THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA SEP21 1929 STATE LIBRARY NO ELK SPLIT HERE Richmond Elks Will Support Grand Lodge A Misleading Report Is Being Circulated. The National Baptist Convention President L. K. Williams Is Re-elected. Chicago In 1930. VOLUME XLVI NO. 45 NO Richm A The Presider Imperia OR The following report appeared in many colored newspapers: Washington, D. C., Sept. 13.—Disruption of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks may follow as an aftermath of the annual convention held in Atlantic City. A revolt of the lodges against the rule of J. Finley Wilson, the grand exalted ruler, is planned. It will be led by Williams Lodge of Richmond, and will be started in the State of Virginia and North Carolina. Additions to the revolting lodges are expected to be made by lodges in Chicago, New York, Baltimore and other cities where there is dissatisfaction with Wilson's perpetuation in office. The plan is for the revolting lodges not to pay the annual taxes to the grand lodge. Suspension of the lodges failing to pay is expected. The lodges will then continue independent of the grand lodge in their respective state associations, and a new grand lodge may be formed. If such a procedure is followed, long litigation will result. The treasury of the grand lodge is very nearly empty, and the grand lodge is not in a favorable position to bring in investigation proceedings in several states, which it would have to do. Without payment of the grand lodge tax, the grand lodge would not be able to resist the sitting up of a new grand lodge and transact its business. Besides lodges in several cities are incorporated and own property and prevention of the use of the name of the order by court injunction would be difficult. The Atlantic City convention left bittersweet and dissatisfaction. Some members of the order were disgusted with election tactics. Other members are sore because of their failure to receive pay for committee services after being assured that their names were on the pay roll. Still others are displeased with the election results—the election of Wilson for an eighth term. Then there is dissatisfaction over the increase of the annual tax from 60 cents to $1. James C. Martin, former grand treasurer, was not permitted to read his annual report. Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser, does not believe, however, that such a revolt can succeed. "Let them start it," was his challenge when he was informed that such a movement was contemplated. "Just so they do not call themselves Elks, they can be reindeer, foxes, sheep or anything else they want to be; but they cannot be Elks. "I am not surprised at Williams Lodge. It had been sore for a long time, but I do not think they will find anybody else with them. All of New York is lined up behind Henry S. Warner, who was elected grand treasurer in place of Martin Cusper Holsfein has a fight on his hands in Monarch Lodge. If he is not careful, he will be discredited and disowned in his own lodge if he does not get himself into more serious trouble. "No, the courts will not view with good grace any movement of that kind. It will die an abortive death. "The grand exalted ruler is receiving thousands of letters and telegrams congratulating him upon his victory and assuring him of hearty co-operation." Meeting Attorney James T. Carter, ex-Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Elks and one of the leading fighters at the meeting in Atlantic City, N. J., being a member of Williams Lodge of this city, he said he knew nothing about the report other than what he had seen in the newspapers. Mr. John B. Neblett, one of the most prominent members of Williams Lodge, stated that he had attended the lodge Thursday night, 12th inst., and nothing of the kind had come before the lodge. Capital City Lodge here is not a party to the development. It would seem then that the whole matter was mere "newspaper talk." The large vote by which Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson was re-elected precludes the idea of any such position as that described. M. Alphonso Norrell did not seem to think that any headway could be made against the present regime, in view of the overwhelming majority shown by the election of Wilson. DR. GAINES INJURED Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. D., pastor of Hood Temple, A. M. E. Zion Church, was seriously injured in an automobile collision, Friday afternoon, September 13th, when a Ford car in which he was riding was run into by a car from Gray Rock, Silver Springs, Maryland. Rev. Dr Gaines' left arm was broken above the elbow. Dr. Motea Lewis is attending him and his present condition is satisfactory. A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of the driver of the Maryland car. In the car with Rev. Dr. Gaines were Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of Philadelphia, and George and Andrew Christian. George Christian, grandson of Rev. Gaines, was driving his car. The collision took place at Seventh and Leigh Streets. James Alexander was struck by a truck Sunday, September 8th, at Parkwood Avenue and Temple Street. The truck was going south on Temple Street, it being driven by Sam White. The boy was standing on the running board of the truck when it struck a Ford car driven by Robert Johnson, and then it ran into a pole on the southeast corner. The boy was picked up and carried to St. Philips Hospital, where he died September 8th. The boy, James Alexander, was bleeding from the head when he was carried there. GEORGIA SOLONS LET STREET CAR BILL SUFFOCATE Effort to Increase State's Segregation Burden Dies Without Reaching Atlanta, Ga., Sep. 17.—Interracial leaders in Georgia are gratified at the complete and ignominious failure of a feeble effort made by a member of the recent legislature to add to the state's burden of segregation laws. The bill, which was introduced by a representative from one of the rural counties, provided that the races must be separated in street cars and busses by an actual partition instead of by an intangible and shifting line, as at present, or else must be carried in separate conveyances. Apparently nobody took the measure seriously and it died so quietly that very few knew what became of it. Even the few members of the committee on railroads who voted to report it favorably, stated at the same time that if it ever came to a vote in the house they would oppose it. As a matter of fact, however, it never reached the floor of the legislature for discussion or vote, nor was it even placed on the calendar for consideration. Evidently the legislature felt that enough, even of segregation, was "quite a plenty." FULTON NOTES POLITON NOTES Our pastor, Rev. C. A. Cobbs, delivered the sermon at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday. The Mt. Herman Baptist Church, who has bought the new Baptist plant on Clay Street, had a joyful time at their communion last Sunday. The prayer service was conducted by Deacon L. Smith, assisted by Rev. C. B. Jefferson. Rev. Lipscomb is a fine young man, and needs our help, and we should give it to him, numerically and financially. Rev. S. L. Bush is getting along nicely. Come and help Shiloh.

(Chicago Defender Press Service) Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 13.—The 49th annual session of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., was called to order here last Wednesday by Dr. L. K. Williams, of Chicago, president of the convention. Thousands of delegates and visitors were in the city from September 4th to 9th, the five session days of the convention. The chorus sang the opening selection with Prof. Edward Boatner directing. Dr. Williams then turned the meeting over to Rev. D. A. Holmes to conduct the welcome program. The first speaker was Governor Henry S. Canfield, who welcomed the convention in the name of Missouri. Instead of sending a letter of regret or a proxy, Governor Canfield gave a brilliant address, in which he paid tribute to our education, our progress in education, politics and business. Rev. Holmes, in presenting the governor, stated he was the instigator of the appointment and placing of our clerks in the police stations of Kansas City and the promotion of our policemen to the rank of sergeants. The governor stated he caused schools to be provided for our children in districts where they never before existed, because all children should have an equal chance in life. Demands Rights Mayor Albert I. Beach welcomed the convention in the name of Kansas City, paying a high tribute to the convention for its achievements. The mayor said, "I am a Baptist, the same as Governor Canfield, and I feel proud of the achievements of the National Baptist Convention, Inc." Rev. C. A. Washington, of the Strangers' Rest Baptist Church, of this city, spoke on behalf of the ministers of Greater Kansas City. T. B. Watkins spoke for the business men of the city. Rev. T. J. Goodall, of Philadelphia, gave the response address, in which he demanded all the rights for his people guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Governor Canfield and Mayor Beach both listened to the straight from the shoulder demand of Rev. Goodall. One of the greatest educational and religious meetings in the history of this city was held in the convention hall, scene of the 1928 Republican national convention, when Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University and a nationally known Baptist minister, gave a masterful address on education. The hall was packed to overflowing to hear Dr. Johnson and George Garner, of Chicago and London, England, internationally known tenor. The audience heard Dr. Johnson say: "I love my race, but the most dangerous thing in the world is knowledge without love, and the most pathetic thing is love without knowl- Continued on page 4 MR. LESLIE WOODSON DIES OF INJURIES. Mr. Leslie Woodson, 1015 Hickory Street, leader of the Sixth Mt. Zion choir, during the pastorate of the late Rev. John Jasper, met with a serious accident Wednesday, September 11th. He was knocked down at Chamberlayne Avenue and Baker Street by motorcycle delivery truck of Thalhimer Bros. His leg was broken, shoulder dislocated, two ribs broken and his skull probably fractured. He died in St. Philips Hospital Thursday the 19th DIED IN JAIL Preston Jackson, whose residence is on Cedar Street, between James and Baker Sts., died suddenly in the city jail last Wednesday morning. He went to the toilet and had a convulsion, there dying almost immediately. His remains were turned over to Randolph Bros. William E. Brown, who has been ailing for several years, died Friday, September 13th, about 9:30 P. M. at St. Philips Hospital, where he had been taken for treatment. The end came peacefully. His remains were turned over to Director A. D. Price, Jr., who carried them to his sister's residence at 320 West Leigh Street, from which place the funeral took place Monday at 3:30 P. M., with Rev. S. W. Turner officiating. The divine preached an appropriate sermon relating incidents in the life of the deceased. His sister, Birdel, wife of Mr. Joseph Thompson, was the chief mourner. Undertaker Frank H. Hayes is a patient at Richmond hospital, suffering with an injured knee. Mrs. Miles C. Debbress has returned to the city after an extended trip North. Miss Lucy B. Chiles has been in the city this week visiting her parents, Colonel and Mrs. John R. Chiles. She returned to Washington last Thursday. Rev. G. C. Coleman, D. D., pastor of North Oakland Baptist Church, president, California Baptist State Convention, called on us September 12th, on his way home from Norfolk, where he had been attending the sessions of the National Baptist Convention. REV. DR. WHITE HERE Rev. Dr. T. H. White, of Newark, N. J., called on us this week. He was en route to his field of labor in Newark, N.

GOING TO WORK 3 KINGSTON, CALIFA: Not unlike a gargantuan airplane engine installation is this 3,000 h. p. oil burning locomotive diesel. After being installed and economy recorded in a 300 mile run over the Canadian National Railway between Montreal and Toronto. It used $18,000 worth of oil and showed speed capabilities of 100 m. p. h. though its average speed was 75 m. p. h. It spends up to a mile a minute in two minutes and uses enough fuel to make a net running run of 1,000 miles. Present day steam locomotives are 30,000 worth of coal for each mile and can maintain a steady average of around 30 m. p. h. Railway officials regard the performance of this new oil burning diesel to impress the economist of railroad electrification. Here's Howe BY E.W. HOWE "The Sage of Potato Hill" THE SAME OLD WORLD—A WONDERFUL STORY OF PROGRESS—RURAL EXTRAVAGANCE VOLTAIRE, A MASTER VIRTUE Frequently a reader encounters these two words: "Voltaire said." I always read what follows; sometimes I do not understand it, occasionally I disagree, but always I recognize a master mind and hand. Some will not read him; they heard he had a mean and foolish little man. On the contrary, he was so unusual that he is still encouraging or distressing his fellow man. If you read Napoleon you soon note he had a good deal of respect for Voltaire. You have undeniably heard of Frederick the Great, who had the advantage of being a king to start with. Voltaire was a much smarter man; he has had far greater influence on the world. In spite of faults inevitable and natural in any human machine, Voltaire came nearer having intelligence than any other living organism. I give him no credit; he simply had it. Instead of being born a pitiful fool, he was born with the world's greatest mind. Some of the famous orophets were weaklings compared to him; Mahomet's personal history convicts him frequently of being an ass—indeed, I know of no great mystic among rulers who had a really good mind.

Voltaire won his fame as fairly as has evolution; every schola has added him up, and given him great credit. This long introduction to a quotation from Voltaire I just encountered in reading: "All men are equal; but it is not birth but virtue which makes them so." In the gross sentimentalism of our conversation and reading the declaration that we are all equal is a favorite; but remember that a man really able to think says you are only equal to another if you have his virtues. And virtue is a simple word; it means a high average in the sort of conduct the world has decided is good. The dictionary gives some pages to the word virtue, but it all condenses into this; a high average in fairness, honesty, industry, temperance, usefulness in small or great ways, and thrift in health and business. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. And the lowliest of us may profit from the practice of virtue. I have received many letters in a single delivery of mail, and not one of real interest; but I received one today that caused me to take notice. "The heroes of human life," said the writer, "do not consist in spectacular circumstances; in great deeds, or in the taking of cities, but in the staying powers we have for the monotony of little things that make up the long hard sage of living and behaving creditably." This, it seems to me, is wise, had I encountered it in Emerson or Vristole, I should have been able no more than I was by this utterance of one of the plain people of SEE THE 4-PIECE BUFFET SET.

Those that love and do not marry are all wrong. Love your neighbor as yourself is all right in the Bible, but all wrong outside of that good Book, according to the world's way of living. Astronomers and those learned in the firmament doubt the existence of a God as portrayed in the Holy Bible, while conceding that some great central power controls the consellation. The immensity of space and the endless existence of time are too much for mortal intellects to grasp, much less understand. Certain it is that the truths of the Scriptures afford a basis for our belief in a great divine power. POLITICAL ADVICE We hope that all colored citizens, both male and female, who are qualified so to do will prepare to vote in November. In order to do this intelligently, disregard parties and proceed to be informed as to the standing, attitude and political opinions of each nominee. What we want to know is whether or not a candidate is standing "four-square" on the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Virginia, so far as they guarantee equal and exact justice to all citizens, regardless of race, color, religion or previous condition of servitude. In plain words, will the nominee of the two parties, both being Democrats, live up to their oaths of office? There are no two political parties in the field. It resolves itself into a contest of individuals as all of the candidates are Democrats, including the one on the Anti-Smith Independent Democratic ticket, who styles himself as a Republican. Let this rule apply to the local offices as well and vote for those, who you believe will make the best officials in the service of all of the people. This whole question has resolved itself into one where the citizens of color will have a "say-so" in the election of the two contending wings of the Democratic Party. Let us exercise that right. We do not tell you to vote for either the one side or the other just now. Inform yourselves as to the previous attitude of the candidates and vote your convictions. Those, who do not want your vote need not have it. They cannot complain if you exercise "horse sense" and support the Southerners, who have shown a kindly disposition towards the "brothers and sisters in black," who have always shown their appreciation for Southern white folks "to the manor born." Discriminating judgment will prove to be of great benefit to our future welfare in the grand old Commonwealth. Vote once, but let it be counted for your friends.

Politics Retards Education "I was born in Georgia when there was not a single high school that could prepare a Negro youth for a first class college or university. "Politics has retarded the education of our race. However interested we may be as individuals in politics, we must determine to stop politics at the door of our school houses. We cannot have an education that is soundly based on character unless our schools and colleges are freed from political yokes. "Better for us to remain in ignorance than to accept an education that would steep us in treachery and lying. "Now for the first time since Emancipation are we ready to develop first class colleges. For the first time we are to have a system of education that will give our children sound primary training. There are now 7,000,000 children in primary schools in the South, 400,000 in high schools and 19,000 in colleges. Need More Schools "We need more schools and students, and we must not let the authorities who can give us schools rest until every black child has a place in which to secure an education," stated Dr. Johnson. He paid high tribute to Julius Rosenwald, the noted Chicago merchant-anthilopter, for his aid in helping our children to secure an education in the South. The hall almost rocked with the applause as Dr. Johnson returned to his seat. Re-Elect Dr. Williams The official convention soloist, George Garner, was introduced by Judge William H. Harrison, of Chicago. The tenor not only captured the vast multitude of 10,000 persons in the hall, but thrilled his listeners beyond description with his magnificent voice. Mrs. Netta Paullyn Garner, pianist, recently returned to America from a sojourn in Europe, accompanied her artist husband on this occasion. Dr. L. K. Williams delivered his annual address last Wednesday and made several constructive recommendations. Rev. B. J. F. Westbrook, Indianapolis, delivered an address extolling Dr. Williams, which he made a motion to hear him by acclamation. Rev. H. B. Hawkins, of Chicago, arose to the question and caused much excitement among the delegates. The men who attempted to then revive Hawkins simply aided him in creating confusion to such an extent that when order was restored, which lasted throughout the election of other officers, there were very few delegates in the auditorium. Dr. Williams and all of the chief officers of the convention were re-elected. Rev. J. C. Austin, of Pilgrim Baptist Church, Chicago, was re-elected to the foreign missions board. He was not elected to the board in Illinois because of his absence and many thought he would not be elected chairman of the board because of the Illinois convention's action. Revs. J. C. Love, New Jersey; D. Welsh, Alabama; John H. Welsh, Tennessee; T. S. Harten, New York, and J. J. Olive, Illinois, were the presidents of the convention who presided over various sessions. Chicago Gets 1930 Meet Mrs. Edna Layten was re-elected president of the women's division of the convention for the 29th time. Mrs. Edna Strickland, Texas, and Mrs. I. C. Mapp, of Chicago, vicepresidents; Mrs. V. W. Broughton, of Memphis, Tenn., treasurer; Mrs. Mary Goins, of Missouri, assistant secretary, and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, secretary.

Automobil The newspaper is the great educator of the masses today. Where one reads a two dollar book, five thousand read the five cent daily. Since this is true, the editor should spend a good deal of time on his knees, it seems to me, with his mind fixed on the Giver of all good; none the less should the contributor for the newspaper wrestle in prayer; if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall in the ditch. I go to my newspaper every day for information—for counsel. Such of it as I don't like, I don't take. Since humanity is pretty much the same the world over, I assume that you do the same. I am interested in the legislative problem of reapportioning the states for the purpose of securing better representative government; I am not interested in the kind of hosiery worn by the king of Siam or the sultan of Turkey. Which leads to the thought: If our daily newspapers were shorn of much that is the merest rubbish, there would be less volume, but more that is useful to our people. The Sunday edition might be cut almost half! "O," some one says, "we are not all alike; some want to know about the king of Siam—the sultan of Turkey; they must have Sunday reading." I grant it. But our aim, it seems to me, should not be to kill time, but to store our minds with useful information. There would be a better world if there were no prize-fighters in it; there would be a more useful citizenry if men and women busied their minds with things calculated to make the world better. I'd rather study business, or even politics on Sunday, than possible championships in utterly useless occupations. Life is too short to waste valuable time in worthless things.

And according to an official of the Scholl Manufacturing Company president Dr. William M. Scholl of Chicago, the manufacturer of foot specialties, left Zeppelin for Friedrichshafen where he was met by airplane for a speedy tour of all Europe, the journey is actually cheaper than a similar tour by train and steamer would be.

American Country Hard-Dot list by 17 Million Bills a Year! GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST Modern youth may not practice formal religion as keenly as his grandparents did, states Dr. James M. Gray, president of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, but "he is more universally interested in education and in studying the sciences in a sincere and personal value to him." The increased interest in religious study with the bible as its center, is demonstrated by the constant growth of the "Family Altar League," a nonsectarian organization which encourages parents to gather their children around them in the home for religious instruction or prayer." says John Meredith, Chicago, director of the family Altar League, which is backed by many well-known business men throughout the United States. 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. "Almost 17 million bibles and tens of thousands of bible-study courses were sold in the United States last year," said G. E. Bogart, commissioner of the Direct Selling Federation. Chicago, who has been gathering the business statistics of the survey, "and 1029 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 grows it is growing more popular every day." "one bible house alone has seventy-five thousand representatives and distributing channels this year more than one-third of which will be actively serving the community." The 1922 sales of bible-study runs into several reached thousands of courses, the majority in the states and towns." Sunday School Lesson International Sunday School Lesson for September 29 REVIEW: SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EXILE AND RESTORAT N Golden Text Psalm 103:17 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. The review lesson is like clinching the nail. A careful stu- quarterly lesson will help to hold the facts in memory, and as you are putting the truths into practice in your life. Some 150 years in time are covered in the past twelve lessons. The gives the two subdivisions from the historical standpoint: Exile and Restoration. Those who are seeking to get all out of this course that is possible will read the entire books from which these lessons are taken, and they are Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah and Malachi. You should read at least the selected portions that were studied in connection with each lesson. Very little success comes without genuinely hard work. Since history is usually centered about the lives of individual leaders you can get much by giving special attention to the biography of the men whose books are named above. Then look up Esther as she is contemporary, though no lesson was given this quarter to her life. Also look up the secular history of that century and a half. You will observe the rise and fall of vast empires: Babylonia, Persia and Greece. The horizon of Israel was greatly broadened during the years of Exile. They began to realize that there were other nations that were playing a great part in the life of the world. They had been largely an agricultural nation, but the contacts in Babylon thrust them into the commercial activities that they have ever since maintained. Their cultural development was increased as they became students in the schools of other nations. A purpose from Jehovah's angle was to stamp out idolatry which in Palestine was polluting them physically and enervating them spiritually. They went back to Jerusalem to live according to the Law of God. To be sure there were lapses: there always are. They rebuilt the Temple and then protected it by placing a good wall around the city. The rolls of the Law were studied that they might follow the teachings both as they applied to sacrifices and to the manner of their daily living. individual relationship and responsibility unto God was understood. This is used personal conscience and no one could hide behind people's sacrifice. Each must live rightly and justly before both him and man.

Men's father reads a publicity story call- ing her "the prettiest girl in America" and sends a letter of protest to his wife, and laughs, and lays down a hand, and laughs, the director, makes an unusual investment in her. He is instructed with Men's father's essay, to take the face from the company. Now Go On With the Story He never said anything, however, that he might not have said before a crowd. He never tried to lash her hand or snatch a kiss or on an embrace. Mom was centrally set over waving her hand that would make someone feel that she unable to decide what she would do if he did the child. Her picture and its final retouch imminent on a Saturday afternoon. There was an evening's idle afternoon. Chagmore asked Mom to take a drive in his car, a long swirl for about the familiar. If the mom needed care, a needed care, Nonnoling told her this cave was important to her. Nonnoling was always talking her something. None of the calls to her was false, but she did not the calls and recalled the experience. Nobody had yet asked John her self-respect as an institution pardon or an initiation rite, but a weekly wagging upon her abilities, her intelligence, and her userfulness. She was paid in coin of the coin, e. Her price would rise and fall according to the general market for moving pictures and her specific value. Her emotions and her beauty were commodities, and Steeddon stock would be quoted on the Soul Exchange as the demand for it rose and fell, as the bidders for it increased or diminished. Claymore had been chaperoned by the company and his own reverence for discipline. But no one was outside his authority. Both were outside the dermond indulgence. And they as helpless together as another twain whom nothing restains or separates in the undertow of passion. They were two emotional people without a barrier. Among the countless things said about the hows and whys of women's surrenders one motive seems to have been too much ignored, though it must have exerted a vast influence as women go more and more into the world of freedom with only themselves for their guardians. Good sportsmanship, a hatred of smuggery, a contempt for too careful self-protection, a disgust for a holier-than-thou self-esteem—these are amiable attitudes of mind that make for popularity. To be a miser of one's graces, a hypochondriac coddler of one's virtues, is to be unloved and unovable. So many a man will gumble, be a bachelor, be a career, his health, his life, get drunk, steal, play, and play the fool rather than face the reproach that he is a mollycoddle, a Puritan, a prig, a Miss Nancy, a coward, a Parisease. And many a woman who would not yield for love or luxury must have consented for fear of seeming to be overproud, stingy, cold, prudish, disobeying, superhuman, unnormal, unsportsmanlike. She had been swept once beyond the moorings by a summer storm of devotion, to young Farnaby, her first love. Now she was to feel her anchors cut adrift by the gracious gesture of good fellowship with a colleague. The Ocean Drive stretched along DON RULEY "Sorry to interrupt you, folks, but I need your money." a forest of palms like huge coconuts clark against the gaudy west. The automobiles of every make were so many that they were almost one long automobile, or at least a chain on which they slid as black beads. Their lights were coming out now like early stars prickling a twint sky. For miles and miles the highway mounted and writted along the steeps of precipices, lugging the rocks to let pass car after car with hamps flashing in front of blurred passengers. In almost every place there was a lot of scrape a motor "Sorry to interrupt you. He was dressed drawn close to the cliffside in the dark, each car a wheeled solitude, a love boat at anchor in a stream of cars ignoring and ignored. There was a strange influence in this recurrent mystery. Everywhere lowers were hiding themselves in conspicuous concealment. Mem felt disgust at the first ice, amusement or contempt for the next life, tolerance for the next,—and Claymore did not speak of them or of anything else. He was too busy turning the wheel and gauging the little distances between the edge of the cliff and the cars that whizzed past. Hanway, by his side, his headlight rattled a black cove and found no motor in possession of the catary of night. And here, to Mem, Claymore in concealment, he felt the road against the wall of public and stopped short with a hand covered future. "Well," he grinned, "this is a dove. I'll rest a bit if you don't mind. Pretty well, chr?" From their cavern of gloom they looked across a fathomless ravine to a mountain on which the risen moon poured a silent Niagara. In the dozing radiance a creamy shaft of uncaused stood, a candle blown out in a desert cathedral. In a strange gentleness, and the cars that shot past threw no light into their retreat. There was a long, long silence that filled Mem with a terror she could not quite fail to enjoy. She could not tell whether she heard her own heartbeats or his, but excitement was athrob together in the little coach that had brought them so swiftly to this remote seclusion. Claymore was dumb so long that Mem had time to cease to be afraid to wish that he would get it said, so that she could know what her answer would be. She felt a baffling uncertainty of herself. She could not imagine what she might do or say. She had not had much experience of men, but enough to know that before long he would initiate the immemorial procedure that starts with an arm adventuring about a waist and a voyage after a kiss. She told herself that the only right and proper thing to do would be to resist, protest, forbid, and prevent at any cost the profanation of her sacred integrity. If necessary, she must fight, scratch, scream, escape, run away, appeal for help to any passer-by, or, as a last resort, leap over the cliff and die for honor's sake. But who was that She and who was that Herself that told each other so many things? Herself told She that Mr. Claymore could not be treated as an ordinary ruffian, an insolent, outrageous knave, a fiend. He had treated her with most delicate courtesy from the first, he had given her his admiration, his praise, his devotion, his mute but evident affection. If he loveo her and revealed his love she could hardly reward his patient chivalry with prompt ingratitude and violence and fear. That would make her the insulter, not him. She must be very gentle with him and ask him kindly to forgive THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page and not to spoil the pleasant friendship that she had prized. If Mr. Claymore should propose marriage, that would make his carresses acceptable—according to some canons, though not to all. But he could not marry her and she did not want to marry him. She did not want to marry anybody just now. She was a free woman in a free country. She was not free, however, from the witchery of this night, this dream, the vast yearning of this mountainous beauty. She was not free of the disaster of desire, the alks, but I need your money." hunger to be embraced and kissed and whispered to, the need to be kept warm in the cold loneliness of the world. Her thoughts spun giddily in her mind, all entangled with a skein of romantic threads. She was young and pretty and time was wasting her flowerly graces. Some one bloomed! While she debated with herself, as doubtless innumerable women have plights, Claymore's own mind was a chaos of equally ancient latitudes of a man's philosophy. At length he found the courage or the cruelty to slip his arm to Mem's waist and to draw her close to him. He was afraid more alarmed than deligenced to find that she really resisted at 43. He took her hands in his and whispered, "Your poor little hands are cold!" Then he kissed them with cold lips that he lifted at once to hers and found them warm and strangely like a rose against his mouth. He was as much amazed as if hers were the first lips he had ever kissed—as if he had just invented kissing. Then in a frenzy of wonder he closed her in his arms with all his power. He did not know that the wheel bruised her side, and neither did she. But she forgot to debate her city or to think of her soul. She thought only of the rapture of this communion, and her arms stole around his neck and she clenched him with all the power of her arms. Mem, swooning she knew not whither, was awakened from her mad rapture by a low voice across her shoulder. Sorry to interrupt you, folks, but I need your money!" She turned and found herself blinded by the glare from a motor halved at a little distance. Dazled as she was, she could see the gaunt hand that held before her a black pistol with a glint outlining its ugly muzzle. Claymore was sane enough to attempt to resistance, though he almost perished of chagrin. He endured the insolence of the masked stranger who stole the chain and a wallet and the leece silver. The blackguard held his clubbed pistol over Claymore's head a moment, then forcibly to strike, and dropped from the step with a last warning. "Sit pretty now and keep 'em up till I git goin' or I'll..." His car shot around the curve. Claymore brought down his aching arms. They were too much assumed of themselves to return to their late post about Mom's shoulders. A preverse remorse filled their souls with confusion; a remorse because of a wrong remorse, a disgust for an unaccepted temptation and for being so temptable. A woman never quite forgives a man for not dying for her at the first opportunity. She probably never quite forgives him for dying, either. So the clever man evades the situation where a choice is required, as the virtuous man evades temptation while it is yet far off.

Have you gained—or lost—or, miracle of miracles—sustained a harmony between the two and kept the perfect weight? Most of you have probably gained. In spite of the fact that one exercises more in the summer and that warm weather menus are invariably dainter than cold-weather ones, more women take on weight in the summer than at any other time of the year. Probably because summer is a season of laxity and self-indulgence in all sorts of vacation pleasures and forts. Reducing diets are forgotten. Outdoor exercises are hearty appetites and succumb to the temptation of all sorts of delicious, fabled foods and drinks. I shall not quote ideal figures and weights in this article. I shall merely suggest that you consider your own figure carefully and apply common sense to your habits of eating. The new fall colors and lines will demand slim figures and healthy, clear complexions to carry them off fashionably. The right diet will take care of both these points, to a large degree. To be sure, a winter diet may be more substantial, generally than a summer diet. But you must not increase the amount of food you eat in the winter if you are overweight. Instead, use the diet. down on calories until your weight is -Shakepecore somewhere near normal for your height. Begin your diet with plenty of water. Drinking water facilitates the digestive processes and helps the pores of the body to keep active and beathy in their function. From six eight glasses a day are necessary. Eight to ten are better. And twelve best of all. Here are a few suggestions for re- ducing bunches: One egg omelet (100 calories). One glassful of milk (80 calories). Celery, lettuce and apple salad (25 calories).

Average serving of boiled lean fish such as cod or halibut (about 235 calories). Small slice corn bread or brown bread, unbuttered (100 calories). Hulung Rubristein MOST EXPENSIVE TALKING MACHINE They are building them better and better every year. Regardless of the statement by many wise acres that the Radio had spelled the death knell of the talking machine, there never was a better demand for the better type talking machine than there is today. The reason for this is self-evident. The radio is used because it brings news of the day, together with music and entertainment. The radio, however, cannot take the place of any of the permanent recordings of favorite songs, favorite singers, or the favorite entertainers. For this reason, Brunswick, in this, their latest type Panatrope with Radio, have incorporated new ideas, new discoveries and new designs of motors and reproducers, as well as new sounding boxes, that in the past were unknown: The machine shown in the photograph with Valerie Rasmeter, is fit to grace the halls of the most fastidious. It is the most sumptuous piece of work turned out by the manufacturers of the Brunswick Talking Machine. A Maharajah, a King, an Emperor, would indeed be proud to have such a machine in their palace. Hundreds of Americans are the possessors of this wonderful talking machine, despite its being priced at $6,000.00. (Herbert Photos, New York) Hints for the Home One of the lesser luxuries that each woman may enjoy without thought of extravagance is that dainty little personal habit—the perfumed bath. Certainly, after hours of housework, nothing adds more to the day's comfort than does this bit of grooming. Famous perfumers tell us that the increasing popularity of the shower bath is changing our perfume habits from the use of bath salts—which are not so convenient in connection with the spray—to delicate toilet waters which form an excellent base for the body powder dusted on afterward. The demand is for the lighter flower scents that leave only a trace of perfume. Among them lavender stands well toward the head of the list; violet, lilac, mimosa, jonquil, orange blossom—all the simple, unblended flower perfumes are especially refreshing—and do much to make pleasant the home-maker's work-a-day.

Blackshear of St. Matthew's, Brooklyn, Says It Is a Matter of "Policy" Rector Denies Racial Bias—Asserts Negro Congregations Near By Need Them Denying that racial prejudice was the reason for his announcement on Sunday that his church "did not want negroes' money or negro members," the Rev. Wm. S. Blackshear, rector of St. Matthew's, instructs Biscopal Church, McDonough Street, and Township Avenue, Brooklyn, said, in an interview yesterday, that his action was dictated by "church policy." "There are two other Episcopal churches for negroes in the neighborhood," he said, which negroes should attend. These churches need negro members. St. Matthew's is a white church and it is desirable that only white persons should attend its services. We have a few negro members, however, who may remain, if they wish." At the service on Sunday the Rev. Mr. Blackshear read the following paragraph from the church bulletin: "The Episcopal Church provides churches for negroes. Several of these churches are within easy reach of this locality. They are in need of the loyal support of all true negro churchmen, therefore the rector of this parish discourages the attendance or membership in this church of the members of that race." There were four negroes at the service. A young negro woman rose and, with tears in her eyes, left the church. The other negroes sat silently with bowed heads. Several white members of the congregation audibly displayed their astonishment at the announcement. The Rev. L. C. Dade, rector of St. Barnabas' Protestant Episcopal Church, Belmont Avenue and Fulton Street, one of the two Episcopal churches for negroes in the neighborhood, evidenced no surprise last night when informed of the Rev. Mr. Blackshear's announcement. "Mr. Blackshear," he said, "has indicated his attitude toward the colored churchman on previous occasions. I do not care to make a direct criticism of his action without giving further thought to the matter. I will say, however, that I believe churches should be open to and free for all people and races, just as Jesus Christ loved all races and showed prejudice to none." Although the Rev. Mr. Blackshear said that his policy in barring negroes has been enforced the vestry of the church Howard D. Lock senior when asked his opinion of the matter, said: "I would rather not express an opinion." No statement on the subject could be obtained from Bishop Ernest M. Stites who is out of town. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear was installed as rector of St. Matthew's Church on June 28, 1929. A dissension in the congregation, which caused a number of the members to withdraw, was provoked by the question of his succeeding the Rev. Dr. Fredic W. Norris, the retired pastor. It was then alleged that a committee of three out of twelve vestrymen and two wardens drew up the contract and obtained the Rev. Mr. Blackshear. He was born in Anderson County, Texas, in 1893, the son of a Southern cotton planter. He studied theology at the Virginia Theological Seminary. As captain of Compay H, 360th Infantry, he participated in the St. Mihiel drive and was cited for conspicuous bravery.
