THE RICHMOND PLANET ATTORNEY ALFRED COHEN VIEWS THE TREND OF SEGREGATION. DEATH KNELL OF RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION HAS SOUNDED AND THE OBSEQUIES WILL TAKE PLACE IN U. S. SUPREME COURT. Volume xivii No. 11 ATTO DEATH KNE REGATION OBSEQUIES U. S. Although the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States District Court have sounded the death knell of Richmond's racial segregation ordinance, one of the city's attorneys has told the writer that he will certainly carry the case on to the Supreme Court at Washington, D. C. We will have no objection to attending the obsequies and interment of that ordinance at Washington, D. C., as we have a black suit of clothes and a band of crepe to put around our hat. The writer has been to Washington, D. C., before the Supreme Court of the United States and witnessed the interment of Richmond's first segregation ordinance. By this I mean to say in all seriousness that the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington will close its doors on the city of Richmond's petition. I am sure that the City Council in ordaining the ordinance was dominated by a vociferous minority of our citizens, as three of their number have told the writer before, and since they voted, that they believed the ordinance unconstitutional, but in voting for it we were carrying out the wishes of their constituents. A survey of the better sentiment of the larger portion of Richmond's citizens has proven to the writer's satisfaction that these latter citizens did not want the ordinance passed. The Committee on Ordinance was informed by the writer before the ordinance was passed that by a simple contract of not over ten words a restriction, such as is now found in a large number of deeds of bargain and sale, signed by all property owners on a block, would limit occupancy to either the white or colored race, within the block, for a period of twenty-one years, and that the United States Supreme Court had held such a limitation valid is now, and has the virtue always been the owner of either race to exclude the other from occupancy of a residence, if disposed so to do, within any block in the city of Richmond. It was, therefore, an unfortunate thing for the City Council to pass the ordinance and cause an expenditure of money to attack it and have it declared invalid. J. B. Deans has had the honor, distinction, and the courage to have had the enforcement of the ordinance stayed by a Federal injunction. The writer has never entertained any doubt that the judges of our local courts, had they been appealed to, would have followed the same course as the Federal courts have done in declaring the ordinance unconstitutional, but on appeal by the city to the Supreme Court of Virginia, and from that court to the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, D. C. several years would pass by before a final decision of the latter court was had. It took six years by that course—from 1911 to 1914—to have that august tribunal at Washington declare Richmon's racial segregation ordinance passed in the year 1911 unconstitutional, in the case of Warley vs. Buehman. Hence by appealing to the Federal court, within less time than one year, J. B. Deans will have a final decision from the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, D. C., that the city's ordinance is in contravention to the sixteenth amendment of the United States Constitution and therefore worthless. In order that this may be accomplished, the lawyers of J. B. Deans must oppose the granting of a writ of certiorari by the Supreme Court of the United States to the city of Richmond" on its appeal to that tribunal for the writ, which writ is in plain language a command to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals to send all papers in the case up to that high and honorable court to its decision. --- FOUNDER'S DAY AT HAMPTON The address at the celebration of the Founder's Day at Hampton Institute will be delivered by Dr. Angell, president of Yale, on Sunday, January 26th, in Memorial Chapel, it was announced by Dr. George P.

C. — Between luncheon at the White House and dinner at the British Embassy last Wednesday, General Jan Christian Smuts, former Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, conferred for two hours with a group of twenty white and colored Americans at Howard University on the progress and condition of the Negro and of the inter-racial problems in America. The conference was arranged by the Phelps-Stokes fund and President Mordecai W. Johnson, and was held in the Moorland room of Carnegie Library, which contained a precious collection of Africana and Negro literature. General Smuts stated that it was one of the most interesting and helpful half days spent during his life time. The condition and development of the American Negro were presented in five to ten minute summaries under the following heads: religion; by President Morceau W. Johnson; education, by Dr. J. M. Gandy, President of the Va. Normal and Industrial College; health, by Franklin O. Nichols, of the American Social Hygiene Association; woman's position, by Miss Nannie Burroughs, Principal of National Training School for Women and Girls; industrial relations, by Eugene Kinkle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League; agricultural development by T. M. Campbell, Agricultural Extension Service of the U. S. Government; political status, by Prof. Kelley Miller, and inter-racial relations, by Dr. R. R. Morton of Tuskegee Institute. At the conclusion, General Smuts, himself, addressed the conference, focusing upon the American race question and his new understanding of it as a result of the conference. He also emphasized the advances made by the American Negro, for which information he was deeply indebted to this conference. IN MEMORIAM AMMONS—In loving memory of my husband and our father, James H.

Supreme Calanth Hampton Institute's Choir Will Sing In Foreign Lands. New York City.—The Cleveland City Council on January 13th passed unanimously a resolution which opened the city hospitals to Negro nurses and internes, according to information just forwarded to the N. A. A. C. P. by Charles W. White, member of the executive committee of the Cleveland Branch. The resolution was introduced in the City Council by Dr. Walz, eight-year-old Councilman from the west side of Cleveland who was loyally supported in advocating passage of the measure by the three Negro members of the City Council, Messrs. Clayborne George, Lawrence O. Payne and Dr. LeRoy Bundy. The resolution instructs the City Manager of Cleveland "to make such appropriate arrangements as shall afford to all citizens or Cleveland . . . an equal and reasonable opportunity to receive training as nurses or interns at the Cleveland City Hospital." It further provides that "such opportunity shall in no event be denied or abridged on account of the race or color of anyone seeking such training." Mr. White writes the N. A. A. C. P. that the resolution was approved by the Director of Public Welfare, Judy B. Blossom by City Manager William Hill and by Law Director Harold S. Burton. "This action comes after many years of spasmic but relentless urging and insistence," writes Mr. White, "and I anticipate that it will mean a great deal to Cleveland and other localities." This action by the Cleveland City Council causes that city to take its place with New York, City, where, within recent years, a successful fight was made to secure admission of Negro nurses, internes and physicians in the New York City hospitals. Recently, provisions were made in Bossington to the admission of Negro nurses to certain hospitals in that city. GLENDON O. BRYANT WANTED Valuable information awaits Glendon O.

Glenn, of Illinois, of the invitation to deliver the principal address at the national Negro History Week demonstration in honor of the Negro Congressmen in Washington on February 10 gives added assurance of the trumpnant success of the undertakings. The interest is increasing from day to day. Ferrons are daily expressing their desire to participate in this celebration. Wood has come from all three living former congressmen saying that they will be present. Honorable H. P. Cheetham, of North Carolina says that the effort is a most timely one which he keenly appreciates, the Honorable Thomas E. Miller writes that he has already decided upon the subject of his address, the Honorable John R. Lynch writes that he has rearranged all of his engagements so as to allow full participation in the demonstration, and the Honorable Oscar DePriest, now member of Congress, most heartily approves the step and is giving the promoters every assistance and encouragement possible. Preparation for the celebration of Negro History Week at other points in the country is going forward with much enthusiasm. Public and private schools throughout the South are working out special programs adapted to their own peculiar needs. Such schools of both races here and there in the North are also active, and South have modified their schedules of the Negro societies of the churches both in the North and in the rules for the year so as to give the whole time on the second and third Sundays of the month of February to appropriate exercises emphasizing significant achievements of Negroes. Mr. James A. Jackson, of the department of Commerce, was in the city on official government business last week. Mr. Jackson gives valuable assistance and advice to business executives and has rendered invaluable service to Race businesses.

DETT'S CHOIR TO TOUR EUROPE DURING MAY The Hampton Institute Choir, directed by R. Nathaniel Dett, will tour Europe during the month of July, which was announced by the officials. Inaugurating, hostly: The unusually successful appearance of the Hampton Choir in Carnegie Hall, New York, two years age and last year in Symphony Hall, Boston, and the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, brought to Dr. Dett's organization unanimous praise. In view of this accomplishment friend of Hampton and others, in sympathy with the Negro's creative capacity, have made it possible for the choir to fulfill an important mission abroad. It is felt that the singing of Dr. Dett's choir in Europe will have a large inter际an and inter-racial significance, especially in those countries with African possessions. The capacity in music which the Negro is manifesting under the opportunity for development which is now being offered in the United States would, it was felt by backers of the trip, be an important contribution to good will. The Hampton Institute quartette will have a part in the project. INTERRACE MEETING DRAWS CROWD IN "OLD VOL" STATE Leaders Discuss Mutual Problems at Annual Meeting of Tennessee Interracial Committee Nashville, Tenn.—"There is no such thing as a superior race, though there are superior individuals within each race," was the statement of Rabbi Julius Mark, in his key-note address before the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee in this city a few days ago. "The illusion of race superiority is a fallacy," Dr. Mark continued, "and gives rise to a great deal of trouble. The illusion that race prejudice is not instinctive but acquired. Consequently it can be eradicated." Robert E. Clay, state Rosenwald agen and associate interracial secretary, reported that interracial committees throughout the state are contributing largely toward the erection of Negro schools. Judge Dewitt commended the work being done to secure uniform justice for both races, and Dr. Bishop told of the state-wide health campaign that is being carried on. Other subjects considered were institutional care, parks and playgrounds, the welfare of colored women and children, and student interracial activities. The need of better transportation facilities was featured more prominently. The Committee's major objective in the coming year. More than sixty persons were present—representing all parts of the state. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Chairmen, Dr. James E. Clarke and Dr. R. T. Burt; recording secretary, Dr. J. A. Lester; treasurer, Hon. J. C. Napier; chairman Interracial League, Dr. W. J. Hale, state secretaries, J. D. Burton and Robert E. Clay.

My castles are incentive added reason and purpose to the bus HAVE been reading the story of Cecil Rhodes. His life was full of adventure: it makes excellent reading. But the passage that interested me most was this: Riding to the Matopopp one day at the usual four miles an hour, Rhodes had not said a word for two hours, when he suddenly remarked: "Well, le Sueur, there is one thing I hope for you, and that is that while still a young man you may never have everything you want. "Take myself, for instance: I am not an old man, and yet there is nothing I want. I have been Prime Minister of the Cape, there is De Beers (the diamond mines that Rhodes controlled) and the railways, and there is a big country called after me, and I have more money than I can spend. "You might ask, 'Wouldn't you like to be Prime Minister again?' Well, I answer you very fairly—I should take it if it were offered to me, but I certainly don't crave for it." At twenty-five he was so rich that he did not want for any of the things that money can buy; at thirty-five he did not want anything at all; at forty-nine he died. I hope I may never be guilty of writing anything intended to make poor people contented with their lot. I would rather be known as one who sought to inspire his readers with a divine discontent. To make men and women discontented with bad health, and to show them how, by hard work, they can have better health. To make them discontented with their intelligence, and to stimulate them to continued study. To urge them on to better jobs, better homes, more money in the bank. But it does no harm, in our striving after these worthwhile things, to praise once in a while and count our blessings. Prominent among my blessings I count the joys of anticipation—the delights of erecting Castles in Spain. If you would discover the real happy man of history, look for those who have strived toward better treatment to another, drawn by the power of their intentions. They have made every day yield to the joy of the present, and the different joys provided by a wise imagination. I believe in the dreams. I am going to Spain. I have a wife, a son of them, and an constantly building improvements and making alterations. I do not let my work upon them interfere with my regular job. Rather, I restores the job. My castles are incentive to efficiency; they give added reason and purpose to the business of being alive.

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.

She is a native American, apparently by accident in Linden Lake lobby. Danton Morel, friend of Margaret, is a lawyer in Cumberland, where the Cumberns recoures it after seven years. This night foe is found dead with a re- tor by her, and a bone address in sapine is found. By asking Loddon, Madison answers Morel tells Loddon state that he was called a police officer, and signed by Madison. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "He came was forced to it. I did not have a back for that amount. I have been making inquiries, in fact that he was 'savily involved' in our combat West African gold-mining, most of the shares of which you bought for a song less than a year ago, he been buying these shares, and they have been steadily coming in value. On the day he paid up, he thousand five hundred pounds there came another demand for a larger amount." "He's a heart sank though he gave evidence of his persecution, in knew more than he had known. Here was a case. Mr. Morell's affaits which only lead him to ruin and undermine fine schemes of his." "He does not exactly say, 'My interest is interesting.' he said, 'My interest is interesting.' I said, 'A very slight interest.' and I said, 'He was horrified when he learned that he had a good line of business. Leave you the fullest possible message to make any investigation you wish." Luke found the driver of his desk and took out a check. From where he sat Danny thought the signature was a tolerably good torgue. He had thought so when Rex had brought the check to him. It is the simplest thing in the world to Large a name, and so far as he had been able to judge there were no flaws in Rex Leurcree's essay in the numerous times. It is wrong with t' checkt' ask Luke. The other show his head. He was suggesting that I knew the "I am sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Monsieur, but will you see me, Mr. Bird or Scotland Yard?" In spite of his self-possession Danty had rose from his seat. The Sparrow was the last man in the world he wanted to meet that morning. Luke thought for a minute. "Just a moment." He rose and opened the door leading to the corridor. "I shall want to see you again about this check, Mr. Morell," he said. "Why not see me now?" It was a challenge, but Luke Maddison could sense its insincerity. "Mr. Bird has come to see me on quite another matter," he said. "In due course we will interview him together." He closed the door on his visitor as the Sparrow was shown in through the other door. Mr. Bird came heavily into the room and favored every corner with a long scrutiny. Mr. Bird with Maddison? I thought I saw somebody come in whilst I was waiting in the street outside." Luke added curtly, "Mr. Danton Morell, he said, "Do know him?" Sparrow smiled. "As one knows the Lord Mayor—from a distance. I am humble. You never find me bargain' in on society. You had one dress suit seventeen years an wear it twice a year—once for the Police Dinner and once to give the moths a cold." "Do you know anything about him? The Sparrow's wide smile grew wider. "His name an' address—an' that's as much as any policeman wants to know about anybody. Bad business, this young Lefere case, Mr. Maddison. You don't want to appear in it, I suppose?" Luke looked at him, startled. "I? How on earth do I come into?" Mr. Bird coughed. "Well, you do and you don't," he said. "I happened to search the body an' the room. I found three loose checks on the Northern & Southern bank—that's where you keep your private account, ain't it? An' this—" Very leisurely he took out a fat and worn leather case from his pocket, laid it on the desk, and then inside. After a while he found what he was looking for—two folded sheets of paper, evidently torn from a school exercise book. He smoothed these flat and Luke saw a succession of signatures, one under the other: "Luke Maddison—Luke Maddison." "Looks almost as though you'd been scribbled absent-mindedly." The detective shrewd eyes were on the young banker, same time couldn't imagine a business you don't do anything so silly! If you excuse the liberty, I called at the Northern & Southern Bank yesterday. NICOL Margaret Left me in pain in this moment, her own calm asson- ished her. Had she ever loved this slave man who stood before her? afternoon, but they were gone — "reheath" is a good word—an referred me to you. But by an understatement an admirable trick I found that young Mr. Leclerc cashed a check to other day for eighteen thousand. "I gave him a check for that amount." The Sparrow was frankly skeptical: "Did you now? Maybe you'd like to show me the counterior of that check." For a second Luke was taken aback: "If there were any rein for doing so, I could," he said coldly, but "I see Margaret Lefroy could not ished her. Had she ever loved th Mr. Bird was not abashed; he leaned his huge arms on the table and when he spoke his voice was serious. "I've no right to ask—I'm not the sort of man who would attend to pull a blush on a gentleman like you." I put my cards on the table. I check was met in notes and I want to know where these notes want. There's a bird in London I want to catch. I've got one of the little cases on his chest, while it's empty so is my heart. If that check was a forcibly it might get the deceased a bird hat, but I would make it very ceremonial all in a certain man for "therapy." "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Maddison; I want that man's finger prints so much that I wonder I don't knock him down in the street an' asse 'em!" Luke's eyes were averted; he gave no sign until the detective hat laughed. "I'm sorry I can't help you," he said. "The check was drawn by me and signed by me." Mr. Bird rose with a sigh. "You're too kind to the criminal classes, Mr. Madison," he said. "No wonder Gonner Haynes thinks you'a a good teller—six months he got yeas'or me bein' a suspected person. What a man When I tried to pump him about your friend he couldn't let on that he knew him even." "Moreli?" Luke was thrown off his guard as he saw by the Sparrow's grin. "That's the nurse. What's the use of talkin' at cross-purposes? He's the—" "I know nothing about Mordil! Luke was euphatic. He was a friend at Rexs—of Mr. Leferre. He'd rather not discuss him." The Sparrow sighed again, gathered up the papers on which the unfortunate Rex had practised the signature, and stuffed them back in his pocket-book. "Nobody helps the police," he said dolefully. "All hands are against the natural guardians of the children of the poor. I'll be getting along." He offered a limp hand and went heavily out of the room. The door had hardly closed upon him before the telephone bell rang, and for the first time since the tragedy Luke heard the voice of the woman he loved. "Now, you see me to-morrow, Luke?" Her voice was very low. "Now, I may--darling, let me come to you now." But her level voice denied him. "To-morrow--after this / ghastly business, Luke, did Rex owe you any money?" The unexpectedness of the question threw him off his balance, and when Luke Maddison was flurried he was invariably incoherent, for the same reason as others are incoherent in the circumstances—he thought too quickly "Yes—but it isn't worth discussing. He was heavily insured, you know, and I don't think the policy is invalidated. . . ." He heard the quick breath and grew panic-striken. "I was thinking of you—that there was no need to worry about his affairs. He owes me practically nothing." "Will you see me to-morrow?" Before he could reply he heard the click of the hook being depressed. " * * * " "I see no reason in the world why the wedding should be postponed, Luke." ```markdown ``` THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page The last time she came to our inquisition was gone a few days accountant's assistant, and the his affair was never in evidence cept and and not.

He took her in his arms, and she did not resist. Rather, she raised her cold lips to his, and hated herself. But the Judas kiss was his, not hers — that was a tattered comfort. "There is nothing in the world I would not do to make life a little more smooth for you," he saw saying. "If money could buy you happiness I would beggam myself." She mildly sat at this. Here she might try to betray his goodness that was sadly sweet, that saw no reason why the cell should be postponed. He had ruined Rex; he had always hated him. She remembered half-forgotten phrases of his, little irritated comments upon Rex's carelessness in financial matters. He put her at arm's length and beckoned her to say sadly. The puller and the soft shadows beneath her eyes gave her an unearthly loveliness. "Naturally I've been worried sick. What a fool I was on the phone to talk of insurance—it was indecent. I just didn't know what to say—" "Luke, are you awfully rich?" She was always staggering him with questions like that. Why-yes, I suppose I am. The banker isn't doing terrify well on the trading floor, but on the cashier well, you 'n'cw-but I have over half a million private fortune. I thought you knew." She smiled faintly. "I have never asked you. I'm worried about it—poverty. We have been poor—desperately. My father I lust for it.

He is regarding her as a good astonished "If money will give you security, ard of course in why, I'd give you a contract I have in the world—" He saw her incredulous smile and was angry with his self, as though in that gesture of belief he detected some reservation, some grit of insincerity in his offer. "Why not? Thousands of men put all their property in their wifes name! It's a same thing to do—it keeps a man steady and will make us really partner. Wait!" He was at the phone—as eager, as enthusiastic as a boy pursuing some new and delightful idea. "Luke, is that your lawyer you're calling?" Conscience overhelmed her with sudden fear; she realized for the first time the enormity of her treachery and was terrified. "Yes, Hilton—it is Luke Madison speaking . . . you had the right of the antemptial contract? Well, include everything! You have the list of my securities? . . . Yes all. And the cash in bank—everything. My interest in Madison's . . . so, I'm not mad!" "You are!" She was standing by him now, her face white as death. The words came tremulously.

JUSTIN SANDRIDGE RECITAL The Virginia Union University presents Justin Sandridge, the celebrated pianist, with the great Virginia Union University choir of one hundred voices, Wednesday evening, February 5th, at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Justin Sandridge is a truly great artist. To adequately describe the perfection of his playing is an almost unsurmountable task. That he will be awarded a place among the finest pianists of all time is the opinion of critics who have heard him. Sandridge, an American product, was born in Boston and received all his musical training there under master instructors. He made his debut two years ago as guest soloist with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra of 100 men before an audience of 8,000. Mr. Sandridge opened his 1929-30 tour in Washington, D. C. He played in the great music halls of Pittsburgh and other large cities to great audiences—prolonged applause characterized his every appearance. The Union University choir of one hundred voices—the heart-searching beauty of their singing and the measured emotion with which it is charged fulfills the perfect aim of art, which is to excite and then to satisfy. Infinitely touching is the music from this great body of voices, which seems to come out from eternity rather than from human throats. Its rhythm, its exaltation, its sensuous loveliness thrill the ear. NEW VINE BAPTIST CHURCH Charles City County, Va. Rev. W. L. Tuck, Pastor At 12 o'clock noon Sunday, Pastor Tuck brought to his people a wonderful message from Matthews 28th chapter, 19th verse, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations."

Harlem Still Silent on the Mysterious Murder of the Picturesque Battling Siki, Who Could Not Resist the Lure of Gay Life. By Edward H. Lawson, Jr. FOUR years ago a man was murdered - shot down in cold blood on one of the narrow streets of Harlem. Today his murderer still roams unmolested and unknown, with only the punishment of his own conscience to pay for the life of the man he killed. Four years ago, Officer John J. Meehan, in making his nightly round of the cabaret district, stumbled over the body of that man, a gruesome sight, sprawled across the sidewalk in a pool of blood. Two gunshot wounds in his back indicated how he had come to grief. An old pistol was found in the gutter. That was all. Officer Meehan recognized the fellow almost instantly. He was a big, busky chap, black as a man could possibly be; kinky hair, flat nose, and a chubby, laughing face. No one could mistake him. It was none other than Battling Siki, once holder of several boxing championships and victor over the great French ace, Georges Carpentier. They removed him to the hospital, but he was dead and nothing could be done. An investigation was started. Who had fired the shots? Nobody knew. Who had heard them? No one. Who had seen the crime committed? No one. Who had stumbled over the body before the policeman? Not a soul. Evidently Harlem was not awakened by shots at four in the morning. The detectives chose another starting point. Where had Siki been that night? Somehow it leaked out that he had been seen in a certain cafeteria. They questioned the proprietor. Was he drunk? Ken he was pretty well stewed Yep, he was pretty well stewed. Did he argue with anyone, or start a fuss in the cafeteria. Yes, he had engaged in a drunken The Richmond Planet NEW At right is a picture of Battling Siki (Louis Fall), the Senegalese prize-fighter, with the Dutch woman he is reputed to have married in France, and child. Siki was also married in the municipal building of New York City, to Lillian Werner, 30, of 470 West 23rd street, the same address given by the fighter. Siki gave his age as 23 and declared on his license that it was his first marriage.

The photo shows the two battlers posed before the fight, Battling Siki on the left, the referee, and Kid Norfolk, at right. Above are shown Mr. and Mrs. Louis Fall, Mr. Fall being none other than Battling Siki, the singular Senegalese prize-fighter. Though Siki's wife was said to be white, when the marriage became public, she was an octooroon.

Siki had often quarrelled with a neighbor over a liquor bill of $100 which Siki refused to pay. Perhaps—. But that neighbor proved an ironclad alibi. Failing on all sides, the detectives looked up the fighter's past his- Clean Fiction Human Interest Features FAME RICE? tory in order to unearth some enemy that might perpetrate such a crime. Siki, they found, was a boxer, of Senegalese birth. His fighting career had begun in Paris and, after a long series of successive vic- (Continued on page two) "Thomas Fast Hair Grower Is the Glamour of Sudden Wealth and Fame Worth the Price? 2 (Continued from Page One) tories, he met Georges Carpentier, at that time world's light-heavyweight champion. His knockout of the popular war ace in the sixth round of their great battle brought him into international prominence. His early life in Paris had been that of a rather poor gamin of the streets, and the years that followed failed to change his nature. He loved to pick a street brawl simply to display his strength and power, and when he was caught, paid his fine smilingly and went straight to another fight. His sudden rise to pugilistic fame was as much a surprise to himself as to the entire world. The sudden wealth, the glory and the glamor of it all, went immediately to his head. He was a picturesque fighter, and liked nothing better than to toy with his opponents until the last round, and then theatrically knock them out. He boasted that he trained on high life, and wine, and women, and song, and no one doubted his assertions. He was in the midst of receiving fabulous offers for projected fights both here and abroad, when he was suddenly suspended by the French Boxing Federation for a ringside fight that wasn't on the program. Siki grew furious when the suspension was not lifted at once, and decided to cause a furore by letting the public in on a few boxing secrets. First, he charged that the fight with Carpentier had been "framed," and that certain gamblers had paid secretly and heavily in order that they could collect the huge stakes. Carpentier and his manager, Deschamps, vigorously denied the charges and a subsequent investigation failed to substantiate them, in spite of the fact that the referee voiced his belief that the fight was "not on the level." The commission then took steps to deprive him of the titles which he had won from Carpentier. He was now in disfavor both in England and America, where projected bouts in which he was to appear, were barred. Still fighting his way through, he came to America, where he planned a barnstorming tour of the theatres. There were three other fighters in the little troupe; the others were white. The first week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre in New York went over fairly well, and he had been booked to play the Howard Theatre for the week after the next. with a week for a Christmas holiday. It was Monday night, just a few days before Christmas. He went out telling his wife, the former Lillian Werner, whom he had married in spite of the fact that he had a common-law wife in Netherlands, that he was going to "talk with some of the boys for a while." Mrs. Siki went to a movie, and returned home about eleven o'clock. She retired, as it was nothing unusual for the fighter to reach home in the early hours of the morning. About midnight, Patrolman Meehan greeted Siki, whom he recognized from his newspaper pictures. He saw the pugilist enter a restaurant. Four hours later, Meehan made his early morning round of that section. It was dark and still, except for the whistle of the wind through the canyon of tall tenements. Then it was that the policeman stumbled over something—something soft and yielding. It was Siki! For weeks the detectives tried to piece together the story, but Harlem has a way of going mum on occasions. No one admitted having seen the glove slinger after Meehan had passed him at midnight. No one had heard the two shots. No one had stumbled over the body. There were no marks of violence. The gun found in the gutter, yielded no fingerprints. THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Contains MORE STORIES of Extraordinary INTEREST TO NEGROES Than Any Publication in America. LLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 25, 1930 The detectives were stumped, and still are. Siki's murderer has never beer convicted. Perhaps some day the story will come out. It will be interesting the way in which the guilty party eluded the entire New York police force for so long. But, until that day, the murder of the great Negro fighter will remain in the category of "unsolved murder mysteries."

Lissa has blossomed into a maiden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where Fer yoice—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 painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and ts in- terested 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 theit “damndest” to be white. Gardinia Whitmore, a mulatto beauty and the trae flapper type, seeks Lissa’s com- panionship. But Lissa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia’s over- tures. Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany ber on a “wild” party. After much in- ward conflict Lissa consents to go. Bu‘ she soon abandons her accustomed reserve and becomes the scintillating life of the party. Prince, the village sheik, whose favor is courted by all the fair damsets, is at- tracted to Lissa, He proceeds to give Lissa a “good time.” Prince does not mect 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 rifes. 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 ber 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, ~-cog- nizes the necessity of immediate action. Hagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by “Prince” during the latter's under- world 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 find Lissa seated in a corner with her dress torn 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 Went- worth 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. Lissa receives an account of her mother’s suicidal death from Saint, She is con- siderably disappointed, but is comforted by ths kindness of the Grayson home. —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— hands, while her body mingled a tang of sweat and phosphate dust with the druggy perfume of roadside honey- suckle. This memory held a poison that she could not at once identify. Then it came—the beginning of a fastidiousness in herself that had turned her away from the great crea- ture who might soil her dress to the cleanness of Mamba’s arms. A gap. A time of things wanted because of a strange loneliness that needed as- suaging—a fire in her blood that had driven her in a half-desperate search for the unattainable to the Broadens —the roadhous: dances—the last night with Prince. Her last picture of Hagar, the dominant figure of that insane night looming like destiny over the body of Bluton, taking her in her arms and giving her for one brief moment a sense of refuge, of sudden arriva at some remote and illusory goal. It was strange now that she could not remember a word that her mother had ever said. She imagined her as vast, inarticulate power—encompassing love, possess- ing her all the more now because of her silence. She saw now with agonising clarity ‘all that Hagar had given, and now ‘that she had gone there would Tiever ‘be anything tha* she could offer in ‘return. She felt ar impulse to wound herself in some way, believing vague- ly that pain would expiate her thoughtlessness, her indifference.

But while her mind assimilated these facts, coolly felicitating her upon her ec- cape, upon the final complete erasure of the record of her own origin, an inexplicable tremor seized upon her body, shaking her so that she fell into a chair, seized the arms with her sallow, expressive hands and gripped desperately while the tremor Possessed her like the sustained ten- sion of a galvanic current. Presently the seizure abated. Then came weak~- ness as from a protracted illness, and @ pang of loneliness and longing that swelled, mounted, and overwhelmed her, flinging her head down upon her arms, and blinding her with a gosh or tears. With everyone there 1s some pic- ture etched into the child mind by the bite of some early and penetrat- ing emotion. Tt stands there always, isolated, marking the beginning of memory, obscuring lesser subsequent impressions. Up now from under the drifted years this picture flashed into Lissa’s consciousness—a great bruised figure standin, in a doorway with a policeman beside it—a strange salty taste upon her child lips where her mother had pressed a farewell kiss. The girl sat waiting. Her tranced gaze had found the window and had escaped the confines of the room into an infinity of sky. Then another picture began to brighten, assume colour, form—». gigantic black woman kneeling in the dirt of the public road, patting her with great clumsy “I won't go on”, Lissa sobbed, ‘I hate music. if it hadn't been for that, Ma’d be alive today.”’ it-ble will, The old woman would tell her to-go ahead and forget what had happened. Now her only comfort ‘came from sending her ti.ought back ‘to the three impressions of her moth- er, and in a blind search for some way in which she could punish her- ‘self for her selfish neglect. | Beyond the window the shortening September day dwindled into twi- light. In the street the cooling pave- ments called the dark children from the serried houses. They swarmed down, noisy as blackbirds, and flung a gay chattering sound up to Lissa’s room. From the two adjacent Ele- vated lines sounded roar end answer- ing roar as the trains hurtled with ‘mechanical punctuality over the darkening streets. To Lissa they seemed like the tick-tock of a ti- jtanic clock dividing the present into ‘minute segments and hurling it into the limbo of the past. On the Ave- nue the windows of an apartment house lost the red of the sunset, stared blank fo: a moment, then winked to life again, restless in the blue dusk. But these things that ‘Lissa had loved as symbols of her new life had lost their magic. She sat staring through them into the Caro- lina Low Country. Once she rose from her chair, got from a bureau drawer the prayer book that Hagar had given her, opened it at the flyleaf with its inscription, then sat again with the volume in her hands. | a ee | It was not until after breakfast ‘the <ollowing morning that Lissa left her room. She wore the clothes that she had hac on when she came ‘from her music lesson the preceding afternoon, and she went directly to the study of Thomas Grayson, open- ed the door without knocking, and entered. He sat at a large square desk in the middle of the room looking over the notes for the sermon that he weuld deliver at the morning service, |The massive severity of the desk 'made a fitting base for the bust and head of the man who sat there. Lissa closed the door behind her, and stood with her back against it as though taking refuge from some pur- suer, Grayson looked up and saw her face. The live bronze had gone ia lustreless brown, except where it had darkened to violet under the eyes. From swollen lids the eyes ‘looked with a hard brilliance. The |hint of tragedy that had been latent B her expression was suddenly all that he saw there, rendering the face |drawr. and haggard. Her hair was ‘dishevelled, her dress looked as jthough it had been slept in. There |was a shocking incongruity in the [pate of frivo!ous red pumps on her ‘feet. A | His response was characteristic. He said in a deliberately matter-of-fact voice: “Don’t be afraid, Lissa, Come here and tell me your trouble.” Without risinec he motioned to a chair that faced him across the pol- lished mahogany with its piles of SENTISEISETSAI SES SESS S Ts SESE SSO Se So Se HS SS sO OC sess i meticulously arranged papers. The girl hesitated. He seemed unsympa- ithetic—more rock-like than ever in ‘his unyielding power. Then she saw his face soften.

Her reply struck out at a tan- igent, as though she had waited for jhim to finish speaking to say what ‘had long been on her mind. She jleaned forward, swaying slightly in ;her chair. Her speaking voice had caught the tragic timbre of her low [singing notes. Her short sentences were spoken in unconscious rhythm. “I can’t stay Lere now. I can't let it stand like that.

In one of her violent reversions she sprang to her feet. “A hell of a lot you care for other people's troubles!” she flung at him; then she turned to go. “Wait!” She was arrested by the impact of the single word and faced him again, her beautiful expressive body fixed in an attitude of fear iike that of an animal at bay. “Now sit down and keep quiet,” he commanded, For a .noment longer her defiance lasted; then suddenly she bent her head and commenced to cry softly into the croo'. of her arm in the manner characteristic of Hagar when faced by overwhelming difficulties. aoen obediently she resumed her seat. When ~ rayson broke his portentous silence his voice was compassionate but firm. He said: “I’ve thought it all out now, C-ughter. Look at it this way”: he picked up the clippings and selected the one which contained Hagar's confession. Lissa raised her tear-stained face, and he pointed to the words. “That,” he said, “is your mother’s last will and testament. In it she has left you something that she has conceived to be of inestimable value, It was all that she had to give. You cannot repudiate it. You must give her silence in return.” “But it’s a lie. I can’t go on always: living a lie, What am I to do?” “You must carry on. Make your life worth the price that has been paid fer it. There’s 1.0 turning back now without breaking faith with your mother. There’s nowhere for you to ‘go but ahead; no way to praise her but in your works.” “I won't go on,” she rebelled. “I hate music.

He picked up the little prayer book that he had given Hagar, opened it at the flyleaf, and let his gaze rest upon the inscription. "Strange," he said, "that this should be here with us now. When I gave it to your mother I was face to face with my great disillusionment. I had thought that the fight should start at the bottom. I had put everything that I had in me into it, and I had failed. I have learned since that the battle is on here—not in the South. Not that we receive more kindness here. There is a certain kind of cruelty that we meet in New York that is not known in South Carolina. We have been taught to expect things here, and then, and then when we come we find these things denied us. But here we find a market for our own peculiar gifts—talents that are our heritage, and of these yours is the greatest—the gift of song. Nothing can take that from you. You must put the past behind you as I did—as all of our people must do. You must succeed." Lissa's tears had ceased. She sat with her eyes fixed upon the desk before her. The room bore inward upon her, exerting an invisible force against her body—holding it powerless in the chair. Even Mamba had never been so inplacable as this will that had assumed magistracy over her destinies. She knew that the moment when she met Grayson's eyes would see her complete and ultimate surrender. And yet through sheer weakness she longed to turn to that power for support. She knew that Grayson had risen. She heard him moving behind her, then softly the door closed, leaving her alone.

Her own people about her everywhere. But different. Singing for fun—just cutting loose—crying when they wanted to—living up to the limit and never thinking about it. Why couldn't they let her be like that? Why couldn't they let her alone? Saint Julier de Chatigny Wentworth, up from Charleston with his wife and his mother for a fortnight of music and the theatre, settled the ladies of his party in the third orchestra row of the new Metropolitan Opera House, and, appropriating the v.cant seat between them, abandoned himself to the mood of the unique performance. Individual as he appeared in the heterogeneous audience, he yet had upon him the mark of a type. Upon him a dinner jacket seemed a more formal garment than it did when worn by the men who were seated near him, and his tie, too wide for the prevailing mode, had about it the quaint suggestion of a stock. Already, while only in the middle thirties, his figure was commencing to show the comfortable outlines of one who appreciates the pleasant things of life at their full value and who has learned to meet the unpleasant ones with an amiable acquiescence. Yet the face, with its high forehead and thoughtful slate-coloured eyes, showed evidences of having passed through some spiritual conflict.

Beyond the pines glimmered a faint red dawn that cast a vague radiance over the bent or recumbent figures of a number of people. From the figures came a chant, hypnotic in its interminable reiteration of a single strongly syncopated phrase. A limpid mezzo-soprano drew upward from the monotonous level of the chant. Instantly Wentworth recognised the voice—Lissa's—Hagar's—Mamba's. Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can't be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years' standing. Local people, many of whom you know, are highly endorsing Tanlac. For example, Mrs. Ellen White says: "For years I suffered from indigestion. I got no relief from anything until I took Tanlac. After my fourth bottle, I feel like a new person and have a fine appetite." If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can't sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac. It is good, pure medicine, made of roots, herbs and barks. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Money back if it doesn't help you. Accept no substitute.

Rather, get busy and see if your child is up to the standard by the weight and height chart for ages. This scale may be obtained through the Ameri- can Child Health Association, in New York City. And, after finding that your child is underweight and under height, get busy and find out why. If you are sent for by the ‘school, hurry over, without delay. /And, combining new knowledge with ‘your own common sense, take steps to correct any errors which exist.

That's what they're for; and give them your sympathy and understanding. EFer- haps you may be urged to supply a towel each week. soap and a con- tainer for it. Will you crossly grum- ble, or will you express pleasure over the progress in education, when you pack this in the school kit? __No longer are school buildings the high temples of the worshipped “Three R's.” They are the work-shops where pupils are working out the ways and means of good living. Being large houses with windows, they lend themselves to teaching methods of obtaining fresh air indoors. There are a number of ventillation systems used in various schools and both teachers and pupils have to learn how to help in their operation. In some, it is not necessary to open the windows at all, as large machines in the basement circulate the air. In others, the air is changed directly by raising the windows three or four times in the morning and twice in the afternoon while the children stretch and move. These big school houses have to be kept clean and nearly everywhere this is an unnecessarily heavy bur- den, on the school janitor, Children, throw papers and food about when they have been taught not to do this at home. For that reason, “clean- up” campaigns are a part of the regular school programme. Lessons on beautiful paintings and colors and the use of them in the school, are toward the end that children shall want to have cheerful surroundings. But, children are in school only 5 or 6 hours each day. For the rest of the twenty-four, the parent must “carry on.” Under their guidatice, there must be play in the open, up until but not later than 7 p.m.; there must be long hours of sleep for growth, in rooms with windows wide open; there should be quiet in the sleeping room and not more than two in a bed; there should be fre- quent bathing and early rising, so that breakfast may be eaten slowly and the walk to school need not be hurried. - This health programme may seem a large order to the busy parent, but it is not half as large as the loss in nervous energy, money and happi- ness which comes from neglecting it.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS DU BOSE HEYWARD --- (Continued from Page Four) Wentworth's emotions attained that height at which delight and pain are fused into one and become pure ecstasy. Then the curtain descended in a swift, obliterating rush and stilled the voice. But in the wide silence of the auditorium its vibrations kept beating on like a pulse. High in the dome constellations of incandescents commenced to glow faintly. A stir went over the audience. Saint felt sudden anger. Why couldn't they leave him alone in the actuality of the music? Why drag him back into the make-believe of people, walls, lights? The glow brightened and flooded the auditorium, calling him back into full possession of his faculties, and he became aware of the well-dressed audience that seemed to be pressing in upon him. For a moment longer they hung breathless, then shattered the silence with a spontaneous thunder of applause. From the people near Wentworth stray ejaculations and comments leaped clear of the clamour and impigned upon his consciousness. "Good God, where'd she come from?" someone queried. "What's it anyway, a play—an opera—a pageant?" And the r-joiner, "For Heaven's sake, don't label it. That's the trouble with us. What we can't label we damn. Can't you see it's new—different? Can't you feel that it's something of our own—American—something that Stallings and Harley got a glimpse of in 'Deep River'—that the Theatre Guild caught the pictorial side of in Porgy, that Gershwin actually got his hands on in 'spots of his' Rhapsody in Blue'? It's epoch-making, I tell you." Behind Wentworth a man said in a tone of finality: "Well, they've done it. It's native from the dirt up—it's art—and it's ours." "Ours?" a voice inquired. "Do you mean Negro?" "Negro, if you will, yes, but first, American." The auditorium was aclear now, and the fused single entity of the Free To Women Regular $1.00 Treatment Sent Free.

The ugly blur of confused talk swelled suddenly and drowned individual voices. Wentworth let himself go back into his chair. The experience had left him shaken. He hoped that Valerie and his mother wouldn't talk. Sometimes they didn't seem to understand that there were moments when silence can be richer than speech. His emotion had broken his thoughts free from their habitual moorings. Now he'd like just to let them drift. With relief he saw that his companions remained silent, evidently lost in their own thoughts; Valerie with a bright, forward look in her eyes; his mother's lost in reverie. He returned to himself: "God! What music!" he thought. "Primitive?—Sophisticated?—Neither—both. Savage, tender, reckless.

The genius of these two black men baffled and humbled Europe's finest military expeditions. To these men this volume would appear as the Uncle Remus stories appear to Einstein. As a matter of fact, there is no earmark in this group of stories which distinguishes them from the commonly known type of fable, made famous by Aesop and in modern times by Uncle Remus. If there is a distinction to be made it must be based on the unusual excellence of Mr. Cendrars' collection of stories.

The slow throb of music filled the dark, then the curtain of the final act drew up on a stage of swirling mists and vague half-li-hts. Instantly the mood of the play was re-established, fixing the watchers in attitudes of rigid expectancy. Dawn again, but no longer the red of an old despair. A thin, essential radiance breathed upward behind the massed towers of a metropolis. It gathered strength, spraying out like the corona of an aurora, gilding the towers, then dominating them. The music caught the mood of the sky. The arresting dissonances, the sharp syncopations of the early acts, were no longer individually evident but seemed to merge into a broader, irresistible current of sound. The rhythm, too, was no longer a thing separate. It became a force as indistinguishable and pervasive as the life current. It was a fundamental law that moved light, music, the sway of the crowd, the passage of time, in a concerted and inevitable progression. The artificial declamations of operatic convention were gone. The cast was reduced to two elemental forces. The crowd with its heavy massed rhythms and reiterated choruses was the body, and the single transcendent mezzo-soprano that soared above it was the spirit, aspiring, daring, despairing, lifting again. The movement became faster. The voice com- FOR WOMEN only Why worry about delayed periods from unnatural causes. Get Quick Results using FEMINESE—Liquid-Tablet Relief. Used by doctors.

Now he has a big contract and a bright future in Hollywood. 8 Julia Jerome An unhappy wife writes us from New Orleans. My dear Mrs. Jerome:— For years my husband has been untrue to me. Every one in our ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 25, 1930 vicinity knows it. They also know that I have been true to him. Not because I loved him, I suppose, but because I loved nobody else. Now, I do and now I am contemplating being untrue to him. What makes me hesitate is that despite all I have stood from him he will not, I know, stand for any unfaithfulness from me. He will drive me out without a cent and the man I love is unable to support me as I am used to living. Please tell me what to do. Do now what you should have done years ago—get a divorce. With all the evidence you must have against your husband it should be easy to get one. But do it before you are unfaithful and you will feel more justified in demanding a financial settlement. I do not give you any credit at all for being faithful these many years since you had no inclination to be otherwise and since you were evidently being well supported for your patience. Still, I gather you are untrained for work of any kind, so if he is well off it is just that he contribute to your future livelihood by some kind of settlement. If he were not well off I would say you should shift for yourself, since your virtue has been of a negative sort—deserv- By Ruby Berkley Goodwin HAT Flo Ziegfield has done for the American girl, Hollywood seems intent upon doing for the Negro bootblack. During the filming of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's all Negro drama, "Hallelujah," Harold Garrison, known on the lot as Slickum, rose to the height of assistant director. Then at a recent filming of one of the Cohen comedies on Christie lot the studio bootblack was called in and given a very important part in the picture. While Paramount has gone even farther by giving a bookblack a long term contract. Oscar Smith, known as the "Cute Kid" of Central avenue, has been Paramount's official bootblack for years. Every since the passing of that most beloved actor, Wallace Reid, he has held that position. Before that time he was valet for the great movie star and a bond of friendship grew up between them that has always been the talk of the studio. Oscar became friend, and confidant to "Wally," whom he affectionately called "My Boy." Oscar had talked quite a while before I noticed the stuttering that won the contract for him. "I was born in Topeka, Kansas quite a few years ago," Oscar cheerfully stated. "I was s-sixteen years old b-before I could t-talk at all. I w-went to school tho' for I c-could listen and in that way I learned a whole lot. I r-remember one day I got a w-w-whipping. I was innocent of any wrong doing, but I couldn't say anything. I never blamed the t-teacher for Mr. Roundtree that that he was d-doing right. He was a f-fine old man." When Oscar finished the grammar grades he came west to Phoenix and for five years he played tunes with his shoe rag on the boots of the fastidious in that town. Still being guided by the saying, "Go west, young man, go west," he left Phoenix and came to Los Angeles, where he secured work as head porter in Cookie's barber shop. It was here that he met Wallace Reid and it was at this time he won the nickname, "Cute Kid." When Oscar was younger he was short and slender, now he is inclined to be a little rotund. For years it was his habit to blaze forth three or four times a day in a different and resplendent cutfit of clothing, from hat to spats. But with the passing of years, Oscar's taste has quieted down. He now goes in for real estate and he has acquired some very valuable holdings around and in Los Angeles. "Since I have been on P-paramount lot I have been playing small parts in the pictures—bellboys, w-waiters, elevator boys. When Richard Dix made 'Warming Up' I was the baseball team's mascot; in 'Beau Sabreur,' I played the part of the faithful Sudanese servant." Sometime ago when S. S. Van Dine's "Canary Murder Case" was adapted to the screen, a stuttering bellhop role developed. Oscar was cast for the part. That was the biggest role he had ever played. When the picture was previewed in a Hollywood neighborhood picture place the house almost became hysterical, laughing at Oscar, the frightened, wide-eyed, stuttering bell-hop, who had become unwillingly entangled in the weird murder case. Far-sighted officials saw great possibilities in Oscar, so they rushed to him with a contract and told him to sign on the dotted line. Bootblacking may be a lowly profession and one despised by many, but Hollywood bootblacks have learned that "the way up is down," and they have been called in to work while many a white collar man has stood impatiently outside the Central Casting office, waiting for a call that never came. The Life and Care of Any Good Watch The Life and Care of Any Good Watch THE MUSEUM OF THE ROSE One of the remarkable cases of musical genius was that of Blind Tom, an uneducated Negro born of slave parents, who could play the most difficult classical compositions with the utmost ease.

How to Care for Your Watch and Get the Best Timekeeping Service From It. Follow these simple instructions—and your watch will keep good time. Almost any watch will run for ing no great reward. I suspect, however, that you won't take this advice. You will go ahead and try to have your cake and eat it. too. And you are liable to lose both your cake and your appetite if you do it. And, as a final clap, my dear, I must say that your new love must not be very impassioned or you would be willing to sacrifice your luxuries for it. To be sure, it is nice to have both love and luxury; but, in your circumstances, in trying to have both you may lose both.

A FALL SALAD Don't neglect the salad merely because summer fruits and vegetables are bidding you farewell for a few months. Many, and in fact most, of the salad ingredients are year-round foods, so if you have been catering exclusively to seasonal delicacies, learn immediately how to prepare salads from other constituents. Lettuce is now obtainable at any time. So are oranges, lemons and bananas. If you can't get fresh pineapple, you can get it canned—and this applies to cherries as well. Whipped cream is a year-round delicacy. So try this salad and make it an Autumn favorite. Spread crisp lettuce leaves on a salad plate. Cover with several slices of oranges on which you place two long strips of pineapple and one c' banana. To with a heaping mound of flavored whipped cream and cherry, or colorful berry of any kind. Just before serving sprinkle the fruit and lettuce with a syrup made by mixing several teaspoons of sugar with the juice of one orange and half a lemon. THE ENIGMA OF months after the last particle of oil on the bearings has disappeared. And it goes without saying that injury will follow as surely as night follows day. It must be overhaued periodically—taken apart entirely—removing old dried-up oil and dirt; repolishing parts, to prevent them being spoiled for good timekeeping. Oil in a lady's small watch will last about six or eight months. It takes a grain of dirt the size of a needle point to stop the watch. Dirt will get inside. When you buy an automobile, you are instructed how the machine must be looked after constantly, for which work you pay a service station. Your tiny watch is thousand times finer machine, running constantly, so isn't it reasonable to have it attended to occasionally for a small service charge? DILL PICKLES A Michigan Recipe Fill jars with even-sized cucumbers, with one large dul flower mixed through the center of each jar, and cover with the following liquid: Heat to boiling and pour over pickles while hot. Seal at once. This method assures dills that are crisp, delicious and sure to keep. HOW TO PREPARE VEGETABLE DISHES Many women fail to get the most out of their vegetable dishes, either because they use too much water, or fail to add a touch of sugar. Too much water absorbs the flavor of the vegetable. A dash of sugar in the water (a small quantity of water at that) brings out the full flavor of the vegetable, and also supplies a bit of quick energy food to the diner. A. DELICIOUS ORANGE DISH Put peel from eight oranges in cold water; heat to boiling point, and cook gently, until very tender. Drain; put in cold water, and, when cold, remove membrane and soft portion. Boil one cup sugar and one-half cup water until syrup spins a thread; put in peel, and cook gently, until syrup is evaporated and peel looks clear. Drain on wire cake cooler, and leave in open air until thoroughly dry. Store, and use as required in cakes and puddings. Candied lemon peel may be prepared in the same way. THE EIGHTIES
