THE RICHMOND PLANET Eddie James Mystery Victim of Bullets. Volume xlvii Number Early Thursday morning of the 18th Second Police Station received a call that burglaries were entering the house at 101% West Jackson Street. When Policeman Harper arrived he saw a man merging from the rear of the house. The man refused to obey the officer's orders, and the officer opened fire, wounding the man five times. The man turned out to be Eddie James, a demented youth, who lived at 7 West Jackson Street. This boy was well known by everyone in the neighborhood and made a living by scrubbing floors, washing windows, and other general housework for families in the neighborhood that needed such work done. Families that he worked for declared that they could trust Eddie anywhere, any place, and that he never took one cent or a crumb of bread unless it was given to him. Every night he cleaned up the Armstrong Confectionery at St. James and Leigh, and the proprietor never missed anything. The woman who sent in the alarm lived alone in the basement of the house. Her movements were little known, and she led a very mysterious life. She moved away the same day of the shooting. Eddie lived in the rear of Mrs. Louis Jimerson, at No. 7 West Jackson Street. She said he never took anything from her, paid his rent regularly, and could be trust anywhere. Mrs. Jimerson knew nothing of Eddie's people, but heard that Essie Morgan, of the 600 block St. James Street, had communicated with Alex. Minor, at Fredrick, and asked him to find the boy's aunt Eddie's only weakness was whiskey, and he was harmless even in this state unless someone troubled his money. The night before the shooting Mrs. Jimerson was aroused by someone tussling on her front porch. On coming to the door, she heard Eddie arguing with a man he called Tom, and accused hi mof taking his money. Eddie appeared to have been drunk. Another man stood on the outside of the gate, while Tom and Eddie were scrambling it out. Eddie James on being interviewed in the St. Phillips Hospital was very weak and could talk very little because of a bullet in his neck. He managed to say he was trying to get his money. Mrs. Mary Frances Brown, who occupied the upper part of the house at 101% West Jackson Street, said that Eddie had scrubbed her floor a few days ago, and that he could be trusted anywhere. She did not hear anyone scream or an gun fired, as her doors were closed to her. She knew little if anything of the woman who lived under her, other than her first name was Hattie. Our reporter picked up a tip that this Hattie could be found near Madison and Marshall with a woman named Martha. Following this tip he located both women. Hattie's last name was Scott. She was a stout brown skin woman in her thirties, about five feet tall. "I lived by myself," she said, "and early Thursday morning heard someone trying to get in my back window. I screamed three times and no one answered. On coming back into the room, I continued to hear someone attempting to break in. I ordered them away and screamed again. Then I left the house and came around to Marthas. She advised me to report it to the police. So I walked up to the police station, a few blocks away, and told them my story." The house man at the police station was sent to investigate. Hattie Scott said she arrived home about the same time the police did, and, walking to the rear, the police man ordered Eddie out. When Eddie came out hire sloped down and the officer opened fire. When the woman finished her story her eyes were full of tears. (Is Eddie James really a burglar? Who is Tom, and did Hattie Scott know who was in her house? Will Eddie James live to clear up this mystery? Read The Planet weekly, as these questions will soon be answered.) Leonard Jones, who lived in the 1400 block West Leigh Street, died in St. Phillips Hospital Tuesday night as the result of injuries rewired when he was stabbed during a fight Sunday near Harrison and Leigh Streets. Our reporter visited Jones a few hours before his death and found the young man unable to talk. He was stabbed in the stomach. Percy Thomas, of the 800 block North Harrison Street, was arrested by Detective Sergeants Kellam and Reid on a charge of murder in connection with Jones' death. Thomas and Jones were the very best of friends. But Thomas declares those he then arrests and when Jones made a move as if to pull off his coat he drew his knife and stabbed him. VIRGINIA BARBERS TO CONTINUE FIGHT Richmond, Va (CNS)—Means of preventing the passage in the future of a barber bill such as was defeated at the recent session of the Virginia Legislature after a bitter contest, were discussed on Sunday by the fifty delegates in attendance at the convention of the Barbers Protective Association of Virginia, made up of Negro borers from all parts of the State. They are planning to oppose the substitute bill which was introduced in the State Senate, following the defeat of the original bill which provided for the examination and certification of the barbers in the State. The new bill which authorizes the creation of a State Barber Board with only a licensing power, and retaining the original provision for eighteen months' apprenticeship will be required before a man may become a licensed barber, was approved by the Senate Committee on General Laws. The revised measure leaves physical examinations and health tests of barbers up to the State Board of Health, and provides that no other examination of any sort shall be made by the Barber Board. The barbers will base their opposition of the measure on the poor work the creation of the board will lead to the barring State regulation of the barbering professions. PYTHIAN AND COURTS WILL OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY The Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe will observe their anniversary Sunday at 3:30 P. M. at Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Dr. A. W. Brown, pastor, will deliver the annual message, and a splendid program has been prepared. The members of the Richmond district will turn out in full and all former members and the public are invited. MAGISTRATE FOR GRAND JURY New York, March 14.—Magistrate Jacob, Ellerin, sitting in the First District Magistrate's Court of Brooklyn this week held for the Grand Jury, Patrolman Walter Love, who on September 9th, last shot and gravely wounded Ralph Baker, young colored Lincoln University student. Present in court and representing Ralph Baker, was William T. Anderson, special legal assistant of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is a second victorious step in the fight that has been made to bring the patrolman to justice, the first having been the successful appeal by the N. A. A. C. P. to chief Magistrate William McAdoo, who authorized a warrant for the patrolman's arrest after he had been discharged by Magistrate Mark Rudick sitting in the Second District Court of Brooklyn. It is expected that the case against Patrolman Lowe will be presented to the Grand Jury in a fortnight, at which time the N. A. A. C. P. will present the witnesses it has assembled and had in court at the previous hearings. SOUTH RICHMOND The Sunday Schol of the Union Baptist Church is making rapid progress under the leadership of Deacon Ellerson Spurlock and his corps of officers. Last Sunday morning and evening the pastor, Dr. L. C. Garland, delivered two strong messages Tomorrow 11:30 A. M. the assistant will have charge of services, also the Fifth Sunday morning, 8 P.

Admission, 10 cents. GRAVEL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. L. Tuck, Pastor. Sunday School convent at the usual hour with Supt. C. V. Brown at her post of duty. At 8 P. M. a candle light service was given by the Sunday School. It was a success. Bro. Lorenzon Johnson, secretary of the school, was manager. Pastor Tuck is improving. We hope that he can be out with us Sunday, it being our communion day. Deacon W. H. Pleasan is improving slowly. J. M. ANDERSEN Reporter. Haitian Masses Demonstrate Against Hoover's Commission. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Hatia, Mar- The first_contacts with_conditions here comes by way of the long quay smarming with men of all ages, ragged, tired, half-stayed, many deceptive and ancient. All jostling each other for the job of unloading, with its miserable stavation wages as they wait impatiently for the boat to dock. Stalking about in the ridiculous pose of tin gods are the American marines, most of them requited from the South. They provokingly wear their guns and bayonets. In the harbor is the S. S. Rochester which brought the commission, with which Hoover seeks to allay the burning unrest against the American imperialism. Firstt appearances do not show any of the 'improvevets' so much talked about by the apologists for imperialist oppression. Only the marines are every where. And the natives would hardly accept them as an 'improvement.' They act as if they own the place. They and their families do as they please, they ride around in cars and hog the right of way, refusing to permit other cars to pass. Those on foot take up as much of the road as they possibly can, jostling the people and trying to establish in Haiti the rule of the South Africa of forcing Negroes to keep off the sidewalks. THE CAPITAL "N" IN NEGRO N. Y. World.— The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, most of us will think, is right in attaching importance to the fact that a long list of peridicals have heeded its arguments and decided to print the word Negro with a capital N. Were it not for certain evidents in American history, this of course would be an extremely trivial thing; there is no reason in logic why the name of any race should be capitalized, and in some languages, as for example the French and the German it is not. But in our language the names of races are capitalized, and that in the United States the Negro race alone should have been designated by a small letter can hardly have been the result of accident. It seemed to reflect the conviction of the white man in our early days that the Negro was in some way inferior to other races. That the practice was retained, longer after constitutionals and other pronouncements had put a theoretical end to the notion inferiority, sacked of hypocrisy. The association is right in working for the capital N, and the readiness with which so many newspapers, magazines, &c, have agreed too use it indicates that the hypocrisy was so to a large degree unconscious. so doing, they have contributed in a quite but enormously effective way to the racial pride of the Negro. It is interesting, by the way how many of the newspapers on the societal list are publishing in the South. It is merely one more sign that the effort of many in that section of the country to ease the acuteness of the social problem is thoroughly sincere. FULTON NOTES The Sunday School of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church was well attended last Sunday. The preaching services were very inspiring. Tomorrow morning and evening, come out in large numbers to hear our pastor, Rev. C. A. Cobbs. The several services at the Union Level Baptist Church was a great success in every way. The meeting was conducted by Dr. Kent, the pastor of First Baptist Church, Washington Park. Let us patronize in our own places of business. We have several colored grocery stores, one cleaning and pressing establishment located at 414 Louisiana street, operated by C. B. Jefferson and Louis Taylor. If we don't give satisfaction tell us so. Rev. C. B. Jefferson preached last Sunday at the Fair Oaks Baptist Church, Rev. J. R. Vaughan, pastor. In the rostrum was the pastor and Rev. Chanty, one of the missionaries of the Star of East Association. John Cephas Is Killed by Brother John Cephas, woh lived at Yellow Tavern, died in St. Phillips Hospital Sunday night of wounds received on March 5th, when he was shot by his brother. Henrico county Officers J. S. Sheppard, W. B. Sheppard and H. Kindervater have arrested William Cephas, his brother, on a charge of murder. The fight was the result of a family brawl, when the two boys started arguing when the musical instrument could be played. One wanted to play the piano, while the other wanted to play the victrola. They invited each other out into the yard for a fight. William got a gun, came out and shot John. CENTRALIA The First Baptist Church held its regular business meeting on Friday night, March 14.

New York (CNS)—The number of unemployed Negroes is not less than 330,000, according to an estimate of the National Urban League of New York City whose Departments of Industrial Relations and Research have made a careful analysis of figures gathered from all sections of the country as a part of surveys of unemployed people in several of the principal cities. T. Arnold Hill, who heads the Industrial Department of the League, states that "unemployment among Negroes due to causes other than inability to find work will certainly total 330,000, exclusive of the unemployed farmers. This figure is more apt to be understated than exaggerated considering the changes that have occurred since the last census and unemployment of various kinds due to causes other than failure to find employment." Continuing, Mr. Hill says: "The disparity between the Negroes and white people unemployed in Buffalo is shown by a recent report of the New York Department of Labor when indicates 17.7 per cent unemployment among Negroes compared with 10.8 per cent unemployment among white males. In Philadelphia unemployment is reflected from a report made by attendance KNOW YOUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Planet's representative found Mr. Samuel Howell very busy with his two classes at Navy Hill School when he visited there. He has the 5H and 5L classes. Their lesson for the period was history and the period under instruction was Roman at the time of Christ. It was very interesting, as Mr. Howell proceeded to find out first just how well the Sunday school teachers had been on the job by questioning the children as to their knowledge of this period as gleaned from the Bible. He then proceeded to teach them, and we are confident that they know the event of that period. Members of the classes are: 5L2 Class—William Amos, John Boyd, George Foster, Joseph Hanesworth, Solomon Harris, Marshall James, Matthew Johnson, William Johnson, Charles Patterson, John Richardson, Cleveland Taylor, James Witherspoon, Ernest Wright, Dorothy Bray, India Coles, Ruby Dandridge, Grace Davenport, Susie George, Helen Jackson, Elizabeth Jones, Lucille Mack, Madeline Mitchell, Queen McLauren, Muriel Robinson, Mildred Turner, Virginia Williams. 5L2 Grade—Curtis Banks, John Baker, Judson Chambers, Willard Diles, Thomas Jamison, Robert Lee, Ammon Miller, John Nelson, Neale Oliver, Norman Taylor, Addie Brown, Araabella Clarke, Florine Hatch, Lucille Jones, Rose Kenny, Dorothy Lewis, Lottie Madison, Coriine Nash, Mabel Rogers, Mary Smith, Wilnette Smith, Roberta Taylor, Addie Williams.

This report shows a relatively heavier proportion of Negroes unemployed than white workers. The difference was pronounced in one district in which 29.2 per cent of Negroes and only 6.8 per cent of the whites were unemployed because they could not find jobs. "The seriousness of unemployment in South Carolina is reflected in the following statement of conditions in one of its largest cities. There will be a 50 per cent decrease in farm revenue this spring among Negro farmers. The building industry shows stagnation. The large oilfield contractors are work crews. White contractors are showing a preference for white workers. Common labor is in poor demand, 50 per cent being either idle or only on the way. 'Large numbers of Negroes are reported in the unemployed ranks of Milwaukee Communists engaged in street celebrations. Charitable institutions are making special provisions for 900 married men with families in Cincinnati, while 600 single men are being given nights' iodog and help from relief agencies.' Washington, D. C., March 8.—Howard University's policy of extending the facilities of the Institution to ministers in rural South, unable to attend college, inaugurated by the late Dr. Sterlin N. Brown, was indicated last week in the Institute conducted by the School of Religion of Howard University at Kinston College, Kinston, N. C. Three addresses were delivered by Dean D. Butler Pratt, the Rev. R. W. Brooks, and Drs. Wm. C. Gordon, Jas. B. Pinn, and J. E. Bentley, on the particular subjects in which they are instructors in the Howard University School of Religion. Other speakers at the institute were Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, president of the H. Jeans and Slater Funds, and Dr. N. C. Newbold. The Institute is sponsored by voluntary contributions of friends of the projece, principal among whom art Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, president of the Stokes-Fund, and Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, president of the state attended the institute, no fees being charged for the services of the visiting speakers. Another similar institute will be held April 9, 10, at the State College in Fayetteville, N. C. Upon the funeral service of Dr. Sterling N. Brown, in Andrew Rankin Chapel last fall, President Mordecai W. Johnson, in commending the work of Dr. Brown on behalf of the rural South ventured the prediction that the day will come when not only the School of Religion, but every department of the university will extend its services to deprived of the opportunity of registering as resident students at the university.

XTRA TWO ARKANSAS BOYS SAVED FROM DEATH GET TEN YEARS New York, March 15. Through the Arkansas Survey, a colored weekly newspaper published in Little Rock, Ark, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People learns that two young colored boys, Robert Bell and Grady Swain, once sentenced to death for the alleged murder of a white boy, and for whome the N. A. A. C. P. helped finance two appeals, on third trial have been sentenced to ten years in prison. Sentenced to death at their trail in December, 1927, the case was reversed by the State Supreme Court, and the second trial resulted in a sentence to life imprisonment for Robert Bell. The State Supreme Court again reversed the decision and ordered a new trawl. According to the Arkansas Survey ..... Monday was spent in trying a jury. Only nine jurors are obtained, and rather than carry the case over another year, the lawyers compromised the case. The defendants pleaded guilty and threw themselves on the mery of the court. Judge Davenport sentenced them To procure the original conviction which was reversed, the boys were threatened, terrified and tortured with whippings in order to make them a consoa. The N. A. A. C. P. was interested in the case throughout, contributing the sum of $2.44 toward the expenses of the various appeals and trials, and $280 for investigation. Had a white attorney not intervened in the case, and the N. A. A. C. P. backed him up, it is likely that the two young colored boys would have been executed charged with a murder of which their atorney and the N. A. A. C. P. believe soon innocent. Rev. R. M. Williams Closes Successful Year The Leigh Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, Fifth and Leigh Streets, known throughout the city as the People's Church, will end the conference year Sunday with three services in celebration of their pastor's, Rev. Robert M. Williams, D. D., fifth anniversary. The church has made much material progress, as well as spiritual progress, since the coming of Dr. Williams. One of the goals of the church has been canceled, the church has been decorated inside and out, new heating and lighting systems installed, parsonage painted inside and out, and more than three hundred new members added to the church roll. As a result of its community program the church has presented to Richmond some of the race's most noted men and women. Drs. Dubois, Emmett J. Scott, Matt Henson, Spalding, Abbott, and many other noted men of the race have spoken from the platform of the church during the past five years. The church has sponsored Emancipation Day celebration and Interracial Day. Dr. Williams, the pastor, in spate of his heavy church obligations, has found time to work in all civic undertakings for the betrayment of the race. He has preached twice Sundal. His subject for the 11 A. M. service is "Stand," and at the 8 P. M. service he will preach his famous baseball sermon. The choir of the church will sing at both services, and the Happy Pal's Orchestra will render a short sacred program at the evening service. Dr. Williams leaves Monday for Huntington, W. Va., the seat of the annual conference, which will hold its sessions in Dr. Miles Mark Fisher's church. From Huntington he goes to Chicago, Ill., and Omaha, Neb., to make addresses.

How to Play BRIDGE Series 1929-30 by Wynne Ferguson Author of "PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE" The problems of the play of the hand are very different, according to the hand of the player. In the example hands, two in defense and one in offense that will repay careful study; Hearts — K, 9, 3 Clubs — J, 6 Diamonds — 7, 5 Spades — A, 10, 9, 8, 3, 2 No score, rubber game. Z dealt and passed. A and Y passed and B bid one trump. All passed and Z opened the ten of spades. A played the four, Y the jack and B won the trick with the king. B, holding the ace queen of diamonds in his own hand, now led out four diamond tricks, so Z was forced to make two discards. His first discard is a high heart, to show his partner that he has a trick in the heart suit. What should be his second discard? If Z discards a club on this trick, B will score game, for he will lead the queen of clubs from dummy, having Hand Hearts — Clubs — Diamonds Spades — No score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid one trump. A passed, Y bid two hearts and B passed. Z bid two no trumps and all passed. A opened the five of spades. Y played the eight, B the king and Z won the trick, with the ace. Z now held five of the hearts. What is A's proper play? Should he play a low heart or play the queen? Think this over carefully and consider the bidding, before reading further. If Z had held three hearts or more, it is more than probable that he would have passed Ys two-heart bid. The fact that he has has only two hearts, indicates that he has only two hearts. It is unlikely that he has a singleton for, if he had, he would probably not have bid a trump in the first place. Good players always avoid a no trump bid if their hand contains a void Hand Hearts — Clubs — 9 Diamonds Spades — Hearts — 5, 4 Clubs — 7, 6, 2 Diamonds — 5, 5 Spades — A, K, J, 10, 6, 4 Hearts — Clubs — Diamonds Spades — Hand No. 3 Hearts — J, 10, 3 Clubs — 9, 8, 5 Diamonds — Q, 7, 6 Spades — 7, 5, 2 Hearts — 5, 4 Clubs — 7, 6, 2 Diamonds — 8, 5 Spades — A, K, J, 10, 6, 4 Hearts — A, 9, 6, 2 Clubs — A, K, Q, 3 Diamonds — A, 9 Spades — Q, 9, 3 No score, rubber game. Z dealt, bid one no trump and all passed. A opened the ace of spades, Y played the deuce, B the eight and Z the nine. The lead of an ace at a no trump, bid, ask for partners' highest card, so B's play of the eight indicated to A that B held no higher spade. Hearts — J, 10, 3 Clubs — 9, 8, 5 Diamonds — Q, 7, 6 Spades — 7, 5, 2 Hearts — K, Q, 8, 7 Clubs — J, 10, 4 Diamonds — K, J, 8, 3 Spades — 8 any defense. Before reading further, figure out Z's proper play. He should first play out four rounds of clubs. On the third club lead B should discard the seven of hearts. On the fourth club trick A should discard a spade. Y a diamond and B the trey of diamonds. Z, however, was a clever player so decided to deceive A, if possible. He played the nine of spades so that A was unable to determine where the trey of spades was. If B held it, Z's queen must fall, so A led the king of spades. On this trick, B should have discarded the ten of spades, so what appeared to be a winning trick so he discarded the four of clubs. As a result, A received no information as to B's strong suit and decided not to guess, so led the jack of spades, forcing Z in the lead. B discarded the four of diamonds. Z can now score game against According to a Russian scientist, there is a certain rhythm to the movements of the human eye as well as to those of the heart. It roves back and forth at the rate of about 100 movements a minute. Under normal conditions—that is, in quiet, familiar surroundings—the eyes remain at rest for a few seconds. But soon they resume their usual movements, sometimes from one side to another, sometimes up and down. It is believed by evolutionists that this characteristic restlessness of the eye is a throwback to primitive times when man's ancestors had to be constantly on the watch for danger.—Washington Star. The ancient tradition common among all primitive peoples of a worldwide flood is now thought by scientists to have been sound. The cause of the ocean's rise may have been the melting of the ice cap at the North pole at the end of the last ice age, which occurred about 2000 years ago. According to Sir Edgworth David, famous Australian geologist, the level of the entire ocean would be raised about fifty feet if the whole Antarctic ice barrier melted. Practically every seaport town would then be under water. The junior partner had been on a visit to a distant branch office, and was giving his father a full account of the day's doings. "The manager there," he said, "is a self-opinionated ass. He takes too much on himself, so I gave him to understand he must get authority from here instead of acting too much on his own." "Yes," remarked the senior, "I gathered as much. Here's a telegram from him." The wire ran: "Bad gas escape in the office. Please wire instructions." Hearts — Q, J, 8, 4 Clubs — Q, 10, 9, 3 Diamonds — K, J, 9, 8 Snares — 4 Hearts — K, Q, 7 Clubs — 8, 5 Diamonds — 10, 6, 5 Spades — J, 9, 7, 5, 2 Restless Eyes World Flood Obedient ARTICLE No.7 won the fourth diamond trick in A's hand, and, as Y has the king, it will be captured. Z's proper discard on this trick is the deuce of spades, so that if B leads the queen of clubs from A's hand, Y can cover and thus make Z's jack of clubs good on the second round of that suit. This seems like a simple play, but just watch how often players will discard from jack small of a suit and thus fail to protect their partner's holding. Study this hand carefully until you realize the necessity for holding clubs. suit or a singleton. The conclusion is, therefore, that Z has exactly two hearts. If A should play the queen of hearts, therefore, all Z would have to do to make four heart tricks would be to refuse to win the first trick. Then as soon as you win the second trick, then as soon as his second heart, finesses the jack and so win the next four heart tricks. A can block this pretty little play, however, by playing the seven of hearts on the second trick. If Z plays the jack from Y's hand, it will win the trick, but the only other heart trick he can win is the ace. A must win. If Z plays the jack from Y's heart as the hand contains no re-entry card. This play, also, looks simple, but notice how frequently a player will split his equals when he can only lose by so doing. d No. 3 - J, 10, 3 9, 8, 5 ls — Q, 7, 6, 2 - 7, 5, 2 Hearts — K, Q, 8, 7 Y : Clubs — J, 10, 4 B : Diamonds — K, J, 8, 3 Z : Spades — 8 - A, 9, 6, 2 - A, K, Q, 3 ls — A, 9 - Q, 9, 3 any defense. Before reading further, figure out Z's proper play. figure out Z's proper play: He should first play out four rounds of the game, the club lead B should discard the seven of hearts. On the fourth club trick A should discard a spade, Y a diamond and B the trey of diamonds. Z should now lead the deuce of hearts, play the ten from Y's hand and B must win the trick with the queen. B must now lead a diamond or a heart. If the former, Z lets the queen win in Y's hand and then leads the jack of hearts. If B should lead back a heart instead of a diamond, Z should let the jack of hearts, and then the reult of the heart, capturing B's king. Played in this way, B must win a diamond trick. In any event, Z must score at least three odd, game and rubber. It is a pretty hard to play and one well worthy of closest study. Holland's Independence An error often made is to attribute Dutch success in the war for independence too much to William and to Dutch pluck and endurance. Both these were inestimable factors in the defeat of Spain. But William died 25 years before Dutch independence was recognized and Maurice of Orange and Oldenburg must both be given their due for their work after his death. Nor must Spanish inefficiency and poverty be forgotten. A Spanish captain once said: "If death had to come from Spain we would be sure of a long life," and twice Philip had to repudiate his national debt—New York Herald Tribune. Danger From Marchers The director of the Engineering societies library says that soldiers marching in step across a bridge might cause failure of the bridge due to too great a load or due to vibration. If the type is known, together with certain other details of its construction, it is possible for a bridge engineer to calculate whether or not the bridge will break. It is sometimes possible to produce oscillations in a bridge by men marching in step, and these oscillations may be sufficient cause to break down the bridge. In 1850 a suspension bridge at Angers, France, gave way when 487 soldiers were marching over it and 226 were killed. Three-Minute Egg A Detroit woman who put in a long distance telephone call wanted to talk only three minutes. She decided to time herself with a contrivance used for timing eggs being boiled.

Guard Against Icebergs The international ice patrol was organized on an international basis as a result of the international conference for the safety of life at sea, in London, 1913. It resulted from a universal demand for a protection of steamships against icebergs in the North Atlantic area after the loss of the Titanic, in April, 1912. The United States was asked to undertake the management of this service, and agreed to send two vessels to patrol the danger area during iceberg season, March 1 to July 1. Each of the contracting parties consented to bear a share of the cost in proportion to its shipping tonnage. Rickets Old Disease Rickets, the 'disease of childhood which deforms the bones, is thought by modern science to be caused by faulty nutrition and lack of sunlight. Nevertheless, recent discoveries show that the babies of primitive man, as well as those of the ancient dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, suffered as much from rickets as do young children of today. Egyptian mummies and the bones of early American Indians, as well as the primitive religious paintings, disclose the prevalence of the disease.—New York World. Owe "Dailies" to War The Civil war revolutionized the habits of the people, writes Warren F. Spalding in the Boston Transcript. All their movements, mental and physical, were quickened. Having had the news of the war day by day, they never returned to the old ways. The daily newspaper was the child of the Civil war. People became accustomed to having news every day. They found that other things' were interesting, and they must have the news about everything every day; the daily newspaper had become indispensable.

"Martha, is it possible you are thinking of getting married?" said her mistress. "Yes, ma'am," admitted Martha. "Not to that young fellow who has been calling on you lately?" "Yes, ma'am, he's the one." "But you've only known him a few days." "Three weeks come Thursday," corrected Martha.

Literary Gems in Heap When the late Sir Edmund Gosse, whose valuable collection of English plays of the Restoration period was so well known among scholars, once was searching the shelves of a Soho bookshop he found a stack of old plays, of which the bookseller was anxious to get rid. “There were,” said Gosse, “treasures lying in that ignominious heap, and if I had only had it in my pocket what a single one of those plays would fetch today, I might have got off laden with spoil. There were things lying there which, in all the 0. years since, I have never cast my eyes on again. I emptied my poor purse, however so its utmost penny.” —Detroit News. NO 6 Present Wanted. .....

(Herbert Photos, New York, N.Y.) Editorlai Page THE PLANET Editor FULL VALUE RECEIVED FOR OUR DOLLARS After years of beating around the economical bush the Negro leaders in America have somewhat suddenly come to realize the seriousness of our economic plight. Not only have we lost in a number of lines of employment, but the competition with white wage-earners have become keener than ever before. Twenty years ago the barber trade, the hotel employment, the building trades in some sections, the livery and drayage business, bootblacking and public labor were fields for the Negro journeyman. Today they are commanded by native and foreign white workers. Even in the South honest sweat has become honorable on Caucasian brows and white men are driving garbage wagons, an un- WILL HOOVER APPOINT COL. HENRY W. AN- DERSON? President Hoover will at an early date have to appoint another member to the U. S. Supreme Court on account of the death of Mr. Justice Sanford. Among the mass of names that have been offered is Colonel Henry W. Anderson, leader of the Republican party of Virginia. There is little doubt but that Colonel Anderson is well qualified in legal attainments; but whether he has judicial temperament is one that will certainly have to go the hustings. Colonel Anderson is best known to our group as the founder of the Lily White methods of Virginia. And to the public the villifier of the Democratic party and champion of Republican principles (?). We are not willing to wager just what the President will do, but it is a foregone conclusion that the Negroes of Virginia will TWO BIG SHIP AND YA Published every Saturday by R. C.

Is it too late? Have we dozed while the horse has been stolen and only now can rush out and lock the stable door? It is not that hopeless, procided we bestir ourselves and use our full energies and resources. We must become better workers and employees by becoming more reliable, intelligent and diligent. And then we must learn to use the income of our employment so that it will return a dollar's value for a dollar spent. We must spend our money where it counts most. Every other group does that. It is no more than natural, and predominating fair-minded Americans will concede. T raise their weak voices against him, as a matter of principle anyhow, whether it will be heard. Colonel Anderson has been, in the opinion of many, the most brutal political enemy of the Negro in Virginia of any of the present Republican leaders. His methods have been almost beyond compare in human history in his handling of a loyal group of people have have known only one party in the past. If encouraging in spirit the violation of certain sections of the constitution on account of color is a qualification for the Supreme Court, then Colonel Anderson will be nominated by acclamation. The conservative Negro of the South knows and realizes the political conditions of the South, and consequently respects them. But when a person uses brute force to carry out political principles, we believe they violate the letter and the spirit of our American institutions, of which voting is a very sacred factor. And we don't believe that our President will endure such. D YACHT BUILDERS: VALLEY NEWS . LEXINGTON, VA. Rev.

There isn't a doubt, however, that the Robot would, so far as baking is concerned, follow the instructions of the modern housekeeper to use Rumford the all phosphate baking powder. Every mother knows how important a part fresh milk plays in the diet of a growing child. Rumford, in hot breads and cake, works to the same end—building strong bones and teeth, developing proper nerve tissue. For Rumford contains phosphate of calcium in great quantity. In fact, two Rumford biscuits contain more of this valuable compound than does a large glass of milk. And remember that it takes fifty quarts of milk to equal the phosphate content of a one-pound can of Rumford. (Herbert Photos, New York, N. Y.)

Mr. Walldron Jones, alumnus of the school, is planning to present a minstrel show in near future to save the Echo. Mr. Jones deserves much credit for his interest in the school, and he should be some inspiration to the Senior Class who has taken no action whatever to save the Echo. The Post-Teacher Association met at the school Monday evening. Business of vital importance was transacted. Basketball has already gotten under way on the yards at the school. The boys and girls play one eye to create a ball daily to create the thunks. The basket ball team's stars at the tournament were Dunnings, Dawson and R. Brent. Lean on your oars and rest awhile.

Top Market Cash Prices Paid COMMUNITY LEAGUE HAS ANOTHER LARGE MEETING Vocational Training and Better Buildings Discussed The Community League of Staunton, which in reality is a parent-teachers' association, met Monday night at the Booker T. Washington High School. Another large crowd was present, when considering the crowds that have attended such affairs in the past. The meeting last Monday night was the fourth to be held, and each meeting shows a great interest of the citizens. Among the more important things discussed was better school buildings. It was brought out in the meeting by members that D. Webster Davis School was overcrowded, and that he physical equipment at Booker T. Washington was in a bad way, cracking walls, ungraded yard and other defective surroundings. It was brought out in the meeting that this building was built fifteen years ago as a kind of temporary affair, in order to move the school from its former location at Frederick and Central Avenue, which is now in the center of the city. From authentic sources came the information that nothing had been done to the building teh past fifteen years. The League went on record as favoring sending its Executive Committee, which is composed of Emmette Hill, in Dr. Stuart Scott, John Miller, Jefferson Bryant and J. Eda Brooks, to the School Board with an appeal for better equipment in the Negro schools. As the new millennial, Billar Robert E. Lee High School is now up and the athletic field is about completed, it was thought by the League that this would be an opportune time to make the appeal. The members of the League showed a willing spirit when it was of the opinion that the community would in all probability be asked to shoulder part of the burden, as the appeal was not given any consideration by the authorities. Another question that was thoroughly discuss- ed was the advisability by all means to try and have some vocational training placed in the schools by the coming fall term. Speakers voiced the approval of such a move in the highest terms, the community has begun to realize that a boy or girl who emerges from high school with only a classical training and who expects to enter life with this training alone is sadly handicapped. Such vocational trades, as automobile mechanics, painting and paper-hanging for the boys and women, and advocating for the girls, was advised by practically everyone present. This awakensinf of the Staunton public to the economic needs of boy or girl coming out is a new move in community co-operation. The League expects to have a big mass meeting sometime in April. At that time some speaker of national importance will speak. Dean Kelley Miller and former National Committeeman Perry E. Howard, of Mississippi, have been approached.

Luke Jones, assisted by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Leona Hickman. "An ingenuous American," says Dr. Joseph Lobel, in "Don't Be Afraid," "has characterized fear . . . as a 'domestic sport.' Just as in various games we expose ourselves to danger, knowing with certainty that we shall escape, just as we enjoy the pleasant ticklish feeling that ensues as a result of this combination of sensations, 'no,' says he, 'we often create for ourselves, out of a pure desire for sensation, the pleasurant of dread.' "It is not man alone who sets out to learn how to shudder. The mother who sits on the couch anxiously awaiting her boy's return from school, is doing the same thing. She surrenders herself to feelings of anxiety and pictures his having fallen into the water. In reality, she feels nothing of the kind. Otherwise she would have rushed long ago to the water, instead of sitting quietly on the couch, indulging, pleasantly, in feelings of apprehension. "But pleturing to herself all the dangers in which her son may have fallen, she is unconsciously enjoying herself. Out of the everyday, monotonous home-coming of her youngster, she has created a dramatic event. She will welcome him with a sigh of relief and happiness when he crosses the threshold just as she had really been expecting him to arrive, safe and sound." American Elk Splendid The American elk, or wapiti, is the most beautiful and stately of all the deer tribe. He is not actually an elk, for the name really belongs to the elk of Europe, an animal very closely related to our moose. Some of the Indian tribes called hlm wapiti, and we might well let it go at that, believing that it is a good name, writes Arthur Newton Pack in Nature Magazine. At any rate, when I first saw one of these great, tall antlered bulls looking at me as I crept to the edge of the lick, my heart certainly went wapiti wapiti wapiti. I remembered that once—once upon a time—these handsome fellows had ranged from the Atlantic slope to the Rocky mountains and beyond to the very Pacific; but now there were but few left and most of those were here in the Rocky mountain woods. While the elk are content to stay in the mountains during the summer, the deep winter snows drive them down to the valleys, where men make fences out of piled antlers. Death by Sunshine Sunshine, the great cure-all and life-giver, is a paradox in one case at least. Through the medium of the geranium it spells death to insects. Insects which are attracted by the leaves of this beautiful plant feast upon them and then drop paralyzed and usually die. Where the sun comes in is indicated by the fact that the deaddiness of the poison depends upon the amount of exposure to the sun of the plant, those of longest exposure being the deadliest. This discovery has opened up a new field in the study of insecticides and experiments are being pushed to determine what the death-dealing agent may be. New England's Impress New England has left a deep impress upon the Pacific Northwest, Isaac L. Stevens, first territorial governor of Washington, was a Massachusetts man. Veneration for New England traditions and culture has found expression in the Northwest region in various ways, notably in the names bestowed upon the public schools. In Spokane, for instance, there are the Webster, the Adams, the Emerson, the Hawthorne, the Holmes, the Longfellow, the Lowell, the Stevens, the Whittier and others.—Spokane Spokesman-Review. Nature's Habits What a creature of habit, too, nature is as she appears in the weather! If she miscarry once she will twice or thrice, and a dozen times. In a wet time it rains today because it rained yesterday, and will rain tomorrow because it rained today. Are the crops in any part of the country drowning? They shall continue to drown. Are they burning up? They shall continue to burn. The elements get in a rut and can get out without a shock—John Burroughs. Longeat Lived Animal A giant tortoise that was an intimate of the great Napoleon is still living on the island of St. Helena, says T. G. Boulenger, director of the London zoo, in Animal Mysteries. Tortoises attain a greater age than any other animal. Several of these creatures, weighing over 550 pounds each, owned by Lord thothsbeld, the banker, were close on three centuries old when scientific claims put an end to their protracted existence. No Editorial Comment When the Dally Courant, London's first successful daily newspaper, appeared in 1702, it consisted of a single page of two columns and professed to give only foreign news. It assured its readers that it would not give any comments of its own, "supposing other people to have sense enough to make reflections for themselves." The Courant came to an end in 1735, when it was absorbed in the Daily Gazetteer.—Detroit News. Rickshaw Drawing Not Heavy Physical Labor Adolph Bassler, director of the physiological institute of the SunYat San university in Canton, China, recently made some interesting observations on the rate of work performed by a cookie drawing a rickshaw. This form of running is peculiar in that the force exerted is practically all forward. The arms are held by the shafts of the vehicle, and since the vehicle's center of gravity is over the axle, the cookie does not have to exert any upward force. The work he does is consequently the same as if he were pulling a weight by a cord running over a pulley. It was found that the rickshaw coolie run from four to six miles an hour, consuming during fast locomotion about one-tenth of a horse power—the same, that is, as if he were drawing five and a half pounds one foot in each second. This is over and above the amount of work the coolie would do while running at the same pace without pulling the loaded vehicle. The expenditure of energy is much less than that of the oarsmen in a university boat race. Italians Lay Claim to It is a little over three hundred years ago since the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers received its charter from Charles I and the tercentary is soon to be commemorated. but is it quite correct to speak of it as being the tercentary of spectacles? Among the lesser sights of Florence is a house which bears a tablet affixed "to honor the memory of Salvino Degil Armati, inventor of spectacles in the Thirteenth century." Strangely enough, although our own spectacle makers' guild had its charter in 1629, we find Peyns, nearly forty years afterward, complaining of his eyesight. He adds: "I am mighty hot upon trying the late experiment of paper tubes." If the Italian claim is authentic, it seems inconceivable that the boon of spectacles should have taken another three centuries to reach us—Montreal Family Herald. President's Wives Smoked Mrs. Zachary Taylor, wife of the twelfth President, was a pipe smoker. She was known to smoke a pipe occasionally in private while she was mistress of the White House. Mrs. Andrew Jackson, wife of the seventh President, also was a pipe smoker, but she died soon after her husband's election and consequently never presided over the executive mansion. James Parton, Jackson's biographer, says it was not uncommon for Jackson and his wife to sit for hours smoking their pipes before their fire in the Hornitage, near Nashville. — Kansas City Times. Deadly White Ants The United States exports iron telegraph poles to South Africa. Wood is abundant and cheaper, but it would be quickly destroyed by the powerful jaws of the terrible white ants. In Ceylon black "army" ants marched on the warpath A scientist counting them, found 300,000 soldiers in one army, marching in companies about twenty acreast, with officers running up and down the line keeping order. Let a horse or man break a leg and fall in the path of army ants, and in a few hours only a skeleton is left, according to Prof. J. Arthur Thomson in "Outline of Science." Bunyan's Flute While John Bunyan, who wrote Pilgrim's Progress, was in prison his jailors heard music coming from his cell. They decided to take away his instrument, but the music ceased as they drew near the cell, and they could find nothing to show how the music was made. From time to time the music sounded, but only Bunyan and his book were found. What had happened was that Bunyan had made a flute from a loose rail of his stool, and on hearing the goaler's step he would slip it back into its place and pore over his book. Too True There had been another quarrel in the Spatts' menge, and Spatt sat glowering at the evening paper. Mrs. Spatt hated him for his silence. "Furthermore," she began again, "you certainly aren't much of a husband." The man threw down his paper and regarded the woman he had led to the altar appraisingly. "Well, my dear," he said wearily, "I think I can truthfully say you're a lot of a wife." "Warden of Life" It was in 1912 that Casmir Murk, at that time associated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, said, "There is a force that exercises vital guardianship over the nutritive processes by which inert food material is translated into human feeling, thought and action. That force I call vitamin, because it is the warden of life—because it is necessary to life." Flattery Unprofitable Flattery is a man-invented commodity which may have a few uses, but does have many more abuses. "Hot alr" may get you for a while. But it is like counterfeit money, soon discovered and then worth nothing but contempt.—Grit. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` HARRY WILLS= "BLACK PANTHER" HARRY STARTED HIS CAREER BACK IN 1911—FOUGHT ALL HEAVYWEIGHTS WHO DARED TO FACE HIM—HIS CAREER WAS PRACTICALLY ENDED WHEN PAOLINO AIDED BY FATHER TIME MOWED HIM DOWN IN THE 4TH RD.

You know the self-same thing was started a few years ago when Harry Wills was pronounced the logical contender for the heavy-weight crown after a stormy battle. But they could never persuade Dempsey to fight Willi. Father time proclaim the great colored fighter. Thus Willi was a victim of circumstances, and was never given the chance to prove his ability as a fighter. Now it seems that Godfrey will fare the same way and all of this talk about compelling Carnera to fight Godfrey is only something to satisfy the public and after all is said and done Godfrey will remain the uncrowned heavy champion of the world, and in due time Father Floating Service MIAMI. FLA.--For years wealthy Americans who whited away their summer leisure off Bar Harbor and the Grand Banks, and in winter sailed the Gulf Stream around Miami and the Florida Keys, were often hard put to find pure water, gasoline and oil for their palatial yachts. In recent years these difficulties have gradually disappeared and today floating service stations which purvey fuel, lubricants and supplies to yachts and pleasure craft are becoming a familiar part of the marine scenery in the SPORT NEWS Time will claim him as he did Harry Wills. I do hope this will not happen. All records show that Godfrey is the logiciel contender for the heavy-weight crown. Here is a list of some of the good fighters Godfrey has won. Tiny Jim Hermman, Sully Montgomery, Bob Lawson, Jack Tendsend, Cowboy Billy Owens (twice) Larry Gains. Here is a list of K. O's, victims summing nineteen in 1927, Jimmy Malony, Ralph Smith, Tony Funte, Jack Reper, (twice), Chivalier, Jack Neal, Clisby Henry Van Patten, Monte Munn, Tom Sayers, Clom Johnson, Jack Townsend, Larry Gains, Cowboy Owens, Solder Jones, (twice), Andrew Dervoy. From this list of K. O's, you can see what a chance this Guy Carnera would have with Godfrey if it was possible to stage the bout.

They supply gasoline, kerosene lubricants, distillate fuels for oil burning Diesel engines, grease, soap, disinfectants and drinking water certified by the health department. "A feature of these service boats is bo K that they enclose around and deliver supplies to yachts at their moorings in the harbor. Hose lengths of forty feet carry fuel to the tanks of the yacht from the pumps of the supply boat, which are electrically operated. To prevent scraping and rubbing paint off the yacht while the fusing operation is taking place the supply boats are equipped with rope tenders around their sides.

OMEGAS DOWN KAPPAS IRENE RESTING UP-FOR HOLLYWOOD IRENE RESTING UP-FOR HOLLYWOOD Sleep is especially necessary after the hard work of the theatre. Miss Irene Delroy, the vivacious star of "Top Speed," one of the season's hits on Broadway is shown about to take a restful trip to slumberland on the Steamship Beautyrest. Singing alone is considered tiring but when dancing and acting are added, the work of a musical comedy star becomes strenuous enough to be classed with the hardest jobs of working men. In a first rate show, this is not limited to the eight performances a week but is augmented by many long hours of rehearsal. Miss Delroy is wearing the latest mode in pajamas, a lounging ensemble in cocoa brown rayon jersey banded in orange and fashioned with a tuck-in, sleeveless blouse of orange rayon jersey. This smart little costume for leisure hours has adopted the higher waist line and the hip sash. Simplicity of design is relieved by the novel motif which trims the front of the blouse; and by the smartness of the color combination. Experience in the theatre with costumes has made Miss Delroy careful in her choice of fabrics for long wear and frequent washing. Clothes never get such hard wear as theatrical costumes, which, while they must be dainty and fresh at all times, undergo the most exacting wear; they are subject to dirt and grease paint, necessitating frequent cleaning and washing and mending. Her charming bedroom shown above with pale green and pink rayon drapes and bed-spreads forms a fitting background for the lovely Miss Delroy and her dainty garments. Broadway is about to lose this leading lady as she will soon depart for the West Coast to star in talking pictures, the first of which will be "See Naples and Die." Washington. D.

The Omega team showed complete mastery over their opponents throughout the entire game as indicated by the score at half time of 14-6. "Sally" Hall, varsity forward, measured up to expectations in scoring 6 baskets and 2 fouls to win high score honors at 14 points. The only other field goal gathered by Kappas during entire game was won by Harris, who matched the score with a team after ten minutes play in the first half. Hall was unable to score his first shot until 5 minutes later. Coats, former varsity star, played forward for the Omegas, scoring 4 baskets and one foul to take second high score honors with 9 points, with Harris, varsity captain playing guard and Cobb, at forward on the Omega team tieing with 8 points each. force this bout or proclaim Godfrey the heavy-weight class of fighters. I am of the same opinion as the majority of sport writers, is that Father Time will proclaim the great fighter before the Boxing C-mission make up their mind that Godfrey is the best man in the heavy-weight class and should be given a chance to wear the heavy-weight crown. I congratulate the New York Daily Mirror the fairness they have shown in trying to show the public how our boys are sidetracked and never given the chance to make good. It is the right course to take, and therefore a good chance for Godfrey and the only Northampton, Mass (CNS)—Miss Harriet Pickens, the daughter of Mr. William Pickens, field secretary for the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, and Mrs. Pickens, was one of six students to receive the "S" pin, the highest award of the Smith College Athletic Association.

She is the first colored girl to receive this honor at Smith. Miss Pickens has led in basket ball thru her four years at Northampton College. She was graduated from Wadleigh High School in New York City. She intends to study medicine after graduation.

It is not inconceivable that the lovable hero of Washington Irving's legend may have scrambled over the caverns' rocky roof in his eagerness to get out of earshot of Dame Van Winkle's tongue. But existence of the cavern, regarded by geologists as a twin-wonder to Niagara Falls, did not become known to the white man in his lifetime. Howe Caverns remained unexplored until recently, because of its extreme inaccessibility.

Harvey, director in charge of the scientific laboratory of Montgomery Ward & Co., announced recently in presenting his report of hatching tests carried on in the laboratory over a period of two years. "Decreasing the mortality rate of baby-chicks has been one of the major problems of the laboratory." Dr. Harvey said. "More than a thousand chicks have been hatched, with the automatic turner, to test the relation of proper turning to the mortality rate. "Hens are not always ideal mothers. They accidentally break many eggs and often prove temperamental and irresponsible. And they cannot catch all the eggs required in the modern market. But the principles which the hen uses in hatching her eggs, ever her casual movements, have been WHAT'S IN A NAME HUDSON SEAL SORTING AND GRADING A CHOICE ENGINEER OR MOSCHETTS TO BE MADE into Hudson Seal Pools are proud of their southern lineage. Badgers stay close to their northern climes, Coyotes are exclusively western. But there's one all-American fur-bearing animal—the muskrat! He inhabits every state in the union and every province of Canada, indiscriminately from the Gulf of Mexico to Baffin Bay. The unobtrusive little brown animal is known as the most versatile and most valuable of all ful-bearers on this continent, according to Stanley T. Keshen, vice-president of A. B. Shubert, Inc., the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw fur. "The value to American trappers of an average season's catch of muskrat is from seven to eight million dollars." Mr. Keshen told a group of manufacturers at a furrier's meeting in Chicago to the modern vogue for Hudson seal, muskrat is more in demand this season than ever before. The small brown skins have been increasing in popularity from the time when it was discovered that they ```markdown ``` EOS "Proper ventilation, tide, and humidity, taken care of by nature in the ruining of the hairy mammals, her body temperature, and her movements on and off the nest have been determined with scientific exactness in the new incubators. "It is vital to the life of a baby-chicken that the egg be placed with the big end up, that it be turned twice a day, and kept at an angle. The hen's nest with its sloping sides permits the egg to lie in the correct angle, and the hen settling off and coming back to the hen nests turn the eggs. By means of this new turning device, entire treaty of eggs in incubator may be turned at one time, with no difficulty and with no danger that any of the eggs will fail to be turried. "The same degree of ventilation permitted by the ruffling of the feathers of the natural hen mother is preserved in the modern incubator, and the temperature of the artificial nest is that that is found in the hen." ME? MUSKRAT AS L. PROVES WORTH could be made to bear such a striking resemblance to the valuable Alaska seal. As Hudson seal, the time and worth of the American Muskrat have spread until today Hudson seal has an unequalled prestige among furriers. And the easily trapped prolific muskrat has become the steadiest and most profitable source of income to the American trapper. "The art of shearing and dyeing muskrat, changing it to Hudson seal, reveals the most advanced skill of the American furrier and stylist. From six to eight weeks are required to complete the shearing and dyeing of one skin, and the muskrat is handled to forty times before it is ready for matching with the fifty to seventy other skins required for one garment. "Only the best grades of the best sections producing muskrat are used for the fashionable Hudson seal. But the uses for all grades of muskrat are practically limitless. Thousands of pets are used annually for coat and glove lintings, for trimmings, caps, and hats. Some of the finer fetals are made from muskrat." 1 e MOORE ST.

A fine, C cold rain had ben falling since midnight, and as it was not late enough in the fall for our furnace to be coing, the breakfast room was a little uncomfortable. “1 glanced up now and then as he impatiently tore through his newspaper and tried to eat grape fruit at the same time. “What's the matter, dear?” I asked as sweetly as I could. “Nothing!” he growled, looking blackly over the morning Times. “Oh, yes there is,” Iinsisted. “Please tell me.” “Well,” he relented, dropping the paper and revealing his careworn countenance, “I’ve just got to sell out that garage by next week. The mortgage is due and I haven’t the money to meet it. Business has been discouragingly poor, and I guess a big place like that was a little too much for me to handle anyway. I’ve been expecting a man in town from Louisville to look it over with a view to purchase, but he hasn’t arrived and naturally I’m worried half sick about it.” im so sorry, noney, 4 COMOri ed.

But VUnarles bad never been in the habit of telling me anything about his busi- ness. He was ard is the old fashioned type of husband: believes the wife's place is in the home; that husbands should only be interested in their business affairs. Moreover, he is in- sanely jealous. I believe he is one of the most jealous men in the world. Although I have shown him in ev- ery way during the ten years of our married iife that I care only for him, he continues to be jealous and ready to flare up at the least little matter. He is short, dark and serious; a good provider and an exceptionally dutiful husband, but he has annoyed me ter- ribly at times with his jealous rages. i dare not ever be seen with another man, for he nas seriously warned-me against it. It is all very silly, of course, be- cause it is inevitable in this day and time for a wife to have some ac- quaintances and friends among the men of the community.

When he married me I was the belle of Louisville and considered one of the most beautiful girls in the Negro community. My friends assure me that after ten years of married life I have iost little of my comeli- ness. Iam very fair, with dark brown hair, large and lustrous black eyes, have a very fine, smooth skin, and am still quife slender and_ active. Charles worships me. And I always vowed to do nothing to arouse his fierce jealousy. It is thrilling to be loved by a man like that, but then, it is also some- times annoying.

I hardly recognized him after eleven years. He is, if anything, more distinguished-looking than he was when he ardently paid court to me in Louisville, before I married Charles, what with his aristocratic comp‘ex- ion, graying temples, soft vibrant voice and elegant manners. I almost fainted with surprise. “Betty Foster!” he gasped, grip- ping my hand and gazing down ad- miringly at me. “Wherever in the world have you been?” “Not Betty Foster any more,” I chided him, “but Mrs, Charles Bundle. You must know that I’m married” “Oh, yes. Of course. How stupid of me to forget,” he admitted, still holding my gloved hand. There was a tone of regret in his voice and a certain wistfui look in his eyes. He suddenly dropped my hand like an awkward boy. “It doesn’t seem eleven years have passed,” he said reminiscently. “To me it was only yesterday that we used to take those long walks of a summer evening together, swinging hands, or ge for a spin around the country roads in my old freak Ford. By golly, those were happy days for ‘me, Betty! What a lucky devil Bundle was to get you.” “But remember, you went away and was gone a year when I married,” I reminded him, I thought I saw the smooth, rich brown skin of his face flush faintly as I said it. “Weil, let’s not talk about that,” he said, evidently pained. “I - - I had tc go, Business, ae know. And I wasn’t able to get back until after ey married and went away. God, what shock that was!” “Tt is probahly for the best,” I re- marked, as indifferently as I coud to conceal my emotion.

And as I looked ie into his earnest eyes I found mysel terrified by the thought that I still liked him. next to my husband, bet- ter than any man in the world. “Let's go down the street a piece ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 22, 1930 ‘He Warned Me Never to be Seen in Another Man’s Company, but --- : ai a h 7 Le Jes oa Bee =o] KO. | a eee -y a ee = etal pn “I had just left Milner’s when who should I bump into but Clarence Dilworth.” fand have a little lunch together for old time's sake,” he suggested, noting the awkwardaess of our position right in front ot the swinging doors of Mil- ner’s. Witheut a thought, I agreed. As if in celebration of che occasion, the fine rain and mist had made way for the warming rays of the sun and already the pavement was drying. The city smel'ed so clean and washed. The window displays seemed more, and more stunning, the smiles of the loi- terers and pedestrians more cheer- ful, the automobiles more shiny, the uoises of the city like a giant sym- phony. Arm and arm we tripped lightly down to Castle’s, a cozy tea- room on a side street, where palms ‘and bowers avout the tables give that privacy sc conducive to romance, At Castle's “Gee, but it’s good to sit opposite vou once again,” he remarked ardent- ly as we waited for our order. “I often thought about you wher I was in Texas—wondering where you were and what you were doing. i was too hurt to write when I heard you had married, and then I didn't know how Bundle would take it.” “Oh, he’s terribly jealous” I said, thinking for the first time that even then I was disobeying orders in hav- Bayer if you want the prompt, dependable relief that genuine Bayer Aspirin brings when people are in pain.

But he needn't wor- ry about me: I'll only be here for a day or two. I ran up to close a busi- ness deal.” While we talked, I couldn't help having a feeling of uneasiness. I was doing wrong, according to my hus- band’s standards. I knew he wculdn’t like it if he should find out that I kad had tea with Clarence Dilworth, of all men, but then, he would never know. That at least, was comforting. How charming and quaint it was in Castle's, sitting there with an old sweetheart I hadn't seen for eleven years, What tricks Fate plays! One can never tell what may happen. And yet it is the unexpected that makes life worth living; that presents the variety without which life is drab and spiceless. “What are you doing here?” The cold, hard tones of my husband startled me from my musing. He was standing opposite us, glaring malevo- lently down upon us- I was struck dumb. I tried to say something, but my voice failed me, at first. Terrified, I glanced from Clarence to Charles. The former was calm and coulected, my husband was plainly furious, his mouth twitching, his hands opening and closing, his eyes burning. “Charles,” I finally managed to blurt out, “this is Mr. Clarence Dil- worth of Louisville, Kentucky, a child- hood friend and general manager of the Kentucky Motor Ccmpany, one of the leadine Negro businesses, He's just in town to close & business deal. We just met in front of Milner’s and camera here to have a lunch and a Like a flash my husband’s demean- or changed. It was so amazing that 1 was swept practically off my feet. His face was wreathed with smiles and he held cut his hand eagerly. “By jove!” he almost chortled, “I’m certainly glad to see you Mr. Dil- worth. Been expecting you for some days.

Roderick Herrick, son of a Montana cattle rancher, has come to Chicago with the intention of entering the university. His friend, a lawyer named Martin Thompson, frags him to a party given by Alderman Durant for his lovely daughter Lyla. Rod's bashfulness, and his inability to dance well cause him to step on Lyla's foot, and her fiance, Reggie, makes an ugly remark. Lyla averts trouble by leading Rod into the garden where they quickly become friends as he tells her of his lonely life on the vast Montana ranges. Later in the evening, a number of young folks from the party go to the Swamp Hut, a notorious cabaret on the South Side, where Rod defends Lyla against Wolf, owner of the Swamp Hut, and a notorious gambler. After Rod has knocked Wolf out, and has driven his henchmen from the scene, Wolf regains consciousness, out is foiled in his attempt to shoot Rod, by Lyla's presence of mind. The police raid the place, but Rod escapes with Lyla and takes her home. Rod escapes with Lyla and the next day he meets Martin, but laughs the warning away. When he calls on Lyla that night, he meets her father, the Aderman, who also warns him against Wolf. Rod tells them that he can look out for himself. Lyla asks her father to get Rod a job, but Rod demurs. That evening Rod tells Lyla that he loves her. When he leaves her house and walks toward the street, he feels the sharp pressure of a gun in the middle of his back, and a gruff voice commands him to raise his hands. He complies and is pushed ahead toward a waiting car. CHAPTER III The Stormy Car THE GREAT SCHOLAR In April, 1919, Jack arrived in Mexico, where his fame was well known. During his stay in Mexico City, he became a close friend of Carranza, who was then president of Mexico. Carranza opposed Jack's fight with Willard in Mexico because Pancho Villa, the notorious bandit, financed it. But this did not prevent his personal admiration of Johnson. In April, 1919, Jack arrived in Mexico, where his fame was well known. During his stay in Mexico City, he became a close friend of Carranza, who was then president of Mexico. Carranza opposed Jack's fight with Willard in Mexico because Pancho Villa, the notorious bandit, financed it. But this did not prevent his personal admiration of Johnson. a document that contains information to be shared A Rod thought quickly, but the sharp pressure of the gun in his back forced him to enter the waiting car, whose door swung open with silent ominousness as he stepped on the running board. A shadowy figure sat at the far side of the machine, and as Rod sank down beside it, he felt another gun probe into his side. His other captor leaped into the machine and gave a curt order to the driver. The car roared away, careening recklessly down the street. Not till the machine was in motion did the other man in the seat with Rod speak. "So our little playmate is with us again," he observed, his voice softly dangerous. With a chill sense of foreboding, Rod recognized the voice of Wolf—not the snarling voice he had heard when they had fought in the Swamp Hut, but a silky, menacing voice which promised nothing but disaster. Wolf's gun prodded fiercely into Rod's ribs. His voice changed abruptly into a threatening growl: "Did you think you could get away with slugging me, big boy?" Wolf asked grimly, and without waiting for an answer, continued, "You or nobody else can do anything to me and get away with it." "And you can't get away with this," Rod answered, as calmly as he could. "Oho! So I can't eh?" Wolf demanded fiercely. "Well, you'll see! We are going to take you out into the country down a quiet little road I know, and then do you know what's going to happen to you?" Rod was silent. Wolf punched his gun into Rod's side again. "Answer me, d—n you!" he commanded. "No, I don't know what you are going to do, but I do know that you'll get in trouble about it." Wolf laughed raucously. "Trouble! Why, you big farmer, don't you know that I got drag enough to clear me out of any kind of trouble? Just to ease your little mind I'll tell you something. You'll never come back to tell anybody else, so it doesn't matter. I've got the bulls on my payroll, and guys higher up than flatties and dicks take my dough, too. And what for? Why, they see that I can do just about what I please in this man's town—see? A little matter like taking a nobody like you for a ride won't ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 22, 1930 even make a ripple." "Maybe you think it won't," said Rod, as he desperately sought a means to avert what terrible thing lay in store for him, "but it will My old man is one of the biggest cattle ranchers in Montana, and if anything happens to me he will turn the whole town over till he finds out about it." "Oh, yeah?" Wolf drawled maddeningly. "Is that so? Well, well, well. Thanks for telling me. Tell you what I'll do. After we take you out here and blow your smart head off I'm gonna send a message to your rich papa telling him that if he 'don't fork over $5,000 by telegraph immediately his handsome son will be killed. What do you think of that for an idea, big boy?" If it had not been for the knowledge that there was a gun poking into him on both sides, Red would have tried to throttle his tormentor. "I think it's a rotten idea!" he exclaimed furiously. "Nobody but a cheap rat like you would think of it!" Wolf cackled loudly. "Well listen to our big steer bellow! Calling me a rat just because I can use my brains. Now ain't that something?" During their conversation the big car had speeded through darkened streets, the houses of which grew steadily shabbier and further apart. As the streets became rougher, the machine bounced upon and down, but the driver did not slacken his mad pace. Wolf spoke again. "Well, bozo, it won't be long now." He nudged Rod suggestively with his weapon as he made his grim joke. "However, you don't need to worry because it's all over—except the shooting!" ROD REALIZES HIS PLIGHT The youth stiffened. He believed that his captors were serious about killing him. From what Martin had told him, and from the warning given him by Alderman Durant, the conclusion that Wolf would actually carry out his evil designs, was borne home to him with a sickening sense of horror. His mind darted over various expedients to escape, only to discard them with the dull knowledge that they were futile. He thought of Lyla, and knew a poignant sadness as he realized that he would probably never see her again. Then the thought came THE BAR During Jack's stay in Tia Juana, he met Tom Carey, a one-time candidate for mayor of Chicago. They were frequently together and largely through his benign influence Jack consented to surrender himself and serve his prison sentence. Jack realized that under no other terms could he enter America, so he left Tia Juana bound for Chicago. During Jack's stay in Tia Juana, he met Tom Carey, a one-time candidate for mayor of Chicago.

THE MEN IN THE CAR tc him that he would never see his father again—his big, gruff, hard father, who in spite of his harshness, loved his son dearly. What a blow it would be to the man who, despite his fifty years, was as active and tough as a man of 25. As the car jolted along, Rod was remembering the beauty of the rolling Montana hills and serried mountains ... the blue of the clear skies, ... and the friendliness of the people Not to see them again ... the thought made him desperate. He gathered his Did you think you could get a way with slugging me, big boy? A Jack landed at Joliet, Illinois, to avoid the great demonstration which had been arranged for him in Chicago. Newspaper reporters, photographers, and amusement promoters flocked about him and invaded his quarters in prison in order to interview him. The unjust prison term had merely added to the great fighter's popularity. muscles for a supreme effort of some kind. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he did know that he was going to attempt some effort to save his life. They were racing along at seventy miles an hour over the smooth concrete of a highway. Back of them the myriad lights of the city grew dim. The cold air snatched at them with icy fingers when, suddenly the driver slapped on his brakes. The machine swayed to a slower pace, then plunged off the concrete into what with slugging me, big boy?

Rod felt Wolf stir and sit slightly farther toward the edge of his seat. The man on Rod's other side leaned forward to put his hand on the handle of the door. The car crept along as if it were coming to a halt in another instant. (Continued on Page Four) Jack remained in the Joliet prison until October, 1920, when he was taken to Chicago for trial. Soon after the sentence he was placed in charge of a United States marshal and was accompanied by a friend to Leavenworth to begin the prison term of a year and a day. However, he was soon to learn that his stay there would be valuable to him. Jack remained in the Joliet prison until October, 1920, when he was taken to Chicago for trial.

YOUR FA vainly to shield his eyes from the blinding glare. Someone was opening the door. "Climb out!" a voice commanded. With raised hands the driver, Wolf, Rod and the other man got out of the machine. The bright light still blinded them. Rod felt hands searching through his pockets and patting him in search of weapons. He heard Wolf expostulating as someone evidently took his gun from him. "Who are you?" a stranger was demanding. "I'm Wolf Thomas. You'd better let me alone! Gimme my gun back!" "Sut up and be quiet, or I'll tap you one," one of the strange voices answered. The light was snapped off. After a bit, Rod saw that they were surrounded by a group of men who were busily searching them. The search finished, two of the men went to the car and searched it, throwing its cushions out on the ground. "You'd better tell me who you are," Wolf fumed. "I know my rights." A man, evidently the leader of their captors, flashed a small pocket lamp on his own breast, displaying a gold badge. "We're federal agents—prohibition department, Mr. Wolf," he informed him drily. "And if you've got any liquor in that car you're gonna go to headquarters." Seeing his chance, Rod spoke up quickly. "He was taking me for a ride, Mister—" "Don't pay that double crossing rat any mind," Wolf spoke hurriedly, "He's just afraid he may have to take a rap for this—" "Wait a minute—wait a minute," the government man ordered. He turned to Rod. "Now, what were you saying, young fellow?" "I said that this Wolf guy was taking me for a ride because I beat him up the other night." Rod explained breathlessly, "He said he was going to kill me when he got me out here—" "Don't listen to him," Wolf interrupted harshly. "I tell you he's just trying to get out of this." The men who had been searching the car returned to the group. "Didn't find any booze, chief," one of them announced. "Gimme my rod back." Wolf demanded. "You guys are gonna get in hot water about this. I've got drag—" "Shut you mouth!" the leader of the agents grated tersely, "and get back in that bus of yours and hit the concrete." Wolf's two henchmen started at once for their car as though they were relieved at the turn affairs had taken, but the gang leader was persistent. Grabbing Rod's arm he said with sham kindness, "Come on, kid. I'll forget your little stall. These guys aren't going to arrest you. Come on." Rod knocked his army away. "I'm not going with you!" he cried. "Do you think I'm a fool?" He turned to the federal men. "Please let me go with you fellows, or else stay here. I'm not telling a lie. This guy really wants to kill me!" "I believe this kid is telling the truth," the leader of the agents said. "You stay here with us," he bade Rod. Then he took a threatening step toward Wolf. "You get the hell on away from here, Mr. Tough Guy, or I'll give you something to yelp about!" "I'll make you lose your job," Wolf muttered, as he slunk sullenly toward his car. The man he addressed started toward him, but Wolf increased his pace and leaped into the machine, which began backing up with great rapidity. WIGS HAND MADE OF NATURAL HUMAN HAIR.

ROD RECEIVES AN OFFER On the way back to the city Rod related his encounter with Wolf to the federal agents. The leader laughed heartily at the recital. | “T’ve heard of this Wolf before,” he told Rod. “He's a tough customer, and the boys have kinda laid off of him because he’s got some sort of drag. However, I’m a special agent, and drag don’t go with me, and if it does with any of the other fellows I don’t know it. Our being out there on that little road tonight was a pure accident, enue We were laying for a gang of Italian rum runners when you fellows came along.” “Ym sure glad you came along,” Rod told him earnestly. “In about two minutes I guess those fellows would have shot me to death. But I'll bet they won't catch me napping again soon.” “Say,” said the leader of the agents suddenly, “how would you like to be an operative? You ought to make a good one, with those hard-hitting fists of yours.” Rod laughed. “Oh, I'd never make a good agent because I don’t much believe in the prohibition law. I think it has done a lot more harm than it has good.” “A lot of folks feel that way,” the officer told him, “but somebody's got- ta try to enforce it. And Age could do a lot of good out on the South Side. You might even catch your friend Wolf, and kinda even up the score between you.” “Yd rather not,” Rod demurred. “I don’t want to bother Wolf, but if he tries to harm me again I'll be ready for him. TI learned to handle a gun on the ranch, and I guess I can shoot iy food as the next one, if it comes to that.” “Well, don't go ee a gun in this town,” the agent advised. “That is, unless you get a permit, because it is a serious offense. But if you change your mind let me know. We'll be glad to get a guy like you.” | “Thanks,” Rod returned gratefully. “I sure will.” | By this time the agents’ car had again entered the city. In a few ‘minutes they had reached the down- town section. | “Where do you want to get, out, buddy?” ‘The driver asked Rod. | “Right here,” Rod told him as they swung down Michigan Boulevard. “Tl take a taxi from here.” As he climbed out of the agents’ car, the leader extended his hand. As ‘they shook hands he said, “Take care of yourself, kid, and if you ever get in a pinola, call our secret office.” He placed a small white card in Rod’s hand. “Thanks, I will. So long, and thanks for getting me out of that trouble,” Rod called, as the car moved away. A taxi pulled alongside of him. He waved it down, then climbed in and gave his address. Wee. Your Hair...

In spite of the danger which he had just experi- enced, he thought not o it, but of the girl and of what he must do in or- der to stay in the city. If he intendéd to enter school he would soon have to find a job of some kind, as he had but little money left, and he didn’t intend to call on his father for help. And neither, jhe decided, would he allow Alder- man Durant to get him a job. He'd |always managed to get what he ‘wanted by his own efforts, and he would keep on. The thought gave |him courage. As the taxi pulled up in front of his rooming house, Rod peered cau- | tously up and down the street. See- ing no sign of anyone who looked like the Wolf or any of his gang, he climbed out swiftly, paid the driver ,and dashed up the stairs. In a few minutes he had disrobed and climbed into bed. At once he fell into a sound, dreamless _ sleep from which he seemed to be imme- diately awakened to find his friend. | Martin, standing beside his bed shaking him. | “Gee, Roddy,” Martin accused him, (“it seems like all I do is to come laround and wake you up. - Were you up again all night?” Rod grinned ruefully. “Yeah, I was up almost ail night,” he yawned. |" “Doing what?” Martin asked curi- |ously. * “Oh, you'd be surprised,” Rod told him mysteriously.

Why, by this fall you'd have money to enter school, and a lot more." "Do you really think so, Martin?" Rod asked more seriously. "Nothing beats a trial but a failure," Martin quoted. "Well, I'll talk with him, anyway," Rod consented, as he climbed out on his bed. "Where did you say you were last night?" Martin asked, with seeming casualness. "Why, I was out to Lyla's," Rod said innocently. "All night?" Martin demanded incredulously. "Of course not! I left her place about twelve." "Well, what did you do the rest of the night, then," Martin persisted, as Rod donned his shirt. "Oh, just out walking around looking at the stars," Rod told him airily. "There were no stars out last night." Martin pointed out. "Say, what are you trying to do—find out my secrets?" Rod asked with pretended anger. "Can't a chap have even a little secret?" "Oh well, if you don't want to tell," Martin said, shrugging his shoulders. "You could at least snap into those clothes of yours." "I'm ready, that is, all except putting on a tie." Rod placated. t Martin's office they found a short, plump, swarthy, keen-eyed man awaiting them. He was dressed in a gray suit of obviously expensive material, and he wore his clothes with the air of a man who has been used to good things aong time. "Oh," he cried smilingly, as the two entered the office. "So you did bring him back with you, eh?" Martin introduced them, and Kling at once led Rod into Martin's private office. "Come with me. young feller," he commanded. "We got some talking to do, you and me. eh?" Seated behind Martin's desk. Kling sted keenly at Rod for an instant. Apparently satisfied, he offered Rod a cigar. "Thanks, but I don't smoke," Rod told him. "That's fine, that's very fine," Kling observed, as he lit one for himself. "Athletes should never smoke, but try and get them not to! Glad you don't! But say, Herrick, how much were you drinking the other night when you put on the fight with those bums at the Swamp Hut?" "I guess maybe I talk like a Sunday School teacher," Rod said, "but I hadn't been drinking anything, because I don't drink!" "Fine!" Kling cried joyously. "He doesn't drink and smoke, and he hits like a heavyweight already, and on his feet he is like a featherweight!" He leaned over the desk to pat Rod on the arm. "Boy, you are what I have been looking for a long time. How much do you weigh?" he asked 100 St. Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN 3-GRAIN TABLETS AS Pure AS MONEY CAN BUY DOSE 1 TO 2 TABLETS WITH WATER.

"In fact, I'd rather take a good boy who doesn't know much about boxing than to try to unlearn a 'chump' who thinks he know it all." For a few minutes he was silent, peering up at the ceiling. "Well, how about signing up with me?" he asked, with seeming indifference. "I'm not sure I want to be a boxer," Rod demurred. "Not want to be a boxer!" Kling echoed in amazement. "Why feller. I could make you a rich man if you got the stuff in you! Thousands of dollars I can get for you if you 'know your stuff.' And let me tell you, it's not every fellow that I'll sigr to be in my boxing stables!" "How soon would I start to make money?" Rod asked. "Before he ever has a fight he wants to know about money!" Kling cried, but a tiny twinkle in his eyes betrayed him "I tell you. Herrick. We will sign a contract where we splice forty-sixty." He paused to regar: Rod narrowly, and as the latter remained silent, he added, "Oh, well, I make it seventy-thirty."

A Letter to Every Woman "Before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was all rundown, nervous, could not sleep good and had to spend two days in bed every month. A friend of mine told me about the Vegetable Compound and I also saw it advertised in the Afro-American. I don't know where I would have been today if I hadn't taken it. I do all my housework, washing, ironing, and cleaning and I feel fine. I am now giving the Vegetable Compound to my fourteen-year-old daughter. I am glad to answer letters from women at any time."—Mrs. Lena Nixon, 1310 W. Harlen Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Lydia E. Pinkham Med. Co., Lynn, Mass. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 22, 1930 money and I get thirty." "Why should you get so much when I do all the fighting," Rod asked practically. "That's a fair question, and I'll tell you," Kling explained. "You see, when a man has good fighters, money and friends in the game all over the country, he is in a position to get good fights for his boys. I have to earn my money, don't worry, and usually I give my fighters sixty per cent and take forty for my end, and it's worth it, I'm telling you." "I see," Rod said, still slightly puzzled. "Well, shall we make up a contract?" Kling pressed. "Oh, I guess so, if you'll let Martin make up the contract." "Already, he's clever," Kling accused. "But I'll let your friend make it up, although I wouldn't take advantage of you, even if my lawyer made it. Oh, Mr. Thompson," he called. "Come here and make us up a nice contract. Your young friend is going to be a champion!" The contract which Martin drew up was brief and very simple, and it afforded each of the principals protection. Martin read it to both of them, and explained it to Rod. When he had finished, Kling arose. "Well, young fellow, now we got to pick out a good name for you. I understand you're from a cattle ranch. How about calling you 'Cow-boy Herrick?' "Doesn't make any difference to me," Rod told him, still slightly dazed by the proceedings. "How about 'Young Steer' for a ring name?" Martin suggested slyly. Kling grinned appreciatively, but said: "Naw. It's gonna be Cowboy Herrick." He turned to Rod: "And now Cowboy," he said briskly, "my car is down stairs. Suppose we go down town to the gym and see what you know." "Don't get that big jaw of yours busted," Martin gibed to his friend as the two left the office. "Nobody has busted it yet," Rod threw back at him. The trip down town was accomplished quickly. Kling guided Rod up a pair of nne too clean stairs, and into a large, barn-like room where a number of perspiring figures were going through various exercises such as punching bags, skipping ropes, shadow boxing, and actually exchanging blows in one of the several rings in the place. Kling led Rod to a dressing room where the youth quickly stripped off his garments. As his manager saw the wide, sleekly muscled shoulders which tapered down to a thin, muscle-corrugated stomach, he whistled in amazement. "Golly, Kid," he exclaimed admiringly, "where did you get a build like that?" Out of a locker he took a pair of tights, and a pair of light boxing shoes which he gave to Rod. When the latter had donned them, he led him out onto the floor where un a pair of none too clean stairs, "Hey Kelly, come here a minute, will you!" Kelly trotted over obediently. "This is my new fighter, a middleweight like you, Kelly," Kling told him, "and I want you to box a round or so with him so we can see what he's got." Kelly scowled a little. He was thinking that one middleweight in the Kling stables was a plenty. Then he grinned a little balefully at Rod. "Get some gloves on, big boy," he commanded, "and come on in the ring. I'll see just how good you are!" END OF CHAPTER THREE What is Rod's success as a boxer? Does he show up well in his trial? Watch for the answers to these questions in next week's chapter! Acid Stomach Excess acid is the common cause of indigestion. It results in pain and sourness about two hours after eating. The quick corrective is an alkali which neutralizes acid. The best corrective is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It has remained standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of Phillips Milk of Magnesia neutralizes instantly many times its volume in acid. It is harmless and tasteless and its action is quick. You will never rely on crude methods, never continue to suffer, when you learn how quickly, how pleasantly this premier method of relief always acts. Please let it show you—now. PHILLIPS Milk of Magnesia (Continued from Page One) ure. Subsequently she wrote Captain Rupert a lengthy letter about her feeling of approaching doom. It was through this letter that the authorities obtained a clue on the old fortune teller; also this missive was used to prevent her giving further mystic readings. Later the police took the four black cats away from Madam Schriver and shot them to death without a word of protest from their owner. It was said that more than fifty women had suffered misfortune through contact with Madam Schriver and her black cats, and half of those misfortunes terminated in gruesome deaths, as in the instance of Miss Fisher. Cora Walls, maid to Mabel Fisher, was another of Madam Schriver's patrons; and something happened to Cora that was quite far-fetched. She had recently met a young man who worked as a porter on one of the fast passenger trains out of St. Louis, and she was madly infatuated with him. Her nerves were so badly shattered when the black cats emerged from the kitchen, and rubbed themselves against her leg, in Madam Schriver's consultation room, that she screamed in terror and fainted. Madam Schriver frankly did not know what to do—except call in her neighbors. Then and there, Cora was doomed if she paid attention to what the neighbors told her when she regained consciousness; and all of them predicted horrible, blood-chilling things about her future. "Something terrible will happen to you," the, hastened to inform her. "Something of which you have not the slightest idea now." Surely enough, they were right. That same night Cora received a telegram telling her of the death of her sweetheart in a train wreck. But did Madam Schriver's black cats have anything to do with that? Science answers, no. I spent some time going through the old records in an effort to find something tangible on which which to hang the theory ti.at Madam Schriver's black cats were supernatural animals capable of warning people of unforeseen disaster, and I gave up ultimately after having exhausted every probative clue.

However, many strange and wholly inexplicable things did happen to a large number of Madam Schriver's patrons, and it is actually recorded that Cora Walls did lose her sweetheart the same night that she fainted at the fortune teller's house; and too, it is recorded that Mabel Fisher shot herself in the left breast because she learned that her swain, a married man, went car riding with another woman.
