Volume xlvii No. 14 DEATH Jake Fu Broth Jake Funn, 26 years of age, was mortally shot by his brother, "Tit" Tom Funn, Jr., last Saturday night about 8 o'clock. The wounded man was removed to St. Phillip's Hospital, where he died early Monday morning, February 10th. The bullet entered the lower part of Funn's stomach, taking an upward course, perforating his intestines and lodging in his liver. An operation was performed in a futile effort to save his life. Circumstances surrounding the killing are veiled in secrecy, but it is averred that there is the proverbial woman in the case. A man and girl were arrested as material witnesses, and it is said two others are under surveillance. "Tit" Tom is held by the police, charged with the murder of his brother. Jake Funn was married and had two children. His mother, Mrs. Mary Funn, survives, and is heartbroken over the affair. There are brothers, Predella and Andrew, and one sister, Mrs. Nannie Ferguson. GOVERNOR ASKS INQUIRY INTO GEORGIA LYNCHING Atlanta, Ga. — (CNS) — Governor Hardman has telegraphed Sheriff W. C. Tyler and Suthor General Roberts Sf Foy, of Irwin County, to investigate the lynching of Jnmyne Levine, in Ocilla Saturday, Until he receives their reports, Governor Hardman said, the State will take no action in the lynching. Levine was burned by a mob estimated at 500 early Saturday morning, February 1st, after being taken from Sherif Tyler's automobile in the center of Ocilla. The Sheriff had arrested him on a charge of attacking and killing a 14-year-old white girl and was taking him to the Irwin County jail. AT FIRST EAPTIST At the close of the morning services at the First Baptist Church forty converts had walked into the fold of Christ. Rev. Dr. W. H. Skipwith has been conducting the revival for the past week, which will extend for another week. Dr. E. H. Bonly from the west coast Siberia Africa, took up the good work of Dr. Skipwith at the morning service and delivered an able sermon from Acts 8:31. Subject, "Words of the Ethiopian Enoch." Dr. Bonly brought out the fact that sinners were not responsible for their sins, but Christians were responsible for allowing sin to exist around them. His sermon was divided into three stakes: 1st, A man needs; 2nd, A necessity for someone to help; 3rd, A worldwide opportunity within the reach of every living soul. Five converts were brought over through the Sunday School and four under the words of Dr. Bonly. Johnson Moore, a native African boy, was presented to the church oy Dr. Bonly. This boy is being trained for service in Africa. The Veteran Officers Association of Virginia will hold their regular annual meeting at the First Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va., Sunday February 23rd, and a memorial sermon will be preached by Rev. R. H. Bolling in memory of all deceased officers who served in the State militia and the Spanish-American War. The services will begin at 11:30 A. M. A. Very interesting program has been arranged for this occasion. Officers from Richmond, Petersburg and Norfolk will be in attendance. All comrades who served with these officers under the State or in the U. S. volunteer service are cordially invited to attend. MAJ. WM. H. JOHNSON, President. (Staunton Virginia February 13.) city, who was arrested on warrant of a serious charge, was dismissed in Justice Taylor McCoy's court Tuesday morning. Mr. Miller is an employee of a fashionable girls' school of the city, and had as character witnesses some of the leading officials of the school. The charge, which was of a serious nature, was regretted by the colored people of the city exceedingly, and all were glad that the charge proved to be false in the eyes of the court. This being the second charge against this man, it made it all the more delicate. Mr. Miller proved an alibi by neighbors, it is claimed, which showed that it was impossible for him to have been at the point where the act is supposed to have been committed. The alleged act was supposed to have been done on Sunday night, and Miller was arrested the following Thursday night while at his home on Sunnyside. The trial was held Wednesday. Mr. Miller is an officer in the Ebenezer Baptist Church and is married, having two children and a wife. The public seemingly is very glad that the very ugly case has been ended once and for all. Mr. Miller was represented in court by Attorney Curry Carter. J. P. ALLEN TO MAKE RUN FOR COUNCIL (Saunton Virginia February 13.) Mr. Joseph Poole Allen, manager of the S. M. Wilkes & Co., of this city, will run as an Independent in the councilmanic election to be held in June. The vacancy that is caused in the Council was announced some time ago, when it became known that Councilmen Wittz and Cottrell drew the short terms of two years. Three of the councilmen are elected for four years and two for two years. Councilmen Bryan, Wilson and Sillings will serve the four year terms. Mr. Allen, it will be recalled, ran for the Council two years ago and made a splendid run—he was the fifth man. The last campaign was made principally by Mr. Allen's friends; he made no personal camvass at all. RHYTHMIC AND HARMONICA BAND CLASS The Colored Playground and Recreation Association offers to the small boys of Richmond a course on the Harmonica. This course is designed especially to create an understanding of and a feeling for music in the individual, by training him to take part in group playing. Educators throughout the country recognize this fad and have established Rhythmic Orchestras and Harmonica Bands in most of the public school systems. The course will be in charge of one of the best teachers in the city, and classes will meet at 00 Clay Street, the first meeting will be Saturday, Feb. 15th, 1930, 00 Clay Street, 6 P. M. The fee for the course is fifty cents. For further information call H. B. Hueles, Med. 339. SOUTH RICHMOND NOTES The Union Baptist Church is succeeding under the pastorate of Rev. I. C. Garland.

C., Feb. 8.—Without desiring to enter into controversy, but to correct a mistaken impression that has gone out concerning the Smuts Conference at Howard University, a word of explanation to the Negro press seems to be timely. The original suggestion of the conference was made by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, president of the Phelps-Stokes fund. President Mordecai W. Johnson was glad to join with Dr. Stokes in calling the conference. It was understood that no publicity was to be given to the conference except that which was to be sent out by the Phelps-Stokes fund. For that reason no invitations, confidential or otherwise, were sent to the press. Even the public director of the university was not invited. The reporters who accompanied General Smuts were admitted only as a courtesy to the visitor. There was no discussion of the inter-racial situation in South Africa, neither was there time for a public address, nor an address to the student body. The two hours were devoted to a consideration of the status and relation of the Negro in America, under eight headings with five-minute speeches by individual previously designated. Other persons present at the conference joined in the discussion. WASHINGTON PARK By Hardy Revival starts at St John's Baptist Church week of February 23rd.

Prominent Young Woman of Char- lottesville Dies in New York City Mrs. Laura Ferguson Miles died rather suddenly in New York City last Friday, after several days indisposition. She was the granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Ferguson of this city, having spent all her childhood days here, finishing from Jefferson Graded School in the class of 1913, later attending and finishing Virginia State College. She was engaged in teaching until the time of her marriage with Mr. C. Miles of Richmond, Va., making their home in New York City. She was quiet and unassuming and loved by everyone. Her death came as a distinct shock to her many friends. Her life was one that we can well emulate, her sweet disposition one we might well copy. We, the graduating class of 1913, feel that one of our main links has been broken. One by one we too shall answer to that summons, where Mrs. Miles, always known to us as Laura, has answered, and give account of our stewardship held from the First Baptist Church, here on earth. She leaves a husband a child, with Rev. H. E. Williams and baby. Funeral services were where she has been a member since officiating. Number Players Indignant Over PLANET'S Expose Special Investigator Says Students Play Clearing House Numbers A very instructive and inspiring program was presented to the public of Richmond Sunday, February 9th, at 8:30 P. M., in the Leigh Street M. E. Church, under the Inter-Racial Movement of the city. Prominent speakers of both races appeared on the program. Much interest and enjoyment were added to the occasion by the appearance of the Seventh Street Christian Church choir, white. The music was of a very high type and was greatly enjoyed by the vast audience. Rev. R. M. Williams was master of ceremonies, and in his usual graceful manner he presented the program. The celebrated lawyer, Alfred E. Cohen, was the first speaker. He reviewed briefly the history of segregation in Richmond, to which the death knell was sounded in the Louisville case. He said that in the recent attempt to revive this outlawed ordinance he was consulted as to its constitutionality, and told the parties that it was unconstitutional; he took in taking the case to Judge Cromwell, where he receiving a favorable decision; case having been carried by the opposing parties to the Supreme Court of Virginia, which also rendered a decision in his favor. He spoke also of the J. O. West case and the favorable decision secured in this case. Attorney Cohen closed his address amid hearty applause. Dr. Roscoe Brown, an officer of the U. S. Health Department, delivered a very timely and well accepted address to the audience. He stressed the need of all races working together for the common good of all. Dr. Gilpin added wonderfully to the condition of two very charming sales Dr. Rhine, pastor of the Seventh Street Christian Church, was the principal speaker of the evening. He emphasized the importance of man sustaining the proper relationship to Christ. When this is done we are in the proper attitude to help our fellow man. His address was inspiring and instructive. Every one was of the opinion that the meeting resulted into a successful cultivation of a more kindly relationship than had hitherto existed between the races here in our city. Let us have more such meetings. ST. JOHN'S BAPTIST CHURCH Richmond, Va., Feb. 10—Upon the very heels of Deacon Aaron Quarles, who departed this life Tuesday, January 28th, Deacon G. B. Harris died Sunday, February 9th, at 11 A. M. Funeral service was conducted at the church Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. He was buried at his home in Covington, Va. Number Over F Special Inve Clear A wave of vituperative criticism greeted The Planet's special investigator's report on the "Number Situation" here in Richmond. The very fact that such indignation is expressed when exposure is made of an insidious practice is proof that the matter is more serious than what we thought. Any form of gambling undermines the moral and ethical fibre of the community, and when said gambling is known to be unlawful, it is doubly detrimental. It goes without argument that we lose a great deal when we become so hardened to gambling that we not only think it is right, but rage when some Remarkable Series of Coincidents Contribute to Killing of Woman in Fulton ANNUAL REPORT 5HOWS CHURCH PROGRESS Dr. F. W. Williams Urges Greater Social and Spiritual Activities The January annual meeting of the Fourth Baptist Church was largely attended. Every person present felt elated over the rapid growth being made by the many departments and auxiliary bodies of the church, financially as well as numerically. The report as given by Mr. G. W. Gilliam, church clerk, was clear, concise and exact, as well as being highly informative. Dr. Williams, in commenting on the report, expressed appreciation for the efficient work of Mr. Gilliam, and to the working groups, that made possible such a report. Among the leading features of church activities in 1929 were excellent and high type work done by the Evans Payne Home Mission Society (delivering booklets, money and other material assistance) during the year, a community Christmas Sing (sponsored by the Sunshine Union Missionary Circle and the B. Y. P. U.), fine type pageants, plays, musical and literary programs given, perfect service of the Ladies Usher Board on special occasions. The rapid progress being made in the church reflects the most excellent leadership of Dr. Williams, the able pastor. With plans being made for a "five year campaign," Dr. Williams has given the slogan, "Let's put the program over in a big way for God and man." CARD OF THANKS Rev. and Mrs. Fendall W. Williams wish to thank their many friends for kindness and remembrances during the recent holiday season, and take this means of expressing their sincere appreciation. SAMUEL BARBER Samuel Barber, known by hundreds in Staunton as "Sam," has been for the second time committed to the asylum at Petersburg. Barber, who was in Petersburg for several months another time, came back to Staunton much improved and the picture of health, but finally his nerves broke down on him again. Dr. J. B. Catlett and his wife were the complaining witnesses. Barber has been employed at the Wilson Drug Co. and is well liked by his employers, it is said. Much sympathy is being expressed for his condition by both white and colored who knew him. Players In PLANET'S Investigator Says Stu ring House Numbe one says it is wrong.

M. C. A. a few days ago, brought together a hundred white and colored leaders, men and fomen, interested in the promotion of better race relations and better conditions for Negroes in the State of Georgia. The meeting was presided over by Bishop F. F. Reese, of Savannah, and many people appeared on the program, among them Hon. M. L. Duggan, state superintendent of education, Walter B. Hill, state supervisor of Negro schools; Dr. Comer Woodward, of Emory University, Mrs. E. Marvin Underwood, of Atlanta; Dr. D. D. Crawford, Forrester-Washington, Dr. H. R. Butler and others. The discussions of the day centered about a variety of subjects which had been suggested by the various members of the committee, including education, health, housing, legal aid, economic opportunity, transportation, civic advantages, the ballot, etc. The discussion was free and general, and very enlightening. Among the objectives set for the coming year were efforts in behail of a training school for delinquent girls, co-operation with the illiteracy campaign and in the building of Rosenwald schools, efforts for the improvement of health, and an educational campaign in the interest of more favorable public sentiment. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Fourteenth and Broad Streets Presents to the music lovers of Richmond a unique musical program, Sunday night, February 16, 1930, at eight-fifteen P. M.

They will be assisted by the following well known artists: The "Crusaders," a club of mixed voices that stand second to none in the city, under the direction of Mrs. Louise T. Deane. Our own violin virtuoso, Mr. Alvin Campbell, who is an outstanding artist of our city, will be another contributor. Madame C.

PRICE FIVE CENTS OMAN incidents Con an in Fulton Death assuming the form of a fly-wheel to a saw, flew through space for two blocks, plunged through the roof of a house, slashed Mrs. Winnie Jones head fro mher shoulders and buried itself deep in the ground under the floor. This unfortunate occurrence took place in Fulton on Thursday of last week. The timing of surrounding coincides has caused much comment here concerning the happening. On a lot next to the Calvary Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. C. A. Cobbs, was a power saw operated by. He had rigged up an old Ford chassis and a power saw, connecting them with a four inch belt. The Ford mechanism furnished the driving power for the saw, which was used to cut railroad ties. On the left end of the saw shaft was a steel circular saw and on the right end was a balance wheel, about 18 inches in diameter. For some reason the fly-wheel broke from the hub and flew off the shaft in three pieces. One piece crashed against the Ford chassis and broke it like it had been made of papier-mache. Another piece flew backwards and struck a big tree one-fourth of a block away, parting the trunk as if some giant had cleaved it with a herculean axe. The third and fatal piece soared over the church and sailed in its mortal night two blocks up Fulton Hill; where nestled the homes of the descendants of the lamented and sainted Rev. Daniel James. This is a group of houses erected by this beloved minister years ago and stand as a monument to his resourcefulness in days of vore. While this missile was in the air Mrs. Jones was on her way to visit a friend in the last one of these houses. Just as she stepped into the rear door, this winged disc of steel crashed through the roof, tore her knees and shoulders, scattered her face and brains, for a portion of the room and buried itself in the ground under the floor. She never knew what struck her. COLORED WOMAN GETS ESTATE OF $500,000 Chicago, Ill.—CNS)—Mrs. Ella M. King, for thirty-five years the common law wife of the late Charles A. Pulsifer, a board of trade member, won her fight to retain the estate of $500,000 given to her by him prior to his death last February. Pulsifer's granddaughter, Mrs. Alice J. Crockett, sued to deprive Mrs. King of the estate. She charged in her suit that her grandfather was of miserly habits until he suffered a stroke February 9, 1925, and during the two years following Mrs. King wheedled him out of his wealth. Judge Robert E. Gentzel ruled in a twenty-four page opinion that the gifts were voluntary and made without fraud while Pulsifer was mentally sound, thus giving Mrs. King legal right to all she claimed. Mrs. Crockett was awarded Pulsifer's board of trade membership certificate, estimated to be worth $50,000, and five coupons worth $12,500. The Pulsifer home at 4800 South Parkway with all furnishings and two automobiles, real estate worth $125,000, one check for $100,000, and another for $50,000, a half interest in a mortgage, the half worth $87,500, went to Mrs. King. Mrs. King bore Pulsifer, a child and lived under an arrangement by which she used as the wife of Pulsifer's handyman, Tom King, to protect Pulsifer from scandal and have the child she bore him recognized as legitimate.

But if all the units of industry, business, religion, education and society are harnessed together and set to work for the good of the community, the total result will be a revelation of the power of co-operation. RICHMOND is climbing up toward the ideal or sliding back into the rut according as it possesses or lacks community co-operation. You as an individual have power to accomplish almost anything you set out to accomplish. What a man willis to do, that he can do.

Overcrowded Lives One of the Greatest Menaces to the American Home By REV. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK (Baptist), New York. ONE of our most important modern problems comes from the fact that we have an outer world of multiplying complications trying to crowd into a day that will not grow longer, and into a capacity to pay attention that will not expand. In consequence we are like subway trains in the rush hour. Open our doors even a little and endless, pushing things crowd in until the space is jammed and nothing more can enter. As a result we live cluttered lives, frequently with lovely and excellent things pushed out and things about which we do not care entering. This is the secret of failure in thousands of American homes, many going to pieces because love and romance are crowded out. The schedule, that tyrant of modern life that tells us what we must be doing every half hour for weeks ahead, wrecks our homes, the husband and wife having different schedules, and both forgetting to save the situation by scheduling time with each other. Any man who is too busy to schedule time with his family is too busy. Materialistic atheism and beastliness are two kinds of religion, but most irreligious persons are neither atheistic nor beastly, and merely have allowed their time and thought to be pre-engaged. Let the great reverences stand at the center of life, and never let the jostling crowd of things pull and haul you until you yourself become a mob.

Such widespread superstition warps our mentality of our weakness as a race. We rejoice with our barr of the Barber Bill in the Virgina was undoubtedly designed to ber out of white trade. SENSELESS TOMMYROT If we are to judge by the comments and opinions heard about town anent the accidental killing of Mrs. Winnie Jones in Fulton last week. we should venture to say that our schools and churches have a tremendous task ahead in teaching our people how to reason intelligently. Some of the theories and arguments heard around town would be considered antiquated by African tribes and ruled out by sages of the dark ages. The facts are; A man trying to make an honest living was operating a power saw. The fly-wheel flew off and sailed two blocks and crashed through a roof and killed a woman who was visiting at that house. It was nothing unusual in either one of the happenings that occurred. With the little money the average Negro business man makes trading with his people, the wonder is that all fly-wheels have not flown off machinery owned by them. There was nothing unusual in objects traveling long distances under such propulsion. And gravity dictated the point at which the wheel must come to earth. The house and the woman being in the deadly path were co-incidentals of a regrettable tragedy. But to listen to the average conversation on the subject one would think God concocted a diabolical scheme to kill this poor girl for some unexplained reliction or to keep her from having the pleasure of living beyond the limit set by Him. Such widespread superstition and fallacious reasoning warps our mentality and tells the story of our weakness as a race. We rejoice with our barbers over the defeat of the Barber Bill in the Virginia Legislature. It was undoubtedly designed to keep the Negro barber out of white trade. Hoover Disregards the Race Again By William Conklin Brown Unless President Hoover should appoint Congressman DePriest as one of the two remaining members that are to be appointed to the Haitian Commission, he will have again disregarded the race and the appeal of its leaders and the recommendation of Congressman Fish, of New York, that a NEGRO be appointed on the commission. Last week we called the attention of our readers to the seemingly close relationship that existed between Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and the President. News dispatches show that Dr. Moton was a visitor at the White House last week and gave out the statement that he discussed "farming" among Negroes with the President. A few days later President Hoover announced the appointment of the Haitian Commission and named Dr. Moton as a kind of an auxiliary to the commission to study "educational" conditions in Haiti, "to work with the commission." We are too sympathetic to believe that Dr. Moton would release this information to the public to beguile them, for even if he had been pledged to secrecy, silence would have been more appropriate. It is beginning to get "in the wind" that President Hoover does not intend to publicly recognize the race, as an appeal for Southern VOTES. Or rather in an effort to build up a strong "Lily White" party in the South. This may or may not be clever political strategy.

In our mind this delusion has become chronic with the party, and the sooner they get over it the better. A few Southern States went Republican in 1928 in an abnormal political year, when RUM, RACE and ROMANISM was the issue. The South is still Democratic, as will be seen by the returns of the recent State elections in the States that went Republican. Mr. Hoover and the Republican party are traveling on dangerous grounds * * * to gain a state or two in the South and lose several of the large Northern States, where the Negro VOTE is a factor, might not look so well nor count so easy, the day after the coming congressional and presidential elections. It is reasonable to believe that certain qualifications were necessary in the appointment of the commission, especially concerning the tongue of French that is used in the little black republic, but there were many whom we could name that could have qualified.

Reid RECENT STOCK CRASH ADVERTISING CONFIDENCE SPECULATION BLACK HILLS CAMPERS STOP HERE AT YOUR OWN PERIL JOHN W. BUSINESS Albert T. Reid AUTOCASTER With few exceptions 1929 was the best year for business since the War, notwithstanding Wall Street had its biggest disaster. Life insurance companies put on nearly 20 billion dollars in new business in force, and during the past ten years the amount of life insurance on American lives has been doubled and prophets have already declared that we will witness another ten years of equal success. Think of it: It took our companies 80 years to put on their first 50 billion dollars worth of insurance in force, and during the past ten years another 50 billion was added, with the prediction that the next ten years will witness another doubling of insurance in force. In other words, we will see 200 billion dollars insurance in force in 1940. Assets held in trust for the protection of the 100 billion insurance now in force exceed seventeen billion dollars. Probably the most significant statement made about the assets of these companies is that the value of these assets had not been materially changed by the stock market debauch of October and November of 1929. In other words, the value of your life insurance policy has not been changed by the episode. On account of the high degree of its enactment and the high idea of its management, the business of life insurance has been completely dissociated from the speculative security market. We are proud to testify that the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has been under one continuous manage- The Life-Savers. TODAY TOMORROW FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE COMMUNISTS A group of Communist agitators tried to hold a public meeting on the steps of New York's City Hall the other day. They had neglected to obtain a permit for a public meeting and the police dispersed them. They fought the police and some of them got broken heads. Many half-baked thinkers see in that episode an example of tyranny. It was rather an example of the Communists' lofty disregard for all the laws of civilized nations. Their record in Russia proves that their whole scheme of government is more organical than the worst of the Czars. Every American citizen has the right to vote, to be a citizen of the Constitution itself. There is no place in America for those who teach disobedience to law. OVERPRODUCTION The best short phrase descriptive of farming conditions was coined by the Secretary of Agriculture in a radio talk the other day. "Blind production for an unknown demand," were Mr. Hyde's words. Every farmer has experienced the evils of overproduction. The pendulum swings too far each way. One year a short crop brings high prices; the next year M. S. S. ment for thirty-one years and during this time it has never undertaken to use the people's funds placed in its care for speculative purposes, as is shown by its list of assets. The North Carolina Mutual's policy of fair dealing with all of its policyholders is of thirty-one years' record and no one is in better position to testify to this fact than it RECENT STOCK CRASH TISING CONFIDENCE JOHN W. BUSINESS every farmer produces more of that commodity and the markets are glutted at low prices. For the first time in history, intelligent steps are being taken by our Government to keep farmers from competing with each other and to compel them to work together to control production and so make farming a profitable business for all engaged in it. Mr. Hyde is right in saying that the farmers of America face in the coming years as stern a test as ever faced our forefathers. CIVILIZATION Human progress consists in the multiplication of human wants and of the means to supply the new needs. The man who wants nothing we call a savage. He is at liberty to live in the wilds and enjoy life in his own way. The process which we call civilization consists in tempting the savage with commodities which appeal to him so that he will exchange his labor for them. The next step is to teach him to want things so badly that he is willing to live under the rules of the community where they are to be had. The trouble with many folk in America today is that they want things without being willing to pay the price, either in labor or in obedience to the community law. The old law of the Pilgrim Fathers, "He who does not shall not eat is not sufficiently ordered by many parents to let their boys and girls "have a good time" instead of going to work when they have finished school. It is from this irresponsible leisure class that most of the criminals develop, according to the Police Commissioner of New York. NOBILITY In 1913, when the unrest in the Balkans was already threatening Central Europe with vague mutterings of more than two hundred and twenty-five thousand policyholders, many of whom have lived to mature their policies and draw the face value in cash. We have many of the best men and women of the race insured and every policy has adequate reserve behind it to promptly mature it. We closed the year 1929 with over $3,500,000 in gilt-edge assets invested in sound securities, nearly $2,000,000 of which are loaned to our policyholders on first mortgage improved city property and the company's own policies. In anticipation we are working hard to make this the most profitable and successful year in our company's history. 1929 gave us the biggest increase in Industrial debit since 1922. According to the general impressions about the future of the life insurance business, we are hoping to double our business in force as well as our assets during the next ten years. A three and a half million dollar sinking fund for our policyholders, people, with mortgages and policy giving employment to nearly 1,000 loans of over two million dollars, alto members of our own race, and no stock liability, is no record for a company managed and owned in its entirety by the stock of just 67 years from the backs of slavery. We take the method of thanking the press, the pulpit and our policyholders especially, for their confidence and support in making this one of the greatest service stations of the Race in America. C. C. SPAULDING. President. By Albert T. Reid SPECULATION BLACK HILLS CAMPERS STOP HERE AT YOUR OWN PERIL Albert T. Reid AUTOCASTER the Great War which began the next year, Frederic C. Penfield, American Ambassador to Austria-Hungary, attended a tea-party in Buda-Pest, given by the Archduchess Maria Theresa and attended by many of the highest of the Hungarian nobility. "If you were all to be deprived of your titles, estates and fortunes, what would you do?" Mr. Penfield asked. There was silence for a minute or two. Then the archduchess answered, "I do not know what we would do, but I can tell you one thing we would not do," she replied, "W: would not complain." The man who tolled my of the incident was one of the neophiles who was at that party. He has a good job new York and caly a few intimate friends. He has a high title and a great estate in his native Hungary. Like the rest, he lost all, but he does not complain. The Archduchess was right. They are taking their medicine and smiling at the doe. That is true nobility. Savings deposits throughout the nation are showing an upward trend again. They were considerably depleted for a while, money being withdrawn for stock speculation. Life insurance investments are steadily climbing. Henry Ford was right when he said that most men should not deprive themselves under forty in order to save. The old idea that thrift means living a stunted life in youth in order to lose out narrow and bare existence in old age has gone the way of the twelve-hour day and the pension. Every worker today has so above normal living costs on which a small percentage of savings will need comfort in later years. In the meantime, Americans are fortunate in being able to enjoy a wide range of luxuries while still living something by. ```markdown ``` That Communism has its eyes on the Valley is indicated by a letter received by this newspaper this week seeking certain information. While the letter was brief, its main object was to seek the names of the factories, the approximate number of people working in the factories, their racial identity, etc. It will be recalled that the Valley is now the center of the Rayon Industry, and it was in this industry that the Communist tried to organize North Carolina. One of the chief aims of this political party it is said, is to harmonize the race question in industry. They claim that white labor is exploited with low wages, with the threat of Negro laborers—constantly in their face. that Staunton, with its low wages, is certain to undergo some adjustment, is further seen in the fact that, during the week the American Federation of Labor had an organizer in the city, it is stated with the view of organizing the printing trade. Relative to our group, especially in Staunton, organizing will not affect us, as we have but few Negroes who work in the factories; it is claimed that out of the several factories that operate in this city, not more than a half dozen, if that many, Negroes are given employment, or at least or at least this is a personal service town for Negroes, they are employed at the various schools and colleges in the city. But in Covington, Waynesboro, Clifton Forge, Goshen, Fordwick and Craigsville, which are all in the Valley area, almost all the Negroes depend on public employment. We imagine that it will be in these towns that the organizers will attempt to work. In Staunton proper about 2 per cent of the Negroes of the city ore in business of their own of some kind, whether this is lo wor high, we are not able to be as this could only be perturbed by as many organizations with other cities. This means of course, that this many Negroes are either working at trades or have businesses of their own. One of the outstanding features of this city is, if you have something worthy to sell, you have no trouble selling it to the friendly white population. We have in the city several beauty culturists who have an exclusive white trade. Besides, there is a shoemaker whose trade is mostly white; a tinner whose trade is about 90 per cent white, and a blacksmith whose trade is about the same. Besides, the numerous cleaning and pressing places, which cater to everybody; this condition is no doubt as much as is compared with other communities. From what can be learned the average wage for both white and black alike is about two dollars and a half per day. This seems to be about the scale in the factories, for the ordinary laborers of course, this is not a complete survey, nor can it be considered authentic, as such a survey would have to be made by more skilled investigators than The "Tribune" could ever hope to have. The local white paper, in publishing the average teacher's salary in Augusta County and Staunton, showed that the average for colored teachers was about fifty-three dollars ($53.00) per month, the white average about ninety dollars per month. Living in Staunton is high. This statement is taken from twenty white laborers, and five Negro laborers, too-high they say in comparison with the wages received. The past week has seen an agitation in the local white papers relative to the gas rate for the city, which these papers claim is about 42 per cent higher than in other cities. 76c. Toilette Offer. The average wage for personal service in this city, say, for a colored maid or cook is about seven dollars per week ($7.00). The most outstanding endeavor of the race group in this section is farming. There is close to Staunton several neighborhoods that are fairly prosperous. We take the liberty to name Arbor Hill with the Herdens and Browns and others, showing much progress. This is equally true of the New Hope section, and the Christians section. That Staunton is look! forward to buying in the future. Buying is borne out by the fact that Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penny, and the Pugh Co. (of冉oke, combined with local men, known as the Pugh-Blakemore-Stricklen Co.), Merit Shoe Co., Reid Bros. (local), Tip Top (local) groceries all have chain stores in this city. Hey Public!

Se d for The Planet's big CENTRALIA, VA On Sunday, January 26th, the First Baptist Church Sunday School held its installation exercises at 8:30 P. M. They presented a lovely program of readings and songs. The past, present and future of the school were beautifully set forth by Mr. C. E. Glenn, the superintendent; Mrs. H. S. Glenn and Miss Elaine Friend, Mr. C. E. Glenn has been superintendent of the school for eleven years. It has made wonderful progress under his leadership. The installation address was delivered by Rev. C. A. Cobbs, who in a very forceful manner touched on the high points of a teacher's life and work. Looking on the officers and teachers and listening to the discourse of the pastor we felt, that surely we are starting our year's work under very favorable circumstances. Sunday, February 2nd, at 2 P. M., the funeral of Miss Maggie C. Lewis was had. Her death came as a great shock to her many friends. Rev. C. A. Cobbs preached the funeral sermon. We shall remember her as her pictureured as "not dead" but "her sun has gone down when it is yet day." Immediate following the funeral of Mrs Ide W. Branch was had. She also lived very suddenly. She left a husband and six children. Rev. Cobbs preached the funeral. In the midst of all this sadness comes a blessed thought that Mrs. Watkins knew that her "earthly house would dissolve away," and she had sought "the building not make by hands," but eternally in heaven.

Finder please return to Room No. 4, Girls' Dormitory. Diamonds are trumps and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z play the hand so that they will win all of the tricks against any defense? Funeral Parlor Rest Rooms Display Rooms Lodge Rooms Phones: Office Rm.3078. Residence Rm.3708. Amst. nee. ROBERT C. SCOTT, Funeral Director 2223 E. MAIN STREET RICH MOND VIRGINI One of the best ways to learn how to play better Auction is by a study of play players mistakes. To avoid bad play, you need to play well. Here are two examples: Example Hand No. 1 Hearts — K, J, 8, 3 Clubs — K, J, 10 Diamonds — 10, 8, 3, 2 Spades — 7, 5 Y A B Z No score, rubber game, Z deaf, bld one no trump and A doubled, Y passed, B bid two clubs, Z passed and A bid two spades. What is Y's proper bid? It would seem inconceivable that any player would do anything with this hand but pass, but Y was a player of little experience so decided that his proper bid was a double of two spades. With only two tricks as a maximum, Y should not consider a double. To double under such conditions, the player should hold at least three tricks, Y, however, just unexperienced enough to be shrew. The next point to consider with this hand is the proper opening. If you were rash enough to double A's two-spade bid, what would you lead? The proper opening with this hand is undoubtedly the trey of hearts. Y's partner has bid one trump so should have at least one honor in hearts. It is Y's duty to tell Z as soon as possible of the strength in his hand and what suit to play for. The fourth-best is the proper opening if any suit unless it contains two or more honors in sequence. In that event, open the higher honor. in this particular hand, Y made a second mistake. He opened the heart suit but led the jack instead of the trey. Never open an intermediate honor unless holding two in sequence. As a result of Y's bad opening, A B made their two in games and as it was double, they also scored game and rubber. Thus Y's two mistakes, first the bad double and then the bad lead, gave his opponents a game and rubber to which they were not entitled. Example Hand No. 2 Hearts — 9, 5, 2 Clubs — 10, 9, 3 Diamonds — A, J, 5 Spades — A, Q, 10, 7 : Y : : A B : : Z : Hearts — K, J, 10, 8, 6 Clubs — A, K, 8, 5 Diamonds — K, 8, 3 Spades — 6 No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one heart and all passed. If A opened the deuce of spades, how should Z plan the play of the hand? Z should endeavor to play the hand so that he will stand the best chance to make game. Z can lose one heart, one club and one diamond trick and still score game; so he should plan the play with that idea in mind. There are three fineses that are possible: First, he can finesse the queen of spades in the hope that if it holds, he can discard the losing diamond on the Answer to Pr Hearts — Clubs — n Diamonds Spades — Hearts — J, 10, 9 Clubs — 7, 6 Diamonds — none Spades — J, 10, 9 Hearts — Clubs — Diamonds Spades — Diamonds are trumps and Z is in the that they will win all of the tricks again Solution: Z should lead the deuce of clubs and trump in Y's hand with the seven of diamonds. Y should now lead the ten of diamonds. B cannot discard a club for, if he does, Z with two re- entries can set up a club trick. B is, therefore, obliged to discard either a heart or a spade. It makes no difference which of these two suits is discarded as the holding happens to be the same in both hands. Suppose B discards the queen of hearts. Z should discard the same suit that B discards, so he should discard the four of hearts. As's discard at this stage is immaterial. Suppose he discards the nine of spades. Y should now lead the suit B discarded. As B discarded hearts, Y should lead the deuce of hearts, Z winning the trick with the six. Z should then lead the ace of clubs Funeral Parlor Rest Rooms Phones: Office Rfa.3078. Reside ROBERT C. SCOTT 2223 E. MAIN STREET aice of spades. Or, if it loses, he can still discard the losing diamond on the ace of spades and so has lost nothing by the finesse. Second, he can play the ace of spades on trick one and then prepare to finesse the diamond. This can be done by leading the five of diamonds from the dummy and winning the trick with the king in his own hand. He should then turn the five of diamonds from his hand and finesse the jack in the dummy. Played in this way Z must win three diamond tricks if A holds the queen of diamonds. Third, Z must arrange to finesse the heart suit. This can be done by leading the deuce of hearts from Y's hand and, if B also plays a low heart, Z should play the ten of hearts. If B holds the queen, the ten will force the ace, and when Y next obtains the lead, and when Y next leads hearts, the (9), and catch the queen if it is in B's hand. If A holds the queen or ace queen, Z must again lead hearts, the (9), and catch the queen, Z can prevent it from making by finessing in the manner specified. To accomplish this result, Z should be careful to provide at least two reentries in dummy so that hearts can be led from Y's hand at least twice. In the actual hand, Z decided to finesse the spade and B won the trick with the king. B then led a club which Won. here is where W made a mistake. Instead of leading a diamond and playing the ace from Y's hand and then taking a discard on the ace of spade. Z finesse the jack of diamonds which B won. B lead another club which Z won. B then led a diamond winning the trick in Y's hand with the ace. He then led a low heart from dummy and played the ten from his own hand, forcing A to win the trick with the ace. A then led a low club which B won. B then led a diamond which Z won in his own hand with the King. Z had no re-entry in dummy so was torced to lead the hearts from his own hand. B then led a trick with the queen. Played in this way, Z made only two odd, losing two heart tricks, one club, one diamond and one spade trick. See how easy it is to make game by avoiding two fitnesses when only one is necessary, and by preparing a sufficient number of re-entries in dummy. There are only two sure re-entries in dummy, the ace of spades and the ace of diamonds. That fact should decide Z not to finesse the ace of spades, for if it loses and the jack of diamonds also loses, there will be only one re-entry in Y's hand and there must be two. Therefore, trick one should be won by the ace of spades in Y's hand and the low heart led at trick two. Z should play the ten which forces A's ace. Now, no matter how the cards lie, Z should make game. He has an ace lead the nine of diamonds. This plan of play will pick up B's seven, even if guarded three times. Z should lose if one heart, one diamond and one club trick. Even if there are four or more clubs to the queen jack in one hand, Z should make game by throwing the lead. Played carelessly, the hand only scored two odd. Played correctly, the hand should score four odd, game and rubber—quite a difference. Study these two principles involved in the very principles involved are extremely important and come up very frequently- and Y should discard the deuce of spades. Z should now lead the trey of clubs. A should discard the ten of hearts and Y should trump with the eight of diamonds. Y should now lead the nine of diamonds. B cannot discard the king of clubs or Z's four of clubs will be good. Therefore B is obliged to discard the queen of spades. Z discards the four of clubs. A is now forced to discard. If he discards the ten of spades, both of Z's spades are good. If he discards the jack of hearts. Y's trey of hearts and Z's ace of spades are good. In either case, therefore Z must win hearts. If the double of the double "squeeze", that is, of the play that forces both opponents to discard other winning cards. It is a pretty problem and should be carefully co iM ee Aa a. a 5 F Lo (ot PY i Sig 2. a pe edly a we Pe 2 a ot dee ace re é gon 7 = esa . erg at Sg ey ? ot —_— — 2 eN. 7 es, ial Ch ee . a Ms : » ae Seat | oo 2 ee . ot, a + ‘ a o a py ) Se : Pa Sa Bee i ce : j . i f i 4 " Soa are ye ia” PM $ SECOND VICTIM—The D.C.

We back again practically where we were when young gentlemen with sidewishers, colossal cravats, and bootstraps turned finely-shaded hands to /home-made verse (dart-heart, yarn-spurn) on paper lace, also home-made. We've gone sentimental, says Ferdinand A Bunte, who as a manufacturer of the principal modern medium of Valentine exhale, keeps track of these things. "More than 18,000,000 pounds of candy will be required by Americans of all ages to do homage to the patroness of lovers on February 14," theandy manufacturer estimated.

The museum is the photograph of a model, done entirely in sugar, of the new Royal York Hotel in Toronto Canada, the largest hostelry and tallest building in the British Empire.

"As a matter of fact, the present fashion of making Valentine gifts conforms more closely to the original custom than does the more sending of messages, the letter and other chronicles of early English manners refer to the exchange of gifts on Foeen day. Many antiquarians believe Valentine's Day originated in the Roman festival of the Lupercalia, which occurred in February and which was celebrated with an exchange of gifts." t Now Depicts Model SUGAR ROYAL YORK HOTEL This fine piece of work, which stands 42 inches in height, has been approved by the hotel's architect as being an exact model of the Royal York and was recently displayed at the Confectioner Exhibition in London, England.

MAYOR, PHOTO BY SARAH 51 Hours Spent in Kitchen, Survey Shows THE CHEF'S KITCHEN A OHIOCOO-With 9,000,000 men women in the United States on the sick list every day, the chances of the average person being taken ill away from home are great, according to a recent bulletin of the American Research Foundation. "The greatest fear specter in the average person mind is that of being sick away from home," the bulletin declares. "At home the family doctor is available, but on falling ill on a train, in a hotel, or on a motor tour, it is faced with the emergency of ammonizing a strange doctor. To be certain of the best medical skill and ethical practice in such a situation, the best procedure is to telephone a hospital and ask the superintendent to recommend a good physician. The spread of illness in travelling is especially marked among babies. Deprived of the regular supervision of the family doctor, babies are much more likely to become indisposed, than grown-ups. Moreover, they are much more sensitive to charged additional conditions and environmental changes. 51 Hours Spent Survey BY EDWINA NOLAN. Director of Home Service, General Electric Co. Refrigeration Dept. Fifty-one hours a week is spent in the kitchen, according to a survey of 2,000 women, made by the Bureau of Agriculture. This is only an average, the report states, as one-third of the women interviewed said they spent 56 hours or more in the kitchen, while one-half said they spent between 42 and 50 hours, and one-seventh less than 42 hours. The housewife who gets breakfast, lunch and dinner at home spends approximately 21 hours a week preparing meals alone. The remainder of the 51 hours average which is 30 hours spent in washing dishes, sleeping and other work usually done in the kitchen. Using an 8-hour day as a basis, it will be seen that the average woman spends 51 hours of a 64-hour working week in the kitchen. Modern equipment is reducing the number of working hours and the consumption today is more complex. The system is becoming completely artificial, from the egg-boiler to rafts and television. The electric refrigerator is part of the SO ITS YOU! GEE YOURE LUCKY TO CATCH ME IN-IVE BEEN OUT EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS WHO WERE THEY?

The greatest reason for the existence of an electric refrigerator is its function of preserving food at the scientific temperatures of below 50 degrees. Scientists and bacteriologists have proven that the growth of bacteria is retarded and that food will remain fresh a longer period of time, if kept at these temperatures. But an important consideration for the modern minded housewife who would reduce the time spent for kitchen drudgery is the fact that with an electric refrigerator whole meals can be planned ahead of time and placed in the refrigerator. Quantities of vegetables can be bought and prepared at one time and stored for future use. Food can be cooked in larger quantities and stored to be used later as left-over in new combinations, or prepared as a different dish. Of equal importance is the variety of new desserts that can be made quick- with an electric refrigerator.

Augusta St.. Staunton Va. The Way of Life BY BRUCE BARTON GRADUATED from college when muckraking was in its greatest glory. The magazines and newspapers and reformers had filled our youthful minds with so much distressing information that we hardly knew whether the world was a safe place for us to step out into or not. We looked askance on all the fellows in college whose fathers had made money. To be sure, the fathers seemed decent enough old codgers when they visited us at the fraternity house. But we felt that something was dark and bad in their past somewhere. A business man was a being without conscience or intelligence, like a slot-machine. You gave him a nickle and he gave you a nickle's worth of goods. If he took your nickle and with-held the goods, then he was a successful business man. We know better now. In fact, I believe it could be shown that the greatest force for righteousness in the United States today is nothing more nor less than the once maligned BUSINESS. Business is the greatest ally and promoter of Honesty. And more and more I have come to feel that Honesty is, after all, the corner-stone of all the virtues. Nothing has impressed me more than this: Get to the top of a big business enterprise, and nine times out of ten you will find an idealist. You will find a man who has long since ceased to be interested in mere money-making who is staying in business because of what he wants his business to do for his employees, his community, and his country. I do not say that Business is perfect. Far from it. But I do say that the time is past when the young man who goes into business needs to feel that he is making a selfish choice—a choice that cuts him off from service to his fellow men. "Be not slothful in business," said St. Paul, "fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." Many a man, building a big business in America, has, as a by-product of his building, strengthened the character and lifted the ideals of hundreds of his associates, and helped in the regeneration of a whole community. And the number of such men—the idealists of BUSINESS in America—is increasing very fast. OH DON'T BE THAT WAY--YOU KNOW YOU CAN TRUST ME ALONE.

William Moses, nationally known Baptist minister, was a visitor in the city over the week end, speaking in the interest of The Virginia Seminary. Rev. Moses is former pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist Church of this city. Though somewhat graved, the fiery Baptist has lost none of his fire and enthusiasm that has made him famous. On last Sunday he preached at the church and in his discourse in the morning which he once pastored, Mt. Zion, he flayed the Negro minister as false leaders, in many instances. Have dominion on earth was the theme of his sermon. He declared "that any minister who taught the Negro that his religion kept him from so many activities in the social and economic life of the community, was preaching false doctrine."

OUTWITTING the PRETTY WITCH of DEVIL'S HEAD THE BRIDGE People who reside on the waterfront (pictured above) are said to be different from people elsewhere in the world. Strange and baffling mysteries sur round the deaths of people whose bodies are found in this river. Although young Dunkin was not exactly the victim of a deep conspiracy, he nearly lost his life when the witch of Devil's Head tendered him a cup of poison. By John Dyron BRIGHT and energetic young colored lad often made little trips to the Mississippi River front and dropped in at the Devil's Head where Margurite Axtell, colored witch, according to reputation, held the high hand. This young man was Luther Dunkin, a hard-working, ambitious chap, who was determined to make a future for himself. He thought it best to learn as much about his fuutre as possible, and since the witch was a fortune teller of no mean ability, he could see no better way to profit than by obtaining a reading. The dollar that he had to pay for her invaluable services, he considered a mere trifle. Any young man who works as faithfully as young Dunkin always has a dollar on hand to spend for worthwhile causes. The witch of Devil's Head was not an old woman, as some people may be inclined to believe; rather she was young and strikingly attractive. She had her way with men, charmed them, sometimes made slaves of them; all of this was done seemingly without the slightest effort on her part. They called her the witch because she usually had a number of mysterious fetiches about her and was not afraid to gamble on the number 13. This bright chap was born on a stormy night with the witch attending his mother. He has a vague unpleasant memory of the witch of Devil's Head. The Richmond Planet A A struggle followed. Almost before he knew it Luther found himself fighting against odds. Luther Dunkin was not aware of her method of earning a livelihood, and he did not visit her with any intention save that of having his future foretold. However, the woman had considerable to say about this, so when she saw him, and noticed his cold indifference to her charms, she began to practice her most cunning wiles to ensnare him. She determined then that she would bring him on his knees in admiration of her. assuredly would have given a good account of himself. The river front is a bad place, with not infrequently a killing, and quite often a suicide. Near the bridge, many people have grown tired of living and flung themselves into the cold waters of the Mississippi. Numerous human bodies have been found there, and the verdict has most commonly been, suicide. However, some few people living in the vicinity of the bridge appear to should she suddenly take to disclose the secret know possessed. She had hinted "Come back three more succession," she expostulated, "and I'll tell you so m your eyes will pop out of "Good or bad?" Luther gated. "Not bad," she inform "but very good. So much you will feel like taking m arms when I have comp Of course when she sidetracked from the principal issue in their conversation, Luther listened to her somewhat reluctantly. He did not visit her to win any of her engaging smiles, and he didn't care how soon she discovered this. He was already married, and one woman was enough for him; moreover he believed that this was exclusively his concern — without regard to the pretty alluring witch. After his arrival, the witch tendered him a couple of drinks. She led him to believe that she possessed the choicest of wet goods and that they weren't for sale. They were for her clients who had to interest her intensely before she took them in on her private stuff. The young man was not ignorant of the fact that along the riverfront almost anything can happen. Therefore he was prepared for the worst. He did not lack sufficient courage to face the facts without lamentation, and in the event of a show-down where his fighting qualities hung in the balance, he most assuredly would have given a good account of himself. The river front is a bad place, with not infrequently a killing, and quite often a suicide. Near the bridge, many people have grown tired of living and flung themselves into the cold waters of the Mississippi. Numerous human bodies have been found there, and the verdict has most commonly been, suicide. However, some few people living in the vicinity of the bridge appear to believe otherwise. They hesitate to publish their opinions on account of lack of evidence to prove their contentions. The Devil's Head was a small place which colored men frequented on late Saturday nights. Perhaps Luther did not know that the surest way to a good looking woman's heart is to play coldly indifferent to her innumerable charms. Unquestionably, if he had known that he would have been more warmly responsive. To be sure, he had all that to learn, and his experience was rather steep in the way of price. The witch convinced Luther without argument that he would have to see her again, and when he took his departure on that first evening, he had learned enough to arouse his curiosity. The woman had told him more than any other fortune teller, and he believed her. More than that he felt that he be lieved in the power of the witch. She knew things. In fact she knew enough to hang many people, should she suddenly take a notion to disclose the secret knowledge she possessed. She had hinted this. "Come back three more nights in succession." she expostulated weirdly, "and I'll tell you so much that your eyes will pop out of your head. "Good or bad?" Luther interrogated. "Not bad," she informed him; "but very good. So much so that you will feel like taking me in your arms when I have completed my reading. You are cold now, and there is no heat in your eyes. However, when once we have become better acquainted, I'll venture to say that you will suffer revulsion of feeling." Luther nodded understandingly. "I always appreciate what anyone does for me," he assured her. "I never forget a friend. There are certain things I want to know; if you can tell me what, they are the next time I come here, which will be tomorrow night, I'll give you a good send-off to my friends. You can bank on that." Luther was sincere in what he said. The people residing there on the riverfront, where the heavily cargoed steamboats come in and go out with their brightly colored lights dancing on the silvery rippling waters, are different from people who live elsewhere in the world. They are, for the most part, river folk, and have their own way of doing things. They are sometimes kind and considerate, and if Clean Fiction Human Interest Features Feature Section were posed, finals unless so captioned. BEN DAVIS. Jr., Feature Editor RETTY HEAD Strange and baffling mysteries sur- one happens to be a friend they will guard his secrets and fight for him. If by any chance you are an enemy, you had better stay away from the river front, for sooner or later a loose brick will leave its position on the firewall of a building, and more than likely strike you on top of the head. Consequently, because the witch was popular there on the river front, few people living in other parts of the city knew anything about her private life. She was governed by "queer" motives, and was capable of deep crimes to appease her appetite for revenge, whenever she was offended. Luther Dunkin had to find that out by degrees. There was a young newspaper man who was quite fond of Luther; when he saw the latter on the street fronting the river, he wondered what had led him to this dreadful spot. "What are you doing here?" he wanted to know, as Luther paused to ask for a match. The newspaper man's business familiarizes him with all parts of the city at all hours. "I'm on my way to have my fortune told," Luther replied bluntly. "Going to see the Witch of Devil's Head, eh?" said the reporter. Luther nodded. "Better watch your step," the reporter warned. "You might get in bad. I have known good men to do likewise." "Is she a bad woman?" Luther inquired, nonplussed. The reporter simply repeated his warning, and walked off. He thought a great deal of Luther Dunkin. Several days passed. And several times, the two men met near the house that sheltered the witch. Each time the reporter repeated the warning. But Luther did not tell him that already he was powerless to help himself. He had ad- (Continued on page two) THE MASTER This picture shows one of the victims of the witch of Devil's Head.

This inflammation may come from any one of several causes. Sometimes it will be a bruise, sometimes it will be an accumulation of poison in the tissues that will eventually lead to rheumatism, neuritis or other trouble. No matter what the cause, however, pain can be greatly lessened by a siuple little application which can be used by anyone at home.

An idea of what's waiting for you in "Cloistered Ways," the story of a young, beautiful woman who did not believe in a single standard, and who wanted to live her own life, married to a minister. "Cloistered Ways" was written by Joseph V. Baker, a young writer whose debut in the world of fiction has been crowned with marked success. In "Cloistered Ways" he rises to the highest peak of his earliest efforts. Those who read this dynamic, heart-rending story, will wonder how one human being can write with so much understanding of life's problems. It begins next week in the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION. A In 1909, Jack married Etta Duryea, a Brooklyn girl of French-American extraction. At last Jack felt that he had found a love that would mean prosperity and happiness. She, it was who had been his inspiration during the Jeffries fight in Reno. PART II "Ladies and gentlemen!" sang Curry to the tense crowd that gorged the Arcadia. "Tonight is the night of the only contest of its kind in recorded history! On my left. Mr. Bus Williams, chief of the Blue Devils. On my right, Mr. Fessenden Baxter, leader of the Firemen. On this stand, the solid gold loving-cup. The winner will claim the jazz championship of the world!" "And the sweet mama too, how bout it?" called a wag. "Each outfit will play three numbers: a one-step, a fox-trot, and a blues number. With this stop watch which you see in my hand, I will time your applause after each number. The leader receiving the longest total applause wins the loving-cup!" "Yea—and some lovin'-up wid it!" "I will now toss a coin to see who plays the first number!" "Toss it out here!" "Bus Williams's Blue Devils, ladies and gentlemen, will play the first number!" Bus's philosophy of jazz held tone to be merely the vehicle of rhythm. He spent much time devising new rhythmic patterns with which to vary his presentations. Accordingly he depended largely on Tappen, his master percussionist, who knew every rhythmic monkey-shine with which to delight a gaping throng. Bus had conceived the present piece as a chase, in which an agile clarinet eluded impetuous and turbulent traps. The other instruments were to be observers, chorus- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—February 15, 1930 ing their excitement while they urged the principals on. From the moment the piece started something was obviously wrong. The clarinet was elusive enough, but its agility was without purpose. Nothing pursued it. People stopped dancing in the middle of the number and turned puzzled faces toward the platform. The trap-drummer was going through the motions faithfully but to no avail. His traps were voiceless, emitted mere shadows of sound. He was a deaf mute making a speech. Brief, perfunctory, disappointed applause rose and fell at the number's end. Curry announced its duration: "Fifteen seconds flat!" Fess Baxter, with great gusto, leaped to his post. "The Firemen will play their first number!" Bus was consulting Tappen. "For the love o' Pete, Tap—?" "Love o' hell. Look a' here." Bus looked—first at the trap-drum, then at the bass; snapped them with a finger, thumped them with his knuckles. There was almost no sound; each drum-sheet was dead, lax instead of taut, and the cause was immediately clear: each bore a short curved knife-cut following its edge a brief distance, a wound unnoticeable at a glance, but fatal to the instrument. Tappen Bus looked at Tappen, Tappen looked at Bus. "The cream-colored son of a buzzard!"

One day the two had entertained some friends. When the party was over, she pleaded a headache in order to keep from going to the train. When Jack returned he was shocked and grief-stricken to find his wife lying in a pool of blood, a suicide. THE CINEMA was directing a whirlwind number, sweeping the crowd about the floor at an exciting, exhausting pace, distorting, expanding, etherealizing their emotions with swift-changing dissonances. Contrary to Bus Williams's philosophy, Baxter considered rhythm a mere rack upon which to hang his tonal tricks. The present piece was dizzy with sudden disharmonies, unexpected twists of phrase, successive false resolutions. Incidentally, however, there was nothing wrong with Baxter's drums. plause eventually died out. Bus began his second number, a fox-trot. In the midst of it he saw Jean dancing, beseeching him with bewildered dismay in her eyes, a look that at once crushed and crazed him. Tappen rapped on the rim of his trap drum, tapped his triangle, stamped the pedal that clapped the cymbals, but the result was a toneless and hollow clatter, a weightless noise that bounced back from the multitude instead of penetrating into it. The players also, distracted by the loss, were "Jean, My Jean," and Baxter, riding his present advantage hard stressed all that he had put into it of tonal ingenuity.

The players also, distracted by the loss, were operating far below par, and not all their leader's frantic false enthusiasm could compensate for the gaping absence of bass. The very spine had been ripped out of their music, and Tappen's desperate efforts were but the hopeless flutterings of a stricken, limp, pulseless heart. "Forty-five seconds!" Curry announced. "Making a total so far of one minute flat for the Blue Devils! The Firemen will now play their second number!" The Firemen's fox-trot was Baxter's re-arrangement of Burleigh's "Jean, My Jean," and Baxter, riding his present advantage hard, stressed all that he had put into it of tonal ingenuity.

Then she has excess energy for recreation. But to the woman, who is weakened and run-down housework is drudgery. In her pitiful attempt to keep up with her work, she overtaxes her nerve forces and muscles, and in many instances, ruins her health. If you dread your housework, if it seems that you never are through, if your day's work leaves you nervous and worn-out, why not try St. Joseph's G. F. P? For more than fifty years now, women and girls have been taking this pleasant-tasting tonic which is extracted from Nature's roots and herbe and combined under a time-tested formula.

A Guaranteed Prescription for Colds, Bilious Fever, Grippe, Flu and Malaria Progress in School—Let It Be Natural ONE never ceases to wonder at the variety in mothers. Of course it is the extremes which excite this observation. There is such a difference in attitudes toward children on any one problem, say, for instance, the matter of progress in school. In the first place, there is the notion that if your child is very bright and you send him to school as early as five or six years, he will use his brain too much and get a fever from it. I am still being told this by anxious mothers. In most cases, even these timid mothers must send their children at seven years of age, but it is with fear in their hearts.

Julia Jerome By JULIA JEROME Our letter this week is from a lonely young lady in a great city. "My Dear Mrs. Jerome: "I am in the biggest city in the world and I am, I think, the loneliest girl in the world. I am especially lonely for male companionship. Every day I see hundreds of men, many of them looking nice enough to know, and yet I can never know them because I know no one here to introduce me. I would have to flirt with them and that would give them the wrong impression of me. I was raised to think that girls who resorted to flirting were common, and I believe that most people think so too, especially men. Please tell me how is a decent girl to meet men if she doesn't flirt? My dear, necessity always overcomes convention. I am afraid I must advise you to forget your preconceptions. The term "flirting" is the product of an outworn civilization, it is part of the harness of the "double standard," it is the result of the belief that women must not be honest in action, that to be a lady you must be elusive and indirect. But what if you always waited upon a third party for introduction before you ever spoke to another woman? Wouldn't that seem ridiculous? Now that women pay their own bills, flirting should not be looked upon in the same light as it was in the past. A woman today does not consider every man she meets as a possible husband whom, if she plays her A Guaranteed P for Colds, B Grippe, Lax-ana gives overnight results because the formula is Double Strength.

If your local druggist has nursery school and kindergarten and maintain that the home is better, it is not for that reason. They are not thinking of homes where such misinformed mothers preside. They have in mind that many nursery schools are not conducted by expertly trained and mature teachers who are equipped to do the delicate work that these early schools require. Where this happens harm is done along with good. As to the home which these educators prefer as training centers, they mean normal homes with mothers who take the rearing of children as their most important job. So, send your child to school as early as he shows signs of wanting to go. Let him be the guide up to the age of six years. His brain will benefit from use just as the rest of him will. Then, in contrast, there is the mother who is offended by the school if her child is not shoved ahead from class to class, whether or not he shows commensurate achievement.

Therefore, she need not preten that she is elusive and so tremendously a lady that he will want to hurry her off to the altar. No, women today don't particularly want to hurry into marriage.

As a consequence her little girl of eight years, a bright child with a frail body, is three grades ahead of the usual, but is a victim of a nervous disorder and consequent mild delinquency in behavior. While her mother prods the school and child for rapid and more rapid advancement, she turns a deaf ear to the school's demand that she fit her child with necessary eye-glasses.

The following letter is typical of many others that come to me. The letter and the hand-writing tell the same story. Dear Dr. Bunker: I don't know why it is but somehow the young men as well as the young women in my neighborhood leave me almost entirely alone. They always treat me well when I meet them in public but they do not ask me to go with them places. Unless it is a general community gathering where old folks as well as young are welcome or invited, I am left out of things. Now this may be all right for some girls but it is just breaking my heart. I want friends and I want to be well thought of but somehow the ance of large numbers of children. Where can she learn this? From newspapers, magazines and books from the public library, and best of all from the principals and teachers of the schools which her children attend. Teachers are required to know the science back of their profession. Enough facts have been obtained through careful studies, for the teacher to back up her experience in the class room with facts about other children of like age, etc. Keep in close touch with your child's teacher. Parents who come to help or to learn are always welcome. Teachers need this help. But do not urge more progress for the child than is natural and healthful. Avoid having the child skip over a grade. Rather, teach him more rapidly through that grade, or better still let him go along normally with a very rich and full lot of lessons in the grade in question. Perhaps it is unbelievable, but it is true that parents make the lives of the slower children in the family most miserable by constant comparison with the brighter ones. Very often, the brighter ones are the lazy offenders and should be prodded; for, they only seem more successful by unfair comparison with the slow. On the other hand the slow child may be putting forth his utmost effort to travel at what seems a snail-pace to the parents. I know of one mother who refuses to allow her daughter to enter the proper class for deficient pupils because all of her other children are bright. For four years this girl has struggled and failed in normal classes and has become morose and resentful in school and at home because of it. This mother's pride refuses to be downed and each visit to the school causes her to reassert her belief that it is only stubbornness on the girl's part, and poor teaching in the school. Parents should know what, progress in school means, and should come with the attitude of helping it along. In most cities, a week is set aside for parents to visit all departments. In towns where no time is so set aside, parents might well urge this privilege. In New York City last year, the week of November 11 drew at least a quarter of the parent body to the schools. Surely a better understanding about this serious business of child training will be had if these co-operative efforts continue and we shall have better and happier children as the result.

IRENE C. Louisiana. Irene's hand-writing is one of the surest answers I have ever had to any question that has been offered to me. Her hand-writing shows a girl who is very careful and very loyal and very honest. She is really a wonderful girl at heart, but there are two or three little traits that Irene's writing shows that explains the heartaches that she has. not do me any some folks think In the first place, she has always drawn back into herself. She has waited for other people to ask her. She has been afraid to reach out for herself. She has let the other person make all the efforts of being friendly and even when they have done this, still draws back and though she certainly has not meant to be giving them the "cold shoulder" she has almost certainly done this. The only way, Irene, for you to find your happiness is to loosen up just a little bit in the way you think. Be more friendly; go forward and put out your hand to the other person. I do not mean this literally but I mean it in the way that you feel. Do not wait for them to come to you. Do not be so reserved, so hesitant about believing in yourself. You have come to the point where you expect people to leave you out and this is one reason why they do. Quit expecting it and yet do not be heart broken when they do because they are going to do it for quite a long time.

Your hand-writing shows things tempt the depths and heights just attained by Bus Williams's Blue Devils. His speed, his subordination of rhythm to tone, his exotic coloring, all were useless in a low-down blues song. The crowd moreover had nestled upon the broad, sustaining bosom of a shout. Nothing else warmed them. The end of Baxter's last piece left them chill and unsatisfied. But if Baxter realized that he was beaten, his attitude failed to reveal it. Even when the major volume of applause died out in a few seconds, he maintained his self-assured grin. The reason was soon apparent: Although the audience as a whole had stopped applauding, two small groups of assiduous hand-clappers, one at either extreme of the dancing-area, kept up a diminutive, violent clatter. Again Bus and Tappen exchanged sardonic stares. "Damn' if he ain't paid somebody to clap!" Only the threatening hisses and boos of the majority terminated this clatter, whereupon Curry summed up: "For Bus Williams's Blue Devils —seven minutes and forty seconds! For Fess Baxter's Firemen —eight minutes flat!" He presented Baxter the loving-cup amid a hubbub of murmurs, handclaps, shouts, and hisses that drowned whatever he said. Then the hubbub hushed. Baxter was assisting Jean Ambrose to the platform. With a bow and a flourish, he handed the girl the cup. She held it for a moment in both arms, uncertain, hesitant. But there was nothing uncertain or hesitant in the mob's reaction. Feeble applause was overwhelmed in a deluge of disapprobation. Cries of "Crooked!" "Don't take it!" "Crown the cheat!" "He stole it!" stood out. Tappen put his finger in the slit in his trap-drum, ripped it to a gash, held up the mutilated instrument, and cried, "Look what he done to my traps!" A few hard-boiled ruffians close to the platform moved menacingly toward the victor. "Grab 'im! Knock his can off!" Jean's uncertainty abruptly vanished. She wheeled with the trophy in close embrace and sailed across the platform toward the defeated Bus Williams. She smiled into his astonished face and thrust the cup into his arms. "Hot damn, mama! That's the time!" cried a jubilant voice from the floor, and instantly the gathering storm of menace broke into a cloudburst of delight. That romance-hungry multitude saw Bus Williams throw his baton into the air and gather the girl and the loving-cup both into his arms. And they went utterly wild—laughed, shouted, yelled and whistled till the walls of the Arcadia bulged. Jazz emerged as the mad noise subsided; Bus Williams's Blue Devils playing "She's Still My Baby." In the shelter of a nearby night-club Bus and his girl found a secluded corner. "But you said you didn't mean—anything." "I'm a awful liar sometimes. Specially when I see my girl givin' another guy a play." "Giving who a play? "My boy, Baxter." "When?" "Out on the floor that first night. Baby, you draped yourself over him like a Spanish shawl. And there wasn't any movement to speak of." Her brow cleared and she heaved a sigh. "Well, they say when a guy really falls he quits using his bean." "He don't go blind, does he?" "You did. Didn't you see that big farmer step on my foot? For a minute I thought I'd faint!"
