THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. THEORETICAL PLAN FOR G O P SOUTH CALLS FOR BLACKENING DEMOCRATIC PARTY BY NEGRO CONGRESSMEN. VOLUME XLVII NO. 1 TH CALLS PA Washington, Nov. 12.—Joseph R. Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association, was peremptorily directed by the Senate Lobby Investigating Committee today to appear tomorrow to explain his alleged failure to submit the names of Senators from "backward States, who, according to his recent testimony, should be "silenced" during consideration of tariff bills. The committee acted on receipt of a letter from Mr. Grundy, apparently intended as an answer to the request for a list of the "backward States", but which was denounced by Chairman Caraway as "evasive" and a "subterfuge." "I am not going to tolerate such a subterfuge," declared the Senator, white with anger, as he directed the committee clerk to "order" Mr. Grundy to appear before the investigators. Senator Caraway gave his instructions in the midst of the examination of J. A. Arnold, of the Southern Tariff Association, who was subjected today to a searching inquiry concerning reported plans for the formation of a Southern Republican Council "to hold in line those Southern Democrats who bolted their party and voted for the Republican Presidential candidate in 1928." Arnold Discusses The document outlining a platform upon which to build up Republican organizations in the South was obtained from the files of Mr. Arnold's office in Washington. But he declared all responsibility for it, declaring that the idea was conceived by Vance Muse, a field worker of the American Taxpayers' League another organization represented by Mr. Arnold. Either in this document, or in letters relating to it, the names of President Hoover, Vice-President Curtis, Senator James E. Watson, the Republican leader of the Senate, and Colonel Horace R. Mann, who managed the Hoover campaign in the South, were frequently mentioned. In on letter to Mr. Muse, urging that plans for the council should proceed, Mr. Arnold wrote that his "thought would be to organize it and go on without criticizing any one, and build it into usefulness." "Hoover will not understand it, and knows nothing of the South," the letter added. Set Forth Plans to Handle Negroes The document, the author of which remains a lawyer, set forth the opinion that "the colored person in Southern Republican politics can best be eliminated through the election of colored Democrats to Congress from St. Louis, Chicago, Harbor and other colored districts." This matter, it was added, "is in capable hands." Senator Borah, a member of the Lobby Committee, was of the opinion, according to the document, that a Southern Democrat should be named to the Hoover Cabinet. In a letter to Mr. Muse, Mr. Arnold said it was the purpose of Colonel Mann and "others in close contact with Hoover" to "kick the negro out of the party in the South" and "whiten the Republican party." --- "Our plan is to equalize by blackening the Democratic party," Mr. Arnold wrote. "Formation of the proposed council was abandoned, the witness testified, because of disapproval expressed by Senator Watson, who urged him and those affiliated with him to concentrate their work in the activities of the Southern Tariff Association. Mr. Arnold will be questioned further with respect to the "Southern Republican Council" after Mr. Grundy's appearance tomorrow. The Grundy letter, which aroused the fire of Senator Caraway and other members of the Lobby Committee, was 3,500 words long and, in the main, is a repetition of the statement on the tariff which he offered as a part of his testimony on October 29 and 30. Grundy Contrasts the States. Mr. Grundy told the committee on October 29th that there were seven States, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana, Wisconsin, Arizona, Mississippi and South Dakota, "whose representatives in the Senate," as he said in today's letter, "have been most vocal in the efforts to prevent industry from deriving any benefit from the pending tariff revision." Contrasting the economic position of Pennsylvania and other Eastern States with that of the seven "backward States," he wrote: "The records show that the industrial States of the East, through their representatives in the Senate, have stood four square for practically everything that the agricultural interests have demanded in the way of tariff help. "Not only that, but as I showed in my earlier statement, these same States contribute by far the major portion not only of the normal national upkeep, but all that has been, and is being, set up for the farmer in other forms of government relief. "It seems to me to be absolutely unfair, therefore, and in contravention of the interests of the country as a whole, that when the needs of these industrial States are being considered, there should be a coalition of Senate votes, utterly disproportionate to the weight of population and the concentration of those activities which create our vast reservoir taxation, to deny to those industrial States of the East the proven needs which are the basis of our country's whole economic structure, I have spoken of disproportionate voice in the United States Senate and I have used the expression 'hard commonwealths.' I am personally willing to illustrate my phrase.' Cities Vote in the South. body then presented a table vote polled in Alabama, georgia, Mississippi, South Virginia in 1926, as the vote cast in Penn- wear. This table showed six Southern States in and a total of 343,464 per cent of the com- pan of the six States RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY NOVEMBER 16 1929 was recorded, where Pennsylvania polled 1,504,696 votes, or 17.25 percent of the total population of the State. "When a State or States cannot or will not avail themselves of the benefits and advantages of those national legislative policies under which other States, and the country as a whole, have gone forward until we are the foremost nation of the earth, and when, in addition, not more than from but eight-tenths of 1 per cent to less than 5 per cent of the population of such State or States participate in national affairs through their elections and Congressional elections." Mr. Grundy declared, "I say there is something wrong in or with those States, which I would characterize as being backward, and for which the committee is at perfect liberty to select its own term. One Senator for Pennsylvania. "But the pertinent point of the matter is that, while those States have one United States Senator for each 28,662 votes, or a total of twelve United States Senators in all Pennsylvania, with a present population of about 10,000,000, and more than 1,500,000 voters participating in the 1926 Senatorial election, has but one member and a single voice in the United States Senate. "More pertinent still are the same facts when expressed another way; namely, that if Pennsylvania had representation in the United States Senate in the same ratio as these States, it would have $52\frac{1}{2}$ Senatorial votes, instead of only one. "Various aspects of this subject occur in large part of the testimony given in my second and third appearances before the committee (October 29 and 30), and I believe that these supplemental statements leave nothing more to add, which in any way would contribute to what I understand to be the committee's objective, namely, an investigation of alleged lobbying in Washington." Says He Tried To Be Clear. Mr. Grundy recalled that in previous appearances before the committee he testified six hours and, so far as he could recall, the committee had not denied or disputed a single fact he had set forth, but had shown "a most remarkable interest in the single expression 'backward commonwealths.'" "Although I tried to be clear—and thought I was—in the definition of my meaning, you have asked me to further define the expression and give some illustration of its application." Mr. Grundy wrote. "That is the purpose of this communication." The Grundy letter, which was dated November 11th, was delivered to the committee today. Senator Caraway told newspaper men that the committee had asked Mr. Grundy to file a "list" of Senators representing "backward States" who he thought should be denied a voice in the consideration of tariff bills. It had been referred to by the Senator as "Grundy's list of 'preferred' and (Continued on page four.)" CLEVELAND ELECTS COLORED WOMAN MEMBER OF BOARD OF EDUCATION Greatest Upset In History—Noses Out White Rival Attorney McGhee Lauded As Manager of Campaign. Cleveland, Ohio. —The greatest upset in any municipal election in a metropolitan city in this country took place here on Tuesday of this week, when Mary B. Martin, lone Colored candidate, was elected to the Board of Education of the city of Cleveland by more than 53,000 votes. Her campaign was managed and directed by Attorney Norman L. McGhee, sometime editor of the Cleveland Call and Post, and one of the prominent younger attorneys practicing at the Cleveland bar. The surprise was all the more great for the reason that the present members of the Board, four in number, had been endorsed by the three metropolitan dailies, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cleveland Press, and Cleveland News and by a civic organization known as the Citizens League, which has for a number of years presented a slate of candidates for the Board of Education, which is seldom broken. Her surprise victory startled political observers, who had assumed the four present members up for re-election would be returned without serious opposition. Late in the ballot counting, Mrs. Martin passed Resh H. Davis, running for re-election to the Board, and with twelve precincts yet to be heard from was ahead of Davis by 3,347 votes. It was conceded as impossible for the twelve precincts to erase this margin. SOUTH RICHMOND NOTES Last Sunday the services at the Union Baptist Church were very inspiring.

WYATT, Reporter. ATLANTA ROUSED BY BOMBING AT NEGRO'S HOME Interracial Committees Demand Appreciation for racial and injection of Nerogia, Grits Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8—Following the explosion of a bomb last week at the home of Herman White, 791 Proctor Street, interracial committees of prominent citizens have taken up with the police department, the prosecuting attorney, and the chamber of commerce the question of securing protection for the Negro residents in that vicinity, and of getting effective action against those who blew up the white home. A committee composed of R. L. Foreman, business man, Willis Sutton, superintendent of city schools, and James Morton, Secretary of the Church Co-operation Committee, immediately waited on Chief of Police James L. Beavers, and asked that special police protection be given to the citizens of the Proctor Street neighborhood, who several times within the last year have been terrorized by bomb explosions. The chief promised the co-operation of his department. A committee was appointed also to wait on John A. Boykin, the public prosecutor, with the request that department officials effort be appended to the perpetrators and bring them to justice. A third committee is to request the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce in the effort to put an end to this sort of thing and safeguard the lives and property of all residents of the city. Further steps in the case are being considered by the interracial committee, which is deeply distressed and humiliated by the situation that has developed and is earnestly seeking means of effective action against it. The bombing occurred in a section which is rapidly changing from white to Negro occupancy, and is thought to have been for the purpose of deterring Negroes from making further purchases in this neighborhood.

WORLD'S LARGEST SUBMARINE WILL BE LAUNCHED BY FRANCE MONDAY, TAKING LEAD FROM BRITAIN Paris, Nov. 12.—Le Scourouf, the world's largest submarine, will be launched at Cherbourg next Monday. It will have a fuel supply sufficient to travel 13,000 miles, or half way around the world, without stopping. The principal features of the new submarine are as follows: She is 400 feet long, with a surface displacement of 3,257 tons and a speed of 19 knots. She will carry four 5.5-inch guns, fourteen torpedo tubes, which can all be used at once, with a supply of thirty torpedoes. She will have a small seaplane stored on board. Her officers and crew will number 150 men. The armament of the giant submarine will permit her to dive to a depth of 430 feet, 100 feet deeper than any submarine has ever dived. Her armament will be thick enough to resist air bombs and anything but a direct hit from heavy artillery. She will carry special and aircraft guns. The provision for building the submarine was made in the French naval base of 1926. Another submarine of equal power was planned, but it has been found too expensive. The largest English submarine, which is now outclassed by the French war vessel, cost more than $5,000,000. The anniversary exercises of the Second Baptist Church gave much satisfaction to the distinguished pulpit divine, Rev. Joseph T. Hill. His success there has been phenomenal and the indications are that he will double his remarkable influence and labors during the coming year. Rev. F. W. Williams is doing a great work at the Fourth Baptist Church. His members are delighted and all opposition to him has disappeared. Here'sHowe BY E.W. HOWE The Safe of Potato Hair READING. THREE KINDS OF MEN. SURGERY. I occasionally read a book or essay, and, while agreeing in the main, reject certain portions. It has occurred to me that possibly the portions I reject contain precisely the truths I need to correct my errors; whereupon I examine my objections with such care and intelligence as I am capable of. I recommend this course to all readers. A reader is master of the situation. He may be as unfair as he chooses, without chance of reprimand or cross-examination. A reader should not reject conclusions of a writer without consideration. Why read at all if we accept only such conclusions as are agreeable, and meet our own views. The people abuse bankers very generally, but do the people realize what bankers say about us? Lately I was in the smoking room of a Pullman car, and there were three clean out strangers present who came out to be bankers from a section of country. Presently they began talking of their business, and I have not lately heard a more intelligent résumé of life and men. They knew the people as few writers know them, and their comments were fair and charitable, although very candidly admitting our faults. PHYSICIANS' DIRECTORY. A. M. and 8 P. M.

One of them gave this description of the men of his community, dividing them into three classes: he was president of a national bank, I learned in course of a conversation in which they did not know I was interested: 1. One-half of them were honest, and entitled to credit; a few were slow, but would finally pay. 2. One-fourth were careless, somewhat shiftless, got into all sorts of difficulties because of these habits, and had to be watched closely. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. 3. One-fourth were dishonest, lazy, and hopeless from every standpoint. I have been wondering since if this country banker did not give a fairly accurate estimate of the men of the world. The Mayo brothers, at Rochester, Minnesota, are probably our greatest experts in surgery. They say more than half the operations performed in this country are unnecessary. I shall believe that; I depend upon the best experts in considering things I do not know much about. Everyone knows of horrible and unnecessary butchering in surgery. SEE THE 4-PIECE BUFFET SET.

The chain stores seem to be doing a good business. Delany did not get to Congress in New York this time, but he had "a run for his money." We can help you if you will let us, but you will not help us when we are begging you so to do. Colored folks have been called the child race and this is a pretty good designation for our class of people. Most women are happy, when they have what they want, but this happiness does not last long. Trouble is for us all and the trouble about the trouble seems to be that it is steadily getting worse. Necessities of life are high, while those things not essential are often reasonable in price. Money may be plentiful in this country, but only a few people seem to have access to and the control of it. Bishop James Cannon, Jr.'s, letter from South America means that he is not out of politics, "by a long shot". The conditions existing in Wall Street during the last few weeks is inexplainable. Millions of dollars have been lost. Colored folks, as a rule do not lose in these ventures. Some people seem to think that they can get along without prayer or the help of God. They will find out all about it should they live long enough. We hope that the Virginia Republicans will reallize next time that the 14th and 15th Amendments are in the Constitution of the United States for every citizen to obey, including Col. Henry W. Anderson and that the Virginia Bill of Rights is in existence to be cherished by every devotee of Old Virginia. A PECULIAR PROPOSITION We are devoting considerable space to the report that an effort has been under way to blacken the Democratic Party, so to speak by encouraging colored men to join the Party and run as Democratic candidates and to whiten the Republican Party by outsting the Negroes as far as this is possible. We realize that "the wish is father to the thought," but it is nevertheless a fact that the charge was made openly during the recent Virginia election that the Democratic Party in this State was the Negroes Party. The Negro congressmen in the last equation are to come from north of the Mason and Dixon line. There are unalterable principles underlying all of this, however, and the politicians indulging in this kind of talk will have their trouble for their pains. Mr. Grundy seemed to have "occupied the center of the stage" in this interview and he did not mince words in discussing economic questions. COL. ANDERSON TO RETIRE Practically all thinking people will agree that Col. Henry W. Anderson as a political factor in this State has "run his course". Hon. C. Bascom Slemp will once more "shine in all of his refulgent splendor" as the Southern leader. So far as leading colored folks in the Southland is concerned, it is out of the question. President Herbert Hoover has made "short shift" of them, their influence, their votes and their leaders. He seemed to be of the opinion that the Republican Party is invulnerable and that no dissolution of the unbeaten forces behind him was possible. All of this is changed. The same leader, who split and defeated the Democratic organization last November finds his own organization in a most embarrassing situation in the United States, where its leaders have been routed and the forces behind them on a "dead run" for some place of safety. President Hoover will find even more of this condition of affairs as the months roll by and the prospect is that the next Congress may be Republican by a narrow margin, if not Democratic. A Theoretical Solution. A Theoretical Solution. 'common' Senators." "The information contained in Mr. Grundy's letter," Senator Caraway said, "is not in compliance with the request made by the committee. We propose to get this information from Mr. Grundy direct, and that is our reason for recalling him to the stand." Caraway Examines Arnold. Senator Caraway examined Mr. Arnold on the Southern Republican Council plan. The document outlining it said that Mr. Hoover's success in four of the Southern States could not be construed as a victory for the Republican party in the South as now constituted. The platform proposed was: First, white leadership; second, protective tariff; third, sound taxation; fourth, flood control; fifth, Southern representation in the Cabinet; sixth, elimination of the negro as a political factor; seventh, revision of election and registrations statutes; eighth, managerial plan for city and country governments; tenth, Southern States Congressional district and precinct committees. The attendance of Mrs. Oscar DePriest of Chicago, wife of the negro member of Congress from Illinois, at a reception given at the White House by Mr. Hoover, was mentioned in a letter written by Mr. Arnold to Vice President Curtis on August 12. According to Arnold, the DePriest incident was a leading issue in an election held in the Third District of Louisiana to fill a vacancy in the House. Mentions De Priest "Affair" to Curtis. the letter of Vice-President Curtis, written on August 12, said, in part: "Some time ago I believe you and I discussed the campaign in the Third Congressional District of Louisiana. The candidacy on the Republican ticket, at a mass meeting largely attended by leading Democrats of that district, was offered to Mr. J. C. Barry, a Republican who could have run without opposition from the Democrats. However, the Republican State organization refused to permit Mr. Barry's name to go on the ticket and put up one of their own number. He was badly defeated at the election last Tuesday. "It may be of some interest to you to know that the leading issue was the De Priest affair at the White House. The campaign orators and writers used Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. De Priest lunching together with telling effect." Mr. Arnold wrote Mr. Muse on December 31, 1928, as follows: "I went with the darkey today to see Vice-President Curtis, and he thought well of our colored Congressman idea, but said it was a matter that should be taken up with Mr. Hoover, that he would talk with Hoover about it. "They all seem to want to get Hoover's idea about it first. Curtis said he thought of getting a better grade of negroes to lead in the South, but I told him that would not be the complete remedy. For "Blackening" Democrats. "Our line of approach is much more acceptable to politicians and to negroes of equalizing by blackening the Democratic party than by white-washing the Republican party. The negroes will go in revolt over the plan of kicking them out of the party, or of leadership. They will have to take themselves out of the way for the present. "Our talk is down the race problem line. They all see that the race problem must be solved first before anything further can be done. We have the best solution yet. "Think you should get Dr. Lewis here on the 10th and start something. We never will get anywhere talking around in circles. If necessary to see Hoover before it starts off, then go see him and get his decision." Dr. Lewis was identified as Dr. Burdette Lewis, of Jacksonville, Fla. Senator Walsh asked Mr. Arnold the date of his call on Vice-President Curtis, and the name of the negro who accompanied him. The witness could not recall. Do you make so many calls on the Vice-President that you cannot remember what is his particular one?" Snator Walsh asked. "Oh, no, I would not say this." Mr. Arnold replied. In the Arnold letter in which the statement was made that Mr. Hoover did not "understand" the South, written to Mr. Muse on January 1st, it was said that the council plan of political organization in the South "seemed to swing around" the President. How He Thought Hoover Stood "Hoover seems to have given the impression among his associates that he is personally interested in the South and wants to handle it," Mr. Arnold wrote. "I have no doubt he THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VOLUME All In The Same Boat By Albert T.

The crux of it all is the negro question, which the regular Republican party cannot solve; they have tried it for fifty years and made no progress." Arnold concluded: "I found Vice-President Curtis thinking that a better class of negro leaders would solve it. What is the use for us to convince them by talking as though they realize—of course, they do not know their subject. The negro is with us, of course, and that helps." Senator Caraway asked the witness if he had ever talked with President Hoover about "blackening" the Democratic party of the South. Mr. Arnold replied that he had never talked to the Vatican. The Vatican did not think much of the idea of organizing a Southern Republican council, did he? "asked Mr. Caraway. "I do not know to what extent he would have gone along with the council; he preferred that we should continue our tariff association work," was the reply.

Heart Heart Talk By Dr. John Joseph Daines AWAKENING Five o'clock in the morning. The hum of a motor comes in at my open window . . . a realization that the new day has arrived exactly on time. Other motors rattle in their loose running gears; the growl—the treble of human voices add to the evidence that the morning is on—the town is awakening! Soon the blare will be on, the rush, the helter-skelter, mad chase for daily bread, if not more—the town is getting on its feet, after a night of rest; the swelling energy manifests itself; the odor of browning bacon—the aroma of delicious coffee—the snap of the electric toaster. . . . A new sheet is in the typewriter; thoughts come cheerily in the sweet morning air—the town is awakening. An area of concerted effort, the contact of elbow with elbow, the purr of breathing in unison, the glow of the municipal soul. Every man at his post—the day is on. Routine may become deadly. A town afflicted with routine may be walking in its sleep—and that is evidence of a nervous affection which might be improved by treatment. A town never gets anywhere that has an epidemic of sonambulism. Maybe the town is not awake after all, in spite of its noise and grind. My town is awake, if you will permit personalities. It is alert to grasp every idea calculated to bring civic good to its people. It is not committed to a policy of every man for himself and devil take the hindmost. Health, morals and mutual benefit are included in our demands as well as our prayers. It makes a town when its people feel like that. Schools, churches, society, civilization are our inspiration. Good citizens make a good town where good people love to stay. I love to hear a reference to "the old home town," where the wakefulness was genuine, not pathologic. Individuals may awaken—but the community spirit must awaken before the town is real. Some of us might well study the habits of the prairie dog! Do You Love Health? If so, Call and See L. J.

Sunday School Lesson International Sunday School Lesson for November 24 THE HIGHER PATRIOTISM Jonah 1:1:3; 3:1:5; 4:5:11 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. The entire book of Jonah is the general subject matter for study this week. Many seem to find only the problem of the whale in this very interesting book of four chapters. The fact is that "whale" does not appear therein. Certain sea monsters, however, have the capacity to take in a man. Read the book through again and look for the missionary import that through its 48 verses. Then try to write as much in 1,328 words on the great missionary enterprise. It is a wonderful book and contains profound teachings. Study the prayer of Jonah as recorded in chapter 2 and you will find many helpful truths as you, a penitent, approach the throne of Jonah. Jehovah. It is easy to acquire the attitude of self-satisfaction in the midst of many blessings and at the same time forget that there is a great world at large that needs attention. Privilege brings serious responsibilities which must be discharged rightfully in the sight of the Great Judge. It is commendable to be a loyal patriot, but we must also be continuously pre- and discharge our responsibilities as a world citizen. pared to discharge our responsibility. While Jonah was one of the earliest prophets he was decidedly provincial in his thinking. Further he wanted to deliver his messages to Jewry only, forgetful that all the children of the earth are beloved by the Father. When told to go to Nineveh and preach against that city because of its wickedness the landsmaster hastened to Joppa and took shipping for the region of present Spain. There were stormy times, in more ways than one, until God's servant confessed his sin of running away from duty and was ready to hear another commission. That second call was to do the very thing he had escorted to avoid. had sought to avoid. A guilty conscience makes one fearful. When Jonah told the Ninevites about their sickness and the punishments due from the only God, penitence was expressed and the threatened punishment was revoked. Then petulant Jonah again near Nineveh to pity himself because his threats had not been carried out. Rather, he should have rejoiced that God had not thrown him and had then forgiven in His overflowing love. It took the active parable of the gourd to make Jonah see how would be effective. Note in particular how God calls attention to the more than 120,000 innocent children within the city. They clearly were not responsible for the sins of their parents though they were about to suffer the Mankind is learning this higher patriotism and the love for creen helps in acquiring the lesson.

II [ MIAMI, FLA. —The City of Miami shakes off trouble as easily as a spainiel casts water from its dripping hide, and now Miami is ready to welcome visitors with its most interesting and varied winter, and with the greatest entertainment program in its brilliant history. No city in the United States has suffered from as many apparent setbacks in recent years as Miami. Hurricanes, floods, booms, busts, embargoes, canards, scare heads, and false envelopes yet have failed to arrest its progress. Miami is today the largest city in Florida, according to a Department of Commerce report. Yet it is the youngest of the large cities of the South, having been founded by Henry M. Flaggler in 1896. REAL FREEDOM IN MIAMI The reason is that its people love the health-giving mellow climate and brilliant sunshine. They love the tropical palms, the brilliant flowers and ever present water vistas, and the universal green of verdant growth. They love the city itself for its glorious triumphs over misfortune, and its lofty clean white buildings, unmarred by soot or dirt, towering above her azure bay. They love Miami for the fight she has made for success. And, above all, they love the freedom which permits everyone to follow his harmless inclinations, however unusual they may be. You can drive in your automobile to the beach, and in your bathing suit, hop in the water from your car, and drive back home still in said bathing suit and no one thinks of objecting. You can wear a red shirt, pink trousers, and a green hat, to the races, if you feel that way, and no crowd will attend to tag you down the street. You can spend as much money as you like or as little. You can load the kids in the fliver on a Sunday, take your own lunch, and spend a day on an unfrequented tropical beach at the cost of one gallon of gasoline, or you can take in the horse races, the Jat Alai games, the dog races, deep sea fishing, dances, patronize the most modish ships, and spend money till the cows come home. No one will stop you and almost everyone will give you a smile. COULDN'T DRIVE MIAMI LOVERS AWAY There are over 160,000 people in Miami who would rather live here than anywhere else in the world. They think the hurricanes and other highly circulated disasabilities are not half so bad as the pneumonia or neuritis or sleet up North in winter or prostration that comes with the blistering heat of a Northern summer Besides strong hurricanes are exceptional. In the recorded history of Florida there have been but two in Miami. It is now known that solid construction can cope with them as it has for two generations in Key West. The annual floods in parts of the Everglades kill all the bugs and revitalize the land. When they subside the richest vegetable crops are grown in winter on the lately inundated lands. When you read that a bank has gone busted in Florida it doesn't mean that the whole population is down at the heel. There are tens of thousands of families in Florida who have lived in comfort and luxury for thirty years or more from the produce of rich soil. "Honks" With Glee Things were so well with this usually somber pelican at the London zoo that he gave vent to his feelings with leud 'bonkings' and attracted the attention of most of the visitors.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to make Miami the most beautiful tropical city in the world. There is still much work to be done, great drainage and irrigation projects to be completed, huge dykes to be erected, harbors to be deepened, more roads to be built, for Miami is the metropolis of America's last great frontier and even now that conquest is going forward.

New steamer lines link her with Latin-American and Gulf Coast Ports. It is very difficult to puf into words the depth of affection which even hardened business men feel for Miami, or to realize what their zeal can accomplish. This writer has traveled about Miami and Florida for the past eight years and has traversed every part of the state penetrating to the most remote settlements, crossing the keys and being surrounded by them, visiting orchards and quarries and preserving plants. Everywhere he has found people of all classes anx- --- L lous to tell the real facts about Florida as they first them, and express their admiration for Miami, their love for Florida. NO STORMS IN WINTER Miami is as lovely ever. No real damage was done by last fall's storm. The palms and flowers of Royal Palm Park are as glorious as ever. Some of the movies shown of last fall's storm were newly taken two years ago. Reasonable damage were even worse on Elysian Boulevard we were in. There are no high winds in Miami in winter time, the latest date of an equinoxial storm ever recorded was October 20. There is very little rain. But winter in Miami is far more agreeable than is summer in the Northern states, in my opinion. No one has ever suffered from a sunstroke in Miami, summer or winter. BIG RACE AND AVIATION MEETS Thus it is that Miami, more joyful and cheerful than ever, is preparing to welcome record crowds this winter. Amusements and sports of every sort, horse races, Jai Alai, tennis, golf, dog races, yacht races, aviation meets, including the presence of two drigible air ships throughout the winter are only a part of the diversion. There will be baseball and football in the new Stadium being built by the city. The crowning event for those who like this sort of thing will be a prize fight held under the austries of Madison Square Garden with the famous Jack DO WOMEN oldmire YOU USE HAVENUM BADY PYRAMID PRODUCTS @ PITTSBURGH M.1 DON'T BE POOLED!

Any person who markets intelligently can live at low cost and still enjoy the place of a semi-tropical life. Winter before last the writer hired a well-furnished four-room flat for $35 per month. Being joined by others, a very large house was then engaged at Coconut Grove near Miami for $60 per month, furnished. It took a little time shopping around to cut the food bill for four persons to $12 to $15 per week, but it was accomplished. By riding out of the country you could get a bushel of grape fruit or oranges at about 2 cents each. All this is stated not to mislead people. As a general proposition it may be said that you can rent nice accommodations for less in Miami than in most of the great cities of the North, and, on the other hand, the sky is the limit if you have money to burn. CITY OFFICIALS HAVE NEW PLAN The City of Miami has done what no other great resort city in the world has ever attempted. It has entered into contracts with the apartment house owners of the city who own or control some six thousand apartments to offer their apartments for lease at a given rate for a period of six months. The six months can begin at any time. The leases run from $300 to $500 and up for the season, that is the average from $50 to $150 per month for an apartment. This is good for the apartment house owner as it helps fill his apartments for the whole season. This is better satisfied with a lower rental for the apartment. It is also a protection to the visiting public who are assured of a nice place at a low rate when they take it under the auspices of the city. STAY TILL COLD WEATHER IS OVER The six months lease is to promote a longer season. As a matter of fact most people who go down to Florida to get rid of colds, or neuritis, to build up their health or that of their children come North too soon. They leave Miami when the weather is still sleety or cold, when bronchial trouble are prevalent in the North for it. It not the dry cold of winter, but in the breaking up of winter that is most apt to result in coughs and colds. It is dreary indeed to come to a still sleety North after the brilliant sunshine of spring. Florida landscape. There is a sei spring in Florida; flowers bloom and trees send out new leaves; the huge buttressed ceypsis sends out its tiny shads. Armies and regiments of birds that like sensible beings have passed winter in the Caribbean Sea join with the great number of bird visitors in Florida, and remain there for a season until they are quite sure it is safe to go further North. Many birds remain all the year in Florida. WONDERFUL SCENES FOR TOURISTS The multitude of new roads in Florida affords opportunity for a marvelous study of wild life, to traverse a mysterious Everglades, or journey down into the keys where almost every tidal pool is filled with brilliantly colored fish. Marvelous bird life is to be encountered for the birds have few enemies in Florida though in Jamaica and Cuba the mongoose has almost exterminated the birds A few good baths in the ocean of Miami will provide most any man of their feet is filled with cold water on their feet. The crowds will surely come in greater numbers than ever to the Magic City this winter. Already advance reservations are very惠y for Miami will be stirring with activity and interest for everyone. DEVIL-MAY-CARE by ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY Fourth Instalment **What happened before** At a party in Palm Beach given by Mr. Cooper Clay, Leason, an attorney, meets Lucy Harkins, known as Devil-May-Mare because of her adventurous, everful life. In a game in which she wins by winnning, she has a great reputation as a successful bracer-breaker. Leason is a bit jittery, but she has a great reputation as his best friend the Minerva, and she accedes in order not to be "quitter." Asked if she is sorry that he won her company, Lucy says she is not sorry. She tells the three people she tells her to stop looking regretfully after Leason. Aboard Steven's boat, the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love, then she pleads with her to help him escape and she becomes afraid of him. He says he will never let her go from the Minerva until she accepts him to escape him, she leaves him in a short distance, wawning a short distance under water. Lucy reaches land and meets Dr. Kevin Barkley in the island. He takes care of her and takes her home. Everyone is worried about her, and when she meets Stevens he is frantic, regrateful and still ardent in proclaiming his victory. Now Go On With the Story "We start from here, then; I took you away with me; I frightened you; I drove you to almost certain death. But . . we start from there. Is that it?" "From where else could we start?" she countered. "And you . . . you can't forgive me, Lucy, Hardness." Lucky Hartkiss! "Can you make me? That seems to be true," she answered. be the question," she answered. He rose from his chair, fatigue dropping from him like a bath-gown from a bather on the beach. That amazing virility which was himself, but which this morning had been absent, returned to him in a rush. "I don't like equal chances," he cried. "I want the odds against me. Two to one, ten to one, a hundred to one!" "They are," she reminded him. "And . . . and what shall we tell . . . People are curious." "I came home," she said calmly, "in my bathing-suit. If your crew and Modane—" "They'll say nothing," he promised. "And, naturally, we won't!" she laughed. "And you'll see me, speak" to me, as though nothing had happened?" "I'll do what Fate directs," she promised. He shook his head. "You're no saint, Lucy Harkness. If you were. I'd not love you. You're flesh and wavy hair and long lashes and pink and tan skin, and . . . human! You can't feel me. You're going to do something . . . "Which ought to make lie interesting, Tim," she chuckled. "Trying to outguess a woman is hard enough under ordinary circumstances, but under these . . . But perhaps your blood has cooled. In emotion you want things, promise things, do things that contemplation death was an adventure which death welcomed. Now a flirtation seems dangerous. Well, go your own, Tim. Stevens." "I'll go yours," he cried. "The way of Fate." She laughed. "We'll see." "You hate me. You'll get even, some way . . ." He paused, too puzzled to continue. "Of course I hate you," she returned evenly. "I think you're low, bestial. But what has that to do with Fate?" she asserted. He held out a tentative hand. She shocked her head. "Not yet a while, Tim. Perhaps never. You know, after all, you didn't trump my ace, or move as I putted. You did—tried to do—a thing that you must have known would have caused me to kill myself. But enough of that. We start again." After he left she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. "We start again," she murmured. "But where shall I lead him?" The curved lips straightened harshly, and the hands that rested upon the arms of the wicker chair suddenly gripped them. Then she relaxed. She was able to summon a perfectly natural smile to her lips as, in response to the noise of the iron knocker upon the gate, a Jap admitted Leeson to the patio. A nice-looking boy, she told herself as he advanced eagerly. Clean, well built, and enthusiastic. She liked this latter quality in him. She liked fresh eagerness in the viewpoint of life. Too much of it had gone from her; perhaps because the people she knew, played around with were too sophisticated, too enmuilted with the business of living. Perhaps she could regain some of it from Leeson. "You didn't come back to Mrs. Clary's last night," he accused, as he bent over her hand. "Did you expect me to?" she inquired. "Of course. I hoped so." "But you lost," she said. "On a foul," she reminded her. She shrugged. She explained that out last night. I like winners, as I told you." "Did Stevens keep you away?" he asked. She straightened in her chair. "You're no saint, Lucy Harkness. If you were I'd not love you." "That's a strange question," she told him. He brushed his forhead nervously. "Well, Mrs. Clary was worried, and I don't like Sevens, you know." "Losers never care for victors," she mocked. "It isn't that . . . alone. But when Stevens came and fainted in Mrs. Clary's patio . . . and you hadn't answered the telephone . . ." "After parties I regain my girlish color by plenty of sleep," she said. "And aren't you being a trifle persisten, Mr. Leeson? I'm not used to cross-examination, or insinuations that "You're no saint, Lucy Harkness I'm unable to take care of myself. What makes you think that Stevens, or anyone, could take me anywhere again against my will? He blushed nervously. "I didn't mean to be . . . impertinent. But . . . Well, I don't care whether it's good form, or being done, or anything like that. Stevens's bad, Miss Harless, I mean . . . a rotter. And when you go off, with him, and don't return . . ." "The intimation is that I am also bad, a rotter, but it?" she returned. "Not at all! His blush was painful. "You need . . . No, you don't know . . . how could you? . . . my opinion of you." "It might be to lie, sitting, though," she soiled. "And I almost believe cottage trust should give it." she scoffed. "And I almost believe you trunk can give it." "You don't mean frank; you mean uniprophied, Miss Harkness," he said. "Well, I suppose I am. I'm not used to . . . well, the sort of people, the sort of things I meet down here." "Why not run back home, then, where every one is nice and wholesome?" "Now you're not being you. You know I'm not critical, or condemning. I'm merely explaining, I. . . I am a lawyer, Miss Harkness. And I ought to tell about Stevens." "How ethical!" she murmured. "Stevens is a client of your firm, and I am not. Therefore, you will tell me about him." "Professional ethics can't be permitted to conflict with common decency," he declared. "And he isn't a client any longer. The firm have telegraphed that, owing to many things, he is no longer a client. They asked me to remain down here a while; ordered me to . . . to get in touch with him, to get explanations of certain matters, to settle up affairs with him." "And you, out of common decency—was that it?—tell me, who have no interest in the affairs of Mr. Stevens or your firm, that the latter is too holy to deal with the former. Stick to professional ethics, Mr. Leeson; they will get you farther than common decency, it seems to me. Professional ethics are laid down for you; you don't have to guess at them. But common decency is open to interpretation, and a cad will interpret it according to his caddishness." "That is not merely unfair; it is dishonest," he said. His color, his embarrassment had vanished. He was not the nervous youth who had entered the patio, but a cool and collected attorney, willing and able to challenge her, to pick up where she left. "My isn't she, he demanded. What a must be involved a must not protect another man. He must protect the woman." "You think I need protection?" she asked cooley. "This man Stevens is a beast; any woman would need protection from him, and almost any man who wasn't forewarned. And I . . . isn't anything fair in love or war?" "Is there a war?" she asked. "Perhaps there's love," he retorted. "We met last night," she reminded him. "And again now," he said. "And about Stevens?" "There's going to be a warrant issued for his arrest, to-day, unless he settles a certain matter. And he can't settle. It's for a quarter of a million cash. That he stole. That's why I ```markdown ``` THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page come, caddishy, to you, to warri you not to have anything to do with him." "Did you tell he'd borrow from me?" she asked idly. "Oh, I didn't mean to say all this!" he cried. "I . . . I want to see . . . you. And I'd worried, as Mrs. Clary had done; and then . . . you defend Stevens, and . . . Well, I've told you." "Most unethically, and not even common decency. Your ex-client-" "To my present client." He smiled. "You didn't know? Your lawyers, Daddo and Rox, have just joined our firm. Another reason why I am staying longer than I'd intended. The s. If you were I'd not love you." firm—the new firm, Maddox, Thamer, Roe, Wilson, Crewe and Lovejoy—telegraphed me this morning. "Oh," she said. * * * * * She hid a sigh of relief when lunch- en ended. Here formality ceased; one went to the room and at hazard or roulette forgot one's hostess, one's guests. She played a while at a while, then was conscious of some one standing over her. She turned, to meet Leeson's intense gaze. "Hello!" she said. He knew the etiquette of roulette. "Don't let me disturb you," he said hastily. She shrugged, bet her last few chips, lost, and rose from the table. "No need to concentrate on the wheel when one's luck is vile. I'm through. Have you been lucky?" "I can't afford to play," he said. "I came to luncheon, and am just looking on. Stevens," and his voice sank to a husky whisper, "is to be arrested at four." "Why that hour instead of another?" she asked. She was hardly conscious that her every muscle was tense. I laughed laughed. "After all, Stevens has been our client. To demand a quarter of a million from him on the spot is going too far. To demand it within a few hours is slightly different. Stevens was given that amount of money for a definite purpose. Either he used it for that purpose or should have it accessible. He didn't use it. Therefore he must have it. Unless he's stolen it, converted it to his own use. This, we happen to know, he has done. But the police here won't act on the moment. He asked, an hour or so ago, until five o'clock. Said he had the money, but was busy on other things. At five he'd pay. But he can't." She hastened from the room, secured her wrap from the maid, and went out into the blazing sunshine, so incredible in February. The doorman beckoned for a chair, and stepping into it, she ordered that she be taken to her bank. "What's my balance?" she asked the paying teller. He looked it up and told her that she had something over forty thousand dollars on deposit. "How much can I borrow?" she asked. The teller summoned the president; there was a ten-minute conference. From the vaults Lucy brought securities. The loan she asked was quickly arranged. "And there'll be no word of this leak out?" she asked. The bank officials assured her of their silence. "I'll take it in cash," she said. Well, those who came to Palm Beach did many strange things, and Lucy Harkness was called Devil-May-Care. She had deposited four hundred thousand dollars of the best securities for a loan of two hundred and fifty thousand. If she wanted the cash . . . Perhaps she was buying property from an owner who demanded money, not a check. Perhaps . . . A thousand perhaps suggested themselves, including the possibility of blackmail, but why annoy a good client? She departed with a satchel crammed with money. Continued Next Week By Farmer Smith "Little fishie, In the brook. Reading from A little book." It was Bobbie Rabbit "making up" a poem. "What in the world are you doing?" asked Billie. "What's the matter?" asked Bobbie. "I thought 'brook' rhymed with 'hook'". "So it does," replied Bobbie. "But, I'm a poet and I can do as I want to and I can spell as I want to and—" "What are you talking about?" asked Billie. "I'll start over, if you want me to," said Bobbie. "That will be poetic license," laughed Billie. At the word "dog", Billie scampered away and was soon lost in the woods. After a bit he sat down with: "Whew! That was a narrow escape." By and bye along came Bobbie who asked: "What in the world did you run for when I said 'dog'" "That was poetic license," laughed Billie. "I don't like dogs." "— AND ME A --- 90 Hobby-horses may go, and miniature airplanes may come, electrical trains and monkeys on sticks have their fascinations, but the doll and the little red wagon go on forever! Out of the countless letters to Santa Claus this year, millions will be requests for dolls—and for wagons. The rest will be for mechanical toys, ships, airplanes, trains, and balls. So says Jessie M. Hoever Director of Home Economics at Montgomery Ward & Co., who has access to files of Santa Claus mail over a period of 50 years. "A real doll that opens and shuts its eyes is still the most adored object to little girls." Miss Hoever says. "Preferably a baby doll—though the popularity of mama dolls and character dolls is great."

But they differ about the dolls that say 'Mama'. Some like talking dolls and some don't. In general, American-made dolls have pleasanter voices than the German-made dolls who say 'Mama'. "Doll equipment, buggies, clothes, ironing boards, and kitchen cabinets can be the favor of little girls." The field of toys for little boys is much greater than that for girls. Their tastes are varied and eccentric—but they hold true to one stable object of affection—the wagon. Next in favor come the mechanical toys, ships, planes, building toys. "Teddy-bears are favorites with both boys and girls. Their popularity has been unchanging through the past thirty-five years." Milady's coat this season will be of the charming new wrap-around style shown in the illustration, with shawl collar and swirl cuffs. Of necessity the coats will be longer . . . a natural concession to the new mode in dresses. Of course, the new coats are all versions of the new silhouette and designed for the mode of slender chic, showing the new flares or slightly molded straight lines. Among the favorite furs are beaver, lapin, caracul, Persian lamb, raccoon, kit fox, Canadian wolf, badger and Russian lynx. Fabrics are varied, and include Kashmere and suede, broadcloths, velour de noir and imported tweeds. Individually appropriate fur trimmings are the boast of the shops, so Milady is confronted with a great many styles of trimmings to choose from. Indeed, this idea of individual fitness in all things is gaining a greater and greater hold on the World of Fashion. Perhaps a revolt against the sameness of most things . . . who knows?
