Dew, an aged white woman, who died here recently. who died here to physicians who attended the woman, death resulted from injuries sustained when she was knocked down by a door which Miss Clark, who was a maid in adjoining apartment closed. The witnesses for the state declared that the maid shoved the aged white woman down breaking her thigh. Miss Clark admitted that she closed the door to prevent Mrs. Dew from entering the apartment, but denied that she knocked her down either with her hand or the door. ROBS DEAD MAN, GETS SIX MONTHS IN JAIL Washington —(CNS)— Having pled ghilah to "robbing a dead man" here last week, James Winfield, 35, was sentenced to six months in the workhouse by Judge Schditz. The dead uan, William Thompson of Ballston, Va., and Winfield met in an alley near New Hampshire Avenue and I Street. The former at that time was drunk and the latter took $12 from him. A day or two later Thompson died and his firneral was held the same day. Winfield, not knowing Thompson had died, confessed and was sentenced. The anniversary of Williams Lodge of Elks will be held at Hippodrome Theatre Sunday afternoon, with Dr. C. C. Scott as the speaker of the day. The Planet More Feminine Go Searches f The Planet has received several answers to its inquiry for a suitable husband for one of Richmond's maidens. Among them one shows up from the regions of Halifax County, Va. We believe that if this party will agree to move to Richmond, he may be selected as the desired one. He writes us concerning his intentions and we are forwarding the good news to Miss ----- (we know the boys would like to know the name, but it will not be divulged. We promised last week to give a description of this young woman who has asked The Planet to locate a desirable husband for her. She is what is generally called a tantalizing brown, about 5 feet, 5 inches in height, rather plump, but well proportioned. Her face is very pleasing and there is a frankness and honesty of purpose in her countenance. Her hair is very good (naturally so, too.) One is impressed by her conversation and general demeanor that she is the kind of girl every man wants. WHITE GIRLS AND NEGROES HELD ON INSURRECTION CHARGES. Atlanta, Ga., June 6.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—The excitement which last week prevailed in Birmingham, Alabama, when it was learned that Negroes and whites were permitted to sit together at a Communistic meeting, broke out here Friday when two white girls and two Negro youths were arrested charged with attempting to incite an insurrection. The quartette composed of Mary Dalton and Ann Burlack, and Gilmer Grady and Henry Storey were arrested when they were discovered distributing announcements of a communistic meeting and literature against the United States government. They were arrested and two patrols were called, as it is against the law for white girls and Negroes to ride in the same "wagon," and carried to the county jail. When arraigned before the Grand Jury true bills were returned against them and they were sent back to jail to await trial. Under the old Georgia statute the maximum penalty is death. Arkansas Medics Hold Meet Pine Bluff, Ark, June 6—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The annual meeting of the Arkansas Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association closed here Friday evening after what has been proclaimed one of the most successful meetings in the history of the organization. Clinics, business sessions, and public meetings were held throughout the session and some of the most prominent members of the professions were in attendance, including Dr. Eve, of the Woodmen of Union Hospital, Dr. Jackson, of Hot Springs, and Dr. Fred T. Jones. The officers elected were: Drs. J. M. Robinson, Little Rock, president; O. M. Banks, Dermott, vice-president; C. E. Patillo, Pine Bluff, secretary; A. Hicks, Scotts, treasurer, and J. G. Thornton, member of the executive committee. ralizes On goodness As It or A Husband. but seldom looks about to find. He wants a nice quiet, inexperienced maiden, but he frequents places where this type of girl never visits, in common parlance he "goes to a goat's house looking for wool." She has never attended dances and this should be a good recommendation. Just here we recall a sight - we witnessed one night last week on Second Street. Two young men brought a young girl out of a dance joint just as we were passing. And 'brought' is the right word, for she was so drunk she could not stand up. Her feet dragged the ground as they carried her bodily to a car, where five men piled in to escort her home. Why so many men became so interested in her we do not know. Yet this girl will in all probability be beseigned by men to marry her. But enough for this week. Boys, hurry up and send in your appeals. We desire a large number of applicants in order that we may be sure to get the very best mate for this deserving young woman. Armstrong Hi Will Close At Auditorium. According to The Planet's information, which is believed to be official, the closing exercises of Armstrong High School will take place at the City Auditorium next Thursday day night, as usual. Much speculation has been rife here concerning a report that the diplomas would be awarded our graduates at the school auditorium instead of at the City Auditorium as has been the custom. The class night exercises will be held at the school Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

RICHMOND, VA.. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1930 GovernmentSnubsGoldStarMothers Plea of Mothers Rejected By War Department Washington, D. C. June 6.—(CNA) The Jim-Crow policy announced by the government some months ago for the Negro Gold Star mothers and widows maging the trip to France to visit the graves of their sons and husbands slaughtered in the last imperialist holocaust, will be continued by the War Department despite protests by the Gold Star mothers and several Negro organizations. Following receipt of a petition sent by fifty-five Negro mothers and widows of the victims of Wall Street's attempts to safeguard its loans to the Allied Nations, in which they declared they would decline to go at all unless the segregation was abolished, Acting Secretary of War Davison replies in effect that they can suit themselves. The government, he says, will make no changes in its arrangements" which were decided upon only after the most careful consideration of the interests of the pilgrims themselves." The petition, which had been addressed to President Hoover, was referred to the War Department. GOLD STAR MOTHERS NOTIFY HOOVER DECLINING JIM GROW New York, May 29. No less than fifty five Negro Gold Star Mothers have petitioned President Hoover urging that he overrule the War Department's color segregation order for the pilgrimage to soldiers' grave im France, and in the event that President Hoover refuses to declining to take part in the Jim Crow pilgrimage. The petitions of the Negro Gold Star Mothers have been forwarded to President Hoover by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which officially called the matter to the President's attention and asked that he overrule the War Department in the matter. The letter of the N.A. A. C. P to President Hoover states that segregation over a period of three months with the War Department brought the final ruling that the policy of color segregation on the pilgrimage to France would stand. In their petition to the President, forwarded to him by the N. A. A. C. P., the Negro Gold Star Mothers call the attitude of the War Department a "gratitudous insult", state that loved ones were given freely and willingly at their country's call and continue: "In the years which have passed since death took our loved ones our anguish and sorrow have been assuaged by the realization that our loved oses who rest in the soil of France gave their lives to the end that the world might be a better place in which to live for all men, of all races and all colors" "Twelve years after the Armistice, the high high principles of 1918 seem to have been forgotten. We who gave an who are colored, are insulted by the implication that we are not fit persons to travel with the others bereaved oses. Instead of making up parties of Gold Star Mothers on the basis of geographical location, we are set aside in a separate group. Jim Crowed, segregated an insulted. "We appeal to you as Chief Executive of our nation and as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, to issue an order abolishing this unjust ruling. "If you as President of the United States refuse to abolish this ruling, We respectfully decline to make the trip to France, preferring instead to remain at home and retain our honor and self-respect." The N. A. A. C. P. has received signatures to these petitions from all parts of the country, including Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Atlanta, Ga., June 6—(By The Associated Negro Press) Glenn Karmar, who for five years has uoasted of having been shot in the heart and yet lived, is dead and from the result of a second bullet in his heart. Five years ago Karmar was shot in the heart. Physicians at Grady Hospital operated on him and saved his life. As a mark of gratitude Karmar changed his name to Glenn Brokenheart and has taken pride in telling of "his operation." Saturday night Brokenheart engaged in a fight with Frank Simington and was shot again. The bullet entered the mended heart and death was instant. Simington was arrested and charged with murder in the first degree. BRITISH REDS BACK INDIA REVOLT London — (CNA) — The British Communist Party is giving aggressive support to the revolution of the Indian workers and peasants against British imperialism, and through its press and mass meetings, is mobilizing large sections of the British working class for support of the struggles of the Indian masses against imperialist exploitation. The Daily Worker the official organ of the British Communist Party, announces that with a few days the Party had held huge demonstrations at Putney, Tylerstown, Todmarden, Dundee, Birmingham, and Stradford, rallying huge masses of British workers to the uncompromising fight of the Communists against imperialism and for the unconditional independence of the colonial countries. At Stratford, the workers passed a resolution expressing disgust at the action of the Labor overmen in pursuing a most brutal policy of bombing and shooting down Indian workers. Africa To Negro Congress Africa To Negro Congress Capetown, South Africa—(CNA) The call for an International Negro Labor Congress in London, in July, is finding a warm response among the workers in South Africa. In this connection the South African Federation of Non-European Trade Unions is convening a conference in Hohannesburg on Sunday next. The call for this conference is addressed to all the South African Negro organizations, to the affiliated organizations of the S. A. Federation of Non-European Trade Unions, as well as to all workers in the mines, factories and on the land. It is hoped in this way to reach, not only the organized workers, but also the unorganized; and particularly the miners, who are living in compounds under almost unbeatable conditions.

C., June 6.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Incedent over the effort to reflect discredit on the group in this section, a number of plans are in the making whereby Negroes will endeavor to assist in the prosecution of Joe Powell and Walter Brantley who are charged with the attempted attack upon a white woman and the murder of her companion. When the attack and murder occurred, the young woman told the police that the murderers were Negroes. A mob of more than five hundred whites scoured the country in quest of the criminals and thirty or more Negroes were arrested and one was murdered. A few days ago the sheriff learned that Powell and Brantley knew something about the killing and he ordered their arrest. It is believed that the white men blackened their faces and posing as Negroes committed the crimes. Every effort will be made to convict them and Negroes are planning to solicit funds to aid in the prosecution. WOMAN IS VICTIM OF MYSTERIOUS SHOT. Little Rock, Ark., June 6.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Police are searching for the person who fired the shot which aloost killed Mrs. Effie Winstead here Tuesday night as she entered a neighbor's home. According to the report to the police, Mrs. Winstead was visiting a friend, Mrs. Ollie Sharp, and as she closed the front door a shot was fired from the outside. The bullet crashed through the door and pierced Mr. Winstead's side. The metal stay of a corset which she was wearing perhaps saved her life, and this was driven partially in her side as it deflected the bullet. Police are on the lookout for "Bubber Anderson," whom Sam Cole told them the shooting, and Mrs. Winstead is in the local hospital gloating over the fact that she had not come so modern as to toss away the old "form maker," as it proved a life saver in this instance. TELL OF SLAVERY IN SOUTH AFRICA. Windhosk, Southwest Africa.—(CNA) "Manstealing" is the charge faced by three Europeans at Criminal Session here and wide-spread interest has been aroused. Bushmen were the victims. They charge that the three accused men, with their followers, armed and mounted, descended upon a small native krael, burned the bushmen's huts and marched off a number of natives and their families. The natives were hitched to the riders' saddles and jerked and whipped along at a fast pace, the witnesses charged. One said he was forced to run all night with feet so sore that it proved an ordeal of excruciating pain. The next day, witnesses said, the Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph.D., pastor of the benezer Baptist Church of this city and known internationally as the editor of the Lott Carey Herald was stricken last Sunday morning as he closed his morning's message before a large congregation, at his Church. Much commotion and consternation spread throughout the city as reports wildly circulated reached other congregations and the public generally. It was at first thought that the Doctor was the victim of a stroke, but examination by his physician, Dr. E. Sheridan Roane proved that no serious harm had been done by this sudden collapse. The Doctor had preached a very powerful sermon and had given sin and sinners a sound theological thrashing, which had gone to the hearts of his hearers. One of his deacons informs The Planet that the Doctor had preached what he thought was the best sermon he had listened to. At the close of his message, it was noted that something was wrong with the Divine and his wife, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes became solicitous about his condition. Dr. Roane was hastily summoned and the stricken minister removed from the pulpit. When seen by a Planet representative Friday, the Doctor was in a fine mood and was jocular as usual. He is able to sit up and his physician reports he will be about in a few weeks. Dr. Stokes is known as a hard worker and a constant student. He is a member of the faculty of Virginia Union University and serves as pastor and editor. He has received degrees in theology, philosophy and law. It is generally conceded that what the Doctor needs is rest from his manifold duties. His madame is also a national figure, being Grand Shepherd of the I. O. Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem and President of the Southeastern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. G. O. P. Loses Votes In N. C. While the heavy Democratic registration, to some extent sponsored by opposing candidates for various offices, was going on here, a number of Negroes in Wave Forest were complaining that they had not been allowed to register for either party. West End Golf Course Much interest is being taken in the miniature golf course known as the West End Golf Course to be located at 1427-29 W. Cary St., which will be formally opened on Thursday evening, June 12th at 6 P. M. The course will be one of the best of its kind consisting of 18 holes, which will provide a splendid form of healthful outdoor recreation for colored people such as few of the large cities f the South may boast. The location is conducive to this type of amusement being in the best West End section and on smooth paved main thoroughfare.

Troy, Ala., June 6.—(By The Associated Nogro Press.)—With members of the state militia standing guard, Robert Giles was tried and convicted on charges of attempting to assault a young white woman, here Thursday and was sentenced to nineteen years and eleven months in the state prison. When the attempted attack occurred feeling was high against Giles and only the prompt action of the officers in rushing him to the state prison saved him from mob violence. To prevent any lynching when he was returned here for trial, the governor ordered troops to escort him hee and to guard the prisoner during the trial. While the courtroom was crowded with whites and hundreds milled about the outside, there was no disturbance whatever. The effect of the presence of the troops and additional law enforcement officers dampened whatever feeling there might have been. Immediately following the close of the trial, Giles, with his military escort returned to Kilby Prison where he will serve his sentence. rece to my many I have now in Offices, Par- sents. issions. of the smallest would with the play.

BLANKS: "I don't know, I'm just here visiting Mr. and Mrs. Amplifier this week. But I will find out—come in and have a seat." MRS. PILGRIM: "Haven't very long to stay, but I'll come in a few minutes." MRS. BLANKS: "Mrs. Amplifier, Mrs. Amplifier, O Mrs. Amplifier, is Mister Amplifier here—some one is here to see him." MRS. AMPLIFIER: "Yes, I'll call him. Amplifier, Ampie, O Amplie, come on down-stairs, some one is here to see you. Hurry on." AMPLIFIER: "Alright, I'll be right down." AMPLIFIER: "Good evening, how are you today. What may be your name?" MRS. PILGRIM: "My name is Emeline S. Pilgrim. I just ran by here to see you for a few minutes." AMPLIFIER: "You may stay as long as you like, I have plenty of time today." THE CONVERSATION MRS. PILGRIM: "Have you heard anything about MOSBY MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH calling a PASTOR. I somewhat overheard something about their calling a pastor, but I didn't know whether it was true or not." AMPLIFIER: "You may rest easy, Mrs. Pilgrim, it is very true that they have called a pastor and he has accepted the call. I was there to hear him last Sunday morning, June 17." MRS. PILGRIM: "I-C. What is his name, and where is he from?" AMPLIFIER: "Rev. S. L. Parham, is his name, and he is from the progressive city of Louisburg, N. C." MRS. PILGRIM: "A-hem, it seems that Virginia has fallen in love with preachers from North and South Carolina. I can't really understand it." AMPLIFIER: "Mrs. Pilgrim, we must admit that North and South Carolina certainly have some good ministers. And by Virginia calling so many of them, shows clearly that they must be able divines." MRS. PILGRIM: "U-right. Since you were there Sunday, please tell me about their services." AMPLIFIER: "The choir marched in singing, 'Holy, Holy, Holy,' etc. The congregation arose and joined in the singing. Fervent prayer was offered by one of the visiting ministers." MRS. PILGRIM: "What about the preaching. That's what I would like to hear next?" AMPLIFIER: "I'm trying to give you information about the service in order. As I was saying after prayer, Rev Mr. Washington lined Hymn No. 559, which was sung by choir and congregation. He also read the 12th chapter of Romans for scripture lesson, then he prayed an earnest prayer." MRS. PILGRIM: "Do they raise the collection before preaching?" the collection prepares a AMPLIFIER: "Have patience, Mrs. Pilgrim, I'm giving the order of the service. The choir then sang a very touching songs, and the reguar church announcements were read by the clerk, Bro. A. W. Dandridge. And the ushers lifted the missionary offering." MRS. PILGRIM: "How much did they raise in the Missionary offering?" AMPLIFIER: "They did not name the sum raised." MRS. PILGRIM: "Please pardon me for interrupting so much, I am just so eager to find out about the doings around Mosby, I can hardly wait for you to finish one thing before I want to know about the other." AMPLIFIER: "Alright, I'll start again. Deacon Beverly made his remarks respecting the newly elected pastor, then he led Hymn No. 81. God Moves in a Mysterious Way," etc., and presented the new pastor in words most fitting. MRS. PILGRIM: "What was the new pastor's text and subject?" AMPLIFIER: "Dr. Parham arose and made some very instructive remarks which were pleasing to all. His text was taken from the 12th chapter of Romans. CO-OPERATION, was his subject." MRS. PILGRIM: "How did he deliver the sermon?" DEFEAT. (North Carolina Loses Another one of her Eminent Sons. Stricken with Grief). full of inspiration and instruction. It was an introductory sermon." MRS. PILGRIM: "I am sure he made a great impression from such wonderful subject." AMPLIFIER: "He certainly did. The pastor took the human body and showed how every member of the body co-operates, and in perfect union. He also explained how, if one member of the body is in trouble the whole body is in trouble, if one member of the body is hurt, the whole body is hurt, and so on. Rev. Parham, with his intellectual brush, painted many more excellent pictures, too numerous to mention." MRS. PILGRIM: "Certainly wish I had heard this sermon. It is true, more co-operation is needed in many of our churches." AMPLIFIER: "O-yes, co-operation is needed in these churches mighty bad, and that is what the newly elected pastor, Rev. S. L. Parham, streat mostly." MRS. PILGRIM: "How did the congregation seem to enjoy it. (The sermon?" AMPLIFIER: "The congregation seemed to have enjoyed this message very much. And, they seem to be more determined to give better co-operation to their church hereafter." MRS. PILGRIM: "What do you think about Rev. Dr. Parham—the new elected pastor?" AMPLIFIER: "I am sure he is the right man for Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, and if those members will give him whole-hearted support and co-operation, I am sure that Dr. Parham will put over the great program, and not only will he be a benefactor to the church, but he will also be helpful to this community in general. As a pulpiteer, it would be very hard to find one better. He never tries to PREACH BIG SERMONS, but being a close student of affairs, and having an intimate knowledge of human nature, and endowed with such pleasing humor, he preaches the OLD TIME GOSPEL TRUTHS with peculiar freshness and practicality." MRS. PILGRIM: "How was the singing by the choir?" AMPLIFIER: "The choir rendered excellent music, and the Female Quartette of Mosby Memorial, gave a very touching selection, which all enjoyed." MRS. PILGRIM: "What was the general collection? Please tell me." AMPLIFIER: "Ah, Mrs. Pilgrim, don't be so interested in the MONEY. They raised a pretty good sum. The amount, I'll tell you later." MRS. PILGRIM: "You say Dr. Parham has a pleasing personality?" AMPLIFIER: "Yea, he is very agreeable and propitiously disposed toward every body, and yet he is no FIGURE HEAD. He has a never failure humor that brings to bear upon nearly every question from the standpoint of Christianity. He is optimistic and resourceful. He has faith in everything he attempts to do, and usually finds a way to accomplish the same." MRS. PILGRIM: "That's excellent, Yea, I am glad that Mosby Memorial Baptist Church at last, has found a good shepherd. We all remember how hard the officials of this church found it—in trying to settle upon some minister to succeed he eloquent, Dr. J. A. Brinkley, the former pastor. It is North Carolina's loss, and Virginia's gain. Let all the churches in virginia's gain. Let tall the Churchts in Richmond, 'Arise, and greet the Rev. Dr. Parham, the new minister of the gasp, coming over into Macedonia to help us. Now are ye going to act selfish?" AMPLIFIER: "When Rev. Parham appeared at Mosby Memorial Baptist Church, for his first time, (by invitation), there were not a dozen members of that church who had ever seen him, yet they were not long realizing that a man of extraordinary ability was before them." MRS. PILGRIM: "You were fixing to say something pertaining to his educational qualities. It was something like that—tell me, please?" AMPLIFIER: "O. I was about to say that Rev. Dr. Parham respects choice. English, but he does not consult his audience as to how nicely and polish he should say things. Sometimes his talks are as sweet as honey, and sometimes as bitter as quinine. And when he is preaching against sin, he feels like he is in a combat with the devil, and he does not look about for smooth stones; he grabs up anything in HITS like gigantic hands and HITS. HARD. Wonder can Mosby-sand his prescriptions. The gospel must be preach. Parham is one among those the Lord told go ye and preach it—and he better obey Him." MRS. PILGRIM: "Well, Amplifier, I have enjoyed the conversation. Glad I came over. I pray that Rev. Parham will be successful in our city. Good-bye, I'll stop in again soon." AMPLIFIER: "Good-day, M r s. Pilgrim, go to hear Rev. Dr. Parham and see how you like him." RICHMOND SOCIETY By Paul D.Morton. and Mary Booker Price.

It is a big job looking after the problems of this group and aiding them to solve life’s complicated problems. Agencies leading in this work are churches, schools, hospitals, welfare and recreation groups and the like. Much progress has been made along these lines recently, but we think not enough emphasis and support has been given these agencies by the colored group. We support our churches nicely, but the rank and file fail to line up with other agencies in sufficient strength to register positively. Maybe we place too much emphasis and time upon efforts to get certain recognition, when we should be applying our endeavors to getting behind these character- building agencies and get better results. ‘After all the argument that the Negro must progress a little further ‘before he can hope to get the recognition he covets is a logical one. A race that is not quite able to support itself, a race that begs what it needs, cannot hope to get the same recognition that is accorded a race that maintains and sup- ports itself. Mr. Jones, who happens to be independent and self-supporting is respected even by Mr. ‘Smith, next door, who possibly may hate him, the said Mr. Smith being dependent on Mr. Jones.

L. Smith, Director for Southern Schools of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, in an address before the sociological section of the National Tubersulosis Association during its annual session here, last week, painted a picture which created a profound impression. Proving that both the white and black people of the South were losing health, money, and life itself through ignorance, insanitation in colored dis- tricts and lack of effort and sympa- thetic approach, Mr. Smith said: “The Negro death rate from. tu- berculosis is at least two and one- half times that of the whites in every Southern State. “In Tennessee he death rate of Ne- gro children of elementary school age is ten times that of the whites of the same age, ranging up to sixteen times for ages 5 to 9 years, but Dr. Bishop i attacking the problem scientifically. “Missouri which has a death rate ‘of 299.8 from tuberculosis among Negroes—the highest recorded in the South for 1928—shows the total deaths among Negroes from - all causes to be 84 per enet greater than the number of births; while the births among the whites the same year showed an increase of 38 per cent over the deaths. “As tuberculosis was unknown ix the native country of the Negro when he was brought to America as a slave this high death rate must be due to sociological rather than biological causes. “Since the germs of tuberculosis are dreadfully shy of intelligence sanitation, the public health physician and nurse, the hospital and the full dinner pail, and are comfortably ai home with ignorance and superstiti tion, dark corners, insanitary homes ‘and communities, would it not be goo’ business to double, or even quadruple the amount being spent on Negro ed ‘ucation, sanitation and public health services, thereby saving millions an ually from economic loss? “Unless more is spent to preven! tubereulosis among Negréts'the rate for whites can never be reduced to a satisfactory number. Some of our methods in the past have been as fu: tile as trying to cleanse @ stréan when there is a dead horse in the spring above. “The total annual economic loss from tuberculosis among Negroes of the South is more than double the value of all Negro public school prop- erty—in some states more than three times, including the cost of the Rosen- wald Schools. “No satisfactory ecective program of health m the South can be pro- jected that does not take into counsel and service outstanding Negro physi- cians, nurses, teachers, and welfare workers. They are not only capa- ble of offering sound suggestions and skilled services, but of carrying any program directly to the people who heed it. Far-seeing public officials are realizing this and are beginning to employ a few in health, education, and welfare work, in connection with state, county, and city departments. “The teacher is the only means through which the great maiority of rural Negroes can be reached imme- diately, and yet teacher training col- leges are sending their graduates out with but little knowledge of public health practices, or even skill in de- tecting simple defects in children. Health education in teachers’ colleges can be a most effective way of reduc- ing tuberculosis among Negroes and the only way to reach and save the present crop of rural elementary chil- dren. “A few additional thousand dollars spent on sanitation in the Negro sec- tions of any of our Southern cities, rigid enforcement of the sanitation and housing laws, and vocational training to increase the earning pow- er would greatly assist in reducing the tuberculosis rates in cities im- mediately.” The address heard by health of- ficials from all over the South pro- voked discussion which is expected to have far-reaching effect upon pre- ventative measures throughout the South.

This work was somewhat uncommon, so Renold Renfro found it not only enticing but profitable as well. He was experimenting with an idea which clung tenaciously to the back of his brain and from which he could not, to save himself, completely escape. During the noon hour when the other hands were ensconced in shade spots where the glaring sun could not beat down upon them, Renold Renfro found something to do and did this energetically. Then the time arrived when he decided to make the long contemplated disclosure to his foreman; and he unhesitatingly explained what he had accomplished. More- over, he demonstrated the truth of what he said by displaying a beautiful piece of exotic pottery —a vase. ‘ Boke. > —e ie .

Renold Renfro nodded in the affirmative and decided, during the same interval, that he had better stick up for himself. Any- how, a man of his ability had-no reason to be meek and humble to the point of submissiveness. “Yes, sir,” he proriounced with surprising vigor, “this vase is the result of an experiment covering two years; and the idea belongs entirely to me.” The foreman helped himself to another chew of tobacco, and drawing himself up to his full height, observed quaintly: “Dog-gone! Dog-gone! That's downright ‘purty. Yes sir-ee, downright purty. But—do you ‘low as how you can repeat the operation with any degree of success? In other words, can you take this clay here like we use to make brick, and duplicate this vase you got here?” Renold Renfro nodded acknowledgement. You see, this ambitious youth had already made up his mind exactly what course of action he was going to pursue, and there was no occas- ion for excitement. He promptly left his job there at the brick- yards and moved to Missouri, where he found the right kind of clay and he has been there ever since. Continued on Page Seven er Vases.

How he con- ceived a way of doing this and the degree of ‘success he has achieved provides an intensely interesting story, considerably stranger than the usual story of success. Renold Renfro at the age of twenty-two was employed at a brickyard where red brick was manufactured. His work consisted principally of pushing a wheelbarrow filled with clay and dumping it, only to return posthaste for a second helping.

"Hello, big boy," she greeted. "How you feelin'?" "Fine, my Black Beauty. I'm in the pink of condition and it's just another workout for your he-man." And Concrete grinned as only he could grin. Jennie coyly sat on the sofa and Concrete lost little time in whispering the words every woman loves to hear, whether white, black, yellow, or red! It was past ten o'clock when Concrete finally left his damsel. Usually he stayed until past midnight, but Manager Wright insisted that he be in the hotel by ten-thirty on the nights previous to his fights. Just as Concrete reached a lumber yard, two masked men, with guns, stepped out; one spoke harshly: "Throw 'em up! Pronto, too!" Into the lumber yard, Concrete was marched. Although he was taken by surprise, it took Concrete but a moment to realize that his life was in danger. In the yard were three other men, also masked, and they grinned wickedly as Concrete stood before the leader. "You're due for a buggy ride," he declared in a rasping voice! "What for?" asked Concrete. "I ain't done nothin'. If you want my money, youse all kin have it. But I can't understand the fire works." "You can't huh? Well, you will when we're through with you." With that, the leader, who was none other than Cropsy, Willie Burns's right-hand man, winked at one of his henchmen, who immediately tied the black boy's wrists behind his back. He was then led to a wall in a remote part of the yard. "All right, boys." ordered the leader, let him have it." Concrete was powerless to prevent what happened. Fists, covered with "horseshoe" rings, cut his face to pieces. Not one word was uttered by any of the men, nor by Concrete, for he had been warned that if he yelled, a bullet would finish him. The last Concrete remembered was a black-jack descending upon his head. Tod Wright was pacing up and down the dressing room of the Twilight Boxing Arena. Never had the manager been so worried. He could not understand why Concrete had not returned to his room the night before. It was now ten o'clock and the semi-windup was half over. Wright had managed, somehow, to keep the news of Concrete's disappearance from becoming public, for he had implicit faith that his fighter would appear in time. Tod had spoken to Jennie, but it was beyond her to explain why her sweetheart had not returned to his home. Ten seventeen! Wright groaned as he glanced at his watch. Any moment the semi-final would be over. Suddenly, he turned towards the door. It opened, and in walked Concrete—but a different Concrete from the one who had left him the previous night. He was swathed in bandages; one eye was completely closed, the other half-way; his nose was four times its normal size, and his ears were cauliflowered for life. "Tell me, quick," yelled Wright, "what happened." Concrete lost little time in relating his story. "And," the fighter concluded, "I was picked up this morning by two workmen of the lumber yard. An ambulance took me to the hospital, where they bandaged me up. I did not come to until a short time ago. I slipped one of the white coat boys a 'sawbuck' and he lets me loose." "Oh, so you had money, eh?" ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7, 1930 THE FIGHT "Concrete swung his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face." "Yassah, they didn't touch my money." "I see! Well, we'll get to the bottom of that later. I think it best to ask for a postponement and sacrifice our $5,000 forfeit money." "No suh!" declared the black boy, "I feel all right. I'll smack this fighter down pronto." Concrete grinned again. "Anyways," he continued, "that mob learned me that word 'pronto' and I like it." Wright looked into the champion's eyes. They were hard and there was that manner about him which foretold Wright that it would be useless to argue. Concrete slowly unwound the bandages and drew his bathrobe collar over his head. Wright smiled. "Gee," he breathed to himself, "I'd give my left eye for Mike Gibbons to see my champ tonight." by complete surprise to the head and the stomach had Ahmad breath. "My God," cried who had covered the last twenty years crete's face! But the rest of the other correspondent Concrete's profile The referee bit Wright was thinking. Although he had little doubt but that his man would win if he were in perfect condition, it seemed almost suicide to allow him to fight under the present circumstances. "Why," he thought, as he watched Concrete change to his trunks. "his face looks like it's been hobnobbin' with a meat cutter." "Nothin' doing! You're not gonna fight tonight. I'll take you out front and show the dear ol' public what this town's gang presented you with." "Listen." declared Concrete in a slow even voice. "I'm fightin' tonight. I'm going to show that mob hoo' a real champion fights." Wright looked into the champion's eyes. They were hard and there was that manner about him which foretold Wright that it would be useless to argue. Concrete slowly unwound the bandages and drew his bathrobe collar over his head. Wright smiled. "Gee," he breathed to himself, "I'd give my left eye for Mike Gibbons to see my champ tonight." Concrete kept his head lowered as he walked down the aisle. The cheers rang out, for the fans as well as the newspaper writers had heartily declared he'd be the "fightinest" champion of them all. A few moments later. Concrete went to the center of the ring to receive instructions from the referee. His head was still lowered, for he knew that should the referee see his face, the fight would be postponed. Back in his corner. Concrete faced Wright, his robe still protecting his face from the view of the fans and press. At the bell. Concrete whirled and dashed to the other side of the ring and took the Turkish champion by complete surprise. A right cross to the head and a left hook to the stomach had Ahmend gasping for breath. "My God," cried a sports writer, who had covered boxing bouts for the last twenty years. "Look at Concrete's face!" But the rest of the fans, as well as other correspondents, had viewed Concrete's profile just as quickly. The referee bit his lip, as he realized that he had pulled a blunder by allowing Concrete to fight. Allowing? Hell! The ebony one hadn't even discussed it. Well, he'd stop this bout right now. But Concrete had other ideas. He had figured, in his own way, that the referee would send him to his corner the moment he saw his face. So there was only one thing to do, a speedy knockout—one that was bronto. As the referee raised his hand to slap Concrete on the back, the colored boy shot over a terrific right to the point of the chin, and Turkey's hopes for a world's champion were eliminated right there and then, as far as 3 the middleweight division was concerned. The ovation Concrete received was one which lasted over ten minutes. Here was a man who had entered the ring when he should have been in a hospital. Wright, a great believer in publicity, had informed a few of the front seat boys and the press how his champion had been cowardly attacked. It may well be imagined how that news had spread throughout the arena. Concrete was carried to his dressing room, where he noted that his manager was not present. Never before had Wright left him. There was a knock at the door, and an attendant informed the victor that Miss Jennie White was desirous of entering his sanctum. Five minutes later, lone photographer, was vibrant with excitement, as he made his way to his office, for he had the pictures of Concrete Brown, Middle-weight Champion of the World, and Jennie White, in a famous clinch! Tod Wright entered upon the blushing couple. "Give us a shake, Mr. Wright, whispered Concrete. "We're engaged." "Been expectin' it. Here's wishing you plenty of luck and a Concrete junior in time." Concrete hastily changed the subject by inquiring where Tod had been. "Oh," said the manager with a glint in his eyes, "I saw Willie Burns and I had a long talk with him. He's on his way to Canada or Mexico by now. You see, I had an idea that he was the man behind the job when you received that lacing last night. And after pumping him, he admitted it." Concrete groaned. "Why didn't you tell me, Mr. Wright; I'd have certainly given him a trip to the hospital. Ten minutes alone in a room with him and I'd have got my revenge." "I know, Concrete," soothed Wright, "how you feel. But I let him go for old time's sake. He and I were very close for a long while and I didn't relish sending him to jail." A laugh rang out. And Wright was relieved. "All right, Mr. Wright, you're the boss. I'm willin' to forget it. For, after ali I have Jennie and everything else." Concrete was like that! Time brings many changes, and it did in Concrete Brown. He continued to win battle after battle, but success had gone completely to his head. He tasted the fruits of the King and enjoyed every moment immensely. He became unruly and uncontrollable. Wright was powerless to do anything with him. And as for training, that was virtually a thing of the past, unless it was just for the benefit of newspaper men or to show his prowess for his Queen. Jennie White. Wright would have given him the "gate," but his business acumen rebelled, for, after all, Concrete was a champion, and one who was making money for him. So, after a procession of arguments, Wright decided to let his once idol go his own way, hoping against hope that Concrete would some day come to his senses. As for Jennie White, she gloried in her position. Life was all honey to her. Concrete gave her elaborate gifts, and everywhere she was feted as the champion's sweetheart. Other colored maidens gave her envious glances, which Jennie White loved—more than she loved Concrete Brown. But he never knew that, for he continued to spend all his money on his fiancee without ever a thought for the future, when he would be King no more. One day Wright walked into a restaurant, when he heard Concrete's voice. The Negro champion was speaking in a nasty tone to a waiter. "Awful!" "What's awful, sir?" asked the waiter. "The fish—and you, too!" And bang! Concrete swung his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face. Down he crashed with half a dozen dishes on top of him. "You all knew the fish was awful. Continued on Page Four The Rise And Fall of Concrete 4 Continued From Page Three Next time I come in here again youse give me good fish, or they'll fish you out of the Hudson River.” Wright was disgusted. To hit a defenseless man was an outrage, and the manager told Concrete so. “Oh, yeh? Well, ain't thai just too bad.” ‘And he turned on his heel and walked out. Wright left the restaurant imme- CONSTIPATION?

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECT!ON—June 7, 1930 for the dishes. Two days later, Wright matched his battler with Dusky Rhodes, an- other colored pugilist. who was com- ing fast. He had won every one of his last eighteen fights. When Wright told Concrete of the match, all Con- crete said was, “I guess I'll: knock him out easy.” “Yes, you will—not,” shot back his manager quickly. “This boy’s good and I advise you to start training.” “You can advise, but that’s all, for I ain't gonna train till I get ready, see? Wright smiled. “I expected that. After this fight’s over, you get a new manager. Now see to that!” “All right, all right. I don’t need ‘no manager no how. I can manage -my_own affairs, I can.” “Well, we'll see!” tenes There was tense silence as Con- ‘crete Brown stepped through the ropes of the Twilight Boxing Club. |Then there was an uproar. The peo- ple cheered and shouted. Their idol was again going to give them the action they had looked forward to so many days. Concrete was full of smiles as he |stood in his corner. He was happy. |'He was thinking. “With this money \I get for this fight and what other |money I have that I've betted on \that I'd win this battle, I'll be able to marry Jennie.” His eyes rolled. | Wright was taping Concrete’s left hand and had started to reach for his lright hand when Concrete let out a jhearse groan. Quickly Wright looked jae Conerete. The man had turned |almost pink. His eyes were on the | person who had entered the ring in | the opposite corner. | “What's wrong?” asked Wright | anxiously. | “Who's that man?” | “Dusky Rhodes. The man you're to \fight.” |_ “Oh,” exclaimed Concrete. “That's | Ignatz Robbins!” “You must be mistaken. That's Rhodes. Wait, I'll ask him.” | Ina few moments Wright returned. /“You're right, that is he. He used to ‘call himself Robbins, but recently [Re changed his name to Rhodes. v— Just then Dusky Rhodes walked up to the shaking Concrete and said: “I see you all recognize me, doncha?” Concrete did not answer. “Well,” continued Concrete’s oppo- nent, “when this fight’s over, you're going to be Concrete Brown but with- out the title.” “What's all this?” asked Wright, who was astonished at this conversa- tion between the pugilists. “Only this,” said the grinning Rhodes. “About four years ago, Mister Concrete and myself met im Savan- nah, and I knocked him out with three punches. This time I'll do it in two, or maybe one punch, huh, Concrete?” Concrete appeared as if he wished he was anywhere but there a that particular moment. . ‘The referee interfered before Con- crete had a chance to answer, After the referee gave his orders, the ring was cleared and the men went to their corners. Concrete’s features changed. No longer was he confident or happy. The thought of that knockout by the man he was to fight now had scared him horribly. On the other hand, Rhodes was still grinning. The gong! Dusky leaped at Concrete and smashed him on his chin! Down went Concrete. He managed to arise at eight. Rhodes was at him like a tiger and again punched Concrete on the jaw. The referee counted the required ten. What Rhodes had said had come true—only two punches were necessary. The crowd was astonished, and af- ter recovering from its surprise, cheered the new champion and al- most as quickly forgot the man who had given ther more than their money's worth dozens of times. ‘When Concrete came to, he saw Jennie White in Dusky’s corner. He walked over and said angrily, “What you_doing here; Jennie?” “Go away, man,” she said. “Dusky is my old sweetheart. I married him today.” - Concrete was heartbroken. His air castles had fallen, and all that re- mained were bitter memories. In the dressing room, Wright watched as Concrete, who acted like a man in a trance, slowly dressed.

She was angered and_ surprised to learn that this was not her right. Better schools have stricter rules. Obedience to them is the price to be paid. More lessons and better re- sults are required and, with the aim of comin: always in mind, the par- ent should co-operate closely. Neater appearance and sounder health standards should be welcomed by the parent The privilege of liv- ing in the more enlightened parts of the country brings with it more re- spo-isibilities. After the school the mother should look for the public library. There her children will find good books to take home and read; and cheerful rooms to quietly use those books which cannot be removed. There is no excuse for soiling, tearing or otherwise destroying public books. Mothers should teach their children that this takes pleasure away from other children. Should books be lost, children should be trained to report the mat- ter promptly to their mothers. They should personally see to it that ‘the books are found or paid Tor, _ Recenily, many schools have had to help the libraries enforce their rules. In one instance, a child in an eighth grade had kept a book out a whole year and ignored all the at- tempts of the library to recover its property. This child finally stayed away from the library and gave up the valuable privilege, rather than pay for the lost book. The worst feature was the indif- ference on the part of the mother. Tae proper use of these great insti- tutions: the school and the library, should be taught to children by their parents.

STILL "GOING"AT100 THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLD WAR Slave, soldier, constable, deputy sheriff, humane officer—around these titles revolve the life and history of Ansel Clark of the little city of Portage, Wisconsin. Bald, a bit feeble, and with the lines well drawn about his face, this former slave who is now county humane officer is, in the flesh, only an image of his pictures of half a century, or even of two decades ago. But his spirit has not suffered; it may have been mellowed by age but it is still vigorous. Mr. Clark was born sometime in April (he doesn't remember the exact date) about a hundred years ago. DeSoto county, Mississippi, is his birthplace. Having been born into slavery, his mother was parted from him before he had a chance to learn from her the exact date of his birth. When asked about his natal date, Mr. Clark mischievously states that he "celebrates the whole month of April" as his birthday. For sixteen years Ansel Clark has been humane officer of Portage, and up to this day he trudges down town every day to see that the animals, especially the horses, are not ill-treated. He likes his work though the walk is a rather taxing one for a centenarian. But Mr. Clark being vigorous for one of his age does it with surprising ease. He carries his cane (pictured above) more as an adornment than as an aid. He has had an eventful life, and PLANTEN'S C & C OR BLACK CAPSULES Trademark Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.

He escaped from the prison camp near Arkansas in the thick of the fray and returned to his master's home in Mississippi; but conditions were worse there so finally he fled to Augusta, Ga., and joined the Northern forces. He has been jack-of-all-trades, having chopped trees, cooked and cared for the sick and was many times dangerously exposed to the fire of the enemy. Mr. Clark has worked for even $15 a year. This was in Wisconsin where at the same time he was busily engaged in learning the Indians. From then on his life has been filled with strange and unusual happenings. Everything he says is tinged with well-seasoned philosophy, a little faint and misty but nevertheless real. He is not a bit eager to enter the "pearly gates," and he declares in speaking of the other world: "They say it is all right, but we don't know; nobody has ever come back to tell. This world is a pretty nice place after all." How many of the present generation will live to be centenarians? Frankly, we don't know. A TONIC To Strengthen YOU. St.Josephs G.F.P.

BUNKER Nationally Known Grapho-Analyst THE VALUE OF HANDWRITING ANALYSIS "What does handwriting analysis do?" and "What does it offer to the man or woman who wishes to study it?" are questions that I am constantly being asked. Handwriting analysis does one thing. It gives the writer of a handwriting specimen an opportunity to see the defects in his own nature, to learn the possibilities or talents that he has, and so make something worth while out of his life. Chas. P. Steinmetz, the great electrical wizard, found the one field where he could make a success and as a result gave us some of the most astounding electrical developments that man has ever had. On the other hand, if he had been trained to be a preacher or a lawyer, he would have been an utter failure because his natural talent was along the mechanical or creative line. It is equally true that there are thousands upon thousands—countless thousands—of men and women who are miserable and unhappy in the work they are doing, simply because they are not doing the one thing for which they have been fitted. Now the man or woman who is trained to make such an analysis or determine what the truth is, as told by handwriting, has a field that is uncrowded, and that gives a wonderful opportunity for service to others. In Germany and in France, the trained Grapho-analyst fills an important place in the business, social and professional life of a neighborhood and this is coming to be the case in this country. Grapho-Analysis is going to be recognized as a profession, just as law and medicine are now recognized as professions. These latter two deal with the physical plane, whereas the grapho-analyst deals with the mental and so helps men and women find success and happiness in life.

Forget such terms! It is true that in the hinterland, away from the sophistication of the big cities such marriages still call forth society's ridicule, but that is rapidly passing. People are beginning to see that a mere difference in age will not necessarily be a handicap in marriage. In the first place, age is not so much chronological as a matter of physical health. A well preserved woman of fifty can be actually younger than a sickly man of thirty. If your sweetheart pays no attention to ridicule before marriage, he probably won't afterwards. Of course, you will have to be more careful of your appearance and more alert than an ordinary wife, but that really won't hurt you. We all need something to inspire us to look and act our best. If you are willing to take a chance go ahead. If your sweetheart is thirty-five, he is old enough to know what he wants. - to give the desired flavor, which has une advantage of making a little ham go a long way.

Masterpieces of Exotic Art Continued from Page One Fashions in pottery change as rapidly as the creations of feminine attire; and one needs but a solitary glance at the unique display of unequalled pottery to convince one that Renold Renfro is more than equal to the most prolific efforts of our modern gown designers. During the summer months of the year and frequently in the winter, hundreds of tourists visit this picturesque spot in Southeast Missouri and leave with the picture clinging like a leach to their minds—the picture of the unusual phenomena of trees sprouting pottery from their branches, gray bulks which are antiquated log cabins, smoky kilns, and the pleasant face of the molder of clay—and indeed a picture to be remembered. Here at this pottery plant, one sees an intensely interesting parade of pitchers, vases, trays, candlesticks, urns, busts and figures of ancient statesmen; and the heroes of mythology pass within range of one's observation. The first favorable impression is one that cannot be shaken off. No matter where your travels have taken you, no matter into what country you have gone, you realize that you have never seen before such a conglomeration of artistic accomplishments as these which have been carved from these crude materials. Additionally one beholds practical earthenware which should be used in the kitchen of the modern home, made to contain water and food in the same way as the mysterious mound builders. This assortment of ornaments and ingenious objects is neatly arranged in conspicuous locations. One is not slow to realize the value of these objects d'art when once they have been carefully examined; still Renold Renfro does not sell by mail, nor does he respond to interrogative letters. Every piece of pottery he makes is sold there on the old home place. There is a glamour of romance woven about the fantastic shapes, the motley colors, the heads in relief—and there is romance twined about the life of the talented dark-skinned artisan. It has required strength of character, determination, the conquering of bitter hardships to continue the dreams of forty-eight years ago, but that is what Renfro has achieved. Located on a country road three miles from the noises of a traffic-bartered town, where it is still and quiet, and where in the summer time silver fish splash in the cool waters of deep streams and where brown gloom thickens when the twilight comes, and where fireflies blast the solid blackness of the night, these marvellous pieces of art grace the spaces. The pottery maker has traveled extensively in quest of further knowledge, but has allowed nothing to interfere with the originality of his plap. A piece of Renfro pottery is as unmistakably distinct as the machinery with which it is made. The fire that heats and hardens the clay has left its mark on the face of the admirable worker. There is the rattle, the clang, the ripping tear of machinery; the clank of the harness chains, the unceasing thud of hoofbeats of the tireless draught horses traveling their endless circle around a crude mill in which the clay is mixed, dragging a French Love Drops An enchanting exotic perfume of irresistible charm, clinging for hours like lovers loath to part.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 7, 1930 long pole which revolves the mixing wheels. The trees are filled with crockery while the walls of the cabins are lined with wares of different sorts; these objects cling in stirring variety; a few churns, some vases, several asn trays, a lamp, urns, jugs, pitchers, crocks; candle-holders wall ornaments, grinning old men and grotesque, leering death masks; these are the staples. Renold Renfro discussed how some women visitors declared they would not soil their hands in the dirty, clayey stuff—and yet, as he pointed out so clearly, those very same women would go to the nearest beauty parlors and pay exorbitant prices to have clay put upon their faces. The beauty of those iridescent shades were brought forth from the ground—the vivid contrast between the finished product and the crude ways of achieving that same; the ash heaps all about, a pot-bellied stove of ancient origin; from the crotch of a tree a diabolically grinning face hung by a wire, yet artistic to the last degree. And therein lies success, even though not in the weight of accumulated riches, but rather in the weight of real accomplishment. Renold Renfro as done much to establish the talents of a colored man who for a long time was deprived of the advantages necessary to the pursuit of an artistic career, but he has come through on sheer pluck alone.

Young Woman Well and Strong "My mother gave me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when I was sixteen and it made a woman of me. I was feeling miserable and would cry most of the time. I eat and sleep well and have lots of pep. In fact, I feel well and strong and can do the work I have to. We keep a rooming house and have seven people to cook for. I am glad to tell people what the Vegetable Compound has done for me."—Margaret Williams, 913 Arnaco Street, Alexandria, Virginia. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Lydia E. Pinkham Med. Co., Lynn, Mass. How To Be Beautiful By GERALDINE FOX The Distinguished Auth SMILE The Distinguished Authority on Beauty Culture. Of all the things that I would say in my suggestions on how to be healthy and also beautiful, there is one thing that I can assure you will work marvels in both physical health and in the happiness of the soul. Learn to smile. You may think it funny but a smile is just as much a medicine as a grouch or a frown is a poison. Think over the people that you know. There are some possibly who are always smiling and still are unhealthy, but the majority of people who have learned how to smile keep in pretty good physical condition. Here and there though you will find a man or woman who is always grouchy. They are unpleasant, they are snappish and if you will look them over carefully you will find that they are also usually complaining of something the matter with them or maybe you think that the condition of their health has caused the grouch but a good many times you will also find that the grouch has caused the unhealthy condition. For this reason, I want to say to you ladies who want to keep pretty and you men who want to keep healthy that there is nothing much more important that you can do and that costs you less than to learn to smile. The doctors have a lot of long terms that they use in telling about the reason why a smile helps to make you healthy and pretty but we can lay aside all the mystery of their language and know that this is a fact; a smile does do something to the human body that is curative. It helps to alleviate or drive away pain. It helps to build up health, and it also helps to build up happiness and happiness means beauty nine times o:t of ten. You may have to fake some of the smiles that you use. Over a breaking heart or an unhappy life you may have to put up a false front but that false front helps to sell you to people and that sale is bound to make you friends and those friends will give you something to smile about.

Place Philadelphia cream cheese in the centre of a bed of lettuce. Arrange 5 or 6 orange sections around the cheese to resemble the petals of the poinsettia, putting thin slices of pimento on top of each section. The strips of pimento may be curved to represent a cane and will make a more effective decoration. Serve with mayonnaise in the centre of the cheese and decorate with pieces of green pepper cut in diamond shapes.
