THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA AUG 24 1929 STATE LIBRARY KILLED WOMAN Robert Jones Sought for Murder of Alma Roane. R. W. G. COUNCIL ST. LUKE MEETS HERE. VOLUME XLVI NO. 41 Rob R. W. Police are searching for Robert Jones, whom they allege shot and killed Alma Roane, colored, of the 800 block Moore Street, shortly after 9 o'clock Tuesday night. The woman was dead when the ambulance arrived. Jones is described as being five feet six inches tall and weighing 160 pounds. He has three gold teeth in front and wears sideburns. A warrant charging murder has been placed against the man. Gracie Bockett, 77, of the 100 block Koch First Street, is in St. Philip Hospital in a critical condition, as the result of being stabbed, police claim, by Wilson Curry, colored, of the same address, as the result of an argument on the 100 block West Canal Street. MABEL WILLEBRANDT DEFEND ANT IN DOLLAR J BREL SUI St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 19.—Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and the Current News Features Company, were made defendant in a lawsuit by Gus O. Nations, former chief of the St. Louis Federal prohibition enforcement unit. Nations, under garnishment proceedings, also tied up funds due Mrs. Willebrandt from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which has published her articles on prohibition and its enforcement. Nations charges the articles were intended to make the public understand that he, while acting as Federal prohibition agent in St. Louis, had been guilty of official misconduct in connection with the Griese-deck Brewery case. The petition, signed by Nations as his own attorney, refers to an excellent reputation and wide acquaintance enjoyed during the tenure of his office from January 13, 1922, to June 30, 1924, and during the years following the publication of articles Mrs. Willebrandt, the first one of which describes how Mrs. Willebrandt "had to fight the Anti-Saloon League to remove a popular agent," which, the plaintiff believes referred to his activities and experiences. AN ANNOUNCEMENT We are pleased to announce to our friends the removal of our office to No. 537 N. Second Street, which is located just next door to our former office. We are now comfortably situated in our own building where we have increased facilities to take care of a growing business. B. A. CEPHAS, Real Estate Agent. I. O. KING DAVID TO MEET IN LOUISA.

RICHMOND , VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY AUGUST 24, 1929 --- The Right Worthy Grand Council, I. O. of St. Luke, has been in session here this week at the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church. The very able sermon by Rev. Joseph T. Hill, the brilliant orator and pastor of the Second Baptist Church, last Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, was a feature. Delegates are here from all over the country. BOUND, GAGGED, ROBBED MAN FOUND BY FAMILY Found bound and gagged when his family returned home late Tuesday night, W. T. Boyles, 30, of Stop 21, Seven Pines car line, told a story of having been attacked and robbed by four men. Boyles, according to Magistrate G. F. Franck, of Henrico County, was alone in the house reading a magazine when he looked up and saw two white men walking toward him. In another room he saw two more men. The victim of the attack said he jumped up and struck one of the thieves before being felled by a blow on the head made with a blunt instrument. When he regained consciousness some hours later he found himself securely tied to a table with two belts. He had been gagged with a piece of child's clothing. When his family returned and released him he called Henrico police and Captain Fred Bates, J. O. Blankinson and G. F. Franck responded. They made a thorough cheek of all valuables and found that only a small amount of cash was missing. Captain Bates said that other than a "large bump on his head" Boyles was uninjured. He declared that the victim of the attack gave a "fairly good" description of the men who entered his home. WHERE IS JULIA BELL JONES? Mrs. Eliza, Parker, of Boston, Mass., is very anxious to locate her daughter, Julia Bell Jones, who left her home in Richmond, Va., some years ago. At that time she was living with her aunt, Mrs. Annie Jones Brown. It has been reported that Julia went to Philadelphia, Pa. Her mother is now in Richmond and will be glad to receive any information concerning her. Send all communications to Mrs. Eliza Parker, care Mrs. Annie Brown, 630 N. Twenty-ninth Street, Richmond, Va. Dr. Albert A. Tennant and his madame left several weeks ago and spent a part of their vacation in Chicago. They will attend sessions of Supreme Lodge, K. of P., and Supreme Court, Order of Calanthe. GRAHAM-MORRIS The Fifth Street Baptist Church was packed to its utmost capacity last Tuesday night, the occasion being the marriage of Miss Rirr Giles daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Charles Satchell Morris, to Mr. Lorenz Bell Graham. The happy couple will reside at the Bendoo Industrial Mission, Monrovia, Liberia. All parties seemed delighted. Rev. Dr. Morris invittable. Ceo. Dr. Morris invittable way. The order was perfect. The reception took place Tuesday day, 8:30 to 9:30 P. M., at 724 N Fifth Street. YELLOW CAB RATE REDUCTIONS The Yellow Cab Co. has surprised practically everybody by its new move in rate reductions. How can it be done is the question? But it is done and the "proof of the pudding is the eating of it", so the trial of these low rates by riding in the Yellow Cabs will bring to both mind and pocket the knowledge that this city and its people are getting "mighty low" rates from one of the most reliable transportation companies in the country. The Yellow Cab service is 25 cents for a ride in any direction not exceeding one and one-quarter miles; 35 cents if you do not go more than one and eleven-twelfth miles. The difference between a mileage rate with a meter to protect you is that if you go one block beyond the zone line, you pay 50 cents instead of 25 cents. In a Yellow Cab, you would pay 35 cents, that is 10 cents more. Children going to school, persons going to railway station or boats, on picnic parties can order a Yellow Cab for the party. The cost will be cents and less for parties of 5 and 6. You can arrange to have the cab meet you you return at the same rate. It solves the parking problem. You do not need to park. You can leave your own car at home and save money when you wish to go shopping. The rate will be from 5 cents to 10 cents per person. Your neighbors can join in with you. The late Dr. C. A. Bryce often said to his friends: "Whenever I feel like saving $5.00 or $10.00 per day, I leave my car in my garage." This was said of the new street car as a money saver. Now it applies to the Yellow Cab. You can visit in one neighborhood and when you are through a trained, expert employee of the Yellow Cab Co. will bring his machine, not on a railroad track, not on a regular route, but just where you want it.

PLANNING FOR HOME COMING Extensive plans are being made for the Grand Home Coming at Fourth Baptist Church in October. The membership has been divided into organized groups with captains. Each captain is fired with enthusiasm. The children of the church are known as "Live Yres!" They are live and wide awake, real go-getters. Dr. F. W. Williams, pastor, says he is sure of a grand success in this movement. The Sunday School went on its annual picnic last Monday. Large automobiles took the happy picnickers to Springfield Country Club. Happy parents and children called the day "perfect". As usual, many members of the Sunday School and Church are attending the State Convention. FULTON NOTES Last Sunday morning the sermon was delivered by the Rev. C. B. Jefferson. Delegates were elected to attend the Virginia Baptist State Sunday School Convention as follows: Miss Julia Simms and Rev. C. B. Jefferson. The great State Rally Sunday night was a great success. They realized over a $100. The first prize for the largest amount was awarded to Mrs. Rebecca Terrell, who always does her part.

BUSINESS LEAGUE DELVES INTO VITAL JUSSES (By The Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 20. 10-If recommendations of Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, which met here in its 30th annual session Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, are adopted by Negro grocers of the country, Colored Merchants Associations, already operating in Montgomery and Selma, Alabama, and Winston-Salem, N. C., will be established in thirty cities. Such organizations would link up. five hundred Negro grocers in a country-wide chain which "would make possible the employment of least 1,000 more of our people in clerical, selling, and administrative work. It would offer an immediate, valuable, and concentrated market for certain products now manufactured by Negroes. Negro banks, Negro newspapers and all other agencies in our group would directly or indirectly benefit." Three hundred business men and women from New York or to California (Mississippi or Florida) joined by hundreds of Indianapolis people, spent three days in the serious consideration of the problems confronting retail merchandising among Negroes. Paners were read by experts of both races setting forth the handicaps of retailers and offering definite suggestions for remedying the situation. On the program were retailers, wholesalers, teachers of economics, experts in cost accounting, advertising men and others interested in the changing methods of store management and distribution of produce. Following the presentation of papers open forum discussion was held in which divergent views on the causes of the present status of Negro business and the possible remedy were voiced. There were those who expressed the opinion that Negro business is justified in making a race loyalty plea; while others believed that the Negro should cease selling goods to Negro business and courtesy, pointing out examples of Negroese whose trade knows no color line. Business should be business, these said, and the Negro should seek trade without regard to race, and not complain because all PRICE FIVE OENTS AN ane. HERE. OCERS TO E BIG CHAIN s League to Act. the Negroes may not trade with them. Delegates to the meeting stated that it was the most interesting and best attended that the League has held in recent years. Speakers were well prepared and audiences appreciative and responsive freely participating in the open forum discussions. The speeches more factual, scientific, and less inspirational than in former meetings. A sense of having accomplished some accompanied each session. At the Friday morning session loving cups were presented to representative of Louisville, Waco, Texas, and Anne Arundel County, Mary, and winners in the National Negro Health Week contest sponsored by the League. To Louisville went two cups one for the best observance of health among cities of more than 100,000 population and the other for the best observance in all entries. Waco, Texas, won first place among cities of less than 100,000 and Anne Arundel among rural communities. Indianapolis proved to be a most cordial host to the visitors. Not only were they welcomed to city by Mayor L. Ertl Slack and to the State by Otto G. Fifield, Indiana's youthful secretary of state; but by representatives of the schools, churches, organizations, and professions as well as by the hospitality of the people of the city. And, of course, by the Mme. Walker Manufacturing Company interests in whose magnificent new building the day sessions of the meeting were held. Miss Marian B. Cepha has returned home after spending her vacation in New York City. She also secured a canary, brought over on the Graf Zeppelin. Mrs. Adelaide G.

Though baby elephants are just as playful as other babies in animal land, the photographer usually is not on hand when the youngsters romp and play like youngsters will, whether they be human or animals. These youngsters born in Siam, where the king has his own private herd, may some time become members of the pampered royal herd, but just now they are worrying about nothing. The photographer shot them with his trusty camera, the moment they had their trunks entwined in what looks like the soulful kiss that any movie director would give a fortune to reproduce in one of his productions.

Reid Radio Leaders Say Screen-Grid Greatest Improvement in Years I makes greater sensitivity and sensitivity; will produce great volume with facility of tone; is independent of line-voltage fluctuations." O. H. Caldwell, radio engineer and former member of the Federal Radio Commission, looks upon screen-grid radio as one of the outstanding advances in the science of radio. "The screen-grid alternating current tube," says Mr. Caldwell, "certainly marks a tremendous technical advance in tube design in the matter of both amplification and sensitivity of operation. On that, all engineering advice seems to agree. "The outstanding characteristic of the screen-grid tube, of course, is that it greatly increases amplification in both radio and audio stages in stages of detection, in its use as a power detector, gives increased distance reception and added quality of reproduction. "Due to the high-amplification possibilities of this tube, an extremely sensitive set can be designed," said Mr. Caldwell, a statement wholly in agreement with the opinion of A. Atwater Kent, who said: "I regard the screen-grid tube as thoroughly scientific and practical, when used in a properly designed set. Many thousands of our new screen-grid radio sets are already in use. The increased sensitivity the deceived increase in the range of these sets, their exceptional selectivity and beautiful tone quality." Mr. Caldwell, editor of Radio Retail, in a recent issue listed the advantages which advocates of screen-printing offer. The benefits are mentioned in briefs amplification. cl = ~ oy . ie | l aay i heresione’ 3 <" BY EWHOWE.,™. \ 3 | oR EN idan wh a | THE SAME OLD; WORLD=A WONDERFUL = fs. \STORY.OF PROGRESS—RURALY pee EXTRAVAGANCE, ees, PN RB alan tana "THE POOR-NAPOLEON—WOMEN AGAIN _ T often think the poor re like chil- ren who have never grown up.

AUGUST 14 1922 Some people talk hardtimes, when times are good with them. Some people do not like to pay out money they owe other people, but delight to take in money whether it is due them or not. If colored folks vote like they talk there will be a peculiar situation here in November, with hundreds of them remaining at home. African women, who have been going naked for centuries are greatly pleased over the fact that the fashion which originated with them is now being patronized by the women of the civilized world. The Democratic leaders announce that they will not solicit or accept any money from the National Democratic Party. As the treasury of that great political organization is empty and overdrawn and has been for some time past, this should occasion no surprise. Now they are charging that slavery is in existence in the Negro Republic of Africa. President King has invited this Government to send a Commission to investigate these alleged conditions. We feel satisfied that when the facts are known, white men and not Negroes will be found to be the originators of the report as well as the ones responsible for conditions existing there. The death of John N. Lawler, president of the Union Life Insurance Company, has shocked his many friends, both white and colored in this city. He was a man with a charming personality and a loyalty to his friends that was transcendently pleasing.

Henry Doherty, the well known Los Angeles, Cal., attorney, who is a Roman Catholic, was responsible for her elevation to office will no doubt be a most embarrassing development to him. She has demonstrated that she has an over-supply of ogotism and a deficiency of commonsense. She has proven to be worse than the proverbial "bull in a china shop". This female attorney is alleged to have had her eye on a Federal judgeship and to have experienced a disappointment in not receiving it that has materially added to her acidity of temper and to that disposition to injure those, who have formerly been her best friends and ```markdown ``` Funeral Parlor Rest Rooms Display Rooms Lodge Rooms Phones: Office Ran.2073.

She says that the cost of dissipating and destroying "num row" off the Atlantic Coast was eleven million dollars. It is our opinion that she could have bought off the men engaged in the traffic for half of this amount. She makes this astounding admission, which is as true as Holy Writ: We cannot forget that as long as a large number of people have a thirst for alcoholic stimulants and other people have a desire to "make big money quick", liquor will be produced and consumed, in spite of laws or officers of the law." No ardent "wet" claims more than this. It brings the whole question to the home, to the cradle, to the inculcation of temperance in the young. It is this action on the part of the Roman Catholic Church, which has enabled it to build up a body, which has defied the wasting effects of time and the attacks of its bitterest enemies. Here we are expending eleven million dollars on one narrow spot on the coast-line, while we are appropriating more than forty million dollars per annum to be expended in attempting to realize a vain hope. This amount should be used in the homes and school-houses of the nation. Nowhere else will it do much good. It has an indirect tendency to increase the number engaged in alcoholism. It becomes the means of breeding crime and criminals. Drinking wine, beer or whiskey is not in itself a crime and all the power of all of the governments of the world cannot make it so. It is more or less a disease and we must necessarily set about eliminating it by common-sense methods. Mrs. Willebrandt tells about the beer leak without mentioning the fact that tens of thousands of families make their own beer and believe in it from the fact that it contains less alcohol than home-made wine. After stating that the cooperation of State governments is essential to the enforcement of the Prohibition laws, she declares her antagonism to superceding State officials with Federal ones. Here is what she says: A former prohibition administrator of New York City, Mr. R. Q. Merrick now prohibition administrator of Virginia Gov. Glenn and North Carolina, said in his Democrat contest essay that he could put an end to the liquor traffic in his district if he had five times his present force of eighty men. His district embraces 246 counties in three States, and Mr. Merrick said that his force of eighty men could only "scratch the surface." But Mr. Merrick is wrong in thinking that 400 men or 4,000 men sent to his district from Washington could stop the liquor traffic if co-operation were withheld or obstructive tactics were used by State officers and State courts. The people of America—I agree with the anti-prohibitionists on this—do not want and will not permit an army of officers of the Federal Government to enforce law and order in local communities. Nothing is more contrary or repugnant to the basic principle of our form of government. Monarchies enforce their kings' will by the use of an army under centralized, automatic control. But democracies do not work that way. Local self-government and law enforcement are the basis of our republic. The job of the Federal Government in enforcing prohibition is to supplement the work of the State. But where the State authorities are inactive, or—worse still—obstructive, the work of the Federal Government is nullified. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt tells about the "whispering wires" decision, which originated at Seattle, Washington, and openly admits that the action of the United States Department of Justice is a dangerous and unwarrantable policy to follow, although its legality was upheld by a divided United States Supreme Court, showing, of course, the degeneracy even of that great tribunal, when it comes to passing upon vital phases of this liquor law. This then was this woman-teacher lawyer's attitude in dealing with her superior in office. It is further emphasized and shown in the following extract: The Prohibition Director of a THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRG Western State was convicted of refusing to prosecute a rum-runner when he had plain evidence of his violation of law. The Prohibition Director defended himself on the ground that the prohibition act punished only commissions of crime, not omissions on the part of agents who failed to report crime. It was a nice legal point. Lawyers here were split over it and the Supreme Court itself was even finally divided. But I insisted that Congress intended to catch defaulting agents just as much as bootleggers. Mr. Mitchell, Attorney General (then Solicitor General), turned down my first brief and wrote one himself on the other side of the question. When the case was set down for argument again, I persisted in my view and Attorney General Litchi told the fair-minded lawyer that he is, said. "Go ahead. File the brief according to your own views, but I can't sign it with you." We had much friendly rivalry in the department over the fact that I went before the court to argue a view of the law with my superior officer's brief on file presenting the other side. The outcome, however, left the smile with me, for although two justices dissented, the Supreme Court's majority opinion adopted my interpretation of the law. And the opinion was written by Justice Butler—Attorney General Mitchell's former law partner and close friend, He said (page 572): Diligence and good faith on the part of enforcement officers are essential * * * * The infliction of punishment for their intentional violations is an appropriate means to hold to the performance of their duties. This opinion has had a noticeably wholesome and cleansing effect on agents and United States attorneys alike. Is there any person, white or colored, old or young, who would not have regarded the rules of propriety and exercised the simplest dictates of commonsense and left out this part of her article glorifying herself? Attorney General Mitchell is a scholar and a jurist and she is only an humble practitioner, who had been by the whil of the political prohibition machine projected into high office, where the plaudits of the prohibition extremists and the flattery of the multitude turned her head and made her forget the fundamental principles of right and wrong.

There is a close bond BY FRANCES DUNCASON Good food habits for children are the foundation of good nutrition through life. There is a close bond between adult health and child feeding. Nutrition in child hygiene has become an important factor in the life of every individual. Careful mothers are neither over-indulgent nor impatient. Nor do they dishearten the child by insisting the food "is so good for you." It is their responsibility to see that the entire family cats wholesome, attractively served foods. Malnutrition and under-nourishment are as prevalent among children of the rich as of the poor, says C. U. Williams, maker of Iceomatic electric refrigerators.

GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST American Company Hard-Backed Cotton by 22 Million Bills a year. In the beginning 700-year-old. Labor in Paris. 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. 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 "the is more universally interested in education and in studying religion in a sincere effort to learn its personal value to him." There is also no such thing 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 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 nonsectarian 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 tents thousands of bible-study courses were sold in the United States last year," states G. E. Bogart, commissioner of the Direct Selling Federation, Chicago, Illinois, and surveying 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 books through the 1282 sales of bible-study books into several thousand courses, the majority in the cities and town." Sunday School Lesson International Sunday School Lesson for September 1 EZRA'S RETURN TO JERUSALEM Ezra 7:6-10; 8:21-23, 31, 32 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. About 80 years after the first return to Jerusalem from Babylon, unser Zerubbabel, Ezra led a second expedition of size. There was the constant urge upon the devout Jew to have part in the restoration in the land which had been given him in perpetuity by Jehovah. This work of leadership had become a matter of conscience to Ezra as he meditated on the entire situation, for he "had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah and do it, and to teach to Israel statutes and ordi- nances. Autization had been obtained from King Artaxerxes and special favors were granted. There is a fine admixture of faith and presence in Era. Though much treasure was carried no armed escort was requested. Such a request could not be made in view of Johovah, in which he had declared concerning the keepers of Johovah. A survey stop was made at the river Albaa, when the census was taken it was discovered that not a Leftera was in the company. From of old this tribe had furnished two, who ministered in the worship of sacrifices and offerings, and three were very elaborate. At once chosen men were sent back, the brethren and thirty-nine descendants of Levi were trained to become emergency men to go with the expedition. They also received 220 Nethenim, whose duties were less formal in the worship but highly essential to the extent of nearly $5,000,000 had been given by the king and fellow Hebrews. Ezra did not assume the responsibility for its care but appointed twelve priests and ten laymen 33 custodians. Ezra took three days to size up the general situation and then reformed began, for base things had been established in the comparatively few years of residence by the earlier pilgrims. They had intermarried with the Canaanites and seven other named nations (91). Herein had been the basic cause of the former idolatrites which made the Captivity necessary. Ezra took his garments, hair and beard and then "sat down confounded." Now the others could take in the situation and Ezra was joined by those "that trembled at the words of the God of Israel." Hearthen wives were put away. The penalty for any return to such alliances was to be punished with national ostricism. Ezra made it clear that the Lord's favor could be reckoned on only when His truth is wed. His working principle is stated in the Golden Rule: God is upon all their feet that seek Him.

Your mother lies dead back there; you've covered her poor little body with sand to keep the jackals from Can you do it? Will you? That's how look round now and let yourself go!" She felt her bewitched, benumbed, yet mystically alive to a thousand tragedies. Her eyes rolled around the staring throng, and made out Tom Holby gazing down at her from his camel and pouring sympathy from his own soul into hers. Then she flung her head from side to side in a torment of woe, cast her back back, and heaved her big eyes up into the cruel brazier that seemed to see God peering down upon the little multitude, and moved her lips in supplication. She felt the words and the anguish wringing her throat, and the tears came trooping from her eyes, ran shining into her mouth, and she swallowed them and found them bitter-sweet with an exultation of agony. There was such weird reality in her grief that the director's glasses were blurred with his own tears; the camera men were gulping hard. As her upward stare again encountered Tom Holby's eyes she saw that tears were dripping from his lashes and that his mouth was quivering. The sight of his tears sent through her a strange pang of triumphant sympathy, and she broke down sobbing would have fallen to the sand, if Laya La mare DON RILEY "God bless you.

He was saying: "God bless you! That was the real stuff! You're a good girl! The real thing!" Then she began to laugh and choke, became an utter fool. "God bless you. That was the This was her first experience of the passion of minicry. She was as ashamed as glorified, as drained yet as exultant, as if a god had seized her and embraced her fiercely for a moment, then left her aching, an ember in the ashes. The director was already calling the mob to the next task. She could not help glancing toward Tom Holby. His camel was moving off with the crowd, but he was turning back to gaze at her. He was noticing his head in approval and he raised his hand in a salute of profound respect. Memi's sin had led her to the edge of paradise, and then drawn her back by the hair.

She began the sordid routine of her tasks, but, contrasting them with the glamour of playing tragic roles, she felt herself entombed. Then the summer heat began and grew so force that her employer and his family went to the seas.ore. She spent much thought upon the letter home tha. she had not yet written, that she must write if ever she were to go home again. The whole purpose of this long, long journey into loneliness was to be able to write that letter; and it had not yet gone. Every time she made the beginning her hands flinched from the lying pen. But one night in a frantic time of histronic enthusiasm she dashed off her fable, sealed it in an envelope, and dropped it after dark in the mail box. I was stamina and a lap! How can I harden the terrible news? I can harden the bear to think of it, let alone write about it. But my darling husband padded away in the desert. I cannot write for the participants now, for I am too agitated and grief stricken and I do not want to harrow you with details.

Her piece of concealment would be dislabeled Still, it would not matter. She was a widow now is the minds of her people and she could go back to them and face the future in calm. The mountains had a beckoning look always, and on this afternoon, when a clouded sky gave a little shelter from the sun, she set out to obey an impulse to climb as far as her strength would take her. The exertion of climbing was more than Mem had bargained for. The steps that looked no inviting THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page from a distance were ragged and forbidding. The burnt-almond mountains were hot and sharp-edged gridirons to her feet. The sun came blazing forth and seemed to spill upon her a yellow hot mass of metal that slashed her about the head and rolled over her shoulders in blistering ingots . A stone rolled under her foot and shook her from her balance.

Mem was taken home. The village doctor did all that his skill could do. Though she had never dared to visit him, he knew of her, and knew her as a widow. When she was strong enough to be talked to he prepared her for bad news. "Am I to be crippled for life?" she cried. "No," he sighed. "You will bear no marks of your accident. But you will not—but your other hopes and expectations—will not be realized." She was dazed and he was timid, and he had some difficulty in making her understand his bad news; that she would not be a mother. She bore this blow with a fortitude that surprised him. * * * * * And now Mem was weak and wobeogebee, at the bottom of the cloft of life. She had never climbed very far, but she had fallen far enough to give both soul and body an almost fatal shock. She was a drudge in poor family in a settled settlement abandoned by all that could get away. The only inferior she could see were a young widow named Dack and her five-year-old boy, Terry, Mrs. Dack took in washing. The boy Terry was of the Aiel breed. His fancy girdled the gothic in forty minutes. He mimicked birds and animals and often covered his mother with terror and amused chagirn by imitating her clients with uncanny skill. Once the child caught cold—in all that heat! and Mem sat by his bedside through several smothering nights, while the back-broken mother scept. Mem exercised her skill in making up little dramas to while away the tedium of the long nights and to keep the wakeful child's mind from his cough. During his illness Mem received a letter from Leva Lemaire, saying that he had just seen in an old paper paragraph describing "Mrs. Woodville's" fall from the mountain and her miraculous escape from death. Leva expressed the utmost sympathy and prayed that her beauty had not been marred. She added: "But if it has, you can still find something to do in the movies. I've given up trying to be an actress and taken a position in the laboratory projection room, correcting the films. It's cool and dark and interesting. I think I can get you a place, if you'll come up. There's no excuse for a woman of your education and charm wasting your sweetness on the desert air. Do come! I've sent my three children out to their uncle's ranch. You could live here with me and my friends." The thought of working in the dark and the cool was a hint of Paradise to Mem.

Summer Perfumes Perfumes and summer have an undeniable kinship. The nature scents are never sweeter or more alluring than at this fragrant season. And not unnaturally the woman who values charm and daintiness adds to her flower-tinted wardrobe nests of new, flower-scented sachets; to her dressing table the atomiser, summer perfumes and toilet water which will enable her to rival the freshness and allure of her surroundings. In selecting summer perfumes it may help you in your choice to remember that a light flower or bouquet scent is much more suitable for hot days than a heavy cloying oriental scent. Heavy thickly sweet fragrances convey an illusion of heat. A rain-drenched lilac has a fresh delicate scent infinitely more delicious on a warm day than the heavy sweetness of a tuberose or narcissus. * the same principle holds true of your own perfume * An exotic languorous blended scent is much less CHICKEN FENCE C THE NEW YORKER A strip of chicken fence wire nailed in the top of a radio cabinet is making the favorite copper wire aerial look to its laurels. Long distance radio reception without the aid of an outside antenna was found successful for the first time when McKordy Silver began to use 8-point soft wire mesh to receive signals in his newly created sets. Miss Ardette Cawdhaler demonstrated this inside antenna at a recent convention of radio men in Chicago. The wire used for the antenna is tinned, instead of galvanized as chicken wire, since tin is a better conductor of received signals than zinc. Every point where two wires cross forming the meash is carefully "soldered together" with tin for good ether SEND U Wedding --- Wedding and Visiting Cards The Planet, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va. successful than a faint fresh flower odor. Some fastidious women even banish their perfume bottles at the first sign of summer weather and use only Toilet Water, a light diluted perfume water that is delightful to use on the hands and face in an atomiser or in the bath. Let me warn you that the scent of perfume cannot be used to disguise the odor of perspiration so be sure before you spray a flower essence on your gown that you have scrupulously attended to the use of a deodorant which will keep you immaculately fresh throughout the day. Experiment a little with the dainty, not too lasting summer scents, and select one that not only pleases you most but that best expresses your own daintiness and personality. Hulga Rubrstein CATCHES MUSIC wave contact. A "lead" wire connects inside a cabinet-antenna with the antenna binding post in the chassis. As a result the set is simply plugged into the lighting outlet like a floor lamp, and no further installation is necessary. "Less static is picked up by this newly devised type of antenna on the inside of a cabinet than by an aerial." Mr. Silver, president of Silver-Marshall, Inc., explained. "Enginemans have been working for years to improve the bother of outside antenna" on this set, but this has been accomplished by the exceedingly high amplification in this set, which makes a piece of chicken fence wire inside the cabinet the only contact necessary to receive broadcast programs, even from distances of a thousand miles or more." US YOUR OR Nowhere, not even in the Navy is such strict discipline maintained as in the Merchant Marine. This is true not only in our own shipping fleet but doubly so in the Merchant Marine of Europe. The master of a ship is not only the judge but the jury as well aboard his vessel. After the ship has been nosed into her pier by a fleet of noisy little tugs, and the last passengers have gone down the gangplank to greet their friends, then, and not until then does the crew get a real chance to relax. Thousands of people came down to the piers to wish their friends welcome. The Ile de France, one of the floating palaces of the French Line carries a crew of 812 and has accommodations for 1638 passengers. The recreation period for the crew is naturally looked forward to eagerly, for then there is a let up in strict discipline maintained aboard an ocean greyhound like this. The photograph shows how some members of the crew spend their recreation period. Music is loved by all, so out comes their portable Brunswick Panatroure with the jazz records they prefer and dance and song reign supreme. The lower photo shows a view at the pier hours before the departure of the ship. The insert shows the most famous statue in the world, the Statue of Liberty, gracefully bidding welcome to visitors from the old world and symbolizing the liberty and freedom of our land. (Herbert Photos, N. Y.) Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart Before you start to do any canning, it is advisable to have scientific directions for each step of the work. The United States Department of Agriculture has a bulletin that is free for the asking. It is known as Farmers' Bulletin 1471-F, "Canning Fruits and Vegetables at Home." Every part of the canning process is described; illustrations showing just what is meant, and a full explanation of the reasons that lie behind recommendations made is also included. On the success of your canning and preserving depends much of the prosperity of your special department in farm management. So do not risk a single failure through spoilage or second-class results. Send for a copy of that booklet before you are confronted with too many harvest fruits and vegetables that require immediate preservation.

BURKE DENIES ALLEGATIONS ON RELIGIOUS ISSUE Republican Committeeman Answers Charge Made by Mabel Willebrandt Washington, Aug. 7—James Francis Burke, general counsel of the Republican National Committee, today denied that during the presidential campaign last year he "urged or suggested" that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant Attorney-General in charge of prohibition, discuss any man's religion or any religious subject." Mr. Burke's denial was made in reply to statements of Mrs. Willebrandt in newspaper articles copyrighted by Current News Features. "Ordrinarily I say no attention." Mr. Burke said, "to campaign cannards, but in the interest of truth and all concerned, I am compelled to deny that during the last presidential campaign I ever urged or suggested that Mrs. Willebrandt discuss any man's religion or any religious subject; nor did I ever insert or attempt to insert, any religious comment in any speech she made or intended to make; nor was any manuscript of hers containing any attack on any man's religion or persecution of any person; nor was religious issue, ever submitted to or scrutinized by me; nor did any manuscript of her Springfield (Ohio) speech which came to headquarters contain any such expressions as "Go back to your pulpits and preach this doctrine," or any akin to it. "It is needless to say that had Mrs. Willebrandt or any other person submitted to me a speech attacking my own religion, I would have resented and repudiated it."
