NEGRO BANKS HERE FORM MAMMOTH MERGER THE RICHMOND PLANET MAN ATTACKS 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL! U. S Marines Attempt To Quell Haitian Revolt Haitians Fling Typewriters in Effort To Combat American Officials There There was much excitement in the neighborhood of Brook Avenue and Duval Streets last Monday evening, when it was noised abroad that Garthirth Richardson, about 23 years of age and single, had perpetrated an outrageous attack upon a ten-year-old girl who resided with her parents nearby. It is averted that Robertson, who has served a term in the jail at Tampa, Florida, had enticed the unsuspecting child into a vacant house in the neighborhood and assaulted her. He was captured by several men who were in the neighborhood and badly beaten before the arrival of the police. It is said that one man was so incensed over the brutal act that he lambasted Richardson over the head with a stick. When seen by or reporter he was pretty badly shaken p and his head was bandaged. Richardson hails from Cumberland County, Va., and resides here at 1202 Boyd Street. His case has been certified to the grand jury. A similar case happened here recently, when a colored girl, who lived in the neighborhood of Elizabeth and Leigh Streets, was prevailed upon to go to Westover Hills for employment, in the company of a young man unknown to her mother. He stopped her on the other side of the James River bridge and forced her at the point of a knife. The Planet warns the parents of girls here to exercise care and caution in sending them on errands and missions unaccompanied. SIMMONS UNIVERSITY OB- SERVES FIFTIETH ANNI- VERSARY (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Dec.—Simmons University celebrated last week its fiftieth Anniversary. Dr. C. H. Parrish, president, acted as chairman of the exercises. Some of the most prominent citizens of both races were present and took a part in the celebration. The school this year has enrolled over 200 students. U. S Marines Quell Haiti Haitians Fling To fort To Con can Office (Crusader News Service) Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Dec. 9.—The United States Marines who have been illegally occupying Haiti for years have declared martial law, under the command of Colonel Richard M. Cutts, in order to break a strike of the Haitian employees of the customs office. However, the strike threatens to spread beyond the custom office, where it began yesterday morning, when the employees entered all offices with clubs to drive out any laggards, throwing typewriters at two Yankee bosses who tried to break the strike, injuring the two slightly. Spreading the fight to the street the strikers met an American marine officer coming on the scene with marines, and gave him a beating with rocks and bricks. The United States marines are the only supporters of an impostor who calls himself "president of Haiti." who was eclected by nobody but the rifles of the marines and who is a busy bootlicker of American imperialism and its agents great or small. His name is Luis Borno, and he is cordially detested by all Haitians that his "presidency" would end very suddenly were it not for the presence of the marines. So much has been stolen and looted from the public treasury that the customs employees are suffering in their wages. In addition the dictatorial school system has caused a strike of 10,000 students—all the way from kindergarten to university students. All attempts at compromise have failed, and the school strike continues. REV. C. A. COBBS RECEIVES ANOTHER CALL The First Baptist Church, of Centralia, made a choice of the Rev. C. A. Cobbs as its pastor in its last regular business meeting. This historic church numbering about 1,200 members, has had for its pastors such men as Rev. Chattman, Brown, and the late Dr. W. H. Thomas, and Dr. J. H. Binford. First Baptist Church, Centralia, has made a wise choice in selecting Rev. Cobbs as its pastor. Rev. Cobbs is a graduate of Virginia Union University, Recording Secretary of Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and vicinity, Grand Chaplain of the Improved Order of Shephards and Daughters of Bethlehem. He has had twelve calls in his pastorate of ten years. He is a forceful gospel preacher and singer. He is now in the midst of celebrating the Golden Anniversary of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and his tenth anniversary as its pastor. This is his own home church, of which he has held membership since nine years of age. It is not known as yet that he will accept this call. Rev. Cobbs will serve First Baptist Church Sunday, December 15th. Mrs. S. L. M. Scott and grandson, John Thomas Mitchell, of Montclair, N.

E. L. Bradley, noted turfman. Every year he divides the proceeds among charitable institutions, the black alike.

NEGRO STEEL WORKERS JOINING COMMUNIST PARTY (Crusader News Service) Youngstown, Ohio, Dec. 2.—In this steel-controlled city, the militancy of the negro workers, who formed a large proportion of the steel workers, is rapidly rising. Over fifty of these workers joined the Communist Party during the recent meeting in commemoration of the Twelfth Anniversary of the Russian Revolution, while large numbers are reported joining the Metal Workers Industrial League, which is affiliate with the new trade union center of the Trade Union Unity League. Large numbers of negro workers turned out recently to hear William Z. Foster, National Secrecy of the Trade Union Unity League. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA; SATURDAY, DEECMBER 14, 1929.

Gussie Cook, popular young deb of this city and graduate of Virginia Union University, class of '29, daughter of Mrs. Emily Powell Cook, teacher in the public schools of this city, was badly buried on Monday, December 3, 1929. Miss Cook while reading a paper in front of an open fireplace about 1:30 fell against the hot wire screen that protected the fireplace, this perhaps saved her from more serious injury. Overcome by the blow, she was unable to get up immediately and sustained several burns on her face. Being alone, she could not call for assistance and remained in a state of unconsciousness until her mother arrived from school about 3:05. Miss Cook is slowly recovering under the tender care of her doctor and mother, and the great interest that is shown her by her host of friends. It is averred that Miss Cook is engaged to a prominent young pharmacist of this city. FULTON NOTES The Golden Anniversary of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and the Tenth Anniversary of the pastor, Rev.

Character Study of the Late John Mitchell, Jr. THE EDITOR KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS STAGE BIG RALLY. The local Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe held a very inspirational mass meeting recently at the Ideal Hall on East Clay Street, under auspices of the local organizations under Deputy Jesse Randall, who was the leading figure in promoting the meeting, and Mrs. Lucy Cross. Dr. Albert A. Tennant was master of ceremonies, and remarks were made by Sirs A. V. Norrell, Berry Dickerson, J. R. Pollard, L. J. Morris, W. E. Brown, R. C. Mitchell, Sisters Lucy Cross, Katie Thomas and others of Richmond, and General R. T. Stewart, Colonel Stewart, of Tidewater, Mrs. Ashe, G. W. R. of Deeds, of Newport News, and others. Grand Chancellor Thomas H. Reid, of Norfolk, made a great impression upon Richmond by his keen sense of judging values, his ability as an executive and his general affability. His address was to the point and presages a new day for the Pythians of Virginia. The Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mre. Rowena White, of Lynchburg, delivered a fine address and outlined the future policy of the Courts of Virginia. Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge, of Danville, Va., was in the city last week, the guest of Mrs. Hannah Johnson, 900 Harrison Street. While here she attended the Hampton-Union football classic and the State Teachers' Association. Richmond is always happy to see Miss Polly.

Joseph R. Ray, president, and the American Mutual Savings Bank, J. O. Blanton, president, have each issued this week checks amounting to $25,000 each for money saved in the Christmas Savings Fund. Mr. Ray said that in a New Account Campaign started in September that over eight hundred new accounts had been added to the bank. NEGRO WORKERS WELCOMED AT UNEMPLOYED MEET (Crusader News Service) (Crusader News Service) Detroit, Mich., Dec. 10—When unemployed Negro workers took the floor at a local conference of unemployed workers called jointly by the Trade Union Unity League and the Auto Workers Union, they were greeted with stormy applause. Prior to the taking of the floor by the Negro workers, enthusiastic approval had predicted the statements of speakers that the Council welcomed all workers, regardless of race, color, creed or nationality. Many workers spoke, urging the need for greater solidarity and organization in the struggle against the bosses, the boss courts, the A. F. of L. bureaucrats, "socialists" and all others opposed to the wing labor movement. A Provisional Committee which included Negro and youth representatives, was elected to prepare leaflets and a program of action. A Negro worker, C. Green, was secretary of the conference, and the chairman, R. Newton, another Negro worker, recently returned from the U. S. S. R., represented the American Negro Labor Congress. He explained the five-year plan and told of the splendid conditions of the workers and peasants in the Soviet Union. Ohio Colored Segregati Mrs. Daisy Hall White Foes in Legal New York, Dec. 6.—Victory is reported from Columbus, Ohio, to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of a colored woman resident against segregation by white property owners' covenant. The case was won by Alexander H. Martin, of Cleveland, acting as attorney for Mrs. Daisy Hall Rice, a life-long resident of Columbus. The case originated in an action to oust Mrs. Rice from possession of a lot she had purchased, on the basis of a white property owners' covenant which would prevent sale to and ownership by Negroes. Judge Cowan, sitting in Franklin County, sustained a motion by Mr. Martin for a directed verdict in favor of Mrs. Rice. JOSIAH C. ROBERTSON PRESENTED IN ART EXHIBIT The Delvers Art and Literary Club and the Educational Department of Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A., presented Josiah C. Robertson, Jr., in art exhibit at Armstrong High School during the meeting of the State Teachers' Association. The exhibit included portraiture in oil, charcoal, pencil and water colors. The Robertson family portraits were exceptionally good and undoubtedly the work of a master. There were about seventy-five subjects presented, all of which were exquisite in workmanship and deluxe in the character of the subjects presented. Miss Blanche Coles, of the Delvers, and Mrs. Mary E. Carter, of the "Y" were instrumental in having this display for Richmond's citizenry and its guest, over the protests of the unassuming artist. Mr. Robertson is the son of Lawyer and Mrs. J. C. Robertson, of Garden City. PRICE FIVE OENTS GIRL! n Editor The death of John Mitchell, Jr., last week cast a pall over the city, and this shadow of death has gradually spread throughout the United States. Messages of condolence from all parts of the country have poured into The Planet office, lamenting the passing of a man whose life has meant so much to his race and his country. The keenness of the loss is felt in many places, high and low, because of the variety of contacts the great editor made during his nearly fifty years of public life, as ditor, orateer, school teacher, banker, fraternalist, business executive, church layman and general humanitarian. The Ministers' Conference (Baptist) of Richmond and vicinity passed a resolution bemoaning the loss of "the most outstanding Baptist layman of the State," and the Fifth Street Baptist Church sent resolutions commending his work for his local church. We begin the publication this week of these memorials and will continue until all have been placed on public record as a criterion for the generations yet to struggle through this mundane sphere.

Barely mentioned in the 1860 census, and with a total of only 3,500,000 pounds in 1889, 1990 production will be close to 300,000,000 pounds, three-fourths of the total. Barely known today as the Planters Nut and Chocolate Company. He has factories throughout North America, is a director in banks, organizations and associations and owns a 360-acre estate near Suffolk, Va. Last year his business reached nearly $15,000,000, all in 5 and 10-cent peanut products. This year it is semi-centennial of the peanut. Barely mentioned in the American 1860 census, and with a yield of only 3,500,000 pounds in 1869, the 1929 production will be close to 2,000,000,000 pounds, three-fourths of which will be used at home. Baseball fans and circus fans alike go in to South Africa for the morsels, native to South Africa. The crop has become one of South Africa's great money-makers.

RAY So great is the demand for American law firms and to increase the opportunities for American trappers that Montgomery Ward & Co. has added new stimuli to the raw fur business by announcing that it will refund all postage express or freight charges on pelts sent to any of its eight large raw fur depots Ward & Co. whose activities in behalf of trappers have greatly increased the importance of the raw fur business in this country, promise the highest prices for pelts, in addition to refunding all shipping charges. The refunding of shipping costs is made possible by the fact that, because of the Ward receiving depots throughout the country being within relatively easy range of the fur-producing sections, fur buyers are enabled to dispense with agents sent to trappers for their catches, thus continuing considerable expense. declared. "Theses who send their pets to any of our eight deptes are assured the highest market prices, the quickest service, a refund of shipping charges and gratis grading. From our depts, following grading, the furs are dispatched to the furriers by direct shipments. Thousands of trappers and hunters of the continent are availing themselves of Ward & Co's service, and a greater volume of business is probable as a result of the important concession made through the refunding of all shipping costs." All kinds of pets are in demand this year, according to furriers. everything from the common rabbit to the most desired fox and mink Estimates vary as to the total catch needed to meet the demand of manufacturers in 1930, but it is easy to say that hundreds of millions of individual pets will be registered. "Green furs," said Mr. McKay. "never should be shipped. When well-dried furs are dispatched immediately deterioration in value is avoided. Furs should be presented in an answer so that the fur sides touch. Cleaning raw fur is to be avoided, and it is highly important that the greasy surfaces do not come in contact with the fur sides of the pets. Observance of these instructions and warnings will do much to keep up the value of the shipments." Ward & Co.'s receiving departments are located in Portland, Ore. in Colo. Fort Worth, Tex. Kansas City, Mo. Chicago III, Albany N. Y. St. Paul, Minn. and Baltimore, Md. The demand for raw furs is so keen that trappers are urged to make their shipments to any of these cities as soon as possible. "Expert and honest grading services are offered by all our large deposits." E. L. "I am charged of the Ward & Co.'s receiving deposits. JOE GISH FREE AIR FLATS FIXED THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA A Wary of Life BRUCE BARTON The Army Worm If the Eighteenth Amendment is ever overthrown it will not be by the Wets. The over-zealous Drys will talk it out of the Constitution as they talked it in. When one of them announces that the purchaser of a glass of wine should be sentenced to ten years in prison, or that the army should be called out to shoot down citizens who make whoopee, the common sense of people rebels. "This is too much," they murmur. The murmur is not loud, but it is deep. The murmurers are not given to analysis, and they have little talent for putting their thoughts into words. None the less, they are conscious that a law which makes a Christian talk and act in such an unchristian fashion must be open to serious doubt. And, if goaded far enough, they will do something about it. A wonderful thing about the universe is its all-pervading law of balance. For every star there is some other star to hold it in place. For every poison there is an antidote. For every abuse there is some natural corrective. "Things refuse to be mismanaged long," as Emerson pointed out. "Though no checks to a new evil appear, the checks exist and will appear. If the government is cruel, the governor's life is not safe. If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing. If you make the criminal code sanguinary, juries will not convict." I read recently a book on the gangs of Calicago. It contained an appalling list of murders for which the law has secured no convictions. But few of the guilty are now alive. The natural destroyer of the gang is the gang. The natural destroyer of the garden A wise old friend of mine told me that he wasted years of his life in worrying about the possible destruction of his garden and trees by pests. The gypsy moths came and ate. The grasshoppers came and laid waste. Finally, came the army worms, threatening to consume every leaf and blade of grass. grass. a What happened? The army worms became so bad that there was not food enough. Hence, they were undernourished and died, without laying any eggs. And the next year there were no army worms. I take much comfort in this story. I do not mean to suggest that we should sit supinely by and allow wrongs to get so bad that they correct themselves. We should whoop it up for righteousness and take a poke at evil. But it's good to know that, after all, we have a mighty helper. The law of balance is on our side. The conqueror of every army worm is the army worm. -BUREAU CHIEF:- SOME CHEESE! Major General William Graham Everson, whose nomination to succeed General Creed C.

Mrs. Wilson joins me in expressing a heartfelt sympathy in the loss of this stalwart Virginian. J. PINLEY WILSON, Grand Exalted Ruler, I. B. P. O. E. W TEXAS HEARD FROM San Antonio, Texas. Roscoe Mitchell, Care Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. The death of my old friend and classmate is a severe shock to me foremost of the old guard of Negro newspaper men who spoke openly for the rights of his race. He paved the way for many of the privileges we now enjoy. His work will long last to benefit his race. S. J. SUTTON. Staunton, Va., December 9, 1929. R. C. Mitchell. My Dear Sir: Sorry to hear the death of John, if I had known it in time I would have been there. Did you get my telegram? Yours truly, A. C. MABREY. ECHO FROM FAMOUS LUNEN BERG CASE St. Philip Hospital, Richmond, Va., December 8, 1929 Mr. Roscoe Mitchell, North Fourth St. City. My Dear Soscoe: I am very puzzled for words to express to you just how I feel. Reg reg that I did not know that our Mr. Mitchell was sick. When I knew anything he had gone from us. I know of no one whose death made me more sad than Mr. Mitchell's. For indeed has was very closely associated with my late husband and when one's name was mentioned, frequently I would expect to hear both, or one. I deeply sympathize with you and Miss Rebecca. I wish for words to console you. I can only commend you to the Father of love, whose infinite mercy stand ever ready to give strength to the weak. It was very hard for me to realize that I was attending Mr. Mitchell's funeral, which was so painful. It was from my home in Lunenburg, Mr. Mitchell got team to take the Barne's prisoners from jail to jail for safety, and the soldiers got their food and milk from our home in part while on duty. It was on this occasion our hearts went out for the great patriotic "tiger", Mr. Mitchell. God bless and keep you to stand for everything fine as did your uncle. Please extend my love and sympathy THE SCRAVY BOOK I saw him once before As he passed by the door, And again The pavement stones resound As he totters o'er the ground With his cane. They say that in his prime, Ere the pruning knife of Time Cut him down, Not a better man was found By the Crier on his round Through the town. But now he walks the streets And he looks at all he meets Sod and wan And he shakes his feeble head ) So it seems as if he said "They are gone." The moss marbles rest On the lips that he has pressed In their bloom, And the names he loved to hear Have been carved for many a year On the tomb. My grandmamma has said — Poor old lady, she is dead Long ago — That he had a Roman nose And his cheek was like a fox In the snow; But now his nose is thin And it rests upon the chin Like a staff, And a crook is in his back And a melancholy crack In his laugh. I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin At him here; But his old three-cornered has And his breeches, and all that Are so queer! And if I should live to be The last leaf upon the tree In the spring. Let them smile, as I do now, At the old forsaken bough Where I sleep. to your immediate family. Very sincerely, MRS. H. L. JACKSON. Of the many tributes to the late John Mitchell, Jr., one in particular was the most outstanding, that of the Lawn Town Shoe Co., Clay at First Street, in that it was entire original in its conception and execution. The window in which the tribute was exhibited was drape dine heavy silver grey silk velour. In the middle of this drapery stood a snow white easel, on which was mounted a life size portrait of John Mitchell, Jr. The portrait was mounted on a snow white matboard with a ragged edge scroll of dull black cardboard surrounding it, at the lower end of which was the name John Mitchell, Jr., in snowy white letters. To the right of this stood an antique bronzed candle stick, three feet high, in which was a candle four feet high, that flashed at intervals an electric light, expressive of the brilliant flashes from his editorial pen. At the middle of the candle was attached with a white ribbon a copy of the last edition of the Planet, edited by him. Artistically arranged around the candle stick were asparagas ferns and flowers. This novel and unique tribute was conceived and executed by W. H. Walton, displayman and manager of the Lawn Town Shoe Co. In this effort the Lawn Town Shoe Co. have established, a new method or precedent of honoring our great men, an idea that may well be followed by other business houses of our people in bringing them into closer union.

The aged man was found slain a few days ago and mystery surrounded the tragedy. Little or no cludes were left by the murderers and for a while the police were mystified. The filing of two insurance policies, aggregating $600, and with Balthrop and the woman named as beneficiaries, the case took on another color and the couple were arrested. The police were declared that both had confessed that they had participated in the murder in order to secure the $600 insurance. A policy for $400 had been taken on the aged man by Balthrop, while the policy in favor of the woman was for $200. Both are being held without bond, on charges of murder in the first degree. --- To sell the Down South Hair Preparation, Pressing Oil and Grower. Write Mme. J. F. McDonald, Excelsior Springs, Mo.

Secretary Negro Organization Society, Inc. A visit to this institution a few days ago revealed many interesting facts. The board was just closing an important meeting, and as Dr. Venable was bidding good-bye to those interested visitors he welcomed us into his humble office. His face beamed as he said, "We were just talking of what we hope the Negro Organization Society is going to do for us here." We talked at length with regards different phases of the work and one could not help but think that he was interested in this work. It was greeted in note that the staff of nurses who are of our race give satisfactory service. We were led to believe that these nurses are learning the Hancock philosophy, "Negro hold your job". We found that in one ward there a large per cent of the patients will never get well. There were two other wards in which 90 per cent will recover. You may wonder just why this is. Many people do not understand and draw conclusions upon the most unreasonable fallacies. There are three types of patients at Burkville, Incipients, moderately advanced and far advanced. As you know incipients have the greater chance of recovery, and the moderately advanced come next. The trouble arises out of the fact that there is a mix up of the moderately advanced patients and those that are far advanced. There prevails a false pride among our people with reference to tuberculosis and they seem afraid and think that it is a disgrace to submit to treatment for this dreaded disease. Every day they feel a little better and are dying at the same time. It was revealed that a large per cent of those admitted under the head of moderately advanced patients are extremely advanced. We call attention to this fact, for we feel it very necessary that we do not wait too long to call in our family physician for examination and consultations on the matters of our health in general. It is more important that the patient does not have to go to the sanitarium than it is that he be cured after going there. It was gratifying to note that thirty-seven patients are kept there by the Tuberculosis Seals Association and other affiliated organizations: Health Center, Petersburg, 5; American Red Cross Chapter, 3; Hampton Visiting Nurses, 2; Board of Supervisors, Tuberculosis Seals Association, 18; Norfolk Anti-Tuberculosis Association, 4; and Danville City Health Department, 2. The Negro Organization Society cares for three patients and there are request every week for more aid. There are fifteen to thirty patients there without source from which receive aid. We are doing all that we can to increase efforts along this line. Under Dr. M. E. Davis, of Roenke, Va, who heads our Better Health Program, every bit of energy is being used in the fight on tuberculosis. We are also urging the setting up of as many preventive measures as possible. Dr. Venable has been at the sanitarium only eight months, and many changes have taken place. One sees readily that he has his heart in the work. Great pains is taken with the food and the patients get plenty of it. Fresh milk and the like are at their disposal. It was interesting to note the large number of improved patients who went there in time to be helped. A few days ago Dr. Venable had an expert in the field of tuberculosis to come to the Sanitarium and perform four or five major operations on patients that ordinarily run up in to the hundreds of dollars—this was done for the patients free of charge. His words are these: "We plan to make this one of the most scientific institutions in the country." The State of Virginia is to be congratulated upon her progress at this institution and for having a man like Dr. Williams as Commissioner of Health, who believes in the improvement of the health of all the people. Let us not forget the large number of patients who are at the Sanitarium looking to you and me for aid in this most trying hours. The superintendent would be within the law if he said to them: "There are no available funds and we cannot keep you any longer"; but he makes this statement: "We consider it inhumane to send a patient away when he is better off here whether we have the money or not." we have the help. Let us gind the health situation of our people and do everything that we can to cut the high mortality rate which is one of the most serious aspects of Negro life. We are depending upon you to help us in this great need. Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.—Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Dean of Women of Howard University, addressed the Philadelphia Branch of the American Association of University Women on December 5. The association has over 22,000 members in the United States and is affiliated with the International Federation of University Women. The Dean of Women spoke to them on the subject, "To What End Are We Educating Negroes?" She discussed various phases of the employment situation at is applies to educated Negroes, with particular reference to occupational boycott on account of race. Dean Slowe also addressed the luncheon meeting of the Interracial International Committee of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom on December 6. At this meeting she spoke on "The Roots of Race Prejudice Are the Roots of War." Jane Adams, eminent social worker, is the International President of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. RUSSIA MAKING READY FOR WAR!

TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE FOOD THE late J. Ogden Armour once boasted publicly that he intended to control the world's food supply. The other day his estate was settled in Chicago. There wasn't enough money left to pay debt, by some $2,000,000. In Ogden Armour's time it might have been possible for one man to send the price of food up or down as he willed. It is impossible today, and it will be forever impossible when the food producers of the nation fully avail themselves of the opportunity to control their own markets which is open to them under the Federal Farm Board Act.

In this country it is ne advertisers who pay for broadcasting. Advertising and the distribution of news and information are a proper function of newspapers. Some newspapers now operate broadcasting stations, and their programs are broadcast in the air. In the natural evolution of things, newspapers will some day take over all broadcasting. RAILROADS AUTOMOBILES have been com- peting with the railroads for twenty-five years, but average train speeds have not increased in that period. It took the airplane to stimulate the roads to higher speed. The Pennsylvania railroad promises electric trains between Washington and New York at speeds of from 90 to 100 miles an hour. That is as fast as most commercial airplanes can fly safely. Eventually all railroads will be operated electrically between im- portant centers and train speeds of 100 miles an hour will be common CHICAGO COUNT KEYSERLING, the German traveler and philosopher, says that Chicago is the most typically American city.

In no other city of which I know so the ordinary people have so many and such wonderful opportunities to get the most out of life. New York still looks to Europe and the past for its traditions and culture; Chicago is developing a culture of its own which will set the American standard for centuries to come. DIRIGIBLES AIRPLANES sir man's pride in humanity's achievement of what the birds have always known. Airships like the Los Angeles or the Graf Zeppelin, sir the imagination with something like awe. They resemble nothing else on earth. They might be visitors from another planet. It is possible that the discovery that man can ride through the air suspended from a bubble of gas will prove in a hundred years to be more important than the invention of the airplane. Dirigibles will get bigger and bigger, safer and safer. Already they can navigate where planes are forced down. A Zeppelin 1,200 feet long is being built at Akron. That is larger than the largest waterborne ship. The dirigibles of the future will bear the same relation to the airplane that the motorbus does to the ordinary passenger automobile, or that the ocean liner does to the speed-boat. Perhaps a combination of the principles of the two types of aircraft may some day displace both as we now know them. —~ le = é eee RE oe ASSESS Pe Ce pel ae ete a a ear = RAW)| | oe <7 : ee . : % heeaeioe fe a 38 j A ‘ eo ce age “1 ¥ : d See a a ae i Re ee 4 eee : Bil Lob (eee as ye Yee aoe od 4 eee fee CG ; so aay N\A |e seen : SS PN NV g > ma Cae: - Ve er ha ae AE" RN eg | pe ee ST Fo : ao a on ee F te Pe Pg Oia A te @ 3 17 as Se ee Sd “Rg a ae : RYU) wet > h S\-Ye es eS A EE Saag Pee oa a WORM Ge See Sees ee ee 1 See pe WU ae) ys eG . s ues 7 ee ae an iv ih se aa Zee, OS Bh ee ae 2 ee es Gomera i 4 pee ‘yp laa ee a Pe oye | B yee 9 efis venies * . ee : oo as ee ae fis 4 7 ogni as Pier ccs gale ee NS a i tee ee cee ee a {| ae Bae a ee eS =a Se eae a eee a, Biss: , Aes ; (ares ie ‘ pe Ge aa h : cS eS. i es Fs ao f : aes ee eo 6 P nS TN |e ng 2 73. oe gee 4 4 Ae i. poe Af a Ge ae biti. ya ) A || Rae ORS ay oe es ewe ote? oe ae ia rs ey ee /\\\\ eee Seer a te ay eee a he oes yA STS a ae ee >, ‘See Siete ee wet, ke sd og Yogi SMe 2 + LNs EES a ie eh ee le Sand io PW ee me RN ee es Oe ee, Poa Ee ee dS \ fii * Seer 2 eee eae eRe eae oa ees! pene: UL per 5iN RN eee er ee eee “Gil oS REE icin fe ona ae ee se Ce ee ae he e | eae Ried oe ah eee | DSSS SSF OEE EERE SS ee \ : = = SSR IS =v AY T= > SS Cae GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY a7) << y\ e : PLOCKHORST, 2 we SS coc BL EGE tp Se oa pacanemereennneionaranincnaesaccmnmimetaars ont este tn we wm Gwinrc TO of Taatere faery T.

Missing! Mrs. Beecher Maynard Crouse, wife of a Utice, N. Y., banker, is mysteriously missing. She is 58, and is said to have been a devotee to a Hindu cult. Airplanes, boy scouts, police, etc., are joining a nationwide search. She is set 2 inches tall, weighs 112 pounds and has a small mole in the middle of her forehead. DEVIL-MAY-CARE by ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE ILLUSTRATED BY DONALD RILEY Eighth Instalment What Happened Before At a party in Palm Beach given by Mr. Cooper Clary, Lester, an attorney, uses Lucy Hankins, known as the "Miner," to arrange a dinner life. In a game in which partners for the evening are shown, Lucy is won by Tim Stevens, who has a great reputation as a lawyer. Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are going around his boat, the Miner, and the aacute in order not to be quitter. Aked if she misses the event, Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are going around her, it is not and that evidently Pete has arranged it. Tim stevens tells her to stop looking repreetently after Leonor. Aboard Stevens' boat, the Miner, vens tells contempt for him, he grows violently angry and she becomes afraid of him. He says he will never let her go. He asks for a place on the island. To escape him, she leaps into the water from her cab window, swimming a short distance under water. Lucy reaches land and meets Dr. Ferguson's island. He takes care of her and takes her home. Everyone is worried about her, and when she meets Stevens he is frightened, regretful and still ardent in protest. Lucy informs Lucy that Stevens must raise a quarter of a million dollars or go to jail; five倍 of a million dollars to sum. Luce goes to Stevens to help him, but he retrains to take away from a woman to whom he is not married. A Lucy murmurs that she hates, and counsels run away from him, going to her stunner Dr. Ferguson. Faucon to tell what she has done. Stevens sees Faucon in search of Lucy. Stevens sees Faucon and Lucy launch a boat. A hurricane wrecks on the boat, and Lucy is aboard almost all of it, wondering what happened to Dr. Faucon. Stevens sees Minevar also. Stevens stresses to kill Faucon unless Lucy sticks to him. To save Faucon she accuses, but expresses hate for Stevens. A few minutes later he says, "By saying he doesn't want her, and never will!" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. And, once they had been reduced to words they became something at which one might look, which one could study, observation and study, and her that those motives were things that could not be carried out through sheeps. She knew now that had not the storm lifted her from the arms of Raume into the cabin of the Minerua she would have returned, herself, within twenty-four hours, to wherever her hand might be. For she would have realized without Steven's analogy her intent, that in injuring him he invariably do dislabor to the more picture of dislabor to public scandal would evoke, but that real dishonor which is of one's own soul. Revenge must include a menace of revenge, for revenge is liable in itself. No more thoughts of revenge, then, would enter her hand. Rather, she would scheme to discover a way out of obvious blind alley into which desire the revenge had led her. Tim would divorce her; he would not permit her to divorce him. But there must be some way out. Also, there must be some answer to this puzzle created by Tim's sudden business energy. Here was only one person who could easily advise her, and that was Pam F. Fance. On those occasions, she had return to Palm Beach, when she had seen Fance, they had kept their conversation on the safe middle ground of impersonalities. They had, in each other, but only as casual accountants enjoy one another; there had been none of the soul-revelation which characterized their previous friendship. Well, she would try to return to that ground which they had occured together before. She didn't know just what she wanted from Fance, but whatever it was, he could supply it. Wasn't he the kind of wisest man in the world? And didn't she need Mindness and wisdom? Well, that. They came upon Fance stretched his waist before an open fire—there was the faintest hint of chill in the air—smoking his pipe and reading from a small volume. He rose at her cheerily hail, took her hand, and led her to a camp-chair. "Is this your island? Or, rather, doesn't my husband own it?" He thoughtfully knocked the ashes from his pipe and slowly refilled it. "Curiosity, my dear, is sometimes the beginning of wisdom." "Just what do you mean by that?" she asked. "Just what do you mean by wanting to know whether or not your husband owns Mango Key he countered. "Oh, Fergus! I have a right to know! Is he swindling his friend? Even he could has invested all her money with him! Is he robbing her and every one else? I want to know." "If you're worried about your maid, then worry about me, too." "You mean to say that you've invested—Fergus!" "I had a lease on this island which could not be canceled by a sale. So, when Stevens put the situation before me, I refinished my lease for a certain amount of stock." "And that's why you speak kindly of him. Because business—Oh, Fergusl that you should put money before . . . me!" "That isn't fair, Lucy. Money means little to me. I admit, I'm willing to make some. But putting you second to anything, save fair play . . . I haven't. Lucy. I want to talk to you." But she shook her head and rose DON RILEY "I can want to see fair play without being psychoanalyzed, can't I? I want a fair fight, and—". "I don't want to listen. Please, Fergus—let me go." Leeson did not take dismissal so easily as she had hoped. When she refused his third invitation to luncheon, he telephoned and asked her if he might drop in for tea. She granted permission, and as they sipped the tea and nibbled cakes, she told him, quite gently but nevertheless firmly that she was a married woman and that even if she weren't, she'd not be at all interested in him. "I can want to see fair play with I want a fair light, and—". "Why don't you marry Elsie Darragh?" she asked. Young Leeson's face was miserable. "Shouldn't I be a fine cad to marry a girl I didn't love!" She laughed bitterly. "I married a man I didn't love." "And are you happy?" Certainly not. Good Lord, Mrs. Stevens! I ... I know you're way above me, but ... well, I never could understand why ... after what I told you ..." "And you were certain of your "And you were certain of your ground?" she asked. He shrugged. "Our client's case was unimpeachable. Of course, I shouldn't talk to you this way, but . . ." "I shouldn't have let you come here, shouldn't have put into words things you indulged said to me, but you're a nice boy, and I could see . . . I wasn't conceived, was? You see, if I thought you really loved me, I don't have mention it. But you aren't in love with me. You're piqued, about that race in the swimming-pool, you don't like Tim, and so you imagine that you care for me." "Iimagine!" he said angrily. She nodded. "That's all it is—imagination. Now, let's be friends." He smiled wanily and took her hand, "I'll try," he said. He came up to Lucy one evening at the Everglades. She'd dined inside with the Lars Petersens, and was now one of their gay party seated outside in Orangerie, as the lovely dancing-place is named. "Your husband is the main person in the Lucy—is it St. Lucie?—development. Guess I've said enough." She shrugged carelessly. "If you don't wish to tell me; if you think it's not to be repeated. Perhaps you've gathered I'm not particularly fond of Tit, haven't you?" She could not have told, had her life depended on it, why she made this remark. It was a vulgar remark, sneerer, and insulted. She had not one save Ferguson France and Tit himself, had ever heard her state, since marriage, that she disliked Tit. Her actions may have informed people, but not her tongue. "I always wondered . . . you knowing what you knew . . . well, you won't mind learning that he's going to learn a little lesson to-might." "How?" she asked. Caution, that had been unleashed by a combination of circumstances, came back to him. "Oh, well, you'll know to-morrow." She shrugged indifferently. Then she laughed cynically. "Why do you laugh?" he inquired. She was tremendously overwhelmingly tolerant as she replied: "After all, Mr. Leeson, you're a very bright man, and all that, but . . . Tim Stevens is . . . But I mustn't hurt your feelings." "You don't think I could out-maneuver him?" he demanded. She shrugged again. "Hardly." Caution gnawed right through its leash now and fled yelping away. "Well, I have! His Lucy—or St. Lucie—city isn't worth a boot unless he has a waterway. There's a cloud upon the title to Seminole Creek, and the bridges across it. My clients claim that they have an option on the land east of the creek, Stevens claims it's his. But to-night we're destroying the bridges across the creek, and tomorrow morning, bright and early we're beginning work on a dam that THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page will deflect the creek, farther island, so that it will flow through our property, give us a waterway, and provide his. It means that our creek from the ocean, will be treble what it commands to and that Stevens's land will decrease proportionately." "But why destroy the bridges?" she asked. "Because those bridges give him access, by motor car, to the property east of the creek, and we want to delay his development. It will take without being psychoanalyzed, can't I? him weeks to replace the bridges, even if the court decides against us, and says that we don't own them and find not the right to destroy them. So you see while he rebuilding bridges, we'll be laying out our development, can offer it to the public so much earlier, it licks Lucy-St. Lucie, it is—and makes Clarytown. "Does Mr. Clary know about—and his wife?" asked Lucy. "I don't know how much the jury knows, but you can bet that the super knows all about it. Why, it's his scheme. He said that the public wouldn't bite at two developments, both so grandiose, so near together, so . . . get ours ready first. "But the courts may say the bridges are Tim's, ch?" He laughed. "And we'll pay him damages for destroying his property. They may even make us destroy our dam and return the creek to him. But we'll have been selling our property to the public and getting in some cash returns on our investment. Stevens, who's up to his neck this minute and who must get in some public money, will be out in the cold. "We'll buy him in on our own terms." "I see," she said. She smiled brightly. "Lucky that Tim and I are a loving couple, isn't it?" CHAPTER VI A fire gleamed by Faune's cabin, and there, in its light, sat Faune-- and Tim. Engaged, they seemed to be, in amicable discourse over pipe and cigar. This was an amazing thing; the Lord knew these two had no reason to like each other. But it was not to be pondered on now. "Leeson . . . Clary going to pull down bridges over Seminole Lake. Leeson told me . . . Just saw Clary . . . truckful of men . . . Hinder your work . . . make you sell out. . ." "Bless you you don't need to tell me why?" cried Stevens. He stared at her. "But why do you . . . what do you care. . ." "Damn it!" she stilled. "I can want to see fair play without being psycho-analyzed, can't I? I want a fair fight, and?" Stevens laughed boomingly. "All right, Lucy. You'll see a fight Come on." He looked at Dr. Faune. He spolied with a rapidity and assurance that dared his wife. He seemed to grasp all angles of a situation in a moment. "Even Clary—and Lord knows he pulled plenty raw deals—wouldn't start anything like this without old John Law behind him. Probably has a shifter or two; I'll be legally in the doctor. But they'll get away with anything over my dead carcass, and no way else. So ... how about you?" The firelight gleamed on Faunce's withinstrument mouth. "Why spoil what promises to be a cheery party, by talk of illegality" he laughed. "I've always disliked the law, anyway. Let's slap it on the face to-night." Stevens's great arm described a semicircle, and his palm thwacked resoundingly on the surgeon's back. "Atta kid! Any one with nerve enough to dig out an appendix has plenty hearty. Let's go." Continued Next Week --- "WASH DAY IN ITALY" --- America's first sea-going Christmas music Festival will take place ahead of the Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Bedford which sails from New York Dec. 28 on a 16-day cruise of the West Indies. A special choir has been selected for carol singing, and the ship's orchestra will play Christmas music dating from the earliest Yuletide observances in England and on the Continent. Seasonal ceremonies linked with the Boat's Head, the Yule Log, the Baron of Beet and the Drumatic mistletoe will be topped off with Christmas dinner rivalling that described in Washington Irving's "Braceside Ball." All these will be carried out with the aid of Elizabethan pageantry and with old-time English and American dances directed by an instructor designated by the New York branch of the English Folk Dance Society. Dances like the Virginia reel and the Kentucky running-set, together with their distinctive tunes, and Colonial music generally, were brought to this country by 17th-century settlers from England at the time of the British occupation of the West Indies. The voyage of Dane, Hawkins, Captain Kidd and Sir Henry Morgan had invested those sunny lakes with a renaissance gamer that taped the British continent from the earliest time, British occupation of the West Indies and British settlement of Virginia therefore gave the New World its first taste of English social life, and it is significant that the running-set survived in the Pine Mountain region of Kentucky long after that dance had died out in its native England. An experienced singer has been engaged to dwarf community carol singing ahead of the Duchess of Bedford and to assist in the series of special concerts. J. Harry Smith, who seated in staging last year's Yuletide Festival at Victoria, B. C., will superintend the ceremonies on shipboard and direct other topical shows.

There is the hint of creepiness at its mere mention; it is such a stern little thing after all; its business is to make wounds—most feared of all, wounds upon the bodies of our dear ones, wounds upon and within the bodies of the ones we sympathize with most—the ones stricken, with death just around the bend ahead. . . .

(By Elmer Booker) Billie Edwards, who was to fight the well-known Tiger Thomas, held on Monday night, was forced to a draw by Richard Shedrick. When the announcer announced that on account of Thomas having a bad eye he could and would not appear on the card in the final for the afternoon, the crowd began to show dissatisfaction. The Tiger was unable to fight himself, but the crowd who witnessed the fight between Shedrick and Edwards can tell you that Edwards had all he wanted and some more, too. This boy Shedrick, I am forced to admit, is no slouch. The style of fighting he has is clean-cut, and he mixes it. Edwards, although held his own, somehow I believe if the fight had lasted longer, I would have a different story to tell you. Several times the crowd was almost lifted off its feet when the two boys began to mix it up. It was announced that Tiger Thomas would meet the winner here sometime soon. The first preliminary bout was fought between Joe Steward and Andrew Shepherd, both weighing 135 pounds each, going four rounds. Joe Steward received the decision. The second bout was fought between Kid Moody, of New York, and Johnnie Lewis, of this city, going six rounds. This was a clean-cut fight, both boys seeming to have been in fine shape. The decision was given to Lewis, who well deserved it. The semi-final was fought between Young Sam Langford, of Baltimore, and Philadelphia Kid, a spectacular eight round bout, with each fighter holding the other blow for blow. Philadelphia Kid received the decision. The fighting card was presented by the Monarch Athletic Club, Mr. James T. Fry, president, who has been promoting the bouts for some time. Final bout by rounds: Round 1: They grab each other's hands and began to mix things almost at the opening of the round. Edwards' right to body. They clinch. Shedrick's right and left to body. Clinch. Edwards' right to head. Both pummeled each other as they went into a clinch. Bell. Round a tie. Round 2: They danced about the ring, each pounding and blocking the other's blows. They clinch. Edwards opens with a right and left to the body as they go out of the clinch. Shedrick returns a hard left to Edwards' face and a straight right to the head. They go into a clinch. Shedrick pounds Edwards over the head. Edwards returns with a short jab to the face and two hard rights to the body. Bell. Round a tie. Round 3: They both rush and begin to pass blow for blow. Shedrick sends two hard blows to Edwards' face and a short right to the body as they go into a clinch. Shedrick sends two hard rights in rapid succession to Edwards' body. Bell. Shedrick's round. Round 4: They dance around the ring. Edwards opens with a hard right to the face and a jab to the jaw. They went into a clinch. Edwards sends a hard right to the body as the referee broke them out of a clinch. Bell. Edwards' round. Round 5: They rushed each other but neither seemed to be able to land a blow. They clinch. They pass at each other, but miss. Shedrick missed a hard right and Edwards also missed a return blow, which causes the two fighters to almost fall. Shedrick landed a straight right to Edwards' body. Edwards pushed his left out and met Shedrick's jaw. Bell. Round a tie. Round 6: Edwards opens with a right and left to the body. Shedrick missed a hard left to the chin. Edwards landed right and left to body and Shedrick went down to a count of six. Shedrick sprang to his feet but seemingly weakened. Bell. Edwards' round. The seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth rounds were tied. The opening basket ball game of the season will be played between the Alpha and Omega Fraternities at Johnson's Hall on Friday, December 13th, at 8:00 P. M. MOB MURDERS DENOUNCED BY DAILY PAPERS Recent Events In Taxes and Florida Flayed by Southern Editors Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2.—Daily papers of the South are condemning in unmeasured terms the recent outbreaks of mob violence in this section, resulting in the lynching of a white man at Eastland, Texas, and of Will Larkins, colored, at Quincy, Florida. Of the Florida lynching the Miami Herald says: "Florida has again been shamed by the conduct of a mob and the failure of authority. Another lynching has been added to the disgraceful list, making three in this State out of five in the entire South this year. A protest has been sent to Gov. Doyle E. Carlton, and it is said an investigation is being made. But the time to act was before, and not after. The heinous crime of Larkins, if guilty, deserved death, but death at the hands of the State. The rule authority are a graver danger to society than the act of an individual." Commenting on the other incident and on the general subject of lynching the Dallas News, leading daily paper of the Southwest, says: "There is no defense. Lynching is doubly cowardly. First, because the exaction of the life of an unarmed, imprisoned, helpless convict by a crowd of armed men outrages every sense o f fair play. Second, because past experience proves that no legal risk is incurred by local mobs, its execution has been prosecuted and rarely conviction. The shocking event at Eastland was an act of public fury. But it represents neither courage nor justice." DO YOU KNOW HIM? Mr. Robert Minor, 126 W. Fourteenth Street, Winston-Salem, N. C., is very anxious to get in touch with Rev. George W.
