THE RICHMOND PLANET SEGREGATION LOSES U. S. Appellate Court Rules Richmond Cannot Segregate. WILSON GETS TEMPORARY INJUNCTION. Perry W. Howard Flails the Southern Lily-Whites. Volume xlvii. No. 10 SEC U. S. App WILSO Perry W Judge Groner Stands Tes The folkwing is the text of the decision rendered in the appeal by the city from the decision against the Segregation Ordinance. UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS Fourth Circuit The City of Richmond, a municipal corporation, J. Fulmer Bright, James R. Shepard, Jr., R. B. J. Organn, and James E. Cannon, the four officer in their official capacity as mayor, Director of Public Safety, Chief of Police, and City Attorney of Richmond, Virginia, appellants, versus J. B. Deans, appellee. Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia at Richmond. Argued November 7, 1929. Deided January 14, 1930. Before Parker and Northcott, Circuit Judges, and McDowell, District Judge. Lucius F. Cary (James E. Cannon on brief), for appellants, and Alfred E. Cohen and Joseph R. Polard, for appellee. For Coriam: We agree with the learned judge below, this case is controlled by the decisions of the Supreme Court in Buchanan v. Warley, 245 U. S. 10, and Harmon v. Tyler, 273 U. S. 16, reversing Tyler v. Harmon, 158 U. S. 139, 104 So. 200. To the same effect as these Supreme Court decisions is the Virginia decision of vining v. City of Clifton Forge, 124 U. S. 781, 97 S. E. 310, which follows them. Attempt is made to distinguish the case at bar from these cases on the ground that the zoninginance here under consideration cases its interposition on the legal prohibition of intermarriage and not race or color; but, as the legal prohibition of intermarriage is itself based on race, the question here, a final analysis, is identical with that which the Supreme Cott has vice decided in the cases cited. We are carefully considered the cases of Euplid v. Amber Realty Co., 272 U. S. 365, and Zahn v. Board of Public Works, 274 U. S. 325, upon which defendant relies; but we do not think that they are in point, they deal with the right of a city for the erection of buildings a particular kind or for a particular use within sections of the city, which manifestly is a very different question from that inward here. That the Supreme Court did not consider that the doctrine of Buchan v. Warley was in any way overlaed or limited by Euclid v. Amer is shown by the fact that Haron v. Tyler was decided, five months after the latter mase and its decision as expressly based on the former, here was no error and decree below is affirmed. CLAUDE SEAY, U. S. Circuit Court of als, Fourth Circuit. A. Attorney J. R. Pollard Associated with Hon. Alfred E. Cohen in the defense of J. B. Deans charged with violating segregation ordinance. FULTON NOTES The services at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, were very inspiring and helpful last Sunday, the message was delivered by our pastor, Rev. C. A. Cobbs.

Subject, "The Duty of Each Officer." It sure was a grand lectureto us all. We are having a Junior League Rally on the 26th of January, 1930. Please help the children on their cards if only one penny. Our friends are welcome in the League every Sunday. Come, we will appreciate a visit any Sunday. L S T. RICHMOND; VIRGINIA; SATURDAY; January 18.1930 ELKS TO FIGHT TO A FINISH The latest developments in the fight between the National and Virginia Elks indicate that a momentous conflict is in progress. The case has not as yet come up on its merits, but the Federal Court here has held that it has jurisdiction in the cause and granted temporary restraining order, prayed for by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. The answer of the Virginia Lodge of Elks will eb filed January 27th. THURKEN, INC., PAYS 6% DIVIDEND Thunberg, Inc., local real estate brokers, featuring the "Thurkean Plan" of real estate financing, paid their first semi-annual 6 per cent dividend to the holders of Thurken preferred certificates on January 1, 1980. This corporation has been doing business in Richmond for the past three years and has built up a large clientele through its activities, especially in the West End section of our city, where they have secured for the colored people of Richmond the beautiful new and modern homes in the Rosewood Avenue and the wood Avenue developments of the Rosewood Construction Corporation. They have handled a large part of all the transactions having to do with the sale of property all around that section, as well as other parts of the city. The "Thurken Plan" was brought about by the pressing need for real estate loans by our people in amounts up to $3,000 as loans for amounts of this size are no longer attractive to the larger financial institutions of the city. They further saw a great desire on the part of people not able to save a sufficient down payment to own homes. To take care of this need they are buying properties in the various sections of the city, remodeling and renovating them, and selling them to the people for small down payments and monthly notes like rent. The certificates issued by this corporation pay a guaranteed dividend of 6 per cent semi-annually and sell at $2.50 per share, with a par value of $50 per share. They can be purchased in any amount with the 10 per cent down payment and the balance in monthly installments. All are fully secured by the assets of the corporation and the loans made by it on Richmond city properties. The authorized capital is $60,000, of which around $15,000 is sold to date. Property which the corporation now owns is valued at $48,500, on which there is a total indebtedness of only $20,954. All loans are made on a monthly payment basis. These certificates offer a safe investment for the person of large or small means in that they are secured by improved property on a conservative margin and the loan being reduced monthly, thereby constantly increasing the margin of safety. They pay a guaranteed dividend of 6 per cent semi-annually and may be purchased in large amounts or as low as one share. They provide a safe investment and render a much needed service to the colored people of Richmond. The corporation would appreciate your inquiry. A.

PRICE FIVE OENTS SES aggregate. CTION. Whites. national Com- peaks Here. Hon. Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, addressed a large audience at the Ebenezer Baptist Church last Sunday night. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes was sponsor for the meeting and presided. Prominent citizens on the pulp, in addition to Dr. William H. Stokes, pastor of the church, were Emmett C. Burke, president of Consolidated Bank and Trust Company; Bernard L. Kenney, secretary-re Treasurer, Commercial Bank and Trust Co.; Lawyer H. M. Green and Mrs. Rebecca Stiles Taylor. Mr. Howard delivered a powerful message to the citizens of Richmond on the political status of the American Negro. There is no member of our group more qualified by training and experience to inform and advise on politics. He has served as assistant to the Attorney General of the United States and is now the national committeeman from the State of Mississippi. Attorney Howard stated that no group within the United States has more reason to be political alive than the Negro. He needs it most. In positive terms he reiterated time and again that lily-whitism in the South is the successor to the Ku Mux Klan and was the most subtle enemy and insidious foe of the Negro. The Klan is the sworn enemy to our progress and in his opinion the Democratic party was an angel compared to lily-whitism. His address was enthusiastically received. Mr. Walter Jackson rendered an excellent solo, accompanied by Prof. E. T. Pollard and Ebenezer's chair under Prof. Walter Jones executed some difficult compositions in a splendid manner. The collection was lifted by Madame Lelia W. Fankett, assisted by Mr. B. A. Cephas and Deacon George Branch. Editor J. H. Murphy, of the Afro-American of Baltimore, was introduced and made a short talk Dr. and Mrs. Stokes received many prominent guests in honor of the distinguished lawyer and politician who made their beautiful manse on Brook Road. State Barbers Meet Here The Barbers' Protective Association of Virginia held a business and social session here at Slaughter's Cafe last Sunday night. Representatives were here from Petersburg, lottsville and Danville. The association discussed the proposed bill Norfolk, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Charnow before the State Legislature which is aimed at eliminating the Negro barber from white trade. Positive action was taken to wage a fight for the defeat of this measure, and all sections of the State are united in the effort. Officers of the State Association are: John S. Powell, president; Benjamin W. Taylor, vice-president; Robert E. Lee, secretary; W. S. Peyton, treasurer. B. B. Andrews, of Norfolk, secretary of the Norfolk Local, and F. H. Norris, of the Petersburg Local, were also leaders in organizing the fight. --- PINKY! COME HERE! LOOK HERE YOUNG MAN—MOTHER TELLS ME YOU'VE BEEN A NAUGHTY BOY!

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ROME "ALIVE" FOR ROYAL WEDDING of Italy — am associated, as European style representative, with the Thom McAn Stores in America, I called upon one of society's favorite bootmakers. "I found him in an exclusive "shoe temple," this ancient, incredibly wrinkled Cavalier Angelo Gatto, calzoleria (Italian for shoemaker), worshipping his creations, "Nothing but crepe de chine shoes will be worn at the royal ceremony," said Cavalier Gatto, with assurance. These are made of rich, corded silk, often with fantastic straps, piped with silver or gold. Reds, blues and greens are the favorite colors, an indication, perhaps, of the gay costumes which will be worn. Signor Gatto spoke deferentially of one particular pair of slippers — twin darlings in white and silver—and I gathered that the golden princess herself would say "I do" in these. (Herbert, N. Y.) Wary of Life BRUCE BARTON MAN who knows Scotland told me of his experience with a Scotch sheeperd. The shepherd seemed to have an uncanny power over the sheep. When he sent out his own peculiar call every one of them, no matter how distant, raised his head and started straight for home. The visitor begged for a chance to try his calling powers. He cupped his hands over his mouth and emitted a noise which to his own ears sounded exactly like the shepherd's call. Not a single sheep responded. Not a single sheep responded. "Don't be discouraged," said the shepherd. "Try again. May be there is a sick one in the flock and, if so, he will listen to you. When sheep are healthy they will follow only their own shepherd, but a sick one may go off after anybody." Every once in a while somebody rises up to criticize us modern parents for devoting too much time and attention to our children's physical well-being. Says such a critic: "Of course, the body is important, but it was given to us not to be exalted but to be disciplined and put down. To lay so much emphasis on the physical is paganism. Our righteous ancestors disregarded the body and paid attention to their souls." This is true, and it might be added that our ancestors, by neglecting their bodies in the interests of their souls, beat us to Heaven by an average of twenty years. They matured young, worried much, and died in what we now regard as early middle life. Moreover, I have always questioned whether they were truly religious, whether it is possible to be religious in the best sense if one is sick and ruled by fears. Old Simeon Stylites believed that it is the business of a saint to mortify the body. He chained himself to the top of a pillar, and became so loathsome that worms lived in his flesh, and he did not attempt to pick them out because he regarded his sufferings as a means of grace. How such an idea could have been born out of the teachings of the healthy out-door Jesus is one of the mysteries of the ages. He mortified no bodies. He healed them, built them up, and sent their owners on their way rejoicing. St. Paul, the great disciple, loved games, races and fights. If it be argued that most of the philosophers have been men of poor health, I venture to contend that the world has more philosophy than it needs or can ever use. And that what is more important is more normal, laughing optimistic women and men. Health is prophylactic. A healthy boy would much rather go to a ball park than a saloon. It's the weak, nervous creatures who demand the stimulus of dissipation. Just as the weak sick sheep go off when a false voice calls.

Now a steelhead is not a salmon, but by experts he has been compared more than favorably to the Atlantic salmon for both fish will take the fly - Steelhead fishing is sport - real sport worthy of the most sophisticated outdoorsman for the indoor used, that employed for seismic lake trout, is very light—Luce or tour hunter feet of very fine silk trout a tiny, alluring fly and a fairly light rod. When the angler picks his skill against the cunning and electric energy of a 14-pound fresh-run steelhead lightning to a finish in his native waters he is well aware that he has a battle royal on his hands. During the early winter and spring, steelheads are caught in many of the streams and rivers on Vancouver island—in the Cowichan in November, December and January, in the Oyster and Tzoulema Rivers in January, February and March. The steelhead is probably one of the greatest fighters known. One of his characteristic tricks is to make a mad 40 or 50 yard dash on being hooked, then he takes the fisherman by surprise by leaping high in the air, showing his beautiful coloring and testing the skill of the angler to the utmost. Though the fisherman may be surprised at this display of funny gymnastics, he must be prepared for an exciting contest lasting anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes. Vancouver Island is reached via the Canadian Pacific Railway to Vancouver, thence to "Princess" steamer to Victoria, whence the angler can proceed by boat/train or other means to the fishing waters. ```markdown ``` THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Choose the Pre Send in Coupon Select You LADIES WILL B SEE THE 4-PIECE Now on Exhibition at 311 North Fo --- Choose the Present Desired.

In the past twenty years attention has been paid only to the progress of the passenger vehicle, while its hardworking 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.

This question is one that has concerned the Negroes of Richmond for some time and at present is being discussed pro and con in many circles. With apologies to our many out-of town readers we venture into this discussion with a desire to help clarify the situation and at the same time create an understanding among Richmonders that will cause all elements here to bend their efforts toward the establishment of a powerful journal. We risk the assertion that the main cause for the difficulties encountered in putting over business and civic movements can be traced to the fact that we have no journal powerful enough to mould the proper amount of sentiment, so essential for the success of these projects. There are three factors in the making of a great journal: a large and appreciative reading clientele; constant advertisers and capable journalistic executives. There are above sixty thousand colored people in Richmond and cities of smaller populations have developed some fine journals. These papers were not always as they are now; and the fine community spirit shown by the ir home readers was largely responsible for their growth. No paper can exist at a profit unless the business men use its columns freely for advertising purposes: VOX POPULI Editorial Page This question is one that groes of Richmond for some being discussed pro and con apologies to our many out-of-ture into this discussion with the situation and at the same standing among Richmond erments here to bend their effulishment of a powerful journey that the main cause for the in putting over business and traced to the fact that we h enough to mould the proper essential for the success of There are three factors in journal: a large and appreciable constant advertisers and caratives.

But the question is whose job it is? And why don't the proper person or persons get busy? To continue as we are drifting, dreaming and talking will not affect the boycott forming against us or alleviate the crisis that will surely affect the entire race. We hear on every hand criticisms of the Church and Ministry, as to their inactivity in fostering those movements that will alleviate conditions and place our race on a better financial foundation. But the question is, are not the Church and Ministry doing their part in the construction of our civilization? In the erection of a building, workmen are assigned to special tasks. One set of men lay the foundation, another set to do the structural work, then follows the plumbers and the electricians, afterwards the plasterers and finishers. So is it in building a civilization. We have Preachers, Teachers, Lawyers, Doctors, Politicians, Business why should the Church and Ministry of our race be expected to be "jack of all trades" or the race suffer? The Church and the Ministry will do enough if they do their exclusive task well; if they foster their educational institutions, carry the Gospel to foreign lands and save the souls of men. Many of our presches, preach from five to ten funerals a week, call on a multitude of sick, assist in adjusting difficulties of a large number of their membership, satisfy the financial doubts of the undertaker, attend numerous conferences and councils, preach for to help some struggling church or churches, and never get to his study to pray and prepare his sermon until Saturday night. Now is it his job to see that our people register and pay poll tax, have we no political leaders in Richmond? Must our churches with their burdens and obligations go into the soap business to supply the soap market of our race or leave it to 'Mexico or Ticonderoga?' Must our Conference reverse its program and enter into the silk hose business to give employment to our young people? Whose job is it? What is the matter with the Jones, the Theodores and Isabelles; why don't they get busy like the Societies and Insurance Companies that take care of the sick and bury the dead. Must the ministers wives of Richmond organize a chewing gum corporation to furnish chewing gum for our sweet girl graduates? Must the churches call their officers together and organize a joint stock peanut company to supply the peanuts our race is now consuming and htus give employment to Jew and Gentile? It should be done, but whose --- Can Richmond Develop A Great Newspaper? job is it? It seem to me we are at the point in our racial construction similar to a building when the carpenters have it await on the plumber electrician and plasterer before they can go on. We are tied up. The church and ministry have build this far, now it is up to the business men the politician and financeers to do their part. It is time as Florine Shappy says to stop "talking foolishments" and the proper persons do the work committed to their hands. The Church Insurance Companies and Societies are bringing things to pass. Let this other crowd get busy, and by so doing we will save our people from economic disaster and re-enforce the work of the church, school and societies. Our secret orders are busy doing their peculiar constructive work; were it not for their activities seventy-five per cent of our dead would be a burden on the church. Years ago the late John Mitchell, Jr., established the Planet, at a time when the reading constituency among us were not twenty per cent of what it is now, and built a lasting memorial to our race. He secured the endorsement of the church, but used his own initiative. Why don't others do the same in other fields. It seems we think we must solve our problems by criticising one, either the white folks or our church and ministry, or we can't function without tying onto the church and overcrowding its program. The church should not be expected to manufacture cigars and cigarettes for our smokers. eW know of one preacher of the other race who went into the wheat business, and being a preacher he named his product "Miracle Wheat," and his enterprise ended in disaster. Why wait for the church and ministry? If they were to turn aside to manufacture tobacco products, no doubt one would want to name the firm Ecclesiastical Cigars and Cigarettes Company with the motto, "He who smokes our products will not have to smoke hereafter," and should you not accept his name and motto he would go out and knock the whole scheme. It is not the church's job to build factories, establish automobile agencies, sell peanuts and taffy in open market, it has its mission, its hands are full, it feels the effect of this period of economic re-adjustment; and those who have been inspired by its preaching should show their words and have a way for our future success and happiness. I. Campbell Garland. DR. HANGOCK'S TRIBUTE TO JOHN MITCHELL, JR. By Gordon Blaine Hancock John Mitchell, Jr., has passed on, In fact, you are enabled to receive the news primarily because the business interests invest large sums in advertising which sums finance the printing of current news and events. Thirdly, men of experience are required to pilot the destinies of a paper. Now for the elements that enter into the situation here in Richmond. The readers insist that a paper of the calibre desired by them be produced before they support it by purchasing. If this were a sincere criticism, there would possibly be a grain of logic in it. But these same folk think any old kind of a paper is good enough for them when it comes to getting some free publicity for themselves. We restate: A second rate paper is not good enough to buy (and incidently help to develop) but it is a good enough free horse to saddle and ride to public notice. We believe that the citizens here are realizing the fallacy of such a position and are increasingly coming to the knowledge that they can get the big journal here after a while by buying this one now. Great and powerful white journals are handy for the poorest man, mainly because the business interests of America invest millions of dollars annually in advertising. These millions enable the journalist to purchase machinery and man great plants for the and in his passing Richmond, Virginia, and thn nation have sustained a great loss! John Mitchell, Jr., was a definite man and lived a definite life and died a definite death. He always set his face like a flint and moved toward his objective with the courage and determination of a great-heart! John Mitchell was a fearless advocate and champion of the Negro's fuller freedom, and he gave, in truth, his life for his people. "He saved others but himself he could not save!" The Negroes of Richmond and Virginia have long been noted for their enterprise and community spirit; they have always sent out leaders who fared to do to or die in pursuit of laudable endeavors; they have achieved most wondrously in divers undertakings at widely distrate points of this far-flung nation. A large share of the success attained by these Negroes must be attributed to the sagacious statesmanship of John Mitchell, whose pen these forty years has been a very sword, striking for civic righteousness and the rights of the Negro. John Mitchell was one of the militant defenders of his stricken race, and long years ago, when the display of stalwart manhood was fraught with far more personal dangers than now, he dared lift his voice like the thunder of the gods on vengeance bent! John Mitchell, Jr., was no ordinary human for he dreamed dreams which came true to bless his struggling people. When he opened his mouth he would not turn back. When he unsheathed his sword friends rejoiced and foes trembled at his advance, for he was ever ready for a fight to the finish! The Richmond Planet founded and fostered by him these many years stands as an imperishable monument to the vision and courage of a man who died a martyr to a great cause. Even if The Planet disappears from the none too well-lighted firmament of Negro journalism, its work has been done and its founder gloriously vindicated and his vision passed on as a blessing to the oncoming generations. John Mitchell was no cringing crawling suppliant overzealous to please everybody by a resort to fence-straddling and "feeling out" tatics. John Mitchell was a definite man and lived a definite life. Once he charted his course through the sea of circumstances, it was sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish! He has returned from the "Western Front" of the Battle of Life with helmet dented, armour pierced, shield bent and battered, sword stained, but unsheathed and sandals torn; but he goes forth stately stepping glory-crowned and victorious! John Mitchell, Jr., was a definite man! We salute our fallen chieftain! For such as he "There is no death; the stars go' down to rise upon some other shore!" TODAY AND TOMORROW BY FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE TODAY AND TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE BEAUTY Beauty, like morals, is a question of latitude; there is no rule of universal application. Shakespeare is the one universal author because he never describes his heroines. Juliet was fourteen and beautiful; that is all he says about her looks. The Scandinavian can picture her as a majestic blonde, the Kafir as a coal-black Venus. The Juliet of the Chinese has slanting eyes; to the Spaniard she must have the long black lashes of the cow-eyed Andalusian Moor. It is a fortunate thing for humanity that tastes in beauty differ. Even the movies have not been able to standardize the feminine ideal. STEAM The U. S. Aircraft Carrier "Lexington" is tied up at a pier in Puget Sound, while her engines are turning the dynamos which generate electric current for the cities of Tacoma and Seattle. This is a good use for a ship of war. It suggests landowners. When the common people were peasants only the land-owning nobles with their hired soldiers went to war. In many states corporations are forbidden to own land except for their own business purposes. The Government is trying by every possible means to get all of the public lands into the hands of individual owners. That is the only safeguard for the nation's future. Land is the one commodity which is limited in supply and unlimited in demand. Sooner or later some other nation will try to take the land away from us. If we own it as individuals we will fight for it; if it mostly belongs to a few persons of wealth we will let them do the fighting and pay taxes to the new owners if the old ones are beaten. MEAT The food faddists have been preaching against the eating of meat for many years. Except in certain types of disease, intelligent physicians tell their patients to eat meat freely, as nature intended they should. Even in cases of high blood-pressure, modern medical practice is not to cut out meat but to counteract it by the liberal drinking of the juice of oranges or grapefruit. Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, lived for five years on an exclusive diet of meat, as the Eskimos do, without ill effects. The Smith Sound Eskimos, so Donald MacMillan reports, eat only meat and eat that raw, as they do not know for example a fire. Sensible people will continue to eat whatever they can digest and as a rule will live longer and happier lives than those who worry about their diet. a way of making our lives earn its keep. It is also an illustration of what happens, sometimes, to water-power. Tacoma and Seattle get their normal municipal supply of current from hydro-electric plants which the cities own. The unusual drought in the Northwest reduced the flow of water and cut down the production of electricity. The great power companies regard waterpower as valuable only as an auxiliary to steam plants, which are already generating twice as much current in America as all the waterpower put together, in most cases more cheaply. ALUMINUN The commonest of all metals, more than twice as common as iron, aluminium was a curiosity at the Centennial of 1876 and only came into general commercial use when the harnessing of Niagara Falls made the electric furnace economical. Alloyed to give it strength, its light weight makes it more useful than steel in hundreds of applications. The largest airplanes are built of it. Now a project is on foot to cast automobile bodies in one piece out of aluminium. That will still further reduce the cost and weight of motor cars. The lighter the car, the less gas, the less wear on tires. The time will come when a serviceable automobile will sell for not more than $250, and run 50 miles on a gallon of gas. WAR The only independent persons are those who own land. The only countries whose people care enough to make a difference those made to largely of individual gathering, printing and distribution of news and opinions. The Negro journalist is cut off from nearly all of this revenue and yet he is expected to bring news to the market just as his white brother does. The tales of privations suffered by pioneer Negro journalists would read like epics of an age of pauperism and privation. Yet these old journalistic fire brands succeeded in bringing out some kind of sheets and did great good. They conceived the idea of operating job plants and using the profits therefrom to keep the newspaper going. Sons and daughters of these sainted veterans testify that even now the think that these job profits should have been invested in bread and butter. The business men invest money in advertising which money is used by the journalist to place the paper into the homes of seaders, thereby giving the advertisers additional prospects: There are sufficient business interests here to guarantee publication of a splendid journal, if they can be aroused to the necessity of investing consistently in advertising.

His choir will accompany him FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. C. C. Scott of Philadelphia; the Pastor elect will Preach morning and night. A memorandum made concerning the principles of many chapels. Matthews erect a constitution and this must be consulted with the historian of late years and growing experience. Jesus useth the didactic principles for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the western address. There was once a formal statement when he was addressing a multitude in Galilee in the midst of the second year of His adultery. The traditional site is the House of Bustin, which we now clearly to the north in driving from Cana of Galilee to the Sea at Thermae. Matthews, who writes typically rather than in chronological order, belongs many of those principles in what we call the Sermon on the Mount, which is recorded in Matthew 5, 6 and 7. We have now the first of three lessons therefrom. All of the fifth chapter should be read in connection with this lesson study. Yes, you should do more: commit just as much of it to memory as you will. You can master at least 5:1-16 right now. Many of the youth in the mission stations on the foreign field can quote the entire third chapters. The address followed a night of prayer. Luke tells us (6:12) that after this prolonged season of petitioning Jesus selected His sermon apostles from among the many disciples. Those twelve mimes in ambling, then to memorize. Then followed the address which proclaimed the principles of the Kingdom. Blackstone, the great lawyer said "The principles of self-will legislation are embodied in the Sermon on the Mount." Those who wanted for declarations about an earthly empire that would outrival Caius were disappointed. Napoleon, in comparing leaders of empires, gave the hope to Jesus as the King of the empire of peace. Nine sublime truths are given in the Beatitudes, each beginning with the attractive word "blessed." The Kingdom that was being promulgated was to be built up within the individual and when thus established could not be torn down by any outside attacks. A state of mind is established which in under spirit control, Do not limit your study to only some of these Beatitudes, but make each one a working principle in your life. Earthly trials may follow. The ultimate is given in verse 12: "Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven." Here great teachings are given in understandable language. "Salt" and "light" are symbols with a clear meaning. New standards are set up and outward observance only is revealed as worthless. Life must be lived in real righteousness in order to be a citizen of the "kingdom of heaven." A test is always found in the way in which we are comfortable people for other folks to live with. Enemies were to be loved and prayed for. The measure of our intercessory prayers for them is an index of our real forgiveness. Human standards were no longer sufficient. The measure of rightness is summed up in the closing verse, "Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." When we look at our fellows from the viewpoint of God we are able to live out each teaching in the various Bedouins.

But that was his type—the type that over estimates himself without regard to what to- morrow might produce in the nature of adversity. All his life Ring Harding had been a tough bet. He engaged in fistie encounters in which he usually came out the victor, since he was considerably talented in that direction. Many people be- lieved he would have whipped Jack Johnson in a fair stand-up- and-take-it fight, and had the powerful fellow trained strenuously; i Vee... ‘ ee ge ai Paneer kg reed ore 2. : e ee.

But fae was game and fought with a gory head. while others said he could have whipped any man in the world— not only Johnson, but Dempsey, Wills and the best of the lot. However, it occurred to more sober-minded thinkers, that Ring Harding was a cowardly brute who knew a very little about pugilism and would never be good enough to present a clever showing in the ring against a scientific fighter. True, Harding had beaten men with his bare fists, but he was never satisfied with an honorable victory. When those men had fallen beneath the sledgehammer blows of his huge fists, he would continue the work by kicking them in the face with his heavy- soled shoes, on the toes of which were Eee ple and not in- frequently, he broke some of his victim’s ribs, “kicking the slats” out of them, as gangsters say He wasn’t a stand-up-toe-to-toe fighting man. He was a rough- house butcher. The reputation he had earned for himself made people afraid of him, conse- quently he had no difficulty in handling the members of his gang, who, no doubt, were very much like himself. At any rate, Ring Harding's gang was known for miles along the Mississippi, and as much feared as Jesse James in the days that celebrated outlaw. When people heard that the Harding gang were in their neighborhood they assembled with shotguns and any other useful weapons that were avail- able, and awaited his arrival However, there was a lot of ma- licious deeds laid at Harding's door of which he was wholly in- nocent. Ring Harding was unscrupu- lous in accomplishing his plans Whenever he was in the least offended by any one, such person could. always expect a terrible revenge. The daring gang leader thought more of a smile in times of extreme danger than he did of a frown. So if one smiled in his teeth when he was getting ready to inflict some great ph tical injury, he would be more likely to show mercy. ‘There was an old abandoned building across the road from Lover's reap on the river- front, and this building, which had all the windows knocked out, and which was alive with huge rats that scurried across the unsubstantial walks, fright- ent women, was the head- quarters of the gang.

Besides Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrating, soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creasote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid." Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing LLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 18, 1930 that, they occasionally concealed some of their loot there. They thought the old building would be the last place that would be searched, following a notorious and successful robbery. Moreover, it offered more advantages than any other place the desperate criminals could locate. It was dark and dank inside the building, and when one yelled at the top of one's voice, the sound came back with a fearful echo. However it wasn't at all impossible to hear sounds on the walk, if those sounds were loud enough. Be that as it may, when Ring Harding abducted the William C. Cole baby, and was holding it for five hundred dollars ransom, Margurite Miller, who was the child's devoted governess, launched a stubborn fight to rescue little Corine. She knew that the child's father would wait, thinking the kidnappers would not injure the baby, and further she knew that Cole would set the police after the Harding gang. Therefore, her cool, practical mind took all factors into consideration, and arrived at the irrevocable conclusion that it would be disastrous to trifle with the serious intentions of Ring Harding. Moreover, if the money wasn't immediately forthcoming, the dangerous claws of the kidnapper would close upon Corine's delicate throat. Ring Harding would have murdered a baby as quickly as he would have a two-hundred-pound man. Margurite Miller wasn't stupid, and moreover, she had the courage of her convictions. Once, she had been considered a great swimmer, had several times featured in several water exhibitions in different parts of the state. Moreover, having been born and reared, like Harding, on the banks of the Mississippi, she knew every foot of this territory. Without doubt she would have made an excellen pilot. In any event, she had launched her fight to save the baby, and while William Cole was negotiating with the investigators, Margurite was experimenting with plans of her own. She visited the riverfront, searching the crowd that congregated there, for some trace of Harding, believing that if she saw the man she would know him. And for several hours she loitered about the colored places of business which struck her as being probable hangouts of the bandit leader. But she did not recognize him, if indeed he was there. At about dusk, she began her return trip home. She passed the old abandoned building, and saw the flare of a match through the broken pane of one of the windows.

She didn't remain there long, when she saw a figure scurry forth, the man walking with slithering footsteps . . . Shortly after that, she saw another man appear. This was a large, towering fellow who walked with a swagger . . . He was well dressed and wore a black derby. She could see only enough of his face to notice that the man had a broken nose. When the last of the two had vanished from sight, Margurite waited awhile, hoping that if there was another he would appear shortly. A second later she suddenly dashed into the house. The moment she stepped into the building, she heard the faint cry of an infant. Margurite knew she had found Corine! She was about to leap down the crooked, trembling staircase, when a figure rushed forward and grabbed her. Then began a battle for life! Margurite suspected that she was wrestling with a woman. Her suspicions were well-founded for her adversary was Harding's wife, Belle, a notorious creature who was almost as much feared as her husband. . . . This increased Margurite's confidence in her ability to subdue her assailant. She was quicker, if not as strong as her well-gowned opponent, and she succeeded in stripping the clothes from the body of the other woman where she could cut her flesh enough to weaken her. When the fight ended, the only garment Belle wore, was a thin strip of silken material; and her exposed skin was torn and bleeding.

Margurite found the baby in the basement of the building, and carried it to safety. She received a reward of one hundred dollars from anxious parents. But she aroused the enmity of Ring Harding. Nevertheless, Margurite isn't afraid. She smiles when the desperado's name is mentioned. At any rate, she is one woman that Harding has failed to impress with his bullylike attitude. And that smile will win much for Margurite if she does meet him. Certainly Ring Harding's wife is not anxious to encounter Margurite again.

Back home, Hagar disposes of Gilly Bluth the town by committing suicide. Lissa has blossomed into a malden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice—the deep contralto, handed down from Mamba through Baxter—has attracted much attention. Lissa is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia where she meets Frank North, a young Negro pai ter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is interested in Lissa. Lissa is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she tells Mamba that in spite of the fact that she is told to be proud of her Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "damnest" to be white. Gardinia Whitmore, a mulatto beauty and the true flapper type, seeks Lissa's companionship. But Lissa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia's overtures. Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany her on a "wild" party. After much inward conflict Lissa consents to go. But she soon abandons her accustomed reserve and becomes the seintillating life of the party. Prince, the village sheik, whose favor is courted by all the fair damsels, is attracted to Lissa. He proceeds to give Lissa a "good time." Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Lissa introduces Mamba to Prince as the young couple are about to go upon another of their frequent auto rides. The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd falls a victim to Prince's bad liquor, Gardinia, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated spell only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissa have disappeared from the bunch. Gardinia makes good her promise to Mamba to "look out" for Lissa by immediately notifying her of Prince and Lissa's disappearance. Mamba senses the danger and immediately summons Hagar, who, having been told that "Prince" is none other than Gilly Bluton, whom she befriended years before, -cognizes the necessity of immediate action. Hagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by "Prince" during the latter's underworld activities. Thereupon, she and Mamba set out for the cabin. As they approach it, they hear Lissa's frightened voice. When they open the door they fine Lissa seated in a corner with her dress tern and arms locked about her legs below the knees. "Prince" stands over her in a threatening manner. Lissa leaps into Mamba's arms and together they leave the cabin. Hagar, completely forgetting herself, unleashes her great strength upon the cowering and ungrateful "Prince," and strangles him to death with her bare hand. Hagar is forced into hiding. Mamba sends Lissa to New York City, where Saint Wentworth meets her. Saint and Lissa take a taxi for the home of the Reverend Thomas Grayson, who, upon their arrival, offers Lissa the protection of his home—especially after Lissa produces the address given to her mother many years before by Grayson. Back home, Hagar disposes of Gilly Bluton's body in the swamp. She also amazes the town by committing suicide. —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— INSTALLMENT XVI pleased her to imagine, had taken Above the metallic roar of the subway a brassy voice shouted "One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street," and, like a succession of enormous exclamation points flung for emphasis after the words, series of posts flickered across Lissa's vision. Gradually the perpendicular bars lessened their speed until finally each exhibited the numerals 125 in black against the glaring white. Behind the girl the hurtling darkness fell away. The train shot out into a pool of light and came to rest with a jerk that precipitated her through a newspaper and against a hostile breast. Doors sprang open with mechanical precision, and with a sigh of relief packed white and black broke their enforced common imprisonment, the Negroes pouring out on the platform, the whites appropriating their places and regarding their retreating backs with resentment and relief. On the platform the dark mass hesitated for a moment, drew deep breaths, stretched limbs, then, like a breaker that has found the shore, it lifted, caught Lissa up on its crest, hurled her before it up the stairway, and deposited her breathless, but triumphant, on the pavement. Saturday afternoon—her first thrilling week of study under Salinski behind her—his grudging word of praise singing in her ears. The day was warm, but the sun lacked the torrid pressure that enervated Lissa during the Southern summers. Over her head the sky was no longer the throbbing cobalt of a Charleston noon, but a thin ultramarine that seemed to lessen the power of gravitation and lift her along with a new buoyance. She swung east in the direction of her home. In her new liberating environment an inherent elegance in her carriage and manner that had impressed her Charleston neighbors as merely amusing lent her distinction and gave her that air of self-assurance which in Harlem differentiates the cosmopolite from the newly arrived provincial. She was clad briefly in dark blue, tailored silk. The colour was a concession to Mamba, the brevity to Harlem. A scarf of flamingo red was knotted loosely about her throat, and a small jaunty hat of the same shade fitted closely about her head. Below the dress a rather astonishing length of champagne silk stocking was evident, and, symbolic of her complete emancipation, these terminated in a pair of red high-heeled pumps. She carried a modish vanity case, and a small umbrella in the accenting colour was pendent from one elbow. With that power to evoke memory which contrast possesses to an even greater extent than similarity, the alien setting switched the girl's thoughts back to her last eventful night in Charleston. She had been a member of the Grayson family for ten days, and with her faculty for expelling from her mind all that caused her discomfort, the tragedy of Bluton's death and her hurried departure were already as completely dissociate1 from her life as a printed story in a book that has been replaced upon its shelf. Out of the experience only one impression remained sharp and actual—Hagar, who in that hour had suddenly materialised out of the characterless parent that it had --- ototic beauty.

It was strange that she could feel no horrice over her mother's act. On the contrary, a latent savagery in her own nature caused her to feel a curious pride, a deep sense of sympathy with her mother, and a realisation of a kinship closer even than that which existed between Mamba and herself. Out of the sheltered life that Mamba had provided for her with its dependence upon the protection that civilization throws about the weaker individual, she had crashed suddenly into conflict with life in the raw, and she had been helpless.

After the years of separation Hagar had stood forth in that ore illuminating hour more real, move vividly alive, than Mamba, for all of the old woman's shrewd planning and untiring devotion. Then, in the moment of parting, had come the climax when the big, inarticulate woman had kissed her hand and she had found herself in her arms. Her reason told her that here was a specific act for which she should be ashamed of her mother, yet by some strange paradox the thought of her was a swift infusion of warmth—a feeling of completeness where before there had been a sense of want—a sudden, inexplicable pride of birth. For the first time in her life she quickened to the realisation of all that Hagar had done for her—the money that she had sent each week for her music—her clothes. And she had never even gone to see her. It made her feel ashamed. "Well," she told herself, "I'll be able to make it up to her before long." Now that Salinski had undertaken her training, and with the money that could be made in New York. She took the brown-stone steps of her new home two at a time. In a vivid flash she saw Mamba's face wearing its mask of ferocious disapproval. Do you call that being a lady? What the hell! Now she was free—neither a lady of the Broaden set nor a waterfront "nigger."

She let herself into the dim coolness of the hall. In the drawing room a song stopped in the middle of a bar, and Ada Grayson parted the portieres and kissed the girl affectionately. With her glasses, her slow, kind smile, she was ridiculously, like her husband in appearance. Lissa had liked her from the moment when the right when the When Pain Comes Two hours after eating What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been overstimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention.

She turned the envelope over and shook out a number of newspaper cuttings and a brief note. Her gaze focussed on the signature: Saint Julien de C. Wentworth. It was a moment before she identified the august name with Mamba's Mr. Saint. Then she read: These clippings will pala you, but you ought to know what they say. In no other way can you realise the sacrifice that Hagar has made for you. To the few of us who know the whole story, she has revealed herself as heroic, a mother of whom you should be proud as long as you live. The body has not been recovered and was probably carried far out to sea. It took Hagar's death to show us what she really was, and I for one am proud to have known her. The body—sacrifice—the awful clippings with their sharp and uncompromising black type . . . The room where she st ild had gone chill with warning. Mr. Saint shouldn't have done that to her. Mamba wouldn't have let him if she had known. She wasn't used to pain. Hagar dead. She felt the warmth that had infused her being from her mother's last kiss slowly ebbing, while a strange numbness took its place. She had a premonition that if she read the clippings she would find herself to blame would have so accept the responsibility—be answerable for the event. Why not simply accept the facts—death—loss—and destroy the papers that lay defenceless before her, yet which menaced her peace of mind? She should save herself for the sake of her art—Mamba had wanted that—Hagar herself. How could she be expected to sing and be gay with her mind full of trouble? Still undecided, she lifted the printed strips. One of them dropped face up no the dresser. NEGRESS MURDERS LOVER THEN TAKES OWN LIFE. But that wasn't so. Her mother had never loved Prince. Now she was impelled to proceed. She commenced to read, her eyes taking in the words and transmitting them to her brain, an, all the while her old self in utter panic, flinging the words of a silly song at her, trying to distract her, to get her away to the old pro- CHICHESTER S PILLS THE DIAMOND BRAND.

"You'll find a letter from home on your dresser, and I know you're anxious for news." Her new buoyance lifted Lissa up the stairs with the effortless spring that had brought her down the street and up the front steps. It shot her breezily into the room and across to the dresser, where the letter lay with her name staring boldly up into her face. Then her mood went slack. The air of the room seemed suddenly chill, inhospitable. She picked the letter up gingerly between a slender thumb and index finger. Whose was the bold, disjointed handwriting? It startled her like the shouting of her name by an unfamiliar voice. Slowly, reluctantly, a slender flexible index finger slid beneath the flap. She paused and examined her hand with an impersonal admiration, deliberately putting off the opening of the letter. The colour, neither black nor white, had never before interested her. Now, in contrast with the dead white of the paper against which it lay, it seemed rather lovely to her with its warm bronze tint, its pointed and polished nails that glittered like little blades in the light. Finally she rolled her CLASSIFIED ADS CLASSIFIED ADS HELP WANTED-MALE DETECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations Experience unnecessary Particulars free.

In a sudden violent synthesis the story before her rushed to completion—assume form—unity—silencing the indecent irrelevance of the song, confronting her with its tremendous implication: if it hadn't been for her, Hagar would be alive to-day. After a while, with a conscious physical effort she wrenched her gaze from the words of the confession; then, with deliberate thoroughness, read the clippings one by one and piled them with mechanical exactness before her. The papers had given an unusual amount of space to the commonplace of a Negro murder. In spite of its colour, it held the elements of excellent copy—human interest—passion—jealousy—and the culminating touch of the confession, superb in its stark simplicity. Lissa folded the last strip, placed it upon the others, and stood gazing out over them at nothing that the room contained. Her brain, busy in estimating the cost to herself, told her that she was safe, that so beautifully had Hagar built her plan that at no point could danger touch her.
