Volume xlvii Number 16 UNEM Urban League M Economic Conc Negroes of URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS ON Shows Healthy Signs—Many Groups Interested Deveopments in industry during January showed no marked improvements, but a number of incidents gave promise of better days ahead for Negro workers, according to the latest bulletin of the National Urban League's Industrial Relations Department, presided over by T. Arnold Hill. Investigations in many quarters, new jobs of significant import, agitation respecting labor union affiliation, and committees actively campaigning to expand the occupational horizon of Negro workers are among the bright signs that appeared during last month. There were losses, but the gains, though few in number, were significant. In some places a large number of colored depressing effect upon the entire Negro population; whereas in others efforts of committees and councils have revived hope and confidence. In New York the Harlem Housewives League, formed by the New York Urban League, was organized with sub-subcommittees on fair weights, prices, publicity and employment. The women are visiting stores asking that Negroes be employed, circulating petitions among housewives, calling upon Harlem merchants to give employment, and urging that patronage be given by Harlem housewives to stores of the Colored Mercantile Association. A large department store has installed colored elevator operators, an innovator is like Henry B. Beinecke by other One Hundred and Twenty-fifth workers out of employment had a stores that will be concentrated upon in this drive for larger opportunity for Negro workers. Two chain food stores have installed colored managers, and another store has promised to give opportunities of an unusual character to women. For far-reaching importance is the installation of colored clerks and messenger boys serving a branch office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, culminating years of labor on the part of many agencies in New York City. In Chicago the National Negro Labor Conference, sponsored by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, enlisted the support of national figures who exposed the essential di Continued on page 4. U. S. GIVES WA DOSE OF AM (Crusade News Service) Washington, D. C., Feb.-Negro mothers of workers who ost their lives protecting Wall Street investments in the last imperialist world slaughter will not be permitted to travel with other "Gold Star" mothers in the pilgrimages arranged by the United States Government to the American cemeteries in France and Belgium. In line with its traditional policy of degrading Negroes and sowing contempt and hatred of the Negro race among the white mothers, the white ruling class will subject Negro "Gold Star" mothers to humiliation of segregation on these pilgrimages, which while arranged by the imperialists ostensibly for the purpose of giving the mothers of the victims of imperialist greed and exploitation the opportunity of visiting the graves of their sons, are actually for the purpose of stirring up war memories and nationalistic sentiments in preparation for the coming imperialist war. The usua bunk about "equal accommodations" and "making the trip as comfortable as possible for all concerned" is being handed out by the War Department for the guidance of the treacherous Negro petty bourgeois leadership of Moton, Kelly Miller, DeBois, Fred Moore, Depriest, George Harris and the news-papers of this group, such as the SWISS BELL RINGERS AT BAPTIST CHURCH The public is invited to hear the (Crusader News Service) (Crusader News Service) New York, Feb.—Thousands of unemployed and blacklisted Negro and white workers in the South are starving. This is the message sent to the Workers' International Relief, 949 Broadway, New York City, by a Leaksville, N. C., worker, whose name is being withheld to protect him. Leaksville is the town where a textile strike recently occurred. The worker's letter states: "From local reports thousands of workers, both black and white, are starving in more than 85 counties of this state. Thousands of workers, of course, are unemployed, and when they were employed they only received enough pay, about one-half of their real expenses. Thus the whole family was forced to work. But now many of the workers have been blacklisted for strike activity, and even if one of them gets employment the pay is not enough to keep the family. "In other centers there there was no strike thousands of Negro and white workers are unemployed. The plight of these workers is particularly terrible." The Workers' International Relief has started a campaign to aid the Southern textile workers in their struggle against their recent unbearable conditions. It has opened Southern headquarters at Charlotte, N. C., with Caroline Drew, who directed the Southern relief activities of the W. I. L. R. during the Gastonia strike, in charge. Kitchens to feed the children of unemployed and victimized workers will be established, and W. I. R. locals organized in various towns, in all these activities the Workers' International Relief fights against all race discrimination and strives to unite the Negro and white workers in the common struggle against their oppressors. The W. I. R. also supports the campaign of the militant National Textile Workers' Union, which is organizing both the black and white workers of the South for struggle to improve their conditions. Funds for the W. I. R. campaign in the South should be sent to the National office of the Workers' International Relief, 949 Broadway, Room 512, New York City. --- Amsterdam News, the New York Age, the New York News, the Atlanta Independent, etc., and the Negro masses can prepare themselves for a barrage of reformist nonsense from these habitual apologists for imperialism, who consistently conceal from the workers that segregation, lynching, etc., are part of a definite policy on the part of the white ruling class to split and weaken the working class and are typical of "Americanism" and capitalist "democracy." These misleaders are beneficiaries of the system of imperialist oppression and are its apologists and defenders. The only Negro organization engaged in a real struggle against Negro oppression is the American Negro Labor Congress, which is holding its second national convention in St. Louis, Mo., in June, 1930. Its leadership of ....egro workers is the only leadership willing and capable of leading the Negro masses in the fight for emancipation. Its organ. The Liberator, is the only Negro publication which dares to tell the truth to the Negro workers and agricultural farmers, and which, as a collective leader, organizes and leads them in daily struggles against white ruling class terrorism, against low wages and unemployment, etc. Join the A.

RAMSEY DENTAL SOCI Police Say Jeter FellOut Window The police theory in the Emanuel Jeter case is that Jeter fell from the roof of a house on Pulliam Street while in a drunken condition. Jeter is known to them as a notorious bootleger. He was found in an unconscious condition in front of the house last Friday evening, surrounded by broken whiskey bottles, and died last night in St. Philips Hospital. Wild rumors were to the effect that he had been thrown from the window and the bottles planted to allay suspicion. Others said he was running from the clean-up squad, but the facts in the case seem to bear out the theory that he fell because of an overloading of his "tummy" with white lightning.

Lucas, President of its New Orleans branch, the case of Charles Guerand, white police o..cerr who shot and killed Hattie McCary, fourteen-year-old colored girl, after she had resisted his advances in a cafe. The account given of the'affair in a local daily is as follows: "According to Corporal William Milton of the tent precinct, and Assistant District Attorneys Michael E. Culligan and Albert B. Granzin, Guerand, off duty, in civilian clothes, went to the restaurant of Matt A. Piscun at 3037 Tulane Avenue, where the Negro girl worked. "Guerand is regularly assigned to track duty at Tulane Avenue and Salcedo streets. Corporal Milton said. "Going into the rear of the place, police allege that the patrolman made advances t the girl and an argument ensued. According to Assistant District Attorneys Culligan and Granzin, to whom Guerand made a verbal statement, the girl reached for a knife threatening to kill him. "He is then alleged to have pulled his revolver and fired at the girl two shots taking effect. "An ambulance was summoned and the girl taken to the hospital. Corporal Milton arrived and placed Guerand under arrest. "Guerand is said to have told Sergeant Joseph Cassard, special to the superintendent of police, that he had been drinking steadily Monday." The charge against the patrolman was made murder, after the death of the colored girl. The N. A. A. C.

His investigations at present are confined to its reaction upon the upper classes of the race here. When the very best minds of our group fall for such a palpable money gamble, something is radically wrong with Inteligent minds, supposed to be "bullet proof" to card monte, the old pocketbook gag policy, etc. If not proof against such things, then why become intelligent. One prominent member of the legal fraternity here informed us this week that he is now convinced of the justice in The Planet's position. He was convinced after reading the "dope" sheet now being sold to ignorant dupes at 10 cents per.

N.

Chiles was awarded damages in the sum of $600 against the Virginia Electric and Power Company in the Circuit Court Thursday morning, February 27th. Miss Chiles, a pretty school teacher in the Richmond Public School, was injured November 21, 1928, while driving her car to Sydney School. The accident occurred at the intersection of Idlewood Avenue and Lombardy Street. Miss Chiles had slowed at the crossing and after seeing no vehicle approaching she strated across Idlewood Avenue. When half was across one of the big Power Company busses crushed into her coupe and threw the car into a telegraph pole. With her at the time were Misses Gertrude Walbarrow and Giays Lucas, who proved star witnesses for the plaintiff. Witnesses for Miss Chiles were Drs. I. A. Jackson and Fred D. Brown, who attended her; Oscar Cheatham, Alfred Delaney, Herman Martin, George M. Alvin and Dr. J. A. Chiles. Photos of the scene of the accident made by George O. Brown were among the exhibits. Attorneys James T. Carter and M. J. Fulton represented Miss Chiles and presented an airtight case, their arguments before the jury being devastating in their effects. Attorney Carter charged that the company's bus was traveling so fast that but for the fact that it struck a pole it would be going yet by momentum. Judge Julien Guan presided in the case, which lasted part of two days. Miss Martha A. Chiles is the daughter of Colonel and Mrs. John R. Chiles and a sister of Dr. James A. Chiles, a prominent dentist. Dr. Chiles' suit for damages to his car will come up on the 18th of March. man if the facts are found to be as stated. TEE WORKERS "CLEARING DAILY perform and must go through. The Planet is not essaying the role of a moral reformer, it is not staging a general fight on the practice of gambing here, but we must warn at least against the danger that is apparent when our best minds are ensnared bu such practice as this "mathematical daily dozen." Our investigation this week shows that the habit has gotten a strong foothold among office workers here. It would be surprising to discover in just what business offices here among us that the "happy guessing" is going on in full swing. Some of our very best office workers, male and female, are busy each day, burning up valuable time their companies and stockholders, indulging in the pipe dream that tomorrow they will catch enough of Uncle Sam's new bills to "build these more stately mansions." It is surprising to learn just how many "big fish" will bite when the odds are 600 to 1 if you win and 1,000,000 to 1 that you won't win.

Please note the following analyses: Answer to Problem No. 2 Hearts — J, 10, 9, 7, 3 Clubs — 7, 6, 3 Diamonds — Q, 10 Spades — A, 8, 2 : Y : : A B : : Z : Hearts — A, K Clubs — A, K, J, 10 Diamonds — K, 9, 3 Spades — J, 10, 9, 3 No score, rubber game. D dealt and bid one no trump. All passed and A opened the deuce of clubs, Y played the trey. B the nine and Z won the Answer to P Hearts — Clubs — 6 Diamonds Spades — Hearts — 8 Clubs — J, 10, 9, 6, 3, 2 Diamonds — K, 10, 5, 3 Spades — Q, 3 Hearts — Clubs — 1 Diamonds Spades — Rubber game, A B — 20; Y Z — 0. Z has the ideal. Give the proper bidding of all four players and when you have decided on the final bid, the correct opening lead and subsequent play of **Solution:** With a freckle hard of his type, it's only proper opening bid is four hearts. A should pass and Y with a big spadge hand, should also pass. He has his help for hearts and should depend on the soundness of his partner's personal bid. B has no choice to double or hear hearts. He has appended a good chance to beat the bid. He has posed and A must then open his proper opening. The six jason heart is the best opening from a double dummy proposition, hardly even a very fine line player would be that opening in regular play. A your partner doubles a big suit B. A generally is a good rule to open this heart what you should in your year. In the case A's proper opening is the best, B should win this. Answer to Pr Hearts — Clubs — A Diamonds Spades — none none Diamonds — Q, 8, 7 Q, 8, 7, 6 : Y : A : Z Hearts — Clubs — 7 Diamonds Spades — There are no trumps and Z is in the row. How can Y Z win four of the seven trumps against any possible defense? Solution: Z should lead the four of trumps. A can either win this trick by playing the queen of spades, or allow B to win the trick with the jack of spades. (a) Suppose B wins the trick. Y should discard the seven of hearts. B can now make one of three leads, (1) the ten of diamonds, (2) the ten of clubs, (3) the six of hearts. (1) Suppose at trick two B plays the ten of diamonds. Z should play the five of diamonds and A can either (x) play the seven of diamonds or (y) the queen of diamonds. (x) Suppose A plays the seven of diamonds. B must lead a heart or a club. If he leans a heart, Y wins two heart tricks and returns the nine of clubs, thus forcing B to lead clubs, thus giving Y the two remaining tricks. If at trick three B should lead a club, Y should win the ace queen and trow B in the lead with the third club. B is then forced to lead hearts and diamonds. A plays the queen of diamonds. Then Z first lead is the seven of diamonds, thus Z in the lead with the six of diamonds. On the other hand, if A hearts are good, B should lead the six of clubs. Y then the queen, trow with the hearts to go. Five Simple Rules for Practical inference from the views of an eminent physician are so simple that they are almost trite, and yet they are fundamental. If you want to keep out of the repair shop and make your own body "tick" vigorously and regularly, don't rely on drugs, but co-operate with nature in five ways: 1—Drink an abundance of water to keep your cells in condition. 2—Sleep at least eight hours out of each 24 to maintain your batteries. 3—Regulate your diet carefully so your body will be adequately nourished, and don't "dig your grave with your teeth" by overeating. 4—Get plenty of fresh air, especially when you are sleeping. 5—Exercise regularly to rebuild worn tissues, increase blood circulations and develop new cells. If these five simple rules were honestly and thoroughly observed for several generations as vigorously as the Jews have obeyed the laws of hygiene handed down by Moses, druggists and doctors would eventually be obliged to seek other occupations, and the world would be populated by a very much superior race of human beings.

How should Z plan the play from now on so as to be sure of game, irrespective of the position of the cards and of his opponents' Choose the Present Desired. Send in Coupon and You May Select Your Choice. Solution: The opening of the deuce of clubs marks A with exactly four clubs and B with two. For that reason, Z should lead the king of clubs at trick two so that when B obtains the lead, he will be forced to lead one of the other three suits. Z should then lead the ace and the king. Z should lead the jack of spades and, if A plays a low spade, Z should finesse the jack. If B wins this trick, he is thus obliged to lead back either hearts, spades or diamonds. No matter where the cards lie, Z must thus score three odd and the game. A good way to get the proper results from this hand is to lay out the cards and play the hand, first placed on the back and then placed on the second club and the two heart tricks. LADIES WILL BE DELIGHTED. trick with the ace of diamonds and lead the four of hearts. Z should win this trick with the ace of hearts and lead the seven of spades.

If B makes the mistake of leashing another heart, Z will make the balance of the tricks as he will win the trick in Y's hand with the rite of hearts and make all of Y's spades as they are new to up. If B leads the king of clubs, the same as Z will win Y's the rite of hearts and thus again be able to make all of Y's spades. B's best play is trick four is the lead of the queen of diamonds. Y must trump this trick with the rite of hearts and should then lead the king a d jack of spades on which Z's hand record his two losing diamonds.

One of our correspondents has written us, to say that a minister in her community made it the subject of his sermon last Sunday, pay- ing due respects to the editor of The Staunton Tribune. The let- ter followsl: 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 hu- man nature is so seldom sane, And society always condemns anything that is likely to encourage conflict. But viewing the question dispassion- ately there is nothing against it. Of course the whole aim of wed- lock is legitimate offspring. Faith- fulness is demanded of the wife mainly for this reason—that the husband will not have to support another man’s posterity. But if your husband, being himself impotent, is willing to do so, society should ‘not object. Of course, society WILL if it knows it. So do be discreet. KNOW YOUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

S.)—The recently enacted “racial integrity” bill which defines as “colored” all persons having an “ascertainable” degree of Negro blood has been amended by the Senate 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 blood and less than one-six- teenth Negro blood and who agree to marry only with others of the same racial and tribal classification. The bill provides that the Pa- munkeys and Mattaponis may bring forward “biological, — ethnologicai and historical evidence, including historic records,” and that the court shail have “jurisdiction to ascer- tain and determine a roll of the members of any such tribe of In- dians.” The Registrar of Vital Statistics is obligated, under the bill, to rogister the Indians in ac- cordance with the findings of the court, a Unempioyment. lemma the Negro faces in his ef- foris to rise. ‘he Rosenwald Fund began an inyéstigation to check tvends among Negro workers in im- portant centers of the country.

In Pitts— burgh uttempts to recruit Negro drivers of taxicabs to take the places of striking whites met with failure. In Omaha union members and Negro workers in the building trades con- ferred over plans to improve the re- lationship between the two groups. In Buffalo a bitter fight between Negro and white musicians has re- sulted from the importation of out- of-town Negro orchestras in the city for dance halls in which Negro mu- sicians are said to have the mo- nopoly. ‘Poecas: Losses were decisive in Richmond, where unemployment approached the level of 1922 for workers of both races.

TRANSFERRED BY ATLANTIC CONSTAL NORWAY The most marvelous coastal resort in the world, the great Atlantic Coastal Highway, is now open for its 2500 miles between Calais, France and Key West, Flas. as all-purpose thermoplastics along the Atlantic Sea岸. It not only spans the ocean Across the Florida manhattan and Key West a distance of 141 miles over rough tides and palm- and coral coastal bays will be extended by a private jet to join the Bahamas to join up with the Cuban Coastal Highway. This connection will give the Atlantic Coastal Highway a total length of 3100 miles. It is公顷 if any one has met the world has ever encountered such immense enthusiasm in the cities through which it passes. The pleasures of the city of Key West, America's southern city and the City of Americas spent $300,000 through bonds issued by Monroe County of which the city is the capital. The Madea City of Florida spent $800,000 on Biscayne Boulevard clearing every 24 blocks of streets and buildings to give a entrance for the Atlantic Coast Highway to Miami, along the way to front of the city. Wilmington, N. 2, a few months ago opened its great double bridges across two branches of the Cape Fear River costing $1,250,000 to open the route of the Atlantic Coast Highway. The historical city of Norfolk, combined with Portsmouth and South Norfolk, a community of nearly 300,000, has spent over ten million on new bridges in ferry routes to Atlantic Coastal Highway. The highway now leads into the Norfolk-Portsmouth area by fine bridges and connecting aquatic roads. New accommodations for motorists have sprung up all along the way. It is now the shortest route between the North and South along the Atlantic Coast. WELL IF IT ISN'T TESSIE TISH IN PERSON! HOW ARE YOU? IF YOU KNOW SO GO SINCE Y HERE Leaving Calais, Me., the Atlantic Coastal Highway follows the rockbound New England coast along U.S. Route No. 1. Here are many views of the ocean, lakes and fishing industries, pine-clad heights and old Maine homes with houses and barns built together. On it goes through Portland, port of the Falkland Islands, Plymouth, Providence, O. and a score of other cities nearby have identified with the old Boston Post Road, to New York. vines extend a little via the Lincoln Highway to Shilohiaphla, and on to Baltimore and Washington with all their upwards points of historic military naval interest. From Washington across the ocean and near the base of the George Washington National Monument goos a broad highway through the pans for lots of Virginia's hills to Richmond, 160 miles from Washington. From Richmond you can drive down the North side of the James River through old Williamburg now being restored to its Colonial aspect by Mr John D Rockefeller Jr. to Norfolk. Or you can to Norfolk by the King's Highway, King Highway (U S No. 10 to Petersburg and Virginia No. 10 to the remainder of the way) follows the route the royal post once traveled through Petersburg, past the bloody battlefield of the Crater and Smithfield, famous for its hams and its delicious food, passing on its way Bacon-Castle, one of the most interesting of early Colonial houses, and old St. Luke's Church, built in 1632, the oldest Protestant Church in America Motorists using the King's Highway enter Norfolk through Smithfield and either the Norfolk-Fortress or the Norfolk-Fortress Ferry. Or you can go from Richmond down the Old Cavalier Trail (U S S 60) a fine smooth high- way leading through the historic Virginia Peninsula, 60 miles to Newport News. Many traverse the distances in two hours. But that is too fast to see the country. The long hills, the lovely forests the streams over which Lafayette, Cornwall, McClellan and Lee and other famed leaders of our Revolutionary and Civil War are not intriguing to be passed like a flash. It traverses a region sure to interest motorists. Williamsburg, seat of William and Mary College and home of the first Constitutional assembly in the American colonies. This city, filled with quiet old mansions, is awakening after a sleep of centuries to find itself again in the era of silk skirts, curled wigs and stately courtesans. The towns are already busy restoring the city to its original colonial splendor. A half hour or less from Williamsburg is Jamesown. I WILL BORE THEM FOR YOU THANK YOU- YOU HAVE DONE THAT ENOUGH!

At Newport News, famous for its huge shipbuilding plant and dryock, a series of great bridges and a ferry offer alternative routes into Norfolk. The largest of the bridges is the James River Bridge, a vast staircase and a series of the sights of the country and its main span spanning 50 feet above the water and 5 miles long. It spans the river between the Virginia Peninsula and the mainland about a mile from Newport News. Other bridges connected by fine concrete roads carry the Atlantic Coastal Highway right into Norfolk. From Newport News, also a ferry operates to Norfolk on a forty-five minute schedule. It also hauls a Hampton ship, driving a panorama of the ships from the seven ports of the world anchored there. Another ferry runs from Old Point Comfort to Nor- folk on an hourly schedule's Historic, yet modern, Norfolk offers points of interest for every taste. The huge coal piers and the magnificent harbor that make it a great world port and naval base; old St. Paul's Church with its Revolutionary cannon ball in its ivy-clad walls; the adjacent beaches with their boating, diving and swimming and the beautiful Shore Drive which links the adjacent view third largest resort in the country, where the famous hansen Hotel is located, with the neat sand-dunes and pictureque lighthouses of Cape Henry and the social gaygirl of Virginia Beach, where the Cavalier Hotel is situated, offer a wide choice to the visitor. From Norfolk you go South by U. S. Route 17, skirting the famous Dismal Swamp which George Washington surveyed and lovely Lake Drummond with its beautiful-bottle cypress trees growing right out of the water.

A well-to-do home can use $1,000 per year for this purpose, according to the household research bureau of Iowa. III. "Soaps and polishes cost the average family $7.05 a year," says the bureau. "Brushes, aprons, bedding bathroom investment, hot water shaving costs, dental and facial cleansing creams add to the total. It costs $10 a year to own and operate a vacuum cleaner. Annual cost of the average electrical iron is $8.25. Average yearly cost of owning a good washing machine is $10. Electric power for it costs only 3 cents a week for which all the family's clothes and JOE GISH FREE AIR SERVICE IT'S FUNNY HOW PATIENT A MAN CAN BE WITH A PRETTY GIRL - IF HE ISN'T MARRIED TO HER. ```markdown ``` Near Elizabeth City and on through Edenton, the first capital of North Carolina, you cross probably a dozen different arms of Albemarle Sound. At Edenton the New Chowan Bridge spans the Chowan River, one and a half miles in length. At Washington N.C., which the oldest residents claim as the original Washington and should be the capital of the Nation, and at New Bern where you cross an arm of the Neue River you are in contact with the battle of the life-threatening War. You follow South to Wellington. From Wellington you continue on Federal Highway No. 17 inland by way of Florence to Charleston. From Charleston you go on South on the Coast Highway to Savannah. Brunswick, and Jacksonville, gateway to Florida, where paved roads branch away in all directions. Some go to the flourishing cities of the West Coast, others to the orange groves of the Midland section and still others down the East Coast of Florida. From Jacksonville you can drive the 306 miles to Miami in a day over a broad level paved highway with remarkably few intersections outside of the towns. Seven miles before reaching Miami turn to the left and come down in front of the city and along the Bay by Biscayne Boulevard—Those who wish to keep so close to the sea as possible can turn at St. Augustine, 41 miles South of Jacksonville, across the Mantanas Brine, and follow the Boulevard past St. Augustine, famed speed course, into Daytona and thence South past West Palm Beach You can even drive on the famous racing beach for 21 miles. From Miami you can go across the Florida Keys and ocean passes to Key West, a spectacular 176 mile journey, including an automobile ride of 40 miles. I have seen leaping tarpion right from the bridges of this road. Automobiles can be taken on the steamers between Key West and Havana for $30 round trip and there is no duty on tourists cars into Cuba. The Great Cuban Central Highway, 700 miles long is now open for 70% of its length and will be open for 450 miles by next summer. linens may be swished clean to a perspellate tub.

Oh! but just wait a minute, “the Edward-Thomas fight.” I certain. ly will never forgive myself fox missing this bout, From what 1 was told about this bout it seemed that the Tiger met his match. 1 know this boy Edwards and I know he is no “slouch”; therefore, I know he put up a good fight. The fight was so good that the public de- manded a return bout. Thomas failed to show up at the appointed time, but the public was not dis- appointed. Edwards was met by Sedreck, and although the referee pronounced it a draw, I have my doubt. I was once asked to name a real fighter, and I said Jaxck MeVey was a real fighter, and it was con- tended that Tiger Thomas was a real fighter. I only laughed, be- cause I knew that evidently | very few people here knew anyihing about this racket.

Picott In a bang-up game of the old circular leather the Phi Beta Sig- ma Fraternity quintet passed, drib- bled and shot to a 31-20 final score over the Kappa AlphaPsi Freter- nity five here last night at John. son’s auditorium, But nof yet—for here’s the big story: This game was a_ blood struggle, fought by both Kappa and Sigma for every tick of the clock in the two twenty-minute periods. It was a topnotcher which pro- duced for the excited spectators a thrill a minute. Rousing cheers were the order of the day as both big squads thump. ed out upon the polished .surface, on which later nimble and. dainty ect were to keep time to tle mel- low strains of the music. It 'twas then we noted Ellis Sigmas togged in the modernistic design of black and white, and the “elongated” Smitty's “Kappa, Alpha Phis bedecked in the bright red. The contest was marked by ex- cellent guarding of both teams. From the initial tip-off, follow- ing the Referee Jenkins’ opening whistle, the Sigmas led for the first few minutes of the contest, piling up a score of 8 points before Kappa got started. Then “Smit- ty” and his Kappa boys _com- menced. Successive shots by Smith, Webb and Thomas put the official scorer to work’ a bit and lined up the count to § all, ‘Then things drifted along so far as scoring was concerned, but not for the floor-work. It was a strug- gle, with the ball being circulated successively from one end of the marked area to the other. How- ever, the Sigmas were able to eke ought eight more points, bringing their total to, sixteen by the end of first period, while the Kappas chalked up 3 ‘more. Score: half, Sigma, 16; Keppa, 11. The second half followed with both teams still prancing in_ bril- liant form, the Sigma having the advantage. Harry Williams, former Union star, was the high point man of the,” affair, “Sleek” ~ Ellis and “Maxie” Robinson also played a stellar game for Sigma. “Tom Lightner” Thomas, Webb and the mighty Smitty himself held up well for Kappa. In the preliminaries Kellar, Light- foot and Yancey did some work for the Scrollers, while Taylor and Pasteur hook off in bang-up form for the Crescents.

Farina has a little At Home With I By RUBY BERKLEY GOODWIN. THE house was a medium-sized stucco of vivid yellow, surrounded by giant bushes of Austrian holly whose green formed a pleasing contrast to the color of the house. A velvet green lace spread out on all sides of the bungalow and upon two children played. The boy was little Farina, Hal Roach's "Our Gang." The girl was his sister who is sometimes employed at the same studio. They were dressed simply in little blue coverall play-suits. Both spoke a shy friendly greeting as I came up to walk and then scampered around to the back door and entered the house, for when the door opened, admit me there they were smiling confidentially at from behind their mother. THE house was a medium-sized stucco of vivid yellow, surrounded by giant bushes of Australian holly whose green formed a pleasing contrast to the color of the house. A velvet green lawn spread out on all sides of the bungalow and upon it two children played. The boy was little Farina, of Hal Roach's "Our Gang." The girl was his sister, who is sometimes employed at the same studio. They were dressed simply in little blue coverall play-suits. Both spoke a shy friendly greeting as I came up the walk and then scampered around to the back door and entered the house, for when the door opened to admit me there they were smiling confidentially at me from behind their mother. Farina's mother is a small brown woman. The Hoskins family comes from Boston and they still talk with an unmistakable Eastern accent, that is, all except Farina, for living all his life in California his speech is that of a native. His words are correct and properly placed but they lack that overdone properness that is found in his mother's speech. To all the world the little eight-year-old star is Farina, but to his mother he is "Sonny Boy." "When Allen, which by the way is Farina's real name, was a little tot, he had the sweetest disposition of any child I had ever seen, or at least," she smiled, "I thought so. He would play for hours and he was always smiling. He brought so much joy and sunshine into our home that we could think of no name so appropriate as Sonny Boy for him. And Sonny Boy he has always been to us." I learned from the mother that the name "Farina" had been given to him by a title writer from the studios. The name, because it had a feminine ending, is partly responsible for the widely circulated story that Farina is a girl. I say partly responsible, for other factors just as potent helped the rumor along. Farina's debut into movie-land is really stranger than fiction. When Farina was just a baby, Sunshine Sammy was at the zenith of his film career. Mr. Morrison, Sammy's father, had been sent out by the studio to find a little colored boy about eighteen months old, with long hair, to play sister to Sammy in a picture. Mr. Morrison hunted all day and was just about to give up the search when he remembered that he had to stop by the grocers for some provisions for dinner. The good-natured groceryman noted Mr. Morrison's dejected look and asked what the trouble was. Mr. Morrison told him of his unrewarded search for a colored boy with long hair. "Why I know just the little fellow you want," the groceryman informed him. While he was yet speaking, the door opened and in walked Mama Hoskins and her little Sonny Boy. Now, at home, there had been many an argument about cutting Sonny Boy's hair. Papa Hoskins argued that long hair made him look like a girl; Mama Hoskins said that he looked too cute to have his hair cut. So, much to the dismay of Papa Hoskins. Here is an intimate story of one of the highest-salaried youngsters in the country. Many people have thought Farina was a girl—as the story beginning on this page discloses—however Farina is a boy, and a real "rough" one at that. He likes to play and romp, and still thinks in terms of scooters and tricycles. He is in every way a modest youngster, entirely undisturbed by his fame and the fat salary that very few adults earn. Sonny Boy's hair grew and grew, and today it is still growing, for the public will not have Farina without his hair. Since Farina was eighteen months old, he has been in pictures, sometimes in dresses, sometimes in trousers. To one half the world he is a girl, to the other half, a boy. But his mother told me in strictest confidence that he is a boy, and we usually suppose that at least the mother should know. The last and most convincing reason why Farina is often thought to be a girl was brought out when "Our Gang" made an eastern tour. Many an enterprising parent has passed a fake Farina off on an unsuspecting public. As the Gang went from town to town, Mrs. Hoskins was surprised to hear on all sides, "Oh, I saw Farina when he was here last year." "But my son has never been East before," she would demonstrate. At another city a lady seated near her said: "You would never think that Farina was a girl would you?" as Farina appeared on the stage. "But he isn't. Farina is a boy," Mama Hoskins informed her. "I beg to differ from you," the lady answered politely, "but two years ago when Farina and her mother were here, they stopped with me and I KNOW that she is a girl." "But I am Farina's mother." But I am Farina's mother. "The lady looked at me rather hard and I know she thought that I was not telling the truth, though she was too polite to say so. So the facts that Farina made his screen debut playing little girl parts, coupled with little girls going about the country making personal appearances, gave the public good reason to think of him as such." I now turned my attention to the juvenile star who had sat quietly by his mother during our conversation. "Did you have a fine time on your tour, Farina? I asked to break the ice. "Did I? I should say I did." He found me an appreciative listener so he continued: "We went everwhere. We met lots of mayors from different towns, we went to all the big parks, we went on a big yacht and we even went up in an airplane." "My, but that must have been exciting." "It was," he agreed. We had become fast friends by this time. Farina had left his mother and was now standing beside me. "Isn't it lots of fun to work in pictures?" "Well, it used to be," he said soberly, "but we're making talkies now and you have to be so quiet. We used to play on the set when we didn't have to work, but now (Continued on page two) ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1, 1930 At Home with Farina of Our Gang Fame How To Be Beautiful By GERALDINE FOX Authority on Beauty Culture 2 (Continued from Page One) you can't make a sound 'cause whatever you say comes out and it'll ruin the picture." I didn't know how technically correct Farina's explanation was but I did know that he understood perfectly that absolute quiet was necessary in filming sound pictures. Of all the pictures Farina has made he likes "Dog Heaven" best. "I like all kinds of animals but I like dogs best, don't you?" "Yes, Farina," I answered, "next to people and flowers I like dogs best. Have you a dog?" "No." he admitted. He looked rather disappointed then brightened up and said. "but I have a pet guinea pig." "What is his name?" I asked. "Oh, he hasn't any." Then a burst of imagination seized Farina. "I know; let's call him 'Nameless.' Yes that's a good name, Nameless. You know I wish I could keep Pete with me."

Farina had forsaken Nameless and gone back to his first love. Farina is one of the most natural children I know. He has not been spoiled by overfond parents. He is not impressed with his importance in the Hoskins home. He is just a normal eight-year-old boy. He is always neatly dressed but never overdressed. I turned from him and addressed his mother. Farina had no wish to listen longer to older people's conversation so he politely interrupted our conversation and asked whether he and his sister might go out of doors to play. "I'm glad I met you," he smiled and held out his hand. "I guess sister and I will skip along." As I was leaving the Hoskins home the two waved as they bid me goodbye. "Come back again sometime," Farina invited. As I walked down the street, I remembered Harold Lloyd's comment upon Farina. He says: "Farina is not only one of our smallest, but one of our most natural motion picture actors." AIR-IMPORTANT TO HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Very few of my readers, I am sure, have a real idea of just how important air is to the general health of the body. Pure air is just as important as pure foods. Without pure air you cannot be healthy and the more pure air you get the more chance you have to build up a healthy condition. This is true because pure air feeds the body just as vegetables that are fresh or meat that is clean gives another kind of food to the human system. It is a startling fact that very few homes are sufficiently ventilated. You can go into hundreds of them and find all of the windows down, especially in the winter time. Some of them are tacked down, and I have been in many a home where the least possible chance of getting air through cracks around the window had been overcome by pasting paper over those cracks. Such a thing of course, quite naturally made the house almost entirely air-proof, and though the occupants had not the slightest idea it was the case, they were giving themselves the shortest possible road to sickness. In fact, they were going out and asking old man sickness to come right in and live with them, and were making the road just as easy as possible for him. In such homes you will find pneumonia, scarlet fever, measles and almost every other disease and those tightly pasted windows are in nine cases out of ten the direct explanation. They shut out the curative air that would have given the occupants of that nome a chance to fight off disease as it started. One or two of my readers have asked me about the benefits or the danger of night air and there is only one thing to say here. Night air is just the same as day air. It is made up of exactly the same things and though in some climates it is damper or may be colder than the day air, this is the only difference. It is not dangerous, and it is just as essential as the day air can be. It is impure air that is dangerous. Air that comes off of swamps, air that comes from around factories where there are dangerous On Page 11 A TRUE STORY Taken from REAL LIFE SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW Do you think it is woman who devours mos. on the candy that comes into the home?

He is being reared to be a natural child. There is nothing superficial in the Hoskins home and Farina does not think of himself as a great little actor, he still thinks in terms of scooters and tricycles and he is never happier than when playing with his sister, who is known to the movie world as, little Mango acids or poisons working through the atmosphere. In such places the air is not pure but that is what is dangerous. It isn't the night air. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Geraldine Fox has answered hundreds of letters on health and beauty.

PART II The next day was Thursday, the night of the full moon, and a cloudless sky, promised a glorious evening. Edna, up slightly earlier than usual, opened the window of her little kitchen and looked toward Henderson. Far away, faintly, a column of black smoke rose from the stack of its cotton mill. The fresh morning breeze tingled her blood as she hungrily filled her lungs with long deep draughts. Today was Thanksgiving, but she wondered, as she watched the last of the ambering leaves drift featherlike before the breeze, if she would be thankful for the events of the day when it had passed. Ralph Bauknight and his sister were coming over from Henderson today for dinner, David had asked them himself, but she had a strangely clear premonition that something would go wrong. Ralph and David had been very good friends in college, but they had been at the same time, rivals for her affections. David had won, but Ralph had never ceased to care, which fact stood preeminently out among those which forecasted evil. David had won because she had loved him, because in his then, picturesque personality, she had seemed to realize the fulfillment of a dream. When he had turned to Theology, she had thought it would make little or no difference; could he not still be her lovable David, her enshrined idol, even if he were a preacher? She felt a wave of contending, conflicting emotions, as she closed the window and turned to her task of preparing breakfast. With all her heart, she wished it would rain. She longed to be allowed to spend the day alone with David; longed to understand him and his ideas of life. But morning soon gave way to midday, and afternoon cam on, hazy and blue and chilly. Ralph and his sister, Marion, came, and Edna thought she felt something sink within her, as he held her hand at the door. And his sister, Marion, what a smartly dressed chap! Tho' she would not, most probably have admitted it, Edna began anew to envy the freeness with which they played the game of life, the masterful, authoritative and seemingly accustomed mien, which characterized their every action. They were good friends, the Johnsons and Bauknights, and Edna had been as one of the latter family, before her marriage, but as they sat at dinner today, it seemed to Fdna that they lived in different worlds. The gay dinners, and glorious dances of which Ralph talked so freely, seemed bits of fiction to her now. Why, oh why had David invited them, she asked herself; why had he brought these beings from the world in which she longed to be once more, to tempt her? Once while Marion lead the conversation, she had a chance to compare the two men: David, her love, her husband—and again she assured herself that she did love David—with his rather quiet, satisfied, controlled expression; well, but reservedly dressed, and yes, handsome, for David was handsome, handsomeness accentuated by the even tone of his winning personality; and Ralph, egotistic, confident Ralph, dressed to the minute, well groomed. As she compared them, hers was an anguish known only by those who have stood on the uncertain ground between love, as an admiration of an ideal, and the glamorous domain of the unconventional—free ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1, 1930 THE KISS "I'll never be content, nor will I allow you to be until you let me teach you how to really live life in its fulness—every dreg." This Handsome, Bronze-Colored He-Man Will be Introduced to you Next Week in the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION dom of action, youth, passion—life. What is this thing, love, anyway, she pondered, does it really exist as I think, or is it merely an illusion, a mirage, a will-o'-the-wisp? She had thought, and still believed that she loved David, and that he loved her but why was that love not strong and aggressive enough to make her feel secure and satisfied? Was it that David had really changed, or was it due entirely to the fact that he trod cloistered ways, ways not of her world? She felt somewhat faint, but the end of the dinner came opportunely to her rescue. They would move into the parlor now, she thought, and she would have a few moments alone while she removed the dishes; but not so, for she had scarcely warmed to her task, when David rushed into the dining room to announce his temporary absence, "The building committee has sent for me, Ed, dear," he told her, "an unexpected meeting, and Marion is going to be kind enough to drive me over," he added as he pulled on his gloves. Alone with Ralph, just what she had fried to avoid! ! In a moment after David and Marion left he was standing in the doorway of the kitchen; he stepped toward her with his arms extended; "Edna—Edna," there was a pleading tone in his voice, "Edna,—I—you know I love you, I always—" "No, no, Ralph," she broke in, "you mustn't talk to me like that. I don't love you, I love David, I love David, Ralph, and I've told you that over and over again." He leaned against the door as if for support, "I know, I know," he went on, "you've made that plain enough, but I still love you and—" Again she cut in, for she knew only to well what he would have said: "Please Ralph, please," she pleaded, "please go on back into the parlor, please." For an answer he crushed her in his arms, and kissed her again and again, burning, passionate lingering kisses. Finally he held her at arm's length, his breast heaving, "You know Edna," he panted, "I'll never be content, nor will I allow you to be, until you let me teach you how to really live, life in its fullness,—every dreg." She was crying almost aloud now. "Wil- you-go-now?" she sobbed, trying to regain her equanimity, "Will you please go"? "Yes, I'll go, Edna darling, but will you promise to come over to Henderson next week to the dance —please Edna, just one night,— David will be gone to the, convention you know, you could stay with your mother, she wants you to have some pleasure like other girls your age, please Edna, come, you know you want to—come back again and live, to the devil with conventions, and what people think, come back and live." "Oh Ralph I—I—" He did not wait for the rest of her answer, but stalked off to the parlor. It was not long before David and Marion returned, chatting friendly, and the afternoon resumed its cheerful trend for everyone but Edna, who somehow managed to present a smiling front. Soon they left, just as the first grim shadows of evening lengthened themselves on the leaf-carpeted lawn. The parsonage door closed and another night began. Sleep long evaded Edna, as it had done many times before; she kept hearing Ralph in his temperamental, confident tone, saying: to the devil 3 The Story of a Minister's Wife Who Believed in a Single Standard with conventions and then David's calm, sober words: barbed and charged and bloody—so be careful. So the night, with its moonlit witcheries watched in silence, while God bathed the foliage of His footstool in cleansing dew, a nightly token of His lingering love, and the world slept. * * * Ralph Bauknight parked his smart sedan in front of his office on one of Henderson's leading streets, and looked admiringly up at the triple windows on which his name was engraved. He smiled rather egotistically as his eyes caught sight of the gilded lettering: W. RALPH BAUKNIGHT - DENTAL SURGEON. He had wanted to be a dentist—he was. He had wanted to be a popular society leader—he was. His folks had nicely seen to it that he had what he wanted—everything but Edna. "If I can only get her out of that darned parsonage once more," he told himself, as he climbed the stairs. "I'll be able to talk to her, as I've wanted to for some time—I wonder if she has nerve enough to come over tonight as I asked her?" His anxiety was short-lived, for as he entered, his maid called his attention to a blue envelope placed uprightly on his desk. He read: "Ralph, I am in Henderson, but I'd rather not go to the dance—you see Ralph, David doesn't like dancing, and he's sure to find out if I go. I certainly would like to go though." It was signed—Edna. So she was in Henderson, she HAD come, he almost shouted aloud as he tore up her note, she had come to him. What a flimsy excuse, he thought, her note, she knows she wants to go. So eight o'clock found him parking his sedan in front of the McMaster cottage on Oak avenue. The night was rather cold, and the wind blew slightly, but not a cloud marred the diademed glory of the skies. A light burned in the parlor, and as Ralph walked, light as air, along the white gravel walkway, he thought of the many times he had gone there, only to find David enjoying a "previous" engagement—but not so tonight. Mrs. McMaster answered his knock: "Hello, Mr. Bauknight, come right in, I was just telling Edna I thought you'd come." Edna came in from the adjoining room, and Ralph thought he had never seen her look so irresistibly beautiful. She wore a charming gown of chiffon-velvet, from which her shoulders rose superbly. "Hello Ralph," she said, as she moved gracefully to where he stood, "Didn't you get my note?" "Yes, Edna darling, but you know you want to go, you know you do, Why you've even dressed." She did not answer him, she knew she had lost. The last thread of resistance to the mysterious lure of life had snapped. She did not love Ralph, but she craved a few more days of life in his world, a world which David had forsaken. As she stepped, warmly wrapped, into the comfortable luxury of Ralph's heated sedan, she remembered again, David's cold words, "barbed and charged and bloody—so be careful." Maybe so, she thought, but tonight at least, she was going to see it from Ralph's angle—to the devil with conventions. The auditorium of the Elks' Rest was a thing of beauty this night; shaded red and blue lights mingled their softness with the multi-colored evening gowns to produce a seductively entrancing effect. Ambering leaves from autumn's easel, lined the walls, while ferns and potted plants of every description.

Like the snap of a band, long un- der strain, Edna swung into the spirit of the night, answered the call of life. Again and again, until the last waltz, she was surprised by her ease of movement after so-long from the floor. So it was a de- cidedly different woman who rode along Oak Avenue, with Ralph Bauknight, long after midnight; a woman determined to leave the cloistered ways of convention’s stronghold, to follow the lure of the glamorous. “Please, Edna,” Bauknight plead- ed, as they parked in front of her mother’s home, “pleas: just one kiss, as a perfect ending to the most. wonderful night I have even known ~—Edna darling, I'll always want you, can’t you see—you were made for me and my world, instead of—.” He kissed her passionately, once— again, and despite her inclination to, she could not resist. When she finally. freed herself from his stormy passion, and watched him ‘ride! away, the waning moon hung low in the misty west, and somewhere nearby, @ restless sparrow, twittered of the dawning. & events Spring always returns early to Carolina, lest she miss one per- fumed breath of the jonquils, one shy blush of the violets. So this Jate March day knew a comfortable warmth, beneath a serenely blue sky. Dr. Johnson sat in his office, in his spacious new parsonage, and looked out om Cedar Springs. He, scarcely noticed the huge buildings; which studded the growing skyline; for the inevitable hand of industry, had metamorphosed Cedar Springs from a growing, hustling little town, into a prosperous, wealthy city, a textile and business center of the South. And if the hand of indus- try had been busy, so had the rest- Jess hand of time, busy weaving a tapestry from the fragile threads of some lives. Two letters lay open before him on the square oak desk, one beneath each hand. The first one is written on his own stationery, in_a well trained, flowing hand. With aching heart he recalls his wander- ing gaze. to look upon it for per- haps the ten thousandth time; for seven dreary years have passed since he first found it on his desk. lt is only a note. His eyes follow the lines, but he does not read, for only too well does he know every word. He repeats them to him- self: pe “Dear David: I guéss you will call ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1, 1930 me yellow, a quitter, a sneak, and maybe I am, but David I simply can’t go on; I want freedom, and I hhave been taking it, and sooner or later you would have been dishon- ored thereby, if I remained; so I'm going away, David. But please re- member that I feel that I love you, but we just weren't meant for each other; believe me, when I say that no man is more dear.—Edna.” The other is longer, but his eyes see only the last few words: “And if you wil! allow me, I will return” —Edna. * Here he was interrupted by the sound of @ voice which he realized became eack day, more and more essential to his life—Marie, Marie was bringing in the morning’s mail: “Lots and lots of mail this morn- ing, Doctor.” “Yes?” he answered, “More work for you then.” . “And for you, too.” + | As she left the room, with a few more kind words, he thought of her and of himself. Kind, thoughtful, understanding Marie; what would the years of Edna’s absence have meaht, had it not been for her! Truly enough she was only his sec- retary, but she was a perfect type of the office wife, always knowing ‘what was needed most for his com- fort, always seeking to lighten his burden. Sacrificing, and asking nothing in return, nothing save the rather meagre salary the church paid her as his secretary, But had she not unconsciously evoked a kind of reward? For sometime he won- dered—“Oh yes, I love her,” he un- consciously murmured, “love her dearly, God help me.” eee Later that day, Marie Carroll, plainly dressed, sat at her desk in 2 well appointed room in the spac- ious, beautiful parsonage, answer- ing the pastor's letters. She always took a kind of prideful pleasure in this part of her work, for she felt it a special honor to be in the pas- tor’s confidence. She felt too, that if fate were kind, he would some day say the words she most wanted to hear, for she had long since ceas- ed denying that she loved him, as she could and would, never love another. She pictured, for a mo- ment, herself rightfully his, to do with as he chose, a counterpart of his illustrious personality, a co- worker, a soother at evening of the day’s merciless wounds—his wife. But the whimsical gods do not al- low a picture perfect, therefore she remembered with a sickening real- ity, that the occupant of her shrine, had, somewhere in the world—a woman known'as his wife. By the code of ‘the conventional law— his wife. “Marie?” He had been watching her from the doorway, and as if he had known her thoughts. he said: Se ee A oe ec oY PIMPLES and BLEMISHES GONE... .

ROGERS hollowed out by himself.and his men from the trees of the primeval forest. He continued into the interior until he came to the territory of Fundi- kara, king of Tabora. The latter, friend of his father, he learnt, had ied, and the throne had been seizéd by another, named Temba. } Temba, on meeting Tippoo Tib, planned to provoke @ quarrel with him, kill him, and take away his goods. But the laws of hospitality demanded that no business should be discussed until the third day after a trader's arrival. In the interim, Tip- poo learnt of the plot, and siding with the followers of Mnyma, the rightful heir, attacked Temba and killed him. “After this adventure he returned to the coast richly laden with ivory, gold, cattle, and slaves. ~His appetite now sharpened, Tip- poo Tib soon after started on a sec- ond expedition, taking with him this time goods valued at $40,000. He had left behind twenty creditors. Getting creditors was no easy matter for traders had been known to remain in the interior, preferring a life of luxury there. Conquers Deceiver . But all did not go well on this trip. Tippoo Tib wandered into territory ravaged by famine, but he turned it to advantage by getting bearers cheaply. Again, many of his porters ran off with his goods, but Tippoo promptly made prisoners of their whole tribe until his property was re- turned. Continuing his journey, he came into the ternary of Nsama, a pow- erful and blood-thirsty king, who had conquered all his neighbors and annexed their lands. Tales of this man's cruelty and power had turned pack all but a few of the traders, but the fearless Tippoo. Tib pushed on. Nsama received him with a great show of hospitality and led him into f large hut where he showed him a great quantity of gold and ivory. But it was an ambush.

After four days of fighting, Tippoo was victorious, and_ seizing Nsama’s kingdom and all his wealth he made himself ruler. Nsama had been regarded as in- vincible, and the victory gave Tippoo immense prestige in the interior. Many weré now eager to court his favor. Not long after he gave up his king- dom and returned to Zanzibar where he was regarded as a great figure. The Sultan entertained him in his palace. Tippoo Was rich. He was then only twenty. ‘ But like most adventurers money passed through his hands as water. Good-natured and generous he gave it away freely, and like a moth drawn ‘by a candle back to the forests he went. 5 | Routed By Disease | ‘This time he took with him goods valued at $80,000, a great sum in those days. The Sultan himself, had of- fered to back him. So great was the ‘confidence in him that among his ‘creditors: was a rich man, named Ta- ‘ria, who had never been known to Jend monéy on such uncertain con- ‘ditions before. As Tippoo Tib, him- ‘self, says in his autobiography: “At. that-time I had not a planta- ‘tion nor a house in Zanzibar, or any- where else in the world.” __On this expedition he also met with some adversity. Many, of his bearers died from disease and he was forced to bury a ase -part of his goods. ‘Coming into the territory of King ‘Mshama, he was also attacked by the Jatter, but again Tippoo Tib was vic- torious. His next adventure was in the king- dom of Ugalia, ruled by Taka. Sev- eral of his men were killed by his side, but after eight days of fighting he defeated Taka, and seized all his wealth. His next big encounter was with Luda, king of Kasembe. Lunda had 20,000 warriors, some of whom were armed with rifles, that had been got from the Portuguese. Tippoo, with his force of Arabs, half-caste Arabs, civilised Negroes, and a_ few white men, armed with rifles, defeated Lun- ia. Setting up another king in his place, Tippoo Tib continued his jour- ney along the Mweru:river until he reached the capital of King Mpueto, where the Congo issues into the lake under the name of the Luapala. Mpueto, hearing of the coming of ie invincible stranger, sent him tri- ute. Surg southward now Tippee Tib continued until he came to the coun- try around Lake Kassala, in the southern part of what is now known as the Belgian Congo.

The black monarch, he says, had prom- ised him 600 bearers but had given him only 400 in order to hinder him. Still the blame of Barttelot’s death must. be placed on Stanley's desire to get a large quantity of ivory to the coast, a reason why he needed so many men.

Handy Still THE MUSICIAN Wm. C. Handy, Jr., son of the famed originator of the "blues," is fast falling into the footsteps of his illustrious father. He is now the general manager of the House of Handy, the home of the "blues" on Broadway. He is an accomplished zylophonist and is often heard over various radio stations. F. M. W. C. Handy, as he appears today. He is now a major publisher affiliated a 1545 Broadway, New York City. His business maintains representation in both London and New Brunswick. L Bessie Smith and Jimmie Mordecal, in "The St. Louis Blues," a new talkie by W. C. Handy, who originated the blues. BE B W. C. Handy, when he was a bandmaster on Beale street, in Memphis, Tenn. In those days, he was busily engaged in creating the "blues," which today have given rise to the "Jazz Age." IN THE YEAR 1873 there were born in the town of Florence, Alabama, two men. One was Oscar DePriest, statesman, lawmaker. The other, William Christopher Handy, composer and musician. Taking their rise in that small town, the two life streams flowed in different channels. Both flowed North: the one to the Capitol at Washington, while New York's Great White Way—Broadway—received the other. Just after the Civil War, Handy's grandfather bought a homestead on the west side of Florence, which is known as "Handy's Hill." His grandfather also built the first Negro church in Florence. His father later became pastor. It was then that young Handy decided on music as a career. To the three R's, conventional in the early eighties, Prof. Wallace, the schoolmaster, added singing, believing William would make a good tenor, yet a greater politician. The father felt that the boy would never amount to much as a professional musician, for musicians then had to play "hoe-downs" and "corn songs." How was the minister to know that scholars would be very anxious one day to understand these despised songs? How was he to know that in every art on the face of the earth, only that is good, only that is great and immortal which has the smell of earth and flesh in it? But let's do Handy's father justice; he saw something in the boy, a power, a sense of leadership, a mind which held realty as in a closed fist, surely little Handy did some things that showed his father a short Clifford McGuinness Reviews the Life of W. C. Handy glimpse of the Handy of today. The minister thought music a waste of time. But the boy was stubborn. If it hadn't been for that boy's obstinacy, America would have had only another politician, as the teacher wished, or another bishop, as the father wished. Instead of being cowed by his father's disapproval, Handy stole the minister's jim-swinger for his stage debut, in a minstrel. They went on a grand tour, but in southern Alabama the manager suddenly vanished and, with him, the treasury. The quartette walked back to Florence, singing for their meals. When they sang, "Take Me Back Home, Let Me See It Once More," their real hunger feeling must have added a tremolo. Birmingham was a city. Bigger bands were there, and more schools to teach in. Handy, arriving there, found that what he could get as a teacher was even less than half of what he could get as a laborer in the pipe works at Bessemer, twelve miles outside. Naturally he became a laborer. Life itself, not academic study alone, taught him many work songs that, using him as a medium, were to achieve a great place in American music. However, the election of Grover Cleveland had a bad effect on labor. Less work and less pay prevailed. Back at Birmingham, Handy came across a quartette in a saloon. With twenty cents in his pockets, he took hold of these four older men, and started out for the World's Fair at Chicago, first announced for 1892. En route, they travelled by freight. At Cullman, a brakeman ordered them off. The quartette began to croon, someone strummed a guitar and Handy muted his cornet. The brakeman relented. Thereafter they rode in the caboose. Before the troubadours reached C'icago, the fair was postponed for a year. So they found themselves in St. Louis instead. Hard times. Hundreds slept on the cobblestones on the levee, Handy among them. He hoboed out of it, to Evansville, Indiana. There he did street-bricking at a dollar fifty a day. He played in the Hampton Band there until he met one, Taylor of Henderson, Kentucky. Taylor took him to Kentucky where he made twelve dollars for one day's work in the Henderson band. Those were golden days all around; his future wife was then a Henderson girl, Henderson, being on the Ohio river, was a steamboat landing and there he learned the levee songs of the roustabouts or stevedores—quite an acquisition. The fourth of August, 1896, saw him in Chicago. The famous Mahara Minstrels wanted him. With them his technical ability came into something like full play. His band played everything from ballads to Beethoven. In Oakland, California. Handy, who, as his musical education progressed, neglected all other music for the sake of the academic and classical, gave a cornet solo, playing Hartman's "Mia." It was a technical feat, but the gallery hissed. The music was foreign. There is no national feeling for the music of composers long since dead, like Beethoven and Palestrina, because none of it was written by Americans. The next night. Handy tried something with a Dixie warmth to it, something not unfamiliar to the the gallery. He played it with a sway of the shoulders and a tap of his foot. magisterial sentiments of W .C.

TANLAC WITHOUT EQUAL FOR STOMACH AND LIVER TROUBLES Hurse Gives Remarkable Endorsement Tanlac may seem miraculous in its action to millions who ended stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as rheumatism, pains in the back, sides, joints and muscles from its use—but the truth is every drop of Tanlac is a strong potent medi- cine while most other remedies are weak and ineffective. Mrs. B. Piccord, a nurse with many years’ experience, is one who ought to know. She says, ‘In 10 years ac- tive nursing have found Tanlas without tun equal as a remedy for stomach and liver troubles, and I can certainly prom- ise people wonderful results in view of my long experience with this medicine. 1 had stomach troubles for years, could eat scarcely anything without suffering, never any appetite, always nervous and run- down, But as soon as I began Tanlac it started to build me right up. All stomach troubles were routed and never any. pain, distress or gases since.

Germany too, acknowledged his pow- er in East Africa by naming an ally of his to be governor of that region. For secretary, Tippoo Tib had a white Belgian, Georges Steleman. Giving up slave-trading and doing his best to suppress it, Tippoo Tib ruled the Congo for several years. But the Arabs and many of the na- tives had opposed the coming of the white man. eel, they revolted un- der Raschid, a nephew of Tippoo Tib, and Rumeliza, his life-long friend. Tippoo Tib’s sympathies were with ‘the Africans, and rather than take part against them he gave up his poe in 1890, and retired to Zanzibar enjoy his immense wealth. He had no sooner left than there was a massacre of the white people: It took Belgium three years to defeat Raschid and Rumeliza. Tippoo Tib died at Zanzibar in 1905, aged 68. Here are what some of those who knew him well had to say about him: Stanley says: “He was a tall, black-bearded man of Negroid aspect in the prime of life, straight and quick in his movements, a picture of energy and strength. He had a fine intelligent face with a nervous twitching of the eyes and gleaming white, perfectly formed teeth. He was attended by a large retinue of young Arabs whom he had led thousands of miles through Afri- ca. “After regarding him for a few minutes I came to the conclusion that this Arab was a remarkable man, the mos: remarkable man I had met among Arabs.” ~ Was Cultured Diplomat | Norden, “Fresh Tracks in the Bel- gian Congo”: | “<Tippoo, Tib,, the son of an, Arab half-breed and a full-blood Negro ‘woman was in 1874, the most _power- ful figure in Central Africa. He had gone into the interior with an army of one hundred and had terrorised the blacks into crowning him king. Nyangwe was headquarters of his em- pire. So matters stood in Central juin A young man from Los Angeles asks @ question. “Dear Mrs. Jerome: “I nave had several quarrels with my best girl lately, and they all started about the same argument.

Africa when Stanley was sent by the New York Herald to find Living- stone.” Haardt and Debreuil: “The mulatto Tippoo Tib, was a powerful sovereign. This adventur- er, who was immensely rich and pos- sessed considerable influence over the blacks, was a strange figure. In his obscure and inaccessible soul he unit- ed generosity and astuteness; hypoc- risy with frankness. Stanley as well as Cameron and Trivier, had to take nim into account and to ask for his aid, which he granted. Thanks to this, they were able to succeed in their rash enterprises.” |G, Eliot, Consul-General at Zanzi- bar, who knew him well says: “His features were of the Negro type and produced at first impression that he was a low-caste hybrid but this impression was dispelled by his polite and dignified manner and his flow of speech.” Alfred Swann, Resident Magistrate, says: “The first and by far the most im- portant was the great Fippoo Tib. Al- though not of pas Arab descent he was the most influential. His acti- vity was astonishing. He possessed a frank, manly character enlivened by humor and he loved to play practical jokes upon his intimate friends. In business there was no beating about the bush; it was always take it or leave it; and in warfare ‘uncondition- al surrender’ was the basis of his terms to all enemies who sued for peace. Was Notorious Slaver “His power was sung around most camp-fires from the East Coast to Stanley Pool on the Congo. His very name was sufficient to strike terror into the hearts of all who were liable to attack.” Speaking of his death, Swann adds: “Tt would have perhaps, been put- ting into practice that justice which I never ceased to hold before him as our standard if, when he died, some of ‘our great gececenlilcet societies in Europe had acknowledged how much they were indebted to Tippoo Tib for allowing explorers to travel where he was in power, collecting valuable (Continued om Page Ten) My girl maintains that women are more constant than men and tries to prove it by saying there | are more faithful wives than there are husbands. I maintain that women are the most faith- less and I base it not upon hear- say and theory but experience. What is your opinion? TOM D.” Well, Tom, you're both right. But the question needs a little untangling as we proceed. I have often heard this same question argued and it has always been my contention that loy- alty in love depends ayon the char- acter of the individual rather than upon his or her sex, and that some men are faithful and some women are faithful, some men unfaithful and some women unfaithful, Now, I think that when the ques- tion is aasen it is usually;esenmed that constancy is something either naturally inherent in the sex or in- nately alien to it. That is, that one sex is born faithful, the other un- faithful. It is true, as your girl Saye, that probably more wives are faith- ful than husbands. That is, techni- cally faithful. ‘The reason for this greater faith- fulness is not greater spirituality, as it usually assumed, it is because a greater number of wives depend upon their husbands for a meal ticket and they have more to lose by an act of faithlessness.

Handy’s business was almost wrecked, Many phonograph companies had failed after giving notes amounting to thousands which banks discounted. Handy, not. only made these notes good, he in addition paid back heavy loans from four colored banks in the South. Music dealers and syndicate stores felt the same national depression. The five and ten cents stores in- dulged in a music war. Woolworth cut out more than six hundred mu- sic counters. As these counters han- dled the firm’s publications, approxi- mately a half million copies of mu- sic were left on Handy’s hands, copies that could not be sold for junk, yet on which large printing bills were due. But the blues had an honest busi- ness man for iather. He sold his beautiful home on 139th Street and paid off many of the debts. In at- tempting to do the work that had been done by a large organization, work in which no Sunday was his ‘own and no hour of the night too late, his health was impaired as well ‘as his sight. Two years he was kept inactive. But even in this period he continued to compose some of his most beautiful works—not ail blues. Business was in a bad nay Life, too. At the end of those two miserable Vee aay staged his grand come- ck. Nobody knows how. He regain- ed his health and his sight, took a band on the road, and returned with money sufficient to liquidate what debts remained. By paying, and pay- ing, and straining every nerve, he was able singlehanced to lift this great burden from his business. "In April, 1927, he and his band ap- peared in support of the worid’s most sensational composer direct from ‘Paris, the young George Antheil, at ‘Carnegie Hall, in a jazz symphony. When Handy, therefore, announced a concert of his own works and oth- ers with his own band of thirty and a large chorus at Carnegie Hall again. the audience numbered not only his old admirers, but new admirers, stu- dents of music; and among both ‘groups were the elite of America and ‘the sophisticates of Europe. | The drama inherent in this man’s struggle, its crown of success, has ‘reached even the proverbially dense Hollywood magnates.

CLOISTERED WAYS By JOSEPH BAKER When April has had her say and departed, May brings her lapful of roses for the crown of the reigning queen. Mysteriously glorious sunrises, and golden, mystic sunsets, all are a part of her store. The first cold, gray shadows of a late May dawn, shaded the broken-bottle window of the parsonage bedroom for a moment, then a flaming sky told of the sun's ap- BLAZED A BEALE STREET form, based on rhythm. Even in a literary sense, the instinct for inner form is obvious. Thus these few lines, simple and beautiful. Any European adaptation, especially when interpreted by the conventional orchestra, departs from the definite form of the blues. The music of the white American composer, psychologically silent, is even further removed from its own original source, the blues. As the "Father of the Blues," Handy made those music laws now obeyed by the best composers of every race. He is a musical DePriest. Somehow it all reminds me of that young woman I met in Harlem. She was a medical student, and happened to belong to the intelligentsia of her race. She no doubt had great respect for spirituals, no greater than have I. She had heard they are a great philosophical, brooding music, an Aframerican invention of polyphony. Indeed they are. But—she did not like Blues. Blues were too ripe with the essentials of quick life and rich rhythms and the broad humanity of masses of people. In the world's music, Blues have an importance for their rhythm and the things their tunes say. Blues have a contemporaneousness, have all these fine qualities that those who are neither mature nor married and who spend their time in the cold S' COUGH IS NGER SIGNAL A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.

I loved David, but we just didn't fit—and again she thought of Marie—what a girl she was, she had been so kind to her—simply because she loved David. Again she shifted her position, for more comfort, and began to re-live the years. Yes they had been filled to the brim with happiness, those first four and a half years; she wondered now, however, if it had been real happiness, or even any kind of happiness at all; anyway it had been what she had wanted. Ralph had followed her against her wishes, and they had sipped the cup together, down to what he had termed the dregs. Dances, dances, parties and more parties, cigarettes, dim lights, liquor—a full realization of her conception of life. And then—she covered her face with her hands, as she thought of Ralph—cold-lifeless, bleeding. All in a flash they came back to her. David's cold words—charged and barbed and bloody—so be careful. David's voice ended this painful remembrance: "Yo, ho, I'm back, and here's some ice cream for you, how do you feel?" "Pretty good. Davy—thanks." Some time elapsed and they went inside, only to have Edna begin again on her story of what life had been. "You might not know it, David," she began, "but Marie is in love with you, and it will be a sin if you don't always be kind to her—she's so worthy." But he would not allow her to talk more. --- (Continued from page nine) I hate to see De ev'nin' sun go down Hate to see De ev'nin' sun go down Cause my baby He done lef dis town. . . TIPPOO TIB (Continued from Page Eight) scientific data. As it was, all I noted was the announcement of the death of 'the notorious slaver.'" "It is thanks to his support," says Le Grande Encyclopedia," that Cameron, in 1874, and Stanley in 1876, and Wissman in 1882, could cross Africa." As to his slave-activities, there can be no sympathy for them, yet it might be noted that he had been reared to regard the slave-trade as right. Benjamin Franklin and Thos. Jefferson, two signers of the Declaration of Independence, both dealt in slaves, the former as a broker, and the latter as seller of his own mulatto children. George Washington, too, owned slaves, and as one of his letters shows, he once gave a ship captain a Negro to be taken to the West Indies, to be exchanged for a cask of rum and other "good old spirits," thus breaking two laws of the present day. After Tippoo Tib had withdrawn from the Congo, the minions of Leopold, as is known, brought in a regime of real horror. Neither history nor romance contains a more stirring figure than that of Tippoo Tib, and when the true history of Eastern and Central Africa comes to be written he will be given credit as being the real pioneer, and not Stanley. Had Tippoo Tib foreseen he could have changed the whole political aspect of Africa also; for, as Dr. Heinrich Brode points out, if he had placed his conquests under the protection of the Sultan of Zanzibar, the European powers could not so easily have claimed them. proach. Edna sat partially up in her bed, supported by the strong arms of her husband: "Let me lay my head against you, David—I need you." He took her into his arms, and told her to go to sleep, and in a moment he felt her relax, as a tired child would upon its mother's breast; tired lids rested over tired eyes, a tired heart which never found real happiness relaxed, then rested—and soon, through the thickness of his shirt, he could feel the chill of her forehead. regions of Kantian philosophy, are too prone to forget.

We used to go to school together. Lived on the same block. Name's Bob Phillips. He won't be a bit of trouble—you'll like him. Straight as a die, that chap." I got this information from my husband between mouthfuls one morning some weeks ago as we sat at the breakfast table. I didn't like the idea of taking in a roomer, but since the rent was so high and we really had the room to spare, there was no use being foolish. As it would take quite a financial load off Jack's shoulders, I made no objection. After all, one must do in Rome what the Romans do, and since most of the friends we had made in New York in the few months we'd been there also took an extra roomer, I thought it would be no harm, especially considering that Bob Phillips was an old friend of Jack's. For years my husband had been a Pullman Porter on the New York Central. We had lived for the first four years of our marriage in Albany. Then a new run had forced us to move to New York. Now, I don't like big cities; I prefer the wider spaces of the countryside, but a wife must stick to her husband. Bob Phillips came that afternoon. I had expected just some ordinary chap but this tall, brown, stately and handsome man, probably in his middle thirties greatly impressed me. He was smartly but not flashily dressed. He had deen, burning eyes, high forehead, a firm chin, a gliding tread and a strong handclasp. He struck me as being a little over-polite as he held my hand over-long and boomed the conventional greeting with a heavy voice. I put him down as a nice fellow despite a little touch of foreboding. "Well, well, well! This certainly is a rare treat, Jack," roared Bob at dinner that evening. "Never thought I'd ever see you again or put my feet under your table. By golly, old chap, it certainly is a treat. Certainly is. Member when we used to play ball down the block and break old Widow Smith's windows? Saaaay! didn't we have a peck o' fun when we were kids?" Jack agreed He was happy as a child and I was glad I had made no objection to Bob's coming. After all, the new roomer appeared to be a gentleman and one with plenty of money. It is good to have such friends. Next morning Jack left on his run to Chicago. "Don't stea. my wife, Bob," he called back jokingly as he went out of the apartment. Bob laughed good-naturedly. "That boy's a hot sketch," he exclaimed. I smiled weakly not liking such jesting. It was nice to have someone of culture and intellect to talk to while Jack was away. I learned from Bob in our many talks during the first week of his stay with us that he had traveled extensively in Europe and South America. He discussed learnedly and easily subjects of which I knew next to nothing. It was quite an education to be in his company. And yet I was glad when Jack would come off his run. I couldn't get over an uneasy feeling about being in the house with Bob. He appeared a perfect gentleman but he was altogether too perfect to be true. I seemed to detect a menacing note under his suavity; a dangerous fire, at times, in his searching eyes. After a whole month had passed, however, mv uneasiness gradually dissipated. Still I wondered why Bob didn't work and yet managed to have money. "Say, Marie," asked Jack one night at the dinner table when Bob had stepped out to the corner for some cigarettes, "any time you want to go to any of these movies or dances and I'm not at home, you can go with Bob. No use sitting home for want of an escort. Bob is a regular fellow and the soul of discretion. I won't mind it at all. I'll be glad to have you do it. You're too young to be sitting at home like an old woman." I didn't like the idea too much. Y'u see I was a little scared of Bob Phillips. I couldn't explain why and I didn't even let Jack know how I felt for fear he'd think me a fool. "I'd rather go out with you my dear." I said, "but if there's anything I especially want to see while you're out of town, I'll have Mr. Phillips take me." Bob Philips took me to the Junior Society ball at the Renaissance Casino. It was a formal affair. We were both in evening clothes and I'll say we made a fine looking couple. Bob's clothes seemed to be moulded around his slender, muscular form. He danced divinely, except for holding me a little too closely, and gave me every attention. Women looked at me with envy. I couldn't help but feel the woman's natural pride. And yet I was careful not to be too natural with this man with the hypnotic eyes. I am so passionate and romantic, that I find it prudent to watch myself. We became more friendly after that. Bob would laugh and joke about his different sweethearts in various parts of the world. I unconsciously became impressed with his manliness and good fellowship. I dropped some ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 1, 1930 Days passed. Days of indiscretion romance. (A scene from "The St. Louis Blues") of my reserve After two months in our home without any outward incidents, I began to trust Bob. I went to cabarets with him two or three times. Then July came and with its coming Bob purchased a very pretty blue roadster. I couldn't imagine where the man got the money because he seemed to have no means Days passed. Days of indiscreet romance. of support. And yet he paid his room rent and board regularly and was frequently inviting me to go out with him. The Fourth of July, Jack had to work. Bob invited me to drive out to the country with him. It was so uncomfortable hot in the city that I gladly acquiesced. By ten we were rolling over the smooth roads that led to cool glades and babbling brooks. I felt at peace with the world and utterly trustful as I rode along beside my husband's chum whom I also regarded as my best and safest gentleman friend. In a shady nook by a placid little pool we spread out our lunch. As a surprise Bob had brought along some real champagne in a box of ice in the back of the car. It was delicious with cold roast chicken and salad. I felt languorous, contented and happy when the royal repast was finished. In an exultant mood I exclaimed "Gee, Bob, I could keep on doing this!" I could have eaten the words a second afterward but it was too late. "You can if you want to," he declared simply. He looked at me with new intensity and I grew rigid under his gaze. He moved closer and took my hand. I was startled. I wanted to escape. "Oh, why did I come?" I cried to myself. He went no further. Soon we were on our way back. Bob never mention- ed the incident during the whole trip. I couldn't help but admire his restraint and yet I was disturbed by what he had said. I felt I should tell Jack, but I didn't. Good old Jack, so earnest, such a hard worker, such a hustler. He might not understand. He might misconstrue. I argued to myself that Bob had meant nothing out of the way. We went out driving again and again. I could not help liking Bob more as time went on. It was such a pleasure to be in his company; to listen to him talk; to dance with him; to sit in the theatre beside him. I began to think about how happy he would make some woman, and then, God help me! I began to think of myself as the woman. I tried desperately to fight back the horrid idea that I was in love with Bob Phillips. I refused for a time to go out anywhere with him, but there he was in the house, gazing at me hypnotically; smiling sardonically. I began going out daily to avoid him. He would invite me to go for a drive or to a show and when I refused he would express no regret and show no anger or disappointment. A Finally I recovered from my panic and accepted his invitation to go driving one hot August afternoon He drove out to the same shady nook where we had picnicked before. The scene awoke memories. As we sat smoking and sipping champagne with our backs against a great oak tree, I felt again the hypnotie power of the man drawing me, drawing me, drawing me to him, with love pushing me along. I had stood the strain of resistance so long that my nerves were frayed. In a swift glance characteristic of him, Bob must have read my mind. His strong arm gently encircled my waist and drew me close to him and before I could remonstrate he was kissing me passionately. I was a whirl of conflicting emotions. My body tingled and chilled alternately. My loyalty to Jack, our home, our marriage forced me to attempt to get away from Bob's embrace but my infatuation for this handsome brown man weakened my efforts. "Oh, Bob," I cried, "please don't let us spoil our friendship. Save me, Bob from myself for Jack's sake. Oh, we mustn't." He held me closer and I felt his hot breath on my cheek. A thought that it was so cozy in his strong arms caused my face to blush with shame and guilt. I looked up to find his eyes gazing in'o mine, --- "You belong to me, Marie," he muttered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "I've love you since I first laid eyes on you. I wanted to see if my love was returned. I can see in your eyes that it is . . . Come go away with me, sweet. Just think how happy we shall be traveling about, seeing the fine places of the world. That's the life you were cut out for. Won't you come with me? Oh, Marie, I love you so. Answer me! Don't you love me?" I was overcome by emotion. I could only nod assent. Right that moment I would have gone anywhere with Bob Phillips. I had gone stark crazy over the man. I considered myself wonderingly. After what appeared to be years, I said, "We can't do it, Bob. We just can't do it. We can't double-cross Jack that way. He's too good, too kind. It wouldn't be fair." His lips curled. "So you still love him," he sneered. "I knew you weren't game. Do you think I can be turned away so easily? Well you've got another think coming. You're going with me, you understand." Then his voice broke again: "Oh, Marie, I love you so. All of these months I've tried to (A scene from "The St. Louis Blues") be loyal to Jack. I've kept my fingers off you when they itched to stroke your beautiful brown skin. Darling, please come with me." "Where?" I breathed. "Oh, anywhere," he replied. "I've got money enough for both of us to live or. for the next ten years. Come on and ditch this fellow. He's only a Pullman porter and chances are he always will be. You don't belong with a fellow like that. He's just a poor sap who'll keep you in the washtub all of your days . . . You haven't any children, Marie. why do you hesita??" He was earnest insistent, threatening, soothing, persuasive. He cressed me boldly and expertly. I was as putty in his hands. We came home happy and bright-eyed. My loyalty to Jack now was seemingly negligible. I had forgotten everything in this strange fascination. Still, I hesitated. Something kept telling me to wait, to take my time. Bob kept urging me to go. Several days passed. Days of indiscreet romance. I enjoyed Bob's company more and more but somehow or other I couldn't pull myself from Jack. The longer I thought of it when I was alone, the more I began to feel that there was something fine in Jack's character that was absent in Bob's. Still, I had gone too far now to retrace my steps. My lover, my --- 11 True Story from Real Life husband's chum, kept pressing me to go off with him.. If I were loyal to Jack I knew I would always be infatuated with Bob and sorry that I did not go with him, and if I went with Bob, I knew I would always be remorseful over my disloyalty to my husband. What SHOULD I do? Oh, it's all well enough for those of you who read this to say with finality what I ought to have done, but it is pretty hard to put yourself in another person's place and judge fairly. All the beautiful pleasures I had dreamed about since childhood, Bob had given me in the months we had known each other. Jack had given me his love but very little else. Bob had the means to enable us to live in ease while Jack seldom made more than $150 a month. Jack was just an ordinary fellow but Bob was a real lover. I agreed to leave on Labor Day. I had put it off as long as possible. Our position was no longer tenable. Bob was becoming irritable; I couldn't bear facing the unsuspecting Jack any longer. The night before Labor Day, Bob took me to the Paradox Club, a swell cabaret. We danced and drank and enjoyed ourselves until well past midnight. Bob spent money like water. I wondered where he got it all. He had always been tight-lipped on that subject. Sometimes I felt a little apprehension about it. One hears so many things in a big city like New York. At one o'clock as we rose to go, two stocky and determined white men pushed through the crowd to our table. One of them reached out to touch Bob on the shoulder. "We want to talk to you, Kid," he announced in a steely voice. Quick as a shot, Bob's fist sped to the man's jaw and he dropped like a log. Bob dashed through the crowd, hatless to the street, the other man behind him waving aside the crowd with his revolver. It happened so quickly I could hardly believe my eyes. Almost fainting but suddenly energized by apprehension, I followed the crowd to the street. At the curb stood Bob Phillips in the grip of two brawny policemen, his collar torn, his face bleeding. The sight sickened me. I rushed to him blindly, thoughtlessly as he was being hustled into a taxicab. "Go home, Marie!" he commanded over his shoulder. "Don't you get mixed up in this." How I got home I don't know, but I did. Somehow or other I mechanically negotiated the two flights of stairs and reached home. For fear of scandal, I was afraid to telephone the police station. What had Bob done? Why were they arresting him? Would he get cut of it? These thoughts rocketed through my brain as I law across my bed. By morning I had drawn myself together. Jack came in excitedly at noon. "Who'd ever thought of Old Bob Phillips being mixed up in a big burglary?" he exploded. "And to think that we had him in our house! Nice chap but I thought there was something funny about him not working and yet living on 'easy street.' They say he's got about fifteen years coming to him, sure." I tried to display the proper interest without being suspiciously emotional. Yet inside I was sick and weak with it all, I had a feeling of thankfulness, however, that I had escaped. What MIGHT have happened appalled me. Suddenly it dawned upon me with a great burst of light what it meant to be married to an honest man making an honest living. I saw in a brief moment all of Jack's solid virtues. He was poor. yes, but he was giving me everything he could. He was loyal, which was more than Bob and I had been, and he had so much faith in my loyalty and discretion that had never for a moment suspected anything between his chum and me. Fool! that I had permitted myself to be blinded to his true worth. Jack seemed surprised when, weeping bitterly, I flung myself into his arms. That happened three months ago. Jack and I are living on as before. The back room is unrented because neither of us want any more roomers even if they ARE old friends. I have learned my lesson and am, the soul of discretion, and yet, there are times when I think of Bob Phillips up there in the big stone prison and I have a yearning to see him and to hear his voice once more; to sit once again in that nook in the woods beside the placid pool with his strong arm encircling my waist and his lips meeting mine. And yet I realize now more than ever that I could not be untrue to good, old Jack again. My! what a medley of conflicting emotions we women are sometimes. We are always between the horns of Love's dilemma. We can't get what we want: we don't want what we get. Often we don't know what we want. We're funny that way.
