Simmons Opposes Supreme Chancellor Green. North Carolina & Virginia Denied Admission.-Pythian Temple Debt to Contractor $335,000 VOLUME XLVI NO.42 Pythian Roscoe North Caroli (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28.—Out of the assemblies of the deliberative bodies of the Knights of Pythias which are gathered in this city for their golden jubilee celebration, or the twenty-fifth biennial of the order, meeting here in a state capital which styles itself the "crossroads" of the nation, there seems destined to come a program of future Pythian endeavor which shall cause this great convention to be remembered through the long years as the historic "crossroads" period in the history of the order when its leaders girded themselves for an effort which meant that they must cease to rest upon the laurels earned in a half century of activity and strike out upon a new road that would throw the strength of this great fraternal order into paths of greater racial usefulness. The activities of the convention began Sunday when the annual sermon was preached by Bishop R. E. Jones, of New Orleans, at Simpson Methodist Episcopal Church. Public Reception Monday night a public reception to members of the order was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, at which welcome addresses were made by the secretary of state and the city attorney, by Mrs. Lillian Jones Brown, on behalf of the women of Indiana by Attorney F. B. Ransom, on behalf of the order, and by Gen. W. J. I. Reed on behalf of the uniform rank. City Attorney Smiley Chambers and Secretary of State Otto Fifield welcomed the visitors officially because, as they said, Indiana was proud of its colored citizens and happy to have as visitors their friends from throughout the nation. The convention sessions proper opened Tuesday morning. They were divided into three sections: composed of the supreme judge, whose activities are presided over by the supreme chancellor, S. W. Green. It met in the casino of the Walker building. The women's auxiliary, under supreme vice-chancellor, E. G. Tidrington, met in the newly opened building of the Young Women's Christian Association. The Knights of Omar, under Imperial Potentate, J. L. V. Washington, held their sessions in the Pythian Temple. Bitter Attacks The supreme representatives to the supreme lodge went to work with the air charged with conjecture as to what the program and the activity would be. The last Pythian convention, held in Chicago, had been envenienced by the determined effort which Texas had made to take the convention to that state and the attacks made by Texas upon S. W. Green, present chancellor, in behalf of W. S. Willis, the Texas giant. There had been a number of skirmishes in the two-year period since the last convention between Supreme Chancellor Green and Grand Chancellor Willis, of Texas. Charges and countercharges were made, but the controversy was not settled and representatives to the supreme sessions had looked forward to another meeting such a necessity nessed in Chicago. But one week before this convention Willis, of Texas, died and at last Sunday's memorial services the order praved for him. Jackson Leads Fight However, it was not felt that the death of Willis was going to relieve the tension in Texas. From out the secret sessions of the supreme lodge there have leaked reports of a titanic struggle being waged between the present administration and its foes. No sooner had the convention been called to order, it is said, than A. S. Jackson, chairman of the Board of Directors, of Texas, and secretary of the board of education for the Methodist Episcopal Church, beg sorties upon the chair as a sort of test of strength. Texas is said to have taken a central spot within the supreme lodge hall from which its representatives deployed among its friends and the other delegates to test the spirit of the things. At afternoon of the first day, it was freely predicted that something was going to break loose, Green had held his own at the morning session. Jackson, seeking to curve his way through with sharp-edged words, found these words muffled in the blanket of the supreme chancellor's super poise and knowledge of the law. Green is said to have been cheered repeatedly as he repulsed attack after attack. Simmons Against Green Stamions Against Green Then came the afternoon. The opposition, so it is reported, seems to have conferred and decided that it was time to switch the burden of attack to other shoulders than Jack-knife. Those seems to have fallen to Supreme Lecturer Roscoe Conklin Simmons. The opportunity for the use of Simmons' high school and learning came early in the afternoon when it became apparent that the delegates from North Carolina were going to be denied the suffrage of the supreme lodge because of the wanton failure of the grand lodge of North Carolina to pay its supreme lodge taxes. The supreme chancellor had announced his unwillingness to admit North Carolina, stating that there were no extenuating circumstances and that the supreme lodge could not exist if it did not compel the subordinate lodges to perform in accordance with the law. All Must Pay Simmons sprang to the floor to plead for mercy. Not only for RICHMOND,VIRGIN1A,SATURDAY AUGUST 31,1929 Arkansas, but for other delinquent states. He followed N. J. Fredericks, of South Carolina, who had pleaded for that commonwealth. With measured words and cadences the supreme lecturer wove a spell over the delegates. He was seeking to make the supreme chancellor alter his decision. But when Simmons had finished, it is said, the supreme chancellor simply announced that the decision had been made in accordance with the rules of the constitution. Simmons was simply baffled, it is reported. In the midst of the excitement which was breaking out in spots, he arose and stated for the delegates to hear that the decision of the presiding officer might be appealed from. Ruled With Iron Rod Those who heard the supreme lecturer say that he did not mean to force en issue, that he merely meant to taunt Green with that threat. But the little man was in no mood to be taunted. He brought order out of pandemonium as representative after representative sought the opportunity to speak. All were forced back into their seats. And when pin-quiet had been restored the words of the supreme lecturer were thrown back into his teeth. The supreme chancellor is reported to have accepted the challenge. He set the stage himself for Simmons' appeal. But the great orator was not ready. Under Green's disdain, he wilted. In a sharp colloquy between himself and the chair the blight was placed upon him. "I had not meant to appeal," he asserted. "Such a thought must have been born in the supreme chancellor's suspicious heart." "What it was not," the supreme chancellor is reported to have retorted, "it came out of your suspicious words." The dignified representatives cheered and back into the laps of the opposition went the supreme lecturer, whipped and silenced. The effect of that bitter encounter was to reveal the strength of the administration and the weakness of its foes and thus release the administration for attention to the real work of the lodge. $335,000 Still Due According to the report of the supreme attorney, S. A. T. Watkins the sum of $335,000 is still due the contractor for the Pythian Temple in Chicago. A committee of eleven men with Grand Chancellor Charles B. Wickham, Oklahoma, as chairman was appointed to devise ways and means for taking care of this debt Other members of the committee are N. J. Reynolds, Tennessee; B. A Blount, Alabama; W. W. Andrews Florida; Theodore Bond, Arkansas J. A. Brown, South Carolina; T. C TEN YEARS FOR MAN HELD FOR ATTACK Negro Convicted After Two State Witnesses Admit False Testimony (By Associated Press) Centreville, Tenn., Aug. 15.—A Negro against whom two witnesses admitted in open court that they had testified falsely, today was under a ten-year sentence on conviction by a jury of attacking a white woman. Talley Wright, the Negro, was found guilty by a jury last night, after a trial held with 100 national guardsmen patrolling the courthouse and contiguous grounds to maintain order and prevent any attempt at violence. Feeling against the Negro abated yesterday when Robert Brown and Conner Bates, attorneys assisting the State in prosecuting the Negro, withdrew from the case and announced they believed him innocent, because they had learned that Mrs. Zora Lynn, 55-year-old widow and complaining witness, and her two granddaughters, had testified falsely. Mrs. Lynn charged the Negro with attacking her in her home near here last June, and said that Wright held her granddaughters at bay with a pistol during that time. Her statements were corroborated by Mrs. Stella Gordon and Miss Hattie Plunkett, the granddaughters, who yesterday admitted that they were not present. Mrs. Lynn also admitted that they were absent from home at the time she charged the Negro with attacking her. The county attorney, after a conference with the three women and assistant prosecutors, announced that he would not dismiss the case, but would leave it "for the jury to decide." Judge J. C. Hobbs, presiding, also declined to dismiss the case, but in instructing the jury said he would not consider a verdict that carried the death penalty. The jury after deliberating less than half an hour returned a verdict of guilty and fixed punishment at 10 years. Attorneys for Wright announced that a motion for a new trial would be made. Mr. James H. Bolling, of Plainfield, N. J., passed through the city this week enroute to Suffolk, Va. Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge, of Danville, Va., attended the sixieth anniversary meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Sabbath School Convention which met here last week at the First Baptist Church, Southside. She was the guest of Mrs. Susie Robinson. Mrs. Miles C. Debbress is visiting her brother and friends in New York and will spend some time there, after which she will visit Orange, N. J., and Philadelphia. BOSTON SELECTED AS PYTHIAN MEETING PLACE (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28.—Boston, Mass., will be the host of the next biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, according to the decision reached here late Thursday night, as the twenty-fifth biennial session was fathing a close. Many cities invited the order, but after considering the various phases of the question, the representatives decided to hold the next meeting in Boston. DEFENDS WAYNE WHEELER S. McBride, of Anti-Saloon League, Resents Willebrandt Criticism. Cleveland, Aug. 18.—References made to the late Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, by Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant Attorney General in charge of prohibition enforcement, in a recent newspaper article were denounced today by F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. "It seems," Mr. McBride said in an address at the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, "to have become a popular indoor sport by a few dry who are selling articles to the newspapers, wet and dry, and as well to wet magazines, to pan Wayne B. Wheeler, who carried the burden of the battle in the heat of the contest, and who, having passed on to his reward, cannot speak in reply. "The most recent of these is Mabel Walker Willebrandt. If she lives long enough to contribute one-tenth of the time and render a title of the service which Wayne B. Wheeler gave to this cause during his thirty-fifth years of active, conscientious, and curious service, will be caused of her disposition to criticize the motives, purposes and services of Mr. Wheeler. Without his work the name of Mabel Walker Willebrandt would be unknown." In the article in question, Mrs. Willebrandt said she believed that Mr. Wheeler guided the Anti-Saloon League "into dangerous shoals by too much political activity." The Sharon Baptist Church is un- merging extensive repairs aggregating $5,000.00, under the very able pastor, Rev. R. H. Johnson. A. T Holmes is the contractor and seems to be giving complete satisfaction. NATIONAL IDEALS ARE COMING. National Body Meets Next Tuesday.--A Large Delegation Is Expected. WHISKEY DISAPPEARED A colored youngster on last Sunday evening reported an amusing incident, which took place that day at Flower Hill Baptist Church. Three prohibition officers parked their car over from the church. Finally they located three men, who had been selling liquor from about two cages down in the woods, one case having been sold at 25 cents per drink. The officers disappeared in pursuit of the three men who were making record time. They failed to catch them and when they returned were crestfallen to find that all of the whiskey had disappeared while they were engaged in the chase. No arrests were made.

It has a wing spread of 26% ft., weighs 4,400 lbs., and carries a 24 cylinder motor. If found to develop sufficient speed it will be piloted by Lieut. Williams in the International races at Cowes *State of Wight*, England. According to the designers and builders of this plane it will attain a speed of 400 miles an hour. So far as is known this would make it the speediest thing ever built by man. Nothing in the air, on land, or beneath the sea has so far ever been known to travel at such a speed. It is with this speedy craft that the Navy hopes to take the forthcoming Snyder Cup races in which will be entered the speediest machines and the best known air pilots of the world. The man who will pilot this flying craft, is Lieut. Williams, who is the holder of many world speed records. (Herbert Photos). I WANT FIGHT - DRING 'EM ON.

I suppose I know the story of the Siege of Trey, from having read a little of it, and hearing of it many years. It never interested me, its incidents seeming childish, specially that one of the river taking sides, and leaving its banks, at command of the gods, to inconvenience some of the combatants. I read of Napoleon, a real man, with absorbing interest. Every little white there is a new book about him, and I am not satisfied until I get hold of it. His life was crowded with incidents an ordinary man can in some measure understand. His first wife had an impudent troublesome, highly-bred and ugly little dog he hated: he was so frequently away from home on his big affair, that the dog did not know him, and it occasionally bit the conqueror. He tried to bribe a servant to rid of the dog, but could not, with all his power. I have heard all my life that when a man "accounts to something," his wife rewrites and *beys him. Probably Napoleon accounted to more, considering everything, than any other man that ever lived, but both his wives were unfaithful, and made a specialty of nagging him. To any mind the most remarkable incident in Napoleon's life was his return from Efoa. He was a prisoner of the allied nations, after his disgrace at Waterloo. His own country was in hostile hands; his soldiers had turned against him. Yet he landed in France, almost alone, and marched toward Paris. As he encountered soldiers sent against him, he spoke to them, and PHYSICIANS' DIRECTORY. A. M. and 8 P. M. Sunday School Herbert A. Allan, 412 E. Clay Street Linwil E. Bassett, 1719 A. E.

AUGUsT 31 1929 MRS. WILLEBRANDT'S BLUNDER That Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt crowned her blunderbuss career at Washington with the greatest of all her blunders by going into the public press and giving out information that has embarrassed her friends and delighted her enemies now admits of no question. After all, what has she said and what has she done to merit praise from anybody or to elevate her in the good opinion of the justice-loving, right-thinking people of the country? Much she has admitted was known throughout the country and she has emphasized the fact that prohibition under existing conditions is not enforceable. Let us see. In her concluding chapter 21, she says: "You admit that liquor is being sold in large quantities throughout the country," a Western lawyer said to me recently, "and you do not claim that it is much harder for a man who wants a drink to get it now than it was eight years ago, though millions and millions of dollars have been spent for enforcement. And if you still contend that the law can be enforced, how in h—— do you propose to enforce it?" I think that is a perfectly fair question, and I think the profanity is justified in view of the apparent inconsistency between the facts that I have related and my belief as to the possibilities of enforcement. Prohibition is NOT being effectively enforced. I have stated some of the reasons. Because the prohibition law is being violated, often with and by the connivance and collusion of public officials, we are told by anti-prohibition organizations and by many newspapers that a new and alarming threat to our whole system of government has been created by the Eighteenth Amendment. I will not argue this other than to simply call attention to the undisputed fact that in the days of the open saloons and local or State option there were countless violations of the laws regulating the Ilior traffic. The difference is that regulation was attempted with utter failure over a period of more than a century, while enforcement of the national prohibition act has had less than ten years' trial. Here is her reply, which is in fact no reply at all: Another anti-prohibitionist said to me recently: "You are retiring from office after eight years' futile attempt to enforce an unenforceable law. Why not be honest and admit enforcement is impossible?" My answer to that was and is that all my experience tends to strengthen the belief that the prohibition law is enforceable. It is as enforceable as any other law was in its early stages—the law against burglary, against murder, against embezzlement. I know of it that is not violated, and frequently violated. A law is a failure not when there are frequent violations, but when it fails to protect society as a whole against destructive forces. The mere fact that prohibition closed 178,000 saloons, where liquor might be obtained night or day in almost unlimited quantities, is the outstanding proof of prohibition worth. Even if proof could be adduced that for these saloons were substituted 178,000 bootleggers or even 278,000, there would, in my estimation still be justification for prohibition. The failure of prohibition enforcement, its lack of effectiveness so far, is due very largely to failure definitely to centre personal responsibility. This is the way she concludes the chapter: It is a hard, thankless job. No one knows better than I. But I have the comfort of knowing, too, that I have served in its most difficult period, and enforcement has made some advance. There are some who will count me just another "out" in the game; others will say, "She made a sacrifice hit." What is said matters little because of my sure conviction that the man who follows me will advance the policies in which I believe. I believe that he will leave.

This then represents the complete collapse of an egotistic, but brainy California woman, who aspired to a judgement, deceived some of the ablest male and female politicians in the country and has finally landed in a virtual ash-heap. This is the woman that brought about the discharge of some of the ablest and most serviceable officials in the employ of the Government, including a most able warden of the Federal prison at Atlanta, Georgia. But why discuss the matter further? Farewell, Sister Mabel Walker Willebrandt, fare the well! THE UNION LIFE President John N. Lawler of the Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia, was a far-seeing organizer. Despite the fact that his company is mourning his demise, the wheels of business are industriously turning. The mighty machinery gives no signs of slowing up, despite this great calamity. A visit to this great insurance office in the Law Building in this city found every officer and clerk at their posts of duty. Active agents are swarming in with new applications and arrangements have already been made to pay claims just as promptly as though the great leader was still at his post of duty. It seems like the "irony of fate" that just as the company was enjoying its greatest prosperity, the practically tireless president should have been stricken. His sorrowing widow has taken up the threads of business just where he left off and able assistants have redoubled their efforts to keep up the same speed as when normal conditions and no beloved chieftain had been laid low. Those, who knew Mr. Lawler were fully conscious of his noble characteristics, his sympathy for the poor and distressed, his desire to give more than any other company would offer in order for him and his to "keep in front." We urge his many admirers to increase their efforts to build up the Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia. The company is destined to prove a greater boon and stay for its patrons. President Lawler's plans are being carried out and the present force of trained experts are able to carry them out to their full fruition. Ample assets are available to enable the present officers to carry out every obligation and to put into effect the additional suggestions and offers. To beautify hair naturally!

This giant was a double-dyed villain, and, needed killing. The boy became a king, and a hero; his name is, even yet, among the best known of earth. . . My mother told me this story first; and she assured me of its absolute truth. I have never questioned it to this day. She told me God was with young David; that I must keep Him with me, so that giants could not harm me Another favorite was the story of an American boy, who thoughtlessly hacked down his father's prize cherry-tree; too, will stay with me always—just as true as when my mother read it to me. Its wonderful moral lesson, more potent for good than most of modern teaching—"I cannot tell a liar. A liar is just a thief in other dress—and more to be despised. You can padlock against the thief, not the liar. Those dear old books! There were only about four of them; we read them over and over again, committing much of their content to memory. One had to be careful handling them; many a time I washed my hands before being entrusted with the treasured volumes. Now comes the—what shall I call him? Critic? Modernist? who tells the world those stories are false! I do not know what he expects to gain by such allegations. Certainly he cannot make the world better with such heresy, for it is nothing else. I could excuse a political muck-raker, but not the vandal who seeks to tear down the beautiful, the good, the inspiring ideas which my dear mother implanted within me to stay. I am writing just as I feel: If more of our boys were fortified against lying—if more of them were given practical illustrations of God's power, we might have a more law-abiding couple for our future.

DAVEY LEE TEACHES YOUNG GENERATION HOW TO PLAY [Image of a young child standing at a table, holding a small object in their hands.] editor of "My Bookhouse" in a communication read at the meeting. "Too many parents regard the heading of their children—when they read at all outside of school—marly as amusement of no particular importance and with no object save that of entertaining the child. "We must get down beneath this superficial view and consider the whole matter of reading in its true light as the very basis of the child's thoughts, of his views of life, of the mono and ethical standards he is forming the spirit that is awakening and guiding him in and the character that is unfolding. Books for children must be selected scientifically if we would prevent a wrong mentality in the adult."

DAVEY LEE TEACH GENERATION Davey Lee, who is "Sonny Boy" to all the world, is teaching the young generation how to play. This time, it's pocket billiards! And any four-year-old who can't count up to fifteen simply isn't in it in Hollywood since Davey became the youngest billiard champion in the world. When Davey was in Chicago recently, intent on the serious business of recording "The Three Beans" and other professional documents for the Brunswick-Bake-Collender company for distribution on Brunswick records, he insisted on having his billiard table occupied by the recording room, where he could relax between games with a fast game of pocket billiards. Davey is the possessor of the smallest size billiard table made—a 232 inch, and is just able to make the long shots necessary in scientific billiards.

"The World's youngest billiard player is an excellent shot. His eye is fine, and he never falls on the number three," Davies said.

She will be gone 137 days, visiting 81 ports and places in 24 countries. Athens is really three towns in one—the twisted lanes of the Athens that was little more than a Turkish village before the Greek War of Independence, the broad straight streets of the modern capital and the interesting ruins clustering round the Acropolis representing "the Glory that was Greece." The Parthenon, one of the most interesting ruins here, was chief among the buildings with which Podemos adorned the Acropolis about 500 B. C. originally built on floating pontoon or piles on the river's edge, but nowadays well-planned roads and streets radiate from the city in all directions beautiful Buddhist temples are scattered all over the town, and the Royal Palace is one of the show places of Bangkok. Keelung, the chief port of the island of Formosa, is a hive of industry. Formosa is half the size of Ireland and is governed by the Japanese. In its northern fastest route, the city is the headhunters. The Japanese can reign of subjugation, however, but all but wiped out these barbarous people. The seat of government at Formosa is Tahoku. Here fleets of jirikishas, manned by coolies, transport the visitors around the town one of the chief attractions of which is the Governor-General's garden, since the world's most beautiful tropical plants bloom in exotic profusion. eee es ee = = DF — = aS — oS FSS SS a SSS SS 4 eo a = vas = rm ee eee a = Z— SS ZS Ly Pee Be com a OR eS ee ‘| eo ERO Sa Within hs Se se V Ree shay ee Re Cae ey eee re oe — ae a ee ee & ae” eet PN Le ‘Gre 3 * 2 Wi a Wee en - LVN ae as ee oe Gee YY ae ) Bes ees Ue os aie sa oe . e fee os ee We ey | a : oe a Oa 4 ous eas f eee SV ba oo ee e \ | Pag i ee 4 BV). ; les ON BOM, Le 4 a J i | od po . a, eye.

Saninel D. Price, DD. Tue cup-bearer to the king was not supposed to reficct any personal sorrows in his countenance. One day it was otherwise with Nehemiah as he zppeared before Artaxerxes in one of the Babylonia palaces. “Wiiy ace you sad?” brought out a serious situation of the returned pilerims who went forth on two expeditions to Jerusalem. Tt seems that Hanani, a relative of Nehemaih, had recently come from Judea and related how poorly affairs were going with the Jews in the rebuild- ing project. One serious fact was that the walls of the city were still brcken down and there could be no seclusion for reconstruction or safety against the enemy as long as this was so. “The second question was a genuine surprise. “For wiat does thou cequest?” said the king. Nehemiah had his own eager desire but he rad not framed it for presentation, but with quick uplift in prayer unto. Jehovah he expressed his patriotic longing. He would be glad to be commissioned by Artaxerxes to lead a third expedition back to the land whence they had been taken captive. “fier quietly meeting leaders for three days Nehemiah planned a nic ut ride about Jerusalem that he might make a thorough survey of the needs, Then he organized a real building program.

Mem. her elder Elover Barnaby having died in an accident, at the advice of her husband, has been invited to get to Artoona and from nearby limousin that she has met and married Mr. Woodville, a wholly intelligent person. Barnaby has died in the desert. She takes a job as a questic to avoid being a pursue on 'er quests. A call prevents her becoming a traffler. In Arizona she had met Holly, a leading wiz in a motion picture company, and through him gets the opportunity to travel in a desert with the company is. Joanne Lee, a star, a facet of Holly and Live Lame, an extra woman. After her marriage, she becomes a friend of Jaimin Spurs, Arizona and takes an interest in bright little sons. She has a great gift of ministry. Inspired by a letter from Lea, Mimana plans to go to Los Angeles to take a job in a film laboratory. Now Go On with the Story She told Mrs. Dack and Mrs. Reddick that she had received a call to go to Los Angeles at once. Terry was out of danger, but his arms around Mem's neck were witches she could hardly break. The soft hands, the dewy cheeks, the lonely eyes of the child were fetters cruelly tyrannous, but a few days later a taxi deposited her before a car and she was taken. This was Leva's home. A servant who opened the door said that "she would not git back from the studio befo' six or harpast." She was glad to relieve Mem's loneliness with chatter. She explained that Miss Lemaire lived with three other ladies, all of them in the movies, but none of them getting their pictures took. They lived here with no more withthan of chaperonage than a group of bachelors. When Leva and her friends came at dinner time they came like young business men home from office, tired of shop, yet full of talk; eager for amusement, know- ing no law except their own self- grespect for health or reputation or The next morning Mem acquired a cocktick the brief trousseau of a late business bride. Then she went to the studio with Leva and was assigned to the laboratory projection room at twenty-five dollars a week. A hundred pretty actresses got no jobs at all, for they were seeking glory and wealth. All day she sat in a dark room and ran a little projecting machine that poured forth pictures before her on a little private screen. She must watch out for typographical errors, a "to" for a "too", a slip of grammar, a mistake in an actor's or a character's name. Her common-school education was good enough for this, though it was by no means so marvelous as I had told her employers it was. She had told her employers that of the picture her inarticulate happy. For a time she was in a heaven of tumultuous cesties. But gradually the delight turned to torture the torture of envy. She was young and she had been told that she was beautiful. In God made, her pretty it was because He delighted in beauty and wanted it known. He did not grow flowers in cellars. He was not afraid to squander sunshine. If the art of ministry was a God given duty it must be meant for use. She had acted once before a camera, there in the desert. She had brought tears to the eyes of strangers. She was an acress by divine intention. Sig sat in a dark room and watched other people's pictures flow by. It seemed wrong, wicked, cruel. She was mad to act. On the lot Mem saw children, and they were always happy. The mothers were with the little ones. Going to work was going to play. They lived an eternal fair story. She thought of little Terry Dack and his second-hand wagon wagon, helping his mother to pack her bundled wash home to bitter toil. She wrote Terry's mother, urging her to come to Los Angeles with on delay; to beg, borrow or steal the necessary funds; to seize the chance to rescue the divine child from poverty and oblivion, and to earn luxury by giving the world the sunshine of his irresistible charm. And the day after she mailed the letter she lost her job. The tide of hard times had engulfed the studio where she was engaged. All but two or three com- panies were laid off. The labor- get engaged.

Pay day came around no more. She had debts to absolve for clothes no longer fresh. She had tomorrows to absolve for clothes dread. The girls at her house were equally idle and their hospitality lost its warmth for lack of fuel. They tried to make the best of idleness. They wore the records to "Well, as I live and breathe shreds and danced together all day long to pass the time away. Young men who had no money to spend on excursions came to the house of evening and helped to dance away the sediment. She learned a corpionplace for Mem to jig about in young men's arms. She learned to dance. She learned to play a little golf, a little tennis. She went on her first beach picnic. And a little later Mem might have been seen in a bathing suit of popular brevity, substituting a general coat of tan for the forty blushpower she had abandoned. Her soul and her body were her own now. No, they had gone beyond even that. Her soul and body were the public's. Beauty was community property. She was committed to their fullest development into such joyful acrobatic agility and power that they should give joy and a delightful sorrow to the public. For which the grateful public would pay with gratitude and fame and much money. One day in Westlake Park she sat down on a bench and by and by was hailed by a sturdy mid-Western voice. "Well, as I live and breathe! If it ain't Miss Steeddton!" "Why, how do you do, Mrs. Sturgs!" It was a mid-aged woman who had been a member of her father's church and had come West because of her husband's lungs. Mem's first impulse was to welcome anyone from home. Her second was to fear anyone from home. Mrs. Sturgs' life in this Babylon had not changed her small-town soul, body, or prejudices. Mem's wits scurried in vain to bring up protecting lies. Mrs. Sturgs was too full of her own opinions and adventures to ask any embarrassing questions beyond a hasty take-off for her own biography: "And how's your father and your mother and your whole famility? And as I was sayin' yestday, everybody else gets to the Los Angeles city or later!

She has earned a vast amount of gossip, but he doesn't anybody paying such an initiation fee. She had seen no vice at all. Mrs Sturgs flared up. There is nothing one defends more zealously than one's pet horrors. "Don't believe it? Why, it's true as gospell. They sell their souls for bread.

It said: Dear Mrs. Woodville: I was awful glad to get your letter. Been meaning to answer it but trying to fix up my affairs so I and Terry could come up to Mrs. Yasaei.

Hopping to see you soon either there or here, Mrs. P. Dack. P. S. Both I and Terry send you lots of love. Mem was petrified. Nothing could stop her mother from coming. The first blaze of joy at the thought of the reunion was quenched in the flood of impossible situations her presence would create! Old Steddon last raised a family and been habited to a mother's slumber, light and broken with inquiring dances to bedside troubles I by bad dreams or imagined burials or mere thirst or a cough. If her hasty feet found both her slippers or one or neither, she hastened as she was. She would not have paused for a wolf, an antlion, a murdered cat, or a dog. Mem was still her baby in the dark, and it did not matter whether she lay needful and terrified in the next room or beyond the deserts or the seven seas. The mother's own business was to get to her. Her telegraph was her old night cry: 'I'm coming, honey. Don't worry, Mamma's coming to her baby.' She shot this cry across the continent and called Mem "baby," although Mem felt as old as night. When Remember learned that her mother was already the same woman she planned for returning her back. Somehow she had to be, he met and provided for. Every one of the women of Mem's Hollywood household was out of work. She who had savings was lending them to her who had not. And now her mother! With a few dollars from Leva's waning resources Mem took the train to Palm Springs. With Mrs. Dack and her boy she stood on the platform of the little desert town waiting for the up train, and when Mrs. Steddon dropped on the step Mem put her right kick on again! Mrs. Steddon had been prepared to find a scared and sickly child in a shack in Palm Springs. She had come as a rescuing angel. She found that her wings and halo were old-fashioned! When they reached Los Angeles they left Mrs. Dack and Terry at the home of a cousin, then sped on to the bungalow, where Leva made Mrs. Steddon welcome. And now Mem recalled Mrs. Sturgs and her statement (so glibly did she substitute faith facts) that "every one of them has to pay the Price." Mem grew grim as she meditated. The Price—it was only a vague phrase. But she was ready to pay it, whatever it was! The question was, to whom? She brooded a long while before she thought of a shop to visit. She smiled gardonically as she remembered The Woman's Exchange at home where women sold what they made—painted china, hammered brass, knit goods, cakes and candies. Continued Next Week --- --- CHICKEN PENGE CHRISTMAS --- SEND US YOUR ORDER FOR Wedding and Visiting Cards The Planet, 311 N. 4th St., Richmond, Va. --- Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart One of our foremost decorators whose rooms at exhibitions receive special mention for their fresh, clean-cut color and composition, sends an interesting message to home-makers of modest means. She urges them to create beauty in the home by easy stages, adding here a little bit and there a little bit, instead of longing vainly for the time when the room can be re-done as a whole, or costly new pieces bought. One beauty spot may make an entire room inviting, as she plans it. Let us say the room lacks decoration. She will place a simple console table before a window, give it a cover of silver fabrikoid, perhaps, and plan there a group of exquisite though simple things. One such group included a quaint colorful porcelain figure standing in the shade of smart, modernistie-looking cacti in yellow pottery jars, with related plants in colors harmonizing with the dress of the figure. Beautiful shells, old colored glass, a small collection of pewter or porcelain—all these treasures when staged effectively do much to make an interesting room. Summer Luncheon Iced Cantaloupe Creamed eggs on toast Asparagus salad Maple Ice cake Iced Beverage CHICKEN FENCE C 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 McMurdo Silver began to use 8-point soft iron wire mesh to receive signals in his newly created sets. Miss Ardette Covalladine demonstrated this inside antenna at a recent convention of radio men in Chicago. Wire used for the antennas is timed, 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 meam is carefully "soldered together" with tin for good ether SEND Wedding Italian Rice Mix 4 cups cooked rice with 1½ cups tomato juice, ¾ cup grated cheese, 2 teaspoons salt, ½ cup chopped chippings, ½ teaspoon pepper and pour in buttered baking dish.

Refurbishing the Velour Hat For rain-spotted hats of velour, try the following method of restoring the nap to its original softness. Set a hot iron on hand and over it place a wet cloth over the nap to good flow of steam. Hold the hat down over this steaming iron and brush it vigorously with a good bristle. Removes Lime from Kettles A solution of 30 grams of borax in 1 quart of water containing a few drops of ammonia will remove the live deposit from the inside of kettles or pans. CATCHES MUSI wave contact. A "lead" wire connects this inside 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, president shall, Inc. explained. "Engineers have been working for years to eliminate the bother of outside antenna on-stand. This has been accomplished by the accordingly 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 and = Visit Milady's Beauty Secrets By Helena Rubinstem The upper left hand photo shows sixty-nine-year-old young Mrs. Van Skikes of Venice, California, who celebrated her birthday by a deep sea swim of fifteen miles against strong tides and winds, covering the distance in twelve and one-half hours. The big gun is one that guards the harbor of New York City. It spits out a 12-inch shell with a roar that is heard for miles, and throws that shell at a target placed twenty miles away. The young man on the right is the Nawab of Sachin and the ruler of the smallest state in the district of the Bombay presidency. He is credited with being not only the handsomest native ruler in the world, but he is also a multi-millionaire. His state has an area of only 49 square miles, but its population numbers 60,000. At the left, we see William Arnold the high stilted traffic cop of Cincinnati, in the good old State of Ohio. Russell Kissick is the motorcycle hound who pays little attention to the traffic directed by Arnold. What Kissick thinks of Arnold's ability in directing traffic is visualized here. At the right is shown an enlarged photograph of the most destructible fly in America. So destructive is this pest, that is said to have been brought into this country from the West Indies by bootleggers that the fruit growers of Florida have asked the Farm Board to come to their relief. The fly has been known to science for a hundred years. It is only one-fifth the size shown in the photograph, but it has left millions of dollars worth of property damage in its wake. The Department of Agriculture is aiding the growers by instructing them how to spray the citrus plants to avoid invasion by the fly. All these things are contributing their share to the news events of the day. (Herbert Photos). Now that summer is here more and more women will be interested in the type of wave called "permanent," for the warm, moist weather of summer is indicted to take every bit of life and "body" out of naturally straight hair so that it lies limp and dank and unattractive. A permanent wave in this weather proves a real hair blessing, as both heat and dampness affect it as they do naturally curly hair, making it curlier than ever. The term, permanent, is of course misleading, since no artificial wave is ever permanent. But the good so-called "permanent" wave lasts usually from six to eight months, according to the type of hair to which it is given. And this is longer than any other type of wave lasts, except of course, a natural one. Contrary to the belief of many women, the good permanent wave does not injure the hair, if it is in a healthy condition. I know women who have had at least fifteen permanent waves and whose hair is soft and lustrous, quite as healthy and normal as hair that has never been waved at all. Of SEVEN course a great deal depends upon the operator. If you are thinking of "waving" be sure, first, of two things—that your hair and scalp are in a healthy condition, and that you know a skilled operator who can be trusted to do the work well. The hair should not be twisted in wrapping it around the little rods that are baked to give the wave or curl. It should be wound flatly and smoothly to insure, a perfectly natural, smooth, flat wave. When it is twisted a frizzy, irregular curl is the result. Before you go to have your wave prepare your hair for the event by giving it several weekly, or semi-weekly, hot-oil treatments, using sweet oil or olive oil or a specially prepared balsam oil. Part the hair into sections and massage the oil into the partings thoroughly. Then brush the hair vigorously to stimulate the circulation and strengthen the tiny muscles at the roots of the hair. This will nourish the scalp and prepare it for the heat of the waving process.

It is believed that the final sessions of the supreme lodge will result in definite steps being taken to harness the influence of the order to national programs which are concerned in the problems of Negro business, education and employment. The message from the National Negro Business League was an invitation and a plea to have the entire Python jurisdiction to get solidly behind Negro business men and to concern itself with the position of the Negro in industry. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune addressed the supreme lodge in a suspended session on t he responsibilities which confront such an organization in the support of Negro educational institutions. PYTHIANS ENCAMPMENT TRACTS ATTENTION (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28.—The Pythians military hosts have encamped at the State fair grounds. The location is ideal. Indiana's fair grounds are said to be the finest in the nation. Large and expansive with great and expensive exhibition buildings, the area presents the appearance of a modeled town in which the inhabitants have formed the habit of emerging from their homes to assemble around the dirt track enclosure to enjoy the trotting races which are held regularly. Six hundred sparkling white tents house the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias, a rank which boasts of more than 15,000 active members. The tents have been pitched along streets that are laid out in the plot assigned to the drill companies. Sewage and lighting have been provided. A few of the tents were fitted living rooms in the night be with furniture rented from the stores in Indianapolis. The officers' quarters, in most cases, were almost luxurious. Ready-made floors were purchased for these tents which were fitted with elegant beds and feather mattresses. Dressers of the latest design were installed, rockers and lounges. The trappings of the officers 'hanging from the walls and pictures used to adorn gave these tents an attractive and inviting appearance. The tent of the commanding officer, Major General Robert R. Jackson, Chicago alderman, was the largest and most beautiful on the grounds. It was occupied by the Major General and his wife, who accompanied him from Chicago, and credit was probably d ue her for the touch of color here and there which enlivened the interior. Color predominated in all the tents occupied by the women of which there were many. Daily drills were held by the infantry companies and rehearsals by the band. Tuesday night of convention week a mardigras parade was held with torchlights, flares, horns, and all else that goes with such affairs by units of the uniform rank with General W. I. J. Reed as grand marshal. Strict discipline was maintained in the camp throughout the week. Detachments were kept busy cleaning the grounds and the operations of the quartermaster corps, under the direction of General Robert Redd, were without hitch. One of the interesting figures at the encampment was "Mother" C. O. Seames, of Chicago. Mrs. Seames is a nationally known tennis player, being ranked seventh among the women players of the American Tennis Association. But the Pythian tournament swung into action at the same time, and Mrs. Seames found her place among the military rank of the order where she fed thousands of persons The Red Cross Unit of the Uniform rank came in for special deserved praise. These women present an appearance of marked efficiency in their snow-white uniforms and in the earnest manner they perform their duties. S. W.

Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, by Mabel Walker Willebrandt former Assistant Attorney-General in charge of prohibition enforcement, in a recent newspaper article were denounced today by F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. "It seems," Mr. McBride said, in an address at the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church 'to have become a popular indoor sport by a few dry papers, wet and dry, and as well to wet magazines, to pan Wayne B. Wheeler, who carried the burden of the battle in the heat of the contest, and who having passed on to his reward cannot speak in reply." "The most recent of these is Mabel Walker Willebrandt," he continued. "If she lives long enough to contribute one-tenth of the time and render a title of the service which Wayne B. Wheeler gave to this cause during his thirty-five years of active, conscientious and loyal service she will be cured of her disposition to criticize the motives, purposes and services of Mr. Wheeler. Without his work the name, Mabel Walker Willebrandt would be unknown." In a copyrighted article written for Current News Features, Inc., Mrs. Willebrandt declared that she believed that Mr. Wheeler guided the Anti-Saloon League "into dangerous shoals by too much political activity." "Early in my tenure," she wrote, "he offered to help me if I wanted to secure appointments and if for the 'good of the cause' I would let him know of matters officially under consideration. The latter, of course, I would never do—consequently my relations with the Washington office of the Anti-Saloon League remained distant, but were always cordial." "The grave and unfair insinuations made that Mr. Wheeler sought betrayal of official confidence in order to secure information as to appointments cannot go unchallenged," Mr. McBride asserted. "Those who knew Mr. Wheeler best know that this is a gross misrepresentation and that he never resorted to any unfair or understand disloyal methods. Wets and drys alike agree that Wheeler was an open, above-board, fair fighter, and in any suggestion he may have made to aid the Assistant Attorney-General's office in its duty for the 'good of the cause' he never asked any misuse of those trusts belonging to the officials in charge. "There seems to be a marked contrast between the words of approval given Mrs. Willebrandt in our latest national convention, and this word of criticism of the league in the article written for the press. Addressing this convention, she said: "I believe in this organization (referring to the Anti-Saloon League) far more firmly than I did six years ago when I took public office. I believe in it because you are serving in this vast country as one of the most vital organizations to make government efficient and clean." sertion and abandonment for a period of more than three years An affidavit having been made and filed that the defendant, Simon Kenny, is not a resident of the State of Virginia, and that his last known post-office address was Cleveland, Ohio; it is hereby ordered that he appear here within 10 days after due publication of this order and do what is necessary to protect his interest in this suit.
