THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA MAR 8 1936 STATE LIBRARY IS THERE AN ORGANIZED EFFORT TO BAR NEGROES FROM JOBS IN RICHMOND? Persistent Rumors Aver White Committee Seeks To Oust Colored Labor. There are persistent rumors about that there is a well organized movement under way, the purpose of which seems to be to replace many colored workers with white help. Richmond is agog over these reports, which have gained wide credence. The plan is reported to work in this wise: Members of this committee approach employers of colored labor and suggest or demand that white labor be used in place of the colored then and there employed. Argument is then presented to show that the Negroes appear to make more progress than the average white worker and therefore needs less employment. That he shows great signs of prosperity and is moving white people out of their homes by purchasing them. All of this is tommyrot, but is being used with some effect. Some of the incidents cited are pathetic if true. The Planet is interested to know if there is any foundation in fact concerning this effort and is making an investigation of the same. Any person with information on the subject will please communicate with our investigator in care of The Planet. Augustus Grist, Jr., Cleveland's favorite barbone, WTAM and WHK radio artist, triumphed in recital February 27, at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and Community Center, Miles Mark, minister, Huntington, West Virginia. Mr. Grist appeared under the auspices of the choir, Miss Gladys Johnson, directress. The program which was enthusiastically received is as follows DEACON WILLIAM CHILES PASSES Deacon William A. Chiles, of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, died at his residence, 821 North First Street, Monday night, March 3rd, after an illness of four days. Deacon Chiles was a venerable character in Richmond's religious life and had been a deacon for more than forty years. He resided with his wife, rMs. Cora S. Chiles, on North First Street, and aided his son, James H. Chiles, in conducting his store on the corner of Prentiss and Leigh Streets. He was a great favorite with the students of Armstrong High School. The funeral was held at Fifth Street Baptist Church Friday evening, with the pastor, Rev. C. C. Scott, officiating, assisted by Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia, Pa. The subject of Rev. W. B. Ball Sunday, 11:15 A. M., at the Goodwill Baptist Church, 410 North Monroe Street, is "The Devil is the Cause of It." At 8:15 P. M., "Lost Opportunities." Special music will be rendered. The public is invited. The church welcomes strangers and offers an opportunity for the development of talents. . SECOND STREET GETS NEW. LIGHTS Those passing down Second Street these nights are elated over the new illumination just installed under the direction of Director George H. Whitfield of the Department of Public Utilities. Second Street is our main business thoroughfare and the new feature adds much to its convenience. The unceasing activity of Mr. O. H. Funsten, of the firm of Elam and Funsten, was one of the main contributing factors in securing this biprovement. It will be remembered that Mr. Funsten was also instrumental in securing the traffic light at Second and Leigh Streets. REV. DALY CALLED Norge Va March 1 Norge, va., march I. This is to certify that the Rev. Albert D. Daly, of Richmond, Va. has been elected pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church of James City county, Va. He is the fourth pastor within sixty years. The first pastor, the Rev. Z. Taylor Whitbush, served the above name church the second pastor. Rev. C. D. Ellis, of Smithfield, served eighteen months. The third. Rev. R. A. Dias, served three years and eight months. We have had good success and are praying for better under the leadership of such an able minister as the Rev. A. D. Daly and officers of Shiloh Baptist Church of James City county. DAVIS PROMOTED TO ARMY, COLONEL Washington, D. C. (CNS)—The promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Oliver Davis to Colonel of Cavalry, recommended by President Hoover on the basis of seniority, was confirmed by the Senate Tuesday, February 25. Colonel Davis, the only colored officer in the combatant units of the regular army since the retirement of Col. John F. Green on November 15 last, is the first colored officer to reach the rank of colonel on the active list. While Colonel Charles Young reached the rank of Colonel in 1917, he was immediately retired for disability. DR. REDMON WINS SECOND HIGH COURT VICTORY Jackson, Miss. (CNS)—Dr. S. D. Redmond, attorney at law, chairman of the Mississippi Republican State Executive Committee, won a second supreme court victory when that body reversed his fine of $100 and 30 days in jail, and remanded a contempt of court citation to the Hinds County chancery court. Judge J. G. McGowen in reversing the decision held that the judgment of conviction against Dr. Redmond did not contain material facts of the charge. The opinion presented to the court written by Judge McGowen said: "Only recites that the court finds that Redmond is guilty of contempt. When or how is entirely left to conjecture and speculation." In the opinion, it was recited that the trial judge had a telephone message delivered to Redmond to appear in court at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to file an answer to a charge of disbarment, and that a paper was filed in which Redmond is alleged to have said that the "Judge was unfair and impartial and was prompted by political bias and prejudice because Redmond was a Negro." The Supreme Court recently reversed a disbarment order issued against Dr. Redmond by the Hinds County chancery court, upholding all four of the specifications presented in his appeal. "HOLY" WOMAN KILLS ALLEGED RIVAL Los Angeles, Calif. (CNS) — There will be no more marriages between Filipinos and whites in Los Angeles County, unless the higher court reverses the opinion of Judge J. A. Smith, who ruled Monday that Filipinos were of the yellow or Mongolian race. Judge Smith, Monday granted a writ of prohibition against L. E. Lampton, county clerk, forbidding the issuance of a marriage license to-Tony V. Moreno, 24, Filipino, and Ruby Robinson, 22, white, and ruling that the Filipino is of the yellow or Mongolian race. “There are only three races of people,” the court said, “These are the white, the yellow and the black. I hold that a Filipino is of the yellow or Mongolian race.” His ruling was in direct contradiction of a decision by the county consul in 1921, which held that a Filipino is of neither the yellow nor the black race, and it comes as a shock to many of the younger Filipinos in this country who brag of their treatment as the equals of white Americans. One Jose De Jesus writing of his impressions of America recently described racial prejudice in the United States and took great pride in pointing out the superior treatment of his countrymen at the hands of white Americans. He wrote: "Americans treat the Chinese and Japanese, with hate. They also look with 'despise' upon the Jews and other Europeans and Asiatics who have become American citizens. They abhor Negroes and look upon them as the people of the lowest karat in the world. Filipinos are branded equal to Americans." BEN DAVIS CLEARED OF CONTEMPT CHARGE Atlanta Ga. (CNS)—Ben J. Davis, former republican committeeman for Georgia, was cleared of contempt charges when a petition asking that he and several other prominent local Elks be held in contempt of court for alleged violation of a court order issued in connection with litigation over the officers of the Gate City Lodge No. 54 of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, was dismissed Wednesday by Judge Virlyn B. Moore, of Fulton superior court. "HOLY" WOMAN ALLEGED (Staff Correspondent) (Staunton, Virginia) Mrs. Clara Vaughan Coleman, formerly of Charlottesville, but more recently of Craigsville, is held in the county jail for the murder of Mrs. Bessie Hollis Gray. The murder occurred last Thursday afternoon at Craigsville in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Goodall. The tragedy is alleged to have been caused by jealousy of Mrs. Coleman, who accused Mrs. Gray of allowing her husband to loiter at her home while her husband was at work. The victim was shot with a 38 calibre. Colts. Mrs. Coleman is said to be a holy and sanctified preacher. The Colemans had only been in Craigsville about three weeks and were making their home with Mr. and Mrs. John Goodall. It is said that they said that the spirit had directed them to come to Craigsville. The victim was before her marriage Miss Hattie Hollis, of Augusta Springs. Her father formerly conducted a grocery store at this place. She was reputed to be a very handsome, brown-skin woman. Neither of the families have any children of their own. Mr. Coleman had three children by a former wife and also an adopted child. The Grays had an adopted child. Mrs. Coleman was reared in Waynesboro and lived quite a bit of --- Fifth Street Baptist Church Installs Pastor C. C. Scott. M. Two thousand persons packed Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday morning to witness the installation of Dr. C. C. Scott as pastor of the church and hear the installation sermon by the great Dr. Wesley P. Graham, of Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. Graham pastored Fifth Street for nearly two decades, before beginning his present pastorate at Holy Trinity nineteen years ago. He is one of the greatest and best known clergymen in America and has been selected to preach the jubilee sermon at Chicago when the National Baptists will hold their golden anniversary. His theme was, "Preach Christ" and hedlam broke loose as he unfolded the mysteries of the Gospel. There were many conversions and accessions under the power of his mighty effort. At night he told his reason for knowink he was going to Heaven, to another large congregation. At the afternoon service, Dr. A.W. Brown and Sixth Mount Zion held forth in a great service, industring Dr. Scott into office as pastor. Dr. Scott has proven instantaneously popular and it is freely predicated that he will give Fifth Street and Richmond a great service because of his long and successful experience to conduct and his affability. The program for the two weeks service is found on page three. her life in this city. It is said that before she became a "holy" she was a member of a Baptist church. The murdered woman's funeral was held last Sunday from Aenon Baptist Church, Rev. A. L. Brent, the pastor, officiating. The funeral attracted one of the largest crowds the church has ever held, people from Waynesboro, Staunton, Lexington, Goshen and other surrounding towns. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Craigsville. Whether a special term of the Augusta county grand jury will be called, or whether the accused will be held until the regular term, cannot be learned. Mr. Coleman took the small children of his to Charlottesville. He stated that he would leave them with a sister of his. Mr. Gray, the husband of the victim, was also in the city Monday, reported to be consulting with the Commonwealth. No preliminary was held as it was stated that the accused made no effort to deny the tragedy or escape. Some believe that the woman was unbalanced over religion and possibly lost complete control of herself in committing such a rash act. It is reported that she begged the woman whom she had shot not to die, and declared that no murderer could enter into the kingdom of God. Elizabeth, N. C. (CNS)—Robert Jams proved himself a hero here Saturday night when he entered a burning building building and dragged to safety a trapped and helpless man, an act which was characterized by Fire Chief J. B. Flora as the act of greatest bravery which had come to his notice during his connection with the department. George Stevenson had turned over a lamp and the flames spread rapidly, cutting hint off from the door. Seeing the flames James broke out a side window and called the man but he appeared to be in a befuddled condition and instead of coming to the window moved toward the room where the flames were raging. James crawled in the window and as he did so saw a sheet of flame burst through the door and enveloped the upper part of Stevenson's body. Stevenson staggered back and fell across a bed and James dragged him to the window and with the help of a neighbor lifted him through to safety. FULTON NOTES The congregation of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, with their several friends, had a grand time last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. C. A. Cobbs, delivered the message in the morning and administered the Lord's supper in the afternoon. There was a large gathering in the Sunday school, presided over by Deacon John Robinson. The usual program was rendered before closing. Solos by Deacon Charles Terrell and John Robinson. Mrs. Rebecca Fleming taught the T. E. L. Bible class. She is the assistant teacher and a splendid one at that. The class elected its officers, which will be installed some time in the future. There will be a sacred concert tomorrow at 3:30 P. M. under the auspices of the Intermediate male class, Mr. Reuben Alexander, teacher. The services at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Sunday were very inspiring. The pastor, Rev. O. B. Simms, B. Th., was feeling good and he delivered a sermon which was very logical and full of inspiration. The spirit of God seemed to fill the house. Come out and get in line with the revival that begins sometime this month. SOUTH RICHMOND NOTES If you want to enjoy yourself in wishing the Lord, come to Union Baptist and hear Dr. Garland, who is an excellent minister of the gospel. Live music by the choir. A deacon board who is always ready to welcome you at all times. The other churches are getting along nicely. MINISTERS CONFERENCE ENDORSE THE PLANET'S ANTI-NUMBERS CRUSADE The Baptist Minister's Conference of Richmond and Vicinity unanimously endorsed the action of The Planet in its exposure of the Clearing House Number gamble and its ramifications among the upper classes of our people here. The ministers were loud in their disfavor of any such plan that tends to degenerate the citizens of the community. One young Miss implored our investigator to stop his expose because she did not want the white people to know that so many professional men, who at first criticized our step, have since changed front and admitted the gravity of the situation. It seems that the game is now in the wane and will soon be placed on the shelf alongside of the dodo bird and other extinct species and schemes, such as the Ponzi bubble and the castles in Spain. Waging War Against Whiskey. Leigh Street Methodist Episcopal Church is conducting a public mass meeting Sunday 3:30 P. M., as a part of the week's campaign against alcoholic liquors. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Secretary Board of Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church and famed throughout the work as a prohibitionist, will have charge of the service and speak. Dr. Beets Pickett and Dr. Arthur Howard of the same board will make addresses. Judge J. Hoge Ricks of the Juvenile Court will also speak on the effects of alcohol upon the young Negro boys and girls of the city as seen by his court. The church is making efforts to secure the services of Dan Duling of the purity squad to appear on the program. The public is invited to the service. POLITICAL NEWS AND GOSSIP Haitian Sub-Committee Washington, D. C., March 3. (CNS)—Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, refused to comment upon the announcement of his selection by Dr. Robert R. Moton as a member of the "separate" committee to investigate educational conditions in Haiti at the request of President Hoover. Dr. Johnson claimed that he had not been officially notified of his appointment to the unofficial com- mittee to visit Haiti in the interest of education. He would not state whether or not he will accept the membership on the committee when he is officially notified of his selec- tion. In addition to Dr. Moton and Dr. Johnson, the members of the committee are: Professor Leo M. Favrot, white, secretary to the General Education Board, who has been state super- visor of rural schools for Negroes in Louisiana. Professor Benjamin B. Hubert, president of the Georgia State Industrial College. Dr. W. T. B. Williams, dean of Tuskegee Institute and field agent of the Jeanes and Slater funds. The committee will be accompanied by a staff of clerical assistants, including Professor Alphonse Hening burg of the department of romance languages at Tuskegee, who will act as official interpreter and aide to the committee. No date for sailing has been an- No date for sailing has been announced. OUR SKIPWITH The great international preacher pastor, singer and evangelist, Rev W. H. Skipwith, D.

SMITH, Secretary. President. OSCAR E. BUTLER SUCCESSFULLY HEADS VETERANS That "Old Stripe Organization," known officially as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, is an organization composed of only those who have seen service in some foreign country in the defense of the Stars and Stripes. Mr. O. E. Butler first conceived the idea to mould the local veterans into an organization, and following this idea he called a few ex-service men together and there came into being the Bernard Gibbs Post, No. 1490, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Like most organizations during their first years of existence, there was a hard struggle, and often on meeting nights no one was present but Butler. However, he continued in the faith, and after about a year he had five or six true followers. Having convinced themselves that such an organization was good, this [Name] Com. O. E. Butler "corporal's guard" set out to convince others, and now as the fourth year dawns Mr. Butler finds his post well organized, with a true and tried set of officers and a membership of nearly one hundred veterans. Some of these veterans have seen service in nearly all parts of the world, from the blistering tropics of South America to the frozen wastes of northern Russia and the pleasant isles of the seas. The officers assisting Com. Butler are: Wm. H. Milton, senior vice commander; Walter Page, junior vice commander; S. J. Stokes, adjutant; Frank James, quartermaster; George M. Jackson, chaplain; B. F. Bunn, officer of the day; Thomas Lecoss, post advocate, and Dr. D. Webster Davis, Jr., post surgeon. Mr. Butler's outstanding ability as an organizer has been recognized by both national and state officers of the veterans, and have won for him the position of deputy inspector of the Department of Virginia, which comes with it the supervision of all the colored posts in Virginia. A drive for an increased membership will be immediately launched. Liberal sick and death benefits are attractive features offered in addition to that comradeship known only to war veterans.

How to Play BRIDGE Series 1929-30 by Wynne Ferguson Author of "PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE" Hearts — A, Q, 6, 3 Clubs — Q, 3, 2 Diamonds — none Spades — K, 9, 8, 7, 5, 3 In one of our preceding articles, a very interesting hand was given that was played at an Auction Bridge Tournament at Chicago and the statement was made that none of the experts made game on this hand. In the analysis given, a number of ways of playing the hand were considered, some of which scored game and some of which did not. Hearts — 8 Clubs — 10, 8, 5 Diamonds — A, K, Q, J Spades — J, 6, 4 No score, first game. Z dealt and bid one spade. A bid one no trump, Y bid two spades and B bid three diamonds. Z bid three spades. A bid four diamonds. Y bid four spades. B and Z passed. A doubled, all passed and A opened the king of diamonds. How should Z plan the play of the hands? Solution: "I believe the hand can make four and game by the declarer trumping the first diamond lead and then leading a small club. If second hand passes, play the nine clubs in the dummy, the trick being taken by the king in the fourth hand. (It makes no difference if second hand takes with the ace). Presume the fourth hand then leads a diamond which is trumped by declarer, who makes another small club lead which is taken by the ace in the second hand. Then a third diamond lead which is trumped again. Declarer then leads a trump which trick is won in the dummy by the ten spot. Dummy then leads the jack of hearts and the ten of hearts which is trumped by the second hand. Presume this hand to then lead the fourth diamond which is led by declarer who then leads the king of spades, overtakes in the dummy, exhausts trumps, and plays hearts and finally the good queen of clubs. Defense has three tricks, two clubs and one trumped heart. How about it?" One of the interesting phases of Auction that appeals to most players is a comparison of one's own game with that of players of other sections or countries. A tournament has just been conducted in England in which the following hands were submitted for competition. Figure out the correct bid in each instance and compare your results with the analyses are the words of the Judges in the English competition that will be given in the tournament. Such comparison should be made to the dealer and the other table as follows: Y : A D : Z : L Y I L, A B oil in rubber game, L Lide, "Two Spades," and A N Y Say "No Bill," what should B holding Spades, 3, 6, 8, 10, A, 10, 9, Diamonds, A, K, C, D, A, K, O, I, 4 Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale By Mary Graham Bonner COPYRIGHT OF HOLSTOCK MEDIA LTD TWO SMALL PINES overlooking a big garden which in the summer was filled with flowers, stood two enormous pines opposite each other. On a tiny hill, overlooking a big white house and a garden which in the summer was filled with flowers, stood two enormous pines opposite each other. One was called Grandfather Pine Tree and the other Grandmother Pine Tree. From their hill they saw so many things happening. They watched the garden being planted every spring. They saw the flowers coming up. First one group of flowers would One was called Grandfather Pine Tree and the other Grandmother Pine Tree. From their hill they saw so many things happening.

Stood Two Enor appear and then mouse Pines. another. And that was the way it went along all the summer. Different flowers seemed to have their different times, and each time seemed lovelier than the last, as though the flowers tried to say: "We know beautiful posies have gone before us, but we want to be loved, oh we do, we do indeed." And then they would smile and turn their lovely heads up to the sun, and he would shine down lovingly upon them and they would become so beautiful, so very beautiful. All this the pine trees had seen, and in the springtime they always saw the blossoms on the pear trees, the wild cherry trees, and the apple trees. Later on they would see thy fruits appearing, and how the robins loved the wild cherry trees. Such feasts as were given then! Such chirping and singing and merry-making in birdland! Then they would see the trees have bigger leaves, and still later on they would see these leaves painted by Mr. Jack Frost and the Autumn Paint Club. ARTICLE No. 5 It has remained for one of our correspondents in San Francisco to figure out a solution that seems to have no defense. This solution is so ingenious and interesting that the handwritten note to the author tells us it is now up to the readers to analyze this solution and see if there is any defense; Hearts — K, 7, 5, 4 Clubs — K, 7, 6, 4 Diamonds — 9, 8, 5, 3, 2 Spades — none love an injury. the bidding was: Z, "One Heart"; A, "Two Clubs"; Y and B, "No Bid"; Z, "Two Diamonds"; and A, "No Bid", what should Y say, holding Spades, J, 6, 4; Hearts, Q, 7; Diamonds, 8; Clubs, A, K, 10, 8, 4, 3? 8.

Oh, such colors as they would become! How Grandfather and Grandmother Pine Tree did love to see him. Now the leaves had fallen from the trees some time before and they had gone this way and that, and the children had had bonfires, and splendid blazes. There had been laughing and singing and jumping, and the cold air had given the children rosy cheeks as they played. All these things the pine trees saw each year, and then they had seen the snow come, and the garden below had been covered by a great blanket of snow. The green lawn was no longer green—it, too, was quite white. And the white house and the white snow all around it looked so very lovely, the pine trees thought. This year more pine trees had been planted, because people realized that the pine trees were green all the year, and that they did not change. Two little pine trees were planted between the two big ones. A Great Blanket of Snow. "We seem so tiny," said the little pine trees. "Will we ever grow up to be as tall as you are?" And they tried to lift up their heads and see the tops of the big pines, but it was almost impossible. "Listen," whispered Grandfather Pine Tree. "you will surely grow to be tall, so do not get discouraged. And you will see what happens all through the year. "You will see all the excitements that follow each other—the flowers coming out, then the leaves turning color, then the snow covering the ground." And the little pine trees looked forward, oh, so very much to a beautiful long life standing on the hillside. A Tongue Twister A bitter, biting bittern bit a better brother bittern. Music.....

Dairy Waste Utilized The possibilities of the use of the wastes of the dairy were realized only a few years ago, but it has now developed into an extensive industry. Casein is now used in many cases as substitutes for horn, ivory, ebony, pearl, amber and tortoise shells. Many of the staples and novelty articles, such as beads, buckles, buttons, combs, cigarette holders, cuff links, dominoes, dice, toilet articles, fountain pen barrels, penholders, pipe stems, etc., now contain casein products. Wide Pronunciation Choice There are 19 ways of pronouncing the name of Miami, if a record kept by George B. Joyner, Pathfinder Magazine reader at Whitney, Fla., is to beelled upon. From bits of conversation overheard at recent tourists' gatherings in Florida's mecca, Mr. Joyner lists the following: "Mi-amer, My-er-muh, Mi-armour My-alm-ah, My-am-1, May-hammer, Myammy, Me-ammer, M-ammer, Meammer, My-ammer, My-am-ah, My-am-ah, Me-ammy, May-yammy and "jammy." ```markdown ``` Operas Groves' Dictionary of Music gives the following information concerning the difference between certain types of opera: Comic opera—a term used discriminately to denote a musico-dramatic work of an amusing nature. It is not the English equivalent to the French opera-conique, for that term includes works into which seriousness and even tragedy may enter; the type is rather the opera bouffe. Light opera is a term often employed for works in which sentiment counts for more than high spirits, although the latter is not necessarily absent. Grand opera is an opera with continuous music and of a serious nature. National Forests Popular Several million every year take advantage of the recreational facilities offered by the national forests. This phase of the administration of the forests is being developed by the forest service in accord with the policy of making these properties of the people serve them to the best advantage. Through trails and roads the forests are made accessible, says the Forestry Almanac. Within them there are many lakes and brooks, admirable for fishing and camping. Game is found in comparative abundance and streams are stocked with fish. Only a Dozen Bananas Robert made his first week-end trip alone to visit his aunt in a nearby town.

THAT HAITIAN —<OM = MISSION AGAIN which, I confess, has considerable sentimental weight. But we should not be disappointed of surprised that such sentimental reasons av not outweigh in Mx. Hoover's mind, heavier international and economic considerations. When we consider the momentous issues involved in the Monroe Doctrine and the new adjustment. of spheres of influence of the greater and weaker powers in the family of nations, it will be seen that the Haitian Commis- sion is scarcely second in impor- tance to the London Naval Confer- ence. 1 asked Mr. Hoover, to appoint Negro on the Farm Board because its deliberations had to do with issues which vitally touch the life of three-fourths of the race. I was anxiously concerned in the ap- pointment of a colored man on the Crime Commission because his presence and participation would Tfelt, react favorably upon the conduct of the race. In my humble judgment Mr. Hoover has flagrantly overlooked recognition of the Negro in the distribution of public office. Our political leaders should use all of the political compulsion and power of persuasion they possess to force him to accord proper racial recog- nition, I further agree that failure in the present instance might prop- erly be utilized as a point of sa. lutory protest. But let us not confuse a judicious protest with a fundamental principle. Whs should the Negro claim any exclu sively proprietorship in any par ticular public office? This but argues the inferiority complex. The Recorder of Deeds should no more be considered a Negro’s position ‘than the Recorder of Wills. Tam: many Hall makes a Negro Civil Service Commissioner. We mus break new ground or keep forevei in a racial rut. Why limit om claims to jim-crow jobs? The educational commission out lined by President Hoover shows “the bent of his mind and the slan of his sympathy. Dr. Moton wa: not designated to head this commis sion simply because he is colore but because he is deemed the nios ‘competent expert in. educational “adaptation to the needs of a peas- ant people. This commission has been competently completed by. the “inclusion of practical educational loxperts in the French language. 'The name of Dr. Mordecai John- “son, President of Howard Univer: ‘sity, will carry with it the higher “educational idea which is essential to complete the program. His “sound intelligence and wide range Sof sympathy will enable him to join “hands with the peasant in the sugar field and the minister in the cabi- Ynet and to appreciate the place an¢ funtion of both the new order for nwhich the report of this commis sion will pave the way. KNOW YOUR PUBLIC SCHOOL By Kelly Miller My ent release on the Haitian Commission has provoked several sharp, and even abusive replies. It is always easier to cuss than to dis- cuss. There is. one outstanding reason why a Negro should have been placed on that commission, and that is, the Negroes wanted it so. With them it is largely a mat- ter of political patronage and race recognition rather than special ser- vice to the government. I believe and openly advocate that Mr. Hoo- ver should accord to the Negro Political patronage and group recog: nition. I do not accept the doc- trine according to Hoover that the very best man should always be sought out for every position. On the other hand, I believe that places under the government should e allotted on the distributive prin- ciple, with due recognition of merit and ‘efficiency. On these grounds, T very much desired to see a color- ed man sent on the Haitian Com- mission. I wrote a letter to the New York Herald-Tribune strongly setting forth this view. My per- Sonal choice was Dr, Emmett J. Scott. There are, of course, any number of colored men who’ have the requisite intelligence and_men- tal acumen to servve the govern- ment efficiently in home of ee service but a_ commission should he composed, of experts, It is not a training school of those who may have the capacity and the desire to learn. It is too obvious that no available colored man has had the international and colonial experi ence of Forbes or Fletcher, or the intimate knowledge ot the Frenct Janguage and Catholic religion o! the other members of the Commis. sion, nor yet the political eminence and’ pournalistic renown of th eminent Kansan. ‘The color of the Haitians is but an incident in our occupation anc supervision over that unhappy, re public. Disorder is now breaking ‘out in Santo Domingo. Recently we intervened in the internal contro of the Eastern half o fthe Haitiar Jsland. We may have to do x again. No colored man ever dream ed of asking for participation i the pacification of this Negroi republic. The only difference be tween the two ends of the island | that the Haitians are tinged with little deeper hue. Our interver tion in Cuba, Santo Mingo, Hai and Nicaragua is based upon ov obligations under the Monroe do. trine, the protection of the Panam Canal, and to safeguard the inves' ments of our nationals in thes countries. The Negro as a rac has no particular interest in th Monroe Doctrine or the Panam Canal; nor has any Negro on dollar invested in Haiti or an other South American country. Th only assertive interest which Negro has in Haiti is based upc the accidental identity of colo Buchanan School, at the corner of Buchanan and Jay Streets is suc- cessor to the old Valley School, of Sainted memory.

The history of California began with—and fot more than half a century was the history of—these missions, of their founding and operations. About A century ago, however, they began to decline’ In power and influence, but they are still regarded with reverence by the Californians, as a part of the history of their state and of Its foun- dation, Some of these missions are now In ruins, but others are in good repair, and still open for service, Unchrella Held Danser ‘The earliest English writer to men- tion umbrellas regarded them with suspicion, In the Seventeenth cen- tury a British traveler, having re turned from Ituly, wrote: “fn hot regions, to avold the beames of the sunne in some places (as In Italy) they carry umbrels, or things like a little canopy, over thelr heads: but @ learned physician told me that the use of them was dangerous, be- cause they gatlier the heate into ® pyramidal point, and thence cast It down perpendicntarly upon the head, except they know how to carry them.” —Detrolt, News.

Some idea of the dimensions planned for the new 40,000 gross ton Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain, now under construction on the Clyde, can be gained from the fact that three standard gauge trains could run abreast through each of her streamline funnels, at the same time leaving sufficient clearance for a hypothetical trespasser. Architects are equipping the Empress of Britain with three funnels, and in streamline these they depend largely from standard British marine practice, sandbubbers, as a rule, are not aware that the third stack is often added merely to balance the appearance of the ship and that it serves only as a ventilator and engine-room hatch through which bulky machinery could be lowered into the ship. Today, with the increasing demand for more speed, the third funnel has a utilitarian as well as an artistic function. * Time was when the size of a funnel was indicated by remarking that a train could be driven through it. Each of the Empress of Britain's funnels has a long diameter of 35 feet. The train can be seen well as ample clearance for three standard coaches measuring 9 feet 10½ inches each in width. By WILLIAM SMITH The Empress of Britain will ply between Quebec and Cherbourg and Southampton and is expected to make the transatlantic crossing in slightly under five days. It will be the historic St. Lawrence route. Because the Atlantic is Magazine Page narrower between Quebec and Europe than it is between other North Atlantic ports and the Continent, the Emirates are the most important blue ribbon of the Atlantic being capable of developing a speed in excess of 26 knots.

Stampleman, vice-president of S.C. Safety Agency Hoe is co. "Occasionally there is a sporadic outbreak of whisker growing," the bulletin states, "but the rule among college men is to shave clean. "One of the reasons for this is that the whiskers that the young men of the Naughty Nineties" sported with such success among the belies and co-eds of the period fail utterly to register with the modern girl. The college boy today who doesn't spend five minutes in front of his mirror before he rushes to his first lecture, lathering his face, stopping his safety razor blade to it a keener edge, and cut out the hair.

There are approximately 350,000 college students learning how to shave along with the regular university curricula, the bulletin estimates. 100 Meet Mt. Ishbel, Lofty Peak in Canadian Rockies, Named After Ishbel MacDonald, Daughter of Britain's Premier NORTHWEST Vale—Famous old Dishal Swamp Canal, oldest artificial waterway in the United States, and a 170-year-old memorial to the engineering skill of George Washington which has been marking time since its sad days beginning with the Civil War at last again bids fair to enter another golden age. Federal government administration of the mans Canal, which has been built by the United States to accommodate men in Virginia and North Carolina, including Patrick Henry and General Nelson, is now beginning in earnest and "George Washington's Ditch" will become an additional link in the At- CYPRESS ROOTS IN LAKE DRUMMOND, DISMAL SWAMP, NEAR NORFOLK lantic Coastal Waterway System. Not since its opening in 1820, when over its waters for awhile sailed the rich products of the states, has the canal been deemed worthy of more attention than lovers of the picturesque would give it. Evil days betell the canal with the Civil War, when the Albemarle and the Chesapeake Canal elapsed it with greater depth and more direct route. It suffered another blow in the 90's when the government took over the Albemarle and the Chesapeake and eliminated tolls. It was the genius of Washington's engineering which conquered the tangled wilderness of Dismal Swamp and made the canal possible long after it had been envisioned by pre-Revolution leaders. He made a complete survey of the swamp in 1755 when but 21 years old, and years after the Revolution was over purchased Meet Mt. Ishbel, L After Ishbel the great swamp in its entirety and planned its reclamation. This was gradually given up, but the "ditch" was dug by slave labor and the canal became a fact. Government engineers now established in Norfolk have a plan to keep the Canal at a minimum depth of twelve feet, and maintain it as a part of the waterway system of the Atlantic Coast which some day may reach from Maine to Florida in an unbroken link. Physically, then, Disnal Swamp Canal is a part of the waterway from Norfolk, Va., to the Sounds of North Carolina, connecting Deep Creek, a tributary of the Southern branch of the Chesapeake Bay. With Quankt River, N. C., a tributary of Albemarle Sound, N. C. The Canal was constructed at a cost of $1,000,000 the government in 1928 paying an even half million for it. And since the purchase price of the canal was paid out of funds appropriated by the Inland Waterway from Norfolk, Va., to Beaufort Inlet, N. C., the canal is ```markdown ``` a part of the latter waterway, though absolutely remote from it. Dismal Swamp Canal traverses the famous Dismal Swamp with an area of hundreds of square miles filled with wild game, including bears, deer, wild turkeys and other denizens of the forest and marshland. Dismal Swamp, situated only 25 miles from Norfolk, is the mecca for sportmen from all over the United States, who match their wits with the physical handicaps of the tangled depths as well as with the protecting instincts of their prey. The wild beauty of the great wilderness, preserved in all its natural attractions, boasts famous Lake Drummond which punctuates the heart of the brush much like an Anasis. On the shores of this beautiful body of water come the big black bear $^{b}$ drink his fill beside the timid deer. Sportman here find fishing a year round sport. Frequent proposals have been made to make the entire area a great National Park. I WANT! I WANT! CHICK SAYS HE WANTS JOEY WILLIAMS AH-MY PENNY BACK!

Folks, this is Chick Britt, a Richmond youngster who has won a great reputation for himself. He is a clever little fighter, and his manager thinks that he will some day rank along side the "old master." Chick weighs 126 lbs., and has an effective punch, iron nerve and the never die endurance power. I have said more than once that colored fighters do not get sufficient publicity to place them in line for the big money. One reason for this is their managers are CHARLOTTESVILLE FLASHLIGHT On last Saturday evening Dr. J. A. Jackson, with Joseph Carter, Henry Mayo and Ernest Preston, left here en route for Richmond, where Dr. Jackson was attending the testimonial dinner in honor of Dr. D. A. Ferguson. Nearing Negro Foot, Va., they were struck by a Ford car, resulting in the overturninf of the Packard which Dr. J. A. Jackson was driving, pinning the occupants under the car. Fortunately none was seriously hurt, although Dr. Jackson and Ernest Preston received minor injuries. The driver of the Ford car was badly cut. Dr. Jackson was not able to resume the trip to Richmond due to the car being bogged back to this city. Misses Clark and Hutchinson, of Staunton, Va., and Messrs.

They seem to be getting better and Three Four Club The cream in the social cup this week was the card party and dance given at the Masonic Temple last Friday night, with Mesdames Bettig Slaughter and Lennie Washington as hostesses, Mrs. J. E. Barboun received, the guest prize and also Mr. William Jackson. The club prize was won by Mrs. Eva Preston. The hostesses were up to the minute in seeing that everyone had a good time. Another Whoopee Party Mr. and Mrs. J. Jackson opened generally white, who are not interested in the welfare of the men they represent, since they are only in the game for the finance they are going to get out of the fights. These managers are always ready to sell to the highest bidder. If some of our boys would line up with a good colored manager, who knows how to place them in the limelight, I think they would be far better off in the long run. I am not saying these things just to hear myself talk, but because I want to see another colored man wear the championship crown before I pass out.

When the chilly winds blow, there is no place like home. Say F. H., what is your retiring hour? Listen, R. M., who was the young man in the sharp attire at the Three Four Club last Friday? We wonder why D. T. wasn't at the birthday dinner a few Sundays ago. The cat was there. Say, R. P., we see you on the avenue so much! Don't you ever go home? Say A. B., how did you spend your birthday? How was the trip to Richmond last Sunday, G. G.? Has any one noticed “Pickles” knickens? Wonder why W. J. W. thinks his crow is the whitest? this game has proven to me that our fighters are handicapped nine times out of ten on account of having white managers who will sidetrack any colored fighter he happens to be managing to give way to a white fighter that is not half as good as the colored boy. I hope the time will soon come when our people will learn to recognize the ability of their own people. I am expecting great things from this youngster, Britt, and I hope a hint to the wise is sufficient. Follow me each week and learn more about colored athletes. J. E. B.

Lyons, 316 N. Central, The Palace Auditorium, owned by Dr. O. W. Marshall, colored dentist of this city, was practically destroyed by fire last Saturday morning between 3 and 4 o'clock. The alarm was turned in at 2:50 by William-Dixon, who lives somewhere in the vicinity of the fire. Mr. Dixon was awaken by the crackling of timbers burning. The fire department promptly responded, and after several connections the fire was under control by 4 o'clock. Three lines of hose played on the building. The auditorium, which is known all over the Valley, was located on the corner of Baptist Street and, Sunnyside. The building stood on the site of the old Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and it is said that much of the lumber of the old church was used in the construction of the building destroyed. The building was valued at $6,500 and was amply insured, the reported amount being $4,000. The auditorium was used mostly for dances and basketball games, and the fire in all probability will cause all the local teams to cancel the remainder of their home games.

It has been stated by the owner in the local white paper that the hall will be rebuilt at an early date. No specifications were announced as to size, but it is thought that the hall if rebuilt will in all probability be larger, with more space for basketball games, which have become the paying propositions in this city. This is the second fire that the owner of this hall has had in the past three years. Three years ago a building belonging to him in Covington was burnt to the ground. The rebuilding of the "Palace" will no doubt call for reproof construction, as the building code of the city is very definite on the matter of public places of assembly.

EXELENTO MEDICINE CO. Atlanta, Ga, ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 8, 1930 | Rod was from Golden Arrow Montana, in which rugged country n such smart affairs were held. Befort coming to Chicago with the idea o: entering the University in the fall he had never even worn a tuxedo. He had remonstrated with his law- yer friend, Martin Thomrson, that he wasn’t interested in attending an} dancing parties, but the latter hac been insistent. “Oh come along, Rod,” the young lawy.: haa urged. “If you are going to school here you might as well get used co parties and dances. You can’t be a hermit, you know. Just wait till you see Lyla Durant. Boy, she's @ little queen if there ever was one!” “But - don’t want to meet a lot of people,” Rod had protested nerv- cusi “They frighten me.” Martin regarded his friend with pity. “Boy, where the devil have you been since I left Golden Arrow? I thought you had been two years at Montana U. If you have, you sure don’t act like you've had any contact. Don’t be a quitter. Come on and go.” “I’m no quitter,” Rod had protest- ed. “I'll go to your darn old party even if it kills me.” Martin laughed. “It won't _ kill yo,” he assured him, “You'll have @ swell time.” Sc Rod had hirec himself a tuxedo and accompanied his friend to the Durant party. In spite of his out-of- place feeling, he was glad that he had come, for his glimpse of Lyla had been all anc more than his friend had promised. He tried hard to summon his cour- age high enough to inspire him to push nis way boldly through the throng of admirers which always seemed to surround her when she wast.’t dancing with the tan youth, and ask her tg dance with him. But ‘somehow he could not. Inside the dancing had halted. Out of the throng his friend Martin push- ed his way, and came through the doors to his side. “What's the matter Roddy?” he asked. “I haven’t seen you inside since we arrived. Your hostess is worried about you. She wants you to have a good time, but how can you when you won't even come in? ‘She asked me to find you and bring you to her dead or alive. Let's go!” _ Rod shuffled his feet nervously. “Gosh, Marty,” he expostulated, “I’m plumb sacred. I’m —” |. “Forget it!” the lawyer commanded brusquely, “and come on in!” He took one of Rod’s arms as though he were ging to really drag him inside. “Wait, I'll go peacefully, officer,” Rod tried to joke. Thert as Martin released his arm he followed him do- cilely into the brightly lighted house. As the two made their ways across the glimmering floor many eyes, ‘mostly feminine, were turned in their direction. Rod noticed this and it added to his already great confusion. He could not know that it was his splendidly broad shoulders, and his clear, ruggedly handsome, bronze features which drew the glances. He thought that people were staring be- cause his suit was ill-fitting, so that when his friend unexpectedly halted ‘him before his hostess, he could only mutter unintelligibly. “So you're the bashful young man from the wild west,” Lyla greeted STOP THAT COUGH!

I do everything to make her happy. I buy her present: and invite her to go to dances and on picnics but some- how I don’t seem to ever please her. She is always finding fault with me and believes the very worst things people tell her about me. She never seems to see any of my virtues while I on the other hand always discount anything uncomplimentary which I hear of her. What should I do to make her love me truly and quit acting this way? YOUNG LOVER. If you really want the truth, young man, get sex appeal. Women are usually the only ones ever given such advice but believe me, men need it perhaps even more. It seems to be takc> for granted that men ipso facto have it. They haven’t! You should hear a conversation on the subject at_ some “hen” party. Indeed, men would be generally surprisec if they knew how con- temptuous women are of anaemic men. Note the popularity of hand- some movie stars of the male sex possessing “IT.” And they don’t even have to be handsome for “IT” is more alluring and desirable than the’ best set of features on earth. I've heard many a woman rave over Kid Chocolate and Lon Chaney and it couldn't have been their looks. What is Sex Appeal? It is vitality, virility, personality, energy. How does one achieve it?

Rogers appears exclusively in the Illustrated Feature Section THE BOSS The arrangements to fight Willard were made in close and guarded secrecy. Curley frankly told Johnson during one of their conferences that if Jack lost the fight to Willard that he could return to the United States unmolested. Tormented by the desire to see his mother and his friends, Jack consented. By J. A. ROGERS. You have heard of men who have had to struggle against great odds that life had imposed on them; perhaps, even you yourself might feel that you have a complaint or two in this regard. Maybe you're justified, but have you heard the story of Kafur? Kafur had all the usual handicaps and then others. No one with health and strength need be discouraged after hearing what he had to undergo. First of all he was black— "a deep, shiny black." A black skin, when possessed by a man in parts of the East was an object of contempt; perhaps one had better say, of hate. The cause? It is not necessary to go into it here; suffice it to say that the black woman was admitted into the harem of even the Caliph or Emperor on an equality with the white one, and that her sons, as we shall show another time, even sometimes sat on the throne of the mighty Mohammedan empire. The period of which we are writing is the tenth century: Kafur was born about A.D. 908. The prejudice was against the pure black man; largely; and while there were no segregation laws, it was strong. Another handicap, Kafur was as ugly and as fat as a walrus, and waddled around like one. He had splay feet, fallen arches, and a huge belly, and when he walked on the streets he furnished amusement for the small boys who flocked around him. This is how the most noted poet of that day described Kafur: "A Negro whose lip is half as large as himself, and whom they style the moon of darkness." Almost in the same breath, he is called a "hippopotamus." This poet's name was Al-Muttanabi. We shall hear more of Kafur and Al-Muttanabi. Their encounter was most interesting. To continue the enumeration of Kafur's handicaps: He had been caught wild in the Sudan, and not only was he unable to read or write but he was an entire stranger in Egypt. Egypt, at that time, still had an advanced culture. It was then dominated by white people, descendants of the Greeks, the Ptolemys, and the Romans. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 8, 1930 A The terms of the arrangement provided that upon Jack's wife signalling him that she had received the stipulated sum Jack was to let the fight end in Willard's favor. The signal was given and the plans carried out in the twenty-sixth round. This is the only manner by which Willard could have won. One of the Most Astounding Stories Ever Printed! Complete In This Issue his ugliness and comic appearance served to divert many a dull moment of the pampered beauties. Everyone made fun of him; Kafur took it all good-naturedly. But it was not long before they stopped laughing at him, at least openly. Kafur, by devoting himself to study and to serving the emperor to the best of his ability, was beginning to rise. Then at last Al-Ikhshidi, finding that he could be trusted above all others in the palace, and exceeded everyone in understanding and carrying out his orders, elevated him to the dignity of prime minister. In Egypt, Syria, and other parts of the Egyptian empire, Kafur stood next to the emperor himself. * * * * Be it noted, too, that in Al-Ikhshidi's palace were some very able and intelligent slaves. Among them were Fatik Al-Manjin, surnamed the Great, a Greek by birth, later to become a powerful king; and Yakub Ibn Killis, a Mohammedanised Jew, who himself, later rose to be king of Egypt. In those days slaves included men of learning and even kings taken in battle. Euclid, greatest of all mathematicians, was a slave. It will thus be seen that Kafur had formidable rivals for the emperor's favor. * * * * * After serving as prime minister several years, Kafur at last found the full power in his hands. Al-Ikhshdidi, dying, had left the throne to his eldest son, Abdul Amyur. But he, being a minor, Kafur was named, regent. Kafur now left for Egypt to place the young king on the throne. But no sooner had he departed from Damascus that Sauf Eddaulah, Emir of Aleppo, and great foe of the Ikhshidi dynasty, rose in rebellion and seized Damascus, with the intention of making himself master of the empire. But Kafur, returning with an army, defeated him and forced him to take refuge in Greece. Years later Eddaulah returned with a powerful Greek army and seized Aleppo, but Kafur, again going after him, utterly routed and killed him, then marching into Greece taught the inhabitants there a severe lesson. Other foes of the empire were similarly treated, among them being the black King of Nubia. The Egyptian empire was now stronger than it had been at any time since the days of the Cleopatras. Then Abdul died, and was succeeded by his brother, Ali, who also died not long after. Kafur, who all the time had been the real ruler, now set the heir aside and mounted the throne himself. All the while he had been ruling with such wisdom and kindness that even his enemies began to forget his blackness and his ugliness. Among Surely enough handicaps have been named to suffice for a half a dozen men. But the worst has not yet been told. Kafur was a eunuch. Destined for the harem, he had been taken at an early age and emasculated. His manhood and virility had been removed by the surgeon's knife. Yet, in spite of all, he rose to the heights of splendor—rose until he was absolute master of that white civilization into which he had been dragged like: an ox—rose until proud princes of the royal blood, courtiers, merchant princes, great poets, writers, and even kings fawned on him. Miraculous is the might of the human spirit when it decides to rise in spite of all obstacles. "Slavery and mutilation," says Biographie Universelle, "far from having degraded the soul of Kafur, caused rather to shine forth his genius. . . This man, coming from the lowest depths of degradation had all the virtues of a great king." Baron de Slane, noted translator of Ababian literature, says: "This able statesman was originally a slave employed in the most menial duties and created with the greatest contumely. But the poor Negro eunuch whose prominent belly, splay feet and perforated lower lip had furnished such subjects of laughter for his fellow-slaves had become the master of an empire." (Ibn Khallikan's Biographies.) * * * Having been brought to Egypt, Kafur was sold to a native of Old Cairo, named Ibn Abbas; but the latter, finding himself hard up for money, took him one day to the market and offered him for sale. Nude, ugly, the slave's ring in his lower lip; fat and unshapely as only eunuchs can be, Kafur stood on the block while the passers-by laughed at him. The Prince Al-Mejan, controller of the emperor's household, riding by with his splendid escort, heard the laughter and stopped to look. Then he, too, laughed loud and long. By Allah! that eunuch surely took the grand prize for ugliness. But how could the Prince Al-Mejan ever have guessed that he was laughing at his future emperor? Then a brilliant idea struck the Prince Al-Mejan. What a fine thing it would be to take that ludicrous creature and place him among the beauties in the haram of his master, the Emperor Al-Ikhshidi. Action followed thought. How much? Ibn Abbas, casting his eyes over the splendid apparel and escort of the inquirer, named a high price. In reply the prince tossed him 18 pieces of gold, about a fifth of the sum asked. Ibn Abbas shrugged his shoulders, but needing the money pocketed it. The sum was small, but for Kafur it was a good bargain, he decided. To the harem Kafur went, while ```markdown ``` THE BOXING FIGHT Jack was throughout the encounter, full master of Willard. His golden smile was evident. At times he could not resist the temptation to display the defensive skill that had made his ring craft the greatest of all time. Jack was disheartened when he found that his surrender was in vain. Jack was throughout the encounter, full master of Willard. His golden smile was evident. At times he could not resist the temptation to display the defensive skill that had made his ring craft the greatest of all time. Jack was disheartened when he found that his surrender was in vain. ```markdown ``` those who did not forgive him, however, was Fatik-al-Manjin, the Greek already mentioned. Fatik had been the great favorite in the palace before the coming of Kafur, and had never forgiven him for having supplanted him. He pretended to scorn Kafur, and when Al-Ikhshidi had died he had left the palace. The thought of having to ride in Kafur's train was too much for the haughty Greek. Years later Kafur had him in his power, and could have ordered his execution but the noble-minded black was above petty revenge. --- Kafur was quick to recognize merit and to advance those possessing it. Among those he rewarded was Yakub Ibn Killis, the Jew already mentioned Ibn Khallikan (1211-1282) Arab historian, says in his famous biographies: "His master (Kafur) did not fail to remark his conduct, and admitted him into his privy council. He rose to such heights in Kafur's favor that all the chamberlains and nobles stood up when he entered and showed him the deepest respect. At his death, Yakub left 4,000 slaves white and black." ```markdown ``` Kings, princes, and nobles provelled before Kafur and took great pains not to offend him. The following story is told by Ibn Khallikan. A certain very wealthy noble, named Tabataba, was in the habit of sending gifts of sweetmeats to his friends, Kafur being specially favored. To him Tabataba would send two vases of the choicest delicacies every other day, adding a cake that was folded up in a napkin and carefully sealed. An enemy of the nobleman, hearing about the cake, wrote to Kafur, telling him that while the gift of the sweetmeats was proper, the cake was intended as an insult, being, he alleged, a delicate sarcasm at Kafur's former condition. At last news came to the nobleman of the affair, whereupon, says Ibn Khallikan, "Tabataba saw that some envious person was trying to ruin him and mounting his horse rode off to see Kafur and told him that the cake had been baked by his own daughter as a tribute of purely religious motive and not out of a feeling of pride or haughtiness." "If, however," continued the nobleman. "Your Majesty wishes it discontinued, I shall do so." "By no means." replied Kafur. "from this time forward I shall eat no other." And calling his chamberlain he bade him bring a magnificent necklace, which was sent off by a slave to Tabataba's daughter. By far the most noted flatterer of Kafur was Al-Muttanabl, one of the greatest poets and satirists in all the history of Islam. He sang Kafur's praises in verses of the purest beauty, which are said by critics to be among 3 Text by ROLFE DELLON Drawn by FRED B.

Having discovered that he still would have to go to prison if he returned to America, he and his wife embarked for England. While there Johnson organized a musical review "Seconds Out," in which he played one of the leading speaking parts. The London newspapers reported his acting favorably. the finest in all Arab literature. They are known as the Kafur-iyat. Muttanabi came to Egypt on Kafur's invitation. Fafur loved learning and by rich gifts he attracted great writers, astronomers, mathematicians, and philosophers to his court, until for learning it stood inferior only to that of the Caliph at Bagdad. "He loved the society of learned and virtuous men," says Ibn Khallikan, "and treated them with marked honor." Muttanabi had been the special attraction at the court of King Hamdan of Greece and by presents and the promise of the government of Sidon, Kafur had enticed him away. In those days poets were a very essential part of court life. Their role was to sing the praises of the ruler and their poems, taught to the masses, served the same purpose as the newspaper today. To be Poet Laureate was a great honor, even as it is in England today. But Muttanabi, in addition to being a great poet, was a cynic and a cutting satirist, with little, if any, love for anyone else but himself. Naturally he despised Kafur for his blackness and his previous condition, but tempted by the glittering prize he lavished praises on him. Here are some of Muttanabi's recitations to the court: "Whether I wish or not to praise Kafur, his noble qualities dictate to me and I must write. When a man leaves his family behind and visits Kafur he finds himself at home again." To be hospitable in the East was to possess a virtue of the highest order. * * * * "Praise bestowed on other men is falsehood mixed with truth, but that which thou receivest is pure from alloy. When I obtain proofs of thy friendship I condemn wealth and look on all other men as dust. Were it not for thee I had always been a traveler, every day changing towns and companions. For me thou art the world; to that world I am attached, and were I to leave thee I would return." It is related that Muttanabi said: "When I went into Kafur's presence with the intention of reciting verses he always laughed on seeing me and smiled in my face but when I repeated these lines he listened attentively: "Opinions may differ but not regarding thee. Thou art without a rival and a lion where other kings are mere wolves. Nay, In this comparison if the word, wolves, was not pointed out and the reader took it for, 'flies,' he would make no mistake." This is much more clever than it sounds, for the words, "flies" and "wolves," look so much alike in Arabic: that one can easily be mistaken for the other. Muttanabi's flattery, however, reached its summit in the following passages: (He is describing the horses that bore Kafur to Egypt.) "They went to Kafur and neglected all other men; for, he who seeks the sea despises the rivulets. They bore us to the dark pupil of the eye of the age and left behind them the white and its corners."

Muttanabi des- ignates them as the white and the corners of the eye in which parts the sense of sight does not exist. He also delicately hints that Kafur's color is superior to that of the white. eeee But if Al-Muttanabi was shrewd, Kafur was shrewder. A master of men he easily saw through the poet, and delayed the fulfillment of his promises. At last, Muttanabi, weary of’ waiting, sent Kafur the following lines, thus revealing himself in his true light: “Who could teach noble sentiments to this castrated Negro? his white masters or his ancestors who were hunted like wild beasts; or his ears bleeding under the hands of the coppersmiths; or the price set upon his head when none would give two oboles to purchase him? “But so it is!

Lyla broke in angrily: "Why Reggie!" she exclaimed, "how dare you insult my guest like that? How dare you!" She turned her back on him, and taking Rod's arm pulled him out of the doors. "Please don't mind him—what he said, Mr. Herrick," she begged as they walked down the broad steps into the garden. A wave of laughter swept out after them. Lyla felt the muscles of Rod's arm swell and grow into rock like hardness. "How terribly strong you must be," she flattered as she sank gracefully into a wicker garden chair. She waved Rod into one beside her. "Now please try to forget Reggie's rudeness," she begged, "and tell me about yourself." "There's nothing much to tell," Rod sighed. "At least nothing that would interest you." "Well, you go ahead and tell me anyway," she commanded. Slowly at first, then with increasing freedom, as he sensed her interest in his recital he told her of his life in the rugged hills of his home state. His father had taken out a homestead claim long before Rod was born, he told her, and after several years of bitter toll, had made it into a cattle ranch. From earliest childhood, Rod told her, he had worked with cattle, ridden horses, taken part in roundups, and done many other such things pertaining to ranch life. During the winter his mother had made him attend school in Broken Arrow, the nearest town, which was fifteen miles away. Through grade and high schools he related, he had ridden on his horse to and from school despite driving blizzards, and everything else. His mother's greatest desire, he explained, had been to see him thoroughly educated. She had died just as he was ready to enter college two years previously. Although his father had felt that he would be of more service at home on the ranch than at the State University, Rod had insisted that he be allowed to attend. On his twenty-first birthday, which had been a month ago, his father had given him a letter left by his mother with the provision that it be given him on the day he attained manhood. The letter had disclosed the horror of the lonely ranch life which Rod's mother had suffered uncomplainingly. She begged him to strike out for himself, and not to allow his stern father to tie him to cattle raising in the desolate range country. "I've not been able to figure out just what she meant." Rod told her, "but right or wrong I'm bound to try to do what she asked." His voice grew wistful as he continued: "But I love that country. It's big. It's a man's country. Why you ought to see the mountains in the early morning and at sunset. They're—they're just swell. And the air is clear and fresh—not like this awful gasoliny air in your town." He chuckled aloud. "But say, you should have heard my old man cuss when I told him I was coming here to finish school. He's tough, my father is, but way down deep he's got a fine, big heart. He just believes every man should stand on his own feet. When I left he told me that since I was so determined to get an education I need not depend upon him for any financial support. So I've got to find a job," he concluded whimsically. Lyla had been silent, absorbed in his tale. "When you tell me about that glorious country out there," she told him. "it makes me realize just how futile life in the city is. We just live to dress and go places to be seen. We grub for money and don't care how we get it. "My father is a politician. Folks say terrible things behind his back, but they almost kiss his feet when they meet him. Sometimes I wish I could get away from all of it—it's so false, so unreal." $500 IF I FAIL To Grow Hair HAIR ROOT HAIR GROWER is a power- ful stimulant. Nature's way of forcing hair to grow.

"Why don't you let me take you back out to Golden Arrow with me?" he asked half seriously. "Golden Arrow . . . . that's a lovely name," the girl mused. She laughed. "I might take you up on that one of these days." They heard voices calling her name, she leaped to her feet hastily. "Oh my dear," she exclaimed, "I'd completely forgotten my party. It's probably time for everybody to go home. What will they think of me?" "Seems like I can't do anything but get you in trouble," Rod said ruefully. "I should have known better than to have kept you out here listening to my chatter all this time." "Even if I wanted to stay?" Lyla demanded as they strolled toward the house. In the darkness she stumbled against him so that for an instant he held her in his arms to keep her from falling. Her nearness, her fragrance, her softness thrilled him. "Little Lyla," he whispered, his shyness completely gone, "I do like you so!" "And I like you, Rod," she returned softly, "ever so much." Her voice became crisp as they neared the house. "Listen Rod," she murmured swiftly, "a bunch of us are going to the Swamp Hut, a cabaret after the party. I want you to go along. Will you?" "I'd go anywhere with you," Rod told her. By now they were at the house where a group of Lyla's guests were waiting, with a furious Reggie sulking in back of them. Gaily they teased Lyla, and Rod, and their swift, friendly banter made him feel a part of them. He grinned easily at their sallies, and totally ignored Reggie's fierce glances. Only those guests who were cabaret bound remained in the house and they were putting on hats and coats. "Make it snappy, Lyla," one of them called, "It's three P.G. now and we've got to get along to the ole Swamp Hut, you know." Emboldened by Lyla's invitation, which had seemed to him to be really sincere, Rod brazenly took Lyla's arm as they went down the steps toward the cars. Reggie slouched sullenly along on the other side of them. The Durant car with its chauffeur stood purring at the curb.

In the faint radiance of the small light which illuminated the interior of the handsome machine, Rod grinned faintly at Lyla as Reggie flung himself furiously in the car behind them and slammed the door viciously.

He wondered why anyone like the apparently nice bunch of young folks who composed their party, should come to such a place. Waitehs quickly placed glasses, bottles of ginger ale, and bowls with cubes of ice before them. Rod wondered even at this, but soon understood wher various youths at their tables began, pouring what was obviously whiskey and gin, into the glasses. Reggie had drawn an unusually large silver flask from his pocket, and from it he poured some of the liquid into Lyla's glass, then gave himself an overly generous portion. As Lyla raised her glass to her lips her glance encountered a hurt look in Rod's eyes. Slowly she set it down. Reggie did not notice her action, as he was pouring his drink down his throat recklessly. As soon as he had finished he poured himself another lage drink.

TANLAC ENDS ANOTHER CASE OF RHEUMATISM and Stomach Troubles—Hotel Man Benefits This Time Ending the suffering of 10 years in just a few weeks is going some but that's just an example of how quickly Tanlac works in stubborn cases that never yield to other remedies. No wonder so many local people are so enthusiastic about Tanlac—no wonder local druggists are loud in praise of this medicine. Read for instance what Mr. J. L. Kline says: "For 10 years have had stomach troubles. Rheumatism also of mornings, stiff and sore all over, mostly in back and shoulders. A good powerful medicine was needed to fix me up and Tanlac proved to be all of that. From it I got relief from all troubles, stomach and rheumatism. My digestion now is just about 100% good. No more pain or distress, eat good, sleep as good as I eat, pain, stiffness, soreness all gone. Rheumatism in back and shoulders wiped out. I have tried out lots of medicines but Tanlac gave me results." That's the story of Tanlac in a nutshell—it gives results and gives them quick, for every bark, bark and root is a real medicine. Many "patent medicines" make glowing promises that may fool you into buying them, but remember Tanlac is a real medicine that backs its claims with a guarantee. At all druggists.
