Drive On To Help Va. Theological Seminary & College. VOLUME XLVI NO.47 Rev. Bla His Position Made We Drive O A small black kit containing a Bible, a quart of whisky and a pair of eyeglasses proved the undoing of the Rev. Samuel L. Bush, negro pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, who appeared before Judge A. Taylor Pitt in the Henrico Trial Court yesterday. According to Henrico police, Bowis, Reed and Robinson, the Rev. Bush and Willie Allen, a deacon in the church, drove up to a store in the neighborhood of Curles Neck and were stopped because of some difficulty with the license plate of their coupe. One of the officers, after smelling liquor examined the car and discovered the kit reposing against the rear window above the seat. Out of this kit, said to be the sort used for carrying the communion service, protruded the neck of a suspicious-looking bottle. The Rev. Bush was arrested on the charge of transporting ardent spirits, and the deacon taken into custody as a material witness. In court yesterday the pastor explained that he and his companion were going on a fishing trip and expected to need liquid refreshment. Hence, he had contributed one dollar for the purchase of some tea. The homilical tones he denounced his deacon for having deceived him in the purchase. The Rev. Pitt sent the pastor on to the grand jury.—Richmond Times-Dispatch, October 2. LOTT CAREY'S BROTHER HERE College of Physicians and Surgeons, 617 Shawmut Avenue Boston, Mass., Oct. 1, 1929. Dear Editor: Many thanks for the good things you said about my book. Yvette Carey's brother, Obed, has been living on Church Hill, in Richmond, all of these years. His children are still there. I am here taking a post-graduate course in medicine and will return to Liberia next spring. Kindest regards, C. C. BOONE, M. D. Mrs. W. E. Winkler of Atlantic City, N.

Gray Haddon last Tuesday morning. The amount was promptly paid. Mrs Ellen Gordon died in a local hospital here and her remains were turned over to Randolph Brothers. In the meantime, Funeral Director Robert C. Scott was engaged by the family of the deceased. When he took the order over the body had been embalmed. As is the rule in such cases, he was required to pay Had Embalmed Body He made enquiries of Randolph Bros. as to which one of the regularly licensed embalmers had performed the service. He could not secure the information. Then he communicated with all of the licensed embalmers here and they disclaimed any knowledge of the case. Funeral Director Scott finally got in communication with Embalmer Matthew Allen, who is employed by Randolph Brothers and who acts as an assistant to regularly licensed embalmers and he stated flatly that he had embalmed the body. State Official Notified There was no allegation that the body was not properly embalmed. Mr. Scott reported the matter to Funeral Director L. T. Christian, Secretary of the State Board of Embalmers. It was at first thought that the matter had been smoothed over and Ramah permitted to drop as Ramah Broth. A regular embalmer was in Charlottesville, Va., on a visit at the time. The matter, however, reached the court with the result stated. TRADE UNION UNITY LEAGUE LAUNCHES FIGHT FOR NEGRO WORKERS (Crusader News Service) New York, October.—Negro workers played a leading and vital part in the recent convention in Cleveland of the Trade Union Unity League. They served on all important committees and had one of their number as vice-chairman the first day and another as chairman on the third day. Six Negro workers were also elected to the National Executive Committee of the T. U. U. L., with one of the six, J. W. Ford, a full-time national organizer. Prominent among the resolutions passed by this epoch-making convention was the following on the Negro: "The growing war danger, arising from the sharpening contradictions of world imperialism, mass unemployment, wage cuts, speed-up systems, etc., the sharpening of the class struggle, the proletarianization of tens of thousands of Negroes due to their migration into industrial centers, the mechanization of agriculture and the industrialization of the South; the continued social, economic and political oppression of the Negroes by the bourgeoisie and land owners; the betrayal of these workers by the treacherous A. F. of L. and S. P. leaders, the unmasking of the Negro reformist movement, all these forces radicalize the Negro masses, and give us increasing opportunities for successfully organizing the Negro workers into the new militant unions. The Sharon Baptist Church building, which has been undergoing repairs under Contractor A. T. Holmes, has thrown open to the public last Sunday to the delight of the congregation. The wife of Rev. R. H. Johnson was mistress of ceremonies last Sunday night and her handling of the situation was without a flaw. She said just enough in introducing the speakers and her voice carried to all parts of the edifice. Rev. Dr. Thomas Preacher Mrs. Susie B. Williams had been chosen to introduce Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D., the former pastor, and her brief portrayal of his career was a gem. The choir was at its best. As for Rev. Dr. Thomas, he surprised everyone one. He gave an account of the erection of the building, his wife, Kate, having laid the first bride. Dr. Thomas aroused the concession to a high pitch of enthusiasm at the close and then after having spoken only about thirty-five minutes resumed his seat. That Pew Rally A pew rally was in progress and about $500 was realized. Rev. R. H. Johnson had the entire affair systematized, and with an adding machine with him was able DONT'S END ? ? ? ? chine with him was able to announce the total amount collected immediately after the last member of the committee had reported. The church has been painted inside and out. pupit has a fine new pupit that the expensive manufacture the rear of the building has been improved. Cathedral glass in all of the windows constitutes a feature that adds materially to the effect, and at night it is difficult to believe on approach, that it is the original edifice. The improvements will aggregate $7,500, but the members are so enthused that there is little doubt but what it will soon be wiped out. TWO KILLED, MANY WOUNDED WHEN CHICAGO COPS AT- TACK WORKERS (Crusader News Service) Chicago, Ill., October—As a result of an unwarranted police attack upon the home of a Negro worker, where a meeting was in progress, one Negro worker and a white detective are dead, and two detectives and another Negro worker are lying dangerously wounded in a local hospital, with nearly a score of others more or less seriously wounded. The battle began when police invaded the flat building at 4139 South Parkway in an attempt to disperse several hundred members of the Moorish National Science Temple, with headquarters at 3603 Indiana Avenue, who were holding a meeting in the building. As the police pounded on the door for admission, those inside prepared to protect their rights to hold meetings unmolested by the police and were soon replying with pistols to the gun fire of the detectives and police. The latter were quickly repulsed by the colored men, who, from a knowledge of past experience of RICHMOND TO RAISE $10,000 Virginia Theological Seminary and College CAMPAIGN The Effort of All the People PASTORS CAPTAINS OF SQUADS 1,000 Workers $10 Each 100 SPECIAL WORKERS Great Educational Revival and Rally At MT.

Not until the reserves were called out and a fire company had raised a ladder to a window and dropped a gas bomb into the flat would the assembled members surrender. Fourteen of them, including ten women, were arrested. All of them, included the women, reached the police station badly battered by police clubs. So intense was the resentment of the Negro workers against the police that a cordan of one thousand armed policemen was thrown into South Side district to intimidate the masses. New York—At the regular monthly meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, held at 105 East Twenty-second Street, New York City, Friday afternoon, September 27th, there was an extended discussion of the attitude and policy of the Federal Council with reference to the relations of white and Negro members of the same churches. The question was brought before the Administrative Committee by interested who felt that it was important for some clarifying element to be made visible in the recent discussion of the subject. Included in the attendance of the meeting of the Administrative Committee were representatives of Negro churches and also representatives of white churches both northern and southern. The final action which was taken recognized the problem as of such vital import that instead of disposing of it hastily, instruction was given to the Commission on the Church and Race Relations to study the whole issue and to be prepared to report at the coming Annual Meeting of the Executive Committee of the whole Council. The resolution which had unanimous support was as follows: Voted: In view of the widespread discussion of the relation of white and Negro members in the same churches and in view of the fundamental questions of principle involved affecting all races, the Commission on the Church and Race Relations is hereby requested to study the whole problem thoroughly and to prepare a report for submission to the Annual Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Council. The Annual Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Federal Council composed of about one hundred and twenty-five members officially appointed by the constituent denominations of the Federal Council includes four Negro bodies and will be held in Chicago, December 4-6.

WYATT, Reporter Negro in a White Congregation Has Not the Full Scope for Development, He Asserts. East Hampton, L. I., Sept. 26. Declaring that his policy of discouraging attendance of negroes at his church had been widely misinterpreted and stressing that he used the word "discourage" and not "bar" in announcing his policy, the Rev. William S. Blackshear, rector of St. Matthew's, Brooklyn, an explanation of his motives at today's session of the clergy conference of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Long Island here. "Iused the word 'discourage,'" he said. "I mean for it to have its plain meaning as I understand the word in the English language. I did not say that I barred the negroes. I did not presume to think that I or my vestry could excommunicate one even if we so desired, which we most certainly do not. Neither did I state that I would refuse to receive a negro as a member of my church. "My Bishop can bear me out in the fact that I have prepared and presented several of this race for confirmation with no thought of refusing to do so. I have never in the course of my ministry refused my services as minister to any man, woman or child of whatsoever color, status or race, and I never intend to so refuse. But if I consciently believe that a negro can develop better in churches per se than he can in white parish, and he can to him my conviction; if I am willing to give one the second best when I am convinced there is a better one for him, I am false to my trust. Therefore, the policy expressed in my bulletin is that which will be followed by my cure of souls. "The following are the reasons for that policy: "I feel it my duty to maintain the integrity of my parish. "I wish to advance the kingdom of God among the negro race, and I hold that that is best accomplished by his own agencies. For this purpose the Church maintains negro churches. Therefore, when I accept a negro as a member of my parish I consider I am not co-operating with what I believe is the policy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. I wish to encourage the establishment and growth of these churches among the negroes that they too may have the Gosnel preached unto them. PRICE FIVE OENTS BUSH. porting. ce Issue sent Members al Church. College. "The negro ministers in charge of these parishes are men of culture, refinement and education; therefore, the negro can obtain from them in these respects as much as a white clergyman can give them plus that added degree of sympathy and understanding which is natural to expect among people of the same race. "I am one of those who yet believes that patriotism and loyalty to one's country is a virtue and not a perversion. I believe that the same virtue ought to be manifested toward one's family any one's own race. I, therefore, long to see the negro develop a race pride. Such a commendable loyalty, I believe, is the road of progress and ment for them in various venues of life. My theory (that it is not a novelty) for the solution of our race problem is a 'parallel civilization' for all races, so in a nation where two races are distinct as are the negro and the white man, live side by side in such large numbers. Such a parallel civilization seems to be the very law of nature. "Every man has a perfect right to his own opinion as to what is the solution for our race problems, but when one consciently seeks to better a condition or solve a problem, he must face facts. Now the fact is, no matter what your theory or mine may be, that a negro member of a white congregation has not the full scope for development of his parochial life that is offered to him in a congregation composed of his own race. Therefore I feel it my duty to do all in my power to encourage his alliance with negro bodies. "Now, if these are my honest convictions on the subject, and they are, and I fail to tell them to my brothers in Christ, the negroes, when they seek membership in my parish, if I do not in other words discourage attendance and membership by them in a white parish, and encourage them to seek a near-by negro one, I am culpable in my trust and stewardship. Remembering, therefore, the words of St. Paul to the Romans (14:12). 'So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. I proceed without fear of what man may think to advise my brother as to his good in general and for his soul's welfare in particular.' FORUM CLASSES BEGIN TERM. The fall quarter of Forum Classes opened Wednesday night in Fifth Street Baptist Church with a very substantial increase in enrollment. The indications are that the number of members studying this term will treble any previous quarter. Two lectures were given; "Vowel Sounds," A Mark of Cultural Speech" and the last of a series on "The Adventurous Life." Next Wednesday night the social hour will be featured. A committee composed or Miss Cornelia A. Ward, Miss Annie Henderson and Mrs Sarah Garnett will preside. Annouchement of formal opening of the Church Hill Class will be made next week.

HOWE "The Sage of Potato Hill" THE SAME OLD WORLD—A WONDERFUL STORY OF PROGRESS—RURAL EXTRAVAGANCE ASOKA, BARBARIAN. A SUGGESTION. UNWISE NAPOLEON. I have not been able to find an account of a man who was entirely intelligent, or of one who was entirely honest. The best example of an honest and intelligent man was possibly Asoka, a barbarian. It is sad of him that though he conceived in battle as easily as did Bapolcon, he grew to have a horror in war, and would have no more of it. Asoka had victory to his credit in full measure. No one could say he was a coward, or that he was not the best of commanders. He was rich, and regal in splendor of palaces, robes, jewels, and obedience from his subjects. So the man chose afterafter court fame by becoming a just and intelligent ruler, and this course met with so much success that he is at this distant day, best known and respected of the notables of his time. Any page devoted to a summary of a thousand years of history, gives brief mention of rulers much alike; so many victories, so many defeats, and through it all about the same thievery and oppression. But instead of the usual line given an ancient ruler in the necessary brief summary of history, Asoka gets a star in front of his name, and a footnote recording distinction no other king, president or chief has. The history of Asoka is shadoy, and I somewhat distrust it, but it at least persists, and is a suggestion a modern ruler might have made reality. Why should not a ruler acquire fame with honesty rather than with PHYSICIANS' DIRECTORY. A. M. and S P. M. Sunny School Herbart A. Allen, 412. E. Clay Street Elinw B. Basetti, 1719. A. E.

In the Russian campaign, wrecked him, he took a choice that was surely unnecessary. He appreciated he could not successfully invade England because of the channel separating Calais and Dover, but overlooked a more serious handicap—Winter—in invading Russia. Why was it impossible for Napoleon to be as wise as the barbarian Asoka, who, after becoming satiated with victory and power, chose to try for still greater glory, as a just and intelligent ruler? St. Helena is a good story, but an unnecessary tragedy: I regret Napoleon's history is not an inspiration to all men that honesty is the best policy. Had Napoleon adopted Asoka's plan as late as Austerlitz, he would have not only his present fame, but a great deal more, and of a better kind. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. A. S. S.

The little demon, Indigestion, is no discriminator. He attacks the possessor of an unclean head with the same enthusiasm that he does the owner of a clogged organic tract. Dust, when allowed to accumulate on the hair, clogs the pores of the head, thereby shutting off one of the normal escapes for the wastes of the body. As a result, the organic gases back up inside the human system, and are absorbed by the blood. The blood stream, becoming polluted, gents poisons throughout the system when exposed to the waste processes and produce indigestion. IN VERY ATTRACTIVE PATTERN.

BUSH’S PREDICAMENT We read with much interest the report that Rev. Samuel L. Bush, the well-known Fulton pastor, was ar- rested at Curles Neck upon a charge of transporting whiskey. On the face ‘of the statement as alleged to have been made, no whiskey was found upon the person of Rev. Bush. Just why Officers Bowis, Reed and Robin- son, without warrant, should have rearched the kit of Rev. Bush is an- ‘other question. Their noses are on a blind scent for whiskey. We learn that Willie Allen is not a deacon. If the pre- cedent is to be set that the kits of all fishermen are to be searched without warrant and preachers put to the ex- pense and annoyance of being tried for having liquor, we think we see much more trouble ahead. The very statement that he was on a fishing trip should have made all fishing tackel, lunch boxes, grips and pock- ets inviolable as to search. We take it that no one of those Henrico officers had ever hooked a fish in his life, else he would have known of this unwritten law of the read, It is essentially necessary for men to go on hunting expeditions and fishing trips with attendants to look after the care of the bait, espe- cially live bait and have matters so adjusted and arranged that should they reach a locality where the fish persistently refuse to bite, it will eause no embarrassment or annoy- ance to the fisherman. He brought the pleasure of his fishing with him in another receptacle and “what in the h—I do we care?” Besides the average Negro preacher, these days with the empty collection basket and light collection plate needs something besides the spirit to cause him to forget his troubles. He needs his day off. Judge Pitt had no other recourse but to send the case on to the grand jury, but the county of- ficers did have recourse to remain within the strict letter of the law and to let the parson and Willie Allen's whiskey alone. A fishing trip without liquor? Why the very idea makes us smile. We risk the opinion that should Bowis, Reed and Robinson, if they are fish- ermen go upon a similar expedition, their grips and packages would con- tain much more than one quart of whiskey in order for them to survive the lonesome hours that they would wait to get the fish in a humor to bite. Now again, the bottle was said to be inside of the kit. The kit was in- side of the car. The car did not be- long to Rev. S. L. Bush, for the rea- son that it was not registered in his name. The rule in Henrico county is to fine the deserving culprit, who cannot get out of it any other way and to suspend the jail penalty. We would like to know, too, the brand of that corn liquor and how it got by the eagle eyes of Sergeant Dan Du- ting’s squad. i ‘That keen-witted officer has been egarged with many things by the| pootleggers, but that of robbing a/ cvor fisherman of all of his pleasure’ by unlawfully fishing into his kit waich either did contain the bait or naould have contained it is not one og them. Rev. S. L. Bush is in the mands of the white folks. If he “knows his onions”, he can get out a, the hands of the white folks, but Gud help him when he returns to the custody of his own people. Selah, MUN. JOSEPH BUTTON BECOMES PRESIDENT ‘The Union Life Insurance Com- pany of Virginia scored heavily when it secured as its President Hon. Linguished ViTgHuan Coleen linguish an office in the service of the State, which he had built up from comparatively nothing to one of the first ranking insurance bureaus in this country. ‘That confidence which had been instilled in the policyholders of the concern by the former President, John N. Lawler, who died recently, fwill be more than trebled by this re- markable move, which has brought forward to manage and direct it one fof the foremost insurance experts in tne United States of America. That Col. Button sees a great future for Ithe concern and for himself hardly ladmits of a question. The policies of the company now in operation have been regarded as novel and satisfactory. This great leader will not be satisfied with con- fining himself to this line of insur- ance endeavor, but will enter into the field under his own banner, so to Jspeak, not to tear down or to de- stroy what is already there, but to add to the same, organizing if need be, individual units of insurance of his own creation, brought about by ‘twenty-three years of critical experi- ‘ence in the service as Commissioner ‘of Insurance for Virginia. It seems to us that the mere ac- ceptance of this office by Col. But- ton will have a great advertising value. Our reason for this is due to a brief glance at the record of this wonderful Virginian. Let us see: He was elected by the unanimous vote of the General Assembly of Virginia jas Commissioner of Insurance in 1906, when the office was created for four years and has been five times unanimously re-elected to that posi tion, He has had practically absolute pcan! of this department, so ad- mirably has he discharged the duties Jand ruled upon all questions sub- ‘mitted to him, | On March 1, 1928, the Insurance and Banking Departments were con- solidated and he won out, being ap- pointed Commissioner of Insurance Jand Banking by the State Corpora- ‘tion Commission, which recognized, not only his peculiar qualification for te position, but also his popularity among all classes in this State. Col. Button was at one time President of ‘the National Convention of Insuranee Commissioners, an honor, which is only accorded to officials of outstand- ing prominence. | He was subsequently Chairman of the Executive Committee and has been since 1917 its Secretary-Treas- urer, being Dean of the Convention and the oldest Insurance Commis- sioner in point of service in the United States. One of the most glow- ing tributes appearing in public print will be found in the Richmond, Va., News Leader, of October 1, 1929, under the caption, “Leaves a Hole on the Hill”: What will the bureau of banking and insurance be without Joseph Button? And what will old-timers think when they wander, from deep- set habit, into his office, and find that Virginia’s first insurance com-| missioner has resigned after twenty- three years, and is president of the Union Life Insurance Company? Joe Button was clerk of the senate when the bureau of insurance was estab- lished in 1906. To make sure that, he was named to head the bureau, and that he would be continued there no matter who was governor, the act provided that the general assembly itself should fill the office. As lon as that remained the law, : Button’s re-election was almost auto-_ matic. And now he is to leave! Very few are left who were in the employ of the State when he opened the bureau of insurance in seat ment of the capitol. Lee Moore re- mains; so does Major Carter at the court ‘of appeals; 80 do one or two members of the’ capitol police and one or two of the clerks in the de- partments. Davis Bottom is still there; Ennion Williams, who : two years after the bureau of insur- ance was opened, continues his) notable work as head of the health iepartment. Dr. Mellwaine has been| almost as long in the State’s service, The veteran of all the veterans is, of sourse, George W. Koiner, commis- ioner'of agriculture, who) has 2 on Capitol hill: since 1899 and. has weathered all the storms of politics. John W. Williams has been there ven longer, but he did not become itular clerk of the house of dele- rates until the famous “long. parlia ment” of 1901-04, the legislative ses sion that lasted three years. Col. Joseph Button is the picture f health. So far as his physical yowers are concerned, he is in his| wrime. He is evidently preparing to ound out his career as an insurance ficial by making a great insurance ompany so much greater as to cause etn, Aeterna cebopeaints Saunt neu eh The remarkable happening in the history of the Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia is further aug- mented by the individuals that Col. Joseph Button will have around him THE RICHMOND PLANET, RIUHMOND, VIRGi: in his work of fashioning this new insurance creation, which he has in mind, In this connection, he has with him Superintendent 0. I. Bryan, who was the associate and bosom friend of the late John N. Lawler. He is in possession of all detailed informa- tion concerning the company. He is quick-witted and able and has a corp of employees under him, who are loyal, energetic and trust- worthy. He had something to do with the choosing of Col. Button, al- though the widow of the deceased president was really the one, who thought out the proposition and de- vised the plan for making her hus- band’s life-work a fixity by calling this great Virginian to head the con- cern. Mr. Bryan has been chosen Vice-President and Secretary. | Superintendent I. L. Wornon is another one of the “Old Guard”. He has been closely associated with Mr. Bryan and the President and his work has been recognized as the very best. Mr. J. P. Baldwin, Chief Examiner in the Insurance Department, under Gol. Button, and who rendered such faithful and satisfactory service, up- on being invited so to do, decided to cast his lot with that of his chief and he also tendered his resignation to accept the position of Treasurer of the Union Life Insurance Com- pany.

Women Arm for Defense of Family Pocketbook As Senate Debates Rates On Shoes, Socks and Sugar Making Them Happy On this year's Candy Day, October 19th, orphans, cripples and bedridden children will be presented with candy by Candy Week Committees in about 200 American Cities. CLEVELAND, O.—"Going straight through" causes about seventy-five per cent of automobile accidents in the United States. Stated another way, about 20,000 persons were killed last year because someone went "straight through." These figures were brought out in an address here by Clay S. White, nationally known expert on safety and traffic problems. "A study of nearly 55,000 accidents shows that in 19,000 cases there was misunderstanding over the right of White, and in 7,000 cases there was misunderstanding limit; and an equal number of accidents occurred because someone was on the wrong side of the road. Deliberate or accidental disregard of signals was another important factor. "However, the drivers are not the only ones responsible for these startling figures. Most state laws say that drivers must be able to pass, providing that two cars reach an interaction at the same time. Much trouble results. One driver argues that if he can get the first he will have the right of way regardless. The other driver may have the same theory at the same time. The possibilities of a raid on the family pocketbook, should the tariff bill now being debated by the senate become a law, has awakened women voters to a new interest in the doings of the lawmakers in Washington, and the family budget throughout the country, it appears, have been doing some figuring on just how the tariff increases on certain daily necessities will affect the home exchequer. What they'll do about it is not altogether plain, but with the ballot in their possession they may yet become the deciding "influence" in determining the fate of the bill. Typical of the attention women are giving the Hawley-Smoot bill, with its increased schedules on shoes, socks, sugar and similar indispensible items affecting the family outlay, is the "watch" that has been set on the tariff debates by the National League of Women Democrats. At the same time, the bill, the League recommends that women generally inform themselves as to its provisions so they may understand just how it affects their interests. "The tariff is one of many important factors in the cost of living," says Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, national chairman of the Living Costs Committee of the League, who is a regular attendant at the tariff debates. "Instead of telling housewives to be more saving, when the price of necessities goes up, we urge them to find why the price goes up. We want them to be justified. Now that women have the ballot, they are in position to make the protests respected." "The tariff is so intimately tied to the household budget that no STOP travel intersections, but all such in-interest the driver is looking, intersections are not properly marked. Flexible rubber signals that can be Traffic signals placed where drivers run over without injury to the driver will not readily see them are as bad or auto have been found most effec- tious signs are all. The best plan is to Cites where such signs are used in signage in the center of the road and to avoid incidents since arrest in the center of the road is not legislated." M. MRS. HARRIS T. BALDWIN intelligent voter, either man c. woman, can ignore it. The bill now before congress affects a very materially the house's budget, the house must buy. Because of this, we are trying to explain to her the relationship between the tariff and living costs. It is all a part of our effort to make the average woman participate more largely in her government. "The bill now before the Senate contains many controversial sandwiches, and these are that on women everyone uses. It is not to increase the present re crease the present re highest in 34 years—11 yrs. per point to give increased protection to live domestic sugar beet industry In the effort to harmonize conflicting interests, several remedies have been suggested. One is the strong scale principle, which its sponsors claim would deal fairly with both producer and consumer by automation; adjusting the tariff rate to most changing prices in the world market; and using a small Sacco smoothed was abandoned in committee. Another scale, however, proposed by Rudolf Snoekels, sugar refiner, it has been announced, will be brought forward on the senate floor when the sugar schedule is reached. "The particular claim for the Speckle's plan is that while providing a basis to insure adequate protection for the American sugar grower it also would give protection to the consumer public, through a reduction of tariff duties, in times of high world sugar prices. This plan includes an internal revenue tax, designed as a cheese against excessive refinery profits, and also to equalize the difference in labor costs on the American plant. The plan also includes a watch to see what effect the tax on prices to the consumer. "The adding scale proposed seems certain to be one around which much will center will. It is a new idea in tariff making, and one which seems likely to recur not only in connection with sugar but with other imports. Its propositions, indeed, suggest that it likely to provide us with a new and more scientific basis for our entire structure. The woman, voiced well to study it." THE CHINESE MASTER OF TEA "When the frost is on the punkin—" that's the time for housewives to consider autumn specialties in the larder. Sandwiches, always the most alluring temptation to the ingenious hostess, have occupied much of the attention of Marye Dahnke, home economist, in the kitchen-laboratory of the Kraft-Phenix Cheese corporation.

"Barbers are too high-priced a luxury for the average native. He shaves himself, stropping the blade during the shave, and then the most out of each steel blade. The purchasing power of the average worker in South America is low and outside of the safety razor, which is an innovation.

GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY. Britannica Company Hard-Selling Gad by 10 Million Bills a Year! GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOCKHORST The first picture of modern youth is likely 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 city. 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 religious in a sincere effort to learn its personal value to him." There is also no such thing as a "bible belt" in America, say religious leaders and publishers of bibles and bible-study courses, who have been making an analysis of the reasons for the steady increase in bible sales since the world war. Sales statistics so far gathered disclose that the city is just as good a market for religious items as the town. The increased interest in religious study with the bible as its center, is demonstrated by the constant growth of the "Family Altar League," a nonsectarian organization which encourages parents to gather their children around them in the home for religious instruction or prayer," says John Meredith, Chicago, secretary of the league which now is backed by many well-known business men throughout the United States. "Almost 17 million bibles and 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 of Chicago, which oversees the 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 or even a room," he says. "The bible is notting 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 on third of which will be active as a church." The 1928 sales of Bible school courses run into several hundred thousands, courses, the majority in the cities and towns." Sunday School Lesson This quarterly temperance lesson makes use of the text that was studied on July 28. Other scripture portions that need careful consideration are 1 Corinthians 9:19-27; 1 Timothy 4:7-12; 2 Timothy 2:1-5. Items concerning Prohibition and its enforcement continue to be first page news. Henry Ford has recently renewed his statement that he wants only temperance workmen in his employ. The cost to self, machinery and others is too great to have any other kind. Both big and little business has long since reached this conclusion. Daniel was a propagandist when he wanted to use his own common sense against the arbitrary command of the Babylonian king, who was a puppet to habit, and he ordered that non-body building foods and drink be given to the young men who were in training for a practical presentation at court. On the other hand this Jewish lad and his companions had ideas of their own about what was good for them, and their opinions had been confirmed by all that they had witnessed of profligacy while in this foreign land. If they were to pass the proposed examination they must have an unsluggish mind housed in a strong body. To accomplish this they must eat so that they could really think. They knew far less about alcohol than we do to-day, but they did understand that the more you think about it the less you will drink it. In fact many drink the poison in order to stop their thinking process, and they invariably succeed. The result of a vegetable diet and wholesome drinking was apparent when a comparison was made with those who had been fed up on the "dainties" from the king's table washed down with the poison drink, which is unchanging in its reaction. These lads studied while others went off the effect of false stimulants and they passed A1 when examination time came. The whole matter goes back to the fact that his Daniel was not an echo of custom but rather king's high officer who did not bear the "purpose." He was both sure and steadfast. This enforcement of the prohibition laws, to which every honest citizen is committed, is but a project method of finding out the facts, this was what Daniel proposed.

As the read this letter and saw I k of the lines the heavy brows of her old father, saw the bald spot she had stared at from the choir loft, saw all the sweet wrong-head- ness of the veteran saint, Mem's heart hurt inetolerably. My mother sobbed: "What on earth can I write the poor dar- lung?" Mom replied: "The answer is easy. I'm going to send him all the money I've got." Her mother cried out against robbing one of her loves to pay another. It seemed a cruel shame to take the first bit of cake from her daughter and sell it to buy bread for her. You'll need it yourself. You may not have another job soon. You need new clothes and a rest." "Rest and the clothes can wait." Her mother kept a miserable silence for a long while before she could say: "Your father will never accept money that you have earned from the pictures. He'd rather die." This gave Mem only a brief pause. She answered simply: "Doctor Bretherick got me into this business by making up the pack of lies that brought me out here. Now he can make up a few more and save poor daddy from deprivation." She sat down at once and wrote the doctor a letter, telling him what he must know already of her father's helplessness. She inclosed a money order for two hundred fifty dollars. She wrote check at it, she was afraid to have it put through the bank at Calverly her last father he of it. She instructed the doctor to make up another of his scenarios about a repentant member of the congregation wishing to restore some stolen funds—or anything that his imagination could invent. Then she set the wheels in motion to secure an immediate engagement with the next to the greatest comrade. She then set the wheels in motion to tender of important booklet, a delimiter No made her sit down on a long couch and snuggled close to her. of art theories—but above all a man afraid of nothing so much as he was afraid of love. It was a period of dead calm and torpid seas, and so Mr. Bermond willfully arranged to "rent" her to Ling, who wanted her at once at first sight. Meanwhile, through Claymore, Terry Dack was about to be struck off in innumerable portraits and showcured upon a grateful world. At the age of five he would commence his business career with a salary of two or three thousand dollars a year. He made her sit down on a long One of Mem's pictures was shown soon after at a theatre in Los Angeles, and she sat in a vast throng. She saw with pride a fat woman sniffle and thought it a beautiful tribute. She saw a bald-headed man sneak a handkerchief out, and pretending to blow his nose, dash his shameful tears away. And that was beautiful to her with 'wonderful beauty.' The papers the next day in their criticisms gave her special mention. A wonderful thing to see one's name in print and with a hairstyle used to it. She had but a little while so revel in this perfect award, for in a few days a letter came to her, forwarded from the studio. Her heart plunged with terror as she read. I seen your picture last nite and it made me sick you awful innsent and sweet in the picture and you look like buter wouldnt melt in your mouth but I know better for me the guy who held you up wen you was with that other guy and took your wedin ring off you I didnt know who you was then and I dont know who he is yet but Im wise to you and all I got to say is I got my ey on you and you better behave or els quit playin these innsent pics you movie people make me sick you only a gang of hip-pecrits so beavir. Mem felt odious to herself, with all the revolting nausea of evil revealed. There is remorse enough for a struggling soul that knows its own defeats and backslids, but it is nothing to the remorse that follows a published fault. This letter was more hideous than headlines in a paper. It was more dreadful than such a pilloried public shame as Hester Prynne's. It meant that somewhere there was a man in an invisible cloak of namelessness and facelessness who despised her and jeered at her sublimities of purity. Her highest ambitions were doomed to sneering mockery. After a day in Ling's studio, he took her to "T. Beggar's Opera." She had "her" orientation at the end of the seductive villaines, that she did not faint. Then Ned Ling said: "I've laughed myself hungry. I haven't ordinarily any appetite. Let's go to my house and have a bite." "To your house?" "Yes. It's all right. I'm quite alone there. Just a Jap. Very secluded." She wanted to say: "You tell me not why I should go, but why I should not. And I won't." But it seemed a silly little-gilish, old-maidish, prunes-and-primish thing to say so she said, "All right," and got into Ling's car. When he said, "Home," to the driver she almost swooned, but not quite. The Jap showed no surprise at the late arrival of his master with a lady. Evidently it was the ordinary thing. Mem longed for a mask or a fire escape or a gun. She glanced about for weapons of defense. But Ned Ling said: "Some scrambled eggs and bacon—some wine. Would you rather have red or white?—or a little champagne? Let's have some champagne—yeah THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page Yes, well have some champagne—native California—but good." She was hungry, but he kept one of her hands prisoner and preferred to talk. Afterward they went into the beautiful living room, a strange room for a clown; more like what she imagined a millionaire's room to be, judging from what millionaires' rooms she had seen in the movies. He made her sit down on a long couch and snuggled close to her. She was curious rather than alarmed. He took her her hand. g couch and snuggled close to her. again and studied it, talking in the rather literary manner he sometimes assumed: "Each separate finger has its own soul, don't you think? Hands are families. Queen things, fingers. Your right hand and your left hand aren't the least alike and your face is still a third person." Before Mem write realized how solemnly ludicrous a couple of comedians could be—if anybody had been looking—except God—and perhaps that Jap valet—Ling's head was on her breast and his eyes were turned up into hers—like a baby's. He was in a newborn prattling humor. That was a secret of his success. He was a baby with all a baby's privileges of impropriety, selfishness, adorableness. He could revert to infancy and take his audience with him, made old men and women laugh at the simple things that had tickled their childish hearts. And withal there was an amazing sophistication. He was a baby that calculated and measured, triumphed and yet went and wanted always, the next toy. He was thinking of Mem as his next toy and she was thinking of him as her next child. His warm head and his brown eyes, like maple sugar just as it is luscessent to syrup, and with the same gold flakes glinting—they were quaintly babyish to her in spite of his old talk. "I want to love and be loved, but not to love too much. I'm afraid of love. It has hurt me too bitter. Some of them haven't been true to me, and that hurt me horribly. And I haven't been true to some of them—and that hurt me still worse. I don't know which is ghastlier—to see a woman laugh at you or cry at you. Marriage is no solution. I don't see how it can help being the end of love. Love ought to be free—like art and speech. Of course art isn't free. There's the censorship. Well, marriage is like censorship. Everything you do and say and feel must be submitted to the censor. They call this a free country and have censorships and marriage!" She smiled. He was more like a prattling baby the more cynical he grew. His heavy head made her breast ache and yearn for a baby. But he wanted only the froth of life without the body and the dregs. "Could you love me just enough and not too much?" he pleaded. If he had said, "Marry me tomorrow!" he might have had her then. But she had not his opinion of marriage. She had played the game without the name—and the ecstacy and the penalty without the ceremony. She had escaped public shame by a minute of luck lies and accidents. The hunger remained for the rewards of marriage, the honesty of a home, the granite foundations of respectable loyalty. So when he pleaded with her for love when that cheated and played for fun and not for all, for a kiss, for caresses, she shook her head—mystically as he thought, but very sanely and calmly, in truth. Finally she yawned in the face of his passion and said, "I'll be going home now, please."

Your hair probably has not profited by the summer vacation—unless you are unusually fortunate—and requires special attention at this season of the year. The sun, salt water and careless, hasty shampooing as well as complete neglect in the matter of massage and brushing, are likely to have robbed the hair of its smooth sheen and lustre. Let us begin at the beginning. Good circulation is the prime essential for a healthy scalp and healthy, lustrous hair. The blood supply in the scalp must be kept active in order to nourish the hair roots and to keep the tiny glands in good working condition. This means that the scalp must be stimulated. Hair tionics should fulfill two functions. First, they should be stimulating to bring up the circulation. Second, they should be corrective in their effects upon the oil glands. For the dry scalp a tonic should be oily. For an oily scalp the proper tonic should have astringent, dry qualities. Simple massage when used in connection with an efficient hair tonic will frequently correct the common scalp troubles of dandruff and falling hair. Massage brings up the blood to the scalp, and tones up the tiny muscles at the root of each hair, thus permitting the nutrition and general good health of the hair. A'RATTLER'S'JAW 10 The rattlesnake's poison equipment, however, is a highly interesting example of nature's ingenuity, and a knowledge of the construction is valuable to persons who in the course of their travels might encounter these venomous reptiles. For this reason, the Field Museum of Natural History has placed on view a life-size model of a rattler's head with its mouth wide open, showing all the defensive weapons of this poisonous creature. (Herbert, N. Y.) Regular, vigorous brushing is another important beauty aid in developing healthy, lustrous hair. It is an excellent thing to remember at this time of the year that if you massage your scalp and brush your hair regularly and frequently as you eat your meals or brush your teeth you will have to spend time and money later in curing unhealthy scalp and hair conditions. Shampoo are important, too, but as I recently came into this matter so thoroughly and completely, I shall not take, it up again. I shall mention one cairnt, however. When it is possible, avoid the drying machine for your hair. After it has received its final rinsing, wir it out thoroughly and wrap a warm towel around your head, rubbing the hair until most of the moisture is absorbed. Then divide the hair into sections and rub each section with a second warm towel. This is a good time to use one. Massage it well into the sections of the scalp. Shake your hair well and, if convenient, dry the drying process with a sunbath.

(Herbert Photos, N. Y.) NEW KNIFE POPULAR AS NEW MONEY NEW HAMPSHIRE The cave man was content to use his fingers in conveying food to his mouth. His teeth could tear a rhinoceros' steak as easily as a dull knife can cut 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 handles. Why knives were made with long blades and short handles no one knows, although it is suggested that the knife primarily was first used as a weapon. When not used as a weapon against enemies of our fathers, 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 "Vlande Knife" that is shown here. Soon the knife with which we are all familiar will be as scarce as the old money of our Uncle Sam, which is being rapidly replaced with the new short bills to which we have all been introduced. The young lady in the photograph holds the Vlande Knife in her right hand, while in her left hand is shown the old style knife. A close up of the new knife is seen at the right. (Herbert Photos, N. Y.) Tims for the Home by Nancy Hart You are planning a special luncheon—and have no maid? Then choose recipes that can be partly prepared in advance, and a menu that permits easy service—the main course on one plate, let us say. If attractively arranged this is permissible for informal service. Usually the unvary member of "plate service" is the salad, which, if it is to be appetizing, must not spread or allow its dressing to wander to other parts of the plate. Good recipes for this purpose are the jellied salads: Asparagus tips, egg and pimiento molded in lemon-flavored gelatin and garnished with a puff of mayonnaise; pineapple, shredded cabbage and cucumber in gelatin; fruit salad, and almost any combination of cooked vegetables can be molded in jelly. These can always be made the evening before and set away in the ice box until wanted—relieving the cook of one trouble—some course to prepare on the day of entertainment. A very good plate service menu is the following: Persian Melon Breaded veal cutlet Shoestring potatoes Creamed peas and mushrooms in Soak a cup of dried lima beans overnight. Drain new day and put EVEN them in a kettle with two quarts of cold water. Add a ham bone and a cup of ham cut in tiny pieces, and simmer until almost tender. Peel two sweet potatoes, add to the beans and boil until soft; rub through a strainer, season with salt and pepper and save very hot. How to Fry Raw Potatoes Peel potatoes and slice them in thin rounds; put into frying pan 1 tbl each butter and sweet lard. When this is hot enough to fry, add potatoes, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Cover with a tight-fitting lid so the steam will partly cook them. Then remove lid and fry until potatoes are a golden brown, turning them carefully so they will brown equally. Serve at once. Russian Salad 1 cup cooked diced beets; 1 cup cooked peas; % cup cooked celery. Blend with Russian dressing; serve on crisp shredded lettuce and garnish with hard-cooked egg. Pineapple Caramel Pudding Caramelize 1 cup sugar and put in buttered shallow, square pan. Cut slices of pineapple into quarters and arrange on bottom of pan. Over this pour your favorite sweet muffin batter and bake. Turn on a large plate so the pineapple will be on top, and serve with whipped cream. Cleans White Enamel Quickly When washing your white enameled cooking utensils, stains will come off readily if you dip the wet cloth in baking soda and rub over the enamel. Use plenty of soda. When Basting Meat It is always better to use fat, or butter mixed with water when basting meats. Plain water or juice that contains little fat dissolves the outside coat of the meat, releasing both juice and flavor. to use his fingers in conveying food tear a rhinoceros' steak as easily a piece of cheese.
