VOLUME XLVI NO. 46 MASQU A PEC Minnie Episce BIS Rev. Bla (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) On last Monday, Judge T. Gray Haddon had a most peculiar case before him, which was postponed until October 2nd. A commotion was caused in the neighborhood of Second and Duval Streets, the scene of tragies, Saturday afternoon at about 3 o'clock. Two colored men were chased, being suspected of having participated in the robbery of Mary Smith, a crippled old colored woman. The charges on the Police Court docket read as follows: The Record George Walton, colored, 18, laborer, Virginia, 806 N.

Gentry was active in the case. It was stated that Mary Smith was now stopping at 900 N. First Street, with Mrs. Maggie Anderson. Mary Smith is an aged woman, a cripple, apparently about five feet tall. She sits along with the aid of a cane. With her head bandaged and a aborious movement as she walked, he was an object of pity. The Man Came Her statement is substantially as follows: On Saturday morning about 8:30 o'clock, a man came up to her mouth and she asked him who he wanted to see. He said, "I want to see you." She replied, "No, you do not want to see me." He then knocked her down on the trunk and took a rag and stuffed it in her mouth, knocking out her only two teeth in the struggle. The rag became bloody. He struck her on the Continued on page 8 DE PRIEST REPLIES TO SENATOR HEFLIN Seattle, Wash., Sept. 22—Ways and means of playing politics and getting "your share of the patronage" was the theme of a talk given here last night by Oscar De Priest, Negro Congressman of Chicago, before the Colored Republican Club. "Don't take pay as a campaign worker," he said, "if you are paid Election Day, you can't go to a party council later and claim it still owes you something." Citing his own experience as an example, he declared: "I worked two years and spent $15,000 of my money doing preliminary work for Bill Thompson, now our Mayor. When I started he asked me how much I needed, and I told him nothing—that when the pie was cut I would point out my piece. I did." Paying his respects to Senator Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, the Negro Congressman remarked: "I saw in a paper the other day that Tom Heflin, the Senator from Alabama, said if I showed up in the Senate rest rooms he would throw me out. Well, just for that I'm going over there and see if he's big enough I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm not going a block out of my way to avoid it." DR. BLACKWELL ADVANCES Dr. J. H. Blackwell, the popular South Richmond physician attended the session of the Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M. at Warrenton, Va., and was honored with the position of R. W. Junior Grand Deacon.

NEGRO WANTED HERE CAP- TURED IN NEW YORK Frank Smith, Sought By Local Police In Murder Investigation, Is Located. New York, Sept. 18.—Although Frank Smith, 28 years old, a Negro, who said he had no home, pleaded guilty and has no police record, he was held in $50,000 bail to await trial when he was arraigned before County Judge Alonzo G. McLaughlin, in Brooklyn today, because Assistant District Attorney Kopff told the court the authorities of Richmond, Va., wanted Smith in connection with a murder investigation. Smith was searched on the grass at Fort Greene Park on August 29th, and when he told the police he had neither money nor job, was arrested as a vagrant. When he was searched at the police station, a new pair of pants was found under his coat and a glass cutter in his pocket. The learner that some one had cut the window of Frank Stallins' Tailor Shop at 1516 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, and Sillin, according to the police, identified the pants as part of the loot. The charge against Smith was raised to allegory, third degree, and he was indicted. Then the request from the Richmond police to hold Smith for extradition.

"I took special care to avoid making any reference to negroes in my sermon," the Rev. William St. John Blackshear, rector of St. Matthew's Protestant Episcopal Church, McDonough Street and Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, told reporters after the morning service yesterday. Last week he announced that he discouraged the attendance of negroes at his church. Eleven negroes attended the service. Lieutenant Joseph Scheidler and six detectives of the Gates Avenue station were present to prevent any demonstration. In his sermon the Rev. Mr. Blackshear cited several incidents in the life of Christ to justify his action in discouraging the attendance of negroes. "Although Christ preached love for all," he said, "there were times when even Christ refused the company of certain people." He then related the story of the man from whom Christ exorcised a devil, but whom He refused to accept as a disciple. The general theme of the sermon was that a man should have "the courage to his convictions." The title was "Christ, the Creative Warrior"; and the text was from St. Luke 22:36: "Then said He unto them, but now, he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one." The sword, the Rev. Mr. Blackshear said, symbolizes truth and courage. "We also must stand by the convictions of our conscience and what we believe to be right." He went on to say that every one should follow his own race in matters of religion, and that no one has the right to intrude one's self upon another socially, as in church affairs, outside of religious services. "In the middle of the service two negroes walked ostentatiously down the center aisle to seats in the front of the church. A detective slipped into a seat behind them. After the service the negroes gathered in front of the church. The one negro woman present, Mrs. Emmy Hadley, of 469 Tompkins Avenue, said that she was not a member of the church, but had attended the services during the past six Sundays. "I live near this church," she said, "and will not walk to any other." T. A. P. Morton, of 12 Utica Avenue, one of the negroes present, said he had attended the service to see if any active measures would be taken to bar negroes—New York Times.

WON'T DISCIPLINE RECTOR Church Has No Rule on Subject, but All Are Brethren in Christ, He Says in Blackshear Case. Bishop Ernest M. Stires of the Diocese of Long Island, has written to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, regarding the alleged request by the Rev. William S. Blackshear that no negroes join his church, St. Matthew in Birmingham. To the letter, which was made public by Mr. Johnson, Bishop Stires says he believes "ecclesiastical snobbishness is un-Christian" and that "all true Christians are members of one family in Christ." The main sections of his letter are as follows: Calls Situation Regrettable. "In discussing the most regrettable situation which arose in connection with a reported announcement of the Rev. William S. Blackshear of St. Matthew's Church, Brooklyn, I desire to say first of all that I believe that the principle and policy which should animate and govern every church is the principle and policy which we believe to have been taught and practiced by our Lord Jesus Christ. Any form of ecclesiastical snobbishness is un-Christian. "Let me say that in my judgment the Rev. Mr. Blackshear would fully agree with this statement. In a letter to me he completely denies excluding colored people from St. Matthew's. He further states that he has assured the colored communicants of St. Matthew's of the most cordial attitude on his part and on that of his people, that they are deeply respected and that it is hoped that they will continue to be valued parishioners of St. Matthew's Church "He further states that he has expressed the hope that other colored people in that section of Brooklyn would connect themselves with one or the other of the excellent parishes composed of their own people. He confesses that he has given this advice for three reasons; that he and his vesty feel that it is desirable to take that stand as a matter of parish policy; that he feels that such course would strengthen the two orders of parish, who need and should help the help of their people, and that he also believes that they would inevitably have a much larger opportunity in such parishes for the fullest use of their abilities in parochial activities.

Encountering a protestant sleeping off a debauchy they escorted bid to the palace, and put him to bed. When he awakened, he found himself grayed in 'royal ralment,' surrounded with luxury, and lackeys who hastened to sleep his bidding; he went to sleep a drunken wagrant and awakened a king. . . .

Do wrong and continue dodging sometimes from your own shadow. The Rev. W. S. Blackshear, of St. Matthews Protestant, Episcopal Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., overlooked the fact that Negro parishioners attend Negro Episcopal Churches with Negro rectors from choice and not from compulsion. When the Rev. W. S. Blackshear, of Texas, sees Negro hats "laying around loose" hereafter, it will be wise for him not to kick any one of them. There may be bricks under them, which may cause considerable injury to his foot. Bishop Ernest M. Stires, whose ringing philipic against Rev. W. S. Blackshear's public declaration that his church did not want negroes' money or negro members" is a Virgian, "to the manner born". He belongs to that type of Southerners, in whom the Negroes of this beighted section put their trust. There are thousands of others here abouts just like him. The schools are turning out graduates, but the practical workers are as scarce as they always have been. Sefishness is the corner-stone and pedestal, which the rising generation worships. It is located in the mansion of "Have a Good Time". REV. BLACKSHEAR'S BLUNDER We suggest that Rev. W. S. Blackshear, of Texas, change his name to Rev. W. S. Blacksear, of New York. In the manner in which he has handled a delicate racial problem, he has certainly made such a mess of it that it closely resembles a smear. Colored folks as a rule prefer their own churches with their own vestry and their own rector. It gives them an opportunity for Episcopal self-government that they cannot get in any other way. Still they want to feel and know that the latch-string of the white mother church is on the outside and that they can come and go when they so desire to the body to which they owe allegiance "with none to molest them or make them afraid." Bishop Ernest M. Stires has clarified the situation, pronounced the basic principles of the Protestant Episcopal Church and done a world of good throughout the religious world as represented by his Great Church and religious denomination. He has restored the star of hope and now every Negro Episcopalian in the country is looking up with pride and affection to the white Episcopalians, even though they have entered upon the task anew of building large self-sustaining church units of their own under the direct supervision of the Bishops of this great Christian denomination. The issue, so far as St. Matthew Protestant Episcopal Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is concerned is a closed incident. Rev. W. S. Blackshear and his fellows have reversed their position under the ringing exposition of the canons of the Episcopal Church by the presiding Bishop, who is directly in charge of that diocese. His name is Bishop Ernest M. Stires, a native of Virginia. Let us forgive and forget the happening. Brother Blackshear has much to learn and he is learning it. The final analysis is worth the cost. The affair seems to be after all a blessing in disguise. Let us have peace. "AGIN THE GOVERNMENT" The editorial utterances in the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch of September 24th, under the above vaption has occasioned much thought and comment as to just what the very able editor had in mind, when he practically read the "riot act" to those machine Democrats, who would lull the rank and file of the Party into a feeling of false security. He said: Despite the air of confidence which marks all gatherings of Democratic leaders, strange reports keep seeping in from the counties of surprising enemy strength. Modest observers, outside the inner circle of either party, who predicted a Hoover victory in Virginia last fall are just as certain that Brown will win in November. It may be true that the coalition candidate has failed to reveal a single indication of his ability to administer the government of the State, it may be true that his blundering attempts to make him Northern industrialists issue in the local fight have pained his followers to the point where they will not gather and listen to him talk, but these wisecases say that he will, nevertheless, more votes in many counties than will Dr. Pollard. They say, in fact, that he will win the election. In the face of all the facts that can be marshaled to prove that the Democratic party today is giving Virginia a remarkably efficient administration, in the face of the fact that Dr. Brown has revealed nothing but stupidity and extravagance in his campaign utterances, it still must be admitted that his victory is certainly a possibility. It is true that the anti-administration allies cannot use, with full success, the issues that brought victory last November, but it is equally true that they have on their side thousands of former Democrats who would follow any candidate who came out in opposition to their old party. We do not believe that the Times-Dispatch has misstated existing conditions as every person, versed in past political situations have been able to see them. It says further: The coalition forces have this obvious advantage: they entered the field with a following that no argument in the world could shake, that no development of the campaign could swerve from their purpose. It is easy to prove the truth of this assertion by engaging the average coalitionist in debate concerning the respective merits of his and the enemy's candidates. They are not concerned about Brown's weakness or Pollard's strength. Neither candidate means anything to them. They are simply out to beat the government. It is interesting (if unprofitable) to speculate on the reasons for this queer state of affairs. Our own feeling is that it is the cumulative effect of years and decades of uninterrupted success on the part of one party. Each election finds a certain number of voters who are bitterly opposed to the administration candidate. He loses, and nurses his grievance until he is given another opportunity to relieve his feelings by giving the candidate of the enemy a poke in the eye. He is permanently alienated. He may be known as an "independent", because he has left one political party for another, but he is no more independent than the slave of any passion. His life is dedicated to revenge. He lives, politically, to see the party in power grovel in the dust. Issues mean nothing to him, statistics showing progress in road building, education, public health work or any other function of government merely annoy him. He is "again the government" and he will remain so until the "government" has been beaten. This is political gospel based upon past political experience. It applies with equal force to both of the old political parties. It carries the analysis further and draws upon lurid facts when it continues: Once that happens, once the ruling powers have been thrown out and another group placed in power, he may return to some semblance of reason and sanity and mark his ballot as his judgment dictates. But until the symbol of his hatred has been humiliated and dethroned, he will remain, if he should live a century, an automatic recruit to the ranks of any army that sets itself up against the government. It is inevitable that, sooner or later, the Democratic party will be beaten in Virginia. So will the Republicans lose one day in Maine. For the good of the State, however, it is to be hoped that the Republicans and whatever allies they may summon to their aid will not gain control of the local government until they have managed to pick from their ranks some man who gives promise of giving the State at least a mediocre administration. Notwithstanding their constant appeal for more independence in State politics, they will find that, if they should decide to select a candidate who gives promise of being a better Governor than the Democratic nominee, and who reveals a proper conception of the responsibilities and opportunities of the office, they will find many Democrats voting with them. It is unquestionably true that the hide-bound, down-the-line, straight-ticket boys today are not in the Democratic party. They are the "again the government" voters who shut their eyes resolutely whenever an advocate comes around with convincing facts concerning the campaign. Each year there are more of them. It is doubtful if anything short of victory will ever decrease their number. We do not believe that the editor had in mind only a desire to scare the Democratic forces, in order to nerve them to greater political ef- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGIN fort. The editorial is on "all fours" applicable to either party under similar conditions. Victory is in the air for the anti-Smith Independent Democrats. Only almost a miracle, the most strenuous work on the part of Gov. Harry Flood Byrd and his machine can stem the tide. It seems to us that the short ballot is the loadstone that is spelling defeat for the regulars. Much patronage goes with the success of the "outs". Thousands of voters know this and they are augmenting their forces with hundreds of others, who are ready to wait their turn at the political trough should Brown land snugly into the Governor's Mansion at Richmond. Episcopal Controversy. Continued from page 1 drawing a color line and it is my personal conviction that we must avoid drawing any such line in the house of God or at the Lord's table. All true Christians are members of one family in Christ. In two former parishes I had colored communicants and my relations with them were as close and affectionate as with any members of my parish. I never found it necessary to suggest that I did not desire any more, and in my opinion such an announcement is indefensible. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear knows that this is the Bishop's firm conviction. “In the discussion of the incident to which your letter refers, many persons have suggested that disciplinary action should be taken. The Church, wisely I think, has never legislated upon such matters of parochial policy, but the moral and spiritual law of the Church is well understood and is as effective as if expressed in canons, and it is that in the Church as a whole in the Episcopate, in the ministry, in the membership of its parishes and missions the members of the colored race are cordially and gratefully welcomed and that no unhappy distinction of whatsoever kind can set them apart from their white brethren in Christ.” BARRING OF NEGROES UPHELD BY VESTRY St. Matthew's Church Board Announces It Is In Harmony With Rector's Policy. ACTION BRINGS NEW ATTACK Walter White Calls on Bishop Stires to Disavow Blackshear Stand—Minister Gets Threats. (New York Times) The vestry of St. Matthew's Protestant Episcopal Church, McDonough Street and Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, issued a statement to the press yesterday endorsing the action of the rector, the Rev. William St. John Blackshear, in discouraging the attendance of negroes at the church. The statement, which both the rector and the vestrymen refused to amplify, reads as follows: "Due to the general misunderstanding of the real views of the Rev. Mr. Blackshear as to his parochial policy, with which the vestry is in harmony, it is deemed advisable to make no further statement." Subjoined were the words: "Issued by the vestry of St. Matthew's Church." In order to preclude the possibility of misinterpretation, Mr. Blackshear said, the vestry had decided to issue the written statement that it "is in harmony" with the rector's policy and to make no further comment on the matter. When informed of the vestry's action, Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, issued the following statement: "Approval by the vestrymen of the Rev. Mr. Blackshear's stand convicts them of the same brand of bigotry. So far as they are concerned, the ethical standards of Jesus Christ, whom they profess to worship, stops dead at the color line. St. Matthew's amends the statement of Jesus, who said, 'Come unto me all ye that are heavy laden,' by adding, 'And have white skins.' "Negroes and all decent white people who are sincere in their profession of Christian principles must join in the conversion of the Rev. Mr. Blackshear, his vestry and all others of the Protestant Episcopal Church who do not repudiate this stain upon their church. Bishop Stires of necessity belongs with the Rev. Mr. Blackshear and the vestry-men of St. Matthew until he disavows the Rev. Mr. Blackshear's action in bringing Texan methods into an enlightened community." It was learned yesterday that Mr. Blackshear has received several threatening letters since his announcement last Sunday that he discouraged the attendance of negroes at his church. He has taken no action, however, to have the writers of the letters prosecuted. Many of the letters he has received during the past week remain unopened, he said. The vestrymen of St. Matthew's Church are: Howard D. Joost, Frank P. Hoffman, Gordon Y. Billard, Arthur J. Catto, Richard E. Jacobs, J. C. C. Knoblaule, Arthur S. Lewis, James McKnight, F. Van S. Parr, Charles B. Peck, Alfred Scantlebury, Irving F. Seward, John G. Sodden. Mrs. Irene Campbell Johnson is asking information of a relative she has not heard from in years.

In endless variety they come, and so vicissitudes of weather ever prevent a bumper crop of them. Useless, worthless weeds. Kill them, uproot them, burn them. Still, nothing on this earth was made in vain. There is good in everything; because we do not recognize it is no proof whatever that good is not there. Things that interfere with our favorite diversions are not wholly bad because of that fact. From some of the hated weeds, come medicines that save valuable lives. I have seen some of these wonderful drugs functioning beautifully. Is a thing worth while that saves human life? I cannot think of a greater blessing. But weeds have the very industrious habit of springing up where we do not want them, and that is the trouble lies. A contemplation of the human soul, makes me think of a garden; in it beautiful and useless things grow—things that are vital to human life and happiness. And weeds come too, just as in the botanical garden. It is our duty to prevent their coming; failing in that, then, to root them out before they get too firm a hold. If soul-weeds get the upper hand—if they grow bigger than the precious soul-plants, the good may be lost entirely by tearing out the deeper-rooted tares. If weeds grow too long, and too many of them, there is no question of the garden's destruction. It is precisely the same in the garden of the soul. All this round-about way to prove that weeds may be, and are all right in their place—but the garden is not their place, no matter what garden. If the weeds in my soul-garden are too deeply rooted to pull out safely, the Master of the garden will wait till the harvest time, then segregate the weeds and burn them. And He will save the good things He planted there. MANUFACTURER OF PURE HERB MEDICINE OFFICE: 224 WEST BROAD STREET Do You Love HEALTH? If so, Call and See L. J.

Then the delicate slices are taken out unhurt, since the extractor has no perforation to cut or break them. "Spinner washers have been put to many unusual uses," said Sillas H.

American Camping Hard-Booted Mini by 12 Million Bibles a Year! Topical lessons will be followed during this quarter and the main theme is "Some Social Teachings of the Bible." The Aim, indicated by the Lessons Committee, is "To guide the pupil into an understanding of Bible teaching on some social relationships with a view to the establishment of right habits and attitudes in dealing with others." As in the previous quarter of topical lessons, numerous Scripture references will be indicated and these are to be examined with much care each time. The conclusions come from a wide range of study and not from just a few references. For this lesson read Nehemiah 4:15-23; Mark 12:28-34; Romans 15:1-7; Philippians 2:1-8; Colossians 3:12-4:1; James 2:14-17. Our limited space does not offer opportunity for even a brief exposition of each selection. Even Robinson Crusoe could not think of himself only for any length of time. The man Friday had to come in for his attention and likewise for the sharing of his provisions. All have obligations to others because each one of us is constantly being blessed by the sharing of others. It would be a sorry life that one lived entirely alone. This is in the mind of all, though we may be slow to acknowledge the fact. Trick questions were being asked of Jesus, that last day of public teaching. The Master Teacher showed that the scribe need not have asked about the "first commandment of all." He should have restated the contents of the Shema, for both the phylachy and mennah called for supreme love for Jehovah. Then Jesus brought the man's attention to every day life by adding "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself." People can get away with a kind of love for God without caring them much. It is different in loving our neighbor for he is constantly in need of our kindly deeds and gifts in his extremity. "Wha· do I get out of it" is a suicidal question in these days. Nebuchiah could never have completed the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem without the cooperation of all the returned pilgrims. In times of danger we place ourselves and all that we have at the disposal of country or cause. OTHERISM is a word to coin and then cultivate all that is called therein as we seek to make this world, which science is making a mother, into a real brotherhood. Nebuchiah has been called the "Gospel of Common Sense." Theotheore had the lab of moving from it as he sought to summons others in a real rather than a professional life. Faith and creed are worth working with which are for the good of mankind. Creed is only as it develops charm and immanent content. One cannot do as he pleases, but it example. GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY. GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST 7. The less picture of modern youth is body 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 book" 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 1 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 Direct Selling Federation, Chicago, who has been gathering the business statistics of the survey, "and 1929 promises to smash all previous records. "One bible house alone has seventy-five thousand representatives and distributing channels this year more than one third of the bible courses the year through. The 1929 sales of bible-study courses run into several thousand thousand courses, the majority in the cities and towns." Modern youth may not practice formal religion as keenly as his grandparents' did, states Dr. James M. Gray, president of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, but "he is more universally interested in education and in studying religion in a sincere effort to learn its 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 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. 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 each 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." --- SOULS FOR SALE by RUPERT HUGHES ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY Tenth Instalment What Happened Before Remember Seldon comes West to avoid revealing the ruins of an unfortunate love effect to her father.

Meanwhile the attention of Mr. Bermond, head of the company, is diverted to her and the decision to give chance. So she asks him to give more as her director, cheyng his comments in a kind of stunt. Her father later resists story calling "the girl girl in America" and writes a letter of protest to his wife and daughter. Mem's fame begins to spread, and Chaymore, the director, takes an unusual interest in the film but tries to be aloof and professional to hide the fact from the company.

He meant it nobly, but it sounded crude when he checked the car in front of her little home and took her hand and said: "If you will let me marry you, I'll see that my wife divorces me." These dives into convenience marked the sea in a hunted way of accomplishment and assumed rightly business and wanted to make her an honest woman." He laughed nervously. shares." It was as un- known as possible, but then it is now easy to make a brilliant answer to a stupid suggestion. She felt that she must improve on it a bit, but she helped it little when she added, "just as much obliged Good night!" Two days later she began work with Tom Holby's company. Holby described the part she was to play in the big scenes. People make love unconsciously at times and in the truest court- ing, never a word is spoken. Two couples travel mystic gardens to together and come to deep under- standings without the exchange of syllabled thought. Mem was so wooped by Holby. The orders had gone forth to rush the Holby picture to a conclusion. Big night-storm scenes had been scheduled for the final takes, and on the final morning the first scenes were begun promptly aaine. Kendrick promised to meet for the all-night grind, but it was not until half past seven that the day's work was done. At nine they went to the first of the sets. The Californian night was black and cold. The night in the story was one of tempest and battle. Tom Hobby must run an automobile into a ditch and make a desperate war against four brutes who were instructed to put up a good fight. Each bit of solemnity through which she was to flash had been made ready the day before. Perforated rip pipes were reinforced by men who would play a fire hoose or two upon the hapless actress. The gale was to be provided by an airplane propeller mounted on a truck. Mom inspected the settings she was so briefly to adorn. "Why do they build that fence around the wind maehine!" she asked Kendrick. "To keep people from walking into the propeller and getting chopped to minosmeat," said Kendrick. After an hour preparation the army was ready for the battle. A gentle rain fell from the pipes. The fire hose, aimed up in the air, added its volume. The wind machine set up its mad clatter. The water and the lightning filled it with shattering fire. Then Mem was called forth. She clutched her cloak about her and thrust into the tempest. It was like driving through a slightly rarefied cataract. She hardly reached the pillar at the edge of the porch. His heart sickened. She would be sliced to shreds. clutched it for a moment, caught a quick breath, and flung down the steps. And that was that. All this preparation for one minute of action! She was taken to a warm room and wrapped in blankets while the next scene was prepared. She was supposed to be in a long disjuncture between the last scene and this, and she must enter it wet. At length she got her signal and went forward again, head down, into the wild storm. During her absence a telephone His heart sickened. She pole and a tree had been brought down by the storm and photographed as they fell. It was her business now to clamber across the pole and push through the branches of the tree, and so fight her way out of the picture. The wind machine had been shifted several times. The wind man in his confusion forgot to notice that the property men had forgotten, in their conclusion, to set up the fence before the propeller. It was at ar midnight now and everybody was numb with cold, frosted with the promiscuous rain, and a little irresponsible. Their working day was already fifteen hours old and it would last at least five hours more. In the lobby, he was photographed in climb up the wet sides of a ravine, and was half frozen in his soaked clothes, but he stayed to watch Men through this scene. his soaked clothes, but he stayed to watch Mem through this scene. She struggled with the maniac hurricane, stumbled and fell across the telephone pole, thrust aside the wires, lifted herself and breasted the wind again drove into the wreck of the fallen tree. The branches whipped her wet flesh cruelly. The lightning just ahead of her blistered her vision like the white-hot irons driven into the eyes of Shakespeare's Prince Clarence. The wind blew her breath back into her mouth. She bounced a little support from one bouch of the tree she could never have reached the margin of the picture. Kendrick's heart was glad with triumph as he saw her pass out of the camera range. He called, "Cut!" and the camera men were jubilant as each of them shouted "O. K. for me!" Then Kendrick heard screams of terror, wild吁ows of fear. He ran forward and saw the blinded little figure of Mem still pressing on straight into the blur of the airplane propeller. His heart sickened. She would be sliced to shreds. She could not hear the yelled warnings in the noise of the machine. The operator shut off his engine, but the propellers still swirled at a speed that made them only a whorl of light. The wigwigs were carved by the horror of the monster. More Mobs broke from the mansion that made the immediate beauty of the girl walking forward to a hideous face. He ran and dived for her, like a football tackler, booked his left arm about her knees and funging her backward, thrusting his right arm and his head beneath her, so that when she struck, her shoulders were upon his breast, her drenched hair fell across his face like seaweed. She opened her eyes in a chaple of bewilderment. Just above her the flying propeller blades were glistening in the light of the sun are. They were still revolving when the wind machine man, jeaping from the post where he had stood expecting her fate and his own eternal remorse, ran to lift her from the ground. Others helped up Tom Holby. He had knocked himself unconscious when he head struck a rock in the ground. His cheek was ripped and gushing blood. He came to his senses at once and forced a ghastly laugh. Mem screamed with fear for him. She had not yet realized her own escape. She was all pity for Tom Holby, and anxiety. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page "It's nothing," he said. Then he staggered with dread of what Meen would have looked like now if he had waited an instant longer or missed his aim at her knees. He drew her from the vortex of the propeller, which was subsiding with the dying snarl of a leopard that has missed its pouce. The next day the company gathered to see the rushes of the night stuff. Kendrick sighed, "That came near being a portrait of you walk- would be sliced to shreds. Tom Holby did not speak, but he reached out and not seated. Meen hand, wring it with an eloquence beyond words. He seemed to be squeezing her heart with clinging hands. She was consumed with an impatience to begin a new picture at once, and to be very busy with life and love, beauty and delight. And yet, when Tom Holby, after they had left the lot, asked her to ride with him for a bit of air. I her he adored her and that was adorable; when he cooed her with deference and meekness and pleaded for a little kindness—her heart froze in her. She could not even accept a proffered beaming. She looked at him and thought—as did: "To many people love you, Tommy. You belong to the public, and you couldn't bring yourself down to really loving little me." "Oh, but I could! I do!" he cried, "Damm my public! I don't care for anything but you." "But I haven't had my public yet, and I love it. Just now the only love I can feel is acted love." "Then let's have a rehearsal," he suggested, cynically. But she shook her head. "I want to laugh, Tommy, she grilled." "Amuse me, mama, she grilled." "There's the new Charlie Chaplin comedy," he said. "We might get in" "Let's try," said Mem. Holby swung his car round. "Tommy" said Mem. "what is comedy?" I sick of all these crying scenes and emoting all over the place. I want to be a comedienne. Do you think I could be one?" "I don't think so," said Holby, with scientific candor. "You never made me laugh. You don't laugh much." "No, but I'm going to lol. I think if I ever love anybody really, it will be a great comedian. Do you know any comedians who aren't married, Tommy?" "Lots of 'em," said Holby. "A sense of humor keeps a man from getting married, or stayed married long." They took in a Chaplin show and on the way home she snuggled chose to Holby in the car. Yet when he spoke tenderly she made fun of him, giggled, reminded him of bits of the picture that had amused her. This engaged him. "I'm going in for comedy," she said. "It's the only thing worth while. All this tears and passion business makes me sick." Holby fought out in his soul a descent battle of self-sacrifice before the brought himself to the height of recommending a rival. There's Ned Ling; he looks for a pretty leading woman. He's not Chaplin, but he's awfully funny in his own way. If you're so hell bent on a comic career get your event to go after him." "Ned Ling," she mused, "Yes I've seen him. I may make a try at him a little later." But when she reached her home there was something waiting in ambush for her—a letter from her father.

Hands bespeak the lady—so it has been said for more centuries than we can remember. And yet, in the eager joy of sports and outdoor living, our present generation seems in grave danger of forgetting this age-old counsel. Hands require special care after the vacation, and nails, particularly, are likely to show signs of neglect. So I shall devote this entire article to the care of the nails: for remember—no matter how soft and smooth the hands are, they will not be truly beautiful until the nails are as fresh and gleaming as tiny pink shells. The shape of the perfect nail varies. But before you go to extremes with your nail file, stop for a moment and realize that the nail is a utility appendage as well as an ornament. It is placed at the end of your finger to protect the sensitive nerves there from all sorts of injury. Very short, pointed nails are quite as foolish as the long pointed ones A man feeding a chicken. Here is shown Dr. J. T. Renwald, who has developed a new brand of chickens, who have neither wings nor toe-nails. He has been inter-breeding chickens for five years and now this 5th generation, which is made up of a brood of some thirty chicks, have neither wings nor toe-nails. Dr. Renwald claims they will lay 300 to 350 eggs a year. (Herbert Photos, N.Y.) which the Chinese nobles protect with jeweled nail-guards. (Unfortunately there are women who are quite as fondly vain in this respect as the mandarins.) The most sensible and correct shape for the nails is an almond shape, only moderately long, rounded at the ends and corners, with a half-moon smoothly revealed at the base. For the home manicure you need only a few implements—a nail file, an orange stick, a nail brush and a good chamois buffer are most essential. Some women prefer the quick liquid polish to a dry powder or paste polish used with the buffer. This is a matter of taste and convenience. Certainly a liquid polish saves time and many of the good ones are in quite as good taste as the conservative dry polish.

His cut can into a piece of cheese. Spoons he needed not, and as far as forks, were concerned, even if he had them, he would not know how, to make use of such implements. Who, invented the knife and fork no one knows. Indications, however, point to the woman. It is believed that having finer sensibilities than the man she 'conceived of a crude affair which was the grandfather of the present spoons, knives and forks. Why knives were made with long blades and short handles no one knows, altho it is suggested that the knife primarily was first used as a weapon. When not used as a weapon against enemies of our forefathers, it could be used to carve the beasts that were slain for their flesh. No improvements in the common variety of table cutlery were made, because of the idea that what was good for grandfather must be good for grandson. The International Silver Company, believing that knives could be improved by lengthening the handle and shortening the blade, finally evolved from many 'experiments the "Viande Knife" that is shown here.

Perhaps no other dainty appeals to children quite as much as does a fruited gelatin or a charlotte. Yet few mothers recall this when planning these desserts for family meals. Keep on hand a supply of ice cream containers (they cost only a cent or two) so that next time you prepare a fruit loaf or a chocolate jelly, a Bavarian cream or charlotte, may pour part of it into this safe container and set it aside for the school lunch the following day. And make it a surprise—never even hinted until the box is opened. At best the cold lunch leaves much to be desired, when appetites are finicky. It is surprising to see how much these little "extras" do to keep children satisfied.

She wrestled with her, threw her on the floor, took 75 cents from her bosom, which amount was her rent money, toore off her stocking and took ten dollars, which she was saving therefrom. She velled and made so noise that her head was board next door. She had succeeded in getting the rag out of her mouth. A party next door named Hattie, called over there and asked where was Mary and what was the matter with her. Minne Brown told her that she had gone out and that she had been sick that night. Hattie said, "No, she hasn't gone to work. You all are doing something to her. Mary said the man was as black as he could be, big white eyes, a red headbandchief around his neck and a big overcoat on. He was a dirty looking negro. The boy, George Walters, who was over there at the time, said that he did not do it. Said Minnie Did It He was in the house at the time, but he did not do it. Minnie did it. Mary Smith said that she did not know the man. Manuel Wright, alias "Do Dirty", was arrested in the afternoon, and George Walters was captured near Capital City Lodge, Elks' Home, by John White, and turned over to the police. I decided to seek an interview with him. He was in the Juvenile Court lock-up. A note from the capable probation officer, Mr. W. R. Johnson, proved to be an "Open Sesame" to the Detention Home. Wanted Him to Help Wanted Him to Help George Walters readily told his story, after a few minute hesitation. He said "I have George Walters not Walton, and I roomed at Minnie Brown's, 806 N. Second Street. She was drunk on last Saturday morning. She came into my room disguised. She had her face blacked, had on a pair of man's pants, an overcoat, and carried a revolver. She wanted me to help her get the money from Mary Smith. Left the House I refused to do it. When she went out, I got under the bed. Mary Smith made so much noise that I got a bundle of my clothes and went out the back door. The boy that lives next door saw me go out. Later, they caught and arrested me. Minnie Brown told the officers that she did not know anything about it. Sergeant Gentry took Minnie Brown to the wash basin and asked her what the black was doing on her face. She said quickly that she did not know how it got on there, she thought she had gotten it all off. Mother in Washington George Walters stated that his mother's name was Lillie Walters. She lives at 4914 Ashby Street, N.W., Washington, D. This ended the interview. Mimi Brown is in the call. Mary Smith said that she could not identify the person, who assaulted and robbed her. She is very deaf and while doing light jobs is helped in this particular by those charitably inclined. The Detective Department seems to accept George Walters' statement as being substantially correct. GRAVEL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. L. Tuck, Pastor In spite of the heavy rainfall, Rev.
