President Clark's Great Effort.--The Governor of Virginia Sends Greetings to Convention. MUCH CASH AVAILABLE-ORDER'S WORTH IS $75,169.52. VOLUME XLVI NO.43 NA HOLDS Supreme President Cla MUCH The seventeenth annual convention of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., held in the new National Ideal Hall, September 3, 4, 5, 1929, has been one of the most successful since the foundation of the Society. A touching scene took place Tuesday afternoon, when during the course of his annual report, Supreme Master A. W. Holmes, founder of the organization, drew forth a faded envelope, containing the copyright of the emblems granted by the copyright department of SUPREME MASTER A. W. HOLMES Founder Nat'l. Ideal Benefit Society the United States Government and showing that he had applied for, it in the name of the Society and not in his own name. This was done seventeen years ago. The National Ideal Hall is artistically decorated both inside and out and is pleasing to the large number of delegates and visitors, who are here attending the sessions. Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the body was called on. The Board of Directors met Monday afternoon at 2:30 and transacted much business. The social feature was a grand banquet tendered to the members Monday night at Slaughter's Cafeteria. The party went there to eat and the sumptuous repast enabled them so to do. Others Present Those present were: Supreme Master A. W. Holmes, Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., Mrs. R. Belle Wag- ger, Mrs. C. Taylor, Rev. W. L. Anderson, Mrs. F. H. Ricks, J. R. Hicks, Mrs. Minnie Brown, B. W. Perkins, A. C. Clark, Mrs. Susie E. Grant, Mrs. Olivia W. Smith, Mrs. Alma Chapman, Mrs. Sallie B. Cogbill, Mrs. Daisy Hamner, Mrs. Margie M. Copeland, Mrs. Lucinda J. Carter, Mrs. Ellen B. Taylor, Attorney L. C. White, Mrs. Cora J. Lenkins, George A. Arvin, Mrs. M. E. Overton, John L. Holmes, John S. Powell, T. L. Beverly, Mrs. Virgina Plater, Miss Jessie B. Taylor, Mrs. Blanch Maynor, S. C. Jackson, Harry Austin. Opening Remarks On Tuesday morning Supreme Master A. W. Holmes indulged in some plain "opening remarks". He congratulated the members upon their promptness. When Supreme Chaplain, Rev. R. Beecher Taylor, assisted by Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., conducted the devotional exercises practically every office was. Theoll was called and the body was doing business with no street marching, no holding of conferences making trouble. The Society was acting in keeping with its name. There For Business We are here for business, not here for an outing, not to meet friends, but to do business. We want all the information that we can get. Any question you want to ask, ask it. Do not think that anything is too small. The bank books are here, balanced. We are here to represent National Ideal Society for inspiration. We are here for inspiration and legislation. Let us get down to it. Anything that you may have heard, anything that is not just as it should be, we are here to look into it. An Ideal Day It is an ideal day and an ideal situation and in an ideal hall. Where did we get the money to erect this hall? A Closed Question Where did we place the mortgage? We did not have to place any mortgage, when we bought the building. We got the money out of our own treasury. The past twelve months have been the roughest we have ever experienced during the whole history of our existence, but we pulled through. We started with nothing seventeen years ago, with a pile of paper and not a dollar. We threw ourselves into the work, after using one year making preparation quietly at home. An Amusing Story He related a story of a cigar dealer, who was approached by a MATTHEW'S MUSEUM HOME OFFICE BUILDING, NATIO NAL IDEAL BENEFIT SOCIETY 210 East Clay Street Richmond, Virginia customer and asked for an imported cigar. He was told they were there. The customer examined the stock again and he said that he did not see one. "They are imported", said the cigar maker, "for I made every one of them in my back room here." "I know the National Ideal Society is all right," said he Supreme Master, because I made every one of these emblems in my back room up there at 16 W. Leigh Street."

Brown, of Washington, whose only request was that the reporter would not publish what she said. Her remarks were heartily received. Mr. Booker L. Jordan was practically voicing same request. He have sent information that wom hearty approval. His remarks although brief showed him to be one of the leading financial authorities amongst our people in this country. He paid a glowing tribute to the Supreme Master, A. W. Holmes, in incorporating the word "Ideal" in the name of the Order. Much Applause He retired amidst enthusiastic aplause. The Committee on Credentials made a partial report, which was received and the committee con- tinued. The new delegates, who were numerous, were received. Rev. W. L. Anderson, L. C. White and Mrs. F. H. Ricks being assigned to that task. Mrs. Maggie Bunn Copeland was reported as having organized the only lodge in Baltimore Monumental City. Rev. G. E. Johnson made a fine address Took a Recess The Supreme Lodge took a recess at 1 P. M. and reassembled at 3 P. M. Vice-Supreme Master L. C. White presided. After the devotional exercises, Supreme Master A. W. Holmes made his report. After reviewing the work he complimented Secretary, Mrs. S. B. Cogbill, Assistant Supreme Secretary, Mrs. Olivia W. Smith; Supreme Treasurer, T. L. Beverly, and Janitor Harry Alston. He stated that Mr. A. C. Clark was appointed organizing deputy and during a brief period had organized six lodges and one nursery, three of the lodges being in West Virginia and three clubs in progress. President Monroe's Birthplace Twenty lodges had been organized this year. There had been 953 deaths during the seventeen years, and $82,411 paid in death claims. It seems that a colored family near Colonial Beach was about to have their entire farm sold under a mortgage of $3,000,00. Supreme Master Holmes had the sale stayed by ten days and that time the National Ideal Society advanced the money and saved the farm. This place contained the birthplace of President James Mon- Those Prizes The colored people subsequently received $4,000.00 just for the spot where President Monroe was born. Prizes in gold had been offered to the lodges securing the largest number of new members over thirty. The following were successful: First prize, $15.00, Fairmont Lodge, No. No. 189, Philadelphia, 39; second prize, $10.00, Silver Star Lodge, No. 189, Philadelphia, 39; third prize, Emporia Lodge, No. 184, 39. On motion the report of the Supreme Master was received and referred to the proper committees.

Dear Sir: I am deeply appreciative of your kind invitation to address the convention of the National Ideal Society, Inc., on Tuesday, September 3rd. I am very sorry that an engagement made some time ago will prevent my accepting. I hope you will have a splendid meeting. With best wishes. Sincerely yours, HARRY F. BYRD. The reports of the Supreme Secretary, Supreme Treasurer, Supreme Auditor were received and referred. The public meeting Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at Hood Temple, A. M. E. Zion Church, was a success. A large crowd had assembled in that spacious edifice. Supremo Master A. W. Holmes was master of ceremonies. On the rostrum were Dr. J. Clark, the present W. T. Johnson, university Rev. W. Johnson, pastor of First Baptist Church; Rev. R. Beecher Taylor, Rev. B. J. Westray and others. Devotional exercises, and Solostel Chaney sang with charming melody. "I Have Counted the Cost." Welcome Address Welcome address on the part of the Supreme Lodge was admirably delivered by Mrs. Olivia W. Smith. The response was made by Deputy Walter Baddy, of Washington, D. C. Music by the choir. Welcome on the part of the Nursery was extended by Mrs. S. E. J. Grant in an excellent address. The response was made by Mrs. Blanch Maynor, of Philadelphia. A solo was well rendered by Mr. Samuel Johnson. It was then that Mrs. S. B. Cogbill in a most appropriate address introduced President W. J. Clark, of Virginia Union University. Well Laid The distinguished educator said: "The foundation of this Society has been well laid. Seventeen years is a very short time in its future development. There is a good deal in your name. You should continue to grow. An ideal is a splendid thing for an individual. It will lead him on." "The Lure of an Ideal" was taken as his subject, even journeying to that new and beautiful place which is the location of his ideal. The road may be rough and steep, but he presses onward. That Fleeting Vision He would make the fleeting vision of his ideal his own. He would avoid the evil by which he is surrounded. He would make the right Continued on page 8 THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA RUN FELLOWS! PINKY KNOCKED A BALL AND BROKE A WINDOW IN HIS HOUSE! GEE GOSH! I BET I GET A WHIPPING!

NEW YORK'S SKYSCRAPER LAW OFFICE The cliff dwellers of old have nothing on Hammond & Littell, Patent Attorneys of 475 Fifth Avenue, N.Y., located away up on one of New York's skyscrapers. They hit upon the novel idea of building an outdoor addition to their offices on the roof of an extension of their building. Here important conferences are held under the shade of a big umbrella. The stenographer is given her dictation to the breeze of New York's upper strata, and fall this while New York swelters below. So far as is known, this is the first law firm in New York to adopt the outdoor idea. This photo shows how the outdoor office was placed on the building extension.

Their size can be judged by the photograph of Mr. Walter King holding one of his apples of the earth in his hand. If you cultivate tomatoes and want to emulate Mr. King's example, get lots of cinder dust and sprinkle your plants very generously. (Herbert (Photos).) Leutenant Alford J.

Mr. Silver said, and that dignity is seriously threatened by the insertion of long advertising monologues in a high grade musical program. He has站着站着 scout listeners with step watches to check up on the length and frequency of such "husance talk" on various stations. They have found that some preoccupies such as five minutes of peserious interruptions between musical numbers. "Fans who write radio stations about favorite programs should send complaint cards whenever they find these interruptions annoying." said Mr Silver, president of Silver-Marshell, Inc.

"The landslide to the manufacturer who takes the lead in substituting one or two short announcements for the long and dreary talks now prevalent would popularize the idea overnight. Radio engineers have worked ten years and more perfecting receivers which will not destroy good music by imperfect reception. Power tubes to insure tone fidelity, band selector tuners preserving the high notes of broadcast music, dynamic audio speakers to reproduce the full power of low notes and other technical devices have been incorporated in 1929 radio sets to stamp out the appellation of 'canned music' to the programs of symphony orchestras, prima connas and other artists of like standing.

HOWE "The Sage of Pokto Hill" THE SAME OLD WORLD—A WONDERFUL STORY OF PROGRESS—RURAL EXTRAVAGANCE FRIENDS HARD TO HANDLE—DON'T WELCOME SIN LEARNING THE WAYS OF WOMEN There used to be a man who told me I should marry again, and had a woman picked out for me. Somehow I could never squeel him. I had known him so long, although I had never intimated to him that I needed such advice. His assumption that I needed his assistance was extremely distasteful to me; no doubt he spoke to women unknown to me, and made me ridiculous, but I could not help myself. Fortunately I am rid of this man, as he died some time ago, but others remain to keep me sufficiently humiliated. One of the heaviest burdens of my life has always been numerous persons among my acquaintances who make me feel that I never been able to get rid of them. According to my standards they are grossly impolite, but they seem to have friends, and proper. I get along well with active enemies; they at least only scowl at me, and finally they quit talking about me behind my back—but I cannot handle some friends so successfully. I am firmly convinced that the most sensible effort in which a man may engage is to do the best he can with such powers as Almighty God or heredity has given him. There are so many weak and unfortunate that I cannot help them all, but may I help myself? . . . I must eat to live, and food is contrary and malicious. At 9 a.m., when suffering distress from nausee or overeating, I resolve to do better thereafter, but four hours later, with agreeable friends at table, I forget the solemn warning and resolution of the morning. . .

Some say they can pray for strength, and receive it. Others say they are able to exercise their will, and overcome evil; but I have observed that both these boasters are usually as weak as I am; so generally so that their methods do not impress me, and then I am able to inevitably destroy him at eighty, or earlier? . . . Anyway, I am able to regulate it a little, to my advantage, and shall persevere; I am still convinced that there is most comfort; in life for those who resist sin as much as possible, instead of welcoming it. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. I often think of a saying by Napoleon: "I will be compelled to go to school again," he said, when contemplating his second marriage, "to learn the ways of new woman." Napoleon was a king; the girl he was to marry a princess of a subject nation. She had been brought up in the simple German way; she had been assigned him for breeding purposes (and I do not say this in an offensive way, but as a more statement of fact). Why did he not say to this girl, as he said to his subjects: "Learn my ways." Well, the most powerful man cannot do that with a woman. Let a king arrange for intimate association with a peasant woman, and he has another war on his hands. He is no longer king of his country or of himself. He has divided his real power; he may be a Senate of the firm, but must wangle with the House before his acts are constitutional. SEE THE 4-PIECE BUFFET SET.

Some people marry only to separate and some others separate only to get married again. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt may have had another one of her "good crys," but she has been wise enough not to tell anybody about it. This world and the people in it are given to fault finding, lying and deceit. Some children even cannot tell the truth from their "noses to their chins." President Hoover was not either worried or bothered by party affiliations. He had never dealt in such practices. He was a man of the world. Some people are happiest when they are annoying some one else. They want everybody to please them, but are unwilling to please any one else. Rev. C. C. Boone's new book, "Liberia, As I Knew It", is a gem and will richly repay a perusal. We shall have more to say on this subject. If the Negroes of this country agree to surrender their constitutional and political rights, no further evidence is needed to prove that they should never have been given to them. It takes some females two hours to get ready to go in the street. They must conceal their real selves and they can only do so after strenuous labor and much cosmetic cost. When they marry the fellow and he funds that he has been deceived, he will either beat them or leave them, and sometimes both. Dr. Douglas S. Freeman returned to his office last Monday morning and found it a veritable "bower of roses." The fragrance was invigorating and bracing. It was a reminder that he has many friends, Colored folks cannot get to him up there very well, but he can rest assured that thousands of them have been praying for him. All that is needed to stop the turmoil and strife and disgraceful conduct at the annual meetings of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E., is for that body to elect Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson for life, abandon the gorgeous parades and the Grand Ball. We guarantee that this will bring peace and tranquility, for no one will want the office of Grand Exalted Ruler, not even J.

Although he is a colored man, he claims that he is a Democrat and has complied with all the rules and regulations governing the primaries of that party. If the higher court sustains Judge D. Lawrence Groner in his construction of the law, he will have easy sailing. THE POLITICAL FIGHT The political fight between the two wings of the Democratic party is most interesting, to say the least. The anti-Smith Democratic contingent supported Hon. Herbert Hoover last November and tore the Democratic ship of state from its moorings. It seems that the hatred of the anti-Smith Democrats for the national Democratic organization as now constituted is equalled by the antipathy of this same class to the Negroes. As the time comes on apace when black votes in the November ballot boxes will count as much as white ones, there is a noticeable slowing up of the denunciation of the Negroes by both political parties. Colored people, duly qualified, should exercise the right of franchise for or against either the one or the other of these factions. It seems to us that the election is not destined to go the hundred thousand votes either the one way or the other. Let us examine ourselves and incidentally some of these candidates on whom we shall have the privilege of using the Roosevelt "big stick." There are some "mighty good white folks" in this State and some "mighty bad ones." Let us decide to vote. We cannot vote but one time, but some ten thousand of these pieces of paper would do a world of good or harm if we shall use discretion in the casting of them. Our brilliant young friend, sometimes known as a Republican, Assistant District Attorney Callom B. Jones, has to our surprise developed an antipathy to that class of American citizens, commonly called Nerroes. He has his head sticking through the sheet and under it "candidate for Lieutenant Governor." He invites attention. Shall he oblige him? His opponent, Hon. James H. Price, is just as radical, but he is "sawing wood and saying nothing," so far as we are able to observe. What a pity that the head of that able lawyer, shrewd politician and inveterate office-seeker and office-holder, has not put his head too through one of those political office holes to be thrown at. We refer to Hon. Henry W. Anderson. He put the others on the race track and remained off himself. There is much to be thought about these days. For God's sake, let us get ourselves together and vote. We can vote early, if we cannot vote often. John Garland Pollard, William Moseley Brown, John R. Saunders, C. C. Berkley. Brethren and sisters, let those of us who are qualified make up our minds and vote. It will do us a "world of good," even though it may do some folks "a world of harm." AMERICAN WOODMEN GATHER.

Come and be in spired in preaching and singing Heart Heart Talk by Dr. John Joseph Daines THE POWER I am a firm believer in anything my reasoning power tells me is absolute truth. Once my belief is established, my faith lays hold in earnest. All bodies set in motion by outside influence, and left to themselves, tend to become still—in other words, they come to rest. If I drop a pebble in a still pond, ripples start very quickly. When the impact of the pebble is gone, the little waves gradually become placid again. That's because the force is not continuous. The great planets floating in space are in constant motion. Some wonderful power must have set them to work. And, unless that power is perpetual, the large bodies would in time cease to move. Our earth is rolling now—a thousand miles per hour—swifter than the most powerful airplane! It is also rolling around the sum in an almost incomprehensible orbit, every 365 days. Some stupendous power set the pace. It is still causing the big spheriod to move exactly on time, and with the same unerring precision. The power is at work right now, as it was "in the beginning." I don't need any book to tell me that this power is still at work. Eclipses can be figured thousands of years ahead, far more accurately than any man-made chronometer can register. The past proves this. Call the power God, or any other name—I know there is a supreme power. Since great good comes from the exercise of this power that makes universal life possible, I know it is a good power, for which "God" is by all earthly reason the best name. Theorists and doubters may tell me with all emphasis that there is no God: I know better. And, I am willing to put my faith, and all that I am and have, in the power that gives me my life, and the lives of those I hold most dear. I may believe as they please—I do the same.

JAMES A. SUTHERLAND & REV. CASSIUS E. WAKEFIELD REV. W. W. SHANNON Feeling the need for more aggressive Bible teaching and Bible evangelism throughout the nation, officials of the Moody Bible Institute, of Chicago have added four outstanding evangelists and Bible conference conductors to the extension department staff. Officers and staff members have been made by the Rev. James M. Gray, D. D., president of the Moody Institute and an outstanding Bible authority. The Rev. Charles R. Seafe, D. D., a former student at Moody and for nearly thirty years a pastor in Presbyterian churches in Spokane, Wash.; Tyrone, Penn, and Detroit, Mich., is a teacher of unusual ability and experience. He is one of the organizers of the Bible League of Washington and Idaho. The Rev. James A. Sutherland, the second new addition to the extension department staff, recently resigned as pastor of the West End Baptist Church of Birmingham, Ala., that he might enlist under the Moody banner. A graduate of the University of California and the Southern Baptist Sem- linary, Dr. Sutherland is an evangelist preacher and Bible teacher of national renown. He also is a former Moody student. A University of Michigan graduate, the Rev. Cassius E. Wakefield, D. D., has served as pastor of several far western Methodist churches, where he won fame as a promotor of Bible classes and as a Bible teacher. He also was managing director of the Flower Hospital of Toledo, Ohio, where he conducted Bible classes in the nurses' training school there. Dr. Wakefield was actively identified with many religious enterprises in Detroit, and was founder and first president of a mission in that city. The Rev. V. W. Shannon, the fourth new appointee, formerly was mayor of Berwick, Penn, but, following his term of office, entered Moody Institute and later became identified with missionary work. He engaged in Y. M. C. A. war work, and after the armistice, was field secretary of the Christian Laymen's committee of Pittsburgh. Dr. Shannon has had considerable experience in Bible conference work and evangelical campaigns. Do WOMEN? Admire YOU USE PYRAMID HAIR BEAUTIFIERS! PYRAMID PRODUCTS & PITTSBURGH, PA. DON'T BE FOOLED!

GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY. A Captured Growing Hard-Backed Gut by 12 Million Bills a Year! This captive gourd was growing hard by the end of the 700-year-old. It was a valuable item that was sold in Paris. GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST Modern youth may not practice formal religion as keenly as his grandparents did, states Dr. James M. Gray, president of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, but "the is more universally interested in education and in studying religion in a sincere effort to learn its personal value to him." The jazz picture of modern youth is badly out of focus, and the proof for it is that interest in bible study and religion is actually on the increase among the rising generation, especially in the cities. There is also no such thing as a "bible belt" in America, say religious leaders and publishers of bibles 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 non-sectarian organization which encourages parents to gather their children around them in the home for religious instruction or prayer," says John Meredith, Chicago, secretary of the league which now is backed by many well-known business men throughout the United States. "Almost 17 million bibles and tens of thousands of bible-study courses were sold in the United States last year," states G. E. Bogart, commissioner of the Directive, has been gathered the business 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 newly created this year. The 1928 sales of bible-study courses run into several thousand sources, the majority in the cities and towns." Sunday SchoolLesson Nehemiah's work had been very successful. His special object was to rebuild the walls, that there might be that much more protection against the enemy that was always trying to impede the spiritual progress of this people who followed after Jehovah. Now that there was reasonable assurance of safety, their leaders could turn their attention to spiritual things which were vital in the life of the people. The people who were to be beholden to Jehovah and Ezra are in perfect accord regarding the basic need for spiritual life. The same Law of God, that was the only adequate guide in the past, had to be again followed if right living was to be maintained and the favor of God continued. Ezra, the scribe, does not appear in the history for about twelve years. Possibly he returned to Babylon for a period. He is a firm believer in obeying the commands of the Father. But those requirements must be first known to be followed, and the one place to obtain such teachings was the Holy Writ, which expressed His will. A revival in reading the Law was proposed and the people were summoned to assemble for that purpose in one of the open places of Jerusalem. For the first time we have record of a pulpit. The speaker was to be seen, and then he could be heard to better advantage. There was a supporting group of leaders, as they stood with Ezra in the execution of his important office (Neh. 8:4, 7). It was not a sixty minute service that day, but from early morning until high noon. The reader was greatly helped by the evident attitude of the people. The record is the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. They indicated their regard for the Book standing up as a scribe before his reading. We do well to treat him as entirely in every way that we do any other book. Following the general ascription of praise there was unanimous and repeated "Amen" that arose from the people. Further posture of most reverential worship was assumed by the appreciative audience. These readers uttered the words "distinctly" and "gave the sense." There is a fine opportunity for just such action and interpretation whenever the Bible is read in public. Great preparation should be made by minister, Sunday School superintendent or any who have the privilege of reading the Bible to others. Too often this is done with indistinctness and with scarcely a glance at the audience which should SOULS FOR SALE by RUPERT HUGHES ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY ```markdown ``` Seventh Instalment Seventh Instalment What Happened Before Remember Steeddon comes West to avoid preying the result of an unfortunate love affair to her father.

Ewood Farnaby and his wife, the married murderer of Dr. Brecherich, gives her bad cough an excuse to get to Arizona and from there writes home letters, who wholly loves her. Later she writes again to say that her "hasband" has died in the desert. She takes a job as a domestic help and fails to prevent her becoming a mother. In Arizona she meets Hobly, a leading man in a motion picture company, and through him gets the opportunity to play a part in a desert drama. With the company she works with, Leva Lemaire, an extra woman. After her accident, Mem becomes friendly with Mia Dack, a poor woman of Palm Seymour, who makes an interest in her bright little son. Terry Dack, who has a great gift of ministry. Inspired by a letter from Lew, Mem makes a magazine to take a job in a film laboratory. She gets a job in a film laboratory, but her home town talks of the evils of the movies and says the stars are forced to sell their souls. Mem then learns her mother in coming to visit her. Mem is worried about her finances. Now Go On With the Story Well, she would sell what God had made of her for what man might make of her. At the studio, the had met the artist, Arthur Tirurie. It was he who said to this one or that one. "Here is a part; play it, and the company will give you so much a week." He was the St. Peter of the movie heaven, empowered to admit or to deny. He was the man for her to seek. He had seemed a decent enough man, and he had looked at Mem without insolence. But you can never tell. **Mem studied herself a long while in the mirror, since her eyes and her smile must be her chief wardrobe, her siren equipment. She practiced such expressions as she supposed to represent invitation. They were silly and they made her rejoice.** **She reached Tirrey's office and sound him idly wrapping stories with his assistant. He spoke to her courteously, motioned her into his office, closed the door, and took his own place behind his desk. The telephone rang. He called into it: "Sorry, Miss Wate; that part has been filled. The company couldn't make your salary. I bowed you to take the cut, but you wouldn't. Times are hard and you better listen to reason. Sorry, Good-bye!" This was a discouraging background for Mem's siren scenario, as she determined to carry out her theory and, in all self-loathing, a adjusted herself in her big chair to whist she imagined was a Cleopatra sinuosity. She thought of her best lines; secretly twitched up her skirts and thrust her ankles with her hands. She tursed upon Mr. Tirrey her most glamishing eyes, and tried to pour enticement into them as in-to-balls of fire. She pursed her lips and set them full. She widened her breast with deep sighs. Tirrey seemed to recognize that she was deploying herself. He grew a little uneasy. But he was as polite to Mem as if she had been Robina Teele. "What can I do for you?" "I want a chance to act." "What experience have you had?" he asked. Men was suddenly confronted with the fact that all actors must offer themselves for sale—not the pretty women only, but the old men, too, and the character women. "Actors are much abused for talking of themselves." Few of them do when business is not involved, then they must discuss the goods they are trying to sell. Shoe merchants talk shoes; railroad presidents, railroads; politicians, politics; clergymen, salvation. Each salesman must recommend his own stock and talk it up. So Mem had to grope for experience and dress her window with it. And she had had so little she tied a little, as one does who tries to sell anything: "I was with the company that Tom Holby and Robina Teele played in. I took the part of an Arabian women. Mr. Folger, the director — cr-praised my — er — work." "Well, he knows," said Tirrey, "but he has not with this company, you know. Have we your name and address and a photograph outside in our files?" "Well, if you'll give them to Mr. Dobbs, with your height, weight, color of eyes and hair, and experience, we'll let you know when anything occurs. I'll introduce you to Mr. Dobbs and he—" He moved toward the door to escape from the cruelty of his office but the cruelty of his office "I'll get the price. I'll do anything you say. You can't refuse me." SOULS by RUPERT HU ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY seize his arm in a fierce clutch. She tried to play the vampire as she had seen the part enacted on the screen by various slitty toyes. She drew her victim close to her, pressed tight against him, and poured upward into his eyes all the venom of an amorous basilisk. "I'll pay the Price! I know what it costs to succeed, and I'm willing to pay. I'll do anything you say, be anything to you. You can't refuse me!" She could hardly believe her own ears hearing her own voice, though with pride in the act she "I'll pay the price. I'll do anything was doing lifted her from the disgust for the role. He looked at her without surprise, without horror, without even amusement, but—also without a hint of surrender. His only mood was one of jaced pity. "You poor child, who's been filling your head with that stuff! Are you really trying to ramp me! The crass word winger angered her! 'I'm trying to force my way to my career, and I don't care what it costs.' Triptyx sarcastic smile fades." "Sit down a minute and listen to me. A little common sense ought to have told you that what you've been told is all rot. Suppose I were willing to give a job to every pretty girl who tried to bribe me with love. Do you know how many women I see a day—a hundred and fifty on some days; that's nearly a thousand a week. And if you won me over you'd still have to please the director and the managers and the author to see public. How long would you company keep going if we elected our actresses according to their immorality? "Forget this old rot about 'paying the Price.' Tell Mr. Dobbs your pedigree and we'll give you the first chance we get, and no imitation tee of commissioners! "A little bit of all right, e2! You're a nice child, and pretty, and you'll get along." He lifted her from her chair and put his arm around her as a comrade, and slapped her shoulder blades in an accolade of good fellowship. She broke under the strain and began to cry. She dropped back into her chair and sobbed. It was good to be punished and rebuked into common decency by the way of common sense. It chanced that the president of the company was returning to his office from a visit to one of the stages. This was the man whose name was familiar about the world. Every film from his factory was labeled: "Bermond presents—" "Copyright by the Bermond Company"; "This is a Bermond picture." The slogan of the company was, "This is a Bermond year." When Mr. Bermond heard Mem crying, his heart hurt him. He did not like scandal, disorder, confusion, or grief on his lot. He went to Mem and tried to hand down her courted face and forced her to look at him. Seen through the cascades of her tears she was strikingly attractive, appealing. "Sarah Bermhardt failed in her first play, you know, and you may be a second Sarah some day," he said. "Just you wait." Mem's eyes were filling with rainbows. A bystander drew Bermond aside. It was Claymore, a dramatist who had had a few successes before he established himself in the moving pictures as a director. "That girl has the teacup said to Bermond. "That woman you've given me for my next picture is awful. Let me take this kid and give her a real test. She might have just what we want." "Sure! Flae! Go to it!" said Bermond, and hastened to Mem with the good news that Mr. Claymore the great Mr. Claymore THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page was going to give her a chance * * * * The next morning found Mem at the studio betines, borrowing mascaro and advice from Miss Calder. Claymore was waiting for her when she came from the women's dressing rooms. She was daubed, smeared, lined, powdered, rouged, mascaroed, and generally calcimined for duty. Her heart was beating in alternate throbs of fear and frenzy. Her feet were at the brink of the Rubicon. Claymore had provided a camera ing you say. You can't refuse me." man, a few men to handle the electric lights, a property man, and even a pair of musicians—a violinist and the treader of a wheezy little portable melodeon. Claymore marched her into the scene and gave her a little of what he called footwork. "Go back to that door and come forward to this spot. Shake hands with—or with your lover—er—Well, let me see. That’s too simple. Let me get down to business. You just go just to instance, you’ve been—er—betrayed and your child has died and you’ve been accused of murdering it and you’re now being called before the judge and the jury. Do you get me? You’re coming into a courtroom under a charge of crime; you feel your shame, but you’re innocent of the charge, you’re overwhelmed with guilt for you; you’re killed in the war, say—and you don’t much care whether you live or die; so you’re in despair, yet defiant. That’s a triple layer of emotion for you and I don’t suppose you can get much of it over, but—just try to give the atmosphere of it. Now back to the door. Walk through it once.” Claymore was as much embarrassed as Mem, for his invention was not in its best working order so early in the morning. He felt as silly as a man badgered by a peevish child to tell a story. But his trite plot stirred Mem amazingly. He could not know that he close his random knits had come home to and flung in flurry back from the forward-looking artist to the lorn fugitive who had stumbled into California laden with disgrace. She was all atremble and her eyes darted, her fingers twitched. Claymore marveled at her instantaneous response to his suggestion. There were born artists who shivered on the least breath of inspiration and suggestion. His first impression of Mem was that he had found a genius, and he fought against the obstacles he encountered later with the zest of a man digging toward known gold. In a kind of stupor Mem obeyed his commands like the trained confederate of a hypnotist. She went to the door, came in reluctant, shamefast, doomed. She advanced slowly till she reached the edge of the rug he had indicated, then halted, and with a fierce effort hoisted her head in defiance and braved the lightning of the judge. She heard Claymore call to hers "That's finel! Now we'll take it!" She started back, but was checked by the camera man's "Wait, please!" He ran forward and shouted directions on all sides for lights. "Hit those spots! Throw the ash can on her. Bring up that Kleigel. Put a diffuser on that Winfield. What's the matter with the second spot? Your carbons are flickering. Mike! Mike!

The Care of Blonde Hair Have you ever realized how many different kinds of hair there are—and that all need different care? Basically, of course, the care of all hair is the same. The proper care is health care, and the health of the hair depends largely upon the general health of the body. It requires good circulation—which means massage and brushing. And it requires cleanliness—which means proper shampooing and more brushing. Heads of different colors need different types of shampoos and rinses. Blonde hair, especially must be carefully washed and rinsed to preserve its natural color and rinsed. Of all hair, I think naturally blonde hair can be the loveliest. Whether it is a pale, silver yellow or tawny gold, or a soft, ash blonde, fair hair has about it something rare and lovely which sets it apart from the browns, reds and blacks of the dark-haired wooe and makes us think of fair tales and princesses. Ready golden hair is something to live up to, because it is the rarest of all. Children often wear it, often too, it darkens, they grow older. The golden-haired woman who stays golden-haired until she is gray or hair, usually takes wise care of her. Here are some of the rules she follows, in company with all her houndie-haired sisters: Whole Nation Joins O Backed by Citize PLAYING HOUSE Children's health is engaging the federal government's attention in a real way.

Instead she shampoo with a light, liquid shampoo. You may make one at home by dissolving a cake of pure Castle soap, sliced fine, in a quart of boiling water. Let it simmer until the soap is thoroughly dissolved, then put the jelly in a jar and use a little for each shampoo. If the blonde-haired girl's scalp is dry and she needs a pomade or tonic to use as a massage, she uses a pure white cream, or a little mineral or castor oil mixed with cologne water. To keep her hair light and fluffy she may use occasionally a teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in the liquid shampoo; or at the end of the shampoo, a rinse made by mixing one teaspoonful of salts of tartar and two teaspoonfuls of strained lemon juice with three pints of water. Camomile tea also makes a good rinse, especially for the Tittian blonde. To make it, use ten cents worth of the tea boiled in a pint of water.

According to the household research bureau of Pecoria, Ill, this cleanliness is one of the best aids to infection resistance. Children, says the bureau conducted by the makers of ABC washers, best keep in continued good health if clothing always in clean, germ-free garments. "Harmful bacteria multiply with terrible rapidity in soiled clothing. Keeping clothes clean is easy for the efficient mother who quickly swishes them clean and sweet in a Spinner. Drying them is even easier in the Spinner's water-extractor that displaces the dirt wringer." For more than ever, child health is to be conserved and increased, for the nation's continued advancement. THE COLOSSI OF MEMNON AT THEBES THE COLOSSI OF MEMNON AT THEBES Photo shows the famous, Colossi of Memnon at Thebes, Egypt. These colossal landmarks on the west bank of the Nile have suffered severely at the hands of time, but they still hold their attraction because of the innumerable associations which cling to them. The figures are carved out of pebbly sandstone conglomerate of a yellow-brown hue. Both figures represent Amenophis III, and they stood originally before the mortuary temple erected by that ancient monarch. They both stand 64 feet in height, including the 13 foot pedestal on which they rest. Memnon, in ancient Greek legend, helped the Trojans against the Greeks after Hecter's death; he killed Nestor's son, Antilochus, but was himself killed by Achilles. Later writers represent him as an Ethiopian or a Persian. The Greeks were the name of Memnon to a colossal statue at Thebes in Egypt, which was really that of a king Amenophis; it gave forth a musical sound at dawn. Ptolemy Lathyrus bested. Thebes for over two years, and gave it its death-blow, and the city was then degraded from "the metropolis," and in Strabo's time it was merely a conglomerate of villages. At the present day the glory of Thebes consists in its acridine temples. Of these the best known are the El Kurna, the Rameseum and Medinet-Abu Temples, founded by Seti I, Rameses II., and Rameses III. respectively. To really understand the beauty of these famous Greek works of art one must have a thorough knowledge of Greek mythology for only in that way can the legends that are told about them be appreciated. (Herbert Photos, New York, N. Y.) Hints Home Did you know that fruits and tomatoes may be canned by the water-bath method, but all non-acid vegetables should be processed under steam pressure at a temperature higher than 212 degrees Fahrenheit, to make sure that all dangerous organisms or bacteria are destroyed. Also, canning is more uniformly successful when food is packed into jars or cans while boiling hot. But this method the material at the center of the can reaches the necessary high temperature in order to canning much more quickly than when packed cold or shortened. Shortening the time of processing generally gives better texture, flavor and appearance in the finished product.

Line candy pan with cocoonant, candied cherries, meat nuts, cut in small pieces. Add 1 tbl. lemon juice to the candy just before removing from stove, and pour over the nuts and fruits. When cold, cut in squares. Use for Strainer Lid When cooking a food that scorches easily, try placing it in a strainer lid which will hold it off the bottom of the kettle and still permit the food to boil naturally. Reviving Velvet With a soft brush dust off the velvet, velveten or plush to be renewed. Then sponge with a weak solution of borax or benzine. If badly soiled, immerse in benzine and shake until dry. Prevents Rings when Cleaning If you will add a little salt to benzine or gasoline used for cleaning fabrics, this will prevent rings or the formation of circles. A Laundry Hint When washing silk handkerchiefs the best results are obtained by using salt water and ironing the handkerchiefs while still wet. MEMNON AT. THEBES Colossi of Memnon at Thebes, Egypt.

It took Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson until Saturday to get a vote when he won out with "hands down", so to speak, more than 700 to more than 200. It is charged that he employed New York gunmen to protect him from injury, besides securing the assistance of Atlantic City N. J., police. Attorney Robert of New Jersey, and his brother from West Virginia, together with Hon. Perry Browning from Washington, fought with the doughy Washington town until the victory was won. Those who know say no such session with the bitter feeling displayed to such an extent has been known in the history of the Order. Still, if curses mean anything the disagreeing ones will go to the meeting next year and make the same fight again.

BOWLER PRESIDENT NEW BUILDING RICHMOND, VA. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Now that the S. S. Bremen, German-built passenger liner, has broken all trans-Atlantic records by nine hours, another record breaker has been completed in Germany. This record breaker is something new in flying machines. This flying machine is so big that on an official inspection trip, it took visitors just three hours to see every part of the Queen of the Air. The photograph that is presented here is that of the world's largest hydroplane, The Dornier Superwal Do "X," built to carry 100 passengers and a crew of 12 officers and men. The monster flying ship has three decks and is driven by 12 Siemens-Jupiter motors, with a combined h.p. of 6200. It is expected that the ship will attain a speed of more than 250 kilometers an hour. With such remarkable progress being made in the field of aviation it will be but a matter of a few years before giant air liners will be competing with equally gigantic ocean liners for the commerce of the world.—(Herbert Studios,) W.

THE BROKEN PINION By Hezekiah Butterworth (1839-1905) I walked in the woodland meadows, Where sweet the thrushes sing, And found on a bed of mosses A bird with a broken wing. I healed its wing, and each morning It sang its old sweet strain, But the bird with the broken pinion Never soared as high again. I found a young life broken By sin's seductive art, And touched with a Christ-like pity I took him to my heart; He lived with a nobler purpose, And struggled not in vain. But the life that sin had stricken Never soared as high again. But the bird with a broken pinion Kept another from the snare, And the life that sin had stricken Raised another from despair; Each loss has its own compensation, There's healing for each pain. But the bird with the broken pinion Never soared as high again. 819 N. Second Street—Room and board for two school girls in private family. Apply by card or in person, 4 P. M.

He drew an illustration of the lure of gold as an ideal. Ideals are the outgrowth of the place of one's abode. The condition of that abode and the atmosphere, which surrounds it. He drew other illustrations and made practical applications thereto. Lured On Whatever his condition, whether to be noble or evil, he is lured on. Man has divided mankind into three classes: 1. Without ideals; negatively good individuals, unwilling to put forward any special effort to improve their lot. They do not care what has been or may be. In the midst of care, what has been or may be does not concern them. In the midst of that condition, they will live and die. Gööd has no particular attraction for them. You do not belong to this class of persons. Intermittent Type Class 2 are those of intermittent ideals. The individual looks out to the accomplishment of his ideal. He seems able to cast off the evils of yesterday. They call him to the day of high attainment. He pictures his condition. He specified the requirements. Ideals come in thick and fast and seek a lodgment. When it is over, the individual drops to the lower level. He will he will find his greatest fault. Will Relax Before the task is done his ideals shine and before they have been realized he will relax. Class 3 consists of those of the constant ideal, that have the power of a magnet for iron. An ideal is like a magnet, constant and inducing the soul into the real life you are living and spreading in the community. This class is making possible all ventures. The National Ideal is making this a fact. Human flesh is weak and often fails to reach the point being sought. It makes even the common paths of life, sublime.

LANDING ON WATER FOR FIRST TIME Just to prove the feasibility of transferring passengers from ocean liners to aircraft, the first test of its kind ever made was conducted successfully at Los Angeles when the blimp "Volunteer" alighted alongside the S.S. City of Honolulu, took on passengers, and soared away. The blimp was equipped with pontoons to permit landing on the water. The progress that is being made in aviation is truly remarkable. Soon the 100-passenger airplane will leave Germany on its first trans-Atlantic flight. Here in our country, railroads are adopting airplanes to supplement their own carrier lines, thereby speeding up travel. (Herbert, Photos, N.Y.) Other Discussion Supreme Officers son, T. B.
