Atlanta, Pa., May.—Twelve southern states were represented at the annual meeting of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, held a few days ago in the Butler Street Y. M. C. A., this city. Nearly a hundred members and visitors were present, including many well-known educational men, and women promotors ministers and proins religious and civic circles. The two races were about equally represented A survey of the year's work revealed a wide variety of activities achieved in progress. Among these were scientific studies of difficult interracial situations; improvement of court justice, educational facilities, transportation, child welfare, and economic opportunity; and efforts by every available means to promote mutual understanding and co-operation between the races instead of hostility and affliction. In these efforts, it was reported, there had been increased cooperation on the part churches and other religious groups, clubs, schools, the press, and the agencies of government. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. An interesting feature was the report of the Commission's educational activities, which was made by R. B. Eleazer. It was shown that through this department the Commission is in touch with more than 2,000 newspapers, chiefly in the South, to which frequent releases are sent "interpreting each race to the other in the best light consistent with the facts." The editors, it was said, were for the most part intelligently sympathetic with the Commission's purpose and program and had given it fine co-operation in their news and editorial columns. Encouraging reports were made also as to the education work done by the Commission in colleges and high schools. Reporting for the department of wohan's work, of which she is director, Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ares outlined 1.

The prisoner was placed in the vault of the court house by Texas Ranges who attempted to protect him from the mob.

The contest evoked wide interest, enlisting many thousands of students in 160 schools in thirty-five states. In one white school 500 papers were written by students and in another a thousand were reported as having had some part in the study. Many schools participating reported deep interest and very gratifying results. It is believed that a great many young people of both races were profited by the study. The source-material used was a 5,000-word monograph entitled "America's Tenth Man," prepared by R. B. Eleazer, Educational Director of the Interracial Commission, and put into about 2,000 high schools, white and colored. Officers of the Commission expressed satisfaction with the results of the contest and announced that a similar project will probably be conducted next year.

C. when fraternal heads gathered to establish such a group, pointed out the benefit which the members could derive from the organization. and professor of Public Health there, in his address laid emphasis on need for a greater program welfare work among fraternals rather than so much stress be placed on paying sick dues or purging the dead.

NEGRO JUDGES ASSURED IN HARLEM BY ELECTIONS New York City.—(CNS.)—When Gownerer Franklin Roosevelt signed on April 21, last the bill of Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers creating a new, and Tenth Municipal Court District with two judges, a milestone was achieved for the 300,000 Negroes of Harlem. The writing of this measure into the laws of the State of New York was the culmination of a ten-year struggle by the colored group of Harlem. The present Seventh Municipal Court District extends from 110th street to Spuyten Duyvil and from Fifth Avenue to the Hudson River, and on the basis of the 1925 census has a population of 453,000. The new law splits off the Tenth Municipal Court District with the following boundaries: 110th street on the south, Fifth Avenue on the east, 155th street on the north, and the westerly boundary as follows: south on St. Nicholas avenue to 125th street, easterly on 125th street to Eighth Avenue, South on Eighth avenue to 114th street, east on 11-th street to Seventh Avenue, and south on Seventh Avenue to 110th street, and about 75 per cent of its residents are colored. It is practically certain that the two candidates on the Republican ticket will be colored, and it is possible that the same will be true of the two candidates on the Democratic ticket. The Negro acquired leadership of the Republican Party Organization in both the 19th Assembly District and in the easterly portion of the 21st Assembly District last year and that was followed by the election in each of these districts of colored Alder- and professor of Public Health there, in his address laid emphasis on need for a greater program of welfare work among fraternals; rather than so much stress being placed on paying the fees of purrying the fees. He declared, "It is better to teach one health habits and to make life attractive. Make people want to live." The speaker dwelt at length on the life extension program of the Metropolitan Lite Insurance Company, which is calculated to lengthen the life of its policyholders and reduce the company's risk. Mr. Roderick B. Harris, manager of the Order of Samaritans, Athens, Ga., spoke on the great need of fraternal organizations making industrial life insurance less burdensome to policyholders, by broadening the service and program of the fraternals and increasing confidence in fraternals on the part of the public. He gave figures showing the unusually excessive costs of carrying industrial insurance; though in no terms of disparagement. He stated that fraternal orders might well make the propositions so attractive that the individual would be able to easily see and appreciate the advantage of insurance up to $500.00 in fraternals for appreciably less cost. He took occasion to exorcize the fraternals which are burdened with doubtful and extravagant management and antiquated methods of operation. He showed that fraternal societies are essential to the economic welfare of the Negro group and that there was an urgent need for the application of science to the preservation of these societies. The audience showed much pleasure at the address delivered by Mr. James A. Jackson, business specialist from the U. S. Department of Commerce. He gave an exposition on "Trade Association Activities as Applied to Fraternals." He traced the growth of the trade association idea, giving the resulting benefits that had accrued to these organizations through combined and unified methods as well as simplicity of operation and control. He advocated the merger of small fraternals into larger and more financially substantial institutions. The Wednesday sessions were given over to symposiums on related subjects including, "Principles and Methods of Field Management," "Reinsurance and Mergers" state insurance commissioner gave a talk on the conditions of Negro fraternals in his state. Reports on the conditions of fraternal groups in the different states represented, were made and discussed. men and it resulted for the first time in ahving two colored men in the Assembly at Albany. The two judges i this Tenth Municipal Court District will not be appointed. They will be elected in the general election on November 4th, 1930. It is expected that the op-operative court elect its first Negro Municipal Court pudges in the eastern portion of the country will cause unparalleled registration of the racial group this fall. SCHOOL FIGHT LOMMS IN LEXINGTON Citizens to Petition School Board, Declares C. M. Wood. According to C. M. Wood, of Lexington, a school fight is looming. From information gleaned, it seems that the citizens are to petition the school board for a high school principal, which has been held for the past year by Rev. C. W. Cook, who recently resigned as pastor of the First Baptist Church of that city, to accept a pastorate of the Court Street Baptist Church of Lynchburg. Reports emanating from Lexington allege that the sailing of the Rev. Cook has not been the smoothest, as the lone high school teacher in the L. Downing school. The friction is alleged to come from the fact that the Rev. Cook was not allowed to have complete control of the department. And, the allaged inharmonious relations that existed between the grammar department and the high school department. The principal of the grammar school department is Mrs. Amanda Planet Begins Search for Man Eligible for Lady's Husband! Colored Boys To Navy THREE YOUTHS NOW IN LINE FOR NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. Washington—(CNS.)—With three carefully selected candidates awaiting examination, the chances that one or more Negro youths will enter the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis appears greater than at any time since 1874, when Henry E. Paker was there. Two of the candidates, William W. Thomas and John Taylor, were appointed by Oscar Depriest, from Chicago, while the other boy, Hilliam M. Chisholm, qualified in a competitive examination held by Joseph A. Gavagan of New York City. The success of Chisholm in the competitive examination against a number of white youths, indicates a sufficient scholastic ability to pass the entrance test to the academy. It is also believed that DePriest in pursuance of his determination to secure the admission of colored appointees, has seen to it that they are qualified both scholastically and physically to meet the tests. The result of the mental examinations are expected to be made known sometime this week. Those who pass must meet htehpy---osnetacineta must meet the physical test before admission to the academy.

Mrs. Rowland is a graduate of the Hartshorne Memorial Normal Dept., Rev. Cook was a graduate of the College Department of Union University. The L. Downing school of Lexington is a new plant, this so-called school, and also the second year of the junior high. It is reported that many people are ready to approach Supt Waddell on the matter of a man principal. While the other side believe equally as many are ready to leave the principalship with Mrs. Rowland. Who knows? We don't I am sure.

THE A PLANET "Hold Them But Don By Willi Editorial "Hold Them If You Can, But Don't Shoot" By William Conklin Brown By William Conklin Brown "Hold them if you can, but don't shoot." America has been disbraced again. This time, it happens in darkest Texas. Sherman is the name of the city. It has about 16,000 inhabitants, with 95 per cent. white. There are two white colleges, a Y. M. C. A., in this Athens of Texas, and twenty-seven churches. But law and order has absolutely failed in the citadel of civilization (so-called). The story is a Negro accused of attacking a white woman, and, allegedly had made a confession, the court was already to function, until Texas ruffians decided that a lynching was to be held. And, according to the press, this condition was sensed by those in authority, and the governor of the state was informed and these are his words according to the 'associated press': "Hold them, if you can, but don't shoot. If a governor of any commonwealth has made such a weak declaration we have no record of fact, it is simply a request for invitation, and I did they take it? Well, they burned the jail, pillaged business, razed the court house and roasted the accused criminal alive, and then tied a chain to the victim's THE ATHEIST AND RED MENACE A bontire of icons and sacred pictures of all sects is to be held in the Red Square in Moscow on Easter Day, says The Literary Digest for March 29th, quoting the New York Herald Tribune. The atheists will hold a mock ceremony where ten thousands new members of the "Union of Godless" will be received into the Communist Party, and in the evening there will be a motion picture parody of the Lord's Supper. During the last two months of 1929 five hundred and forty churches, sixty-three synagogues, and eighteen mosques, closed the Jewish Government. The week of March 16th was set aside by Catholics and Protestants in many nations as a special period of prayer for persecuted Russians. Many protest and calls to prayer have been drawn up by religious bodies. Some of the blasphemous Soviet replies were given in The Literary Digest for March 8th, as, for example: "We entirely recognize our guilt, says the official Isivestia weekly. Workers of the U. S. S. R. not only attempt to build, but in fact have already built their State without God, and a government without God and a government without any of God's laws." The A. B.

If a more disgraceful thing has ever happened in this country, it is not on record. Dan Moody, who was a Hoovercrat in 1928, is the governor of the state, that was the scene of this orgy. Texas has been disgraced, law and order has been made a mockery, and business has been paralyzed. As much as those of the liberal South would desire to the contrary, it seems that the only method that is left to handle lynching is for congress to pass an antilynch law. Long experience i nthis matter, has proved that might is the only law of Right. If Americh is to hold its selfrespect with the rest of the civilized world, it must stamp out lynching. This paper holds no brief so that criminal or any other form of lynching the law is the foundation of our constitution. . . and of our institutions. Those who will not respect the law must be made to respect it. A liberal Virginian, the Hon. Harry Flood Bryd, saw this in Virginia and now the national body must see it lest America shall be considered a cut-law of the nations of the world. religiosity are the samepison, intoxicating and deadening the mind, the will, the conscience, a fight to the death must be declared upon them.

AMPLIFIER: "Certainly, why this choir stands on par with any choir I have hear in this city. 'Sing on good choir, we like your singing.'" DEACON DEWIT: "I am sure that they have a wide awake S. S. and B. Y. P. U., as well as many other groups working faithfully. This church seems to be very much alive. Will you kindly give me a gist of the service?"

She, in a very appropriate manner, presented to the audience, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Barc, Vice-President of Virginia Union University, to deliver the morning message." DEACON DeWIT: "I am sure that the doctor preacht a telling sermon. Tell me what was his text?" AMPLIFIER: "Rev. Barco, after saying many things in the way of congratulation to the church and pastor, announced his text. Psalms 122:6. Words: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. His discourse was, 'Pray for the Church,' Now Deacon DeWit, is listening to hear me say; this was a POWERFUL sermon; of course it was, remember who preach it. It was very interesting, and commanded the attention of the entire audience." DEACON DeWIT: "I told you some time ago that Dr. Barco could preach alright. Why he is one of the most able theologians in the country. Go ahead and say what you were going to say about Pastor R. H. Johnson. AMPLIFIER: "I came near forgetting what I was going to say while you were talking. I say, at these anniversaries a peculiar feeling seizes as the pastor and envelopes him into its silent folds, and questions him as to his pastoral talent and stewardship. He is keeping silent during these anniversary meetings." DEACON DeWIT: "Yes, he has done well, still doing and seems no way weary. You can proceed amplifier." AMPLIFIER: "It seems that the future holds out for Rev. R. H. Johnson, a mighty harvest of more accomplishments for good under his divinely directed leadership." DEACON DeWIT: "By the way, what about the collections? I suppose that they were liberal?" AMPLIFIER: "I thought that would be the next question. I am unable to tell you. The amount raised was not announced. I'm sorry." DEACON DEWIT: "Well, I have to be going now, I really enjoyed an enjoyable afternoon. You must visit our church some time. How about this coming Sunday?" -- AMPLIFIER: "Nope, I can not get there, I am headed for Moore Street Baptist. But I will visit your church very soon. Call me next week, I'll tell you what they are doing around Moore Street. Good-by, Deacon DeWitt, I'm glad you came over." SERVICES AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHUKCH Dr. W. T.

Parker to be Associate Justice of of the United States Supreme Court. The outcome of this struggle, which has resulted in a crushing rebuke to the Hoover Administration's lily white policy, is generally credited to the leadership of the National Association for the moment of Colored People which first pronounced the Judge Parker's anti-Negro utterance more political speech while candidate for Governor of North Carolina in 1920, on the basis of that utterance, the N. A. A. C. P communicated with all its branches, in constant touch by telegraph and long distance telephone with politically influential friends in Washington and elsewhere, maintained a day-to-day check for a period of two weeks on the shifting press campaign. Southern white editors almost without exception, have admitted that without the N. A. A. C. P. opposition Judge Parker would probably have been confirmed by the N. A. A. C. P. feels that the Parker fight was blow to the Hoover Administration, which it was sought to build up the Republican party in the South through offers to sops to "ily white", or, in plain words, Negro政权. Further than this, the association feels that a long step has been taken in furthering the Negro's national fight for full recognition as a citizen, and as a voter. A statement is by the N. A. A. C. P. covering the present in a signed by Walter White. Acting Secretary The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is proud of the way Colored people throughout the United States met the critical moment, and acted as a unit. With few and conspicuous exceptions, even in the South and under serious difficulties, colored people stood firm against the man who advocated in 1920 virtually depriving them of their votes. The result of the fight, a victory in the Senate and a clear-cut defeat of the Hoover Administration is the most significant political demonstration the American Negro has ever engaged in. We are elated and grateful to colored, and to all those organizations and individuals who so tirelessly and faithfully upheld our hands throughout this gruelling contest. But the victory, decisive though it is, leaves much to be done. reality this victory is only a beginning First of all, colored citizens have before them the task of thankink their friends and dealing with their opponents. "Negroes have already shown southern demagogs with national ambitions that it no longer pays to bait the Negro for political purposes. They have shown the nation that the Negro can carry a successful, sustained, uncompromising political fight and keep it on the highest ethical plane, in defense of citizenship and human rights. It remains to demonstrate that colored people have a political memory." In this connection, and for the information of all colored editors and their readers the N. A. A. C. P. declared the following lists should be kept in sight and in mind until after t' next elections: Of those Senators who voted for Parker, the following are to stand for reelection during the coming fall and should be uncompromisingly opposed by all colored voters: Phipps of Colorado; Hasting of Deleware; Steek of Iowa; Allen of Kansas; Ransdall of Louisiana Gould of Maine; Gillett of Mass setts, Harrison of Mississippi; Keye of New Hampshire; Baird of New Jersey Simmons of North Carolina; McCulloch of Ohio; Grundy of Pennsylvania; Me calf of Rhode Island; Blease of South Carolina; Glass of Virginia; Coff of West Virginia; and Sullivan of Wyoming The terms of the other Senators who supported or were paired for Parker expire as follows, and colored voters should carefully bear in mind the names and the dates: Bingham of Connecticut; 1933; Dale of Vermont; 1933; Fess of Ohio; 1935; Goldsborough of Maryland; 1935; Green of Vermont; 1935; Hale of Maine; 1935; Hatfield of West Va. 1935; Herbert of Rhode Island; 1935; Jones of Washington; 1933; Rean of New Jersey; 1935; Odde of Nevada; 1933; Patterson of Missouri; 1935; Reed of Pennsylvania; 1935; Shortridge of California; 1933; Smoot of Utah; 1933; Thomas, John, of Idaho; 1935; Towsend of Deleware; 1935 Walcott of Connecticut; 1935; Waterman of Colorado; 1933; Watson of Indiana; 1933; Broussard of Louisiana; 1933; Verman of N.

Fields, twice victorious over Thompson in 10-round engagements was a top-heavy favorite to either win by a knockout or get the verdict. They were betting as much as 2 to 1 on Fields but Thompson won ten ent of the 15 rounds; while three went to Fields and two were counted as even. The decision met the approval of the 15,000 persons present at the fight. At the end of the fifteen-round struggle, referee (Slim) McCielland promptly raised Thompson's hand as the new champion. Thompson is the first Negro to gain the welterweight crown within the last 29 years. Joe Malcott held the title in 1901. N. A. A. C. P. APPEALS FOR FUNDS The first to congratulate the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. on the National Medical Association, who promptly upon hearing of the Senate jumped into his automobile and drove in to the National Office at 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, pulling out $25.00 in bills as his contribution toward the expenses of the fight. The N. A. A. A. C. P. estimates that the cost of the Parker fight, which was carried on day and night, will be upwards of $2,000. Telegraph expenses alone during April amounted to $301.31 and long distance telephone calls approximated $100.00 during that month. In addition to this the N. A. A. C. P. had heavy extra mimegraphing, multigraphing, and printing bills, messenger service charges, photostatting, clipping service charges, as well as the travelling expenses of its staff who addressed was meeting in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and other cities. "We have spent more money than we had in this fight," declared Mr. White "counting upon our friends and members to pay the bills.

Two pilgrims of the highway, Straight on their journey bent, With ba ed thoughts confusing, Their souls within them rent. The tragic death of Jesus, Filled them with startling fears Shocked by his awful ending, Their eyes were athed in tears. His life's career and service, And now the first of Easter The countryside had learned; Their hearts for Jesus yearned. They feared the Master's work had failed; The disciples fled aside; The hated of Rome remained To rule with pomp and pride. Men from the tomb had taken the ody of the Lord: And to His faithful followers, They left not sign nor word. Distressed and dispirited, Their souls within them bled, And felt His noble teachings Were like Himself, now dead. Thus deeply lost in sorrow, They sojourned on their way Which marked that cruel day! Discussing the crucifixion When suddenl yappeared A stranger at their side, And questioned why their sadness; Their sorrows to confide What! surprised, the pilgrims asked: “Art thou only a strange: In Jerusalem, and know'st not Te' end of Him born in a man- ger?” To them, the logic of events, Disclosed He to their view; And, of Christ's ministry, He told them what he knew. Unfolded He his mission, His own most precious life; The story, the resurrection, The victory i the strife. Of all that He had wrought, So vivid the description Their hearts now burned within them, As He the pilgrims taught. As near they now the village, And Emmaus drew in sight. The stranger here made known Himself And left them in His flight. The amazing truth they learned From One they thought was dead; It gave them strength to trust Him; For them His blood was shed. --- ..CENTRAL CAFE Quick Lunch....Never Groom. 532 N. 2nd Street 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 ```markdown ``` A AGENTS OUTSTEP Shampoo, 1 Pa rection for Selling, S.

A negro fighter in the heavy weight class was contending for the right to fight the champion of the world. Jack Dempsay, his last victim, who had suffered defeat under his nands, was Maloney, a husky Boston white boy whom the public had hoped would change the tide of battle and place he giant colored fighter among the long list missing in action, but tate would not have it so. The man whom I have reference to is none other than Harry Wills known as the Black Panther. He was pronounced by the New York Boxing Commissioners as the logical contender for the heavyweight crown, and Jack Dempsay the title holder was ordered to fight Wills or forfit his claim to the crown. Well in some way they managed to slip around and put another man up in the place of the champion. The man was Jack Sharkey, Wills agreed to meet him and the bout was staged at Ebbets Field. Sharkey, a clever little fighter aided by father Time conquered the great colored fighter in fourteen rounds. All hope of being colored man wearing the heavyweight brown loosely did not discourage the colored fighters however. Colored fighters in every class began to spring up and at last a colored boy was mached in the welterweight class. This boy was a young lad from Oakland, Cal., named young Jack Thompson, in one of the most sensational bouts of ages. He proved to be a master of the situation. With a heart of a lion and the boxing skill possessed only by Joe Gans, known as the old Master, defeated Jackie Field the title holder in a blistering fifteen round battle in the Olympia Arena, Friday, May 9, 1930. "Slim" McClelland the refree raised the colored boy's hand in victory. The large crowd which numbered nearly 20,000 roared with applauses. Field burried his head in his corner, crushed in defeat and cried like a baby. Field won the title July 25, 1929 from Joe Dundee on a foul in two rounds. Thompson is the first colored man to win the world's welterweight title in twenty-nine years; since Joe Walcott won the honor from Rube Ferns by knockout in the fifth round in nt. in 1901. Thompson won the fight without question. He won ten of the fifteen rounds with Field taking three times the title, twice both even being. Thompson, master of the wolf, with his clever ring experience, fought a battle. Field was so worn out after the tenth round he hardly had sufficient strength to stand in the ring. Thompson in the first three rounds made a very poor showing. He was pushed all over by Field, scoring repeatedly with vicious right upper cuts to the chin and lefts hooks to the body, in the second round the crowd was on its feet with excitement as field cracked Thompson, staggering him and making his knees snake beneath him.After wrestling in a clinch, Thompson suddenly lashed out with his favorite punch, right upper cut to the jaw and his danger was over. From this time to the end of the fight Field was knocked form one side of the ring to the other. At one time things seemed to be so hot for him, he began to run away from Thompson. Field dead tired but still game attempted to turn the tide but Thompson fought desperately. The end found Field hitting at Thompson and running away.

ChiCAGO WHIP IN CRUSADE AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT ChiCAGO WHIP IN CRUSADE AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT Mr. Bibb told his audience that during the past eight months, 2,000 Negroes were placed in jobs in Chicago hitherto held by white persons. For six months there were thirty-seven speakers in as many churches, waging an active crusade against unemployment. "Don't spend your money where you can't work," was the slogan for the campaign. Fifty colored girls were employed by one of the white chain stores, after the colored buying public had brought pressure to bear on the stores in their neighborhood. Fifty - seven pharmacists are now working in drug stores. It seems that Chicago has been awakened to the fact that the Negro there proposes not to spend his money where he cannot work.

New York City (CNS) When Governor Franklin Rossevelt signed on April 21, last, the bill of Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers creating a new, and Tenth Municipal Court District with two judges, a milestone was achieved for the 300,000 Negroes of Harlem. The writing of this measure into the laws of the State of New York was the culmination of a ten year struggle by the colored group of Harlem. The present Seventh Municipal Court District extends from 110th Street to Spuyten Duyvil and from Fifth Avenue to the Hudson River, and on the basis of the y925 census has a population of 458,000 new splits of the 8100th Municipal District with the following boundaries: 110th street on the south. Fifth avenue on the east, 155th street on the north, and the western boundary as follows: south street. FLAm. on St. Nicholas avenue to 125th street, easterly on 125th street to Eighth Avenue, South on Eighth avenue to 114th Street, east on 114th Street to Seventh Avenue and south on Seventh Avenue to 110th Street, and about 75 per cent of its residents ar colored. It is practically certain that the two candidates on the Republican ticket will be colored, and it is possible that the same will be true of the two candidates on the Democratic ticket. The Negro acquired leadership of the Republican Party Organization both in the 19th Assembly District and in the easterly portion of the 21st Assembly District last year and was followed by the election in each of these districts of colored Aldermen and it resulted for the first time in having two colored men in the Assembly at Albany. The two judges in this Tenth Municipal Court District will not be appointed. They will be elected in the general election on November 4, 1930. It is expected that the opportunity of the colored group to elect its first Negro Municipal Court judges in the eastern portion of the country will cause unparalleled registration of the racial group this fall.

NINE NEGROES TO ENTER GOP RACE IN FLORIDA. Pensacola, Fla.—(CNS.)—For the first time since the reconstruction days nire colored candidates have entered the political race for Republican committeemen from Escambia county. The men have qualified and have submitted their oaths at the office of the circuit court clerk. The candidates are Daniel Harris, J. E. Coleman, Spencer Hunter, E. E. Shepard, N. A. Jones, Charles K. Hicks, D. B. Palmer, J. J. Moore, and E. C. Wingate. Their election is subject to the Republican primary which will be held with the Democratic primary on June 3. The document from local Republicans has been over the qualification of the Negro candidates. T. Wentworth, county tax collector, said poll tax payments by colored citizens had been unusually heavy. 1 Florida is still a frontier state with millions of acres of fertile but unsettled land, says Hon. Nathan Mayo, commissioner of agriculture of that state. An aggressive campaign to build up the agricultural industries of Florida, including dairying, poultry raising, and kindled fields, has been waged for years by Mr Mayo from his headquarters at fallahassah. Tons of well-written and authentic literature prepared by experts of the department have been published, and opportunities have been sent without charge to people in all parts of the country in a two year period the bureau of immigration, which is included in the department of agriculture, received 33 462 letters of inquiry as to Florida's opportunities. Mr Mayo's leadership has brought magnificent results VIRGINIA WESTERN DISTRICT BAPTIST S. S. CONVENTION Staunton, Va., May 14, 1930.

Beale Killed by Chas. Kinney- Beale Leaves Ten Children. Warm Springs was the scene of a murder Saturday night, when Chas, Kinney shot and killed Len Beale. Domestic trouble is alleged to have been the cause of the rash act. Both of the men have lived at Warm Springs practically all their lives in the same neighborhood. From reports emanating from this community, the men had had trouble that continued to brew and which finally ended in this tragedy. Both Beale and Kinney are married men. Beale leaves ten children, three of whom are able to support themselves. Beale is the brother-in-law of William Dawson of this city. Both men have good reputations in their community, and the community was shocked at the sad news. Beale was buried Tuesday from Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, of which he was a member, at Warm Springs, Rev. E. L. Shiffett officiating. Kinney is held in the Bath County jail, charged with murder. He gave himself up to the sheriff after the shooting. Both of the men worked at the Homestead Hotel, at the "Hot." The funeral was largely attended and there were many floral pieces. The burial was at Warm Springs. It is reported that Kinney will plead self defense.

"An irresistable desire seized me," he says, "to see the great world, to wander through strange countries, and to associate with barbarians who dwell far from the jostling of civilization." Four years he spent as a stockrider in Australia, and then became a cadet in the wild interior of Borneo.

It was a .ong, long walk, but he got used to it— this endie-s tramping, this building of little fires in the snow, this tramp- ing through the wilderness with rifle in hand in search of wild game to broil, this eating in solitary lone- liness, then packing and “creeping” alone through the deep snows again, the dense flakes so blinding at times tha. he could see only a few feet ahead.

Lyla thinks Rod is a coward, but she leas dif- ferent when he takes her from Wolf, a notorious gangster who had snatched her from Reggie's arms while they were dan- cing. Wolf attacks Roc and is knocked out. Several of Wolf's henchmen also attack ‘the youth but are routed just as police raid the piace.

As manager of prizefighters, Kling, who was in the cabaret when Rod fought with the gangsters, offers him a contract to be- come a boxer, and Rod accepts in order to make enough money to enter school. At the gymnasium Kling orders Kelly, another ef his boxers, to put on the gloves with Rod, in order to see how skilled his new fighter is. Kelly, afraid that Rod may re- place him. tries to harm him when they xet into the ring, but Rod knocks him out. That evening Rod roes to see Lyla. They xo 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 hungrily, but she ayerts dis- aster by begging him not to spoil thelr friendship. ‘They leave the beach, and az they reach the sidewalk, she discovers 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 Lvla’s abductor is Reggie, who hax beer drinking heavily. However, Reg- gie's identity is not known to him until after he has beaten him severely. Lvla, for some reason which he does not under- stand, becomes angry at him and after they take Reggie to a doctor, tells him to FO 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 fo a “tea party” at a young society girl's home. There ts much galety at the party. which Rod soon discovers is eaused by free drinking of liquor. He meets a seductive looking girl named eda, 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 enter- Ing.

Directly back of him are a number of small children who will be crushed by the enraged steer unless Rod is able to halt its terrible charge.

She begged him to come to see her at once.

Kling sends him to his brother, an automobile dealer, where Rod chooses a lowswung, grey Stutz roadster.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XI By now Rod’s head was growing clearer. In a lightning-like instant he realized that unless he regained his feet by the time the referee counted ten he would be counted out—would lose the fight without ever having struck a blow! The roar of the crowd now was like the voice of a blood-thirsty mob. As his eyes began focusing properly, Rod could see Latzo standing in a neutral corner. smiling down at someone at the ringside, confident that he had scored a knockout over the Cowboy fighter. “—Nine.” tolled the official’s voice. Rod's splendid young strength came to his rescue. Before the refe- Tee could utter the fatal “ten,” the bronzed youth scrambled quickly. if ungracefully. to his feet. where he stood swaying drunkenly. Latzo's eyes. were not on his quarry, so confident was he that Rod was completely out. A warning shout caused him to look back into the ring. where he beheld his victim up- right. if patently unsteady. Latzo was a seasoned veteran of the ring Instead of dashing madly over the canvas at his adversary. and 38 SE GREER ee aN Eo eee ing Rod quickly. he feinted with his left hand toward Rod’s stomach, then launched a flashing powerful blow for the youth’s jaw. Rod sew the blow coming and stepped back just enough to make it miss. As Latzo came in, Rod clenched and held on fast. as his strength and senses returned. The multitude of voices which filled the arena with deafening noise yelled hysterically for a knockout—for blood. Latzo glanced appealingly at the referee who stepped ii between the twe men, parting them. When Latzo dashed again at Rod, however, he found not a fighter on the verg> of a knockout, but an elu- sive, swiftly moving foe, who, al- though he did not counter with blows, evaded them with uncanny ability. ROD’S COME BACK As it became apparent that Rod had mad: what seemed to be an al- most miraculous recovery from what appeared to be a certain knockout, the crown settled down to syevabing the contest, with only occasional shouts from those who were disap pointed that the proceedings had not ended when Rod was on the canvas. Once when they clenched in Rod’s corner, the vouth looked down to see Kelly’s face stvained and pale. while tears frankly rolled down Kling’s cheeks, aithough at the moment he was smiling. He seemed to be cry- ing and laughing all at the same time. As his glance met Rod’s he made a motion of applause with his plop, haads. and noddec encourag- ely. When the bell sounded and the fighters sprang apart to return to their corners, Kling’s voice, hoarse with emotion, came to Rod. “You're doing fine. Cowboy. Don’t let a little thing like a knockdown faze you! You can beat that guy! Why. when you got up he couldn't even lay a glove on you. But stay away from him till you feel all right.” Rod nodded that he understood. Kelly was working over him franti- cally. First he had doused the youth with cold water, wiped his tongue with a wet sponge. and now he was busy massaging his thighs and legs. “Feel OK?” he asked anxiously. “Yeah.” Rod growled, as he drew deep lungfulls of the smoky air into his lungs. The bell for the second round clanged. Rod slipped off his stool swiftly and met his opponent in the middle of the ring. Feinting rapidly, he landee two solid punches to Lat- zo's body. then danced out of range. ADVICE FROM KELLY The crowd roared its approval. Latzo lunged in angrily. ripping a vicious u»percut at Rod’s chin. Rod stepped back just enough to cause the blow to whistle harmlessly by, then steppe" in with a left hook to his adversary’s stomach. which caused him to flinch. i Latzo, however. was not easily hurt, He did not give an inch when Rod landed but started shooting body punches as fast as he could swing his arms. Again Rod danced away. Throughout the round Latzo plunged doggedly after his oppo- nent, taking as a reward many hard, oe snaae oo the en aioee e gong cl again, signalling the end of the second round, the crowd loudly shouted its approval of the furious milling. “You can take that guy now,” Kelly whispered. as he tilted a water bottle for Rod to rinse his mouth. “Try his jaw with that right cross of yours like you did me!” Rod nodded “I've been laying off his jaw just so I could get over that one punch.” he panted. Kling stood at the side of the ring stroking one of Rod’s legs. The tears were gone from his face now, and there was 3 smile of happiness in his eyes. He squeezed Rod's leg af- fectionately. “T knew vou could lick this guy, Roddy.” he shouted. “I knew it!” But Latzo was not licked vet by far. He came charging out of his corner with both fists swinging. Rod met him in th center of the ring. and to the vociferous delight of the crowd. swapped punch for punch with him. When they broke away there was a puzzled look in Latzo’s eyes. He began boxing cautiously. Tt was evident that Rod had hurt him more than he had hurt Rod.

Latzo bent double for a second, then backed away barely in time to miss a sizzling right uppercut which Rod launched. By now Rod's opponent was patiently slowing up. Rod danced lightly in and out, ostentatiously, pretending to be trying to land a punch in Latzo's body. Suddenly he shot his left hand with dazzling speed at Latzo's solar-plexus. Involuntarily the other fighter dropped both arms in an effort to evade the dangerous blow. When he thus relaxed his guard, Rod sent over a fast right to the jaw. and as Latzo staggered away, leaped after him and sent another crushing blow to his head. Latzo's eyes glazed. His body sagged in the middle, then his knees crumpled. He tumbled to the floor on his face, where he lay inert, obviously knocked out. The spectators went wild. Seat cushions, hats, newspapers came flying through the air as the referee began the unnecessary count. When it was finished. Kelly and Kling were in the ring dancing around like two maniacs, so that Rod had to pull away from them in order to drag Latzo, who was still unconscious, to his corner. For a few minutes such pandemonium reigned that police interference was required to restore the crowd to order. Jubilantly. Kling half led, half dragged Rod to his dressing room where he promptly shut and locked the door. "Boy, what a sock, what a sock!" he exulted, as he did a little jig step around the room meanwhile lunging playfully at Kelly and at anything else he could find. Kelly made Rod lie on the rubbing table while he went over him with swift hands. "OK. Kid?" Rod looked up with a happy smile. "You betcha!" he ejaculated. A FEDERAL AGENT There was a peremptory knock at the door. Kling did not want to be disturbed "Whaddya want?" he shouted. "Open the door! I want to see the Cowboy!" a voice returned. Unwillingly Kling opened the door. The Chief of the Federal agents strode in. Seeing Rod, he went to him and shook his hand heartily. "Great fight. Kid," he congratulated. "Glad you won. Are you all set," he looked around the room cautiously, "for tonight?" "Sure," Rod told him. "Soon as I get my clothes on." "What's all this?" Kling demanded suspiciously. "If you think you can get my boy away from me you might as well forget it. I got a contract on him and—" "Aw, wait a second, brother," the Federal agent admonished as he flipped his coat to display his gold government badge. "Is the Cowboy in trouble?"

TANLAC WITHOUT EQUAL FOR STOMACH AND LIVER TROUBLES Nurse Gives Remarkable Endorsement Tanlac may seem miraculous in its action to millions who ended stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as rheumatism, pains in the back, sides, joints and muscles from its use—but the truth is every drop of Tanlac is a strong potent medicine while most other remedies are weak and ineffective. Mrs. B. Piccard, a nurse with many years' experience, is one who ought to know. She says, "In 10 years active nursing have found Tanlac without an equal as a remedy for stomach and liver troubles, and I can certainly promise people wonderful results in view of my long experience with this medicine. I had stomach troubles for years, could eat scarcely anything without suffering, never any appetite, always nervous and rundown. But as soon as I began Tanlac it started to build me right up. All stomach troubles were routed and never any pain, distress or gases since. Now I eat everything with perfect safety." Many "patent medicines" make glowing promises that may tempt you to buy them but remember Tanlac is a REAL medicine that backs its claims with a guarantee. Do not accept a substitute.

Kelly insisted on accompanying Rod to the Swamp Hut. News of who Rod was, and of his sensational victory had preceded him. Men crowded around his table anxious to meet him. None of the Federal agents whom Rod recognized were in sight, but he supposed that they were scattered around the place at various tables. Rod patted his breast, where reposed unseen the gold prohibition badge giver him by the agent. Wolf had not appeared yet, so Rod merely ridered a meal for himself and Kelly. ROD'S SHARE OF THE RECEIPTS The place was filled with revelers, and for a while the attentions showered on Rod by many of his suddenly acquired admirers made him forget his purpose in coming to the Swamp Hat. Dancers filled the polished square dancing space. Rod remembered the last time he had been in the place, and with wonder reflected on the things which had happened to him since then. In his pocket reposed a neat package of bills representing his night's earnings to the amount of twenty-six thousand dollars. He had requested his part in cash, but when Kling had given him the money he had counted it with unbelieving eyes. "All this money for —for just the little fighting I did?" he questioned his manager. Kling smiled broadly. "Sure, Kid, and I've got my cut out of it already. But that's not the thing. That twenty-six grand you made tonight is not a drop in the bucket to what you'll make when you get to be champion." "I've been kinda thinking I want to get out of the game. Mr. Kling." Rod had told him, "but all this money sort of changes my mind. I want to go back out in Montana for a while anyway." "That's OK." Kling had assured him heartily. "You deserve a good rest, my boy. While you're gone I'll cook up a good match for you—a tune-up maybe for the champ, since you're bound to get the next fight with him after the way you licked Latzo." Rod was remembering this, and trying to decide what he would do, when Kelly called his attention back to his surroundings. "Look, Rod" he exclaimed. "Who's that tough looking bird givin' us the once-over?" ROD BLUFFS THE WOLF Rod looked up and into the leering eyes of Wolf, who stood, immaculately garbed in an expensive tuxedo, staring at him with a puzzled air. "I did give you credit for having some sense." he growled at Rod, "but you've either got a lot of guts, or no brains." WILLIAM H. "Before taking Lydia E.

Behind nim and astride of a fine henna-stained mule, whose silver trappings shone in the bright sun, was his friend, Stanley, attired in his famous African costume. Following him were his personal servants, Somalis with their curious braided waistcoats and white robes; then came Zanzibaris, with their blankets, water bottles, ammunition belts and guns; stalwart Soudanese soldiery with dark gooded coats, their rifles on their packs and innumerable straps around their bodies; Zanzibari porters bearing iron-bound boxes of ammunition, to which were fastened axes and shovels—the whole making a marvelous picture of the new order that had come to the distant Southland. On these marches the young Englishman soon developed wonderful powers of endurance. The natives have a great admiration for any exhibition of personal strength, skill or endurance, and the white man who can shoot an elephant or buffalo, or "I told you I was coming, didn't I?"

So you're afraid of me, eh, Mister Wolf?" Rod taunted. "Aw, you're crazy!" Wolf exclaimed. Then his eyes grew hard. "Liquor comes high in my place, and I don't like no squawks when the bill comes. If you want some booze it'll cost you fifty bucks a quart. Still want some, sucker?" With an air of pretended recklessness, Rod drew out the thick bundle of bills from his pocket. Kelly nudged him warningly, but he ignored Kelly and waved the money in Wolf's face. "That's jake with me, and I've got the money to pay for it," he cried. "Check," snapped Wolf, as he strode away.

Ward earned his name of "Mayala Mbemba," i. e., 'The Wings of the Eagle," for having once accomplished the journey from Kimpete to Lukungu in one day—a distance of forty miles, over a wearisome and fatiguing road. Ward found the tribesmen who inhabit the cataract region to be careless and indolent beings,—a condition which was undoubtedly due to the enervating tropical sun. He would come upon them gathered in groups in the market place or in the doorways of their huts. basking in the sun the livelong day, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he could rouse them to the slightest exertion when he needed their aid in the work of an expedition. While at Bwende he marveled at the display of copper necklets and leg rings and bracelets by the dark-skinned beauties on market days. They were very fond of having Ward sketch them in the fullness of their adornment and they would wait with the utmost patience their turn to pose. Later he learned that the copper that they displayed so lavishly formed originally part of the copper tubes that had been started over the hills for the steamer that was being put together at Leopoldville. It appeared that the porters had found the copper a very enticing metal and they had been exceedingly anxious to view its lustre in conjunction with their dark complexions. He noticed keenly the many conflicting emotions that betrayed themselves in the lives of these savages; swayed one moment by a thirst for blood and indulging in the most horrible orgies, yet they may next be WEYER'S Sur-Lay Keeps Hair Combed Helps It Grow SUR-LAY, is a greaseless liquid hair dressing which milfoilizes hair and drops will control stubborn hair and keep it combed all day— also helps hair grow.

YOUR "TS" TELL Every letter that you make, whether with pencil or with pen and ink, tells its own story about you. It may be a very surprising story or something very different from what your friends think in regard to you, but no matter what it is, there is a story that is written into every letter that you make with pen or pencil. Cat and rat No single one of these letters, however, have as much of importance to tell as the little letter "t." This single letter is simply full or little personal facts that it can tell about you, according to the disposition or natural characteristics that you possess. For instance, the man who is very enthusiastic will make a different "t" from the one who is slow and careful. The woman who is sharply sarcastic and who says mean and cutting things to other people will make a "t" that is crossed entirely different from the one who is constantly putting off doing the things that she knows should be done at once. travel and variety The man who has very positive ideas on a subject will make a different "t" from the one who is always being led around or influenced by his friends. You can find some of the things that your own "ts" tell, if you will study the little chart that is given here this week. Number one, shows the "t" with the crossbar just a little bit behind the main stem of the letter. If your writing shows that more than half of these cross bars are back of the letter as this one is, you can know that you do not do things promptly. You put off doing the things that should be done, and tell the story She Lost 19 Pounds of Fat In 27 Days She Lost 19 Pounds of Fat In 27 Days During October a woman in Montant wrote -- "My first bottle of Kruschen Salts lasted almost 4 weeks and during that time I lost 19 pounds of fat—Kruschen is all you claim for it—I feel better than I have for years." Here's the recipe that banishes fat and brings into blossom all the natural attractiveness that every woman possesses. Every morning take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water before breakfast. Be sure and do this every morning for "It's the little daily dose that takes off the fat."—Don't miss a morning.

X X Remarkable Interpretations of African Jungle Life Continued From Page Four found approaching their homes with delight to the welcoming caresses of their wives and children; or they may be found with patient gaze regarding the strange surroundings of the white man, in his mud-built house and listening politely to his ridiculous attempts to express himself in native tribal language, helping him with he needed word and supplying the many gaps by timely smiles of encouragement. His most pleasant recollections of his life on the Upper Congo recalled little gatherings when the spear and shield were laid aside at the doorway and young and old natives congregated in the shade of the rough veranda to listen to tales of modern civilization. At such an hour all was serene and calm; canoes with fishermen, or hunters returning from the chase of the wild pig, would glide noiselessly in and out of the deeply shaded channels. The silence that reigns everywhere is unbroken until at first faintly from the distance, and then swelling louder, the rich, wild song of a party of ivory traders returning, their big canoes gay with piles of red cloth topped with wide-opened multicolored umbrellas, floats into the sheltered, veranda and mingles with the hum of laughing voices. The blue sky and bright sunlight without, seemingly made to light up the bronzed features and rows of white teeth of the women carrying water from the river, combine to make a scene of peaceful beauty that powerfully influences the beholder. Unconciously the stranger, gazing on the smiling faces around him, forgets the tribal customs and disease that have too often injured them; forgets, too, his distant home with its cold gray sky; and feels for the moment one in sympathy and accord with the human beings who surround him. The explorer took with him on his trips a little music box that was advertised to play one tune, "Home, Sweet Home." The various tribes listened with delight to the tinkling of the tiny instrument, nudging one another. They would gaze at the wonder-working instrument with widely opened eyes, in astonishment and delight, as they covered their open mouths with their hands. The apparently innate love of music was aroused within them, and their bodies would sway, serpent-like, in cadence with the tune. It is customary among the Upper Congo people to stamp their features and persons, by means of scars, with various designs, according to the tribe.

After frequent repetitions of this barbarous mutilation, the skin and flesh become hardened and protrude in lumps. between the incisions. One of Mr. Ward's most striking pieces of statuary portrays a group of three, called "The Fugitives." A mother is shown in great distress, hurrying along with her little boy and her infant child. She is frantic to escape from the Arab slavers whose boats have been sighted coming down the broad river. The incessant booming of the distant wardrums adds to her distress. On one of his trips down the Congo Mr. War's party was mistaken for a band of Arab slavers. As they drifted past a thickly wooded island, they encountered several canoes filled with armed men, whose spears and knives flashed in the bright moonlight. These natives howled with rage and then followed for a long distance, uttering their shrill war cries. The women uttered piercing screams as they snatched their children and rushed to the shelter the forest. In one of the friendly villages Mr. Ward observed that the chief was of a particularly picturesque appearance, so he started to sketch the warrior. Hundreds of natives crowded around the artist and his subject, almost excluding all air and light, but not a sound did they utter. Immediately after finishing the portrait he embarked and left without a word, to the surprise and intense mirth of the multitude, who had continually poured in from their huts to see the strange pale-faced man. It seemed to tickle them greatly, this strange action in first inviting their chief to be seated, then sitting opposite to him without saying a word, and engaged on what, to them, appeared to be something very trivial, and finally, when they all thought the critical moment had arrived, coolly walking away without even a parting word.

HELP WANTED—MALE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 17, 1930 to a burst of merriment, and chief and all shook with laughter. Highly effective is Mr. Ward's figure of the old guide who vigorously maps out on the sand the course that the expedition took. He traces the windings of the shadowy river, pausing to make most emphatic the exact points at which the clashes occurred with ancestral tribal foes, where the cozing hippopotamus overturned the boats or where the choicest tusks were obtained. Of equal interest is the figure of the patient river dweller who is crouched down while he whirls rapidly between his outspread palms the dry stick that is soon to furnish nim with the much needed fire. The figure speaks of sinewy strength and endurance; the face has assumed the expression of what may be termed scientific expectancy. The figure of the Idol Maker shows the skill of the sculptor in portraying concentrated attention. The worker is seated on a ledge of rock and every muscle is strained to the task in hand—that of shaping a typical idol from a block of wood that is held in position by the carver's right leg, which is thrown over it. Both hands direct the primitive tool that is shaping the body. It is easy to imagine the reply of the carver when asked by some loafer what he was making. "I'm altogether too busy," he would growl.

Two other men who also seemed under the influence of liquor got up from their tables and came across the room toward where Rod sat. KELLY LEARNS THE GAME "What the hell's the matter with you, Rod?" Kelly asked. "What's the idea in waving your dough around like that? And furthermore, I want to know what's the idea of your ordering liquor. I didn't have any idea that you were a drinker. With the start you got tonight, you can be champ in a couple of fights. Why take a chance on that kind of a break by sousing a lot of liquor in a joint like this?" Rod laughed. "You just don't understand, partner. I'm here for a purpose tonight, beyond fun." He leaned closer to Kelly and whispered, "I'm acting as a Government agent tonight, and when this fellow comes back with my liquor I'm going to arrest him." "But what's it all about?" Kelly persisted. "Sh-h-h." Rod hissed, as Wolf appeared bearing openly a bottle of whiskey, which he slung by the neck as he strode arrogantly through the crowd. "All right big boy, here's your liquor. I'll take the dough. Let's have it." Rod peeled off one of the bills from his wad of money, and handed it to Wolf. Wolf shoved it in his pocket with a sullen smile. Rod stood and faced him. He threw back his coat and displayed the gold badge which nestled on his breast. "That little bottle of whiskey, Mr. Wolf," he said grimly, "will probably cost you a stretch in the penitentiary." Wolf started back in amazement. Then he laughed contemptuously. "The United States Government, Rod snapped back at him, "and you're under arrest, believe it or not." THE PLACE PICKETED Wolf exploded in staccato harsh laughter. "Lissen to the little fella rave," he chortled. "He's been smokin' hot, and he's havin' a pipe dream!" He shoved his hand into his pocket suggestively. "Lissen, you dumb cluck, you crossed my path once and got away with it. Now you're fool enough to try it again. Well, you can't put it over, see? I'm gonna ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 17, 1930 burn you down right where you stand." The hand in his pocket moved, showing the outline of a gun pointing directly at Rod's heart. Kelly started up from the table. Wolf shifted the gun on to Kelly, then suddenly his expression changed. His hand crept slowly out of his pocket, as a voice commanded, "Reach for the sky. buddy. This is a pinch!" In various parts of the place men stood up and with drawn guns commanded the patrons to keep their seats and make no outcries. The two men who had come across the floor toward Rod's table now, on a signal from the man who had trailed Wolf when he got the liquor, rushed through swinging doors into anot! r room. Wolf stood like a trapped animal, his eyes darting from side to side seeking escape. The Government agent behind him reached into Wolf's pocket and extracted a wicked looking pistol, then deftly searched him for other weapons. Finding none, he drew a bright pair of handcuffs from his pocket and snapped them onto his captive. "I gues: that'll hold you for a hot minute." he observed, drily. Then to Rod "We'll just hold everything like it is until my men come out of this bird's bar. We've got to have more evidence than this quart of liquor, and I think we'll find it there." FIND DOPE PEDDLERS, TOO At that moment the three men emerged from the swinging doors, dragging a scared, pasty faced youth behind them. One of them carried a bulky package. The other two held an assortment of liquors. The man with the package rushed up excitedly. "Made a much bigger catch than we figured on." he cried. "This bird's not only a bootleger—he's a dope peddler, too, and probably the head of the local dope ring." Wolf cringed visibly. The man holding him captive prodded him with his gun. "Let's get these bozo's under guard in the car, men," he said, "then we'll come back and do a little searching around and see what we find." "Pretty good job, young feller," a voice at Rod's elbow said. It was the chief of the dry agents. "The finding that dope in this bird's joint will get him at least a ten-year jolt in Leavenworth. That suits you, doesn't it?" "You bet!" Rod said heartily. can't get very excited over it. When I tell you, my news, I guess you won't be so happy, either." "What are you talking about?' Rod barked at her. "I'm going to be married tomorrow." the girl said. "at twelve o'clock, at my house." She listened for a reply which did not come. then she slowly replaced the receiver. Whatever Rod might have said was never uttered, for at that moment a steely pair of arms held him helpless, and a heavy cloth was thrown over his face. He felt himself being roughly dragged out of the booth. PICTURE YOURSELF Pluko WHITE Improved HAIR DRESSING Price 50¢ PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Company MEMPHIS, TENN. AND NEW YORK, N.Y. U.S.A.

He turned to Kelly. "Hang around here until I get back, will you, Kelly?" he asked. "I'm going to hunt up a phone booth. I'll be right back." He dashed through the crowd and up to the phone booths that stood by the dressing rooms upstairs. Entering one of them he called Lyla's number. Lyla herself answered. "This is Rod. I'm calling you to tell you that I won my fight tonight, and also to give you some news that should make you happy."

(END OF CHAPTER ELEVEN) (Next week, the last chapter) COFFEE BEFORE BREAKFAST The hostess who wishes to add a bit of hospitality to the entertainment of her holiday guests can do so by serving them coffee in their rooms before breakfast. It is something that is sure to please. The coffee should be made double strength and served in demi-tasse with or without sugar. Of course, it should be hot. For years it has been the custom in the South to send demi-tasse to the rooms of guests at the time they arise. They drink the strong, fragrant beverage and are ready for more at breakfast. Recently the pre-breakfast demi-tasse or "coffee-cocktail," as it is sometimes called, has been adopted by a number of hotels and railroad dining cars.
