THE RICHMOND PLANET PYTHIAN BATTLE IS WAXING WARM. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green Answers Ohio. VOLUME XLVII NO. 2 PY IS Supren Office of the SUPREME CHANCELLOR of The Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia S. W. GREEN, Supreme Chancellor 507 Pythian Street, New Orleans, La. AN OPEN LETTER New Orleans, La., Nov. 11, 1929 Sir Robert B. Barcus, Grand Chancellor, 867 Pythian Temple, Mt. Vernon Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir and Brother: Copy of your Proclamation No. 3, dated October 19, 1929, was received at this office on the 28th ultimo, and same carefully read. Prior to receiving copy of your Proclamation, I had read in the Pittsburgh Courier on Friday, October 20, 1929—three days before receiving copy of your Proclamation—the complete text of your Proclamation or copious extracts therefrom, which included all of the salient points contained in your proclamation. It seems as though you had sent a copy of your Proclamation to the public press before a copy was mailed to this office. I note that there are a few grains of wheat among the bushels of chaff contained in your Proclamation. I note the following in the first paragraph of your Proclamation: "For the fourth time within the past ten years, levied another new tax of One Dollar per member against the members of the Subordinate Lodges for the purpose of raising money for the National Pythian Temple located in Chicago, Illinois." Since you have been a representative from the Grand Jurisdiction of Ohio, beginning with the Session held at Topeka, Kansas, in the year 1921, and have attended all of the Sessions of the Supreme Lodge since that period, you are certainly aware that the statement that the Supreme Lodge has levied a tax of One Dollar per member for the fourth time within ten past ten years is not true. On the contrary, the Supreme Lodge of the Kingdoms of Fythias of North America, etc., has not levied a tax of One Dollar per member for Grand Lodges but once during the entire history of the Order. That levy of one Dollar per member was at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1925, and then covered a taxation of four years as follows: **Official Proceedings of the Twenty-third Biennial Session held at Louisville, Kentucky, August, 1925, page 284, Section No. 8— "Be it enacted by Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, a corporation of the District of Columbia, the Supreme Lodge thereof, in regular Biennial Convention assembled, according to the laws of the Knights of Pythias aforesaid in the City of Louisville, State of Kentucky, that each Grand Lodge be, and it is hereby assessed upon each member of its Jurisdiction, and each member of Subordinate Lodges under the immediate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Lodge, the sum of One Dollar, payable on the first day of January, 1926, the same to be for the benefit of the Pythian Temple Souterian Department, and SUCH PYTHIAN TEMPLE AND SANITARY TAX OF TWENTY-FIVE CENTS ($.25) PER ANNUM IS HEREBY SUSPENDED AND ANNULLED FOR THE PERIOD OF SUCH FOUR YEARS." The tax of twenty-five cents per annum referred to in the above enactment was voted at New York in 1923. No other tax of One Dollar per member has been assessed by the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., in any one year against Grand Lodges except as above. The same is fully borne out by the records. The records will also show that you as a representative from the Grand Lodge of Ohio have tried to abolish all tax for the purpose of occupying property by the Supreme Lodge, whether the amount was One Dollar per member per year, or twenty-five cents per member per year. $^{*}$ Official Proceedings of the Twenty-first Biennial Session held at Topka, Kansas, in 1921, pages 328-330, shows the following resolution in part signed by Robert B. Barcus, Chas. A. Cottill, W. T. Nelson, W. L. Anderson, Supreme Representatives from Ohio: "Now, therefore, be is resolved by the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, India and Australia, the Supreme Lodge thereof, that the Pythian Temple Sanitarium Tax levied at the Session of the Supreme Lodge held at Athenic City, New Jersey, August 19-23, 1919, be, and the same is hereby, repealed and that no further collection of the same shall be made by the Supreme Lodge, and that all monies heretofore paid by the Grand Lodges within this Supreme Jurisdiction under said act be refunded to the said Grant Lodges as per their respective pro rata share." Resolution No. 2, signed by Robert B. Barec, Chas. A. Cottrill, W. T. Nelson, W. L. Anderson, Supreme Representatives from Ohio, reads in part as follows: "Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, that said Supreme Lodge proceed to pay forthwith from its treasury or the treasury of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium Department to the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Ohio, the pro rata share of the Pythian Temple Fund earnings or all ronies deposited by the Grand Lodge of Ohio, in the Pythian Temple Sanitarium Commission, or Department, from the 26th day of February, 1916, to August 16, 1921, according to the amount of money deposited by the said Grand Lodge of Ohio, as evidenced by its certificates of indebtedness of the Supreme Lodge held in accordance with Paragraph 91, page 74, Supreme Statutes." Resolution No. 3 at the same Session and signed by the same Representatives on page 332, reads in part as follows: "Be it resolved, That the Pythian Temple Commission be, and is hereby, abolished, and its powers, duties and privileges be, and are hereby, vested in the Supreme Chancellor, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal and Supreme Master of Exchequer; and further, that the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal shall be vested with authority to perform all of the several duties as heretofore performed by the Secretary of the Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Commission, and upon the passage of this Continued on page 4.

Vicious Conditions Exist Conditions in this establishment, which must care for an average of more than 300 patients, have been described as vicious and deplorable. Located in a ramshackle six-story building, half of which has been condemned as unsafe, sadly overcrowded, equipped with one decrept elevator, usually out of commission, I narrow aisles, insufficient stairways and dirty, makehift wards, it is charged by the colored citizen, the a fortile tent where fire hazards are said to constitute a constant menace to the lives of the patients. Sixty years ago a general city boad issue of $7,000,000 was voted which provided $1,200,000 for a hospital for colored people. The bond issue received solid Negro support in the election through the promise of relief held out. HERO DROWNED: MEDAL Carnegie Hero Fund Recognizes Life-Saving Effort of Prof. Lynn P. Collins Tallahassee, Florida, Nov—In recognition of the heroism of the late Prof. Lynn P. Collins, who lost his life last year in the attempt to save a woman from drowning, a bronze medal has been awarded by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission to his widow, a teacher at Florida A. & M. College, this city. This was one of four medals awarded to Floridians, out of a total of fifty-one awards made by the Commission at its recent meeting. Prof. Collins, then a teacher at Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, lost his life at Iowa City on July 4, 1928, in attempting to save Mrs. C. K. Reed from drowning in the Iowa River. Overcome by her struggles, Collins was unable to make the shore and both went down. The grand old Fourth Baptist Church, corner 28 h and 11 st, of which Dr. J. W.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE DESTROYS HOME (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Nov.—The home of Prof. Jesse, a teacher in the Central High School, was destroyed last week by fire, unknown parties set the place on fire. Prof. Lawrence was just completing his home and ready to move in. Mr. William Sutton, son of our great and good friend, Samuel J. Sutton, of San Antonio, Texas, called on us. He was attending the Hampton-Union football game and was in fine trim. We are always glad to hear from Sutton. New York, Nov. 22—Fred C. Knollenberg, retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as counsel in the second Texas White Primary case (Nixon v. Candon and Knolle), arising out of an attempt to bar Negro voters from the primaries through action of state party committees, advises the N. A. A. C. P. that the case has now been filed in the United States District Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The first Texas White Primary Case established the unconstitutionality of the law barring Negroes from the primaries. The second case, which may go on appeal to the United Ctates Supreme Court, is expected to outlaw the barring of Negro voters from primaries by party committee. $200 IN HIGH SCHOOL PRIZES $100 For Best Student Paper; $100 For School The Commission on interracial Co-operation, with headquarters at 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga., announces the offer of a cash prize of $100 for the high school pupil submitting the best paper on "America's Tenth Man", and a prize of like amount for the school making the best use of the Commission's "Tenth Man" project. The contest is national in scope and all pupils of high schools and junior high schools are eligible to compete. It closes April 1, 1930. A 5,000-word pamphlet of source material has been prepared by the Commission and will be furnished free to any one interested, together with full information as to the conditions of the contest. The announced purpose of these prizes is to encourage as widely as possible the study of the Negro's part in American history, which, according to the Commission, is much more interesting than is generally supposed. It is believed that such a study will be helpful to the children of both races, promoting more intelligent and objective attitudes on the one side, and developing wholesome pride of race on the other. The Commission asks the co-operation of high school principals and teachers, and also invites correspondence from pupils who may be interested. PRICE FIVE OENTS s Ohio. supreme Reverses der Verdict New York, Nov. 22.—The Supreme Court of Appeals in Virginia, has reversed the conviction on a charge of murder, carrying with it a sentence to life imprisonment, of Thomas Nelson, a colored man. The appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals, for which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People contributed $100.00 was made because it was felt Nelson's guilt had not been proved. This contention Justice R. H. H. Chichester upheld, stating in his opinion that "the record fails to point out the perpetrator of the crime with that clearness and certainty required by law." The murder in question was committed on the night of August 5, 1927, of J. H. Allen, an elderly merchant of Albermarle County, and of Mrs. Willie Bothwell, his business partner. Bloodhounds put on the trail went in a direction away from the home of the accused. ROW OVER RABBIT CAUSES MURDER (By The Associated Negro Paes) Donalds, S.

Everitt, president of Ward & Co. Women's dominating influence on advertising is even more marked in the early days of the mail-order business than it is now. Everitt pointed out, "For example," he said, "the entire 177 items listed in the Ward catalog of 1874—the first bound mail-order catalog ever issued—were for women only, comprising dress goods, danners and cotton goods. The primitive stages of advertising are also strikingly shown by the fact that the catalog contains neither index nor illustrations. "Agitation over the plight of the farmer was just as pronounced in 1874 as it is at this time, and the farmer's purchasing power was just as important a factor in the plans of manufacturers and advertisers, this early catalog discloses, since its sales appeal is addressed directly to 'patrons of husbandry and farmers' clubs' and it announces that Montgomery Ward & Co. has been organized on the 'Grand Grange principle'—do away with the middleman as far as possible. The catalog issued in 1878 listed 2,500 items of merchandise, including dress materials of bustles, and sand Victoria accessories, as 'nubbies, gants, 'gants' shirt blooms, 'carpet warp, and 'candle winking.'

The feminine influence was just as big a factor in the merchandising of 55 years ago as it is today, for all the 177 items listed in that pioneer catalog were for women buyers! reflected in the fact that four entire pages of the 152 in this catalog are devoted to the "button department," the most stylish character, and an added appeal to fashion plates of the day were the brass buttons enhancing the glories of the various outer garments. THE MEN When it comes to the planning and building of industrial sites, it is necessary to have vision, together with years of experience in this highly specialized field of the building industry. The Bonanno family, father and five sons, is a family of vision, as well as a family of action. Just as Irving Bush visioned and built a famous Bush Terminal, this family is building the North Jersey Industrial Terminal at North Bergen, New Jersey. Before the actual approval of the new Hudson River Bridge, the Bonannos, with thirty years' experience as specialists in industrial work, began the development of their 48 acres on the Bergen Turn Pike, less than 20 minutes from 42d Street, the heart of New York's business section. With unexcelled railroad facilities and steamships plying to all parts of the world right at their door, no more advantageous site can be found in the Metropolitan area.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Sun bathing originated as a fad here three years ago. Since then the fad has developed into a habit for a goodly percentage of the tourists who come here each season to escape the chill winds and the biting zero weather of the cold northland. Sun backs and heavy tan coasts continue more in style than ever before and this winter will see the vogue taken up by thousands of newcomers. No longer do sun bathers attract the curious to the bathing beaches. Backs barred to the caresses of Old Sol are common over the miles of sand stretches. In the solaris provided by the municipality of Old Sol sun bathers, are afforded for those who wish to bare their entire bodies to the healing rays of the sun.

THE YEARNET Published Every Saturday by John Mitchell at All North Fourth Street, Whitewood JOHN MITCHELL, JR... EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Richmoor Firginia, as second class matter June Year ..... $ 1.90 Hix Month's ..... $ 1.90 Three Months ..... .48 Foreign Subscriptions ..... $ 1.90 SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 30 1929 THE FINANCIAL SITUATION October 24, 1929, will be regarded always in the world's history as one of the most remarkable periods this or any other country has ever known. It has now been about thirty-one days since this remarkable financial catechism took place. And yet no one of the world's financiers has come forward with a reasonable explanation of how values on guilt edge securities shrunk to the alarming limit of thirty-two thousand million dollars within a period of three weeks. What does this mean? An individual who had stock valued at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars would enter into a contract, would go to his bank to get five thousand dollars in cash on a note, the bank would go to the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank would return the note marked "no good." This would end the contract. This was why President Hoover called the leading financiers of the country to meet in conference in Washington to say what could be done about the situation. We were on the verge of a world panic which could be averted only by a moratorium, that is, by a declaration to force the payment of notes when they become due. What is the cause of all this? Up to this moment there is not a financier who has been signaled out to rive an answer. The Federal Reserve Board gave a hint a few months ago that the crash was coming. The indications were that they saw it coming but could not avert it. When it did come they were as powerless as a two-year-old child. They ran to cover. Let us hope for the best. Confiding white women who had money left to them by their husband's estates and children's estates trusted these bankers and brokers implicitly both for investment and reinvestment. When the guilt edge stock shot down it was natural supposed that they would come up again. The brokers consulted with their clients and bought them in on a low market, thinking that they would make large sums when the market rose again. This did not happen, however, in fact, the best of the stocks guilt edged, which had been holding values for fifty years shut down to the lowest value. This settled the matter. There was something basically wrong. Can President Hoover locate the trouble? We believe not. Supreme Chancellor Green. Continued from page 1 resolution, all laws conflicting there- with are repealed." Page 307 of the Proceedings of the Session of 1921 shows that the above resolutions were disapproved by a vote of 99 against to 3 for it. The records also show that you not only opposed any kind of tax for the purchase of property by the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, but that you as Grand Chancellor refused to pay the tax of twenty-five cents per capita per annum as voted by the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., at its Session held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1919, and refused to collect tax of twenty-five cents per capita per annum in accordance with the laws of the Supreme Lodge until you were forced to do so by withholding the S. A. P. W. from your Grand Jurisdiction. You should sit in your delegation the right to sit in the Supreme Lodge until same was paid. Quoting from your long letter to this office under date of January 19, 1920, as found on pages 113 and 114 of Official Proceedings of 1921, closes as follows: "From what has been said before, the so-called Emergency Tax and Defense Tax and the Pythian Temple Sanitarium Tax upon members of the Subordinate Lodges in Jurisdictions where there are Grand Lodges are all irregular, and the fact that Ohio has been voluntarily paying tax assessments since 1905, at different times, does not obligate it to do so in the future.

"After giving this subject much consideration and study, I can reach no other conclusion but that the Supreme Lodge had no power or authority to collect or levy any tax for this purpose, from members of Subordinate Lodges; likewise neither have I any power or authority to use any money or funds in the treasury in the Grand Lodge of Ohio for the purpose of paying such a tax. I shall, however, present the matter to the Grand Lodge at its next Session, to be held in July, 1920, at Zanville, Ohio, for such action as it may see us to take regarding this matter.—(Signed) Robert B. Barcus, Grand Chancellor." The vote of the Supreme Lodge to levy an assessment of twenty cents per member per annum was taken at St. Louis, Missouri, in 1903, for the purpose of erecting a National Pythian Temple and a Pythian Temple Sanitarium long before you appeared upon the floor of the Supreme Lodge, and perhaps before you became a member of the Order. That tax of twenty cents per member was continued until 1909 at Kansas City, Missouri, when it became necessary to levy a per capita tax of ten cents per member known as the Emergency Fund, to employ counsel to defend the case of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of N. A., etc., Jurisdiction of Georgia, because an injunction in the courts of Georgia had been secured by the white Knights of Pythias to prevent the use of the name, emblems, etc., of the said Knights of Pythias by members of our Supreme Jurisdiction. The funds collected for the erection of a Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium and a National Pythian Temple had to be used in part for the payment of attorneys' fees and court costs in the Georgia case. The Supreme Court of the United States, having decided the Georgia case in our favor on June 10, 1912, we were then free to begin again the collection of the tax for a Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium and a National Pythian Temple. Unfortunately for the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, dissension arose within our ranks by the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of N. A., etc., Jurisdiction of Virginia, through its Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., who refused to pay the Emergency Tax and the same tax subsequently known as the Defense Tax, for the purpose of paying attorneys' fees and court costs in the Georgia case. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was suspended, and they proceeded to secure an injunction to the Supreme Lodge to prevent the Supreme Lodge of foreseen taxes for that Grand Jurisdiction. The case continued in the courts until April, 1919, when the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc., secured a decision in its favor, and the Virginia injunction was dismissed. At the session of the Supreme Lodge held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1919, the Official Proceedings of said session, page 352, reads in part as follows: "Enactment No. 6."—"Be it enacted by the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, the Supreme Lodge thereof, that each TITE, RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, V Grand Lodge be, and the same is hereby, assessed upon each member of its Jurisdiction and each member of Subordinate Lodges under the immediate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Lodge, the sum of twenty-five cents per year for a period of four years, payable on the first day of January of each year, the same to be for the benefit of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium Department." Out of the collection of that fund, the Pythian Temple Sanitarium and Bath House was remodeled and completed with issue of Pythian Temple Bonds in the issue of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. The next assessment of twenty-five cents per capita was made without time limit at the Session held at New York, New York, in 1923, page 335 of the Official Proceedings, and reads as follows: "Be it enacted by the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, Supreme Lodge thereof, in regular convention assembled: That each Grand Lodge be, and it is hereby, assessed upon each member of its Jurisdiction and each member of Subordinate Lodges under the immediate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Lodge, the sum of twenty-five cents a year, payable on the first day of January of each year, the name to be for the benefit of the Pythian Temple Sanjtarium Department." A site for the National Pythian Temple in Chicago, Illinois, was purchased by the late Supreme Chancellor S. W. Starks in 1906, and the Pythian Temple Commission met at Hot Springs, Arkansas, in March, 1908, under the call of the late Supreme Chancellor Starks, and voted to purchase the Crystal Bath House, which was then in operation, and which afterwards was purchased and converted into a Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium, August, 1908, by the present Supreme Chancellor after the death of Supreme Chancellor Starks in April, 1908. Answering your allegations categorically, in Proclamation No. 8, dated October 19, 1929—Proclamation No. 2, Series "L," dated September 10, 1929, by the Supreme Chancellor—"was not a tax of One Dollar per member as you well know, because you sat in the conference of Grand Chancellors at Indianapolis, Indiana, August, 1929, when the proposition was submitted to the Grand Chancellors to purchase the unsold Pythian Temple Bonds, and if the said bonds were purchased, there would be no tax levied against the members to meet the debt against the National Pythian Temple at that time, because the tax of twenty-five cents per member would automatically go into effect in 1929 after a suspension of the aforesaid tax by the vote of the Supreme Lodge at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1925. The Grand Chancellors present refused to purchase the unsold Pythian Temple Bonds amounting to $8217,700.00. The report of the Strepme Chanceller to the Supreme Lodge Session held at Indianapolis, Indiana, August, 1929, among his recommendations are as follows: "(2) I recommend that no special taxes be levied against Grand Lodges, at this time, as the period for the collection of the Annual Pythian Temple Tax will begin under the law, November 1, 1929. "(3) I recommend that Grand Lodges and Grand Courts be requested to purchase the remaining Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Bonds. "(4) I recommend that Grand Lodges and Grand Courts pay four years Pythian Temple Tax in advance, provided they have the funds on hand, and will not be required to tax their members to secure the advanced tax." As the Grand Lodges and the Grand Courts refused to subscribe for the balance of the unsold Pythian Temple Bonds, the Supreme Lodge adopted the following enactment at its Session held at Indianapolis, Indiana, August, 1929: "Whereas, an emergency exists in the premises, therefore, "Be it resolved, by the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, the Supreme Lodge in Biennial Convention assembled, that each Grand Lodge be, and it is hereby, assessed upon each member of its jurisdiction, and each member of its Lodges under the immediate jurisdiction of the Supreme Lodge, the sum of One Dollar, the same to be for the benefit of the Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Department. "Provided, however, that where any Grand Jurisdiction shall pay to the Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Commission an equal amount of such tax for the purchase of Pythian Temple Sanitarium Bonds within ninety (90) days, it shall be relieved from such tax, "That where any Jurisdiction is unable to pay such assessment, in the judgment of the Supreme Chancellor, according to the tenor of this enactment, he shall extend the time for payment." As a lawyer, you knew at the time your Proclamation was written that the above enactment was not a tax of One Dollar per member, but was assessed against the Grand Lodges in the name of a tax so as to require them to purchase Pythian Temple Bonds, which are First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds, and pay interest at six per cent per annum. For every One Hundred Dollars paid by the Grand Lodges or multiples thereof they will receive Pythian Temple First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds. Tax provided at Atlantic City, New Jersey, Session of 1919, of twenty-five cents per capita, that tax for four years was used for remodeling and enlarging the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Tax provided at New York City, New York, Session of 1923, of twenty-five cents per capita, to run indefinitely, to complete the Pythian Temple Tax, was supplemented by a bond issue of Five Hundred Thousand RDollars, and the Grand Lodges and the Grand Courts were requested to invest the surplus funds of their Endowment Departments in Pythian Temple First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds which had been arranged to meet the requirements of the insurance laws of the several States, by issuing bonds of less than fifty per cent value of the real estate and their apportionment for bonds to be purchased by Grand TELLS SKINNY [ OW TO GAIN WEIGHT.

In addition thereto, you also reported amount of bonds owned July 1, 1925, $36,000, and out of that Thirty-six Thousand Dollars, not one dollar was for Pythian Temple Bonds. Up to the writing of this letter, the Grand Lodge of Ohio has not purchased one Pythian Temple Bond, although one Pythian Temple Bond has issued bonds to the National Hundred Thousand Dollars against the National Pythian Temple at Chicago, Illinois, and two Hundred Thousand Dollars against the Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Tax provided at Louisville, Kentucky, Session of the Supreme Lodge of 1925, of four years at twenty-five cents per member required in advance, which is one of the few grains of wheat among the bushels of chaff found in your Proclamation. Tax provided at Chicago, Illinois, Session of 1927, of One Dollar per capita tax levied to complete the National Pythian Temple in Chicago, Illinois. That enactment may be found in the Proceedings of the Twenty-fourth Biennial Session held at Chicago, Illinois, in 1927, page 486, and reads as follows: "(12) Whereas, the National Pythian Temple is in the course of construction to the extent of enclosure; and Whereas, it is imperative that the work of the said Temple be continued to its completion; and Whereas, there are not sufficient funds available now, nor provided, therefor; and Whereas, an emergency exists in the premises; Therefore, be it enacted by the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, the Supreme Lodge in Biennial convention assembled:— Continued Next Week GETS $400 A WEEK This little girl, Dorothea Dux, is the eight-year-old daughter of a former burgomaster of Budapest, whose acting in a comparatively unimportant film attracted the eye of a German impressario, who witnessed it by chance in Berlin, with the result that he went to Budapest at once and engaged the gifted Dc·othea to star in child parts at the record figure of $400 per week. (Herbert, N.Y.) TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE DOCTORS Good doctors are scarce everywhere. Country doctors are underpaid and overworked. Peekskill, N. Y., physicians have agreed to charge $1 for telephone consultations. If advice on how to treat a cold is worth telephoning for it is certainly worth a dollar. In England the fees of rural physicians are fixed by the Government. We may come to that in America. The fees must be high enough, however, to encourage well trained young doctors to settle in small towns and to stay there. Several Eastern towns where doctors have failed to make a living have agreed to pay a salary out of public funds to a good doctor, for public health work, which still leaves him time to engage in general practice. That way of insuring a doctor a living and at the same time safeguarding the public health is a sound, American method and should be more generally adopted, as it will be. ENGINES The next big improvement in automobiles will be an engine that uses crude oil or distillate instead of gasoline. Heavy-oil engines use cheaper fuel, get two or three times as much power out of a gallon of it, require no complicated electrical sparking apparatus, and have no valves to be reground. The motor car of the future will have an engine of that type, driving the front wheels instead of the rear wheels, and will have no gears to shift. Airplanes will use the cleaner fuel, too. A Diesel type engine few plane from Detroit to Washington Elmer Spree automobiles that has perfected such an engine for air use on which he has been working for years.

I shall not print his name; he would not have liked the publicity. He probably had never earned as much as $100 a month, but he sent his four children through college. A Cape Cod fisherman's son, he was a schooner captain in the West Indies trade at eighteen. At seventy-five he was hauling mail and baggage in his old Ford truck, preferring independence to retirement. Unlettered himself one of his sons is a professor in a Western university, one is on the Harvard faculty; a daughter is superintendent of a great training school for nurses. "Sorrell and Son," one of the most popular English novels of recent years, has for its theme the sacrifices of a father for his son's education. A new theme in England, but one of the oldest in America.

ACCIDENTS Automobile accident cases cost the hospitals of the United States more than $15,000,000 last year, for the care of the injured. More than one-third of this was never collected, because the persons responsible for the accidents could not be compelled to pay for the damage they had done. Next to industrial accidents, automobiles send more individuals to the hospitals than any other one cause. The care of the victims is a charge on all the rest of use to the extent that the deficit in hospital expenses has to be made up of taxes. Almost every state makes insurance against industrial accidents compulsory on employees. Only Massachusetts requires automobile owners to carry liability insurance. If you are injured by a car with a Massachusetts license, the insurance company pays. If a car, from any other state hits you, you can usually whistle for your hospital bill, or start a tedious and expen wee suit. Eventually every progress e s. s. will adopt the Massachusetts system or something. e s. t.

MIAMI, FLA. — The Miami Dirigible Airport, first municipal lighter-than-air craft airport in the United States, is to be the base of operations this winter for the Goodyear Zeppelin Fleet," according to Welton A. Snow City Manager, whose effort during the past twelve months has been the chief factor in convincing the Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation, Akron, Ohio, that Miami is the logical place for winter airship maneuvers. The photo above shows the steel work of the dirigible hanger, which was almost completed November 15 when four Goodyear Zeppelins were scheduled to begin their journey southward.

In 1843, M. Paulus, trumpet-major of the Gorde de Paris, with a dozen trumpeters, began to recruit young musicians during the distribution of flags to the troops in the Champ-de-Mars at Paris, was the sensation of the brilliant day. Marshal Magnane publicly congratulated M. Paulus. Thus encouraged the leader, by decree of March 2, 1856, transformed his trumpet corps into a military band. In 1867 in the International Concourse of Military Bands at the Paris Exposition, it won the grand prize by minimizing the judges. In 1871 was renamed The Musique of the Gorde Republicaine. Since Paulus it has had five directors: Sollentin (1873), composer: Wettig (1884), the first director chosen by competition: G. Pares (1892), whose transcriptions are models and who gave the band a territory worthy of its growing skill: G. Balay (1911), who enriched the repertoire with symphonic music, and Pierre Dupont (M. 1ay 1927), the present Chef d'Orchestre, a title created for him. The bandsmen, including the choir and sous-chœur (M. F. Foret) are chosen by competition from among the elite of artist-musicians, mostly graduates and inductees of the Conservatory of music, and two numbers among its 80 players, two conservatory professors and thirteen cellists who play in the Opera, the Opera-Comique, and the celebrated concert orchestra of Paris. Pierre Dupont, the director, is 41. He began studying music in Saint-Omer (Pas-de-Calais), his birthplace came to Paris in 1905 to study the flute under the famed Hembembs and harmony in the Conservatory under Lavignac. He became flute soloist with the band of the Artillery School at Versailles, was made souschef in 1900 and attached to the 1828 Industry Regiment, continuing to study harmony, counterpoint and fugue with Professor Paul Fauchet of the Conservatory. In 1911, although youngest of the candidates, he was made chef de marque and directed o Latin America Will Make Cruises to Latin CAR FOR DIRIGIBLES, A WIDE AND 85 FEET HIGH have all you due to identify Miami alone and adjacency will constrain land and that Miamiimental countries, Atlantic d a port of United States nized Miami igible tr mental state.

It is also expected that Miami will be a base for experimental cruises to Latin American countries, and a possibility of trans-Atlantic dirigible lines using Miami as a port of entry, especially since the United States government has recognized Miami as a situation for a dirigible training school and experimental station. An invitation has been given to the Navy Department to make use of available land in the greater Miami area for installation of a mooring post. P. W.

With the 70th Regiment Infantry Bend at Harve in 1906 he won the Grand International Fourny by unanimous vote of the international judges, a letter of communication from the Minister of War. On the first of the follow- ing he won the most esteemed military band directorship in the world. The Musique of the Garde Republicaine visited American for two world visits in pre-radio days. In October, by special permission of the Governor of Paris it was allowed to make its first electrical transcriptions for an American broadcast. In the two hour program, called the Hond Bakey Birthday Broadcast and sponsored by the General Baking Company, to be sent out from 41 stations on Thanksgiving Day, the Musique of the Garde Republicaine will be heard for the first time on the air. It will play La Marsillace, the Faramade from Bizet's "L'Arlesienne" and what is perhaps the most stirring military march song ever written.

DEVIL-MAY-CARE by ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY Sixth Instalment **What Goes On Before** At a party in Palm Beach given by Mr. Cooper Chary, Leson, an attorney, meets Lucy Harkness, a devil-DV-May-Care because of her adventurous, ceilful life. In a game in which partners steal a girl's heart, Lucy Stevens, who has a great reputation as a successful heartbreaker, Leson is a bit jealous. Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are going aboard the boat, but Lucy is not sure. "A quitter," asked if she is not and that evidently Lucy is not sure. "A quitter" to stop looking regretfully after Leon. Alward Stevens' boat, the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love. When she replies with contempt, Lucy becomes the becomes afraid of him. He says he will never let her go from the Minerva until she accepts him. To escape him, she leaps into the water from her cabin window, swimming a short distance under Luca reaches land and meets Dr. Fergusnae on an island. He takes a key of her hand and shows her the map, and about her, and when she meets Stevens he is frantic, regrettable and still ardent in protections she informs Lucy that Stevens must take a quarter of a million dollars or to jail—at five o'clock. Lucy goes to the bank and sums up. Lucy goes to Stevens to help him, but he refuses to take money from a woman to whom he is asking. This man that she hates, and proust runs away from him, going to her stunner friend Dr. Fergusnae to tell what she has done. **NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY** Tim Stevens left the villa of his wife in a state of mind that bordered on insanity. Bewilderment, outraged pride, denied love—all these could to render him something less than true. But the breather from the Gulf Stream blew in; the exercise on her by its very monotony,磨砺 his nerves, and by the time he reached his own home he was able to coherently. She had run away. No doubt of that. Why she had run away, why she had married him only to desert him for all the world like a heroine of a cheap novellette, he could not imagine. Only, it was no cheap and vulgent motive that actuated her. He knew that. Lucy might be bizarre, but never common. It suddenly occurred to him that she might be mad. Certainly this would seem a reasonable explanation of all that she had done. Only, he remembered the cool gray eyes, the broad forehead, to know that no insanity lurked within that perfectly shaped head. She was the most insultive creature on earth. He knew this. And yet, though she might have acted upon impulse in marrying and leaving him, would be impulse only because it been done so suddenly. She had whatever she had done with delicateness even though she had not waited much time in planning. Nevertheless, his eyes lighted as he slipped inside his patio, only to grow somber instantly as she was revealed to his eager glance. . . or, rather, its pale specter—unmilled completely. He sat down, rang a servant, high-ball, and drank it slowly, sipping it carefully, as though he sought by taste to analyze its ingredients. A sudden odd thought came to him: the liquor had no savor, and nothing else in life would have savor again unless it were accompanied, or spiced, by the presence of Lucy. This was love. This was an ache that distracted, that maddened, that drove one to frenzy. No mere balked desire this, but an overwhelmed ing, frantic longing that, his suddenly ill-fated was not only of the flesh but of He could understand why man frustrated in love, might sink to any level of dissipation, to win a moment of forgetfulness. An overwhelming urge seized upon him, to drink and drink until he won unconsciousness. Then his mouth hardened, and his eyes, that had not been focussed, had been wide and staring, resumed their customary coolness. Lucy Hardness had made a public fool of him, at least, publicity could not be long avoided—but he would add to the foolishness nothing of his own. He wouldn't drink, and he wouldn't kill himself, and he'd do nothing . . . save find her. He rang again, and ordered a servant to fetch Modane, the skipper of the Minerva. The swart Levantine arrived shortly. He was married to-day, Modane," said Stevens. Stevens woulded. "I congratulate you, sir" "And Mrs. Stevens and I sail on the Minerva in half an hour, on our honeymoon, Modane," Stevens continued. Again the skipper nodded. "Our destination, sir?" "You are to proceed south, beyond Miami. Every second day you'll send a man to Miami in a motorboat, and at the post-office he'll inquire for letters for yourself. For, Modana, Mrs. Stevens and I shall not be aboard the Minerva." "No, sir," said Modane. "But the crew are not to know this, and you must to know it. Once you venture, the will discover it, but it will be too late for them to gossip. Send a tight-mouthed man sashore for letters, one that isn't inclined to gossip." "Yes, sir," said Modane. "You dened by the weight of their virtues, so the sweetness of the tropics comes insupportable to them, who when sweetness is lost savor promptly needs to show what a kind lady she can be.

"Hang on!" she heard him cry, his DON RILEY "Hang on!" she heard him cry, his voice barely audible. hailstones hit the deck, bounded about, she oddly thought, likeennis-balls, or rounded dice. . . . Was this some gambling demon up aloft who shook dice for the lives of Faunce and herself? The Lucy seemed to rise clear of the water; propelled by wind and wave it shot along like a hydroplane, Lightning gleamed and thunder roared. Beaten flat to the deck by the force of the wind, and hanging on with grim determination to the rail, she saw Flauce straining at the wheel, trying to deflect the course of the craft. But why try to steer in this hurricane? She turned her head and knew the answer to her unuttered question. Ahead of them, a rod away, loomed the terrifying bulk of the great waterspout which first had told Faunce of their peril. And as the Lucy smashed into the watery塔, her lips twisted in an ironic smile. It was for that she had swum agonizingly to shore only thirty-six hours ago. How much of life is real, and how much of it is a dream? Or is it all a dream? Lucy, lying in a berth, asked herself these questions. This was the room aboard the Minerva from which, some time ago, she distinctly remembered having dived into the Gulf Stream. Yet she was in this cabin, dry, not soaked from long immersion, clothed in pajamas which she recognized as having seen in this room just after she had shut the door upon Tim Stevens. And why, unless she had been drugged, had she dreamed such terrible dreams? And yet they hadn't all been terrible. Fergus Faunce had appeared in them, dear Fergus Faunce with his kindly, whimsical mouth, his gentle eyes behind the green sunglasses, his graying hair, his twisted nose. Ah, Fergus at least was real! No dream could have evoked so quaint and lovable a character. And Fergus was real, then all of the mad things that she remembered—her swim asbore, Mango Key, her marriage, her flight . . . She sat up, while something cold seemed to lay a clammy hand or claw upon her breast. The hurricane, the waterspout, the final crash! She had been saved; but what about Fergus? She seemed to remember that his hand had clutched at her, as though to drag her from beneath the flood, and after that she remembered nothing.

You know me as well as any one." as any one "And like you better, sir," said Modane. "than any one else." "Much obliged. Then tell me: why would a woman marry me and then run away?" "You've got a way, sir, of commanding, not asking; a proud woman might resent that, might want you to come to heel, instead of herself." "I'll think that over," said Stevens. "And when I bring my wife aboard--Modane, where could she have landed yesterday morning?" Modane drew a pocket snap from inside his double-breasted reefer jacket. He double-lipped at it, then placed a stubby forefinger on a point south of Palm Beach. "Mango Key, sir, or one of those other keys. I told you the drift was inward, but you thought that the Gulf Stream current sent outward where the went overboard. Mango Key or thereabouts, sir." Much obliged, Modane. You may go. "You don't want . . . help, sir?" asked the sailor. "To toitch back my own wife? No help, not even my own two hands Modane. If she won't come for words then . . . she'll never come." "Don't waste 'em, sir," pleaded Modane. "Take her, grab her, make her come." Stevens shook his head. "Would you have an unwilling wife Modane?" Modane showed his white teeth. "I if wanted her, and could get her, it wouldn't matter to me whether she came willing or unwilling, I'd make her willing." "All women aren't the same, you know," suggested Stevens. "Sure they are, sir, like all men" They don't know what they want They wait for some stronger person to tell 'em what they want, and then they jump with joy and claim they wanted it all the time." "Not all men, nor all women," said Stevens. "Yes, sir, all men, and all women," insisted Modane. "But suppose . . . suppose one isn't the stronger?" asked Stevens. Modane shrugged. "In that case lie down, let her walk on you. You got to, if she's stronger than you. But is she, sir?" In turn Stevens shrugged. "That remains to be found, put, Modane." CHAPTER IV The Lucy was christened solemnly by the human Lucy broke a pint bottle of champagne over the craft's bow, and then another pint was opened and the ritual was sealed by Faune and herself drinking the new Lucy's health and success. "Though what greater measure of success the Lucy can hope for than to have carried you as a passenger—" "As a member of the crew," Devil-May-Care interrupted Faune. "I accept the amendment, Lucy," said Faune. "Well, what more this craft can hope for I cannot imagine." They were bowling leisurely south, across the ocean, beneath a shining sun and fleece. There was the faintest sun, and along the sandy shore, miles inland, breakers curled and broke foamily, and the murmur of their dissolution sounded like a faint chant in the distance.

Already the sun was obliterated and a false night was upon them. The placid ocean had awakened, was stirring, was tossing as though in agony. The Lucy rose suddenly, rolled sideways, then pitched into a gulf. Water broke over her bows, suticed the deck, drenched Lucy Stevens, splashed over Faunce at the wake. "Hang on!" she heard him cry, his voice barely audible above the roar of the cyclone.
