BRANCHES DISCUSS STATE RACE PROBLEMS The Bootleggers Have Hard Sledding Here Volume xlvii Number 16 Color NEW JERSEY BRANCHES DI RACE PR New York, March 7. - Problems confronting colored citizens in the state of New Jersey were thoroughly discussed in a Stat Conference participated in by twelve branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and help in Orange, February 28 and March 1, with upward of fifty delegates present. Among the subjects discussed were segregation in hospitals, schools, theaters, business and the problem of housing. Segregation, it was brought on was being practiced in the following ways: Negro women segregated in the Essex teachers refused employment in northern New Jersey; Negro students denied use of normal schools and swimming pools; Negro normal schools denies practice teaching in mixed schools; and attempts made to prevent colored children from qualifying for college entrance. In southern New Jersey, it was brought out that Negro and white were given separate class rooms with a wire screen separating Nergees and whites in the playgrounds. In other places no Negro children were admitted to white schools and where they attenden such schoolsattempts were made to transfer them to a colored school even though such school might be far distant from their homes. To this end well equipped colored schools have been built in a number of places to temp colored students to withdraw from white schools. Dr. Walter Alexander, former member of the state legislature, speaking on the Negro in politics, stated that in the entire state not a single reproductive position was held by a Negro above the position of messenger and that the race vote was blindly partisan. He urged organized action toward intelligent use of the ballot, and propaganda looking toward use of the New Jersey Civil Rights Act. At amass meeting of the Conference on Friday night, February 28, the speakers were Arthur B. Spingarn, vice-president of the N. A. A. C. P. and chairman of its National Legal Committee, and Robert W. Bagnall, Director of branches. The State Conference elected the following officers: President, D. Vernon Bunce, Orange Vice-President, Rev. Fred Handy, Jersey City; Seitreary, Mrs. Bessie N Hill, Trenton, Treasurer, Dr. W. J Parks, Asbury Park; Executive Committee, Mrs. Bertha Randolph, Orange Mrs. Mary Hayes Allen, Montreal; Mrs. William Cave, Atlantic City; Dr Branch, Camden; and Mrs. Virginia Brown, Plainfield. The Bootleggs Hard S Bootleggers must look for new hiding places to store their whiskey. Dan Duling won't even allow them the privacy of sewers. Last Saturday Mr. Duling and his squad walked to a sewer in front of the Thirty-first Street Baptist Church, lifted the top and removed twelve jars of whiskey. No arrests were made. This recalls a similar story in the same vicinity when two boys were removing jars from a sewer. One was down in the sewer handing them out. The boy on top saw a policeman coming and dropped the covering. When the policeman passed by he heard a voice and lifted the top, a jar was handed out, he took it, two other jars followed, then out popped the fellow into the arms of the policeman. A meter inspector making his rounds Monday in the 100 block East Clay Street found he could not read a water meter until he removed several jars of whiskey. He turned them over to a policeman on the beat, who sent them to the police station. FIVE) HUNDRED HAITANS (Crusader News Service) PORT AU PRINCE, March—the largest mass-petest demonstration ever held here, comprising 5,000 people, greeted the arrival of Hoover's Haitian Commission, which arrived here yesterday on the warship Rochester. The Commission is headed by the imperialist tanker, Cameron Forbes. The protesters carried banners demanding the immediate withdrawal of the U. S. marines and against Wall Street domination in Haiti. Petty-bourgeois A boycott was declared against the hearing of the commission, for some time nobody appeared However, one of the petty-bourgeois nationalists, Pierre Lespasinase a lawyer finally broke the boycott and appeared before the imperialist commission. He recited the history of Haiti and denounced the American occupation. He did not, however, put forward the demands of the majority of the Negro masses who are peasants bitterly exploited by the American masters. He demanded a general election. William Allen White was put on the commission by Hoover to give it a "Liberal" flavor. White can be safely counted on to do to Wall Street's and Hoover's will so far as Haiti is concerned. Another manouver of Hoover's was to appoint the head of the petty-bourgeois Negro Tuskegee institute into a committee to investigate the "educational system in Haiti". Thus an enemy of the Negro masses in the United States is sent to Haiti to help betray the Negro masses there. FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Fith Street Baptist Church was again packed last Sunday morning,tocontinue the installation services of Dr. C. C. Scott, as pastor. Rev. T. J. King, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Pittsburg Pa, and former pastor of Fith Street delivered the messages of the day. Dr. King pleased his hearers at the morn-services with a well prepared and forcefully delivered sermon, the 'subject of which was, 'Back to Your Bibles!' He scouted the idea that any system of philosophy or any collection of books would ever supercede the Christian religion and the Bible. Dr. Scott is being congratulated on every hand and the Church is taking on new life preparatory to launching out upon a big program under his administration. ers Have Sledding Here TWO KILLED AS POLICE RAID CULT HEADQUARTERS Two gin-crazed Negroes flourish revolvers were fatally wounded and a police sergeant killed in a pistol duel following a raid on a disorderly house here Wednesday night.

Numbers Racket In Bad In Valley Of Virginia TICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE RACE Raleigh, N. C./—Statistics resulting from the building of an Alumni Record forn Shaw University graduates and former students convinces Professor Jim C. Craver, Field Secretary of Shaw University, that the institution has probably contributed to the race group in America, more than any other single institution leadership in political matters through seats in various state legislatures as well as representing the race in the ralls of the nation's Congress. Professor Craver says, "Shaw University has done and is doing her part in giving to the race political leadership of the highest order. Thomas C. Fuller, now President of Roger Williams University, Memphis, once entertained and swayed the North Carolina legislature as a member of its Senate, meanwhile other graduates of Shaw backer him from the lower House. The New Yorker respected the most politically from a national standpoint, when R. O'Hara and H. P. Cheatham members of Congress from North Carolina, both Shaw University from North Carolina, made clear their ability as statesmen of a high order." Dr. Frank S. Hargrave another Shaw man has just been elected to a seat in the New Jersey legislature Number In V "NUMBERS" RACKET IN BAD AGAIN Refuse to Pay Alleged Bet. Harrisonburg to Have Cleanup The "Numbers" Racket got another black eye in the Valley last week, when it is alleged that a player was not paid off. This is the second time within six months that such has been the case. Last fall the backer of the "numbers" racket was alleged to have skipped Harrisonburg, after switching the number of a certain day, and later announcing that he had been robbed of. $1,000. According to news items in local white papers Harrisonburg, which has been the "Numbers" capital of the Valley, is now under scrutiny, and it won't be long before somebody will have some explaining to do. "Numbers" have to become in popular in practically all the Valley towns, which include Lexington, Clifton Forge, Wrightville, Covington, and also in Lynchburg and Roanoke. It is reported that the backers in Harrisonburg were simply the second men, that the real bank roll was in Washington, D.C. Just why the bankers failed to pay off can't be learned, as it is reported that they took many dollars of the gullible public in the above mentioned towns each day. Connected with the "Numbers" was also a little pamphlet that was sold that was supposed to have a "Hot Number" just from the clearing house in Ne wYork. This fascinating little piece of literature sold for ten cents, and it was reported that a printer in a Valley town was cleaning up. This "hot tip" also had the clearing house figures for the past year, tabulated daily. The history of the "Numbers" here in Staunton, it is said, shows but few "hits" were made here in the time the racket operated. It is alleged that there was two five dollar ($5.00) hits, one twenty-five dollar ($25.00) and one fifty dollar ($50.00) hit. The bankers are said to have carried away from the city around thirty-five dollars ($35.00) a day when the racket was at its height. In Norfolk the ministerial association went on record against "Numbers" and broadside was hurl- . While the clerk, Mrs. Sahar Johnson, of the American Woodman, was out to lunch from 2 to 3 o'clock, burglaries broke in her office and robbed the safe of $43. The job evidently was done by someone familiar with the place, who held a key to the door and knew the combination of the safe Mrs. Johnson was positive she locked both the safe and the door. The transom was found open when she returned, the door unloaded, the contents of the safe spread around the door. The money outlines and checks were left untouched. Mrs. Johnson immediately notified the police, who arrived a few hours later. No finger prints were found and no arrests have been made. NEGROES LEAD WASHINGTON DEMONSTRATION (Crusader News Service) Washington, March—Negro workers made up the bulk of a hugo demonstration in front of the White House shortly after noon on International Unemployment Day, March 6th The demonstration has no sooner gotten under way than it was brutally attacked by police with gas bombs and s Racket Valley Of ed against them in every church in the city recently. As far as can be learned the ministers of the city have laid lo won the subject, only on one occasion has anything been said about them, and that was by an out of town minister who was carrying on a revival here last fall. This last failure may mean the death knell of the racket in this city, as the players have lost confidence. RACE FRIENDSHIP SOUGHT BY CHURCHMEN Raleigh, N. C. (CNS)—The newly formed Church Relations Committee of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation has launched a move to create among North Carolina churches and churchmen a new interest in improved racial relationship. From one to 29 representatives of each of the 14 different denominations met here this week on invitation of the committee. After hearing talks and discussing various interracial matters, with especial reference to improvements that could be made by the churches, the committee voted to make the meeting an annual affair and the representatives of various denominations went home intent upon putting into practice some of the things recommended by the conference. The various denominational delegates met in separate groups and later reported back to the committee the things they planned to do. The report of the Baptist, made by D. W. L. Poteat, president-meritus of Wake Forest College, was adopted by the committee as the guide for the work of all. Among the suggestions made by the Baptists were that a course in racial relationship be given in schools and colleges, especially church institutions, that the religious press of the State give racial relations as much space as possible, than an annual sermon be preached on the subject of racial relations by every preacher in the State, that every Sunday school give at least one lesson a year on the subject, and that there be a closer cooperation between white and Negro pastors. --- 1. Alleged Rum Runner Killed John Moss was killed and his companion Henry Moss badly cut and bruised about the head when their whiskey laden automobile crashed into an automobile driven by W. A. Ward prominent shoe repairer, at the corner of Chamberlayne and Melrose Avenues, last Sunday morning. Policeman Godfrey and Kelly were chasing Moss in an endeavor to capture the load of contraband, which was being run in for Sunday observation from firefighters attempting to escape arrest. Moss ran full into Ward's car at seventy miles an hour. The two machines were completely wrecked and the wonder is that any passengers escaped death. With Mr. Ward were his son, Joseph Ward and Mr. James Wood, zho is employed in his shop. All received minor injuries the attack with self-defense and for a time gave blow for blow. The Negro workers fought heroically side by side with their white comrades, but in spite of this the Hearst news service in reporting the affair lyingly gave out that "all the Negro demonstrators fled". In Bad Virginia IMPORTANT PLAN ANNOUNCED BY ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Will Conduct Modern Demonstraction School in Connection With Department of Education Atlanta, Ga., March.—A demonstration school, beginning with kindergarten and going through four years of high school, is among the important plans for the next academic year of Atlanta University, according to an announcement by President John Hope. The school will be conducted in connection with the university's department of education and will be for the purpose of giving to students in that departments practical observation and training in teaching methods. The kindergarten and elementary grades will be taught in the Oglethorpe School on the university campus and on the high school grades Giles Hail on in the Spelman campus. The latter lesson will be remodeled to accommodate the school, laboratory, library and other facilities being provided. If desired, high school students attending the school may enroll in the boarding department of Spelman College. In announcing the plans for the new school, President Hope says: "Education for Negroes can be improved only through better teachers. The university will be meetamong Negroes if it can provide one of the greatest needs the proper training of teachers—teachers with thorough knowledge, teachers who can think with accuracy and precision, teachers with character and personality, and with such a contagious enthusiasm for their work as will inspire and stimulate young people coming under their direction. "The demonstration school, through its faculty, will provide an example of good teaching, but its main emphasis will be the welfare of the pupil. The aim will be to train the pupil in thoroughness, in accuracy and in knowledge of the subject. The purpose of the demonstration school is not primarily to give students in the department of education practice in teaching, but to provide them with an opportunity to observe good teaching and its results." --- Organic Union Of Methodist Churches Meeting Favorable ELEVATOR BOY REWARDED AS HERO New York City (CNS)—"Buddy" Nixon, the elevator operator, credited with saving many lives in the fire in the Ilson department store, No. 474 Fulton street, Brooklyn, February 17, by keeping his car running until everyone had escaped from the upper floors of the building, was rewarded for his heroism in the State Department of Labor headquarters at No. 124 East 28th street, Tuesday, March 4. Commissioner Frances Perkins of the Department of Labor presented him with $100 in gold and told him his courage and coolheadedness "has been a great service to other working men and women of your race." Fire Commissioner Dorman, Richard J. Cullen, and Walter G. Petkin, Assistant Secretary of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, praised the young man for remaining at his post when the fire was within twenty feet of the elevator shaft and had made the stairs impassable. Nixon is twenty and comes from Hartford, Conn., where his mother still lives. The Brooklyn job is his first. He lives at no. 331 Clifton Place, Brooklyn.

Lawrence Tinsley, of 712 West Clay Street, and William Bentley, 21 years of age, of 400 block Smith Street, were arrested by Detective-Sergeants Inman and Parker on charges of highway robbery. The boys are accused of having held up the delivery boy at the point of a pistol and robbing him of $20 and a package. Liggon's drug store, at the corner of Laurel and Broad Streets, received a call Saturday night to send a quart of ice cream and change for $20 to an address in the 800 block Park Avenue. When the delivery boy reached the address and held his bicycle, the two boys stepped from behind a tree and ordered the boy to hand over the money at the point of a pistol. Both boys were sent on to the grand jury following a hearing in Police Court. Monday. Police are also on the lookout for a man who tried a similar trick by ordering groceries and change sent to an address in the 600 block West Grace Street. When the delivery boy arrived he was met by a man who took the package and clenched his arm. The sounded an alarm, and the fleeing man dropped both the package and change. COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW REVIEWS BEN BOSS PARDON CASES New York March 7—Among the recent legal victories by colored people to be summarized in law reviews, is the victory in the case of Ben Boss, South Carolina farmer, pardoned after serving thirteen years of a thirty year sentence in prison on a white woman's when it was proposed to prosecute the white woman for perjury, nd she then retracted her confession. The governor thereupon sought to revoke his pardon of Ben Boss and it was this case, apoosed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which went to court and was won for Ben Boss, who is now a free man. The Columbia Law Review for January 1980, in its summary states that the important legal question raised by this case was "whether a pardon may be attacked in Habes Corpus proceedings and the issue of fraud in inducing its issuance determined. The decision in the instant case condemns the practice whereby the party is deprived of notice and an opportunity to be heard by a judicial tribunal on the issue of fraud before he is imprisoned". The presiding judge like many of those sponsored by the N. A. A. C. P., apart form its bearing on the rights of colored people, involves impartant questions of law. On Of Methodist Meeting Favorable Washington, D. G.

In its early history the society was a patriotic organization, with men from all prominent parties as members. The society held its first meeting in the old Frances tavern. The first Tammany hall was built at Nassau and Frankfort streets in 1811, one room being reserved for the meetings of the society and the remainder being rented out as a hotel. This hall was used by the society until 1838 when their home on Fourteenth street, between Third Avenue and Living place, was occupied. This home was used by the Tammany society until 1928, when they moved to a new building on Union square. The society, which was at first entirely a social and benevolent organization, still retains these features to some extent, though it has become better known as the headquarters of the Democratic political organization of New York city. to "Point" Their Pray Even before the dawn of history, dog helped man kill his game, recording to scientists. The first recorders were owned by Neolithic man who went a hunting in skins and with a spear or a bow and arrows as his weapons, the theory goes. Originally the "pointing" of bird dogs was only an exaggerated pause as they prepared to leap on their prey. Even today nearly every type of dog will point game after a fashion. The pause gave the Neolithic hunter an opportunity to locate his meat before it ran or flew away. It brought him a distinct advantage. Consequently, by selection and breeding of the best "pointers," the hunting dog was evolved after countless centuries. This theory is advanced by Iroquois Dahl in Field and Stream. Among the most tenacious of bird parents are the killdeers, probably the most widely distributed of American shore birds. Both the male and the female incubate the eggs. When one is scared from the nest the other steals behind the intruder and takes its place. These birds are experts at the "broken wing" act with men, dogs and predatory animals to draw them away from the nests, but with hoofed animals, which might step on the eggs, they adopt an attitude of defiance. They will spread their wings and run into the animal's face, trying to starte it.

One small boy seemed far behind the others at grasping even the simplest ideas. "Look here, Bobby!" she said, for the fifth time. "Let's suppose your father saves $5 every week for four weeks. What will he have at the end of that time?" Bobby had his answer ready. "A photograph, a new suit, a wireless set, and new furniture for the house," he replied, proudly. The National Geographic society was founded in ISSS. The object of the society is to obtain and disseminate geographical knowledge. This is attained in the first instance by members' undertaking distant travels at their own expense in some cases, and in others assisted by the funds of the society or grants from the government; and in the second instance by lectures delivered and works issued under the auspices of the society, or by papers read and commented on at periodical meetings. It is often said that rat snakes live in prairie dog colonies, where they dwell in peace with the prairie dogs and with burrowing owls. "The peacefulness of this relation," says Dr. Karl P. Schmidt of the Field museum in Chicago, "is certainly open to question in view of the rattlesnake's foodness for small mammals as an article of diet."

Operas Grove's Dictionary of Music gives the following information concerning the difference between certain types of opera: Comic opera—a term used indiscriminately to denote a musico-dramatic work of an amusing nature. It is not the English equivalent to the French opera-comique, 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. The aunt was aroused in the night on the day of his arrival by a very sick boy. Observing symptoms of an overloaded stomach, she said: "Robert, did you buy any trash and eat it on the train coming out" eat it on the train coming out" "No, an ountle, I didn't have a thing except a dozen bananas," replied the distressed lad.

Grimke was a Puri- tan in the strictest meaning of the term. The Northern _philanthro- pists, in the early years immediate- ly following Emancipation, planted schools and colleges for the newly freed slaves, based on the rigid cannons of Cotton Matthew and Jonathan Edwards, They aimed to graph Puritan principles upon the tropical nature of the African. At first there was some semblance of success. The very first crop of Negro graduates manifested the moral austerity of the New Englan- der at his best. But following the law of electricity, the battery re- mained charged only so long as it was Kept in close contact and con- nection with the inducing iniluence. The spiritual and moral earnestness of the carly graduates of Lincoln, Fisk, Atlanta and Howard, com- pared with that of the present day output, seems less like a compari son than a contrast. In the Grimke brothers—Archi- bald and Frank—the strenuous moral propaganda of the Puritans found a fertile field. Of Huguenot extraction, they were endowed with the naive stamina out of which deep convietion and moral courage grow. The rigid Presbyterian dis cipline of the founders of Lincoln University found in the Grimke brothers the prepared soil in which their seed grew to abundant frui- tion. After finishing Lincoln, Frank Grimke went into the ministry, and his ‘brother Archibald entered ‘upon the study of law at Harvard Uni- versity. ‘This brought him in close and intimate touch with the highest form of New England character and culture. He became deeply steeped in the Puritan cult, After essaying the field of law, he took up literature as a profes- sion and took high rank in the craft as author of the lives of Charles Sumner and Wendell Phil- lips. The Puritan propensity to protest against —_ unrighteousness early manifested itself. He was among the first colored men to re- bel against the apostasy of the Republican party. He stodo out pee. among the young re- formers of American politics. He thus came to the notice of Grover Cleveland who appointed him consul to San Domingo, where he served with credit and honor to both countries and both races concerned. By thrift and economy, charac- teristic of training and tuition, he laid “up a moderate competency which enabled him to live the cul- tured life of a gentleman for the balance of his days, His tastes were simple and inex- pensive, He practised the philoso- phy of plain living and high think. ing. He literally lived the life of DEMOCRATS SCORE AGAIN The Democratic Party has scored again. And another time it is the influence of the much talked of “Tammany Hall” political organization of New York City that has caused Rep. Joseph A. Gavagan to appoint two Negroes as can- didates for the U. S. Naval academy, at Annapolis. This may be called a political “sop” by the Republicans, but any- how it is history. There has never been a Negro to gradu- ate from the Naval Academy, and but few have been admit- ted. From all reports the prin- cipal and the alternate are both well prepared, according to Rep. Gavagan, and have been given examinations that are harder than the examinations at the Naval academy, so_it seems that a real test of De- mocracy is about to be made. A statement given out by Rep. Gavagan’s New York of- fice says: “The successful can- didates are all products of the New York City schools, and in the opinion of the examining board, are a distinct credit to it. The young men selected are fine, clean cut, upstanding boys, who will, without doubt, a scholar and gentleman. His lei- sure time was spent amidst literary and cultural environment among work of thought and taste. He spent the last thirty-five years of his life in the home of his brother, where father, brother and daughter formed a beautiful house- hold united by common tie, no’ merely of blood, but of devotion to righteousness and high ideais. During his- long residence _ in Washington he devoted his active life to agitation for the political and civil rights of the colored race. He not only served without money and without price, but contributed liberally out of his moderate means to promote the cause to which ho devoted his best endeavors, As lo- cal chairman of the National Asso. ciation for the Advancement of the Colored People, he made that cause not only his duty, but his business. He was a radical among the radi cals, but his radicalism was always tempered with a fine sense of val- ues and a discriminating intelli gence. It is only the gentleman and the scholar who can be a radical and an agitator without being a nuisance, Archibald Grimke was born in 1849, and died in Washington at the ripe age of eighty years. Dur- ing his last few years, he lingered in the lengthening shadow of death, but he bore it all with the resig- nation and calm as becomes a man of his culture. He died as he lived, devoted to the cause of human rights. The loyal members of the N. A. A. C. P. bore his remains to their last resting place. Archibald H. Grimke was radi- eal, even revolutionary in thought and opinion, but utterly conserva- tive in ethics and morals, He de- parted radically from the intellec- tual narrowness of the early years of Lincoln, but remained true to her moral teaching to the end. His life was characterized by feminine purity and sterling integrity. He leaves behind him most valu- able lessons for the young college men of this day and. generation. ‘The present day intelligentia finds itself distraught between _conflict- ing influences and tendencies. The sanctions of religion are breaking down. Obedience to authority, of God or man, no longer furnishes a light to the feet nor a lamp to the pathway. Liberality of thought is prone to lead to laxity of conduct. Devotion to human rights and moral values is giving way to material allurements. But none of these things moved Archibald Grimke. Behold the gentleman, the schol- 2x, the upright college man, devoted and loyal to the cause of his fel- low men. KELLY MILLER. March 6, 1980. render distinguished service tc their country in years to come Congressman De Priest, tht only colored man in Congress has declared repeatedly that he will appoint only colore¢ boys to West Point and An- napolis, and his declaration seems to have awakened other Congressmen to the fact that colored boys are entitled td education at Government insti- tutions as much as they are called upon to defend the flag, to which they have ever been loyal in times of war. The selection of a Negro for Annapolis will, of course, cause a stir both at Annapolis and in certain sections of the country where the Democratic party adheres to the anti-Negro poli- cy, but the truth is its expedi- ency in politics, In Rep. Gava- gan’s district the vote is about 88 per cent Negro—this will explain the appointment, pos- sibly. The situation narrows down to the De Priest idea, it is only votes that count. Such acts as Rep. Gavagan’s more and more inspires the Negro voter to vote for the best man regardless of party affiliations. This idea is not peculiar to New York alone, but is grow- ing with rapid impetus all over the country. it t ae & & e & &.. .. wyBBBSEVeTUUEYUEEyEEIYIULE LEWISBURG, W.

(CNS)—The racial integrity bill, which defined as colored any person in whom there is ascertainable any Negro blood, was signed last Tuesday by Governor Pollard. About the time the governor is affixing his signature to the measure, another prominent white citizen of Virginia, an editorial writer on a Richmond dail paper, is scoring this legislation as "writing into law not racial integrity, but racial prejudice." "As it appears to the Cavalier, in the Times-Dispatch, the excellent object, of keeping pure the racial blood stream, will hardly be accomplished by prohibitions." Says Thomas Lomax Hunter, "the Cavalier": "Ultimately, in spite of man's laws, and because of nature's laws, the American people will be an amalgam of all various races now in America. We see this in process. That it is occurring is vouchered by the fact that we pass racial integrity laws." "The Negro is not to blame for this fact, if there is blame. In nearly all cases of mixture of blood the white man has been the aggressor. The amalgamation began when the Negro was a defenses chattel. "The Roman Empire was the greatest melting pot the world has ever seen. Modern Italians are a composite of all nations that surround the Mediterranean. There has been Negro blood in the veins of Italy since the days of Hannibal and before. Every Latin country shows the mark of this negroid strain. "Africa has visited Europe more than once. It was late in the Christian Era when Spain freed itself of the African master. "The Negro should want to preserve his social integrity. There is much in his history which he has right to be proud of. People who profess to despise the Negro and boast of their Indian blood are ridiculous. They know nothing of history. But all this aside, the excellent object, of keeping pure the racial blood stream, will hardly be accomplished by prohibitions. Like other prohibitions, this will merely scratch the surface of the matter. Some poor white people will be victimized, a new class of criminals will be created, and all the hardships and futilities will occur which must occur when a law of man set up against the law of nature. The law against intemarriage of public opinion, in the present state of public opinion, a wise social provision. To go now and turn out of the white schools of Virginia, people of an established white status, children who know nothing of their Negro strain, is a monstrous cruelty. This is writing into law not racial integrity, but racial prejudice." Goodwill Baptist Notes Rev. W. B.

Couldn't Fool Him A Boer backvelder in a remote part of the Transvaal began to have doubting to native depredations, as to the safety of £300 he had stowed away under his bed. A friend advised him to deposit the cash at a bank in the nearest town and they would look after it for him. The farmer did so, and asked the bank manager what would be his charge for keeping it safe and sound. On being told that far from there being any charge, the bank would pay him £15 per annum, he "smelt a rat," and brought the money back to the farm. DEFENSE The acquaint in the wiggins case recently, proved again, before a shadow of a courier—so that even the smallest worker can see—that the Courts are part and parcel of the machinery on the big bosses to keep the workers in wage slavery. A woman worker, Ella stay wiggins, was murdered on a public highway, in bad daylight, after the instance truss in which she was rushed to a union meeting had been turned back by a group of thugs. Witness later witnesses described to the face that one of the accused group had snatch Ella stay. Avertiness, they were acquainted. The murder of Ella stay is now caused a "mystery murder." Four months ago seven workers—deal, Miller, Carter, Harrison, McMaughan, McMinnis and Henry—were convicted for what are actually being dead in the raleigh pen. These workers were convicted for no other crime that they aired to organize and aea the masses of otterty-exposed tissue workers. On the night of June 1 these ten-workers heretofore defended themselves, their wives and children and their union pep-up, under the numerous attack of civilian drugs—unicial and unofficial. For workers who night for better conditions and defend themselves—infect deaths in the pen! For murderers of workers—like the nation depicts and the murderers of Elia May—freedom! This shows the true nature of the courts—class instruments of the big minbosses. The wiggins trial was a sham and a thrice from the very beginning. A long time ago the International Labor Department pointed out that no one would be convicted for the murder of Elia May, just as no one was convicted for the murder or our seven brothers in addition. The reasons Attorney General Brummiti prosecuted this case were two. He wanted to make political capital out of this trial—com the blood of Elaa stay into vote for Brummit in 1802, votes from textile workers and 2. because thousands upon thousands of workers were killed, the courts were institutions in the hands of the capitalist class to suppress the workers, just as much as the strike breaking police, and that workers could expect no "justice" from capitalist courts. It was to rty to revive the dying faith of the workers in the capitalist court, to try to peedle further the fairy tale that the courts are placed within the class—this was one of the main reasons why Brummiti went through this shadow-buffing farce. Major Bulwinkle' sown statement, which he crudely blurted out, "What's the trouble up there at Kaleigh that they direct the Attorney-General to come here, did somebody running for office, who already had the cotton mill vote seewed up decide to go after the Brolshevik vote, to? "This is an admission from the lips of an enemy of the workers as to what the real purpose of Brummitt's presence was. The International Labor Defense points out to the workers of the world that this is only another glaring case of capitalist class justice. Just as the mururers of Steve Katovis in New York, and the mururers of unemployed worker in Buffalo and Berlin, Germany, are not convicted, so have not the mururers of Ella May been convicted. Capitalist class justice is based on whom. Where the bosses rule, there the workers taste of the bitter fruit of capitalist justice. Only the Soviet Union, where the workers and farmers rule, the workers get justice. The International Labor Defense points out to the workers that this proves again that the workers must put no faith in capitalist courts. The workers must not fight in their own injustice in the capitalist system, on the political and industrial fields. This case will be a spur to the workers to increase their work of organization of fighting trade unions like the e National Textile Workers Union, of building a mass Workers Defense Corps, of building a powerful International Labor Defense. This acquital should stimulate the workers all over the country and all over the world to raise again a powerful storm of protest against the conviction of the workers of the workers, a storm that will force the bosses and their judicial agents to grant the appeal in April, force their immediate release, and bring these valiant fighters back into our ranks where they will be able to join us in our struggle to free the working class. JUNIOR CHOIR WILL SING Even greater congregations are expected at the services to be held at Fourth Baptist Church, corner Twenty-eighth and P Streets, Sunday, the 9th, than usual.

WORLD WIDE NEWS --- Petrol Tin Invaluable to Rhodesian Settler One of the most generally used articles in the rural homes of Rhodesia is the petrol tin. Petrol and coal oil are sold in most parts of Africa in tins containing four gallons apiece. These tins are the settler's best friends, for he puts them to a hundred uses. In Rhodesia, tins are sawn asunder with an can opener, beaten flat and used as rain-proof roofs for small sheds and lean-tos. With a little manipulation a settler will make guttering, and some spouting may be made from them to carry precious rain water from roof to water tank. With holes punched in the sides and a few blazing logs within the tin, the settler has an excellent brazier by which he may smoke his pipe and read his month-old home news on blitter July nights. He fits a tin into a loose cage of mosquito wire netting and fills the space between with charcoal which he keeps wet. Behind his dairy safe, where his butter will not to turn oil nor his milk of milk sour in the torrid November days. From a tin he makes a camp oven for the Sunday reast. In it his bread and cereals are stored from insect pests. Destructive Fires Set Two stories from Paris tell of two cats, each of whom burned a house down. From Montbéliard, in the east, comes the tale of a cat which, in the absence of its mistress, crawled up on the mantelpiece to reach a chunk of meat that hung above. It lost its footing and fell into the fire. Crazed with fright and pain it streaked out of the window and to its usual haunt, the granary. Its blazing fur set fire to the building, which burned to the ground. The other tale came from Lorient on the west coast. There a cat had been plagued by two small girls, who had been left at home alone. The elder of the two snatched a coal from the fireplace and put it on the cat's back. The animal rushed from the room into the adjoining bedroom and leaped into the bedclothes. When the resulting blaze was finally perceived by the girls it had grown to overwhelming proportions. The girls rushed out of the house and the building was burned down. Good Transcherman Tracing the history of America's eating habits in the World's Work, Sita Bent, the writer, finds himself amazed at the gastronomic feats of our forefathers as they are recorded in the chronicles of the times. "In the effort to show that the Pilgrim Fathers by no means abstemious to drink, it has also been revealed that they were by no means abstemious to food," he says. "How their tables groaned—quarters of mutton and legs of beef, whole hams, several kinds of fish, corn bread and light bread, tankards of ale and quarts of wine! One is amazed that the poor fellows survived." Phosphorescence Occasionally the humble but useful potato, when stored in a dark cellar, becomes luminous, much to the astonishment and consternation of the observer. Many a story of a weird specter, or ghostly visitant from another world, has had its origin in some phosphorescent display. There are many forms of more or less luminous fungus which live in woods and forests, caves and churchyards, and their mysterious bluish-green light, shining out in the hours of darkness, would doubtless fill the superstitious mind with awe and fear. Speaking Superstition Ancient rabbinistic tradition asserts that from the time of Adam to Jacob sneezing was a sign of death. Jacob thought long on these things. He finally went into prayer for a repeat of the law. So successful was he in his petition that the phenomenon of sneezing ceased to be a sign of death and became an infallible sign of life. After Jacob's day, when children came into the world, they announced their arrival by sneezing. So that when the son of the Shunamite was called to life by the power of Elisha, "The child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes."—New York Times. Something Omitted Modeling in clay, now taught to children in many elementary schools, is taken very seriously by some of the young sculptors, judging from a story told by Mrs. Laura Knight, A. R. A. A friend of hers was one of a party who were inspecting the works of various pupils, and they had gathered round to look at a statue of a little old lady which a child of five or thereabouts had just finished. "I wonder what the old lady is thinking about?" somebody said. "Oh, she can't think," replied the tiny sculptor, "I didn't make her any brains." He Really Lived Good King Wenceslas, who peeked out of the window at the celebration of the feast of Stephen, is usually regarded as a mythical person. He is said to have really lived, however, and the thousandth anniversary of his birth is about to be celebrated. In Polish his aname was Vaclav, which somehow got transformed into the German Wenzel and so became Wenceslas. There are many other stories told about his goodness besides that of the Christmas carol. Monster Cake Baked to Order of Polish King A remarkable performance by a baker in 1730 is exhibited by an old drawing of that time. It was the baking, for the king of Poland, of an immense cake or loaf, by the master baker Zacharius of Dresden, in an oven at Zelthalm. It required 1,800 quarts of wheat flour, one and a half barrels of yeast, 326 quarts of milk, 3,600 eggs and three pounds of nutmegs. The cake, which was about 36 feet long and 16 feet wide, was kneaded on a huge sliding draw plate, which was rolled into the oven by chains. The oven, which was of tremendous size for those times, was heated from underneath and had 12 chimneys. When the cake was baked it was rolled out of the oven, loaded onto a long wagon and hauled by eight horses from the bakery at Zelthalm to the headquarters of the review at Radewitz. The special knife used for cutting it was 20 feet long. Cow's Ability to Jump Heralded as Di Heralded as Discovery A discovery was recently made by a regular contributor to a famous London daily paper. A discovery that is really old news to every farmer. He has found out that "cows can jump." "I wonder how many people realize," he writes, "that cows, in spite of their ungainly shape, can jump almost as well as horses?" I had evidence of this the other afternoon, when I saw a herd of ten or fifteen cows, evidently just escaped from their pastures, come stampeding across a field of young corn. A heated and furious cowherd pursued them, and by dint of much shouting and waving of arms turned them toward the hedge that bordered the field. As the cows reached it they rose in turn and jumped, taking it as neatly as a hunter. Everyone landed safely, and trotted away to finish her neglected meal. How wonderful!—Exchange "Waste o' Siller!" A heavy gale was blowing and the steamer was making very heavy weather of it. After a huge sea had swept the deck, a Scottish passenger went up to one of the officers and asked him if he really thought the ship was going to slink.

Dog's Double Life An interesting trait is the Jekyll and Hyde existence led by many sheepdogs, always regarded by us as gentle, man-serving creatures. These, when they take to sheep killing, develop a cunning so extraordinary that they remain by day the perfectly faithful servants of their masters, carefully shepherding his flocks; yet, at nightfall, they transform themselves into villains and steal forth to murder their victims, returning before dawn. Strange to say, a "killer" dog, never slaughters sheep of his own flock. He always ravages the neighbors. Ingenious Romana When Rome was besieged in 538 A. D. by the Goths, the fourteen vaducts which supplied the city with water were cut off. Because of the proximity of the river Tiber the danger of a water famine was not so perilous as that of food, since the mills that ground grain were operated by water wheels. To overcome this danger mills were placed between two rafts securely fastened in the river. The water flowing in the space between the two rafts operated the mill grinding grain. First Movies It is said that the first motion pictures were received in New York with very little enthusiasm. They were presented in 1896 at Koster and Bial's Music hall on Sixth avenue. The audience was apparently under the impression that they were a trick advance of some kind in shadowgraphy, which was then very popular. The first movie audience was even more critical than a modern first night crowd and did not even delign to applaud. Causes of Indigestion Acute indigestion is caused by eating decomposed canned food or tainted meats, food that is hard to digest, eating too rapidly and not chewing the food properly, or excessive indulgence in spirituous liquors. Swallowing liquids which are either too hot or too cold and overeating also cause the trouble. Persons most liable to acute indigestion are those who live in bad hygienic surroundings, those who are subject to gout or rheumatism, or those who have chronic indigestion. Really Drunken Animals It is now an established fact that a good deal of drunkness exists in the animal world, among the chief offenders being the bees. Lombroso has asserted that intoxicants were the cause of crime among many animals, and has cited instances of the sheep and goats of Abyssinia, which go out on regular sprees, eating (to them) the irritating beans of the coffee plant, and thoroughly enjoying the condition they find themselves in!

The day may even come, experts declare, when a visiting Englishman will not protest against overheated hotels and office buildings. "Yet there is merit in that protest today," says the research bureau of the C. A. Dunham company, Chicago heating engineers. "Not only are buildings improperly heated, but building owners lose millions of dollars annually by waste of fuel. Much of the waste passes out of the windows by reason of excessive window opening to relieve high temperatures. "Scientific research and inventive genius are now effecting economics and at the same time protecting health. Many buildings are installing differential vacuum heating systems which, in effect, vary steam pressure and temperature in the radiators to correspond with outdoor conditions. "It is even possible to bring wind or unusual variable exposure, each one being regulated to precise need. Change-overs to the differential system are being made, as the cost is absorbed in fuel savings. "Such scientific regulation of heat not only means a decrease in winter colds, but also reduces the fuel bill Rabbit's Foot Bring He's Fur F The leopard may not be able to change his snout!

The rabbit industry in America is as widely understood, considering its potential importance. The use of American rabbit skins dates only from recent years, although domestic rabbits are as fine as those of Europe and Asia. "The greatest commercial use of rabbit-skins is $er women's felt hats. All wild rabbit skins are used for felts, and large quantities of tame rabbits are used for fur garments, a variety of trimmings on cloth coats, glove linings, and robes. "The supply of wild rabbits in this country is varied, including two kinds of jack rabbits, the cottontail, snow shoe, and marsh rabbits. Tame rabbits produced in abundance here are the white taws, chinchilla grey, and marsh rabbits. There are many variations. Breeders are constantly experimenting in the production of new species of rabbits which will fill the demand." Rabbit shipments from the raw fur house to the manufacture are made in car-load kits, shipments of several hundred thousand skins at one time being an average single postage. These shipments are gathered to ship to a wider quality, quality, and quality of far, far thousands of small shipments from all parts of the United States.

He has worked taken hundreds of boys to Alaska, and this will be his eighth annual personally conducted tour.

THE WHITE HOUSE THE HOME OF THE MASTER NAT When Henry Ford moved the old Postville Tavern from Lincoln, Ill., to his great early-American village near Detroit, he failed to obtain another structure in the same town, even more intimately tied up with Abraham Lincoln. The Tavern in early days was a courthouse where inmates were housed in the Lithia Tea Room, where motorists on Illinois Highway No.4 between St. Louis and Chicago pause to eat, was a home where Lincoln often was the guest of Col. Robert Latham, whose son now owns the mansion. It is jammed with countless relics of the Rail-Splitter and of Illinois' early days, and visitors, escorted by William Latham, are shown such priceless objects as a great rosewood bed in which Lincoln and Grant slept, and the original poem written in by Lincoln after he had consented to christen it, which he did by breaking a watermelon on a rock.

UNDERPRODUCER ATTENTION CUTTING ALFALFA ON RANCH Crops designated recently as underproduced are of especial interest to farmers in the Black Hills district of South Dakota. Alfalfa, sugar beets, and potatoes are among the best of the Black Hills crops, and none of these are over-produced in the country generally. Alfalfa was grown first in the Centennial valley by Captain Seth Boulack of Rough Hider fawn fame some time in the eighties and since then he has been one of the most suitable plants in all the valley between the Ghostscream and the Belle Fourche. Sugar beets were grown in a dormitory manner until the sugar plant was built at Belle Fourche in the fall of 1927 and a minimum price of seven gallons (97.00) a ton was guaranteed all best rains. This brought best results immediately into the fore- --- WHITE HOUSE----HOME OF THE PRESIDENT C. O.

The sure success of beets, the intensive farming required, and the necessary rotation of crops, had an immediate influence on all Black Hills farms. The required rotation crops are alfalfa, small grains, and potatoes. Black Hills potatoes not only are easily grown, but are of unusual flavor and quality. Head lettuce finds its ideal conditions in the high mountain meadows of the Black Hills—cool nights and days of intensely bright sunshine. Soy beans, which never have received enough attention in the country generally to be in any danger of over-production, are coming to be a crop of high agricultural importance on the ranches around the mountains in the southern Hills. --- Cashes in for More Pay than Hoover A.

S. M. FRANCISCO.—The motic rise of Hugh Bardt Bobbos, "Dobbsle," conductor of the Shell Happytime, from Pacific Coast stations of the N. B. C. network every morning, reads like a chapter from "Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp." Found him in his 60s years ago, Bobbos and unheralded personality, walked into the studio of KPO and applied for an audition. The result was an immediate "clicking" and Bobbos began a broadcast known as the Health Exercises period. Success was so outstanding that he evolved the idea of conductor mythology, and he became a craft-ins, the convalescents—carrying to them a shipload of happiness and cloot chasers. His work attracted the attention of E. H. Sanders, an executive of the Shell Oil Company and one of the West's greatest visioners. He engaged Dobbs to broadcast for the Shell company. He soon earned the recognition of his dialers as the West's greatest radio personality—attesting this fact with a smile. His integrity—letters of wholehearted approval are available to prove this assertion. The result has brought about Dobbs being signed by the Shell Oil Company to a three-year contract at a yearly figure far exceeding the salary of the President of the United States. From now on Dobbs will devote entire time to work of the Shell Company, the market of a million dollars and will give him the distinction of being the world's highest paid radio personality. Dobbs was born in Kentucky, 1855. Throughout his boyhood life on his father's plantation he learned from the negroes their secret of music. Hand him almost any instrument and "Dobbsie" will extract some kind of tune from it. From early childhood he has had a leaning toward good natured, wholesome fact that caused his discharge from the United States Naval Academy. After that he entered Johns Honkins, Medical School and fitted QN CITY OF NEW YORK HUGH BARRETT DOBBS himself to become an instructor of physical culture, leaving the naval glory of the family to his cousin, Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of the Merrimac. His father, then a Congressman, aided him by sending him on a world tour. After his return, Dobbs traveled around the country as a teacher of Physical training and during that time hit upon the idea of the Outdoor Playgrounds for children, which has since become a National institution. After building several playgrounds in New York City, Judge Linda Seymour sent him and he supervised the building of Denver's Playgrounds, and then Seattle's. He brought with an adventurous spirit to Alaska in 1905 and became associated with the United States Government Survey and aided in plotting the boundary line between Canada and Alaska. Later he became engaged in the commercial side of motion pictures and then become identified with radio. OH BOY!

By GLADIS MEANE MAYBELLE Martin had to walk down the railroad track to reach the scene of a house party. The affair was to be given in honor of a friend who was leaving late the same night on a Memphis bound train. It was because Maybelle had had a spat with her sweetheart that she was attending the social function unescorted. They say she is a one-man woman, and will never be completely able to forget the young man who is sealed up in the tomb of her heart. It was an extraordinary romance, saturated with moonlight and beautiful red roses; and scented with rare old perfumes. Glittering dream castles had been erected in the minds of those two lovers who lived in the fairyland of dreams. The girl awaited the coming of a charming prince who would some day rescue and carry her off to the big city about which she had dreamed. It had been one of those short, swift affairs which never end exactly right. Both this boy and his girl were honorable. They did not vary from the straight path which leads either to success or failure—although never to both. But there was something sinister afoot when the boy got a letter from a girl he had left in Alabama, and she told him that he was either going to marry her or that she was going to kill herself.

He thought that if he didn't save her by going back and making her his wife, she would end it all. Then he would be stricken with remorse for the rest of his life. Consequently, he put the matter before Maybelle. "You are engaged to me," the girl said softly. "You've given me a ring." "That is true," he acknowledged. "But just think Maybelle, she means to kill herself." Maybelle thought this over. "Do you have ample occasion to believe that she means to carry out her threat?" she interrogated. The young man nodded. "Bless you, yes," he pro- "She did not know what to do at first, but knelt down beside the prostrate figure. She felt the flesh; it was cold. The man's face was like ice.

If I thought she were bluffing me I wouldn't be in the least alarmed. "However, I happen to know that it is not her nature to bluff." Maybelle placed one arm around him. "We have had some dandy times together, haven't we?" she declared. He agreed that they had had some wonderful times together—the most wonderful in the world. He would never forget them. He would never forget her. Even though separated by a great distance, he would remain true to her in his heart. He had never lied to her. He said he thought she ought to know that he loved her with all the strength he had. Maybelle confessed that she was not in the least doubtful of his love, but she didn't like the idea of his making that sacrifice, for, once that step was taken, there would be no adjustment later on. They must needs remain apart forever. "I tell you," he asserted thoughtfully. "God means for me to save that girl's life. Anyhow, May, dear—I am to blame. I courted her.

For an instant younger opponent, but Rod wriggl threw him off. AGAIN Lyla's sudden, shrill scream caused Rod to whirl toward her. She had thrown herself, heedless of her own danger, on Wolf's extended arm—the hand of which held the wicked-looking automatic. As her weight bore Wolf to the floor the weapon roared, belching a spurt of flame and smoke into the floor. Wolf cursed savagely, as he shook her from him and climbed to his feet. As the gun exploded, Rod had leaped toward him. When Wolf stood up and raised his weapon again, Rod ducked to the floor then dove into a hard tackle directly at his adversary's knees. The impact knocked Wolf to the floor. His gun flew out of his hand, skidding out of reach. For a few tense seconds which seemed like hours to Lyla who still hovered near by, the two men rolled over and over on the floor, pummeling each other furiously. For an instant Wolf was on top of his younger opponent, but Rod wriggled like a snake and threw him off. The Stormy C THE MARITIME SAILOR Tiring of England, Jack then went to Spain where he was well known. The two leading matadors, Josalite and Belmonte, were great personal admirers of Jack and interested him in the art of bull-fighting, the Spanish national pastime. Under their expert tutelage Jack made rapid progress. A PART I Rod leaped nimbly to his feet. He stood waiting silently for Wolf to get up. Seeing the tall, bronze youth towering over him with ready fists, whose force he had already felt, Wolf apparently decided not to get up, but crouched staring malevolently at him. "Get up," Rod commanded curtly. "You've got some more coming!" Frantically Wolf's eyes searched among the babbling crowd which now gathered closely to witness the finale of the little drama, as though he were seeking help from some of his vanquished henchmen. "Let him go, Rod." Lyla begged, "and let's get out of here before anything else happens!" As though on cue from her warning, a whistle shrilled loudly. "The cops!" somebody yelled frantically. Instantly the fight was forgotten as the crowd began milling around like stampeded cattle in a wild effort to escape. Rod lifted Lyla into his arms effortlessly, and bore her through the crowd toward the rear of the place where his quick eyes, trained on the vast Montana ranges to observe closely, had noted a small door almost hidden by palms. The door opened into a dusky passageway. Rod groped his way along ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 15, 1930 slowly, lest he fall and hurt the fragrant, soft burden which he was carrying so tenderly. Once he stumbled. Lyla clasped her arms around his neck and held him tightly. In spite of the danger which they had just escaped, he halted. In the darkness her lips brushed his swiftly then she said in a low voice: "We'd better hurry, Rod. It would be awful for Dad if I were caught in a raid in this terrible place." Rod breathed deeply. "Gee whiz!" he ejaculated fervently. "I didn't know anybody could be so sweet . . . ." Again the girl's arms tightened around his neck. "Tell me about it later," she commanded with a little catch in her voice, "but let's get out of here while the 'getting's good." Obediently Rod started toward the end of the passage. "I was never so frightened in all my life," Lyla told him in a whisper, "as when those men attacked you. I had no idea you would be able to defend yourself so wonderfully." Iod chuckled. "Anyone who has ever wrangled cattle, and wrestled steers around, is bound to have plenty of strength; and then, too, I learned to box from one of our cowhands who (Continued on Page Four) A In a short time Jack became a matador.

All the fellows on the place used to mix it with gloves. We had some tough battles!" By now they had reached the faint light which disclosed a short flight of stone steps, and another door. Rod set Lyla down with gentle reluctance. Opening the door cautiously, he peered out. "We're in luck," he whispered to the girl.

This door must open on a different street. Let's vamoose!" The two sneaked rapidly out of the place, and jumped into the taxi. The driver looked at Rod inquiringly. "Get away from here in a hurry!" Rod commanded quickly. The car slid into motion almost at once. As they passed the corner near the entrance to the Swamp Hut, they saw a patrol car backed up to the sidewalk. Officers were herding people into it roughly. Lyla shuddered. "With the elections coming up this fall it certainly would have hurt papa a whole lot if I had been caught in the raid. The newspapers would have played it up big just because I happen to be an Alderman's daughter. I don't know how to thank you," she added as she relaxed tiredly against him. Rod sighed happily. "You sure don't need to thank me, Lyla," he said warmly. "If you hadn't jumped on Wolf when you did I probably would be dead by now. It's I who should be thanking you." Well what did you expect me to do—" Lyla countered, "stand up there and see that awful brute shoot you?" "Well that's what most girls would have done because they wouldn't have had either the nerve or the presence of mind to do what you did." Rod differed gently. "Anyway you're what the boys out on our ranch would call 'regular.'" "Where to? " the driver asked popping his head back into the car. Lyla leaned forward to give him her address. "De we have to go home right away?" Roc' pleaded. "Can't we just ride around for a little while? Please Lyla?" The girl considered. "I really should be home now," she sighed, "but I don't want to go either. Let's have the driver take us out along the Lake Shore Drive. It's O.K. with me." Rod gave the chauffeur new directions. Obediently the man swung his car toward the lake. The air was cool, and it became fresher, and tangy as they approached Lake Michigan. They swept smoothly through a large park whose frosted lights made the dark macadam of the driveway gleam like dull eboy, and threw into shadowy relief, the tall trees and clumps of hedge already turning green. Rod and Lyla were silent. Her shoulder rested lightly against him. Slowly he allowed his arm to go around her so that she lay in its half circle. She looked up and smiled. "You are not quite so bashful now," she observed faintly. He tightened his arm around her. His heart was pounding so that he feared she must hear it. "Why should I be now that I've found out that you are an 'honest-to-gosh' real perso:?" he queried. They fell silent again. By now they were on the broad Boulevard which ran parallel with the lake. In the east a ruddy glow foretold the imminence of dawn, and it unfolded the rolling dark lake whose lacy waves splashed up on the strip of the luminous beach. "It's beautiful!" Rod exclaimed, as he stared at the waters. "I've never seen so much water in my life. Gee! I'm coming swimming over here a lot!" "Take me with you?" Lyla de- Watch Your Hair Grow Soft A manded. "All the time — anywhere," Rod promised recklessly. Then he added "That is if your little boy friend isn't around." "Oh — Reggie." Lyla sighed. "I'd forgotten all about him? I wonder what became of him after he deserted me so beautifully?" "I hope he fell off in a ditch somewhere." Rod said morosely. "Don't be like that, Rod," Lyla begged. "He isn't worth such a dark thought." She rubbed her nose reflectively. "Now just what will I do with him?" she mused. "You aren't married to him, are you?" Rod asked significantly. Lyla laughed. "Why of course not, silly. But," she said more seriously, "I AM engaged to him." "Engaged to him!" Rod echeled. "Yes, but it isn't a love affair at all. I really don't like him much," she hastened to add. "But you see right now it's rather important for Dad to stand in good with Reggie's father who is a banker and has lots of influence. At least till after the elections this fall," she explained. She felt Rod's arm bulge and harden. "Glad you told me," he exclaimed with a trace of bitterness. "I suppose I've made an awful fool of myself." "Don't be that way, Rod," Lyla begged. "Just as we are becoming friends too. Can't you understand my position?" "Oh, sure," muttered the youth.

THE DARK KNIGHT —By William Smith (Continued from Page Four) She peered up at him impishly." Won't you please, sir, make your arm nice and soft for Lyla?" she wheedled. Rod laughed unevenly then swept her to him. Their lips met electrically. She pushed him away gently after a few seconds of the breathless contact. "Do you really love me like that?" she asked with a startled laugh. "Do I?" Rod began just as the taxi driver again stuck his head inside to ask: "Well, where do you folks want to go now?" Rod frowned at the interruption. "Home," Lyla instructed as she gave the address. It was growing brighter, and the sun's glow was stronger now.

Shyly Lyla turned her lips to meet his. "Now I'm not afraid of all the dads in the world!" he exclaimed grandiloquently. "Not even my own," he added humorously. In a few minutes the taxi halted before Lyla's door. In the daylight Rod was awed by the largeness of the big stone house which was very obviously the home of a rich man. Lyla climbed out of the car, waving Rod back as he would have assisted her. "You stay in there," she commanded. "And come back to see me tonight. Then you'll meet papa, and maybe I can get him not to shoot you after all." Lightly she ran up the steps where she turned to blow a kiss at him. "Adios, cowboy," she called gaily. Rod bowed as best he could, but was jerked back undignifiedly as the taxi driver started the machine with unexpected abruptness. He peered out of the window to see Lyla laughingly enter her home. PART II LYLA ARRIVES UNNOTICED Quietly the girl tip-toed up to her room. No one was awake yet. In spite of the excitement of the night, and the fact that she had had no sleep, her dark eyes were sparkling. When she had closed her door she began humming a little tune. Gaily she skipped across the floor to her bathroom where she turned the hot water on into the sunken tub which extended into the black and white marble of the floor. Recklessly she emptied half a bottle of fragrant bath salts into the steaming water, then pranced back into her room to disrobe. Seated before the tall mirror of her dressing table she stared pensively at her reflection. Her curly, intensely black hair was wind-blown and tumbled, and it formed a picturesque frame for her richly brown, piquant features. Her small daintily carved mouth was slightly parted, disclosing twin rows of teeth white enough, and perfect enough to have been gleaming seed pearls. Tiny rogish dimples gave her an air of elfish beauty. She made a face at herself, then stood up, and with a wriggle of her supple, softly curved, golden body, slipped out of her silken sheath of an undergarment. A barbaric red and gold dressing gown lay on the foot of her bed. Throwing it around her shoulders she again sat down before the mirror. "Old mirror," she whispered softly, "do you think that Rod fellow really likes me? Do you? Well if you should happen to see him you tell him that Lyla likes him too—and plenty." Then with a grin at her own foolishness she fled to the bathroom where the steaming water was beginning to overflow onto the floor. PART III. ROD LEARNS THE EXTENT OF HIS DANGER Rod awakened suddenly as he felt a touch on his shoulder. Sitting up swiftly he found his friend Martin standing beside his bed. The light in his room burned brightly. Through his windows he could see the radiance of a street lamp outside. "Wake up, sleepyhead," the lawyer laughed. "What are you trying to do sleep the clock around?" Rod scratched his head. "Gosh," he yawned, "what time is it anyway?" Martin consulted his wristwatch. "It's now eight-thirty of a glorious spring evening," he announced. "Lyla told me to find out 'what-in-hell' had happened to you. Only she didn't say 'hell.' She seemed worried for fear something had happened to you. She didn't know how to call herself, she told me." He slapped Rod smartly on the back. "Boy, you've raised plenty hell in this man's town, and no fooling," he laughed admiringly. "The story of how you bearded the Wolf in his own den, and slapped him and his whole pack down is all over town. Half the flappers I know want to meet you. You've become a hero, old scout." Then his voice changed; it became serious. "But Rod you've got to watch yourself. That bird Wolf, is nobody's plaything.

Atlanta, Ga. egg. Why he's the biggest gangster on the southside, and what's more, he's in cahoots with 'Broken Nose' Cappelli, the biggest bootlegger in Chicago, and maybe even in the world. Wolf used to be his chaufeur, then he got in the game for himself. "This Wolf's got plenty of money, and he's smart. He owns a couple of policy wheels," he went on, "and besides that he owns the Swamp Hut—and that's why he's not liable to forget your coming down in his own joint and making a fool of him. He's used to taking what he wants in the way of women, and most fellows just laugh it off because they are afraid of him. Police think he is responsible for several murders, but they can't get anything on him." Martin paused to light a cigarette. Rod yawned widely and said: "Marty, you know I've met a lot of so-called badmen out in Montana—guys who would as soon shoot as spit. Somehow or other your tale about this tough guy doesn't worry me very much." Martin sat down on the bed beside him. "Now you listen to me, you hot-headed fool," he said, his eyes probing into Rod's, "this is no joke. They do things in Chicago that they never thought of in Montana. And I'm telling you that that bozo you beat up is really liable to do you some harm. You be careful!" Rod grinned. "Oh, all right, old preacher," he agreed. "I'll be just awfully careful. But what," he asked with more interest, "did Lyla say?" "She said that you had a date with her tonight," Martin said, smiling again, "and she practically ordered me to bring you to her dead or alive, in my car." He nudged Rod slyly. "Boy for an allegedly green kid, you are one swift worker. Reggie's apt to punch you in your nose again if you don't watch out," he chortled. "Yes, and I'll smack him in his eye the next time," Rod growled. "I didn't sock him last night because he was drunk and because—I—he—" "Oh, yeah," Martin broke in. "I know. It was because you thought Lyla liked him. She's already got that figured out, and it makes your stock skyhigh. She told me that for a minute she thought you were a coward in spite of those big shoulders of yours, but after she saw you go into action against those gangsters she knew that it wasn't cowardice which kept you from socking him.

It's through the use of the remarkable medicine Tanlac for for years has steadily but quietly been performing almost miraculous benefits for millions. Here's just one case out of thousands who have in their joy taken the trouble to write us. His name is Mr. B. F. Burbage. Mr. Burbage, a transfer man, suffered for 15 years from rheumatism and as he had to earn his living like you and I he had just about despaired when as a last resort he tried Tanlac. "I could hardly move about or raise my arms up. To go up or down stairs it would seem like my knees would break. The pain hurt awful and crippled me up. Besides rheumatism, my digestion was bad and I was rundown generally. It was a mighty big handicap in my business. Finally I began Tanlac and it won the bout for me. It began at once to overcome my muscular rheumatism and now have not an ache or pain and am a well and new man. I recommend Tanlac with unbound confidence."

"Glad to meet you, Mr. Herrick," he said drily. "I've heard quite a bit about you today. Allow me to thank you for so gallantly defending my daughter last night." "It wasn't anything, sir," Rod said confusedly. "I guess I'm a kind of roughneck anyway." "Well, I like your kind of rough-necks," Alderman Durant told him more warmly. Then he asked abruptly: "Have you decided what you are going to do this summer?" "Er—that is not yet," Rod stammered. Lyla nudged him slyly. "He's got to find a job daddy," she explained.

Instinctively Rod stiffened. "I appreciate your warning, Mr. Durant," he said quietly, "but I have no intention of running away from him or anybody else."

Lyla exulted when her parent had left the room. "He didn't seem to, so very much," Rod observed wryly. "If you knew him better you'd think differently," Lyla explained. "I'll bet he'll get you a good job," she added. "I wish you hadn't asked him about a job," Rod said frowning a little. "But why not?" the girl demanded. "Yes, I know how you feel but I've always managed to knock along by my own efforts." Rod explained. "Oh, well, if you don't want me to help you, I don't care!" Lyla pouted as she flounced away from him. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, dear," he cried contritely. "Please don't take it that way!" Lyla was walking away from him. In one swift bound he had her in his arms. For an instant she held herself away from him, but the hurt look in his eyes made her relent. Slowly her arms crept around his neck, her lips met his hesitantly. He crushed her to him. "I love you little Lyla," he whispered, "I do love you so!" The girl smiled mistily. "All of a sudden?" she asked softly. "All of a sudden," Rod confirmed. Lyla reached up on tip-toe to rumble his hair. Then she slipped out of his embrace and flung herself into a red leather chair. Rod threw himself at her feet and kissed her hands. "It's nice to be in love," he observed with a happy sigh. "Is it?" Lyla asked innocently. "Tell me about it." Then the hours fled unnoticed as the two young folks exchanged rapt conversation. When at last Rod glanced at his watch he was astonished to see it was midnight. He rose at once.

"You big country boy," Lyla laughed. "Midnight isn't so late here in the big city. Must you go?" "Yes, I must," Rod said regretfully. "I've got to land in this town and I want to get up early to start my landing." Lyla escorted him to the door. "Coming back to see me real soon?" she asked. "Sure, as soon as you'll let me," Rod assured her. Then he drew her into his arms. His kiss was gentle, almost reverent. Lyla closed her eyes for an instant, then she pushed him away. "Boy friend," she laughed nervously. "your kisses make me drunk. You'd better fly before I kidnap you." Rod walked down the driveway toward the street like a man who treads on air. The fragrance of the girl lingered with him, and the feel of her soft lips was warm on his. He essayed a little jig step and to himself sang softly: "I'm in love, so in love, with Lyla."
