Ebenezer Baptist Church was crowded last Sunday night on the occasion of the celebration of the emancipation proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1863, under auspices of the church. Dr. William H. Stokes, pastor, was the orator of the occasion and in a well prepared address delivered in his forceful wont, was a revelation. He had made a careful study of his subject and his recital of events and interpretations thereof was masterful. The program was very good and rendered with dispatch. Among those participating were: Comrade George Walker, as master monies; Comrade George M. Jackson, Comrade Brown, as surviving member of C. Post, G. A. R.; Mesdames Ella O. Waller and Elizabeth A. Cobbs, who rendered two duet collections; R. C. Mitchell, who enclosed an address, and Deacons George L. Branch and W. Henry Walton. "Presentations to Dr. Stokes were made by Mr. Wiley Hall, representing the deacons, and Mrs. Charlotte Blackwell, representing members, feliciting the Doctor upon the completion of thirty years of pastoral duties with Ebenezer. The choir rendered splendid service under Director Walter Jones. The Junior League of the Leigh Street M. E. Church is a live wire in the church. The pageant that was rendered December 29, 1929, to a large appreciative audience was one of the best that we have seen for some time. The participants deserve much credit. It would be well for all parents who have children to send them to the league, as they will be properly trained. Visitor. J. Finley Wilson Begins Va.

Mr. Ellsworth R. Storrs, superintendent of Ebenezer Baptist sunday school noted the frequent use of the term 'nigger' in the radio programs sponsored by the C. F.

Dear Mr. Storrs: We certainly appreciate your letter of December 20th. We are not in sympathy with the use of the word "nigger" and assure you that our entertainers will never use it again. Handling as we do advertising of so many kinds, it is almost impossible to check up these programs word for word. We are enclosing copy of letter which we are writing our entertainers and you may be sure they will not make a similar mistake. For a great many years my family has been living in this state and I can assure you that I, as well as you, resent the term "nigger" in reference to colored people, as well as the average white person would resent the words "poor white trash." I can see your viewpoint and appreciate your letter. very truly you THE C. F. S. SAUER COMPANY. E. H. Rucker. P. S.—We are mailing you a copy of "Life in Old Virginia" as a token of appreciation for your letter. December 21, 1929. Dear Mr. Tenser: In the broadcasting program last night a reference was made to the term "nigger." This was not very thoughtful on our part and I have already received letters complaining about it. There are thousands of high class colored people who are using our products. We appreciate their business and we certainly do not wish to refer to them in any but terms of respect. Please see to it that these programs do not again contain this term. I am sure that I can count on your co-operation in this respect. Very truly yours, THE C. F. SAUER COMPANY. B. H. Rucker.

Nary of Life BY BRUCE BARTO Wary of Life BRUCE BARTON Necesitual Motion OME day, go into the Patent Office in Washington and look at the applications that have been made for patents on perpetual-motion machines. You will see some very ingenious devices. For instance, a machine to be run by the power of gravity — iron balls dropping down a chute and turning a wheel. For instance, a machine to be run by the p iron balls dropping down a chute and turn The inventor of that machine provided for even added a brake to stop the machine, in run so fast as to become unmanageable. He forgot only one thing—that it requires energy to lift the balls up against gravity as falling down. In England, between 1617 and 1903, more t separate applications for patents were made The inventor of that machine provided for everything. He even added a brake to stop the machine, in case it should run so fast as to become unmanageable. He forgot only one thing—that it requires just as much energy to lift the balls up against gravity as they develop by falling down. In England, between 1617 and 1903, more than sixty hundred separate applications for patents were made on petalu-motion machines. They stand—this unending procession—as a magnificent monument to the unchangeableness of human nature. A testimony to man's unquenchable belief in somehow, somewhere, it is possible in this world to get something for nothing. Every man who goes downtown to business in the morning should pass a perpetual-motion machine and be reminded of its lesson. There is one great law that runs through all life. Many men have discovered it; Emerson named it the Law of Compensation. Everywhere that law is operative. In physics, action and reaction are equal. In electricity, if the north end of a magnet attracts, the south end repels. When I started in business I used to be someone at worried by the good fortune of the wicked. I saw men who worked one half as hard as I and were paid twice as much money. I saw other men lift themselves into the good graces of the boss on the golden wings of golf and funny stories. But I have seen the Law of Compensation get in too much deadly work ever to concern myself any more about anybody else's success. I have seen good fellows who thought they were perfectly secure because they called the boss by his first name, be fired by the same boss, who called them by their first name when he did. And I have seen men grow very rich—and I know that there are many ways in which the Law of Compensation can work when a man has the ambition to become very rich. It can make him pay in health. It can turn his home into a counting-room. It can make his children snobs and hypocrites. It can destroy his joy in simple things. Another gentleman discovered the Law of Compensation even before Emerson. He stated it in this for. Be notceived; God is not meeked: for while over a man soil, that shall he also reap. --- Clearance Sle Pianos, Player-Pi os, Radios Small Weekly Payments Here are Four Best Bargains: SHAW PLAYER $185 Pay $1 Weekly or $5 Monthly BABY GRAND $308 Used But in Good Condition Very Reasonable Terms Good USED RADIO $59 Pay $1 Weekly or $5 Monthly Nice Upright Piano $98 Pay $4 Monthly.

FROM BOUQUETS EVEN TO BIPLANES: That's the range of load the modern commercial automobile is called upon to carry. In the past twenty years attention has been paid only to the progress of the passenger vehicle, while its hard-working brother has been slighted. To remedy this situation, the Reo Motor Car Company this year is sponsoring comprehensive "Progress in Transportation" shows in New York and Chicago where the great national automobile shows are held. Thirty leading automotive manufacturers are participating in the exhibits, which were planned to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Speed Wagon. Every conceivable body style and size, designed for hundreds of different special purposes, is on display. With the huge fund of knowledge acquired by research engineers of both chassis and body building companies, it is today practically impossible to present a commercial hauling problem which is incapable of solution. In cases where two distinct mechanical operations are required, separate motive power is provided for each function. Above are shown two of the latest models.

It is with a keen sense of our responsibility to the American public in general and the colored race in particular that we take up the implements of the journalist and begin the great task of illuminating the people upon matters that affect the general welfare: In this complex civilization, the art of living is long In its acquiring and time is fleeting, making it more difficult than ever to clearly perceive the proper paths to tread, the right songs to sing, truthful verities to utter, the best acts to perform, the altruistic battles to fight and the most excellent life to live. About the only predetermined course seems to be the right God to serve. Nineteen hundred and thirty promises to continue the great strides inaugurated by its contemporary years of the century, and progress in science, social justice, mechanization of industry, and acquisition of knowledge by the masses will parade through these 365 days wearing seven league boots. It is during such times as these that The Planet is to endeavor to do its part in educating the folk by presenting an editorial page worthy of trailing its pages of the past, when our indomitable Editor thundered in defense always of the right. We shall endeavor to present constructive interpretations of the events as they pass us by, warn of impending dangers, and battle for the right.

His had been a distinguished career, his name being a familiar one in practically every Negro home in Virginia. From his boyhood he had been a militant figure in the public affairs of this State. He was a born leader of men, a notable warrior wherever a battle waged that enlisted his interest. Although he probably will be best numbered as a newspaper man, yet will retain a fixed place in the his of his race in Virginia because of his activities in politics and in the external affairs of our people. As a newspaper man, John Mitchell, Jr., was a unique character. Beginning his paper when Negro publications were curiosities, he forced the public to take notice of the Richmond Planet by the fearlessness of his editorials, and by the publication in social form of articles bearing upon any notable happening in which he thought an injustice had been done the Negro. He was in the beginning as at the close of his newspaper career—acarcer ending only with his death—his best reporter as well as editor. The story of many of the most thrilling events that have taken place in Virginia in the last forty years was "covered" by John Mitchell in the Richmond Planet, and reportedly by him. In fact the files of the Richmond Planet will be found invaluable to the future historians who would record the high points affecting the Negro race during the last forty-five years both in the nation and in the State of Virginia. Of John Mitchell's turbulent life volumes could be written. His chief characteristic was his indomitable courage. Few Negroes have ever lived that battled in the open for the Negro's rights as did John Mitchell, "Lynch Law Must Go" was his Carthago est delenda for over thirty years. Taking his life practically in his own hands, he would arm himself with only a pencil and pad and visit the scene of the most sensational happenings involving the Negro and on his return to Richmond print his observations in the Richmond Planet over his own signature. Where courage and deep convictions were needed John Mitchell, Jr., never hid his personality, behind the editorial "we," but over his own signature he hurled his thunderbolts against wickedness in high places with an abandon sometimes bordering on recklessness. H glorified in a light. He neither gav quarters nor asked for any in return. He was incapable surrender. Beaten to the ground he always rose again more determined than when he fell. It was a distinct loss to the Negro race when he divided his great powers and capacities between newspaper writing and fraternal leadership. It had been better for him personally ```markdown ``` and infinitely more profitable to the race had he devoted himself exclusively to the Richmond Planet. The virility of his utterances, his whole-hearted love of justice, his scorn of sham and hypocrisy, his wide knowledge of men and measures and his fearlessness under all conditions made him the ideal editor whose newspaper was for a long time the mouthpiece for the Negro people in Virginia and other states. Indeed it can be said of the Richmond Planet, at the peak of its popularity about thirty years ago, that it was indeed a terror to evil-doers. But Mr. Mitchell loved he fraemaries, particularly the Knights of Pythias, at whose head as Grand Chancellor he remained for a number of years. Somewhat Czar-like in his rulings, he made bitter enemies who fought him year by year, some openly and others by intrigue until finally he fell from his high place in that order. And yet the remarkable thing about it is that he could have held his popularity so at the head of a fraternal order. It is almost as easy to perform the labors of a Hercules as it is to remain popular for a considerable time at the ead of secret orders. This has been demonstrated in so many instances as to need no confirmation here. Ben Davis, of Georgia, can bear witness to the precariousness of leadership in fraternal matters. So can Finley Wilson of the Elks, and Supreme Chancellor Green of the Knights of Pythias. But John Mitchell was called upon to suffer other humiliations in his latter years. Indicted in the City of Richmond, convicted after a bitter conflict in which the young Commonwealth's Attorney referred to the fact that he had dared to run for Governor of the State of Virginia, with umbowed head, John Mitchell carried his case to the Supreme Court of the State of Virginia, where his conviction was set aside. His property, accumulated during a long life of industry and frugality was swept away from him by an order of the court. Nothing daunted he continued to publish the Richmond Planet and although his editors lost some of their virility in his closing years, John Mitchell nevertheless wrote with understanding and power. Not waiting for the courts to act when John Mitchell was first indicted, Col. Matt N. Lewis, the founder of this paper, in an editorial deplored his arrest and expressed in his opinion that John Mitchell was guilty of no crime. This writer shares in that opinion and rejoices in the fact of his friendship for John Mitchell which is coeval with the life of the present editor of the The Newport News Star. A strong man with deep convictions, weilding a pen that was sometimes vitriolic, uncompromising and unbending, it were inevitable that John Mitchell should have bitter enemies, and these he did have in considerable numbers. And yet there is not a Negro man, woman or child in Virginia that is not the direct beneficiary of the work and sacrifices which John Mitchell made in pioneer OUR TASK. oppression, proscription, injustice and the like, we go forth armed to combat and to conquer: We stand first of all for law enforcement, as this is absolutely necessary for permanent enjoyment of our rights and liberties. We shall advocate state and national policies essential to the development and growth of the moral, industrial and economic life of our people, and aid in establishing their business stability and motivating social progress. Our interpretation of the duties of an editor is, that regardless of race or group connections, his first allegiance is to the State. Our primary duty is to America and secondarily to the Race. This is predicated upon the undeniable fact that all of us are Americans first. We shall advocate that the Virginia Negro make his contribution to the remarkable progress our State is making in order that we may share in the prosperity that is increasingly becoming Virginia's. The political arena must be entered and the contests staged therein should be participated in by a new and enlightened Negro, to the end that our State may have the benefit of the potency of an interested citizenry: At home here in Richmond the complications are such that a complete policy cannot be stated in one issue: First of all, we dedicate The Planet to the great task of welding this conglomerate mass of colored folk into a unit when it comes to working for the welfare of the group: Richmond's greatest drawback has been the seeming prejudice of one group against any movement inaugurated by any other group. It is impossible to get the combined strength of all groups days for the good of the Negro people. In the last three years three great leaders of the Negro race have fallen, all newspaper men: Col. Matt N. Lewis, Timothy Thomas Fortune and John Mitchell, Jr. A notable triumvirate, the like of whom it will be a long time before we shall see again. —The Newport News Star. Danville Notes bride away. Their presents were beautiful. A splendid reception followed. The pageant presented by Mrs. P. W. Price Christmas night at High Street Baptist Church was a grand affair and has been the topic of discussion ever since. Our ladies looked beautiful and the angelic chorus was wilful. Anders. F. L. McCoy, W. H. Wilson, T. D. Parham and L. W. Wilhoite, of Durham, N. C., were pleasing visitors in our city and witnessed the pageant. Miss Beatrice Owens, of Philadelphia, and Miss Adell Owens, of Washington, D. C., spent the Christmas holidays with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Owens. The special family dinner was held on Sunday and the following persons were dinner guests: Rev, and Mrs. J. C. Melton and family, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Gausney and son, Mrs. W. S. Gausney and son, and Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge. Miss Kathryn Winston, one of the members of the faculty of Shaw University, Raleigh, spent the holidays with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Winston. She had as her guest for the holidays Miss Gwendolyn Charon, who is also a member of the faculty. They had a wonderful time. Misses Patsy Duke and Sarah F. Overby, of Union University, Richmond, and Mr. Victor Burton, of Hampton Institute, spent the holidays with their parents. Mrs. V. P. Fuller, Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge, and Miss Mamie Guerrant, three lifelong friends and vets, celebrated their annual meeting January 2nd at the residence of Miss Guerrant. Refreshments of the season were served. Miss Fannie Scott, of Lynchburg, Va., was the guest of Mrs. Lenore S. Joln, 329 North Union Street, during the holidays. Prof. W. F. Grasty, one of the veteran educators of the city, is in Providence Hospital, South Main Street, where he underwent an operation. At this writing he is said to be doing nicely. Mr. P. H. Doswell is somewhat indisposed and confined to his room for a while. DO YOU KNOW HIM? I desire to know the whereabouts of my son, William Warren, who left Richmond about four weeks ago. He was sick in Washington. He has a cousin, Joe Robinson, in New York. Any information concerning him will be thankfully received by his mother, 67 Glencar Avenue, New Rochelle, N. Y. This inquiry was sent to Chief R. B. Jordan. TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE VOX POPULI This department is now open for our readers. TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE NEW YORK Visitors to New York think that its inhabitants live a gay life, if not a wild one. They are wrong. The gayety and wildness is mostly staged for out-of-town visitors, three hundred thousand of them own every day. The average bedtime of the real New Yorker is near 9 o'clock than midnight. When New Yorkers go to the theater they buy cheap seats in the balcony; cet-of-town folks pay the exorbitant prices in the pit. Verry few New Yorkers would know where to find a night club or how to get into a speakeasy. They live in New York because they can make more money there, but only by working harder than they did in the small towns they came from. To get ahead they have to live regular lives. They bring their small-town habits with them and fill more than two thousand churches every Sunday. The droughts in the Northwest and the Northeast in 1929 have made communities of every size turn serious attention to the problem of water supply. As population increases and people crowd into towns, the problem becomes more serious from year to year, even in rainy seasons. New York city looks ahead to the time when it must draw its water from Lake Ontario, three hundred miles away. Philadelphia already has to go into New York state for water. Inland cities, on fresh-water lakes and rivers, are more fortunate, but the pollution of streams by sewage is increasing. Eventually sewage will be disposed of everywhere in reduction plants and sooner or later science will find a way to purify sea-water for drinking purposes and so make a water famine in seacoast towns impossible. SPECIALISTS I know a farmer who is perhaps the greatest authority on potatoes in the world. He grows nothing else; raises them in Maine in Summer and in Florida in Winter. He is getting rich. I know another farmer who has abandoned his other crop to raise gladiolus. He is getting rich. One man in Maine specializes in pheasant and makes several thousand a year on and makes a half a dozen farms where nothing is raised but silver cakes. They make money. Some years ago I met a woman in Ohio who was carving a very good income raising skunks for their fur. I know another man who grows only violets. I have never known a specialist who made money if he gave any attention to anything but his specialty. I have never known one to fail if he had the essential requirements of industry common sense, salesmanship and sufficient capital to carry on until his specialty made good. Automobiles kill more people in America than any other single source of accidents, far more than are killed by railroads. The cause of accidents is usually inexpert driving. We have intercepted individual liberty to more behind any movement. This is traceable directly to the inability of our leaders to coordinate. Two recent mergers here of banks and ministers' conferences are silver linings of cooperation upon clouds of jealousy and clannishness. Local questions to be treated include such problems as our recreation program and the functions of our character-building agencies. Is there a movement to force Negroes from certain jobs heretofore considered his? The matter of principals in our schools is in the public eye and should be carefully thought out. In our editorial tool chest will be found no handy hammer for the belaboring of our white citizens every time there appears some element ready to stir up racial animosities. We know that there is an ever growing number of whites who are determined to aid us to have and hold a place in the American sun, and we believe that we should meet them half-way in solving this problem of the races by a constant use of logic and reason. Finally, we hope and work for a great America, stretching between wave-washed shores of the two oceans and from Canada to the Gulf, geographically, but whose righteous influence, knowing no physical bounds, will reach every corner of this terrestrial globe. We vision these boundaries filled with happy and contented folk of every color and race, working harmoniously for peace, tranquility and the emoluments that are the blessings of righteousness. Our task is to aid in bringing this to pass. the right of anyone to drive a car whether he is competent or not. Massachusetts has stiffened its tesis for drivers, so that now it is impossible in Bay State to get a license to drive a car unless one really knows how to drive. And that means a lot more than merely how to shift gears and apply the brakes; it means appreciation of the fact that there are other cars on the road as well as pedestrians. Some day nobody will be allowed to drive a car in any state who has not some sense of responsibility to others. ANTIOUES Almost any old piece of furniture, china, glass or junk, if it is battered enough, can be sold somewhere as an "antique." I attended several country auctions in New England last summer and saw absurd prices paid for trash to which most folks would not house-room. Yet among them there was always a piece or two which was a real bargain. I bid on a Sheraton table, which might have been fifty years old or a hundred and fifty, but which was of value to me because it would fit my dining room, was beautiful in design and sturdy in construction, and a modern table equally good would cost more than $20. I stopped bidding at $175 and the went to a dealer who bid $5 more. Just before Christmas, running through the artifact furniture department of a New York store in search of a good mirror at a bargain, I saw this identical table. I asked the price, "Nineteen hundred dollars," said the salesman. As time goes on old furniture takes on increased value, provided it is well designed, well built and in good condition. The things that outlive it are usually the things you may Tomorrow much of the junk that we discard, may be placed as JANOARY II. 1930 this is traceable directly to us to coordinate.

"From that time," the opening words of the lesson has a very definite implication and presents a subject for special study. John the Baptist had been a voice in the wilderness until he was silenced by the closing of prison doors when Herod did not fancy the message of dismissal after he had taken his brother Phillip's wife. Use either Kary's or Robinson's "Harmony of the Gospels" for all the intervening items, otherwise you will miss much as we spend these six months in the Holy of Christ. We are now in the spring of the second year of His public ministry. The time is A.D. 28, April to May and the general location is in Galilee. The call is the same whether given by Jesus or John the Baptist. It is "Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." This is still the challenging truth to command the attention of every one. Turn to the Gospel of John for the opens in the first year's ministry. At the very beginning of His public life Jesus beguil to call individuals to His side. Some of the followers of John the Baptist were then commanded at the time of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan. They do not appear very prominently during that first year while the Master is apparently working with individuals, such as Nicodemus, recorded in John 3. These men could not forget the impressions as they were with Him, especially as they sat about the camp fire at night and rested during the moon skies. Many pertinent problems that related to the inner life were discussed at those times. Jesus never purposed to be an arbitrary dictator. He would be both a Teacher and a Leader. He would have disciples, learners, who would go about with Him. Herein are many suggestions about teacher training, which is an essential subject in connection with the work of religious education today. Some who had been invited to become his friends a year ago at the Jordan were now sought as more constant companions in service. Andrew and Peter, James and John. There were many disciples: at one time seventy are named. From these, twelve apostles were chosen at a later date. These men, upon whom kingdom-building responsibilities were to rest about two years later, were selected from the general class of workmen rather than from the book-learned people who were in the big city centers. The horny-handed toilers were first called and they responded forthwith. Today, those in the more ordinary walks of life are carrying on the heavier activities in the church and Sunday School. Those who thus serve will receive blessings accordingly in the day of final reckoning. A three-fold ministry is indicated: teaching, preaching and healing. The work of the Church is carried on under similar heads in the present day. In foreign missions, too, there is schooling, evangelism and medical work. Such unfinished ministries soon attracted much attention. People came from curiosity and awe with a sincere purpose to learn essential truths. Jesus had a message for all. His approach was direct rather than abrupt. Sin was the supreme disease and He told about its unfailing remedy. He was the world's Great Physician. By divine power every malady could be cured, he was the deceased and he had need to be instructed for consultation.

Here's Some Anci Here's Something to Ancient Roots Here's Something to Crow About: Ancient Rooster Learns Place Cooking He may be cook o' the walk in the farmyard—but the venderable rooster is about to be put in his proper place at last! And taint is in the pan of the "sure cooker, for a proper roasting, according to Jessie M. Hoover, director of Home Economics, Montgomery Ward & Co. The solution of the ancient poultry problem: Wash with the age rooster, has been accomplished by experiments in Montgomery Ward & Co.'s laboratory. "The four year old rooster, tough and spurred, in his dotage, has been a great economic problem." Miss Hoover said recently in a pressure-cooking demonstration before a group of women in Chicago. "The seale rooster isn't useful in the farmyard—and up to the present, he's never been edible as roost fowl, along with his grandchildren, the spring chusus. They have generally been content to stew them for three days for cows and serve them the fourth for fowls. "Now the spurred cock, of unknown antiquity, may be tough as leather, so olu his cones are brittle—but nothing in his life becomes him like the leaving it—if it's a graceful and proper roasting done in a pressure cooker. ```markdown ``` at Kobe, Japan. In the spring of 1991, I landed at Kobe in the United States. The People's Republic of China is one of the countries on the map to the Orient. Kobe is one of Japan's three ports, an ancient landmark for travel and not only Japan's island. See all that Japanese civilization which practically began at Nara, now at Kobe, and which even now looks upon Istanbul to an upstart. Few Japanese ports are as well equipped as Kobe for making the travel comfortable for it has a large foreign economy and the visitor is assured of everything except being bored. I have golf clubs, bathing broaches, foreign stools, the dinosaurs and other dinosaurs and I am well equipped with life as it might be lived on a paper faint. thing to Crow About int Rooster Learns ```markdown ``` Crow About: Master Learns Place "Experiments extending over a period of years have proved the following method to be the proper one for securing best results in the cooking of old birds." After tying the legs and wings closely to the body and searing the breast and sides to a nice brown in frying pan or under the broiler a large cock, weighing from 4 to 6 pounds, should be placed on the rack in the pressure cooker. Pressure should be increased slowly, allowing sixteen minutes to reach the boiling point. Slow heat causes the juices and thus steam. The cock should be permitted to cook for sixty minutes, with the pressure ranging from 12 to 15 pounds. At the end of fifty or sixti, minutes according to weight of fowl, turn or fire. The pressure should be reduced slowly until the gauge reaches zero. Do not try to hurry this by opening petcock. To do so will cause meat to split off the bones.

Goodwin rector of Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg, Virginia who in 1926 told delegates to a Phi Beta Kappa convention there of his hope to see the ancient city restored to the glory of its Colonial days. Mr John D. Rockefeller Jr., who was among the delegates, guaranteed to undertake the program. Today it is said Mr Rockefeller has already purchased outright about 68 per cent of the old Colonial City whose existence extends over three centuries.

So knew now why she had thought him a brute; because she, who wanted to be all-sufficient to herself, had subconsciously realized that this man was her mute and master, without whom she must remain uncomplemented all her days. Maiden resentment, the defiance of the soul that is unwilling to bend its identity with another, had made her shink from him, even as every fiber in her body had called to him. He wasn't a brute. Equally he was no thief, for a thief had eyes have like his, couldn't have eyes like his. Candor, decency, was in them for all the world to see. He might be over-bearing, he might be slightly vain—God bless him, why shouldn't he have his little vanity if he wanted?—but dishonest . . . never!

NEW YORK.-Waiting for the barber to say "who's next?" costs American men more than $39,000,000 every year in time wasted. In the average seven days, 20,000,000 shavers spend something like 381 years twiddling their thumbs in barber shops, marking time until its their turn to receive the attention of white-coated professional welders of razors. "Considering that half of the 40,000,000 men in America who shave waste five minutes in barber shops twice a week waiting their turns in chairs, the total time lost would amount to 200,000,000 minutes." it is pointed out in a bulletin just made public here by H.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR BY JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. STARCH FOODS Winter is the season of good appetites and their appeasing without regard to consequences; a man recently had me estimate his blood-pressure, who weighed 275 pounds; said he "just could not get rid of any flesh." His health was, in fact, superb—I never saw finer; but he was fearfully overloaded with ballast, and he was the chap that had been shovelling it in. Starchy foods lead in variety. The great staples, wheat, corn, potatoes and beans are principally starch. In fact, starch is one of the most important foods, but, like anything else that is good, it can be fearfully overdone. I advise my patrons to cut down starchy foods in their dietary. One starch, not four or five, is a rule that I try to enforce. Potatoes may be prepared in a dozen tempting ways—and wheat flour—there is no limit to the culinary inventor's art and skill. The result is, five times as much starch is taken into the body as is actually needed; the result, it is stowed away in an increase of "flesh" that sometimes becomes alarming. I had a lady patient of mine who was overweight, leave off all starches for four days—told her I didn't care what she ate, just so it wasn't starchy food. With a reluctancy that was almost horror, she ate meat exclusively during that period. She lost the "heavy, loggy, tired feeling," that we meet so frequently and which is not a disease at all—just an overloaded vehicle with starch bulering the sideboards! The non-meat-eating fad has done its share to provide excess of starches, equally distressing. I'd as soon take my pork without the beans, as my beans without the pork, if I were experimenting; either way spells disaster. I prefer to act wisely if not scientifically—and take a little of both; just wha • my internal economy demands, and no more. That seems to me the horse sense of the matter.

Dearborn St., Chicago, Foreign Advertising Representatives JOE BOOTLE A True Story of the Thrill and Remarkable Experience A Negro Prohibition Agent By ANTHONY WAYNE Correspondent and Special Writer. Names of Principals are Obvious Rea HELLO. Yes, this is the still, you say? Sure and all right. Tell us who a look. Undertaker? That's got it. Now who is this speak Names of Principals are Concealed for Obvious Reasons. HELLO. Yes, this is the prohibition unit. A still, you say? Sure about it are you? Well, all right. Tell us where it is and we'll have a look. Undertaker? That's good! All right, we've got it. Now who is this speaking?" But the connection was broken at the other end, purposely. It was not an unusual procedure. Many people are willing to tell what they know, or think they know, but they stipulate that they shall not be brought into the case. "Perhaps it is just as well," said the chief in charge of the force, "there is sometimes trouble if it is discovered who tinned us off." "Nothing seemed out of the way until I determined to have a look inside the hearse. On the places for a still! We op it up and found a fully equ gallon still, which apparently completed its task of turning whiskey." The chief, in this instance, called in Joe Jackson. Now "Joe Jackson" is not his baptismal name, but it is close to it. For, while many know him, and some suspect his fearless investigations, there is no need of advertising him to his personal danger and inconvenience. Besides there are regulations that forbid the exploitation of individuals because the unit operates as quietly as possible under the circumstances. Joe, however, is an ace. He operates among the Negro populations of several large cities, moving about as ordered. He is a quiet fellow, large, good looking, intelligent. He has won a reputation for honesty and integrity, and fair dealing under many trying circumstances. There is no question as to his bravery either. The chief talked with Joe over his expanse of mahogany. The telephoned tip had in the meantime been typewritten. Joe read it through as his chief talked. He smiled. He knew the section. But let him tell his own story: "First I went to the files and found out that there had been previous complaints, mostly anonymous concerning this place. Investigation had always been fruitless though, and no action had been taken for it was conviction which the chief sought and not just raids without purpose," Joe explained. "Taking along an assistant, we slipped off to make a call on our undertaker. This time I thought best to make a direct attack. It seemed to be the last thing that would be expected and so perhaps, I reasoned, the very way that might succeed. "I frankly told the 'undertaker' our errand. He lived in a prosperous neighborhood and had his office at his residence. He gave us permission to search his home from cellar to garret. He was very polite about it and most accommodating. In fact, he was too much. It made me suspicious. But try our best, we could not find a single drop of the stuff anywhere. "Then we got together for a few minutes where we could not be overheard and I talked the situation over with my assistant. Apparently every place in the house had been thoroughly covered. Then I remembered the slip which the chief had given to me referred to the fact that there was a hearse. None of us had seen a hearse about, and if we had we would probably not have immediately examined it any more than the inside of the piano. "But I determined to ask about the hearse. The owner when approached—he was never far away—said that he had a hearse and that he rented it out for funerals. When asked where it was then, he said it was in his garage.

I asked of the young fellow with me, at the same time winking to suggest his answer. "Sure we do,' he answered. 'All right, Boss, sorry, but guess we'll have to have those keys,' I said. "Though very reluctantly, they were eventually forthcoming. "Inside the garage everything appeared as it should. There was even a faint odor of formaldehyde.

Later Jackson observed that the putting of the still in the hearse was most fitting, judging from the chemist's analysis.

Speaking of a still in a hearse suggests Jackson's recent experience as a grave digger. This was in order to get certain necessary evidence. Joe had, in this instance, taken a day off to attend the funeral of an old friend. The trip to the cemetery was a long one, extending to the outskirts of the city. From force of habit, perhaps, or from hard training, Joe watched the houses along the road. Nothing seemed out of place; everything was quiet until he observed two men in back of a house that was close to the cemetery. In fact, the yard THE BAR Photo shows an analysis of poison whiskey showing the sample of poison liquor in one tube and the results after adding a little plain water to the same mixture in another tube.

As the funeral procession went by, the men glancedfurtively about as if they wereafraid of being seen. Noticing that, and the location, and sensing rather than knowing anything more, Joe began to weigh his obligations to the government and to the dead friend. The very quality that had made him an ace in the unit commanded him to make a telephone call. So he stopped at the cemetery gate for the purpose. Then he sauntered back a few hundred feet toward the house that he had observed, for another look.

There had to be conclusive evidence of manufacture or sale. Such evidence is frequently very difficult to obtain. The suspicious appearing men at the suspected house were evidently located advantageously. There was no place of concealment nearby except possibly some tombstones. Spending a night among tombstones during the fall months did not have much appeal, but it seem- (Continued from Page One) --- JOE PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK WITH BOOTLEGGERS "For You" Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT for CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION, BILIOUSNESS. 2 continued from Page One) to be in line of duty. Buttoning his coat, sliding his hands deep into his pockets, and startir on a long walk that would bring in in view of the suspected house late in the day and after the cemetery gates had closed, he determined to see what he could see, cool weather or not. Hid Behind a Tomb When the sun had gone down he moved cautiously over to a tomb facing the house and crouched in the shrubbery that surrounded it. He settled down to watch and wait for possible developments. For three long, cold hours nothing at all happened. He had just about decided to climb the fence and strike for the distant suburban street car terminus when his straining eyes caught a yellow pencil of light from out of the door of the blackened house. Then the light widened to about an inch in width. "We've brought the yeast," whis- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 11, 1930 pered one of two men standing on the porch. The voice carried distinctly through the frosty air. The door opened quickly and as quickly closed, permitting two men with a satchel to enter. Jackson knew that he would need a warrant—and more evidence. He would get the legal document on suspicion and the evidence, if there were any, later. Thus, early the next morning an unkempt, tired looking colored man presented himself at the superintendent's office of this cemetery. His coat was threadbare and out at the elbows. Safety pins instead of buttons held it together. He was a forlorn sight and enough to arouse the pity of any one as he stood hunched and old. "I want a job as a grave digger," he said. "I'm experienced and can d good work." The superintendent didn't wait long in deciding. Pointing to where the shovels were kept, he sent him All day long he worked, shoveling and digging and filling graves. It was hard work, back-breaking, especially so, since he was not used to it. When evening came and he offered to work overtime, the superintendent showed him the best way out and left him alone. This was the chance he wanted. He immediately transferred his operations to the street side of the cemetery, less than a hundred feet from the suspected house. A man standing in the front of the house regarded him with bored interest. Then he went about his job of shoveling the cold, heavy earth. "I wanted that man to offer me a drink," Jackson explained, "but he appeared uninterested in my welfare. He didn't suspect my identity, I felt sure, but he didn't appear very friendly, either. "Then I decided to startle him, and immediately went about laying out six graves by digging the hard earth and sod away. These were all parallel to the cemetery fence and were in plain sight of the man at the suspected house. This had the desired effect. It worked on his superstitions. The man called to someone inside, and he in turn called to another, until all three of them were watching me. "At last one crossed the road, saying as he came up: 'How many more you got to dig there?'" "Eleven!" Jackson related that he answered on the spur of the moment. But he spoke without apparent interest and continued his work with his shovel. "Eleven!" almost shouted the man. "What's the matter? Fire, accident, or explosion?" "It does some sort'a strange," the grave digger observed, "But I guess that's the way it goes these days. Sometimes people won't die for months then all of a sudden a hundred will up and die at once. I don't Ike it. It gives me a pain. Look'b all the work it makes, and in the cold weather tool Now if I could—well, if it wasn't for this prohibition, I could stand it better." Jackson thus played his trump card. He had been working industriously while he talked. He stopped and looked at the visitor, saying: "You know, I'd give five bucks right now for a pint of the real stuff. It's mighty cold tonight, boss." With that he returned to his digging. The man on the other side of the fence looked cautiously around to see if anyone was near and spoke n a low voice: "You came to just the right place, colored man; drop over to the house when you get through and maybe I can fix you up." Jackson was duly appreciative and thankful.

That meant a good hour of darkness ahead of her. She drew her skirt up and tucked it high like a field hand's, leaving her long legs bare to the knees and unimpeded. Then she set off with a free stride in the direction of Bluton's shack. The moon had set, withdrawing its diffused radiance from the misty west, so that now even the solid mass of the swamp toward which she journeyed was invisible against the horizon. But the tides of life had definitely set toward the new day, faint yet, but stirring along the earth in little exhilarating waves, filling the air with those subtle vibrations that are the precursors of light. Through the gloom the big free-striding figure of the woman advanced. The movement about her quickened. She threw a glance behind her, and high in the east, she saw a finger of light touch the mist. Then suddenly she was upon that hour of the twenty-four when Earth recapitulates her creation, when in a brief cosmic atavism she slips back to her wild beginnings. The void through which Hagar moved no longer hung poised in inertia. Free-running tides of life set it swinging and pulsing. The mist lifted and divided itself into vast, slow-moving bodies that hung close to the ground and hesitated until some unseen force seized them and whirled them together in silent chaos. The woman stopped in the road, touched by the magic of it, and stood gazing about her. She saw vague, inchoate masses heaped upon on the cim earth. She saw these mases obliterated by the mist, and when she looked again, the curtains were withdrawn and the young The Stormy C A man is being lifted up by a ladder.

The light gathered speed. It poured along the ground, dividing tree from tree. It lifted in to the branches that still clutched at retreating mists and peopled them with separate leaves. Then, as at a given signal, the world burst into sound. Birds shrilled from the casena bushes, and like an ominous call Hagar heard the teeming life of the swamp awake and lift its composite voice. She had been tricked by beauty, and day had taken her unawares. She broke into a dog trot. It was imperative that she reach the shack before people were up and about. The voice of the swamp grew louder, and now, against its gloom, she saw the squat ugly bulk of the shack. Bluton was lying where she had left him. Quickly she bent over, gathered him up and flung him upon her shoulder. Then, casting a hasty glance around, she went out and closed the door. She had only a hundred yards to travel for cover, and this was fortunate, for, as she left the shack, the sun pierced the mist and drenched the clearing with light. It outlined the huge figure of the woman with fire, and cast a Gargantuan shadow before her as she laboured forward beneath her rigid and grotesquely posturing burden. She extended an arm and parted a curtain of vines, then she passed through into welcoming gloom. Black ooze squirted between her toes and covered her feet. She heaved a deep sigh of relief and paused to take her bearings. First she must dispose of the body, and to do this most effectively she must penetrate to the heart of the swamp where no one would be likely to find it. She bent forward and shifted the burden from her shoulder to her arched back. Then she set off as briskly as possible, tearing a A man in a striped sweater runs away from a dog in pursuit. Jack was merely made more eager by these outbursts. He trained intensively and thoroughly. To prove his excellent physical condition he wagered that he could out-run a kangaroo. He won the bet, and in the bargain set such a vigorous pace that the kangaroo toppled over dead. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 11, 1930 way through the matted growth with her right hand while she steadied the body with her left. But this position caused her to advance with lowered head and eyes fixed on the pools of shallow water through which she waded. At first this pleased her, for the little mirrors flung back pictures of sky seen through swaying cypress, with small white clouds tangled in their branches. But presently she became aware of the reflection of an object that projected over her shoulder and looked down into the water, as she was doing. She paused, and the reflection did likewise. Then she recognised its cause as the head of the corpse which hung over her shoulder close to her own. With the first sense of uneasiness that her deed had brought to her she shifted her load so that it would no longer gaze downward and started forward again. But with an almost animate persistence the body moved with each stride, and gradually the round, blank silhouette again eclipsed the miniature skies through which she waded. Now her anger rose, and she splashed heavily through the water, shattering and dispersing its reflections. An hour passed, and the sun, now well over the tree-tops, commenced to draw a thin steam cut of the swamp. The din of voices that had heralded day commenced to abate, settling in drowsy diminuendo into an almost complete silence. Then as Hagar reached the dense growth that clogged the central area of the morass and made progress difficult, the air about her broke into a shrill cminous whine, and a black cloud of mosquitoes enveloped her, settling like dust on head, shoulders, and legs. Involuntarily she struck out with both hands. With a heavy splash her burden fell from her back and commenced to settle slowly into the semi-fluid ooze. Slapping wildly at the maddening cloud, and with her skin on fire from the poison, Hagan turned her back on the body and broke savagely through the tangle in search of one of the little islands that rise through the water of the swamp and offer a slight harbourrage from the pest. At last she found it, a knoll of high ground, lifting out of the cypress knees, and having above it an irregular circle of opaque blue-gray sky. Crouched over almost on all fours, with prehensile hands tearing her way through the undergrowth, the great woman emerged like a prehistoric creature quitting its primal slime, and climbed out upon the knoll. For a moment she sat panting heavily, her face and arms streaming with sweet and blood from stings and thorn lacerations. Then from her pocket she drew a bandana handkerchief, a clay pipe, tobacco, and matches. She mopped her face, filled the pipe and lighted it, then sat gulping the acrid smoke in great draughts and blowing it in a cloud about her. The last of the mosquitoes took reluctant flight, and with a long sigh she lay back on the tough swamp grass to think things out. She realised with relief that there was no occasion for speed. Beyond the swamp lay a broad belt of open and populous land planted in truck HAGAR PAYS A DEBT $30,000 $5,000 BURN'S SHARE JACK'S SHARE The day of the fight was December 26, 1908. The representation of the press was the largest that had ever witnessed a fight up to that time. Out of a purse of $35,000, Jack's share was but $5,000. This inequality of terms was due to Jack's anxiety to bring about the fight. farms, and this must be crossed at night if she would escape detection. She need not resume her journey, then, for several hours, and this was the best place to wait. She ate breakfast from her package of provisions, and refilled her pipe. Already her fatigue was passing, and her mind commenced to turn over her problem, dwelling upon its various aspects. Usually, when Mamba had told her what to do, that ended it, and she gave the matter no further thought. But now, with the realisation that the guiding genius of that intelligence had gone from her, gone perhaps forever, a sense of individual responsibility bore down upon her and forced her to study and reason on her own account. Mamba had had to think mighty quickly there in the dark with Lissa waiting to hurry away to safety. And Mamba did not know this country as she did. Did not know Proc Baggart, for one thing. Mamba's plan depended for success entirely upon her escape; her ability to traverse the mainland and reach one of the Sea Islands where there were almost no white folks, and where the Negroes would hide that big clumsy body of hers from the police so that she could not be caught and questioned. Her train of thought broke off, and for a moment her mind was a clean blank; then vividly the image of Bluton intruded itself. She saw his limbs jutting woodenly from the water, and black ooze creeping toward his open eyes. Poor Gilly—she couldn't hate him now. Then she wondered if he would hate her. If he would forget that she had saved him once and remembered only that she had strangled him and left him to rot in the black mud of the swamp. Well, what was done was done, and there was no use to worry about it. Now, if she reached the outer edge of the swamp by sundown and waited an hour, then set out to the southward — But Gilly hated the dark. "Bright lights," he would say, "gimme de bright lights." Yes, to the southward, that was what she must think about—thirty miles to Edisto Island. By fast travel she could do that by sunrise. Her thoughts came slowly, they made short rushes, stmbled, brought up against obstacles, like a child learning to walk. By sunrise. . . She'd not risk the bridge—but swim across below it. . . Perhaps if Gilly hated the dark so he he wouldn't stay where she had left him. "Saint Helena Island," she said suddenly, out loud. She had heard lots of talk about Saint Helena —two nights farther away—maybe three—thousands of niggers there—lodge members—if she could get there and tell a lodge sister that she was a "Vestal Virgin" they'd hide her sure. The "Virgins" always stood together — even their own men couldn't find out their secrets. . . When dark came on and Gilly couldn't see the stars—only black water—what then. . . Yes, the "Virgins' always stuck up for each other. She remembered once when—He'd be so lightened maybe he'd break loose. In the hot sunlight Hagar's blood was suddenly chill. She mopped her face with the bandana. Then she refilled and lighted her pipe. The Reverend 3 Grayson knew what he was talking about. He had said right out in church that spirit's couldn't walk. Even old Maum Vina believed that—and she had been almost a conjure woman herself with her herbs, and her money in the road. She would think about the Reverend awhile. He always wore that shroud. . . Yes, Gilly would forget that she had saved his life once. . . He'd only remember that she had strangled him and left him with his eyes full of black water. The Reverend—the Reverend—Hagar made a desperate effort to visualise him, but his face eluded her—he was only a column of whiteness against a wall that had a cross painted on it. What had he said that day when he took Maum Vina's hope away from her? . . . Spirits only lived in heaven or hell. . . . That was it. The terror that had been pressing in upon her was suddenly dissipated. Again her mind was a clean blank. She got to her feet and moved about the island, stretched her limbs, and again became conscious of the hazy sunlight that beat down upon her. She saw that the sun was directly overhead, and she realized that she was hungry. Opening her lunch she ate heartily of her cornbread and cold meat, then lay on her belly and drank a few swallows from the side of the island where the water was clearest. A sense of well-being pervaded her body. Why worry? She'd be on Edisto by to-morrow morning. Likely as not they would never find Bluton and think he had gone away. Then Lissa would always be safe. Some day, a long time off, she might even get back to see Mamba again and hear all about Lissa from her. She stretched her length on the grass, and presently, in the steamy narcotic noon heat, she dropped into sleep. She saw Bluton turn slowly over in the mud. She saw the rigid knee and elbow joints give and the man stand upright. Then she saw him following her path through the swamp, but without effort, and this was strange, for his eyes were blind with swamp ooze. Briars that had impeded her did not detain him. He parted the vines and thrust his face into the clearing. She opened her eyes in a stare. And there he was. After the passage of an indeterminable space of time the apparition faded. Hagar was terrified, but she knew what she would have to do before she proceeded on her way. Fighting mosquitoes with tobacco smoke and flailing arms, she retraced her steps and with incredible labour of body and agony of spirit dragged the corpse to the island. Rigor mortis was passing, and Hagar composed the limbs decently, and bathed the face and eyes with her handkerchief. Then, leaving it, gazing up into the open sky, she set off for the outer edge of the swamp. Her spirit soared, her step became light and sure. It seemed that only now was she free of the actual physical incubus. She stretched her arms wide and straightened her broad shoulders. Gilly would rest easy now with the sun in his face all day and (Continued on Page Four) FRED B. WATSON BURNS VS. JOHNSON Twenty-five thousand spectators attended.

She was shed of him at last—free. She made surprisingly good time, and it was still afternoon when she noticed that the trees before her were no longer a solid wall but showed thin places where the light filtered through from the open fields beyond. She was in splendid trim for the journey, her senses keen, her muscles vigorous. In contrast to the depression of the morning she waited in excited anticipaton for the coming of night. Out beyond the trees, where the sun still lay heavy and warm, an abominable mongrel hound rolled over in a broom-straw field, yawned, lifted a fretful hind leg and scratched his mangle ribs. Twenty feet away a cottontail took alarm, hoisted its white ensign astern, and sailed silently away toward the cover of the swamp. A vagrant air caught the scent of the rabbit and trailed it past the nostrils of the somnolent cur. The animal raised its muzzle and tongued, long and quaveringly. From a neighboring hamlet half a dozen answers sounded, bell-like in the heavy silence, and the broom straw commenced to sway to the threshing of excited tails. With her confidence at its height, Hagar heard them coming. An icy hand seized her heart, contracted about it, and her blood crawled frozen through her veins. Dogs! A primal terror that was proof against argument and reason silenced both and paralysed her brain. The clear, high, unceasing rhythm of the tonguing shock along her nerves in waves of exquisite terror. A strange guiding force broke the inertia of her body and worked a subtle change in her appearance. Her nostrils quivered. Her hearing became more acute. She faced the sound and commenced to retreat silently, warily. Her back touched the trunk of a great live oak. She spun around. Then she found herself climbing, reaching always for higher limbs, swinging herself up, panting—trembling. When she reached the top branches she crouched in the heavy foliage and peered down through the leaves and moss. They were nearer now, and the cry had accelerated until it was a taut rope of sound that had one end in her body and that shortened with every second. The dogs had gotten Ned. He had been loose for two weeks after he had cut Bluton. He would have got clean away but for the dogs. The pack passed almost directly beneath her perch. She could scare retain her hold upon the branches as she peered down. Then she saw it for what it was: the flash of a small tawny body with a bobbing white spot, and the parcel of yelping mongrels. Slowly reason returned. They could not have found Gilly yet. Nobody knew he had been killed. She took herself in hand and fought the weakness of fear. She became conscious of sunlight about her, sky above, and, just below, the plateau of treetops. A shadow swept over her, and she raised her eyes. Scarcely twenty feet away she saw a buzzard, the rondure of his belly—the blue-black wings—the baleful, questing eyes. He was not sailing idly, but winging Win With Lucky Lure HAVE GOOD LUCK Don't worry about bad luck. Get everything you want and be happy.

Then another and another flashed past with a soft purring sound of wings against air. A black premonition caused her to turn her head and follow their flight to its destination. She knew in that moment that she had lost. To the eastward, over the spot where the island lay among the trees, the air was black with lying shapes. They sailed in the formation of a water-spout, wide and slow moving at the top but narrowing and whirling faster and faster as it descended until the base disappeared among the treetops like a pointing finger. She looked westward again and saw the air lanes dotted with still other shapes winging steadily down from the rookery at the western extremity of the swamp. So Gilly had won. He hadn't been afraid of the dark, after all. What he had in his mind was that she must bring him out into the open where the buzzards could find him and tell Proe Baggart. Now she knew that it was useless to proceed. The strength of her muscles that could carry her through a race with the living would be unavailing against the cunning of the dead. Gilly had proved that Grayson was wrong. Her gaze was drawn back to the eastern skyline and the whirling column of wings. In the great emptiness of sky it would be visible for miles. Perhaps already Gilly had been missed and searching parties were hurrying along the trail that she had broken that morning. Suddenly, there, in the moment of acceptance of the inevitable, a miracle occurred. Somewhere in the inner depths of the woman's soul, in some remote and secret abiding place, a bolt snapped back, a door opened, and a new courage flooded her being. This was not merely the old force that had always fortified her against physical suffering. It was something radiant that shook through her body in a swift, clean cestasy.

M to be there; to wait expectant for a supreme moment of revelation that she knew was coming. All feeling of urgency left her. No need for speed now. No need even for Mamba. She herself would be sufficient for the event. A strange and beautiful sanity lay across her mind like a shaft of light. She turned it this way and that, and many dark and obscure things were made plain to her. She knew that Mamba had been right about Lissa all the time, that she did not matter of herself, except that now, at last, she was going to give her child something of value; something that she could always remember. Squatting on her limb, with only sky above her and treetops below, her mind turned on Mamba's plan for her, and she saw its great flaw. The white men would take her, and they would want to know everything in her mind. She might try to hide Lissa away in some dark corner where they could not find her, but she knew that would not avail. She had seen other Negroes try concealment, but Baggart and the others had so many ways. Their minds could dig and dance and circle until, at last, cut it came. Then, suddenly, she was upon the answer. Her mind seized upon the idea, turned it over, discarded nonessentials, built logically, beautifully, completely. The moment had come. She was ready. It was past ten o'clock, and Davy wanted to shut up shop and go home. He was the commissary manager now and he frequently kept open until late hours, especially in fever season, when there were no white folks around and the Negroes would gather and talk.

She had a lot of friends and finally she got married Right then she forgot all about the things that had been most important before. She had a home of her own, she got busy taking care of it and part of the time she worked away from home. Her days were busy, there was no question about that. Weeks went by, then months and after a while years. Then she suddenly found that her husband was forgetting her entirely. At first she was broken heaerted. She cried and refused to go out anywhere. Everything was a wreck. The life she had been living so contentedly was something that was gone. This is what she tells me in her letter but there is something more.

She took herself in hand and before her mirror studied herself just as though she were an entire stranger. She dug up an old photograph and studied that photograph and then she studied herself again and right there decided that she was not out of the game after all. She had been attractive once—and her study of the mirror showed her that she had lost that attractiveness. She wasn't the girl her husband had married and from that minute on she set out to be that girl again. I can't tell you here the things that she tells me in this letter but there is a reason why I have passed this little story to you. A good many letters come to my desk from women who tell the same story. They want to know why their husbands are forgetting them—and the only answer I can give them is that they are losing the attractiveness that they once had. They are forgetting to keep physically fit; they are forgetting that a pretty face and a graceful body do mean something in this world's happiness. If you are losing your husband's affections, if you feel he is interested in some other woman, remember that you have a part to play in the game and that the sooner you get to playing it, the sooner you will be sure of use of the telephone and the arrival of the wagon. "In one room there was a great still going full blast, and a row of barrels containing alcohol," Jackson explained. "There were jars of chemical coloring and essences of various liquors used to give flavor and taste. There was a bottle of oil to give the moonshine 'bead,' and enough labels and corks to stock a warehouse." Many and varied have been the hiding places that have come under the suspicious eye of Joe Jackson. No one, for example, would wonder at a man filling his gasoline tank in his machine. Too ordinary, Perhaps! "We caught a fellow that thought he had played it safe by having a two-compartment tank," Jackson laughed. "One side was for gas and the other for bootlegging. When he poured the latter in from a can, no one thought it anything but gas. However, the fellow used to make frequent trips to another city, and that aroused the curiosity of neighbors. Then some of the neighbors smelled his 'gas' and it didn't smell like the proper kind. Well, we got a tip, and soon we had the man." Among other unique hiding places Jackson tells of a colored janitor who should have the prize. "We located a long tube that had been placed in a fire house of a certain office building," Joe said. "By unscrewing the nozzle of the hose it was an easy matter to slip the container in the hose. Just what would have happened if the water pressure had been turned on is a matter that caused me to wonder and the owner too. Guess there would have been a spray of real 'fire water.'" "There was a decided dearth of dandelions in one section of the city, that one of the men noticed and mentioned at the office," Jackson continued. "I thought nothing of it until I noticed a group of children with large baskets who seemed very busy in hunting the little plant. When I trailed them I found their mother, a laudress. Measuring her washtub, it was evident that there was more room than appeared to the eye, so beneath the soiled clothes was discovered a false bottom and within there was found a fairly good quantity of dandelion wine. Searching still further other apparatus was located." But even the ace of prohibition has his troubles. There are plenty of unlucky trips and ones that do not (Continued on page seven) The Illustrated Feature Section will soon resume the notable "great Negroes" series of stories, of which Mr. J. A.

Keen observers all, they were immediately aware of a change in the woman. They had known her as a rather silent person who upon occasions, such as lodge meetings, passed suddenly to the other extreme of temperament and indulged in almost violent bursts of animal spirits. Now, looking into her face, they sensed something new and disturbing. Her heavy features were in repose, but she conveyed an impression of smiling down upon them from a height. Her eyes were wide and unusually bright, and as she crossed the room toward Davy there was immediately evident a new coordination of movement that invested her great bulk with a sort of massive dignity and made her appear almost majestic to the mystified onlookers. When she reached the high counter, she turned her back to it, rested her elbows on it, and stood looking out over the heads of the Negroes, who had resumed their seats and 1920 Suffered a Long Time MRS.

For a long moment she stood so. She did not seem to realize that it was time to shut up the store and go home. She seemed to think that she had all the time in the world. Finally, as though she were not speaking to them at all but to someone who stood at their backs, she put her first, inexplicable question: "Any ob yo' folks eber hear ob a nigger killin' herself by what de white folks calls committin' suicide?" Before her, eyes showed white glints here and there. Heads turned as by a common impulse, then faced her quickly again. A woman's voice said, "Fuh Gawd' sake, Baxter, don't talk dat talk!" Silence. Then a man said, "Everybody know nigger nebber kill herself." "Why dat is?" Baxter persisted in her strangely impersonal catechism "Cause nigger ain't worry herself dat much," came the answer. "Tain't always goin' be like dat," Baxter said in a slow, musing voice, as though she were thinking aloud. "Time comin' when nigger goin' worry jes' like white folks, an' den Gawd goin' show 'em what to do when he trouble get too deep fur he to wade'trough." The fixed attention of the group broke before a wave of uneasiness. Bodies shifted, and someone started to speak. But now Baxter looked down, and her glance travelled from face to face. "Anybody seen any'ting ob Gilly to-day?" she asked in a matter-of-fact voice. The tension broke. Several of the Negroes laughed nervously. A number of voices were raised in negative answers. But her next question alarmed them again by its irrelevance. "Anybody seen any buzzard roun' here to-day?" Yes, they had all ncticed buzzards over the swamp. Somebody had lost a hog, no doubt, or maybe a dead mule had been dragged out there. Hagar stood apparently debating the matter, her gaze again fixed upon the air over the heads of the Negroes. Then with a faint smile she turned to Davy and motioned to a shelf where several dusty account books lay. "Get down dat oldes' book, Davy, an' bring um here." The man obeyed and placed it on the counter before her, studying her the while with his bright, disturbed eyes. "Now turn back twelve year 'til yo' comes to a man by de name Baxter. Ah gots a promise to keep." Davy spun the yellow pages, found what he sought, then raised his eyes interrogatively. "How much he owe when he done get_drowned?" The man peered at the fading pencil scrawl. It was a dollar and a quarter, he informed her. Hagar drew a ten-dollar bill from her pocket. The yellow-back was an unusual sight in the commissary, and the Negroes, their curiosity getting the better of their alarm, crowded forward to see. Still holding the money, she indicated the large glass jar of "jawbreakers" on the counter. "An' how M. DR. S. CHARLES GOULD The truly beautiful complexion is the result of cleansing the skin thoroughly every day to purge it of the dirt and grime that are in the air. The ideal treatment is to first use Poro Soap followed by the application of Poro Cold Cream—this combination leaves the skin clear and fresh and prevents enlarged pores and other blemishes. PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN much for dat bottle ob candy?" "De whole t'ing?" he asked in amazement. "Sure de whole t'ing." Sure, de whole ting. "Well, dere mus be two hundred in dere. Dat'll be two dollar." With a broad gesture Hagar lifted the jar, withdrew the stopper, and poured the contents in a cataract of red and white cut over the counter. "Help yo'selves," she invited. "An' now dat keg ob bounce. How much dat?" Davy, in an incredulous voice, opined that three dollars would pay for it. "You niggers get to dat keg and fill yo'selves up," she commanded. "Ah all de time been wanting to gib yo' a party, but Ah ain't had no free money till now." Slowly they withdrew in the direction of the keg, and Hagar stood looking after them with something of her old childlike wonder in her smile. She turned back toward Davy.

An' Ah ain't done so bad by yo' name." Then she spoke directly to Davy: "What he all come to, Son?" He computed the account at six dollars and a quarter.

It is as though the Baxter whom he had known, and even the strange nature who had been there a mont before, had gone quietly out and another woman had entered. She said in an incisive tone of comed, "Now get a pen 'n' paper, an'e down what Ah say. Time's pass, an' Ah got to be gettin' along n." She raised her voice and led, "Come here, all yo' niggers. Ah n't yo' to swear to dis writin' Ah's n' to gib Davy." When he was ready she dictated a clear, steady voice, never hesling for a word, retarded only by a deliberation of the writer. "Las' night Ah strangle Billy Blun to deat' wid my two han'. Ah al um 'cause he use' always tuh my man, an, an' he git sick ob me an' ow me 'way. Dere ain't nobody be but me when Ah kill um. Deren't nobody know nuttin' bout um up me. Dat's all. Now sign um exter an' gimme de pen so's Ah make de mark." The Negroes stood goggling at her, trifled into attitudes of incredulity, horror, fear. Davy leaned over the paper like an automaton that had in down, its motive power ceasing tile the pen point hovered over the eet. Hagar stamped her foot impatient-"Get on and sign um," she com-anded. "De time's close now, an' got to go." a woman broke through the circle, shing the paralysed Negroes to tilt and left. It was old Vina. She is as frightened as anyone, but she did courage. She laid hold upon exter's arm and pulled her around. 'Wake up, gal, wake up an' talk truit,' she pleaded. 'Dere ain't en a night sence yo' come here it yo' ain't slep' all night in my om.' She turned to the gaping owd. "Don't yo' b'liebe she. Yo'ggers—ain't yo' see ain't right she head?" Baxter brushed the old woman way like a fly. She was shaken by a storm of passion that flung the circle from her like physical force. they backed away, knowing at last at their first impression when she had entered was right. Baxter had at her wits. She glared at them and stamped thunderously upon the door. "Ah's talkin' trut," she shouted, n' ef any pusson in dis shop say n ain't. Ah's goin' make um sorry I he done dead." She spun around again on Davy had shocked him into action. "Write axter." The pen descended upon the paper and the letters fell from its point in jerky succession: "B A X- CLASSIF HELP WANTED—MALE ETECRIVES—Travel, make secret investigations. Experience unnecessary.

"Now," she said, "to-morrow yo' take dat to Proc Baggart an' tell him Ah sen' it." She dropped the pen, and in the dead silence of the room it rang a sharp, clear note as it struck the counter. Then she turned, and the watchers saw that her passion had passed and she again wore the odd aloofness of expression with which she had entered. She turned her gaze to the door with its square of misty, moonlight night. "De time's come," she said. "So long, eberybody." For a moment they saw her, a huge black silhouette set on frosted silver; then she was gone. Maum Vina's scream cut the silence and loosed the Negroes from their trance. "For Gawd sake, stop dat gal," she shrilled. "She out she head, an' she goin' do sheself hahm." They jammed through the doorway They jammed through the doorway an scattered out on the piazza. Onl the night was out there; vast and tranquil it lay upon the square of white sand, the pine forests. Above them it was an infinitude of moonstruck mist, its utter silence not even broken by the far whisper of a star. They waited bewildered, not knowing what to do next. Suddenly from the river came the loud bark of a dog, a single shout, then a confused babel of voices. The Negroes broke into a run, and presently they crowded out on the naro'7 wharf. Beside the pier, seeming to strain its spars upward, lay a schooner that had been moored there the day before. Its crew were already at the pier head gesticulating and pointing downward. All afternoon the September spring tide had been pumping its vast burden of water into the low flat river lands, saturating porous marshes and settin; the grass tops awash, piling incalculable tons of brine into salt creeks, brimming secret lagoons. Now the great heart that lay somewhere out beyond the moon turned from systole to diastole and called its tide home. On the pier head the Negroes stood in silence and looked down. There was nothing to do—nothing to say. Below them, so close they could have reached down and touched it, the river drummed against the piles. Beneath its surface sleekness the currents writhed and turned like giant muscles under a velvet skin. So fast it sped. An hour, and its crest would be free of the little rivers and out again into the open sea. END OF INSTALLMENT XV (Continued next week) FIED ADS PERSONAL PARALYSIS TREATMENT.

"Got one what,' I answered. "A gang of rum runners." "All right. I'll be right over too.'" Since a raid had been planned for later that evening everyone was on his toes. "Where are they, Dillon?' I called when I alighted at the designated spot specified by telephone. "Just down this alley." "What makes you think they're runners?" "Acted mighty queer. Stopped at the corner there and listened, while I was standing in the shadow of that tree." "All right, let's bring them in." They found though, what they supposed to be their quarry at the end of the alley. One fellow skulking down the alley was caught and he was commanded to raise his hands, high. "What do you want?" the man asked in shaky tones, of Joe. "We want you," the answer came short and quick. "We have been waiting for you, and you don't get away." One of the men reported that he found no weapons though many tools, none deadly. A long search of the car failed to turn anything up WIGS HAND MADE OF NATURAL HUMAN HAIR. Made to your measure.
