THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VIRGINIA MAR 20 1856 STATE LIBRARY Virginia SupremeCourt Rules Favorably On Registration. VOLUME VLVII, NO. 20 Virg (Special to The Richmond Planet) Hampton, Va., March 25—When Lawyer A. W. E. Bassett, Jr., who has been waging a ceaseless fight against the registration officers of Elizabeth City county appeared before the Supreme Court of Appeals at Richmond about two weeks ago with Attorney J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, associated with him, to present a petition for a writ of error on behalf of W. E. Davis, of Hampton, who had been denied registration, there was presented to the Court for final judgment a matter of the most vital concern for the Negro people of this State, and in fact of every Southern Commonwealth. The court granted a writ of error. The Case W. E. Davis complied with the law in his application to register. It was made in his own handwriting to Thomas C. Allen, registrar of his precinct, setting forth without aid, suggestion or memorandum his name, age, residence and occupation at the time and for more than one year next preceding, and all other things required to be specifically set forth in the application. He also exhibited receipts showing the payment of poll taxes as required by law, and was prepared to answer on oath any and all questions affecting his qualifications as an elector, as required by the Constitution of Virginia, section 20, which is as follows in the third paragraph thereof: "That he answer on oath any and all questions affecting his qualifications as an elector, submitted to him by the registration officer, which questions and answers thereto, shall be reduced by the said officer, and preserved as a part of his official records." The registrar evidently not wishing to know whether he possessed the necessary qualifications required of him by section 18 of the Constitution, proceeded to ask him questions that would bring into use that section of the Constitution that was obsolete after 1904, namely, section 19, which is now obsolete insofar as regards persons registering after 1904, and of such general nature as to elicit from him how far he was generally informed, the questions being as follows: What is meant by legal residence in Virginia? * 2. When is the payment of poll taxes not required? 3. What are the requisites to enable one to register in Virginia? The Petition The petition for the writ of error attacks the right of the registrars after 1904 to ask the applicant for registration any questions except those touching his qualification as an elector. These questions, the petition sets forth, cannot extend to the understanding of the applicant of any law whether organic or statutory, the provision of the Constitution under which such questions could be asked prior to 1904 having become obsolete by the time of the Constitution itself. When the information has been made out as already set forth in the manner which the Constitution prescribes, then the registrar can only question the applicant in accordance with the section of the Constitution above referred to. So, from this, it seems that it is the duty of the registrar to write the questions and the answers of the applicant, and not the duty of the applicant; in other words, after he has written his application, he is only required to answer on oath such questions, and not to write them. So, having paid his poll taxes and written his application in proper form, and answered questions showing his citizenship, age, residence, in state, county or city, and his precinct, he still is subject to the following disqualifications: if he comes within that class which includes idols, or insane persons, or paupers, or if he, prior to adoption of the Constitution was disqualified from voting by the intention of the State and without the State and his disability shall not have been removed, or whether he has been convicted after the adoption of this Constitution within or without this State of treason, felony, bribery, petit larceny, obtaining money or property under false pretenses, embezzlement, for- --- ery, or perjury; or if he, while a citizen of this State and after the adoption of the Constitution has fought a duel with a deadly weapon, or sent or accepted a challenge to fight such a duel, within or without this State, or knowingly conveyed a challenge, or aided or assisted in any way in the fighting of such a duel, unless the disability incurred thereby has been removed. This petitioner was not at the time of making his application disqualified for any cause, nor is he disqualified at this time. What the Court Must Decide The Supreme Court of Appeals, therefore, must decide whether the registrar must act under the Constitution or whether he must arbitrarily go outside of the Constitution and ask questions whose plain intent and purpose are to defeat the applicant on account of his color. It is impossible in the space which can be given to this article to do more than give a brief outline of what is before the court, but from the best legal authorities it is said that the case now before the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia admits of no possibility of side-stepping the issue, but that the Supreme Court must construe the Constitution and hereafter the ruling will be a guide as well as a limit to the authority of registrars. For a long time in the city of Hampton Lawyer Bassette has been compelled to appeal cases to Judge Spratley in order to have colored men and women placed upon the books as registered voters. In fact, much of the time of the Circuit Court ahs been taken in hearing cases of that character because the registrars were determined to evade the law and to embarrass colored applicants who came before them for registration. Lawyer Bassette has fought these cases with patience and persistence, has succeeded in placing a number of men and women on the books through the medium of the Circuit Court, but he finally decided that, with the adverse ruling of Judge Spratley in the Davis case, he would take the matter to the Supreme Court of this State so as to have it settled once and for all. Much more than the reversal in the Davis case is sought, for it is believed that upon the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Virginia will hang the fate of thousands and thousands of citizens in Virginia and will serve as a guide to other states with constitutions similar to ours. Mr. Bassette has associated with himself Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, and it goes without saying that the case will be contested until the final duling is had by the Supreme Court. The interest manifested in this case was shown last Sunday at the Queen Street Baptist Church in Hampton by the large number of men and women who came out to hear the situation explained and discussed by the lawyers who will present the case to the Supreme Court of Appeals. It goes without saying that this matter will be watched throughout Virginia with intense interest.

LIBERIA HAS RADIO Akron, O. (CNS)—Africa's jungle is now within a split seconds time of the United States and other parts of the world, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., president of the United States-Liberia corporation, announced today. This company is licensed to operate the utility by authority of the Federal Radio Commission and the Republic of Liberia. Short wave service to Liberia with Akron as the terminus is now in operation and radio experts consider the system one of the most efficient in the world. Several years of intensive experimenting were necessary before the service was put in operation. Messages may be given to any Western Union office in the United States for transmission to Liberia by the United States-Liberia Radio Corporation system. In addition to the United States, messages may be sent to Liberia from practically all parts of the world and the same service is available in Liberia. Liberia, with the exception of Haiti, is the only Negro republic in the world. It lies on the west coast of Africa between French Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone and is within 4,400 miles direct sailing distance from New York. Approximately 42,000 square miles in area, the country is roughly the size of Ohio. The Firestone Company is developing a 1,000,000 acre rubber plantation in Liberia. Started five years ago, the first rubber from the newly planted areas will be harvested this fall, according to officials. Liberia is a vastly changed country since Harvey S. Firestone decided that the African republic was one of the best places in the world to grow rubber. A new interest has been taken by Liberians, in their progress; churches, schools and hospitals have been built, work has been provided for thousands of natives, and public road mileage has tripled. Liberia was setled in 1821 amid difficulties greater perhaps, according to Liberian students, than the Pilgrim Fathers experienced landing in America. The first settlers who sought to colonize on the west coast of Africa, under the auspices of the American Colonization Society called their first settlement "Monrovia." in honor of President Monroe. Monrovia is still the capitol of Liberia.

Toledo Lad Is Youngest Vet Of World War Experienced Anxiety Through War Trying to Keep His Real Age Secret DECORATIONS; BRAVERY (Capital News Service) Washington, D. C. — Arthur Johnson, now twenty-seven years old, of Toledo, Ohio, is believed to be the youngest veteran of the World War. Enlisting in the United States Army at the age of fifteen years and two months, he saw ten months of active service in France with the American Expeditionary Forces was awarded the French Croix de Guerre and was discharged before he reached his seventeenth birthday. Although the War Department was unable to establish this fact definitely when served by Represe- tionary D-7747, to whom attention the youth's record had been called, he is known to be several months younger than an Atlanta white youth who claims to be listed in the annals of the War Department as the youngest soldier to serve in France during the World War. He was just a school lad when, prompted by a thirst for adventure, he enlisted in Toledo, an January 5, 1918, two months after he had passed his fifteenth birthday. He gave his date and place of birth as November 5, 1899, at Caduceus. The eminent officer at the recruitment station, holding his twenty-one birthdays, questioned him closely for a time but later passed him. He was sent immediately to Fort Thomas, Ky. But even after he was in camp and assigned to Company B of the 370th Infantry (the old Eighth Cavalry) led by Captain Stewart HARRIET PICKENS FIRST OF SMITH COLLEGE New York, March 21—Harriset Pickens, daughter of William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, is the first of hep race to receive the coveted award of the "S" pin, one of the six awarded at Smith College, Northampton, Mass., one of the foremost women's colleges of the country.

There is a great deal of jubilation among the followers of Marcus Garvey, founder and president-general of the University Negro Improvement Association (August, 1929) of the World. This rejoicing is caused by the receipt of information from Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies, announcing that the Appeal Court had reversed the verdict of the lower court, which on February 2nd had imposed a sentence of six months, without hard labor, on their leader, Marcus Garvey, for seditious libel, for the publication of certain articles in his daily newspaper, "The Blackman," re-denouncing the action taken by some officials of the government during the recent election campaign that island. His editor, a Mr. Aikman, was also sentenced along with his chief, to three months' imprisonment in the St. Catherine District prison, without hard labor. The case against the foreman, a Mr. Reecher, was dismissed. A representative of this agency secured a copy of the cable, which follows: (Cable) Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., March 17. Garvey Club, New York, N. Y. 855 Lenox Avenue. "Won case today on appeal." "Best wishes." GARVEY. Garvey leaders here assert that the founder of the "back to Africa" movement is now more than ever to be reckoned with as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of modern organizers. Congratulatory cables have been sent from many of the branches and divisions of the U. N. I. A. in and near New York; and their liberty halls are busy with members and well-wishers exchanging pleasanties. CENTRALIA The 12 o'clock services were conducted by Rev. W. E. Brown, of Fulton; subject, "Walking With God." The Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe of Centralia held their thanksgiving exercises at 2 o'clock P. M. They had a splendid program. Rev. C. A. Cobbs preached the sermon from the subject, "Go Forward." There were a number of visitors present. Among them were Mrs. C. A. Cobbs and Miss Rewena Johnson, of Richmond. A very pretty play was had on Monday night, March 24th, by Miss Elaine Friend and Miss Luvinia Cogbill, teachers of Chesterfield County High School; subject, "The Fatal Wedding." Miss Lucinda Rose was the bride; Master Paul Copeland, groom; Miss Adele Davis, the forsaken mother. The Sunday School Union meets at Union Grove on fifth Sunday at 12 o'clock noon. Be present and on time. STAUNTON, VIRGINIA.

Y now had the stage set for the big trick, Y made the stage set and A doubled. Y redoubled and all passed. Needless to say, Y made the bid, losing only two spade tricks. The only reason Y was able to land the "big fish," that is, get away with such extraordinary bidding, was due to the fact that his partner, Z, was a very alert and intelligent player. After hearing Y bid hearts and diamonds and suddenly switch to five clubs, it wasn't difficult for him to deduce that the previous bidding was camouflage only, and that the five-club bid was the real article. For the one "fish" landed by such tactics, however, many more get away and the ultimate loss is more than effect by the occasional gain.

With a hand of this type, containing two quick tricks, one of which is at the head of a five-card suit, Z as dealer has a justifiable bid. Just suppose, for example, Z bids one spade. A's hand is pretty weak in everything but spades so the chances are that A would pass. He is well satisfied with the spade bid and his heart suit is hardly strong enough to justify a bid. If A passes, Y's proper bid is three spades. B will then bid four diamonds and all will pass. With the club opening as before, A B can make four diamonds and so will fail to score game. Don't pass a justifiable original bid if your hand contains the necessary values. The foregoing hand is a good example of what happens to the timid bidder. It is a well known rule of the game that you are going to be an overbiddler or an under-biddler, the former is the lesser of the two evils. n No. 5 J — K. J K. 8. 4. 2 8, 6 2, 7, 6 none 0, 10, 7 ad.

High Praise Accorded Norwegians and Norway Norwegians, writes an English traveler in that country, have grace without stiffness. Even the gyrations of jazz are executed with stateliness in Oslo. The people love beauty. They take a just pride in possessing one of the most charming capitals in the world. Whether draped in snow and ice or smiling under the midnight sun of summer, it is a peer among cities, with its stately public buildings set amid winding waterways and innumerable little wooded islands on the outskirts. It might be described as a Pleasure city, but for the air of solid industry which characterizes its well-dressed people. They work, but they appear to extract the maximum amount of enjoyment from the simple amusements of life. Even the telephone operators are models of good behavior, goes on the English traveler. And no people are more hospitable and kindly in their treatment of foreigners, he adds. This latter is the true mark of culture—Pierre Van Paassen, in the Atlanta Constitution. Unchangeable Laws Persia and Media were united under the same ruler after the conquest of the latter country by Cyrus of Persia in the Sixth century B. C., says an article in the Pathfinder Magazine. The laws of the Medes and Persians often are referred to as a type of the unalterable and irrevocable. This usage was suggested by several passages in the Bible. Daniel 6:3 says: "Now, O King, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which afterth not." Again in the same chapter: "Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O King, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed."

The world is full of certainties; the list is so extensive that almost everything is covered. What has happened in the past is warning for the future; and nearly everything has happened. If we may know about the distant planets—and we do—how much easier it is to know about our bodies, the habits of men collectively and individually, and of other things we may handle and taste. Men are actually tremendously clever; their trouble is that after discovering the truth, they say the truth is an outrage, and try to change it.—E. W. Howe's Monthly. Historic Lighthouse The old Cape Henry lighthouse, near Norfolk, Va., was erected in 1790, the first of many that now dot the coast line of the United States. Recently because of its historical significance a pilgrimage was made to it by women's organizations of the yichity. On the old lighthouse is a bronze tablet with this inscription: "Near this spot landed, April 26, 1607. Capt. Gabriel Archer, Christopher Newport, Hon. George S. Percy, Bartholomew Gosnold, Edw. Maria Wingfield, with twenty-five others, who, calling the place Cape Henry, planted a cross, April 26, 1607. Del Grafia Virginia Cornida." Friends We must, in great measure, take our friends as they are, if we are to have them at all. We cannot remodel any of them at will. When once we have accepted this fact, and the kindred fact that our friends are probably longing quite as fervently to improve us, we shall get a great deal more pleasure out of our companionships, and escape much mental friction—Great Thoughts (London). There are intimate revelations in this original feature that you never before dreamed existed. The very individuals that you think interesting, we wager you will find to be drab, colorless machines when you read Mr. Gordon's seintilizing article. You will be surprised to see how many tremendously interesting things are in this country, that "blush unseen." More than that, the delicate little human traits revealed about each of the well-known Negroes that the author se-lects will leave you gaping with laughter and wonder. Mischievous little characteristics that color every person's personality are found to be fascinatingly present in the interesting great Negroes that Mr. Gordon has very cleverly pictured.

In those romantic days, in the courts of Europe, the hairdresser was Mi Lady's confidante. Just as a man is no hero to his tailor, to the hairdresser of the European Courts no member of the court regardless of her station was an angel—he knew her whims, her fancies, her habits and her temperament. But of course his chief concern was the splendid dressing of her hair. Hairnets were of course very much in vogue then as now. The modern girl, as shown at the right, who has decided to let her bobbed hair grow, naturally wears the modern hairstet—of so fine a texture that it is almost invisible! Hair can't be considered "well dressed" without the hairstet that puts the finishing touch to women's glory.

Arnold Hill Gives Analysis of Situation As Found in Different Sections. "The number of unemployed Negroes is not less than 330,000," according to the National Urban League of New York City whose Departments of Industrial Relations and Research have reached this estimate after carefully analyzing figures gathered from all sections of the country and 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 those employed in agriculture. 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 disarray between Negroes and white people unemployed in Buffalo is shown from a recent report of the New York Department of Labor which indicates 17.7 per cent unemployment among Negroes as compared with 10.8 per cent unemployment among white males. In Philadelphia unemployment is reflected from a report made by attendance officers of the Bureau of Compulsory Education in cooperation with the Wharton School of Finance and oCommerce. This report shows "a relatively heavier 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 colored contractors are working about 75 per cent of their usual crews. White contractors are showing a preference for white workers. Common labor is in poor demand, 50 per cent being either idle or only working for time."

LANGSTON HUGHES RETURNS FROM CUBA N. A. A. C. P. CLEARED UP COLOR BAR New York, March 14—Langston Hughes, colored poet, to whom the Ward Line declined to sell a passage to Cuba, on the grounds that Negro tourists were discouraged by the Cuban government, and who sailed on a Cunard Line steamship, visited the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on his return to New York this week, and he had enjoyed a most cordial reception, being the guest of honor at notable receptions and banquets. The part taken by the N. A. A. C. P. questioning the Cuban government about its alleged bar against Negro visitors, were the subject of a long article in one of the leading Cuban daily newspapers, Diario de la Marina on March 5 Meanwhile, William G. Campbell, general passenger agent of the Ward Line, called at the National Offices of the N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth Avenue, and gave assurance which he confirmed by letter today, that the refusal to sell passage to colored travellers, of intimations from Cuban officials that colored tourists and visitors would not be permitted to land. The direct statement from the Cuban government obtained by the N. A. A. C. P., which denied this color bar, was the first official utterance anyone had found it possible to obtain, said Mr. Campbell. This Dr. Mitchell's statement from Dr. Campbell of Cuba, under secretary of state for Cuba in a cablegram to White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. declares that "No government ruling exists deny of allens under race or nationality. Prohibition only dealsagainst Chinese enacted 28 years ago." The N. A. A. C. P. further learns that there has been a disposition in Cuba to restrict the entry of Negro laborers, especially those migrating from Haiti, impelled by the rigors of the American Occupation there. Mr. Hughes while in Havana was the recipient of distinguished courtiers from leading Cubian journalists and poets, including the Secretary to the President of Cuba, and he said that no colored discrimination was shown in the leading clubs and resturants of Cuba. A number of receptions and entertainments were given in his honor. R, 'TWAS EVER THUS VALLEY NEWS at the Siloh Baptist Church at 3 Mrs. Martha Brown on Sixth P. M. on the 23rd.

"The Father," which was presented at Virginia Union University on Monday, March 10, 1930, was so well liked by those present that there has been a general demand that it be reproduced. The Virginia Union Players will present the play again on Wednesday, April 2, 1930 The drama tells of the conflict of two dynamic personalities, a man and a woman, over a child. The woman, reminding her husband of the inconsistencies and faithlessness of women even in marriage, plants a number of doubts in her husband's mind. The man, on the other hand, appeals to the love of the child. A series of tense dramatic incidents leads to a most exciting climax. Mr. Robert Cooper, who studied dramatics at Emerson College in Boston, portrays the part of the father and sincerely puts himself into his work. Miss Sherley Dinguid's interpretation of the mother is wonderfully done. They are supported by the Misses Cora Turner, Alice Scott and the Messrs. Robert Cooley, John Ashley, Granville Norris and Samuel Brown. "The Father" marks a change in the type of presentation of the Union Players in that it is the first serious drama of any length in their repertoire. The beautiful homeof Mr. and Mrs. John S.

College met Wednesday and approved the general plans for a new administration building t oreplace Dudley Hall, recently entirely destroyed by fire. The building committee was authorized to order work begun on the structure as soon as the architects can prepare specifications and let contracts. The structure will be of brick and limestone and will probably be three stories. However, the exact outlay cannot be definitely stated until the State authorities have acted on the matter finally. "PERPLEXITIES" It is a serious proposition To be in school on time; When you have a thousand things to do Between sunrise and nine. Everything is topsy-turvy, Everything is upside down, And I find myself so dizzy That I am turning round and round. Finally I begin my journey, Difficulties lie await, To foster my retarded progress And to make me late. When I reach the campus edgeway, Weary, tired and confused, My garments unfit for class- room, All of my body energy used. Then I rejoice that I'm not tardy, Thinking that I'm slow but sure; But the old bell rings for nine Just as I enter the door. GEORGIA WELDON. --- Toil Over The Wash Tub?

To Arnold Hill, who heads the Industrial Department of the League, states that "unemployment among Negroes due to cause other than inability to find work will certainly total 330,000, exclusive of those employed in agriculture. 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 cause other than failure to find employment." Continuing, Mr. Hill says "the disparity between Negroes and white people unemployed in Buffalo is shown from a report of the New York Department of Labor which indicates 17.7 per cent unemployment among Negroes as compared with 10.8 per cent unemployment among white males. In Philadelphia unemployment is reflected from a report made by attendance officers of the Bureau of Compulsory Education with the Warton School of Finance and Commerce. 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 white 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 largest colored contractors are working about 75 per cent of their usual crews, white contractors are showing a preference for white workers. Common labor is in poor demand, 50 per cent being either idle or only working for time. "Large numbers of Negroes are reported in the unemployed ranks of Milwaukee Communists engaged in street are making special provisions for 900 married men with families in Cincinnati, while 600 single men are being given night's lodging and help from relief agencies."

BARRING OF NEGROES FROM DEPOT IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA., RESCINDED New York, Mar. 14—The order prohibiting colored people fro m assembling in the Union Depot concourse, in Jacksonville, Florida, has been rescinded, according to a report sent by the Jacksonville branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people to the National Office. N. A. A. C. P. Urzes Transfer From- Stevens Hotel in Chicago Stevens Hotel in Chicago.....New York, Mar. 14. Because of the policy of the Stevens Hotel in Chicago of barring Negroes except as servants, the National High School Orchestra, which plays next week before the Music Supplies Conference, has barred from participation in the musical activities Miss Carolyn Glover ambus, Ohio, who had previously been accepted as a member of the orchestra. The National association for the advancement of Colored People has vigorously protested this proposed 'capitalization to the color bar of the Stevens Hotel and has urged that the convention be transferred to some other hotel, on the ground that the Stevens Hotel in barring a member of the orchestra because of her color had violated its contract to house all delegates to the convention. The N. A. A. C. P., to-day telegraphed to Miss Mabella Glenn, of the board of Education in Kansas City, Mo., President of the Music Supervisors National Conference setting forth the facts in the case, and requesting her to 'take steps to prevent this yelting to narrow boundaries which he shows is disproved by such men as Professor Peter Dykema of Columbia University, chairman of the advisory committee of the National High.. School orchestra camp association and by Walter Damrosch who is to be guest speaker at convention. In his letter to the N. A. A. C. P., who had appealed to him to exercise his influence in the case, Walter Damrosch, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra wrote: I have received, your kind letter of March 8th and regret exceedingly that Miss Carolyu Glover has not been permitted to take part in the orchestra concert to be given by the National High School Orchestra during the Music Supervisors' Conference in Chicago in March. Unfortunately this matter is not one in which I can take any active part as I am not a member of the association and am there for only one day as a guest to make an address before the members. Miss Glover, is stated to be highly gifted by teachers and musicians in Columbus Ohio, where she lives. The letter notifying her of her exclusion, was written by Joseph E. Maddy, president and musical director of the National High School Orchestra Camp association, who wrote: ' am very sorry, but circumstances over which we have no control, compel us to return your check and cancel your acceptance to the Chicago Orchestra. The hotel at Chicago has made the decision that no colored person can come into the hotel and take part in such gathering, and we have no choice but to abide by their decision. The matter has been taken up with various officials and their decision is final. so I am returning your cheek herewith. Hoping you will continue your study of music, I am Sincerely yours,_ (Sign) Joseph E. Maddy. BURNED TO DEATH IN OLD FOLKS HOME Thomasville, Ga.

FILIPINOS THRASH U. S.

Claim Tigers in India Serve Usert Purpose The unconventional opinion that tigers are really "shy beasts," fulfilling a "very useful function in nature by keeping down the deer" and other animals that damage crops, is urged in a statement from India made public by the British Society for the Preservation of the Fauna of the Empire. Even when tigers take to killing cattle, continues this surprising defense of an animal usually dreaded instead of praised, that fact is not necessarily harmful to human affairs. In India, the tiger's advocate urges, religious scruples induce the villagers to keep alive vast numbers of old and decreit cattle. Even the Indian popular leader, Mahatma Ghandi, was criticized severely for permitting an old, sick cow to be put out of pain. What occidentals would consider their duty, to get rid of useless and miserable animals, is shirked by Indian villagers, the spokesman of the Preservation society argues, and is usefully taken over by the tigers, unhandcapped by religion. Most tigers are imbued, the statement continues, with a wholesome fear of man, mankillers being the rare exception. It may be considered improbable, nevertheless, that any large percentage of Indian villagers will invite one of these supposedly shy and useful forest kitties to come and live in his barn in order to protect his garden. Alaskan Natives Erect Buildings Over Graves The natives of Alaska are much given to superstitious beliefs, witchcraft and ghosts, and as a rule they are dreadfully afraid of the ghosts of the departed, so that the section of land given over to the disposition of the dead is held in great reverence. The dead one, with all his personal effects, such as skins, blanket and trinkets accumulated during life, is laid away and is generally safe from molestation, although occasionally some member of the tribe may become so depraved as to remove some of the goods if he can do so without detection. Frequently a small house is erected over this accumulation, so that in the course of time the burial ground comes to take on the appearance of a miniature village. In some parts this has taken the form of an annual ceremony and on a certain day of the autumn many persons may be seen erecting these houses over the resting place of their departed relatives. Taking It Literally They had departed to a warmer elime for the winter months and the master was watching his servant unpack the various bags, while he checked their contents with an eagle eye. "You are sure we've got everything we want?" he asked, when the operation was almost complete. "Yes, sir," answered the valet. "What about the medicine chest? Is everything in it? Bandages, safety pins, lint, brandy, iodine—" "There's no iodine, sir," interrupted the valet hastily. "Why not, indeed?" "Because you'd written on the bottle that it was not to be taken, sir," replied the other meekly.—London Answers. Bare Library Shelves In medieval times reading was a serious business. When a writer began a volume the choice of subjects was easy—there were but seven; theology, philosophy, medicine, logic, grammar, history and Canon law. Perhaps that is why there were so few books. The libraries were little frequented, and perhaps that was because patrons had to stand up to read. On no account could anyone take a book home, for all volumes were chained to the stall in which they were kept. Even college libraries did not offer very extensive reading. King's hall in 1807 listed 87 volumes and the University library enumerated a mere 122 as being in its possession in 1424.—Detroit News. Wild Sheep and Goats There were wild mountain sheep in the Rockies and some other parts of the continent before the discovery of America by Europeans. The Indians had not domesticated these, however, and there has been no success since at domesticing them or crossing them with domestic breeds. The Europeans brought sheep to the New world as soon as they began to settle here, and all the domestic breeds now known in this country are descended from similar breeds of the Old world. The nearest allies of the sheep are the goats. The span of life of a sheep is from ten to fifteen years. Amazon's Wide Mouth The width of the mouth of the Amazon river, says the Pathfinder Magazine, is usually measured from Cabodo Notre to Punto Patjoca, a distance of 207 miles. This, however, includes the ocean outlet of the Para river—40 miles wide—which should be deducted, as this stream is merely the lower stretch of the Tocantins. It also includes the ocean frontage of Marajo, an island about as large as the entire kingdom of Denmark lying in the mouth of the Amazon. The actual width of the principal mouth is about 50 miles. Dust Now Recognized as Powerful Explosive It is more or less generally well known that all dust accumulations represent a menace of no mean proportions. Dust is explosive and many mills were wrecked by this mysterious power before the real cause was understood. In a mine, for instance, the explosion taking place in one chamber was carried to the next and so on until the explosive force swept through the entire mine and the workings were wrecked completely. It is only within a comparatively few years that it was ascertained that this march of destruction was conducted through the subterranean passages by the accumulation of dust on the walls and in the crevices. Now this is avoided by a coating which is sprayed on and which prevents the dust thus treated from exploding. In the case of grain mills the damage done by these mysterious bursts was particularly severe and the government agencies have been giving considerable attention to the study of these mysterious blasts. In the course of some experiments it was found possible to drive an automobile engine by the use of finely powdered corn dust. —Louisville Courler-Journal. Dire Punishment for "Mute of malice" is a legal term of considerable antiquity, and applies to prisoners who on being arranged in court refuse to plead. In a recent Dublin case, counsel said that to seek a verdict of this kind nowadays was only an "absurd formality." But once it was not so. Then penalty was terribly severe. Here is an instance as late as 1740. A highwayman, who pretended to be dumb and refused to plead at Kilkenny assizes, was tried as to whether he was "mute and lunatic by the hand of God or willfully so." On being found "mute of malice," he was sentenced to be pressed to death, a decree which was carried out in the market place. "As the weights were heaping on the wretched man" (says an account) "the earnestly supplicated to be hanged, but it being beyond the power of the sheriff to deviate from the mode of punishment prescribed in the sentence, even this was an indulgence which could be no longer granted to him."—London Mall. Noted for Severe Winters The weather bureau says that, generally speaking, the state of North Dakota and the eastern portion of Montana and the western portion of Minnesota have the most severe winter climate, although portions of northern New England and the mountain sections of northern New York have weather conditions nearly approaching those in the sections first named. Likewise, some of the mountain districts have severe weather over somewhat longer periods than in the sections previously mentioned, and heavier snows may occur, but usually the temperatures are not so low during periods of intense cold as occur in the lower levels of the states first mentioned. Afterthought The polite guest in southern Arabia, says a writer of the National Geographic society, always secretes a few coffee berries in his turban, and thus supplies his own beverage at the house where he is calling.

Safer The famous man was furious when he found a pile of paving stones outside his front door. "Here, you!" he said to a navy standing near. "Take these things away at once." "All right, guv'nor, all right," said the navy. "But where shall I take 'em to?" "Take 'em to hell for all I care," came the indignant reply. "'Adn't I better take 'em to eaven, gov'nor," said the navy, helpfully. "They'd be more out of your way."—London Magazine. Religious Reminder The emblem placed on the door post of an orthodox Jewish home, which the guests touch when they enter is called "mezuza," which literally means "door post." It is placed there in fulfillment of the command in the fifth book of Moses. "And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house and upon thy gates." The emblem contains a small piece of parchment or paper on which is written by hand the above quoted passage and others to remind Jews of duties toward their religion.

White Clubmen Pay Tribute To Caddy (By the Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., March 20.—Members of the white Anley Golf Club paid tribute to "J.

D.," as he was known, was one of the most popular caddies at the club and when he died the members collected funds for his burial and Rev. Lewis D. Newton, pastor of Druid Hills Baptist Church, for whom the lad had caddied preached the funeral sermon. The lad was wounded in a fight here Saturday night, and the wounds proved fatal.

"Radio sets utilize larger quantities of iron than of any other element," said Mr. Silver. "The chassis the steel transformer laminations and the wire of the screen antenna are some of the major parts based on iron and its compounds. Sharers of the burden of iron are cadmium which plates the chassis, manganese as an alloy and nickel which plates the soft iron wire in the antenna mesh. Condenser plates are of aluminum. "The greater part of radio wiring is copper, but fuse wires are of a bismuth alloy and the resistance wire contains chromium.

A WOOD TANK IN ACTION HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.—Will the next war be fought with wood instead of steel? This question is under discussion here since the recent release of a war feature film in which keen interest is being evinced by army officers in the monster tanks, supposed made of steel, that are shown in action. Instead of being built of steel, however, the tanks are made of a grainless wood. Film studio directors declare that this material called presedwool also is widely used in elaborate movie settings showing interiors of homes and modern offices, as well as for making iceboxes, kitchen cabinets, breakfast nooks, birdhouses, and even speedboats. Perpetual Motion CHICAGO—What is believed to be the nearest approach to perpetual motion yet discovered is a radium clock constructed by Dr. Frank E Simpson, a leading authority on the removal of birthmarks with radium. This clock is said to be the only one of its kind in America. H Radium, is contained in a glass tube, from the end of which are suspended two gold leaves. An aluminium sheath is mounted on opposite sides of the leaves, and the whole apparatus is enclosed in a glass case pumped once per minute as could be obtained and sealed. In operation, the rays from the radium charge the leaves with positive electricity, which causes them to diverge until they touch the metal sheath. The leaves then drop back to their original position, and the movement is repeated, approximately every thirty seconds. Dr. Simpson, who is head of the Radium Clinic of Chicago, says the movement will leave with constant for more than 2,000 years. Scientists declare that theoretically the leaves will never stop moving. The clock has now been in constant operation for four years. Xa Na a ee OO Bi ee ; MOORE ST.

GOLD STAR MOTHERS MAKE NO PROTEST WAR DEPT. a Washington, UD. ©. (UNS)——~NOk a single Gold’ Star mother or widow ‘who 1 eligible to make the trip to Europe as the guest of the Federal Government, has formally _regis- tered her protest against the Jim crow arrangements for the pilgrim- age to the Buropean graves of their heroes, War Department offi cials told a reporter of the Capital News Service, Friday. While. protests against the policy of segregating. the mothers, on their sacred pilgrimage to the battlefields of France have been voiced by a Score. of national organizations, prominent citizens, and practically ‘every Negro newspaper thruout the country, the mothers themselves have registered no complaint, it was pointed out. ‘The protests were considered but caused no change to be made in the plans. In the absence of the pro- fests of the mothers and widows, themselves, officials claim to be jus- tified in their conclusion that they are satisfied, it is frankly stated. “The mothers, themselves, whe are to be the guests on this tour are not complaining,” said Colonel William Gibson, “yet their com- plaint would have more weight than any. others.” Colonel Gibson Gibson is im charge of the arrangements for the trip which are being made by the office of the Quartermaster Gen: eral. Continuing, officials point out that even after complaints began pouring into the War Dopartien following the exposure of the “jim crow” plan by the Capital New: Service, four additional — mother have signed a willingness to mak the trip, bringing the total number up to 222 to go in 1930 and 5 t sail at some later date. In the meantime newspapers ant local organizations are being urgec to prevail upon the eligible mother: to refuse to make the trip unde the present arrangements.

A COURTESY LIST The Crisis recently published a Courtesy List of American publish- ers, magazines and newspapers, which capitalize the word Negro, Only two newspapers were mention- ed in it, the New York World and the New York Herald Tribune, al- though the editor of the Crisis ad- mitted that doubtless there were others. Certainly the Standard should have had a place on the honor roff, as its rule calling for Negro with a capital N has been in force for many years. This newspaper, in fact, was a pioneer in establishing this style. Since the publication of the Courtest List in the Crisis, the New York Times, which was assailed for not capital- izing the word has changed its rule, and publications not included have notified the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Col- ored People that Negro is capital ized in their columns.

When Charley Martin wore a dress suit, he showed to considerable ee: consequently when he attended a social function, he was immaculate in attire, and always admirably dressed. He was as much at home in a drawing room as he was in the counting room at the bank where he was employed, and he was always invited to “things.” In fact, Charley often said he was so busy that he wouldn't have time ee to his own wedding even if he made up his mind to marry— which he never did. >The police force in this college town of five thousand inhabitants were especially obligated to Charley Martin for his assistance in a most extraordinary way, inasmuch as he was a self-made criminologist. He had the ability that many detectives lack, that. is, to see straight to the main pojnt in a complicated mys- tery. He furthered his aim in this direction and accomplished more than any one else in the way of solving baffling mysteries. Of course, this was only his hobby, as he was an employee of the largest bank in town where he drew a large salary. “Everybody called Charley Martin pe he first name, He preferred this. was polite and kind to children, and all the stray dogs in town ran to him early in the morning when he opened the door of the bank. If ey were hungry, he fed them, and if they were homeless, he found a home for them on some farm. Char- Jey once spent a half day seeking a pa for a collie dog that he had found ba vecraig in the cold under the roof of the bank porch. And be- sides, there was his word, ~_ ~ ~If Charley Martin told you he'd do anything, you could count on it being carried out exactly as he Prose’. He oxpecied others to do same for him, although it is true that he was many times dis- arputied. However, he did not lose fi in humanity. - Forty-four reas ago, Cal Pierce, ident of the bank, saw Charley ‘-clad, pushing a meat cart down ie preet int the seccioh a He teok an interest im. » Wal out to where Charley had aul to rest in the blinding snow storm, the flakes of which were obliterat- ingly large, Pierce said: -“What's your name?” ~“Martin.~ Charley.” : “How long have you been working jor—?” + -“Two months.” .“Isn't that cart hard to push?” Pierce . interrogated, . eyeing . the young man up and down. “Don’t you have to be something of a horse to push that cart all day?” Charley nodded energetically. “Yes,” he confessed, “I do have to be very much a horse. But I have a father and mother to look after. I can do anguiing for them.” Pierce studied the young man in silence for a moment. “How old are you?” Charley told him he was ten, “Pretty young,” Pierce said.

I wouldn't ask for anything better.” ‘ And that’s how Charley went to work at the Farmer's Trust Com- pany. Two years ago, Myr] Gorman, wite of a journalist, entered the bank and drew five hundred dollars. She fold- ed the bills carefully and walked out. In her purse which she left behind in’a vanity box, was one hundred and four dollars. She did not miss the purse until she had reached home. Then she grew ex- cited and*started back to look for it, She knew that not many people would return such a large amount of money.- She ei ey visited ev- ery store in town at which she had been that day. But she failed to find any trace of the lost money. The last place she entered was the bank and Charley was awaiting her. “Did you lose this?” he asked, smiling. $ Such incidents as these attracted friends to him, and he was never forgotten by the lady whose money he found on that occasion.

And Charley was there day and night. Unlike many readers, Charley's favorite fictional detective was Craig Kennedy, scientific investigator. He seldom gave any time to Sherlock Holmes. In his office was a heavy polished bookcase that glimmered in the reflections of frosted globes against the ceiling; and in the book case were heavy volumes bound in leather, red, green and brown. These books were on divers subjects, dealing with crime in all its phases; banking, etc. And in one corner of the room was a small bench upon which Charley carried out various chemical experiments. Charley spotted a muddy car that swept through the main street of the town one day, and reported to the officers that he had recognized the driver from a picture he had seen in a paper. The man was Harley Ross, a bank robber who had killed a motorcycle policeman in St. Joseph a city forty miles away. And because the officers knew that Charley was not given to spurious talk, they carried out an investigation. That was how Outlaw's Roost became known to the town's citizens. Ross had fled to a nearby farm, where he was captured two days later. Charley's memory was pretty well trained along those lines. Once he saw a face, he remembered it. Moreover, upon several occasions he demonstrated his ability as a detective. When a school teacher was killed by a train early one morning, every one thought she had been murdered by a tramp and her body placed on the track so the train could crush her. But after a brief investigation, Charley pointed out to the authorities that the woman was in ill health and had been taking medicine for some time. They asked him how he knew this, and he showed them a piece of the woman's dress which had a stain on it. Charley had picked up a medicine vial at the scene of the accident, and in his laboratory—that little bench in the corner of his office equipped for chemical research—he poured a few drops on the piece of dress material and after waiting a while, found it made the same kind of stain, therefore was the medicine vial the unfortunate woman had carried with her that fatal morning. The authorities were convinced when they found that the woman had been taking nerve medicine and that she had actually carried the vial found by Charley. And there were many other cases that Charley grappled with and produced remarkable results. He drove an expensive automobile, owned considerable farm land and had a good account at the bank where he was employed. Wise investment had enabled him to reach a point where he didn't have to worry about anything. Quite a step from a butcher's cart in a blinding snowstorm with his rags whipping his poorly nourished body. Quite a step, but he made it. It is stoutly proclaimed here that Charley Martin was one of the most capable criminologists ever seen in that section of the country, and that he had as many white friends as friends of his own race.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 29, 1930 Nude A woodcut by Isle Bischoff from "Carl and Anna," Leonard Frank's new frank novel of an unusual and tragic love. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, are the publishers. The Black Venus Charms Them All By THE BOOKER "The Black Venus," by Andre Salmon. Published by the Macauley Company, New York. $2.50. Mederic Bouthor, a peculiar and Quixotic individual in the Latin quarter of Paris, becomes enamoured with a beautiful Negro slave girl. He buys her, names her Cora, and also surrounds himself with all of the artists and poets of the quarter. There are frequent informal meetings of this artist-poet group at Bauthor's, where the most sophisticated type of conversation takes place. Both in subject matter and manner, the content of this conversation reflects the strange and tragic life of these talented people, as they are inevitably confined to the poorer classes for their social and economic association. Cora is physically attracted to Mumu, a most extraordinarily handsome young Latin, who is likewise, captured by the odd and tropical beauty of the dark-skinned slave girl. They become lovers, unknowingly to Bauthor. Mumu, however is a professional philanderer and has many more slavish female admirers than the passionate Cora approves. On every hand he is besieged by beautiful women of all races, who clamor for this expert in the art of love. From here and in a fascinating manner, the author narrates the many intriguing and amorous adventures of the indefatigable Mumu. It is quite logical that at least one of Mumu's sweethearts should actively resent his affair with Cora. When she does, in a jealous rage she has him murdered. An innocent admirer of Mumu is grief-stricken over his death and later commits suicide. Cora, the Black Venus, with more than her share of admirers, and not at all overwhelmed with sorrow, continues her adventurous life after being exiled by her master. THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Invites and Appreciates All Comments From Readers. This book is superbly different from the general run of novels—both in its selection of principal characters and its character delineation. Here is love, intrigue, suspense, blind passion, humor and tragedy. But none of these are developed in the conventional manner. Instead of the eternal triangle of villian, hero and heroine, there are variegated and subtle plots running throughout the volume which trip the reader's attention and insure new and delightful experiences with every few pages. One follows the weavings of the story as if it were a detective mystery. There is a verve and life in the language that quickens one's interest as the most unexpected developments take place. It is an unusually enveloping and prepossessing novel. It places the reader in the midst of the stark and cynical background which is reflected in the characters. A sort of unmoral atmosphere characterizes the entire plot, which also makes the story genuinely different from the usual immoral flavor which is now attached to the so-called ultra-modern fiction. When Pain Comes Two hours after eating What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been overstimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this narmless, tasteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES·NAUSEA ST GULLAH LIFE In The Raw GULLAH LIFE In The Raw In "Nigger to Nigger," by E. C. L. Adams (Charles Scribner's Sons, New York) is recorded some of the richest wit to be found in any publication on Negroes. Briefly it is a sketch of the so-called purest African types which are to be found along the Congaree river in South Carolina. It contains no action except that which is related in the stories of the characters whose conversations compose the witty sketch. Through "Tad" and "Scip" what purports to be the philosophy and originality of an entire race are revealed. The author, a white physician in Columbia, South Carolina, succeeded in compiling a work which, if not immeasely valuable to the Negro Group, will serve to stir the humor and patho. of every person who reads it. The volume is written in characteristic "gullah" dialect fascinatingly picturesque, and eminently fitted for its type of content. The dialect will be recalled vividly by those who saw the remarkable play "Porgy." However, in this volume it can be understood, since it can be molled over until its meaning is finally discovered; while in "Porgy" is was difficult to remember an unfamiliar word long enough to work out its meaning. There is no doubt that the volume contains pathos, humor, tragedy, keen wisdom, and crude brilliance. The most momentous problems of the race, are discussed now, with biting sarcasm, at other times, with the delightfully disturbing humor of a subtle comedian. One sketch, "Becky," is particularly suggestive of the tragic and robust unmorality of the heroine of "Scarlet-Sister Mary:" Tad: Is you know Becky? Tad: She been up to de white folks' yard wid wid she three chillun, an' when she leff, young Miss axe Alice, Becky's sister, how long Becky been marry. Alice say: "Beck ain't never been marry." An' young Miss say: "O Alice, how come she have all er dem chillun an' she ain' got no husband?" An' Alice say: Becky git she chillun de best way she kin. She say she ain' want no husband." Scip: Dat's de surest way to get 'em. There is an extraordinary veracity and a poignant clarity in the story, "That Damn Nigger." It is the tragic account of an innocent Negro murdered by a white man. At the trial, nothing whatever was mentioned as to the brutality of the crime. Before the "twelve men good and true" had had an opportunity to return the absolving verdict, the judge requested that the fine war record of the men be taken into account, and that the jury be lenient with the murderers. One of the story-teller's comments on the situation was: "A nigger was kilt an' white folks de court." Despite such fatalistic humor, the volume manages to provide exceedingly interesting reading and sparkling repartee. acid, and the symptoms disappear at once.

BUNKER Nationally Known Graphoanalyst An old friend of mine used to say that a person without any temper wasn't worth having around. This may be true. I have no quarrel with the old gentleman's philosophy or ideas abou what make up people and give them the best characteristics with which to go through life, but one thing is certain—the man or woman who goes around carrying a temper that is always bobbing up and blowing off steam, is headed for a lot of trouble. Such a temper is not worth having and certainly doesn't help its owner but is a real handicap both in the professional and business world as well as in the social life where he mingles. this look time There are several traits in a hand writing that will show temper and where you find them you should look for self-control. If it does not exist, then it is high time that such a writer commences to take a grip on himself and watch that temper all the time. If you find that a specimen of writing has the "t" crossed after the t-sten, instead of in front of it as we have in front of it, you may be sure that such a writer is easily excited and i; likely to have temper. If the t-bar is made like the second t-crossing in the copy we have this week, then you may be sure that the writer has a temper—one that is nasty and almost spurts fire when it is stirred up. Such a writer will say the meanest sort of things, will be very inconsiderate when angered and it will take next to nothing to start that anger boiling to the blistering point. These two little t-crossings that we have here this week are important and if you will study them and then try them out on the hand writing of your friends, you may learn some things of real interest.

At a party, to which he is unwillingly taken by his friend Martin Thompson a lawyer from his home, he meets his hostess, lovely Lyla Durant, whose father is an alderman. When he dances with her he treads on her toes, and her fiance, Reggie, makes a cutting remark regarding Rod's clumsiness. The girl averts trouble by taking Rod into the garden where they become well acquainted. Later at a cabaret, Reggie becomes intoxicated and strikes Rod, who does not return his blow. For a few minutes Lyla thinks him a coward in spite of his splendid size, and apparent strength. Later she changes her opinion when Rod whips Wolf, a gangster, who insults Lyla. Rod is warned, the next day, that Wolf is dangerous and will not forget his defeat at Rod's hands quickly. When the youth calls on Lyla that night he meets Alderman Durant, who also warns him that Wolf may attempt to harm him. Rod laughs at the warning, but as he leaves Lyla's home at mid-night he is "taken for a ride" by Wolf and his gang, who inform him that they are going to shoot him to death. Rod warns them that his father, a wealthy ranchman in Montana will avenge him at which Wolf threatens to wire the rancher for 55,000 after they have killed Rod. The youth steels himself to make some sort of effort to escape as the car turns into a lonely road in the country, but any such action proves unnecessary as the machine is halted by a group of prohibition agents lying in wait for bootleggers. They send Wolf on his way after Rod tells his story, and take Rod back to the city with them. In this manner the young Westerner escapes. The next day he meets Kling, a Jewish manager of prize-fighters, who offers Rod a contract, telling him that he can make a great deal of money. Rod needs money to enter school, and so accepts the contract. Kling then takes him down town to a gymnasium, where a number of boxers are training. Kelly, a middleweight fighter, resents Rod's addition to the Kling boxing stables, as he is afraid that Rod may take his place. Kling tells Kelly to box with Rod and the other fighter shows by his manner that he intends to harm Rod once they are in the ring. Rod followed the heavily muscled blond youth toward the ring quietly. Kling stood in the background watching. He sensed Kelly's enmity toward Rod, and he understood the blond youth's feeling. Kelly had lost his past three fights, and feared that Kling would replace him with another fighter. Kelly leaped lightly through the ropes of the ring and stood waiting in the center of the hempen enclosure. a cruel smile twisting his thin lips into a half snarl. "Make it snappy there, Big Boy," he commanded Rod, who was climbing into the ring, "or you'll make me think you are afraid." Rod grinned easily. "Maybe I am," he suggested. "You'd better be," his opponent advised. From the edge of the ring Kling spoke. "Now, don't go slugging at the boy, Kelly. Just box with him so we can find out where he's weak. No rough stuff, see, or you'll maybe get a surprise. And you, Cowboy—you show us what you know, and don't be afraid to let loose your punches." He glanced at the watch he held in his hand, and suddenly called, "Time!" Kell: shuffled confidently toward Rod, who danced lightly away. The blond fighter sneered, then followed rapidly, jabbing tentatively at Rod's face. The bronzed youth averted his head the slightest trifle, making Kelly's blow go wide of its mark. Kelly scowled, then rushed Rod to the ropes, pumping vigorously at his body. As Rod's back struck the ropes, he relaxed, then as the hemp rebounded, throwing him back into the ring with swift force, he swung then se The Stormy C A At Leavenworth all of the prison officials were exceedingly considerate of Jack. The wardens urged him to continue his physical training. Jack was entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the entire prison in the best physical condition. His prison term developed into a period of relaxation for him. . CHAPTER IV PART I his right arm in a short arc, striking the other boxer flush on his jaw, sending him to the canvas covered floor with a dull thump. "See, I told you!" shouted Kling. "I told you you should not get rough with the boy. And anyway, you ought to know better than to follow anyone, even an amateur, into the robes." Kelly sat on the floor staring in amazement at Rod. He got to his feet slowly, shook his head, and grated, "Aw, accidents will happen to anyone. The chump just got a lucky blow in on me. Come on, Big Boy. We'll see what there is to you." KELLY TAKES A FLOP Kling's keen eyes narrowed, but he remained silent as Kelly, half crouching, leaped savagely at Rod. The latter, his eyes blazing, did not give an inch but met Kelly's oncoming form with a staccato shower of swift blows, taking in return a hard srush to his jaw. For an instant the two men stood toe to toe, slugging furiously, forgetful of boxing skill, each intent only on beating the other to the floor. The furious mixup, and the unprecedented knockdown of Kelly had drawn most of the boxers in the gym around the ring in which the two were fighting. They shouted advice to both men indiscriminately, and even struck each other in their enjoyment of the fierce glove swinging. Then abruptly Kelly's knees sagged, his arms dropped, and a dazed expression crept over his face. As he sank drunkenly toward the floor, Rod landed a final crashing jolt to his mid-section, which sent the blond youth back on his heels, and to the canvas where he lay twitching, his legs doubled under him. For an instant Rod stood regarding his fallen foe with burning eyes, then seeing that he was "out cold." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—March 29, 1930 THE FIRST SHaking Hands Jack was surprised.

When Kelly fell, an instant of hushed silence had swept over the crowd. Kling's voice was silently awed when he spoke. "By golly. Kid, you've K.O'd him sure as shootin'. Why, that's the first time Kelly's ever been knocked out in his life. Golly, what a sock you got!" ROD BEGINS HIS CAREER As Rod climbed out of the ring, the other fighters crowded around him, slapping him on the back, and saying a great number of congratulatory things. Kling waved them away brusquely. "Say, what you bums trying to do? Give my new boy the big-head? Come on, Cowboy, you've made me know what kind of a fighter you are." Rod smiled at the other fighters who surrounded him, then with a last glance at the corner where several men were working over the still unconscious Kelly, he followed Kling back to the dressing rooms, where the latter promptly closed and locked the doors. "Say, Cowboy," he asked, a trace of wonderment in his voice, "ain't you never fought before in a ring? Honest, ain't you now?" Rod grinned, and felt his swollen jaw tenderly. Killing.

Maybe I didn't tell you, but the fellow who was working on our ranch was Dandy O'Day, former welterweight champion, who was trying to regain his health by working out there in the open air. He taught me a lot, I guess." Kling whistled. "O'Day, eh? No wonder you know how to use your feet and hands. Now listen, Kid—with your looks and the punch you got in your mitts, we ought to clean up a bunch of dough. All I want you to do is follow out my instructions. You got to come down here every day and work out, so the newspaper guys can look you over. And though your wind may be all right, I want that you should get up early in the morning and trot a few miles. How about it?" "OK, Mr. Kling. But I warn you that I'm only going to fight this summer. I want to go to school this fall. That's the only reason why I signed up with you—to get enough money to enter school." "You'll forget that, Cowboy," Kling assured him, "when you get your hands on some real cash. Just wait and see." PART II When Rod got home he found a message awaiting him from Lyla.

Restlessly he paced up and down his small room, while plans, thoughts, ideas swam through his mind in a confusing kaleidoscope. He wondered what Lyla would say when he told her that he had turned professional fighter. He was afraid that she would disapprove. Perhaps she would refuse to see him, even, when she knew about his new profession. He asked himself what he would do in that case. But perhaps she wouldn't mind. Kling had told him that he would be able to make a great deal of money in the ring as a fighter. Suppose he did? Then he would be able to own a 'ar. dress well, and be the kind of person whom Lyla's friends seemed to be. Perhaps he would even make enough money to go back out to Montana and buy a vast ranch which bordered on that of his father's. But that would mean leaving Lyla. He could never do that, Maybe she would be willing to go out there herself. He put the idea from him with a rueful grin.

He was sure that the gangster would never be content until he had gotten his revenge on him. What should he do about it? Tell the police? That wouldn't do much good, he decided. The only thing for him to do would be to evade any traps the gangster might lay for him by being very, very careful. The worried youth threw open one of his windows. It was early evening. Street lights glowed faintly, and the warm fragrance of spring swept into his room, creating in him a vague sense of melancholy, and a sharp yearning for the quiet peace of the ranges. Rod asked himself impatiently why he should feel as he did. Had he not succeeded in holding his own since he had been in the city? Had he not won the favor of the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen? And were his prospects for making money not the best? He shrugged his shoulders and, whistling tunelessly, went to phone Lyla again. After a short delay he got her. "Oh, Rod!" she exclaimed, "didn't you get my message?" "Sure, but only an hour or so ago. I'd been downtown." "What are you doing now?" "Waiting to ask you if I can come over." "Well, why don't you?"

I must choose between an elderly man with lots of money and the man I really love who has only a job. Shall I choose love or luxury? Shall I choose happiness or security? My people are all for my taking the money. They say 'Love flies out the window when poverty walks in the door.' Is this always true? SINCERE. No, it isn't always true.

For the Up-to- Date Hostess KEEPING SANDWICHES FRESH AND DAINTY Countless hostesses, who have trumped their partner's ace as a result of worrying about making sandwiches for their guests, will welcome a new development that promises to solve many a sandwich problem and improve many a bridge score. A scientifically devised moist air compartment for the electric refrigerator now makes it possible for the hostess to prepare her sandwiches early in the day, at her convenience. No longer is it necessary for her to lose out on a number of bridge hands while she stages a frenzied, last-minute, sandwich-making act before the guests are served. Sandwiches, made ten or even fifteen hours or more before the party and then stored in the moist air compartment, or hydrator, remain as fresh and dainty as when prepared. The moisture-laden cold makes this possible. Not only does this compartment hold forth special promise to the hostess as a highly valuable ally in her job of entertaining, but it bids fair to accomplish a highly useful task every other day of the week. It is capable of rehumidifying or freshening vegetables or of maintaining their original degree of freshness over indefinite periods of time. Exhaustive tests conducted by home economics authorities have demonstrated that the hydrator, if located properly within the electric refrigerator, will restore even vegetables that have a decidedly wilted appearance to a surprising degree of freshness and crispness within a short period of time.

"Oh, but I love you, my dear—" "I know, dear, I know, but—" "What does anything matter, Lyla, except that we love each other?" He drew her again into a savage embrace. She pushed hard against him. "Wait, Rod—please, darling—we've got to think. It's all so beautiful—we mustn't spoil it like this. Can't you see that?" SELF-REPROACH Slowly Rod's arms relaxed. The girl sat up and lifted her flushed face to the cool breeze that swept in off the lake. Rod raised himself slowly, and hid his face in his hands. "Oh, Lyla, can you ever forgive me?" he pleaded. "There is nothing to forgive, Rod," she said, as she caressed his tousled hair. "We're young, and we're human, but thank goodness we were level headed enough—" "You mean YOU were," Rod corrected her shamedly. "I don't know what came over me. I was like a savage. I've never been like that before. I'm so sorry." "Forget it, dear," Lyla advised gently. Suddenly she pointed out toward the lake, where close into the shore the lights of a small motorboat winked gaily as the craft bobbed up and down on the choppy waves. "Look—see the little boat. Don't you: wish we were out in it?" Rod shook his head morosely. "Not since I've found out what a brute I am. I'll never trust myself with you again." "Don't be silly, Rod," the girl commanded. "Next time we'll know better. Won't you forget it, please." She shivered. "I'm cold now. dear. Shall go?" "Perhaps we'd better." Rod assisted her to her feet and brushed the sand off her dress, and off himself. That done, they dashed toward the sidewall, and its bright lights. As they reached it Lyla gave a small cry of dismay. "Oh, Rod, I've left my pocketbook. We'll have to go back and find it." "You stay right here," Rod bade, "while I run back and get it for you.

Failing to find it, he got down on his hands and knees and covered every inch of sand within a radius of five feet of where they had been. His search in vain, he paused to think. He remembered now that she had brought no pocketbook. She must have forgotten that. He arose from the sand, brushed himself off, and started back toward the boulevard. When he was within twenty-five feet of the street, he looked for Lyla. His pulses leaped. She was just being dragged into an automobile. He shouted hoarsely, then began running madly toward the vehicle. Just as he came close enough to see it clearly, it plunged away from the curb and went speeding down the street. Rod's heart sank.
