THE RICHMOND PLANET TWENTY - SIX FRATERNITIES IN BAD SHAPE olume xlvii. Number 15 COLO TWENTY - S NITIES IN H Says N. C. Comr YOUNG PEOPLE FORSAKE BURIAL LODGES Raleigh, N. C. (CNS)—Young people prefer industrial insurance companies to fraternal orders and are therefore to blame for recent crashes in fraternal affairs in North Carolina, according to State Insurance Commissioner Dan Boney. Twenty-six fraternal and burial orders of the State are in bad shape and have been warned to put their affairs in order by April first or be thrown into the hands of receivers, he said. At the same time a receiver was appointed for the Grand Lodge of the Knights or Pythians whose books show a $40,000 deficit. The young people of today are not attracted by the regalia and grandeur of lodge funeral, said the commissioner. As a result so few young members have joined in recent years that the average age of members has advanced to 55 years. The frequent death claims greatly overbalance the amount chollected in dues. WALDON FRANCE POST No. 29 AMERICAN LEGION OF DAN- VILLE VA. CELEBRATED DOUGLASS LINCOLN DAY Danville, Va.—The above named Post of American Legion of Danville, Va., celebrated Lincoln (Douglass Day at the Masonic Hall, Feb. 12th, in grand style. A spicy program was rendered commemorating the occasion. Prof. I. W. Tayler, Most Wor. Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, made an excellent address; subject, "Lincoln—Douglass." He held the audience speeckound from start to finish. He was presented in a very flowery manner by Commander B. O. Henderson of the local Post. The program was followed by very encouraging remarks from the following distinguished visitors: Commander Coyocean of Winston-Salem, N. C.; Commander C. C. Wright of Greensboro, N. C.; Mr. Raymond Brady of Salt Lake City, Utah; last, but by no means least, Lawyer Hugh T. Williams of Danville, Va., also a State Committeeman of the American Legion, and one who has taken special interest in the organization. For 1999, since its organization, the two named gentlemen were white. They were accompanied by Misses Mary and Daisy Hamlin of Danville Va. Everybody was served in "American Legion style." The ladies looked sweet, the music, which was furnished by "Miller's Troubadours" of Greensboro, N. C., was grand. The menu was delicious. Everybody enjoyed themselves until "Home, Sweet Home" was played. Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge was special invited guest of the local Post No. 29, who looked after her comfort in every way. There was a large crowd in attendance and quite a few visiting Legionnaires from Winston-Salem and Greensboro, N. C. The local Post deserves great credit for the splendid entertainment of the 12th inst. Commander Henderson and every member of the Post was on the job and looked out for every body. The whole affair was a success financially and socially. All local American Legionnaires who have not joined the local Post should do so at once, and help enlarge Waldon France Post No. 29, American Legion of Danville, Va. Prof. W. T. Grasty is very much improved and is now at his home. Mr. Isaac C. Hunt, son-in-law of Prof. Grasty, and a very popular and industrious young man of our city, met with a serious accident in an auto collision at Greensboro, N. C., last Thursday. He is now Pawned Church Clothes to play the Numbers INTER-RACIAL GROUP SEEKS MILLION FUND Moton Heads Campaign to Finance Commission's Work For An- other Ten-Year Period. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 19.—Dr. Rob- ert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, has accepted the lead- ship of a campaign to raise $1,360,000 to continue the work of the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation through another ten-year period. The campaign in sponsored by a committee of nationally known finan- ciaries, educators and religious leaders of both races, and two pledges, aggregating $500,000, have already been received — $400,000 from the Spelman Fund and $100,000 from the Rosenwald Fund. Condence is expressed that the remaining $860,000 will be promptly pledged when the need has been made known. The beneficiary of the campaign, popularly known as the Inter-racial Commission, was organized by a group of Southern leaders in 1919 in the hope of checking the wave of inter-racial conflict that spread across the country at that time, resulting in numerous destructive race riots North and South. After meeting this emergency, it set out a constructive program of inter-racial adjustment, including the correction of expressive conditions affecting Negroes and improvement of those inter-racial attitudes out of which unfavorable conditions grow. The commission conducts a far-reaching educational program through the press, through religious and civic organizations, in schools and colleges, and from the platform, and deals with specific situations through a large number of state and local inter-racial committees. Its membership comprises a hundred representative men and women of both races, and the affiliated committees enlist more than a thousand others. Its work has attracted favorable attention throughout the United States and abroad. Though the commission Pawned Chu to play the Our special investigator continues his job of ascertaining the effect of playing the "clearing house" numbers here. It appears that the malady has pervaded the upper classes to the extent that much time that should be given to advancing the interests of our group here is lost by professional men spending valuable time trying to guess the lucky numbers, which time should be used in looking after the interests of their clients and customers by a steady application to their professions. They try to justify their actions by claiming that they can make money to meet taxes and other overhead expenses incident to their professions. This is all baloney, as the following incident will show. A certain professional man had perfected a system of guessing the elusive numbers and did guess about right for three successive days. On the fourth day he gave a tip of nine numbers and a large group of men and boys who hang around a certain popular store played this professional man's tips to the limit. One of the men, who played the limit, even went so far as to pick out his car that he would buy with his winnings. On this particular day the professional guesser was way off in his guess and in Richardson's Memorial Hospital at Greensboro, N. C., doing well as could be expected. He will be removed to Danville as soon as he is able to stand the trip. MASSES UNEMPLOYED Hollywood (CNS)—Stepin Fetit who lost his job in the movies because he refused to say, "Rusty, I'm all wet" in his speaking part, has caught on with Hal Roach comedies. A contract for five years at an increased salary is the result of his getting "fired" from his old job. When asked to give a reason for not wanting to speak the part as directed he said: "I thought those words might offend many of my old friends down in 'Bam.'" I. O. KING DAVID SCORES HEAVILY IN LOUISA, VA. Louisa C. H., Va., Feb. 18—Eliott Kinney died here Sunday morning and had been a member of King David Lodge here, although he had failed to pay his taxation. His wife was removed to the hospital for the insane and several small children were left parentless. Mrs. A. G. Taylor, G. W. Ruler, was notified at Richmond of the circumstances, and she immediately ordered the local lodge to take charge and she would pay the money. The Order is very popular here and this action has increased its popularity FULTON NOTES Services at Mt. Calvary last Sunday were very helpful. Rev. Jos. H. Bunn delivered a message that will linger in the hearts of his hearers. Come to services tomorrow morning. 3:30 P. M., installation of the Sunday School officers and teachers. Address by Dr. F. W. Williams. 8:30 P. M., installation of the ushers of the church. A fine program will be rendered.

Among the prominent colored leaders sponsoring the campaign, alnoh with Dr. Moton, are Dr. Mordecai Johnson, Dr. John Hope, Bishop Robert E. Jones, Dr. George E. Haynes, Hon. Fred R. Moore, C. C.

A few reports that he missed a regular attendant at his church, and thinking he was sick he paid a pastoral call on the farm on the surprise he was informed by the wife that the husband had pawned his Sunday suit to play the numbers and had lost. LAURA WOOD MURDERED Laura oWod, 60-year-old mother of four children, a Negro, was brutally murdered and her dead body hung to the branch of a tree with a cow chain on a farm near Barber Junction, N. C., in daytime, the morning of February 11, 1930. This murder and lynching of an agricultural worker is part of the boss terrorism which murdered Ella May, though it belongs to the tactic of dividing the working class along racial lines instead of to the tactic of direct union smashing. The International Labor Defense uncompromisingly fights all forms of boss terrorism, including that of lynching, which is so prevalent at the present time—the lynching of Jimmie Levine of Occella, Ga., February 1st; the attempted lynching of Dave Lock of Wallace, N. C., a few days before; the lynching of a white worker in Kentucky, etc. --- THE MINISTERIAL UNION INSTALLS OFFICERS A public installation service of the officers of the Richmond Ministerial Union was held Tuesday, February 18th, at the First Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. T. Johnson is pastor. Addresses were made by E. O. Dowern and C. A. Cobbs. The Rev. C. A. Cobbs emphasized the fact that the different denominations had been operating, but none co-operating. Rev. F. W. Black acted as master of ceremonies. Mrs. Mosel Williams delivered a most beautiful and timely welcome address to the Union. Dr. G. E. Johnson responded to the welcome address. The Rev. A. C. Coleman introduced the principal speaker of the evening, who was none other than the Rev. W. L. Ransome, who proved himself master of the occasion. Rev. Ransome spoke briefly as to how the organization came about, giving most credit to Dr. Stokes. This same movement had been suggested to Dr. Payne, and without casting any reflection on such a noble man, Dr. Ransome, as his ministerial son, told how he disagreed because of the denominational question. This same suggestion was brought before Dr. Ransome, who told Dr. Stokes to go right ahead. There are at present three ministerial bodies in Richmond. First, the Baptist Ministers' Conference, composed only of Baptists; second, the Ministers' Alliance, composed of everybody but Baptists, this was not due because of the exclusion of the Baptists; third, the new organization, which is the first of its kind in the city, and is an affiliation without denominational lines. Dr. Ransome told how the segregation movement brought the Negro ministers together, and gave proof that such a union was possible. He spoke also of the fact that this age hour has respect for ministers as past age for the principle to ignorance and a misunderstanding of preachers. He compared the officers to be installed with a clock. The president the minute hand, the vicepresident the hour hand, the other officers as numbers. If the clock is slow or fast, the time is wrong. Dr. W. T. Johnson, president of the Union, said he appreciated the privilege to be a part of that clock, and as president conducted Rev. Ransome into office as chairman of the Executive Committee. Dr. Johnson said: "We represent a new thing in our community, and a new thing for Richmond." This idea is not new to Dr. Johnson. Since 1907 he has been constantly mingling with the United Society of Christian Endeavor, which consists of 87 denominations. Rev. R. M. Williams was glad that the curtain had been drawn. The officers installed are as follows: W. T. Johnson, president; R. M. Williams, vice-president; A. A. Hector, secretary; J. E. Fountain, assistant secretary; R. B. Smith, treasurer; W. H. Stokes, corresponding secretary; G. W. Gaines, chapain; D. W. Baker, auditor; W. B. Ball, reporter. The members of the Program Committee are: R. M. Williams, chairman; J. H. Burnham, secretary; Joseph Arrington, J. J. Woodson, F. W. Black and T. H. Jones. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the church after the services. PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED IN STAUNTON A parent-teachers' association was organized here Monday night in Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Edna Brooks, president of the Mothers' Club. After stating the purpose of the league, the following officers were elected: President: Rev. Godfrey Tate; First Vice-President, Captain W. W. Green; Second Vice-President, F. Earl Henry; Secretary, Mrs. John Hackney, Sr.; Assistant Secretary, Miss Leona Chiles; Treasurer, Dr. S. L. Scott. February 27th was fixed as the next date of meeting at Booker T. Washington High School. A Committee of Constitution and By-Laws was also appointed. The following were appointed to draft the constitution and by-laws: Rev. E. D. McCreary, Captain W. W. Green, W. C. Brown, Emmett J. Shelton and Miss Theresa Hudson. On suggestion of Rev. E. D. McCreary, the president motioned to select a grievance committee, which will take care of all grievances which otherwise would have come up on the floor of the body. The president, Rev. Tate, promised to present this committee's names to the body at its next meeting. Receivership of N.C.Grand Lodge, Creates Furore Notable Assemblage Witnesses Presentation of Harmon Award for Achievement in Education. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 19.—Co. Sunday afternoon, February 9th, in Sisters Chapel of Spoeman College and in the presence of an interracial audience of more than a thousand, the Harmon award for distinguished achievement in the field of education was presented to Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College and Atlanta University, with most impressive exercises. Seated on the platform were many of Atlanta's outstanding citizens, white and colored, among them the presidents and deans of six local colleges. As the personal representative of President Barbour, of Brown University, Dr. Hope's aim mater, Dr. Theo Collier delivered the principal address of the day and expressed the University's pride in the achievements of one of its distinguished sons. Brief greetings on behalf of their respective institutions were extended by representatives of many colleges, alumni associations, and other groups. Telegrams were read from nationally-known figures of both races, including the president of the General Education Board, Dr. R. R. Moton, Dr. John R. Moton and others. A touching accident was the help of a P. Faunce message from Mrs. W. H. Faunce, following the late Presence Faunce of Brown University, who died ten days ago leaving a note on his calendar for February 9th, "Write John Hope." The presentation of the award was made by the late Dr. Plato T. Durham, of Emory University, a leader in the inter-racial movement of the South and for several years a warm friend of Dr. Hope. In a remarkable address Dr. Durham voiced the high public confidence and esteem which Dr. Hope has won by thirty-one years of notable service to this community and the country at large. Special signifi- tance attaches Dr. Hope to the tribu- tive in the face of the fact that it was his last public utterance. In accepting the award, which carried a gold medal and a cash honorarium of four hundred dollars, Dr. Hope stated that he was donating to the endowment fund of Morehouse College, together with a hundred dollars which he had just received from his son in Brazil. Dr. Will W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, of which Dr. Hope is one of the most honored and useful charter members, acted as chairman of the meeting. Devo- Receivership Lodge, Crea SUPREME LODGE BLAMED FOR FAILURE OF KNIGHTS OF PITHIAS IN NORTH CAROLINA Raleigh, N. C. (CNS)—The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pithias is responsible for the bankruptcy of the North Carolina Grand Lodge which resulted in the order being thrown into the hands of receivers, declared U. S. Scales, of Winston-Salem, grand chancellor of the order, following a conference with State Insurance Commissioner, Dan Bovey, at Raleigh. Scales, who has been head of the order since July, 1928, is confident that the North Carolina Grand Lodge would have paid all death claims and would have been in a flourishing condition today had it not been suspended by the Supreme suspension occured when the North Lodge. Scales recalled that the Carolina Grand Lodge refused to pay a heavy tax for the erection of a temple at Chicago. Scales and other officers of the North Carolina organization held that the tax was unjust and that this state was unable to pay it. They were sustained in that contention by Insurance Commissioner Boney. The Grand Lodge held a session in Winston-Salem last week, and --- LOT OF RACE JOBLESS MOST MISERABLE 6,000 ATTEND NEGRO HISTORY WEEK CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF NEGRO CONGRESSMEN Washington, D. C. (CNS)—Six thousand colored men and women attended the Negro history week celebration in honor of Negro Congress given at the Washington Auditorium Monday night under the auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, with Representative Oscar De Priestinois, and former Representatives, John W. Lynch of Mississippi, and Thomas E. Millar of South Carolina, as guests of honor. Former Representative HenPlummer Cheatham, of North Carolina was unable to attend due to injuries sustained in a recent automobile accident. Major John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, who was a member of the forty-third, forty-fourth, and forty-seventh Congresses and is now 83 years old and a resident of Chicago, discussed the practical phases of the present political situation among Negroes, predicting that there would be several Negro members of Congress from Northern States. He said: "Fifteen years ago when I was called upon to speak at one of the churches of this city, I then made the prediction that I would live to see the day when a colored man would occupy again a seat in Congress. I will have another prediction, that will live to see the day when there are several colored men in Congress, will even venture another prediction although I may not live to see it—that there will be colored men in Congress from below the Mason Dixon line." tions were conducted by Dr. E. R. Carter, Rev. W. J. Faulkner and Dr. E. M. Potteat, and music was rendered by the choruses of Spelman and Morehouse Colleges and Atlanta University. of N.C. Grand ates Furore reached an agreement for liquidation of the assets inasmuch as approximately $40,000 in death claims remain unpaid. The lodge also agreed to pro-rate the money now in hand and to re-rate the policies according to the insurance laws. The outcome of the temporary receivership is only a matter of speculation. The Supreme Lodge, pointed out, has agreed to pay the death claims now due in this State, lation that the North Carolina but there probably will be a stipuGrand Lodge pay its assessment towards the cost of building the Chicago temple. There may be a reorganization after the liquidation, however. The situation is simply this," said Scales, "we paid $40,000 due in death claims when I became chancellor and we also paid $20,000 in claims which fell due later. But when the Supreme Lodge placed the tax on us and then suspended us because we refused to pay it, the action created unrest among the 4,000 members of the order in North Carolina. Many of the members stopped paying premiums to the endowment department and we soon began to fall behind in payment of the death claims." Sales reiterated the statement that—had the Supreme Chancellor left the North Carolina Grand Lodge alone it would have paid every death claim and would show a balance today. PRICE FIVE CENTS OYED CE JOBLESS SERABLE Will Organize e Situation NEGRO MASSES UNEMPLOYED New York, Feb. — (Crusader News Service)—Among the 6,000,000 jobless workers in the United States there are hundreds of thousands of Negro workers. On the job they are exploited to the utmost, and when unemployed their lot is the most miserable of all the workers. The Chicago World, a Negro paper, reports that there are more than 25,000 unemployed in Chicago. The Chicago World gives a description of the suffering of these Negro jobless: "A great majority of the men are married, with families dependent on them for support. A great number of the idle workers have been without jobs since last summer. Their wives and children and others who may be dependent on them are barely existing in miserable living quarters; hungry and cold; racked by diseases peculiar to exposure and ravages of severe winter weather. They are threatened momentarily with eviction because of inability to pay exorbitant taxes on their quarters, unit for human habitation." But the Chicago World, like all the petty bourgeois Negro papers, gives as the solution the election of such capitalists and betraying politicians as Oscar de Priest, who favors the Hoover—A.F. of L. anti-Negro, anti-worker campaigns and the "no strikes," and "no wage increases" agreements. The Trade Union Unity League is organizing all the unemployed, both Negro and white, for a united fight for immediate relief and for unemployment insurance. The Negro jobless must organize together with the white workers for mass demonstration. WILBERFORCE OBSERVES NEGRO HISTORY WEEK Wilberforce, O. — Negro History Week, sponsored by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, was observed at Wilberforce University with appropriate programs rendered by the Senior and Junior classes in Elementary Teacher Training, February 10 and 14. The Junior program was under the direction of Professor Harold Lee; Miss A. O. Williamson directed and supervised the program rendered by the Senior Class. Mrs. Lucinda Cook, Director of Elementary Teacher Training, sponsored the ocal observance in assisting the Association in its aim to present facts of Negro achievement and worth to the youth of both races before their judgments became hopelessly-warped by the general attitude of the communities in which they have been brought up.

We knew a man once who sold doughnuts of his own fabrication. He had laid up quite a little money and was doing well a well, vended a large-holed doughnut and his argument always had been that, the larger the hole, the less dough in the doughnut. He specialized, of course, on large holes and small profits. This was all very well until, one day on his rounds, he met an argumentative man. Unfortunately, the doughnut man, in a moment of confidence, expounded to him his theory of the large hole and small profits. The argumentative man shook his head. He spent some time at it, but he finally convinced the doughnut man that he had been working his business on a fallacy. The argumentative man proved to the doughnut vender, and by mathematics, that the smaller the hole in the doughnut, the less dough it took to go around it. The doughnut man went home and figured over the matter so long and so intently that he was eventually bereft of his reason and had to be confined. A. J. R. in the Minneapolis Journal. Reached Enemy's Heart Through His Stomach Mrs. Laura Fraser, the original Becky Thatcher of Mark Twain's stories, related shortly before her death at Hannibal, Mo., how she had once gone through an experience as thrilling as any that Twain had created for his fiction. During the Civil war Mrs. Fraser's husband was a strong southern sympathizer and as he was a doctor he defied federal authorities in treating wounded Confederate soldiers. He finally was put in prison about the time that Gen. John McNell came to Hannibal to suppress the southern sympathy and camped in Mr. Fraser's front yard while he picked out ten prisoners of Confederate leanings to be "converted" by a firing squad. Mrs. Fraser, fearing the inclusion of her husband, invited the general to a specially prepared dinner and he was so overcome with culinary delights that he ordered Fraser's release. But he reconsidered the next day and had him re-arrested, though the spared his life.-Detroit News. Effects of Malnutrition Malnutrition is a condition of undernourishment or underweight. Children with malnutrition do not all behave the same way. Some are pale, dull and listless, with dark rings under the eyes, tire easily and have no ambition for work or play; their work in school is often so poor that they must frequently repeat their grades. Others are nervous and feeble, hard to please, and hard to manage; they eat and sleep badly. Still others are overambitious, constantly active, restless; they find it difficult to concentrate. Children get into a condition of malnutrition because their growth is not watched. To grow in height and gain regularly in weight is just as much a sign of health in a boy or girl of nine or ten as in a baby. Sand Blasting Effective For cleaning metal surfaces for one purpose or another demanded by the industries the sand blast takes the first place. In reconditioning several thou sand feet of track for a Southern street railway, it was decided to resort to welding, and for this purpose the surfaces to be treated must be smooth bright and perfectly clean. It was decided to do this cleaning by sand blast and the report is that in one hour more and better work was done by one man than was possible previously it eight hours with four laborers using chisels and brushes. Duck Champion Egg-Layer Duck Champion Egg-Layer The domestic duck, used only for food in the United States, is coming into its own as an egg layer in the British isles. Over there, a farm hav- ing as many as 1,000 ducks is not un common, reports the Farm Journal. The average duck will produce almost twice as many eggs as the average chicken. In several laying trials, ducks have laid more than 300 eggs a year, and one prodigious quacker has set a world's record with 337 eggs in 365 days. Have No Effect on Snakes The belief is commonly held in some parts of the country that the odor of snake gourd and snake calabash vines is unpleasant to snakes and will keep them away. Negroes in the South plant the vines around their houses as a protection against snakes. United States Department of Agriculture observations do not bear out this belief. The department has issued a statement that as far as its investigation goes, there is no plant that will repel snakes. Ancient Aids to Eyesight When the eyesight of Egypt's wise men grew feeble from study they used magnifying glasses to make the stone tablets and papyrus rolls easier to read. This is indicated by pieces of round glass from Egypt, one of which, now in the Ashmolean collection, may date back to the first dynasty of Egypt, or about 3500 B. C. That magnifying glasses were known in the famous civilization of Crete, about 1200 B. C., had been shown by two crystal lenses discovered in the Cretan ruins. Name "Peony" Traced to Legend of Mythology Legend of Mythology In the days of the Greek gods and goddesses, the peony first came to the world's attention. Leto, Apollo's mother, was the one to introduce it. Apollo was known as the god of healing and his son, Aesculapius, was the god of medicine. It seems that a pupil of Aesculapius named Paeon was the physician of the gods, and to him Leto first gave the plant which he employed to cure Pluto of a wound received at the hands of Hercules during the Trojan war. The fact that his pupil could surpass him in effecting such a cure made Aesculapius angry, with the result he attempted to kill Paeon, but Pluto, indebted to Paeon for his own life, rescued the physician of Mount Olympus from death by changing him into the plant that had saved his life. Until this day that plant bears Paeon's name and is known to us as the peony. The history of the peony in China and Japan is of a sentimental nature. Fittingly enough, the words "Sho Yo," meaning "Most Beautiful," were applied to the herbaceous peony, while the tree peony held away as the "King of Flowers"—Kansas City Star. Only Dame Nature Can Freshen Mind and Body "The earth is the great reservoir of physical forces, and whilst no scientist has yet been able to discover how intimate or how perfect is the connection between the mental and the physical, there exists, no doubt, a correlation between the processes by which the body and the soul are kept healthy and vigorous by drafts on the great reserves of nature. "One grows tired of books and cloyed with all manner of art. Then comes a hunger and a thirst for nature. Real thought gathering is like berry gathering—one must go to the wild vines for the racy-flavored fruit. Art and nature are really the antipodes of each other—one is original, the other second hand. When we go from the library or the studio to the woods or fields, we go to get back what art has robbed us of—the freshness of nature. The suggestions of nature come—out of the mysterious, invisible generator; but art merely reflects its suggestions back upon nature."—Maurice Thompson. Near the Crater There be two men whose ways we cannot fathom; yea, there are three we do not understand. The first of the twain is the man who has two wives at the same time. The other is the clerk or accountant who steals from his employers and covers the theft by falsifying his books. The third? He is the man who builds his house on the edge of a volcano that erupts every year or so. All three are alike in that they know something is going to blow up under them. Peace of mind has been called the summum bumum; it is the one thing they have put out of their reach. Of the three we think the man on the voicano's marge has the most sense. After it lets go, there is a chance that he can build again somewhere else—Cincinnati Star-Star. Garden Memories Three thousand years ago the Magus Zoroaster, it is said, met his own image walking in a garden; nowhere else, we must suppose, but in a garden's cloistered peace could such a meeting have been arranged. And when a man lets his driftts drift back to the happiness, so deep and often so illusory, of his childhood's home, it is in the garden that his memories crowd the thickest, not in the house itself. The Golden age was green with the shadow of boughs and silver with the luster of dew upon the grass.—Exchange. Strangled From Space Scientific interest is being directed to a 35-ton formation recently discovered in southwest Africa which has all the appearances of being a meteor. It was discovered on a farm near Grootfontein and is quite different in every way from any of the rocks to be found in that part of the country. This is almost as large as the meteorite which was brought from Greenland in 1907 by Commodore Peary, and if the African find proves to be a meteor by answering certain scientific tests, it will be regarded as a very valubale find.

"You promise" asked the little maiden seriously. "I promise," replied the other, with a smile. But on reaching the door the little girl turned round again. "Mind you," she said gravely, "if it isn't ready by Tuesday I shall sue you for breach of promise."

KNOW YOUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ```markdown ``` THE YELLOW Washington, D. C., Feb. 17, 1930 (CNS—Do married women work because they have to? Do they work because industry needs them? Do married women work who have husbands to support them adequately? Do they work because they have developed a consciousness which must be satisfied? The answer to each of these questions is, "yes." There is, however, a great difference in the numbers of women involved in the various groups. Those who work from economic necessity are in the tremendous majority. Furthermore, the problems involved in their case are such as not to bind themselves to comparisons with the other groups and reasons which lie behind the decision of professional and business women to make careers for themselves. Large numbers in the one group work under great handicaps to keep the wolf from the door, while those in the other group are in a position to choose between jobs. Accurate statistics are not available, but it is safe to assert that the married women who work because the job needs them are few indeed compared with those who work because they need the job. The economic security of large numbers of homes requires that the wife be both the bread-winner and home maker. An analysis of 20 studies in various parts of the country by as many agencies of the share of wage-earning women in family support shows that of 58,639 women reported upon more than a half contributed all their earnings to their families and less than 9 per cent made no contribution at all. Since data on wages are available in some of these reports and so large a per cent of women have some responsibility for the support of others as well as themselves, it seems fair to assume that a very small proportion fall into the fortunate class at the other extreme which can choose between leisure and congenial work, or between doing housework and other work more to their liking. Data on the wages of men, rises in the cost of living, unemployment, past-time employment, accidents, ill-health, unemployment, earning capacity of bushmanaya FRANKLIN'S LESSON ON THE VALUE OF TIME Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.—Franklin. Franklin not only understood the value of time, but he put a price upon it that made others appreciate its worth. A customer who came one day to his little book store in Philadelphia, not being satisfied with the price demanded by the clerk for the book he wished to purchase, asked for the proprietor. "Mr. Franklin is very busy just now in the pressroom," replied the clerk. The man, however, who had already spent an hour aimlessly turning over books, insisted on seeing him. In answer to the clerk's summons, Mr. Franklin hurried out from the newspaper establishment at the back of the store. "What is the lowest price you can take for this book." Mr. Abram L. Moton is one of the oldest teachers in point of service and is a front rank instructor. He is prominent in Richmond's fraternal life and one of the leaders of Williams Lodge of Elks. The Planet's representative found him busily engaged at Moore School with the 6H-1 grade. His exposition of the advantages of Hampton Roads and its geographical significance were very good.

If we are ity we must face this ques- wing is a result of a study shown plainly that for large numbers of women marriage must mean not economic security for mother and children, but the responsibility for dependents which carries with it the need to make a contribution in money in addition to the many duties performed in the home. The 1920 census has given us a graphic picture of changes in our social order which affect the security of our homes. Of over 35 million women, 15 years of age and over, living in the United States in 1920, about $8\frac{1}{2}$ million or nearly one-fourth of the total number were in married couples, latter nearly two million are married. The term "married women," according to the census classification, includes only those women who had a husband living in the home at the time of the taking of the census. A tremendous increase in actual number of married women wage earners occurred during the 30 years from 1890 to 1920. In 1890 there were reported 515,260 married women gainfully occupied or 5 in every 100 married women were so employed, as against 9 in every 100 in 1920. Furthermore, the number of all women employed in manufacturing pursuits increased only 7 per cent during the decade 1910-1920, whereas the married women employed in manufacturing increased 41 per cent. Data are now available, however, on the number of these employed women who were mothers, not the number of their children, not the occupations of their husbands, not the number of husbands who have been incapacitated Since the nation can only be as strong as its women, there is reason to be concerned for the many wives and mothers who must get up at 4:30 or 5 o'clock, get breakfast and prepare lunch for self and children before leaving, then hurry away to earn that money with which to buy food and pay the rent. Of these some must go to work even though the baby cries, and many are there to prepare care worries throughout the work day about a child that is ill at home. The uncertainty for these women of not knowing what is going on in the home while they are at work is an unfair strain for the motherhood of our land to carry. sir?" asked the leisurely customer, holding up the volume. "One dollar and a quarter," was the prompt reply. "A dollar and a quarter! Why, your clerk asked me only a dollar just now." "True," said Franklin, "and I could better have afforded to take a dollar than to leave my work." The man, who seemed to be in doubt as to whether Mr. Franklin was in earnest, said jokingly, "Well, come now, tell me your lowest price for this book?" "One dollar and a half," was the grave reply. "A dollar and a half! Why, you just offered it for a dollar and a quarter." "Yes, and I could better have taken that price than a dollar and a half now." Without another word the crestfallen purchaser laid the money on the counter and left the store. He had learned not only that he who squanders his own time is foolish, but that he who wastes the time of others is a thief. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Industry the king. Politeness the queen. Thrift the jack. Common sense is playing to the best advantage the cards you draw. Every day as the game progresses you will find the ace, king, queen and jack in your hand, and an opportunity to play them wisely and correctly. Really this has not been the gayest of weeks, yet the Narcissus Club loomed brilliantly on the horizon and it was a charming change from the usual routine of parties. I did not know why the Narcissus Club chose that name, but new one if you would, would you. If you had attended their very modernistic affair last Monday night. It was a night of nights. One after my own heart. Those girls are very popular and we know far in advance what to expect, although it far exceeded our fondest hopes. On the dance floor while gliding to the rhythm of that enchanting music furnished by Booker's orchestra, we saw just about everyone we knew. Lovely dresses! Long ones, short ones, and what not. Not a dull moment. The whole affair was exquisite and simple, just like that sweet Narcissus flower. Harmonious decorations graced the hall, and the punch was exceptionally nice. The narcissus flowers consisted of the following: Brunette Wilson, Violet Lewis, Dorothy Coward, Florence Garner, Mary Cooper, Ethel Farar Burns, Mae Young, Naunie Flemming, Elnora Goiney, Genora Harris, Rebecca Carter and May Spears. Valentine Day was rather dull this year. Plans were made for a gala night, but seemed to have fallen down and went boom. However, Charlottesville was quiet for once, although there were smaller parties in evidence, but nothing startling. Even Dan Cupd seen on a vacation, as I didn't hear of a single heart being captured. Mr. S. R.

We read more newspapers and magazines than all the rest of the world put together, and now we are becoming the greatest book readers. Only Germany and Denmark print more books in proportion to population. And we are reading books of real value. The most popular book of the day is the most powerful argument against war ever penned. It is called in its English translation "All Quiet on the Western Front." It served in the trenches with the German army. In America, England, France, as well as in Germany, it has outsold the most popular novels ever published. Next in popularity is a biography, "Henry VIII," by Francis Hackett. TAFT On the night of November 3rd, 1908, the telegraph operator at a temporary instrument set up on the back verandah of Charles P. Taft's home in Cincinnati received a dispatch reading "Bryan concedes Taft's election." He rushed into the great art gallery and shouted the was glad to see him back to the extent that he had to take Tuesday off to shake hands with old friends and acquaintances. Mr. Trent left for Cumberland after a very pleasant little stay with his aunt, Mrs. Charles Coles, Sr. Mr. Allen Weatherford returned to Hampton Institute, after attending the funeral of his aunt, Mrs. Mary Weatherford Stepto, which was held from the Union Baptist Church last Thursday, February 13th. Union Ridge, Va.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woolfolk celebrated their Fiftieth Anniversary at the home of her mother and father at Trevillian, Louisa County, Va., February 10th, at 8:30 P. M. The groom's best man was Rev. D. S. Woolfolk, who greeted the many friends who had come far and near to help celebrate this fiftieth milestone. Rev. I. A. J. Kennedy offered prayer after which the eldest daughter, Miss Alyce Woolfolk, Miss Ellen Reid and Mrs. C. Gofney announced supper which consisted of delicacies of the season and punch. The bride and groom were seated at the head of the table with the guests in the persons of Rev. and Mrs. I. A. J. Kennedy, Rev. and Mrs. D. S. Woolfolk, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. James C. Williams, Dr. and Mrs. George Ferguson of Charlotteville. The children and grandchildren made everything very pleasant for the guests and heaven's richest blessings were bestowed on all that gave in honor of this occasion which was much gold coin.

Alice Roosevelt Longwinter ran the full length of the big room, threw her arms around the neck of the President-elect and gave him a resounding smack. Her kiss was the first congratulatory gesture of the evening. Everybody was invited to drink to the health of the host's distinguished brother. Will Taft hesitated. Then: "I'll take water, Charlie," he said. "I think the President of the United States ought to set the example of temperance." There was many years before Prohibition, but everybody present agreed and applauded the spirit which moved the new President. From then until the end of his term in the White House Mr. Taft never took a drink except an occasional glass of wine at state banquets. CHURCHES The Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America has for its purpose the effort to bring all of the various Christian denominations into cooperation for social service and to make common cause against the pagan spirit which denies the value of spiritual things. Against this materialism it is making surprising headway. Great leaders in business and industry and in the professions are joining the movement and pledging themselves to the maintenance of Christian standards in their business relations. Sectarian lines are disappearing. The movement for the union of the Protestant Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal and Presbyterian churches into one great denomination is making headway. The Congregational and Christian (Disciples) churches have already united. All the signs of the times indicate an approaching great spiritual revival, with the various Special Corner with the Vatican Charlottesville Tattler F.

MORGAN The name of J. P. Morgan is known all over the world as that of the world's greatest banker. Those who have never met him picture him as a cold, hard, unapproachable sort of superhuman being. The town of Glen Cove, Long Island, where he lives, knows him as a friendly, kindly neighbor. The Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce has just elected him his first honorary member. "Mr. Morgan has endeared himself to his fellow-townsmen by the keen interest he has shown in civic matters," said the president of the Chamber. "He has been an active member for ten years and always the first to pay his dues." CORN The Indians grew corn for thousands of years before the white man came to America. American farmers have been growing it for three hundred years. Still we have not learned everything about corn. Dr. Donald Jones of the Connecticut Experiment Station tried crossing a leaming dent corn with a Canada flint, and has produced a new variety, Canada-learning, which ripens in 110 days, thus enabling Northern farmers to harvest their corn and fill their silos before the September frosts. Corn is our greatest crop and America's most useful contribution to the world's food supply. Converted into pork, it is the base of our principal meat food; we eat much more pork than we do beef. Such a discovery as Dr. Jones' means more to national prosperity than a dozen new s.eel mills. g t LEXINGTON, VA. The Lexington churches and schools are celebrating Negro History week in our town. The principal of the High School, Rev. P. W. Cook, will give the first lecture at the public school Monday morning, then each morning thereafter someone will discuss some phase of the Negro in history. The Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P.

Webster Davis School. Watch this column for particulars concerning the above named affairs (February* 28, 1930). What does seem a little early for robin to sturt across the lawn; yet Mr. Robin has shown himself lately on many lawns. Well, one may also look forward to the first sign of spring, for when the pussy willows and the crouches begin to bloom we know that spring's not far behind. After the flurry of snow last Saturday, Sunday was a sunshine day, it reminded me of spring, for Staunton's prominent business men and patrons of Washington High School found their way to the school building, where they were entertained by the "third year English class."

LEXINGTON NEWS All Lexington was saddened to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Maggie Alexander, the wife of Mr. Edward Alexander. Her health had not been the best for several months but she had gone about her housekeeping as usual, in her bright, sunny way.

Lawson a logical contender for the heavyweight crown. Above is a cartoon of one of the greatest fighters of today. He is known on account of his great endurance power, and effective punching as "The Alabama Bear," or "Fighting Bob Lawson." Lawson is as good as they make them; he is twenty-five years old, and is not "Punch Drunk." If you want to know whether he can fight, ask Joan Risco and what he tells Morgan Bests Howard New York, Feb. 12.—Before a holiday crowd of 30,000 cheering spectators, Howard lost a fast and well-played basket ball game to Morgan College of Baltimore. Spencer of Morgan opened up the scoring three minutes after the toss up. Howard tied the score a minute later on a goal beneath the basket by Taylor. Jones was getting the tap, but close guarding by Smith and Harris broke up the Morgan formations. Morgan scored four more points on baskets by Clarke and Spencer. Howard came back with a goal by Hall. From this point on the first half assume the assists, a duel between Hall of Howard and Clark of Morgan. The ball would be passed with lightning-like rapidity to one end of the court. Hall and Clarke invariably ended these saliies by a neat flip into the basket. At half time Morgan went off the floor with a three point advantage, 18-15. In the second half, Howard got possession of the ball. Williams dribbled through, scored and was fouled in the act of shooting. He missed one shot from the foul line, but made good on the second, tieing the score of 18-18. Morgan called for time out to collect themselves. Play was resumed and Morgan scored six baskets. Experience began to tell. Lanky Jones, who had been having trouble keeping Tayler from scoring, now opened up. Rap Wheatley, another big gun, started dropping shots from mid-court. Howard tallied three more times via the foul line. With two minutes to go, Coach Hurt took out his first team. Howard took advantage of this substitution to score a point every ten of the remaining seconds, Hall and Williams scoring three goals each.

C., Feb. 11.—Howard University broke triple tie with Lincoln and Hampton for lead in the C. I. A. A. loop last Tuesday night by defeating Virginia Union University in the Howard gymnasium, with a score of 32-12. Before the end of the first half, it was clearly evident that it would be a one-sided affair, as indicated by the score of 24-7 at half time. Between the periods a large number of the spectators left the gymnasium. Union was able to score only two field goals and three fouls during the first half, while Howard was collecting four twin-markers and eight points from the foul line.

Inc. 18 W. BROAD ST. Open Saturdays until 9 you will prove all that I am claiming about him. Folks, I tell you, it certainly is a shame how such good fighters as you will find among the colored fighters of the present time, how the great fighting promoters keep them back behind the stage and never let the public who is anxious to see these boys mix it up show their faces. There are two reasons for this. One is that the white publications will not give colored fighters a sufficient amount of publicity to make an impression on the sporting public, who are interested in this kind of amusement. Second is because the colored utes Saturday, February 15th. One minute before the half time whistle, Johnson C. Smith was in the lead, and only a timely basket by Taylor brought Hampton through the half ahead. The Bulls used a five man defense that, in its virtual impenetrability, kept the Hampton forwards trying from center. Horne, a stocky guard, allowed few attempts under the basket. Cole shot in the first minute, tying Avant's shot, and Alexander gained a temporary lead. But J. C. S.'s fine passing technique speedily pulled the Bulls ahead. **Second Half Nip and Tuck** The second half was a vacillating out a victory in the last ten mina-fair, Gates securing a lead for Hampton, only to have Avant tie the score 13-13 in the first five minutes. Cotton gained another lead, only to have Avant dissipate it again. Alexander, with ten minutes ahead, tied again, and Lanky Coles placed a difficult shot putting the Seasiders in the fore. newspapers fail to keep up with the activities of colored prize fighters, and they do not know who to give the publicity to. Both of these causes have a bearing on the fact, and they are responsible for this setback to colored fighters, who should be placed among the first raters and logical contenders for various prize fighting crowns. Be the reasons what they may, all must confess this, that is time the Boxing Commission is picking out a logo contender for the heavyweight crown. And Bob Lawson is one of the contenders. Follow me each week and learn more about colored athletes. The rest of the game was decidedly in favor of Hampton, as she recaptured some of her old form, Taylor, Cotton and Alexander dribbed and shot all around the Bulls, and the gun closed the fray with Hampton victorious, 29-10. Alexander and Cotton Are High Alexander and Cotton were high point men, scoring nine and five points, respectively. McGowan, Taylor, Horne and Christian were the outstanding guards. Hampton, 29. J.

Fla.—Concrete recognition and success of Miami's amazing sense of civic consciousness extending from the lowliest fishing guide to citizens in the highest places—a trait which has enabled the spunky southern capitals of sunshine to stage the most courageous municipal comeback in history—have come to a large contingent of business and social leaders in a series of distinguished awards. Loyalty and meritorious service to the city on the part of its citizens who refused to allow the depression of hurricanes and the deadly ravages of the fruit fly to hurt the spirit of progress and thwart the growth of the magic, tropical playground, have captured the imagination of the nation. Characteristic of the spirit is the Miami Herald 1904 issue for distinguished service by which the outside world is given a graphic picture of the difficulties which have beset the business and social leaders in a series of battles for supremacy for its southern-flung throne room. Everybody works together in Miami. Presentations of gold and silver cups and plaques to six of Miami's outstanding boosters and the facts behind their selection tell the story of persistent endeavor unprecedented. Leading the list is Edward Branch Dennis who captured the Clinic Achievement Award. Throughout the year he gave all of his time and liberally of his fortune in placing him at the forefront and sharing advantages which beset the staff adversity at every turn. Credited with averting a catastrophe and preventing litigation between two great corporations which would run the plans of years Mr. Dennis was also recognized as the pioneering spirit behind the success of esteemed charitable organization in Metropolitan Miami. His efforts were backed by an impartial jury. Former Mayor E G Sowell W H Combs A M G McGrone R W V Wakers and Mrs Mamie Terrell are also recognized for their unified contributions to the welfare of their city.

LOVE MARRY Author of "P Copyright 1929, by Hoyle, Jr. One of the hands that seem to hypothetically average Bridge players is one containing 100 aces. They bid one or two trump with this type of hand, irrespective of distribution and of the possible chance of game. Here are two example hands that illustrate the point: Example Hand No. 1 : Y : : A B : : Z : hearts — A, 9, 7, 6, 3, 2 Clubs — A, 4 Diamonds — A, 7 Spades — A, 10, 3 No score, first game. If Z dealt, what is his proper bid? Is it one no trump, deference to the 100 aces, or is it one heart? If Z bids one no trump with this hand, his chances of going game are very slight. He has only one stopper in three suits; and the fourth suit, hearts, is far from being set up. On the other hand, a bid of one heart offers much better chance for game. Such a bid eliminates the chance of a long suit making; and two or three tricks in the partner's hand make game very possible. Game also is possible even though partner holds only two or three hearts; therefore the proper bid with Z's hand unquestionably is one heart.

If Z deals, what is his proper bid? Here is a hand of unusual strength, and yet one of such unhallowed distribution that it does not warrant a no trump bid. With two suits, each of five cards or more, the player always should prefer the diamond suit to the no trump. In this case, therefore, Z's proper bid is one spade, and then, if overloaded on an opponent or by partner, Z should show the diamond suit. Bid in the no trump, Y Z should score a sure game, unless no trump, with a club or heart suit, game is not at all sure. In this particular hand, as a matter of fact, two old only were scored to no trump, while at spades or diamonds it was possible to make five old, on the lookout for bands or three true, and that let us see influence you to make a unsound no trump bid.

The Ball racial integrity bill, which makes no exception as to the Indians, already passed the House by a vote of 76 to 9. It is regarded as a foregone conclusion that the House will agree to the clause in the Senate bill which was amended in Committee to exclude Pamunkey and Mattaponi Indians from being classed as "colored" as long as they are domiciled on their reservations, and have one-fourth Indian and less than one-sixteenth Negro blood and who agree to marry only with others of the same racial and tribal classifications. The Senate amendment probably will be adopted by the House when the bills go to conference, for proponents of the measure saw no grave danger in it. The bill is designed to prevent "white children of mixed blood" from attending white schools, and with its passage this objective is assured. The school authorities will now be legally armed to maintain the color line in the public schools. Under the existing law, they are required to enroll in white schools children of mixed blood, provided the Negro admixture is less than one-sixteenth. A graphic picture is drawn of the mixed schools in which children with undiscriminable traces of Negro blood studied and played side by side unaware of any difference. Once the legislators had these facts before them, the opposition melted away, and the measure passed by a vote of 35 to 0. Both bodies rejected the suggestion that the matter be turned over to a commission on the grounds that these undesirable "mixed" schools could easily spread throughout the State before the commission reported upon its investigations. It now takes 100 per cent Caucasian blood to make a white man, in Virginia, but one drop of Negro blood makes a "colored person." MRS. JOHN F. WARE DIED IN PITTSBURGH—TO BE BURIED HERE Mrs. John F.

Central, Dept.B., Oklahoma City, Okla. While going east on the Richmond highway Friday night between Fisherville and Waynesboro Emmett Moore (white), being blinded by the lights of a passing automobile, swerved off the road and in doing so hit an unknown man with his automobile. After the accident Mr. Moore promptly hurried the victim to the Kings Daughters Hospital, where he died Sunday night without regaining consciousness. As explained, the accident was unavidable. The man, according to the undertaker, had not nothinfi on him when taken to the hospital to identify him. He had on three pairs of overalls and a dark suit of clothes under them. The only other articles on him being some food and a number of short pencils. The body was taken to a local undertaking establishment, where it was viewed by scores of colored people of the city, whom the undertaker had hoped would be able to identify the man. The man is very dark with protruding teeth, high forehead, and is about five feet six inches. Evidently he was tramping or was not so far from home by the fact that he had no luggage at all. This case again recalls the Leroy Lewis case, whom it will be remembered was found on the same highway in an unconscious state and died without being able to tell how he met his fate. However, this case being almost a parallel, may bear out the authorities in their belief that Lewis met his fate the same way; the only difference being that the autoist never stopped to pick him up. The readers of this paper are asked to communicate with us if they happen to know of a person missing. As we go to press the body is still that answers to this description, being held for identification. The man has a slight resemblance of Rev. William Jackson, of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, and Rev. R. C. Pannell, of this city, was called in to look the body over, as he knew the Rev. Jackson. Every minister in town attempted to identify the body, but to no avail. So if the man is not identified soon he will go to his grave among strangers, with somewhere a family and relatives left in a deep mystery of his whereabouts.

It was first evening, one of October's hazy, languid blue ones, and the slowly dying sun, like a huge red disc, hung low in the west, alchemizing, tinting, with a touch superb, each object in its light. It was supper time in Cedar Springs, a bustling little town in the neck of the valley, and from the four directions, hungry, tired makers of bread, could be seen trudging homeward. Each soon turned into his own little cottage, leaving the streets blurred and bare. Dr. Johnson, the young pastor of the little town's leading church, like the rest, turned into his yard, the parsonage yard, with a stride measured and slow. He too, was tired, for like the others, he too had known a rather hard day. He did not notice the super-sized white and salmon colored chrysanthemums which lined the sides of the long gravel walk, partially indistinct now, in the twilight; nor was he cognizant of the faint, yet sweet perfume of the fall violets. Once inside the little reception room, he flung himself listlessly upon the divan. A few smouldering coals, faint now, lay in a bed of white hickory ashes in the rather large fireplace. A vase of flowers stood on the long oak table. The parsonage was silent. No inviting odour came from the kitchen; no dishes rattled in the dining room. He walked to a front window, and looked out on Cedar Springs.

In this case as in many others, it was the town's only shoe shop; and it happened that on this particular, crisp October morning, the super sanhedrin was in council. "There goes the preacher's wife, Jack," broke in one who was standing near the window, "you say that you have never seen her." All must have been named Jack, for soon, all were milling, like disgruntled cattle, near the one window, one even peeped through the door. "Mother of Moses," exclaimed one known as Jack, when they had finally become normal, "Man, she's prettier than the law allows—and you say she's a preacher's wife? lawd help me, she's too pretty for that." "That's just what I've always said Jack," broke in the shoemaker, whose reputation from a feminine angle was known by every child in the village better than the battle of Bunker Hill, "that's what I've always said," he repeated.

Soon he heard foot-steps, and Edna, his wife, stepped into the front door. She did not see him as he stood in the shadows. Soon she made light. "Oh my, David, what are you doing here without light?" "Just dreaming Ed, I guess—I was going to make one though."

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—February 22, 1930 BOOK TALK It is always a pleasure to recommend the vork of Mr. Countee Cullen. He is one of the few Negro poets who combines the necessary equipment for first-rate writing. He possesses a wealth of the finest talent and his technical education was completed with honor at both New York and Harvard Universities. He is equipped for poetry of depth, breadth, and brilliant intellectuality. As a matter of fact, all of these qualities are elegantly manifest in his new book, The Black Christ and Other Poems. The title poem is by far the most magnificent and sustained work Mr. Cullen has produced. It is unsurpassed in the beauty and pathos of its appeal. The deep emotion which has always characterized Mr. Cullen's poetry has been forcefully harnessed into this tragic tale of a typically white southern festivity. There are other poems, which mourn incessantly of unrequited love; yet they are delightful gems of wit and philosophy. Some years ago when Mr. Cullen was at Harvard, the undergraduate newspaper commented that his poetry indicated a decided "death-complex." Doubtlessly the same publication would now claim that the internationally known poet suffered from a "love-complex." Without considering the suitability of either of these descriptions, it may be safely stated that Mr. Cullen is well on his way toward achieving the ultimate in the world of letters. The work is published by Harper and Brothers (New York City) and will make a distinctive addition to any library. It is not often that a clear unbiased chronicle of conditions in the old South appears in print—especially from the pen of a white southerner. Yet Life and Labor in the Old South, by Ulrich B. Phillips (Little Brown and Company) is a close approximation to a work freed from race prejudice. This volume deals painstakingly with the social and economic history of the old South up to 1861. It minces no words in treating slavery in all of its hideous ramifications. Throughout the volume, when the term "Negro" is used by the author, it appears with a capital "N." There are also valuable references and notes which make the book one of value in research work. About Science Scientific discoveries and inventions are no longer the interest of a select few, but are of considerable importance to the great masses of people. The advent of the radio and the imminent possibility of immediate popularity for such undreamed of inventions as television, have served to bring to the attention of the lay mind the growing necessity Too Much ACID Many people, two hours after eating, suffer indigestion as they call it. It is usually excess acid. Correct it with an alkali. The best way, the quick, harmless and efficient way, is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It has remained for 50 years the standard with physicians. One spoonful in water neutralizes many times its volume in stomach acids, and at once. The symptoms disappear in five minutes. You will never use crude methods when you know this better method. And you will never suffer from excess acid when you prove out this easy relief. Please do that-for your own sake-now. PHILLIPS Milk of Magnesia of keeping abreast of all phases of scientific progress. W.W.Norton and Company, Inc., (70 Fifth Avenue., New York) in good season recently began the publication of the New Science Series which is a collection of valuable and considerably abridged volumes on any number of current scientific problems. This series purports to keep modern men and women in touch with the finest minds in the field of science. "What Is Darwinism?" is a volume of this new series, and is typical of the small pamphlet-like appearance of each book of this series. It contains an abundance of clear comprehensive information written in a charmingly argumentative style. Darwinian evolution as a definite concept is frequently flouted by those who are entirely unacquainted with the fundamentals of this much abused theory. This small volume will do much toward setting one on the right track in reference to evolution and natural selection. Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan is the author of this volume. He is a leading American authority in the field of biology. This as well as all other volumes of this series is obtainable at the price of $1.00. LINCOLN AND HIS WIFE'S HOME TOWN. By William H. Townsend. The Bobbe- Merrill Company, Indianapolis. Price $5.00. In this volume, it is found that Abraham Lincoln was never in favor of "bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, nor of making voters or jurors out of Negroes nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter-marry with white people." It appears that Lincoln's attitude toward the Negro was that of compassion toward a slightly inferior being. His sympathy was akin to that held by members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This book sheds much interesting information on the inside life of the great opportunist.

Again the young Ne- gro genius Scored a complete triumph. The Prince of Wales, a great music lover, was so delighted that he invited the Bridgetowers as his special guests, and took the lad under his protec- tion. The prince had a private or- chestra cf his own, and Bridgetower was made one of its members. He gave many private recitals for the prince and his friends. He was often at court, and the close friend- ship between him and the Prince of Wales continued after even the latter became England's ruler. Friend of Prince of Wales Many who sought the Prince’s fa- vor used to approach him _ through Bridgetower. There is on record a letter from Dr. Crouch, the composer, to Bridgetower, which reads in part: “As I find that you are frequently in company with the Prince Regent could you do me the favor to mention my oratorio to His Royal Highness b jn the me-ntime, Bridgetower’s triumph in public continued. At Bath, where he appeared a few months af- ter his arrival in England the record price of five guineas a seat ($26) was paid. A guinea at that time, was worth about ten times its present value. The Bath Morning Post, December 8, 1799, said: “The young African prince, whose musical talents have been so much celebrated, had a more crowded and splendid concert on Sunday than has ever been known in this place. | “There were up to 550 persons pres- went and they were gratified by such skill cn the violin as created general astonishment as well as pleasure. _ “Ruzzuin (noted violinist) was en- raptured and declared that he had ‘never heard such execution before, ‘not even from his friend, La Motte, who was, he thought, much inferior to this wonderful boy. The father was in the gallery, and was so much affected by the applause bestowed on his son, that tears of pleasure and gratitude flowed in profusion. The profits were estimated at 200 guineas, many pe-sons having given five gui- ‘eas for each ticket.” Acclaimed by Critics Another Bath paper, the Chronicle said of another recital: a “The amateurs of music in ‘th’s city received on Saturday last at the ‘New Rooms, the highest treat imag- inable, from the exquisite playing of Master Bridgetower, whose taste and execution on the violin is equal, per- haps superior to, the best professors of the present, or any former day, The Covent, Room, Recesses and Gal- ery were thronged with the very best company and scores went away with- out being able to procure a hearing. “Those who had that happiness were enraptured with the astonishing ability of this wonderful child for he is but ten years old.

Ht was a frac ap as the law was not in effect at the time Jac was said to have violated it. Nevertheless, he consented te the unjust precedure, QB green Bridgetower was one of the most dazzlingly brilliant musicians of all time. Kings and princes, great composers and art lovers, social leaders and even his rivals, all alike fell under the charm of his play- ing. é Admission prices that would be considered very high even in present day pugilism were paid to see him. He was the private musician and personal friend of King George the Fourth of England; Beethoven, the greatest composer the world has ever seen, wrote a sonata for him and used him as an accompanist, and Samuel Wesley, famous organist and hymn composer, wrote of him with most enthusiastic praise. When he drew his bow across his instrument, he so affected his hearers that he seemed more a miracle than a man. ‘The great violinist was born in Biala Poland in 1789 of an African, father and a German, some say a Pol- ish, mother. His father, who was known as “The African Prince” was himself of the most accomplished men of his day being an excellant musician and a linguist. Instant Success Most_men have had to struggle long and hard to achieve fame. Not so with Bridgetower. With him it was instantaneous. He began his career in Paris when he was not yet ten years of age, and from the moment he took up his bow in public he be- came famous. ‘To that concer. had come the musi- cal elite of Paris, attracted by the story of this little colored pupil of Giornovichi, of whom the papers had een speaking. Bridgetower’s execu- tion exceeded all reports, and his audience ‘went wild over him. The Mercury of France said: “a remarkable debut which has greatly interested the music lovers of Pairs, is that of the young Negro from the Colonies, Mr. Bridgetower. “Mr, Bridgetower has played sev- eral concertos with a clearness, ease, an execution, and even a sensibility, which it is very rare to find in one so young (he is not yet ten). His genius, which is as true a3 it is pre- ocious, is one of the best responses that one can make to the philosophy of those who would deprive others of his color of the opportunity of dis- tinguishing themselves in the arts.” Conquers Paris Salon after salon in Paris now fought for the honor of hearing and entertaining him.

And each day her determination to break the bonds of what she termed narrow man-made conventions, leave the cloistered ways and live, became more pronounced. She loved David, yes, but their ideas of love, like their ideas of life, were different. To him, love and marriage meant sacrifice, sacrifice of the two concerned, for one great object. To him, love was a minute counterpart of Him for whom he worked, a blessing which came to two people, blending them into one inseparable whole, guiding their thoughts toward one end. But to her, love and marriage meant freedom, freedom of thought, freedom of action, freedom to exercise one's conceptions—a fullness of life. Her ideas were tempered, however, with good sense. She did not believe in the strict sense of the term, in a single standard, in that she did not think a woman capable of doing everything proportionate, but she did want to live her own life. "I must tell him," she soliloquized, "I must—I can't stand it." She found him in his study, a little room simple in its fixings, which was east of the bedroom. His chin rested in his hands, a shade was low over his eyes, and a book, which she knew to be a Bible, lay open before him on the little flat-top WIGS HAND MADE OF NATURAL HUMAN HAIR.

So she substituted: "Back, Davey dear, now I'm going to begin dinner." "Oh so early?" he returned. "Smart girl." How could she hurt him, she wondered, how could she,—why wouldn't he see things her way? The afternoon wore slowly away, capped by a beautiful sunset, and night and the stars came on, promising hours and hours of quietness and peace before the storm. So October's bright blue weather passed with the weeks, and November's surly blasts came on, bringing football games and turkeys. It was the night before Thanksgiving, a dense fog hung over the little village, making the cottages appear weird and ghostlike. A ruddy fire burned in the fireplace of the parsonage bedroom, and its blue and red and yellow flames, dancing in glee, wove shadows on the pale orchid curtains drawn before the windows. Edna sat before her dressing table, combing her unbobbed hair, which fell in silken wavy masses, over her shoulders, and which stood out gravely against the satiny background of her negligee. David stood with his back to the fire, admiring the slim, graceful figure, the tender curves and the ebon beauty of her hair. "Mv goodness, but you're lovely," he whispered, as he sat down on the bench beside her, "I wonder yet, why you ever married me."

Fancy cakes and cookies can be made with a minimum of time and trouble by melting marshmallows, peanut brittle, nougat or caramels, over hot water and adding to wafers. For instance: Saltine wafers may be spread with marshmallows, topped with chopped nuts, and browned in the oven. Vanilla snaps may be put together as a sandwich with peanut brittle or caramels, softened to spread. Ginger snaps make a good combination with a sandwich filling of softened nougat, while many of the candies sold in small packages may be melted and added to a sauce for ice cream, or added to a simple foundation filling for cake. SPANOLA is easy to use. You simply smooth it over your skin like a lotion and gently massage. It vanishes in a few seconds and leaves the skin gorgeously soft and smooth to touch. As for whiteness, look in your mirror after using your SPANOLA and see what it means to make your skin 20 shades whiter and with so little effort. Just notice how much better your skin feels, and looks, for besides whitening the skin 20 shades with one application, SPANOLA is a fine tonic for the skin. All trace of bleishes, freckles and dark spots disappear as soon as SPANOLA is used.

But if he is the emotional type, don't do it. For even should he give his consent, he is liable to get moody and feel imposed upon by the arrangement. Don't do it if the friend is sentimental either. For he will begin to try to make love to you and fancy he owns the child. The reason society frowns upon such an arrangement is because human nature is so seldom sane. And society always condemns anything that is likely to encourage conflict. But viewing the question dispassionately there is nothing against it. Of course the whole aim of wedlock is legitimate offspring. Faithfulness is demanded of the wife mainly for this reason—that the husband will not have to support another man's posterity.

Beginning Soon “THE DARK KNIGHT” A Serial of Extraordinary Interest ee After Many Failures He Discovered A Real Pile Remedy For years he suffered with itching piles. Now and then he'd get a lit- tle relief from some salve or other —but nothing much to speak of. Finally someone told him of Pet- erson’s Ointment — of its powerful healing qualities which had brought such swift, blessed relief to thousands of pile sufferers. - Somewhat doubtful, he bought a box—the first application absolutely convinced him that this was the most marvelous Ointment in the world. Why, man alive! That agonizing soreness went right out of those piles—the tortuous itching stopped— before he knew it his piles were gone. Every enterprizing druggist in ‘America knows of the mighty heal- ing power of Peterson's Ointment— he knows it ends piles—one 35c¢ box will prove it. eS = ee | re ein eten \| Whips and Relishes | VEC It is always wise to have a number of recipes for such tasties as whips and relishes, filed away where they may be found at a moment's notice.

Resignedly she lay in the tender fold of his arms, looking wistfully, hungrily, into his eyes, thinking, waiting. For sometime he held her close, and every fiber of his being, throbbed in a burning, passionate rhythm, with the tender swell of her breast.

I now sleep well and my pep and weight have all been recovered." Tanlac gives results and gives them quick for every herb, bark and root in it is a strong potent medicine.

St. Louis Music Co. Dept. 190 St. Louis, Mo. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—February 22, 1930 which later became the famous Kreutzer Sonata. The story goes that Beethoven had intended naming the great sonata for Bridgetower, but a young lady of whom Beethoven was very fond, showed too great an interest in the young violinist, which so angered Beethoven, that impulsively he scratched off Bridgetower's name, and substituted that of Rudolph Kreutzer of Paris, whom he had never seen. Such is the story told by Ries in his "Notizen." Bridgetower previously had scored a triumph in that piece. Beethoven had premised him to write it for one of his concerts, but the composer was so busy that he did not give it to Bridgetower until 4:30 the morning of the concert and then in a script to a greater or less degree illegible. Often Accompanied Beethoven The concert was to take place at 8. But Bridgetower was equal to the occasion, and his interpretation of the marvellous piece was so perfect, that Beethoven, carried away with delight, jumped to his feet, and embracing the young violinist, cried: "Noch einmal, mein leiber Bursch." (Once more, my dear fellow.) Later in Vienna he often accompanied Beethoven in public. In Vienna, the aristocracy turned out in force to see him and he became the idol of the Austrian capital. Among those present at his first concert were the Emperor of Austria and his court, and the Prince Esterhazy, the Prince de Lichenstein, Prince Lobkowitz, and the British Ambassador. Visiting Rome, Milan, Paris and other cities, he rode on the crest of triumph. Back once more in London he became a greater rage than ever, and commanded a higher price than any other musician of his day. His successes continued for many years after this, and he remained in the service of his firm friend, King George the fourth, until the latter's death. Died in Poverty After the king's death, and due also to illness, caused by gall-stones, he retired from public life and died on February 29, 1860, in comparative poverty and obscurity. He was buried at Kensal Green cemetery, London. Unselfish Genius Like most geniuses, money had mattered nothing to him, and he spent it as easily as he earned it. Much of it went to aiding deserving musicians. Because of his close friendship with the King, he could have had a title, but this he refused. At no time was his influence with the King ever used in his own behalf, only for that of his friends. Samuel Wesley has paid him the following tribute: "George Bridgetower whom they used to denote, the African Prince, is justly to be ranked with the first masters of the violin. He practised much with the celebrated Viotti, and imbibed largely of his bold and spirited style of execution. "It was a rich treat for the lover of the instrument to hear him perform the matchless and immortal solos cf Bach, all of which he perfectly retained in memory and executed with the utmost precision and without a single eror. Indeed whatever the composition, or whoever the author, whose music he undertook to perform, he treated them in so perfect and masterly a manner as to yield entire and universal delight and satisfaction to every auditor." Was Composer Bridgetower also wrote several bits of music, two of which are to be found in the Pritish Museum. They are a "Diatonica Armonica for the Piano," and a Ballad, "You Call Me Fickle." His fame, however, rests on his marvelous skill with the violin.

Chicago, Ill. Suggestions for the Week-End CLEANING WASHABLE SILKS A suds made of neutral white soap or soap chips and cold or lukewarm water should be used for washable silk garments. If white, silk shirts and waists are washed in such suds, rinsed in water of the same temperature, wrapped in a bath towel to absorb the extra moisture, and then pressed with a warm iron they will not turn yellow for a long time. GARMENTS THAT TOUCH THE SKIN Cotton and linen garments especially those that touch the skin or are worn in hot weather, should be carefully aired and frequently washed, because they absorb oil and perspiration from the body. DON'T PRESS TOO MUCH Too frequent pressing of partly soiled white washable garments will tend to yellow them, and colored ones may be permanently discolored in this way. In pressing cotton or linen material, it must be evenly dampened, and the iron must be perfectly clean and free from rust; otherwise the material is likely to be stained with rust. KEEPING THE NEW APPEARANCE A hat should be carefully brushed with a soft brush to remove all dust not only from the hat itself but from the folds of the trimming. A piece of velvet should be used to wipe the dust from silk or satin hats. A NEW USE FOR THE TEAKETTLE Hats that have been badly wet and then dried are often improved by careful steaming. This may be done by holding the outside of the hat over the spout of a boiling teakettle or over a wet cloth placed on a hot inverted iron. FOR OUTER CLOTHING Cleanliness demands that all outer clothing should be rid of the accumulation of dust and dirt immediately after wearing. Silk and woolen garments and hats should be brushed.
