Protest Growing in North and South New York, April 7 (CNA)—Two hundred and fifty workers, 175 of them Negroes, attended a mass protest meeting in Birmingham, Ala., yesterday. A resolution was passed unanimously denouncing the brutal police attacks upon the unarmed demonstrations on March 6 and demanding the immediate release of the workers. In Rochester, N. Y., 1,500 workers gathered yesterday at Convention Hall to rostret the railroading to prison of their delegates of the Unemployed in New York, and listened to the principal speaker, a Negro worker, J. W. Ford, of the Trade Union Unity League. ...Newark, N. J., April 7—A demonstration protesting the eviction of a Negro worker's family for nonpayment of rent was staged today in front of the owners' place the Plumbing Supply Company. As soon as the workers started their march, with banners protesting against the eviction and demanding "work or wages," police rushed in to break up the demonstration. A mass meeting was held outside and the workers resisted the cops. Jay Rubin, TUUL organizer, Frank Fisher, Albert Grenelli and Jack Ballet were arrested and held on $100 ball on the charge of loitering and disorderly conduct. Another demonstration si planned for Tuesday. Four young Newark Communists were sentenced to ninety days in jail on charges of loitering and interfering in Newark police court yesterday. The charges arose out of a protest meeting over the eviction of a Negro family for nonpayment of rent. Jack Rubin, a Communist organizer of 271 Goldsmith Avenue, Newark was sentenced by the bosses' court to an additional ten days for contempt of court, when he insisted on discussing the unemployment situation out of which arose the eviction, in court. The three others were: Albert Coranelli, 48 Richmond street; Frank Fisher, 16 Wainwright street, and Jack Volic, 888 Avon avenue. Governmental Experts And Racial Leaders To Probe Facts Durham, N. C., April 7. (By the Associated Negro Press)—Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, President of Howard University; Professor Paul Edwards of Fisk University, C. C. Spaulding, banker; Professor Gordon B. Hancock, well known economist of Virginia Union University; Albon L. Holsey, Karl Phillips, Conciliator of Labor; James A. Jackson, business specialist; and Jesse O. Thomas, field secretary of the National Urban League, are a few of the "Fact-Finders" who will address the Fact-finding Conference at Durham, April 16-18. In addition a departure from the usual program has been made in that the Department of Commerce and the Department of Labor have been asked to send special official representatives, who will present the views of the government of the economic problems facing the nation as a whole today. The Department of Commerce deals with H.G. Dunn, director of the Bureau of Domestic Commerce, to deliver a special message during the conference. Secretary of Labor, James (Continued on page 8.) FIGHT JIM CROW Cleveland, Ohio, April 4 (CNA) —Chapin's Restaurant, on Superior avenue near Third street, which Jim-Crowgs Negro workers, felt the heavy weight of the union of white and Negro workers yesterday, when workers of both races picketed before it under the leadership of the Young Communist League and the American Negro Labor Congress. Seven of the pickets were arrested, and were later released on $500 bail each put up by the International Labor Defense. Eviction of Jobless Newark, N. J., April 7 (CNA)— A. Grant, a Negro worker with five children, was evicted from his home in Livingston street today and his furniture scattered in the yard because he was not able to pay the rent. Grant has been out of work since Christmas and has the burden of both earning a living and keeping his household, as his wife is dead. Man Leaps 5 Stor's To Death REFUSED ADMISSION BY HARLEM HOSPITAL, JOB- LESS SICK WORKER COMMITS SUICIDE New York, April 5 (CNA)—A victim to Hoover's "prosperity" and white ruling class race prejudice, Waverly Burns, 34 years old, unemployed Negro worker, last Saturday afternoon climbed to the roof of 301 W. 151st street, where he roomed, and jumped five stories to his death. Burns had been despondent, having been out of a job and sick for months. That very afternoon he had been refused admission to the HHS. Hospital and this proved the final staircase and not the angle of stern enough stuff to fight the capitalist system or perhaps lacking correct guidance he returned home bent on ending it all. At the Harlem Hospital every effort is being made by the authorities to cover up the fact that this Negro worker was refused admission. Dr. R. Rapp, superintendent at the Harlem Hospital, cynically denied that Burns had ever applied for admission and gave out a fairy tale that "an unidentified Negro came to the institution seeking admittance," but refused "in any way to be co-operative."

The Girl Reserve Advisors Con- Preparing Annual Meet. Plans and preparations for the 8th annual convention of the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter B. P. D. Reindeer to be held in Richmond, Va., September 14 to 17, 1920, inclusive, are well under way. Committees in charge of the many activities of the convention are thoroughly organized and are on the jjobjb. Bro. Jas. W. Loundes, General chairman, states that it is the intentions of the men who are at the helm to make this the greatest convention in history of the Reindeer. Bro. W. M. Grant, chairman of publicity and advertising committee, states that while it is a little early to give out details yet, the 1930 convention promises to exceed over the great convention of 1929 held in New York. Bro. Wirt R. Jones, chairman of the entertainment committee, states that an unusual good program is being arranged with special features for the entertainment of the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter. An educational program of particular worth is also being arranged. The social element, however, will not be forgotten. The city of Richmond and its surroundings contains much of interest to the Reindeer of America and their guests; it is also easily accessible either by train or automobile. At Newark, N. J., a high water mark was set for enthusiasm and attendance, judging from the plans that are maturing and the tenor of enthusiastic messages received at headquarters of the committee from all over the country this year's convention promises to surpass that of 1929.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIIL 12, 1930 National Ideal Benefit Society in Good Condition A. W. Holmes Founder Makes A Remarkable Report Chauvinist Attack Fillipinos Los Angeles, Calif., April 7 (CNA) —More fascist white chauvinist violence started by the American Legion in California, came to a head in a dance hall when white hooligans attacked Filipinos at a dance hall under the excuse that Filipinos were dancing with white girls. A lieutenant of detectives, G. P. Moore, who mixed in to help the thugs, emerged with a serious wound and landed in a hospital. Magnate Says Young Negroes Unwilling to Start at Bottom "Negro business languishes, not because of the scarcity of young men with the training and character necessary to become successful business men and to pilot Negro business enterprises to success," says Prof. W. G. Pearson, reputed to be Durham's wealthiest colored citizen. "Young men may be found with technical business training, but who, most usually, want to immediately take over the President's job and salary, or lack in moral fitness for positions of trust and responsibility," and untrained men are unwilling to start at the bottom and acquire the training which results from experience and which has been the making of countless thousands of successful white business executives. Manpower, not capital, is the primary need of Negro business." Prof. Pearson is known in Durham as "Dean of Negro Business Men," because of his activities in the field of business as an organizer-over a long period of years. ference will convene Saturday, April 12th, and Sunday, the 13th, Mrs. Winn, Miss Brownie Lee Jones, Prof. R. B. Daniel, Mr. W. A. Jordan and others will lead the discussions of the conference. A special service of worship entitled "Sweet Hour of Prayer," will be featured as the closing hour of the conference. This service will be conducted by the P. E. P. Club at the usual vesper hour, 5 P. M. The public is invited to attend. National Idea Society in Go A. W. Holmes F A Rent The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the National Ideal Benefit Society held its regular monthly meeting Thursday, April 3, 1930. The reports of the Supreme Secretary, Mrs. S. B. Cogbill, and Supreme Treasurer, Mr. T. L. Beverly, shows a steady increase of members and finance. Mr. Holmes stressed the fact that in eighteen years there has been only one month that the disbursements were greater than the receipts. This, he said, is due to safe management. Those present from out of town were Rev. W. L. Anderson, of Beaver Dam, Va.; Mrs. L. G. Carter, of Glen Allen, Va., and Mrs. M. E. Overton, of City Point, Va. The William E. Wise Male Chorus, of Philadelphia, Pa., will render a great musical program at the City Auditorium on April 29th at 8 o'clock P. M., under the auspices of the Richmond District of the National Ideal Society, at which time thousands of people are planning to hear these wonderful singers as they return from their Southern tour, where they have delighted large audiences in the far South. Richmond Ideal lodges are putting forth special effort in adding many new members. Much interest is created and much success is expected in the near future. A very enthusiastic meeting of (Continued on page 8.) ```markdown ``` OFFICER WHO SHOT COLORED GIRL MUST DIE Said to be First Such Sentence of White Man for Killing Negro New York, April 7.—What is said to be the first verdict carrying with it the penalty of death on the gallows, against a white man for killing a Negro, has been returned by a New Orleans jury against Charles Guerand, former emergency policeman who shot and killed Hattie McCray, fourteen-year-old cored girl who resisted his advances. Chandler C. Luzenberg Sr., was employed by the New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P., of which Dr. George W. Lucas is presiding to assist the district attorney in prosecuting the police officer, and Dr. Lucas reports: "Mr. Luzenberg, assisting the prosecution was employed by the New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the public sentiment was created by our fight. We regard it as a signal victory, yet, it is not all over. We intend to go to the court of last resort if necessary to hold our victory." The New Orleans Times-Picayune, reporting on the outcome of the trial, states that the verdict, brought in after forty-five minutes deliberation, "was received with stunned silence by the crowded court room," and later says: "Veteran jurists and attorneys declared Guerand's case was the first in their memory of New Orleans criminal history where a white man had been sentenced to die for the slaying of a Negro. Several verdicts stipulating guilty without capital punishment have been returned, but never the death penalty, they said." Witnesses at the trial testified to previous advances made by the police officer against the girl, and also riddled his contention that the girl had attacked him with a bread knife in resisting his advances.

Raymond Henderson Trophy will take place at Virginia Union University, Friday night, April 18th.

Urban League So acute has become the problem of unemployment among Negroes, that the National Urban League, has called upon its branches located in more than forty cities in the country to cooperate in the observation of a Vocational Opportunity campaign during the week of April 20-27. The local campaign will be under the direction of the Richmond Urban League, with the cooperation of the Industrial Department of the Y. W. C. A. and the two local chapters of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Dr. Joseph T. Hill has been selected as general chairman. GENERALIZATION Assured Equal Treatment New York, April 4.—In response to a letter sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to Congressmen urging oposition to the War Department's plan to segregate colored gold star mothers on the pilgrimage to their sons' graves in France, the N. A. A. C. P. is assured of "equal accommodations, care and consideration" for the colored mothers. The assurance comes in a letter from congressman Robert L. Bacon, of New York, of whom the N. A. A. C. P. thereupon telegraphed inquiring whether the War Department's assurance "no discrimination," meant there would be no segregation. In reply the N. A. A. C. P. today received the following telegram from Congressman Bacon: "Understand there is no discrimination but so you may be advised direct official, am transmitting your wire to War Department with request they respond promptly to you." At the moment of going to press the War Department had not communicated with the N. A. A. C. P. Meanwhile the same assurances of "no discrimination" and of "equal accommodations, care and comfort" have given the Jamaica branch of the N. A. A. C. P. which, through its president, Dr. Charles M. Reid, had protested directly to the War Department against segregation of gold star mothers. Other replies expressing interest in the situation have been received by the National Office and the Jamaica branch from Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., Charles Brand and Sol Bloom of New York; Samuel S. Arentz of New Jersey; Samuel G. Virginia; Franklin W. Fort of New Jersey; and Senators Robert Wagner, and Royal S. Copeland of New York. Judge (former Congressman) John F. Carew writes the N. A. A. P. C. that he is strongly opposed to segregation of colored gold star mothers but owing to his being on the bench is unable to take action against it. Labor Jury Barred By Court New York, April 7 (CNA)—Five Negro and seven white workers, elected on the Labor yub yb unions and unemployed councils, were barred by Tammany police from attending the trial of the Unemployment Delegation, elected by 110,000 workers or New York.

Pigott, a rich farm owner of Bogausia, who was charged with holding Negro farm workers in peonage. Biggott admitted before Judge Wayne G. Borah that he beat the Negro farm workers with heavy chains. He chained one runaway to a tree. However, he said he worked his help "just the same as anyone in this country does," indicating that these conditions are general throughout the South. He used the sheriffs to catch workers who ran away from his farm. The sheriffs helped him very willingly. be a mass meeting on Thursday, April The chief feature of the week will 24th at 8:15 at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

FIVE CENTS ARKER WHITE PRO- NFIRMATION GE PARKER Senate Committee Hears Walter White Protest Confirmation of Judge Parker New York, April 7.—Walter White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People appeared before the sub-committee of the Senate Committee in the Judiciary on Saturday, to voice the Association's protest against the elevation to the U. S. Supreme Court of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina. Mr. White read a prepared statement, which set forth that Judge Parker, while a candidate for Governor of North Carolina in 1920, was an address in the course of which he characterized the Negro as unfit to participate in political life and said the Republican party did not desire to Negro to enter politics. In his address, according to the N. A. A. C. P. brief read by Mr. White, Judge Parker is clearly indicated that measures to disfranchise the Negro embodied in the North Carolina State constitution, had his approval. Judge Parker's utterances of 1920 were characterized by the N. A. A. C. P. as "shameless flouting" of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. The statement continues: If Judge Parker, for political advantage, can flout two amendments to the Federal Constitution to pander base prejudices, we respectively admit he is not of the calibre which loyals intelligent Americans have the right to expect of justices of the nation's highest Court. "Attached is a memorandum of some of the important cases involving the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments so far as the citizenship rights of Negroes are concerned, which have been presented to the U. S. Supreme Court within the past fifteen years. With the economic, educational, political and other progress which the Negro is making, and with the growing consciousness on the part of intelligent Americans as to the importance of the settlement of the race problem upon the even-handed justice, it seems probable that even more cases of similar nature equal importance will be presented to the Supreme Court for decision in the near future. "Entertaining such views as he expressed in 1920 when he sought election to the governorship of North Carolina, we are strongly convinced that it would be improper to place such a man as Judge Parker upon the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court." Upon request of Senator Borah, a member of the sub-committee, Mr. White read for the record the names of officers and members of the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. Questioned by Senator Overman, of North Carolina, concerning the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South, Mr. White offered to procure for the record of hearings in sentences of such disfranchisement in Senator Overman's own State of North Carolina. This offer Senator Overman declined to avail himself of]. On his return to New York, Mr. White said of the hearing: "The protest on behalf of Negroes against the confirmation of Judge Parker, registered in Washington. It helped to crystallize the opposition to Judge Parker in the Senate. Moreover, the fact that an utterance made ten years ago was recalled and used by the N. A. A. C. P. , emphasized its long memory; and will make other southerners with similar aspirations more guarded in their utterance in future than was Judge Parker in the past. "It is to be regretted that a North Carolina Negro educator saw fit to write a fulsome letter of praise of Judge Parker in the face of Parker's derogatory and insulting statement concerning colored people." ```markdown ``` "Each one of these advertisers appreciates your business" LIVICK'S VOLA-VAPOR OINTMENT Price 50c Postpaid CHARLES A.

ALL ARE WELCOME Editorlai Page THE PLANET BORGHON THE JOB There are at least two sides to every question and when a group learns to discuss all sides intelligently, then there is evidence of development. The current controversy between our leaders relative to the appointment of Judge Parker to the Supreme Bench is an evidence of the fact that thinking it not by any means confined to the other race. The question at issue is whether the utterances of Judge Parker while a candidate for Gubernatorial honors in North Carolina or his decision in the Richmond Segregatio n case should be taken as an index to his attitude toward our race. His statement on the stump derogatory to the colored race was evidently his personal opinion and his favorable action in the segregation case was just as evident as his judicial opinion.

"Leader," March 30, 1930: The New York Times the other day in an editorial quoted a letter from Majro Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee, the leading representative of his race in the United States, who declared that his people wish to see the word "Negro" capitalized. The Times goes on to say that it gladly joins the other newspapers, north and south, that have accorded this recognition. The Louisville Times, in this connection, says that it has for a good while, about seven years, used the capitalized form, and expresses the opinion that it was the opinion that it was the first newspaper to adopt the capital "N." It may not be a matter of much importance, but The Lexington Leader wishes it to be known that it has used the capitalized form for 42 years or since the beginning of its publication, a fact to which May MOORE ST.

Attorney Joseph R. Pollard was certainly on guard duty protecting the interests of Richmond Negroes when he hailed the National Association for Advancement of Colored People which was bent on heading the North Carolina jurist. His sole purpose was to guard against any development that would tend to injure our case before the Supreme Court. The N. A. C. P. was equally alert (as per usual) in safeguarding our social interests. The quest really narrows to a decision, as to which is the more fundamental, when it comes to brass tacks, a man's opinion or his decisions. His abstract actions or his concrete actions. We should certainly thank Mr. White of the N. A. C. P. and Mr. Pollard, counsel of record in our segregation case Might reconcile God unto man, and too, Rebellious man unto his God should be Thus reconciled. While yet He prays And sweat and blood flow still in copious showers Angelic hosts from highest heav'n descend, And kneeling by the prostrate sufferer, Whose soul is filled with unabating woe, They touch Him, and, speaking in tender tones Solace they offer, saying unto Him, "Be comforted. Thou Son of God, and know Forsaken Thou art not; angels are here Thy soul to comfort in this awful hour; Be comforted, and be Thou well assured Thou needest but to speak and from above Legions angelic quickly would descend Thy soul to comfort and Thee to defend." The storm is past His hitherto distressed soul is calm, His countenance transformed by heavenly light, And by the inner glow made beautiful. A halo glorious surrounds His head, And on His countenance, saddened but calm, Are pictured resignation, and, also, Submission humble to the purposes Divine, for which into the world He came. Up to His Father's throne He lifts His eyes, And joyously, despite His bitter woe, He prays, "Father, let Thine own will be done!" (The Literary Service Bureau, 1930) James J. O'Brien, for many years a member of The Leader's composing-room force, has called attention in a letter. If the words Caucasian, and Semite, and African, and Greek, and Roman, and other such racial and national denominations, are capitalized there is every reason for the use of the capital in this instance. The Negro deserves the recognition which has been asked and which is being generally granted. The race in America has made a wonderful climb out of the depths of slavery, out of ignorance and out of poverty in the last 60 years. They have gained education, wealth, and economic and political standing. They have become an important element in the life of the country and on the whole have won and have held the respect and the good will of the dominant race among whom they have lived and worked. T. BAPTIST URCH in Kinney and Bowe Streets. B. Hancock, VALLEY NEWS --- LEXINGTON, VA. The great Methodist Conference held at Huntington, W. Va., is over; the ministers have been sent to their fields of labor for another year. Rev. F. H. Carpenter has returned to Lexington.

Mr. Carter has had a store there for more than twenty years. it is with regret that the neighborhood will lose this store. Mr. Carter sold it to some business firm. It is undecided where Mr. Carter will go. We hope he will open in some near by place. Messrs. Willie Rowland and Jack Franklin motored to Richmond last week.

Burroughs By Nannie (For the Associated Negro Press) "There is nothing in them." That is the alibi of millions of Negroes who dot not take race papers. There certainly is more about Negroes in the smallest race paper than there is about them in the largest daily paper. Put this in your pipe and smoke it—A race that underlines or despares its own desire to self-expression, how-crude, will never attain unto things more excellent. Negro newspapers have a real moral and social value in spite of their imperfections and limitations. If Negroes do any worthwhile thing the race newspaper is the only paper that tells the world the full story and carries the pictures of the actors along with it. If there is nothing in Negro papers it is because there is nothing going on, or because those who are doing it do not know the value of publicity or those who should write it up are sitting in the seat of the scourge. The critics of Negro papers could make news by starting something new, saying something different, doing something worthwhile, and advertising something worth buying. That's what makes a newspaper go and that's what makes copy for reporters. The Negro newspaper is the only source from which to get current information about the worthwhile things that are going on among Negroes. The editorial column or the columnist is the only source from which to get the viewpoint of the race on some vital questions. Only once in many moons will you find in the daily papers creditable write-ups of the addresses given, and the proceedings of even our largest meetings, or of our most pretentious undertakings. The daily papers seldom tell the stories of our greatest achievements. In fact, news reports about Negroes or Negro meetings are always written in a different style and tone from the stories that are written from the stories that are written If Negroes had to depend on the daily papers for their information they would know of very few worthwhile things that are done by their race. Of course, if a Negro steals a ninety-eight cent sweater, he is written up in the daily papers with a very vivid description of how he did the trick, and how the cop chased him, and how the citizens joined him in the chase. If instead of stealing a ninety-eight cent sweater, of other people and their big events. Even when the newspapers report such events the excerpts from the addresses that are delivered by outstanding Negroes are so emasculated that they sound almost senseless when we read them in the daily papers. The daily papers like BAD Negroes. They are the only ones who can get all the space they want on the front page of and daily papers in this country. If they are sure enough bad they can even get their pictures in, too. Negroes wearing the livery of servants can get their pictures in the photogravure see- parents Sunday. Mrs. Charles Steward was the week-end guest of her mother. Thres Among, Mrs. Rosa Williams, Mrs. C. M.

HARRISONBURG NEWS In spite of the heavy rainfall Sunday, the members of the Baptist Church turned out well, and the Pastor, Rev. A. A. B. Lee as usual, preached two wonderful semmons to an appreciative congregation. The B. Y. P. U. was also well attended. The Ladies' Aid Society, to the Hospital Auxiliary, held an entertainment at the Baptist Church last Thursday night. Mrs. B. H. Newman entertained the School children at a social party last Friday. Miss Fannie Wilson is improving nicely at this writing. Mr. William Hawkins is also doing well. Rev. Bernard Terrell of Lynchburg will preach at the Baptist Church the third Sunday in this month. The condition of Mrs. Jennie Fields remains about the same. tion of the Sunday papers. The good Negroes are given an inch or two in the a-men corner of the pacent sweater that same Negro had purchased a home in an exclusive neighborhood or opened a good business, the papers would not have said a word about it. The Negro newspaper should have the unstinted support of the race because it publishes all of the good news and the constructive race ideals that will help us forward. The men who fight the battles of the race with their pens and broadcast our achievements week by week, small though those achievements are, and smaller still the vehicle of expression through which the stories come to us, are doing the races an invaluable service. Negro business men should advertise in race papers. That is the kind of support that will make any paper bigger and better. Many Negro papers carry questionable advertisements in order to get money to run on. All of that goofer bag, rabbit foot, and love powder "bunk" is carried to pay for the Social Column for which the elite, whose names are carried therein, never pay a cent. The best side of Negro life would never be told if it were not told by Negro editors and their news gatherings. "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn." Our papers could give better service if the wise ones who know more than Solomon would put down their hammers and put up their money. The head of every Negro home should subscribe for at least one good race paper and see that it is read in their home. Every Negro leader, preacher, teacher, or worker among the people should do the same. Every child above the seventh grade should be made to read a race paper every week and discuss with or tell their parents what they have read. Race pride comes as a result of race knowledge. Get you a race paper and read it. If there isn't anything it get up and do something so that the editor can have something to put in it. We will never get anywhere by simply criticising what is being done and not doing anything to improve it. If you do not like what is being written, the job is open take it and write something that is worth reading. Every editor in the country is looking for somebody RICHMOND SOCIETY Mrs O. H.

The Magic City boys staged a first inning which ended 1-0 in favor of the visitors. ‘The second comeback and drew blood in the inning ended 2 all with State mak- jing a lone marker in the third in- ning to tie the score. Neither team scored during the fourth and fifth innings, but the score was tied again in the sixth inning when the visitors had two men to make it over the home plate and the State eased in one, making the score 4 all. Each scored one in the seventh and neither scored in the eighth. The visitors made one score in their half of the ninth to untie the score and then Severn Frazier knocked a homer to tie it up again, The bases were full with only one out when Anderson, star fielder, came to the bat and knocked a fly that brought in Trimble to give the necessary marker for State's vic- tory. Wheeler “Lazy” Hardy was on the mound for State and served quite effectively for nine innings, fanning nine men and allowing nine hits which netted six scores.

Tiger Flowers, “The, Fighting Deacon,” the Pride of the Ring | Well, folks, just like I told you, I am back to’ tell you another story about a great prize fighter, and I hope you will enjoy reading this one. This week I am going to give you a short story of “The Fighting Deacon,” the pride of the pugilistic world.’ His real name is Tiger Flowers, but on account of his ‘ring association he has been given several names, @I know his as “The Fighting Deacon” from Georgia, and therefore in speaking of him I al- ‘ways use this name, naCt all the prize fighters whom 1 have seen fight, and I have seen numbers of them, I think The Fighting Deacon is the most be- loved of them all. He was not of that rough element from- which most of the pugilists come. There is no record of any decision, no matter how rotten it happened to be, that he disputed a referee about. |in event he was given a bad de- cision he only considered it bad management on his part, and poor judgment on the part of the ref- eree, It was this faculty more than any other that won for him the respect of all the fans, and then, too, he is never known to take a flop. He believed in fighting either to the end and never give up until the last gong was sounded. | “Slowly but surely ambition led him to the goal that is seldom reach- ed by the one jump route. There was another distinct characteristic he possessed and that was he put Go dbefore everything he under- took, and never once believed that he would meet with defeat, regard- less of the reputation, size or the weight of his antagonist. |" T met the Deacon a few days be- fore his disastrous operation which resulted in his death, and we dis- Making Preparation 1For Tukegee Relay (By the Associated Negro Press) | Tuskegee Institute, Ala, April 3. —Twenty-two girls answered the call for rack candidates in order to qualify for the Tuskegee Relays, May 3. ‘The competition in Tuskegee’s Fourth Annual Spring Carnival promises to be exceedingly keen, |judging from the entries already received by the Relays manager.

The arty on the other side hung up. "realized then that the ‘great fighter had died on the open table. Tiger Flowers, The Fighting Deacon, the pride of the pugilistic world, "had fought his last fight, and lost—death had claimed him in the first round of his fight. ‘The death of Tiger Flowers took away from the ring one of the most beloved pugilists the ring has ever produced, This cartoon drawn by Mr, Hirsch, will give you an idea of how the great fighter looked when in action. Tiger Flowers is the only colored fighter to have worn the middleweight crown. He ranks with Jack Johnson, Joe Gans, Joe, Wilcott, making up the Big Four, the only colored men to hold the championship crown. Flowers was considered as the most conservative of all of these great fighters. He made money and he saved it, and when he died his family did not suffer for the necessities of life, He lived a clean, religious life; Flowers was after al the greatest fighter that has ever lived—morally, socially and_religi- ously. The death of Flowers to from the fight fans a clean, cle and scientific fighter. He will f ever temain in the minds of the pugilistie world.

For the business of catching and preparing furs for their diverse uses on the market involves at least twenty of the most highly skilled professions in this country, according to Don L. Omo, president of A. B. Shubert, Inc. of Chicago, largest house in the ordering exclusively in American raw furs. "Sorting, grading, clipping, and dyeing American raw furs, which are found in such profusion and variety in all parts of the country are really highly skilled, distinct professions in themselves," Mr. Omo said recently. "They are involved in changing the little rabbit skin, for example, into the fashionable, close-cropped, warm-toned lain—or into the imitation chinchilla which requires many different processes under many skilled hands."

"Scientific studies of track athletes prize fighters, marathon runners baseball players, oarsmen, and soldiers have shown that the deciding factor in endurance and courage is sugar in the blood." declared Ferdinand A Bunte of Bunte Brothers Chicago candy manufacturers, in an address here "A man's ability carry on successfully through an athletic struggle may depend on how much candy may eaten before the contest." That is why football players jugglers and track athletes are frequently given malteser bars while training and during the event itself to revive flaxing energy. "The stimulus of a contest causes successful athletes to increase the amount of sugar in their circulation. In a long struggle the supply is gradually used up. Candy provides quick fuel to the body. It enables an athlete to transform this fuel into vital HARD- HITTING ART SHIRES energy which sticks him in giving the added punch or extra stride that means victory instead of defeat." the popular seal has made the demand for the muskrat greater than that for any other native fur. "From ten to fifteen years are required to produce an expert furgrader. Most of the men spend years learning to judge furs of one special section of the country. It is further complicated by the fact that there are seasonal changes in animal-skins. So far as is known the ermine is the only animal which radically changes its coat with each season, but all animals change slightly. There is a best season for each—and our furgraders must know which season will produce the best furs of every species. "Although trapping is the oldest activity in the country, we are constantly learning new methods of treating furs and pelts. The commercial uses of furs include: use for coats, trimmings, linings, and pelts with increasing demands for all kinds of fur garments."

"It is a hardy baby that can thrive under the 'remote control' treatment of neighbors and friends," said Mrs. Fischer. "Such advice may be given with the best intentions in the world, but neighbors and friends are notoriously bad physicians. Babies grow so rapidly that they frequently change in the course of twenty-four hours. What is good for them at one age may not be advisable a little later. The baby's health program should be adjusted to meet its constant physical changes and this program should be supervised constantly by a proficient doctor.

The police and the city authorities will make every effort to terrorize the leaders in this movement from putting their plans into operation, ‘This will be especially true of the South where white workers are arrested for ap- pearing on the same platform with Negro speakers. Young Aftists Receive Recognition Another worthy contribution to the winter season of musical events was provided last night in Central High Auditorium when Miss Hortense Phrame, violinist, and Miss Eneida Hamlett, pianist, ap- peared in a joint recital. Playing before a good-sized audience these two young artists offered a pro- gram of pieces in their respective fields of music that provided a very pleasant evening for those who attended and their efforts were enthusiastically received. Miss Phrame is a resident of Springfield and is now studying the violin at the New England Con- servatory of Music. She is a pupil ‘of Minot Beale, She was graduated from Technical High School and ‘was for several years a student of Mrs. Florence S. Fay, local violin instructor. Miss Hamlett is a resi- dent of Arlington Heights. She was graduated from New England Conservatory in 1929. At the pres- ent time she is organizing a finish- ing school for young Negro girls, which is the first attempt of its kind in the East. Both young wo- men _shéwed themselves as having considerable talent and possessors ef artistic sense as well as ability. Friends of Miss Phrame acted as ushers. During the recital both artists received several bouquets. The concert was sponsored by a long list of patrons and patro- nesses.—Springfield (Mass.) Union.

In the old days the mothers earned more than their keep. On the farms the women did the work which brought in the cash. ‘Everything about us today seems to make it easier for women to go out to work,” she continued. | “I cannot imagine a better life than that of the mother of a large family. It is varied and not in any way monotonous. I do not see why the young women do not settle down to tho serious business of having eight or ten children and making a good job of it and having a lot of fun at it “Shopping is the major occups- tion of women today and s good shopper can save plenty of money. But your part-time mother must take what the shops offer her, even though she doesn’t want it”” ‘Miss Perains claims that in the final summing up, the emotional and cultural sacrifices in the lives of the children of part-time moth- ers cannot be balanced by the ad- ditional advantages provided by the parpiyr yaar Sypabh ae Coloredéales Make Great Headway pee ua aE Bachan Washington, D.

Erected and equipped by the women of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the plant consists of an administration building with business offices, kindergarten, day nursery, and club rooms; modern gymnasium, well equipped; audito- rium seating 1,000 people; and ad- jacent playground serving 100 chil- dren daily. The members of both races take great pride in the institution and co-operate heartily in the effort to make its work effective. The pas pose of Bethlehem House is defined as “that of a community center, seeking the civic, social, moral, and spiritual uplift of the people whom it serves.” The work is carried on through clubs of women, boys and gs. night school for adults, sew- ing and cooking classes, day nur- sery, kindergarten, baby clinic, case work, family visiting, and ‘Bible school. The center serves also as a laboratory for the departments of sociology, physical training, home economics, education, and music at Paine College. The institution was begun in 1912 by Miss Mary DeBardeleben, a pi- oneer in interracial work, and is at present directed by Miss Thelma Stevens and a staff of four assis- tants.

Washington was father of the admirable idea of a traveling school on wheels. More than 20 years ago, his cherished scheme was hatched into reality away down South in the country sections of Alabama. To begin with, a demonstration wagon pulled by a horse and piloted by an agricultural expert toured the state, spreading its gospel of better farming and rural living conditions. Meetings were held in the smaller country communities. Families came from near and far to learn about the messages offered by the touring agricultural missionary. Demonstrations —— "how-to-do shows," so to say — were features of every meeting. The traveling teacher taught his students how to build poultry houses and other simple farm buildings, how to handle tools, sharpen saws and similar operations. He showed his new friends how to plant, cultivate and harvest their crops and advised them concerning the marketing of those cash crops. He instructed them about the practical methods of live stock farming. The woman folks were not neglected. They were taught how to cook, can, saw and garden. They were also schooled in the A, B, C's of sanitation, farm conveniences, comforts and labor-saving appliances for use in the home. Year after year, this wagon school rambled rural highways and byways. It won friends and supporters wherever it journeyed. Eventually, the stern tests of time shunted it into discard. It wore out and went to pieces. Alabama countrymen came to the rescue. They raised funds by popular subscription, purchased and equipped a motor truck to continue the worth while work. Ultimately this traveling school which runs by gasoline power was donated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to aid Uncle Sam in his practical missionary work among southern farmers.

Classes are formed, forthwith, for improvement activities. One class, for example, cleans the dooryard, plants flower seed and sets out trees and shrubbery procured from neighboring woodlands.

Another group is shown how to make durable whitewash and water paint, how to apply these materials and thus improve the appearance of the farm buildings. Others prepare the land and plant a vegetable garden. Small fruit trees and berry bushes are set out. The rural nurse instructs mothers in how to care for their children, how to maintain the home in sanitary and healthful condition, what foods to prepare and the simple home remedies efficient when any of the family become sick. There are many other classes in canning, candling eggs, terracing fields, weaving, making rugs and fancy baskets, soap making, lawn building and dyeing cloth. From 50 to 100 or more students attend each school.

It is really wonderful to note the changes which occur in one of these Alabama communities after several visits of the efficient school on wheels. Shacks, squalor and shiftlessness disappear as though by magic as a result of the teachings of this emissary of better standards of living. This traveling school has accomplished remarkable results in teaching the farmers to raise cotton successfully despite the regular ravages of the boll weevil, a destructive pest that collects more than $200,-000,000 in tribute annually from American cotton growers. For many years now, Uncle Sam has worked in active cooperation with Tuskegee Institute, the notable institution established by Booker T. Washington. The improvement of rural life for colored farmers has been the laudable ambition of this persistent campaign which has paid golden dividends in outstanding achievements. Each day after the school is over, all the students — both young and old — play amusing games under competent direction. Volley ball, tug of war, foot racing, shoe racing and other simple sports. The old folks forget aches and infirmities for the time being and enjoy the contests and sports as thoroughly as do their youthful sons and daughters. Educational motion pictures and phonograph concerts in the evening add enjoyable entertainment to the program.

One of the remarkable developments of the school on wheels and its unique training courses has been the establishment of community workshops throughout Alabama. Community groups have been organized in local clubs. Each member pays a small fee -- usually several dollars -- into a general fund which is used to buy land, build a small workshop and equip it with a complete outfit of community tools. The members gather at this shop on Saturday afternoons and rainy days and repair farming implements, shoe horses, make simple tools and perform other necessary work. Each of these shops and its tools is in the charge of a local custodian. All broken tools must be replaced at the user's expense. Tools can be removed from the community shop only with the custodian's consent. He keeps tab on each and every tool. The members of the club in addition to performing all their personal repair and construction work also do work for neighbors for pay. These clubmen have access to both woodworking and metal-working tools in their community club. Were it not for the cooperative community workshop, these farmers would not be able to afford such hand and power tools. Wherever tested, this community tool owenrship and central workshop scheme has proved practical. It is one of the most popular outgrowths of the Booker T. Washington touring school. 100 Making Our Faces Over to Suit Us Now you can become beautiful over-night!

Note the Clean Cut Profile SCIENCE has come to the aid of those who wish the kind of faces that Nature forgot to give them. Somehow, most of us would like to have things made over. We don't like our names, or we don't like our hair, our eyes, teeth, noses, lips. We are never quite satisfied with the deal that Nature gives us. And this is natural. Science now, has come to the aid of those who want to change their faces. By various methods we can change the type and style and texture of our hair. We can have our teeth changed to suit us. By various aids we can powder and paint to improve upon the skin and its texture, thus it is natural that a successful method has been found to change our faces. Nothing is permanent to-day for the man or woman of yesterday may be found next month looking altogether different. Plastic surgery is the Cinderella which has waved the wand that banishes senility, brings beauty out of deformity, and satisfaction when we pass the mirrors and the admiring glances of friends and the envy of those less fortunate. The miracle of plastic surgery, as a science, is the result of intensive ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—April 12, 1930 work practiced in the hospitals of the World War. Brought face to face with the need, surgeons quickly learned just how to change the nose or make it over, shift the mouth, remake an ear, build out a cheek and do a hundred other things that saved wounded men for presentable appearance in later life. The first attempts made in the hospitals of France have been improved upon. The technique of this art has been perfected, studied and experimented with, until there are more than one hundred qualified plastic surgeons in the United States that can successfully re-make the body, particularly the face. Since the World War, the entertainers, the show people, have been the greatest supporters of plastic surgery. This is natural. A fresh, unwrinkled, youthful face, with lines of beauty and winsomeness, has a powerful and valuable appeal that is quickly evident at the box-office. The motion picture world was one of the first to patronize in large numbers the plastic surgeon in order that an attractive chin and a winsome mouth might be presented upon the silver screen. A saucy nose with just the right tilt in harmony with other facial lines was discovered to mean an extra row of figures at the left of the decimal point on the contract and the salary check. Negroes are now welcoming the art of the plastic surgeon.

SMITH Talented Negro Writer "She Tilted Her Red Lips Up to Rod to Be Kissed" Perhaps the most remarkable contribution this country has made to the world is FREDERICK DOUGLASS. For every other great character America can bring forward, Europe can produce another equally as great but when Douglass is brought forward, he cannot be matched. In the teeth of prejudices and in the face of nearly every kind of hindrance and drawback, he came to be one of the foremost ( SYNOPSIS Rod Herrick, of Golden Arrow, Montana, has come to Chicago to enter the university. It is spring and he intends to earn enough money to enter school by fall. His lawyer friend, Martin Thompson, takes him to a party given by Alderman Durant for his daughter, Lyla. Lyla, Rod, unused to society's ways, treads on the girl's foot and is insulted for his clumsiness by Reggie, her fiance. To avert trouble between the two, she takes Rod into the garden where he tells her of his life in the West. A warm friendship springs up between them. Later, Lyla, Reggie, Rod, and several others go to the Swamp Hut, a cabaret, where Reggie drinks too much. He strikes Rod who fails to return his blow. Lyla thinks Rod is a coward, but she learns differently when he takes her from Wolf, a notorious gangster who had snatched her from Reggie's arms while they were dancing. Wolf attacks Rod and is knocked out. Several of Wolf'senchmen also attack the youth but are routed just as police raid the place. Rod is able to get the girl safely out of the place. The next night, as he leaves her home after having spent the evening with her, he is kidnapped by Wolf and his gang who take him out of the city in their car. They tell him they are going to kill him, but he is saved by federal agents who are laying in wait for bootleggers. manager of prizefighters. Kling, who was in the cabaret when Rod fought with the gangsters, offers him a contract) become a boxer, and Rod accepts in order to make enough money to enter school. At the gymnasium Kling orders Kelly, another of his boxers, to put on the gloves with Rod in order to see how skilled his new fighter is. Kelly, afraid that Rod may replace him, tries to harm him when they get into the ring, but Rod knocks him out. That evening Rod goes to see Lyla. They go for a walk to the beach. He tells her of his love and takes her into his arms. Intoxicated with her nearness and softness he kisses her hungriily, but she averts disaster by begging him not to spoil their friendship. They leave the beach, and as they reach the sidewalk, she discovered that she hasn't her pocketbook. Rod runs back after it and when he returns he sees her being dragged into a car. A half block away, the machine crashes into the sidewalk and Rod is able to catch it. He finds Lyla's abductor is Reggie, who has been drinking heavily. However, Reggie's identity is not known to him until after he has beaten him severely. Lyla, for some reason which he does not understand, becomes angry at him and after they take Reggie to a doctor, tells him to go away. As the days pass, Rod trains faithfully and sees no one except the other fighters in the gym. He does not try to see Lyla. One afternoon his friend, Martin, takes him to a "tea party" at a young society girl's home. There is much gaiety at the party, which Rod soon discovers is caused by free drinking of liquor. He meets a seductive looking girl named Zeda, who makes him take a drink—the first one in his life. Under the influence of the liquor he kisses Zeda in the hallway of the place and looks up to see Lyla entering. Zeda laughs triumphantly and, pulling Rod into a room, slams the door. CHAPTER VI Zeda stood with her back against the door defiantly. She tilted her red lips up to Rod to be kissed. The youth rubbed his hands bewilderedly over his face, then shook his head in an effort to get his senses back. Apparently he did not even see Zeda any longer. His eyes stared past her, as though they were trying to look beyond the door to the hallway where he had seen Lyla. "Kiss me, darling!" Zeda commanded. "Let me by please," Rod muttered. "Say—Lyla threw you down once. What do you want her to think—that you're a sap?" "Get out of the way!" Rod ordered her roughly. The girl's eyes blazed. "Make me!" she challenged. "I will." Rod promised, as he seized her firmly by the shoulders. When he touched her she threw both her arms around his neck and drew her feet up off the floor so that her whole weight depended from Rod's neck. For an instant he tried vainly to disentangle himself from her tentacle-like grip, then picking her up with effortless ease he carried her across the room to a sofa and dumped her unceremoniously onto its soft surface. Without a word he turned and ran back to the door which he threw open an, dashed into the hall. Lyla ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—April 12, 1930 A man in a hat reaches out to a bull in a field.

With no "push" or "pull" to help him he scaled dramatic heights that no black American has since attained. Born at a time when the ages of children were measured by spring-time, not in sight. Rapidly he strode back to the room where the sounds of gaiety and merriment seemed to have increased trebly in the few minutes he had been absent. His eyes darted around, seeking her. "Hey. Roddie, what's the matter with you? You look like something's happened." Martin had come up and was standing beside Rod. "Have you seen Lyla?" "Lyla? Why. no. Is she here?" "She was a few minutes ago. I've got to find her." "Let's ask our hostess," the lawyer suggested, taking Rod's arm and leading him across the floor. When they reached the girl, Martin asked, "Say, Tess, have you seen Lyla Durant?" LYLA LEAVES HURRIEDLY Tess glanced inquiringly at Rod. Then she said hesitantly, "Why—why, yes—she was here for a minute, but—well, she left rather hurriedly." "What was the matter with her?" Martin inquired. "Oh, I know!" Rod cried, starting away, "and I've got to go—I've got to find her and explain." "The steer, its red eyes ro came into the range of its vis "I thought you were going to meet. Kling at four o'clock," Martin reminded him. Rod paused. "I'd forgotten. What time is it now?" "It's exactly three-thirty," Martin informed him, as he consulted his watch. "You'll have to make it snappy." Torn by indecision, Rod stood perplexed for an instant. His hostess regarded him with sympathetic eyes. "Zeda is bad medicine for little boys," she informed him gently. "Whatever happened is entirely my fault," Rod defended a little stiffly. "But I've had a very nice time," he concluded less formally. "Thanks a lot." He left them abruptly. "Say! Let me in on this," Martin demanded, of Tess. "What happened? Why, when, and where?" "Well, you see it was like this," Tess began in a low voice. Then she told Martin of Lyla's arrival in time to see Zeda in Rod's arms. Martin whistled. "That's a tough break for Rod. He's really 'looney' about Lyla." By catching a motorbus on the nearby boulevard, Rod managed to get down to his manager's office at the appointed time. Kling was sitting at his desk absorbed poring ribution this country has K DOUGLASS. For every man bring forward, Europe great but when Douglass be matched.

"Have a sit down while I finish looking over these papers." Rod sank into a chair. Abstractedly he glanced around the office. The floor was covered with a thick, darktoned rug of heavy yielding material. The desk at which Kling sat was of carved mahogany, and its inkwell and penholder were of some lovely material resembling jade. On the tan, roughly textured walls hung a few tasteful pictures. It was quite unlike what Rod would have thought a prize fight manager might occupy. It was more like the quarters of some wealthy executive. Then he smiled to himself. He remembered Kling WAS wealthy, and he was an executive. He had learned that, in addition to managing a large number of fighters, his manager also had an interest in one of the largest athletic arenas in the city. So boxing, Rod decided, was not just a game, but a well developed business. rilling wildly, its nostrils dilated ision." "All right, Cowboy," Kling remarked, as he folded up the papers he had been perusing, and thrust them into his pocket. "We are ready to go. But first I got a surprise for you. A real nice surprise. What do you think?" "What is it?" asked Rod a trifle incuriously. His mind was on Lyla and the events of the past few hours. "I got a fight for you! A good one." Rod's interest quickened. "A fight? Gee, that's great, Mr. Kling. I feel like doing some fighting. The sooner the better.. When does it come off?" "That's the spirit!" Kling applauded. "I'm glad you want a real fight. I'll tell you. I've got such confidence in your ability that I've done something everybody will call me crazy for. You know that the light heavyweight champ fights here in two weeks? Well, I got you the semi-windup fight on that card!" ROD'S BIG CHANCE Rod whistled incredulously. "But, Mr. Kling, that's an important spot. I thought only fighters with national reputation fought the next most important fight on a championship card." "Sure. That's right. But after the fight you're gonna have a na- the age, with an enviable reputation est. of the Atlantic.

He knew nothing of his father, neither could he boast of a family tree. He was a man of indomitable courage and strength. The dramatic life of this matchless genius begins soon in picturesque illustrations in the Illustrated Feature Section. WATCH FOR IT! "I'll beat him, all right," Rod promised. "Aren't you even curious to know who he is?" Kling asked narrowly, his keen eyes watching Rod's face. "I've got two arms, two legs, and whatever else the boy I'm going to fight has got," Rod declared significantly. "Thataboy!" Kling commended. 'Well, when I tell you who your opponent is, you are going to be surprised and no fooling!" He lowered his voice confidentially. "It's Mickey Latzo, runner up to the middleweight champ. His manager took this fight because he figured his boy would beat you easy. And boy, if you fool him, you're a sure shot for a fight with the champ of your division within the next two months!" "Oh, gee, Mr. Kling! Don't you think that fellow's a little too good for me?" God wavered. "What did you just tell me?" Kling gemanded. "That still goes!" Rod cried. d and frothing, halted as Rod "All right, then. You see, when I do a stunt like this, the newspapers will just about eat it up. I can see the headlines now: COWBOY HERRICK MAKES DEBUT IN RING AGAINST NEAR-CHAMP WESTERN BATTLER TO MEET LATSO IN FIRST TRY or maybe," Kling continued enthusiastically, "they'll say something like this: TO PIT THE COWBOY FIGHTER AGAINST CHALLENGER OF CHAMPS WESTERNER'S FIRST BATTLE TO BE AGAINST MIDDLEWEIGHT CROWN CONTENDER." Kling's eyes sparkled. "Boy, what publicity we will get. And if you win," he paused dramatically to blow a kiss toward the ceiling, "why, you'll be the most talked of fighter in the world—the whole world, Kid!" "Whew!" breathed Rod. "You scare me to death!" "I feel it in my bones you're going to beat him!" Kling assured Rod confidently. "But do not get the idea that it is going to be easy. It's not. Latzo is a tough baby, and no fooling. But I've got a former sparring established on ius—a man atter.

"But now we got to hurry. I didn't tell you yet, but we are on our way now to sign up for the fight. Let's go!" **** They had but a few blocks to go, and they went on foot. As they pushed their way through the downtown streets, many persons hailed Kling, and looked at Rod curiously. As they were passing a drug store Kling suddenly clapped his hand to his head and halted. "Golly. I come near forgetting something!" he exclaimed. "Come on inside this drug store, Cowboy. We're going to call up a coupla newspapers so some reporters can be on hand while we sign up." BIG PUBLICITY The call did not take long. Rod, standing nearby, heard Kling disguise his voice a trifle while he informed somebody that if they wanted to be in on something good to hustle right away over to the offices of the Chicago Arena where Kling was going to sign up his new fighter, who had never had a fight, with Mickey Latzo, chief challenger of the middle-weight champion. He listened a moment. "Well everybody knows Kling ain't crazy, so maybe you'd better hustle a reporter over to see what it's all about." Kling was smiling humorously when they came out. "I'll bet there will be newspaper men already there when we get there. Let's walk kinda slow, Cowboy." Accordingly they drawled along, with Kling halting to peer into various store windows. "See, Kid," he cried, at one of the places. "There is a bathrobe of bright red. I'm going to get that for you, and have the picture of a horse—no, a steer—no—iet's see—well, we'll figure out something to put on the back of it to carry out the idea that you really are a cowboy." Rod laughed. "I never had a silk dressing gown in my life, Mr. Kling," he confessed. "Yes, when you go to the ring before a fight, everything like that helps," Kling informed him. "Tiger Flowers, the ex-middleweight champion, had a tiger on the back of his robe." By now they had reached the entrance of the Chicago Arena Building. Kling led Rod up the stairs into a palatial suite of offices. A smartly dressed girl asked them their names, and when Kling told her, she showed them into an inner office where several men had already gathered. At a big flat-topped desk sat a man with heavy features and iron grey hair. He was the matchmaker for the Arena. On the other side sat a thin, dapper man with highly polished hair, fox-like eyes, and a suave smiling manner. On the hand which he extended with an appearance of cordiality to Kling, there sparkled a large diamond. This was Karnes, Mickey Latzo's manager. "Why, if it isn't my old friend Kling!" he cried. "Put 'er there." Kling shook hands gingerly. "How's the boy bandit?" he asked. "This can't be the boy you're bringing to sign up for fistic combat with my Mickey?" Karnes exclaimed with feigned incredulity, as he stared at Rod. "Why. this frail child appears to be nothing but a boy." Rod flushed angrily. "Never you mind, Mister Karnes," Kling broke in quickly. "He is just a young child, and he's not very strong--" his voice changed, grew sharper, "but he's got enough stuff to slap your dear little Mickey down!" "Oh. 'izzat' so?" a new voice demanded. Kling looked up to face a thickset youth whose broken nose, scarred face, and badly curled ears bespoke the veteran prizefighter. "Oh, hello, Mickey." Kling greeted him. Then unabashed, he went on. "I was just telling your manager Continued on Page Four THE DARK KNIGHT 4 7 (Continued from Page Three) how my boy was going to put the sign on you. Step over this way and meet him." Latzo strode across the room swiftly. Rod extended his hand expectantly, but when the other youth was within a foot of him, he saw that Latzo had no intention of shaking hands with him. ROD AND LATZO SIGN "We'll do our paw wringing when we meet in the ring," Latzo growled, his dark grey eyes glaring into Rod's. Rod smiled into the glaring eyes. "OK," he said quietly. He had not moved a muscle, nor had his face betrayed any sign of trepidation when the other fighter strode up to him. The man behind the desk spoke up suddenly. "Cut the comedy," he ordered. "Kling, you and Karnes come on over here so we can get together on terms, have these punks sign up, and get it over with." Several newspaper men, who were sprawled around the office, scratched busily at their pads for a minute, then relaxed into slouching attitudes again. Seeing that his glare had not disconcerted Rod, Latzo turned on his heel and walked over to a window which overlooked the busy street below. Karnes and Kling drew chairs up to the desk. Rod found a seat. For the next half hour the office was filled with loud talking, wrangling, and even vituperation as Karnes and Kling sought to come to terms. "I should give you twenty-seven per cent," Karnes shouted, his suavity forgotten, "when this punk kid hasn't even had a fight, so you say." "What has that got to do with getting a fair cut of the money?" Kling demanded. "If you think you've got such an easy fight with my boy, why don't you be satisfied to take the big end and call it square?" "Folks aren't coming out to see YOUR boy fight, and you know it!" Karnes insisted vehemently. "They are coming out to see Mickey slap him over, because they know Mickey is going to be the next middleweight champ." "Oh, yean?" Kling inquired softly "Well, lemme tell you something, Mister Karnes—after this fight there will be a new challenger! See?" "Sez you!" Karnes snorted. "Yup! Sez me." Kling retorted placidly. "But that ain't getting our terms straight. I say that I'm going to have twenty-seven per cent for my boy, and that goes. Not a nickel less!" "And I say that you're not!" Karnes insisted. "You're going to take twenty per cent and like it!" "Well, maybe twenty-five per cent," Kling wavered. Karnes was quick to follow up this advantage. "I said twenty per cent!" "You are a bandit," Kling mourned sadly. "But I wouldn't take twenty. I'll take not a penny less than For hair beauty 2 Follow the lead of Gladys May, vivacious actress in Shufflin' Sam from Alabama' who says she finds Exelento the most delightful hair dressing she has ever used. is the original!

"But at that you're getting about twenty per cent more than your fighter's worth. He won't be in the ring but about a half minute before Mickey bounces him out on his bean!" "We'll see," Kling prophesied. "Now, let's sign the contract." As Rod and Latzo faced each across the broad desk there was a sudden boom of a flashlight charge. Unnoticed by them, a newspaper photographer had set his camera up. "I didn't want to tell you that I was going to take your pictures, or you might change those fighting expressions on your faces and try to look pretty!" the camera man apologized. THE BOUT STAGED Kling rubbed his hands in satisfaction. Karnes also smiled. Both were old campaigners in the fistic game, and each knew the value of publicity. Even while they were arguing over the terms of the contract, each knew that the reporters were listening, and would use some of their statements. Now they exchanged knowing grins. "Well, let's get going," Kling suggested to Rod. "We want to get back over to the gym so you can get a rubdown." As they left the office, two of the reporters followed them. "We're going over to the gym," one of them said.

You, of course, realize, Vivian, that there is a lot of difference between plumpness and being "fat," but this difference is usually in numbers of pounds alone, and when you get plump it becomes comparatively easy for you to go on and gain more pounds and grow fat. Therefore, "plumpness" becomes more or less a real danger to a woman who wants to keep looking her very best. Dear Miss Fox: I am almost twenty pounds over-weight and would do almost anything to get back to the slimness I had a few years ago. I don't want to take medicine or do anything that is dangerous but I shall appreciate very much any help you can possibly give me. In spite of the fact that the fashion experts tell us that graceful lines will include just a little more plumpness in the next few months, there Here is a little secret that one of the great movie stars gave me a number of years ago and I am sure that you will find it works one hundred p. cent. relieves stiff lame muscles Clear off the floor of your bed room, lie flat down on your back and roll over. Roll over again and again, going just as tar as you can and then turn back and roll the other way. Do it rather vigorously. You should do this even if you have passed the plump stage because the more vigorously you do it, the more quickly you will roll off pounds. After you have spent five or ten minutes rolling back and forth—not half-heartedly but in real earnest—get up and take a hot bath. Have the water just as hot as you can endure it and lie in the bath for several minutes utterly relaxed. Then turn on the cold water, at the same time allowing the hot water to escape.

Turn the water on at about medium and enjoy a shower as a finishing off to your hot bath. Continue the water until it is cold and then dry yourself quickly. The cold water gives a firmness to the flesh and the hot water melts away the fat. I shall be glad indeed to hear from fat folks who want further help.

Parkway Chicago, Ill. Julia Jerome This week, a middleaged coquette of Mobile asks a question. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am forty but I am not fat and I have always been considered attractive. I am now divorced and thinking of marrying again. The man is younger than I, but he professes to be madly in love with me. He has a little money, not much, and I have some. We could live well on our combined income. But I could marry more money if I didn't love Henry. What I most fear is that I will lose my looks in a few years and that then Henry will stray. If I could be sure of his loyalty now I would be more willing to trust him in the future. But he has a young woman in his office and it seems to me, he spends more time than necessary with her. And when I throw this up to him he grows angry and takes up for her. This looks very suspicious to me. She isn't pretty at all, but she must have some very fine qualities. Do you think I should trust him blindly and go ahead and marry him? No, don't marry him. It isn't Henry you distrust, it is yourself. So no matter what Henry does, you aren't going to be completely reassured. Jealously is nothing but lack of confidence in your own power. Of course, he takes up for the girl! If you ever want to rouse a man's down. You are employing very mad tactics. Never argue with a man about another woman. Be so charming and serene yourself, so broad minded and gracious that every other woman will seem petty beside you. Give a man quality and he won't want quantity. St. Joseph's G.F.P.

He is by nature, friendly and human and able to understand the value of beauty in facial outline. Dr. Balsinger is probably America's most note plastic surgeon. Hollywood turns to him. Society slips into his operating room. Actors, members of the sporting fraternity patronize him. Black and white alike are welcomed to the benefits of his trained hand and skillful touch. Some of the brown-skinned Americans are not as well known to the news reading public, but this has in no sense denied them the satisfaction that they have secured from the results of Dr. Balsinger's operations. Dr. Balsinger is a specialist on the Lose and the chin. Someway our noses and chins are two prominent places that make or mar us. A lantern-jawed man or woman is spotted for life and it takes Love's blindness to ignore it. The human nose is another one of those protuberances that disturb us. Someway nature has never been liberal when it came to supplying perfect noses. There are too many with hooks or humps in them. There are ten millions or more that are spread out rather far on each side when perhaps they should be raised to lines of symmetry. Malformations of the human nose, no matter how varied, come within the scope of the new surgeon of beauty. Dr. Balsinger says that he has taken the "hump" out of noses of hundreds of people by a process in internal surgery. But "saddle-back" noses are his pets, and as such have been the subjects of his earnest endeavors with the scalpel. The operating procedure followed for the correcting of noses whose bridges have gone down is simple. Primarily it consists in removing from behind the ear a portion of the cartilage there whose substance is identical in its nature and formation to the cartilage of the nose. This living cartilage, with its surrounding soft tissues, following removal is immediately grafted internally into the nose, thus starting to build up a new bridge, or if there never was a proper line there, one is immediately made. New Noses Stay Put That new noses stay new, is evident from experience. When Jack Dempsey and Tunney fought for the championship it was Jack's new nose that had to stand many hard blows from the glove-covered fist battering of Gene. "Dempsey's nose as reconstructed was fully twenty-five per cent stronger than the old one, and thus was able to withstand a harder blow," according to an expert. In Europe and in some cities of America, various articles and substances have been employed in nose reconstruction. They include rib cartilage, which is non-yielding, inelastic; and parafine, ivory, celluloid, rubber and gutta-percha. However, "a nose made of ear cartilage is capable of being subjected to all the usages a 'ready-made' nose is sub- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—April 12, 1930 jected to. It can be twisted, pulled, hit hard. This is because it is made of the same material as enters into the composition of the ear. And if you can pull, twist, and hit an ear and it suffers no particular harm, the same holds good for a nose made out of ear substance." Many colored people have availed themselves of the ability of the plastic surgeon. Noses have been changed. They have experienced the same thrill that came to Jack Dempsey when he looked in the mirror and found that he had a nose that only an artist could properly admire. Our noses, somewhat, can give us self assurance and confidence, or they can make us hesitant and uncertain. We are pretty much the sort of people that our noses make us as far as our contact with others is concerned. As our noses affect us, so also do our chins. A too small or too large chin proves difficult to forget. Our eyes and the contours of our cheeks also enter into the picture shown us by our mirrors. "Fixing" the Nose For the patient a local anaesthetic is applied. After the tough layers of skin and flesh are loosened from the bridge of the nose by a small surgical knife, the minute saw is inserted and patiently sawed about to remove the cartilage that keeps the nose flat. The operation sounds painful, but in practical reality it is hardly felt by the beauty-seeker. Next the skin is cut off that is in excess of the need. This is carefully put away in a salt solution and thus preserved, for some other patient may come in needing a bit of new skin for grafting or a nose may need to be built up. The plastic surgeon Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can't be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years' standing. Local people, many of whom you know, are highly endorsing Tanlac. For example, Mrs. Ellen White says: "For years I suffered from indigestion. I got no relief from anything until I took Tanlac. After my fourth bottle, I feel like a new person and have a fine appetite." If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can't sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac.
