No. 32 Color Effort Made To Inflic Upon Labor Org ARRESTED FOR ORGANIZING NEGROES, SIX WORKERS TO GO ON TRIAL FOR LIVES JUNE 19TH IN ATLANTA Workers in Nation-Wide Protests Against Efforts of Southern Bosses to Electrocute Two Negroes and Four Whites. (Crusader News Agency) Atlanta, Ga., June—The trial of six workers held on a charge of "inciting to insurrection," based on an old Civil War Law which is being used for the first time against working class leaders who have incurred the haunt of the southern white rulings class because of their insistence organizing Negro and white workers together, has been set for June 19. The charge carries the death penalty if convictions are obtained. And the Atlanta bosses and their state machinery are making every effort to secure convictions and send these workers to their death as a terrorist deterrent to the breaking down of the age-old wall of race prejudice and hatred which the white rulers of the South have so carefully built up against the unity or black and white workers. The six workers facing the electric chair as a result of their defiance of the ideology of Negro interiority and racial separation with which the imperialists justify the particularly brutal oppression of the Negro masses at home and abroad are Gilmer Bracy, Field Organizer of the American Negro Labor Congress who, at the time of his arrest, was touring the South for his organization, with Atlanta the tenth point in his itinerary; Anna Burlak, International Labor Defense organizer; Mary Dalton, National Textile Workers Union organizer, Henry Story, a local Negro Communist, H. M. Powers, organizer for the Communist Party; and Joe Carr, organizer for the Young Communist Leakee. Powers and Carr were arrested two months ago for holding a meeting of Negro and white workers. Brady, Story, Mary Dalton and Anna Burlak were arrested May 21st at a lynching protest meeting held by the American Negro Labor Congress at which Brady was the chief speaker. Brady and Story are Negro workers. The others are white. Denied Bail So far every effort on the part of the International Labor Defense which is conducting the defense to secure bail for these six workers has been resisted by the prosecutor of Fulton County and the Atlanta courts. J. Louis Engdahl, general secretary of the International Labor Defense, who has just returned from the South where he visited the prisoners and addressed several successful mass protest meetings reports a growing mobilization of hostile sentiment by the Ku Klux Klan and the American Legion. The Klan even told a demonstration near the Fulton jail where the prisoners are confined, Engdahl reports. In the meantime, the prisoners are being harassed in every possible way. Joe Carr is confined in the death cell in murderers row. Brady and Story, the two Negro workers, are held in solitary confinement, having been removed from the jim-crow quarters of the Negro prisoners among whom Brady had started a class in economics. The prisoners are denied all rights and may not receive newspapers, even the reactionary papers being kept from them. Meals sent them by the International Labor Defense are stolen by the prison guards as a rule. They are allowed no visitors, Engdahl managing to see them only after the sharpest struggle. Make Sharp Protest In a letter sent to the General Solicitor, Sheriff J. Lowry and the Fulton warden, the six workers protest sharply against the unabated perceptions they are forced to undergo at the hands of the prison authorities. In no uncertain terms they demand the right to receive newspapers and magazines, the removal of Carr from the death cell and the discontinuance of the solitary confinement of Brady and Story. Workers Wrath Rsing In the meantime, mass meetings of Negro and white workers being held throughout the country under the auspices of the American Negro Labor Congress, the International Labor Defense, and the Trade Union League, are giving warning to NEGRO WORKERS DEFY BRIT- ISH BAN New York, June—(CNA)—"In spite of the ban placed on the holding of the International Trade Union Conference of Negro Workers in London, England, July 1, our conference will be held on the date scheduled," states J. W. Ford, chairman of the provisional international trade union committee of Negro workers, yesterday. "Plans and preparations are going ahead for the election of delegates in various parts of the world. The Negro workers are determined to hold their conference on July 1st. "The prohibiting of our conference is part of the whole policy of the so called "labor" government headed by Ramsay McDonald, the socialist premier of England. It is ruthlessly exploiting and oppressing the colonial people in the British Empire, for the benefit of British capitalists. At this very moment the British government is directed by the British "labor" Government are shooting down Indian workers and peasants by the hundreds in an attempt to crush the rising movement of these toilers against British imperialism. 43 Murdered in Africa "We already know of the great repressions carried on against the African natives in the British colonies. The murdering of 43 native women in West Africa recently by the British troops is fresh in the minds of the toiling workers of Africa. "We are already informed that delegates are coming from the All-African the southern bosses and their Ku Klux instruments of terror of a working class at last aroused against the lynching terror of the southern white rule class against militant Negro and white workers. In New York City a huge mass meeting was held at Fifth Ave. and 110th St., last Saturday afternoon, and a resolution unanimously adopted denouncing the southern lynching terror and demanding the unconditional release of Brady, Dalton, Burlak, Story, Powers and Carr. On the previous night a Conference Against lynching, called by the local district of the Communist Party, was held at Harlem Casino, 116th Street and Lenox Avenue, with delegates from a large number of Negro and white organizations participating. The Conference went on record endorsing the struggle against lynching launched by the Communist Party, and passed a resolution calling upon all workers' organizations to rally to the fight against lynching and for the release of all class-war prisoners, including the Atlanta Six and the leaders of the March 6 Demonstrations Against Unemployment who were arrested in New York and other cities and railroaded to prison without even the usual sham of capitalist justice. In Philadelphia, a large number of white and Negro organizations responded to the call of the American Negro Labor Congress for a Conference Against Lynching. The conference was held last Friday night, Jure 13, at 39 N. 10th St., and laid the basis for an aggressive campaign against lynching and other forms of white ruling class terrorism used against the frightfully oppressed southern Negro masses. A resolution was adopted endorsing the campaign began by the American Negro Labor Congress against lynching and demanding the unconditional relase of the Congress Field Organizer Gina Brady, the other five members. The resolution also called upon all working-class organizations to wire their demands for the release of the six prisoners to Fulton County Superior Court, Atlanta, Georgia, and requested workers and their organizations to mail greetings to the prisoners at Fulton Tower Prison, Atlanta, Ga. Bosses Papers Show Fear Already the demonstrations of Negro and white workers against the death threats of the Atlanta bosses are having their effect. Afraid of the rising anger of the workers throughout the country, the Macon Telegraph warns the textile barons that the pressing of the "insurrection" charges will mean a leap forward in the organization of the Negro and white workers of the South The Telegraph maintains that the crudeness and the violently terroristic methods will be too much for the southern workers and calls for more fineness and skilful frame-up methods in fighting the Communist Party and other class-struggle organizations. RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1930 Roughly Handled By Park Policeman Miss Gay Twitty, 14-year-old high school girl, was severely beaten and probably seriously injured by A. L. Moore, park policeman, stationed at Monroe Park in the west end section of Richmond, Thursday, June 19th. Why a man should beat up a girl in this manner is beyond comprehension of civilized people. The facts in the case seem to indicate that this policeman allowed his color prejudice to change him into a brute of the forest. It seems that Miss Twitty and two girl companions were on their way home from Armstrong High School about 12:30 o'clock and while passing thru Monroe Park sinning they were interfered with by a gang of white boys. When told to mind their own business, one of the boys called these girls the usual "d---- niggers" and incidentally mentioned that he would cut off a head or two. It was at this moment that the big brave policeman rushed up and insecur or protecting the girls as common sense would have dictated, he slapped Miss Twitty in the face. She struck back and he promptly knocked her down and chocked her and put his foot upon her neck. He then dragged her on the ground about thirty feet to the park house where he called the patrol wagon and sat her to the station house. From the station house she was removed to the Detention Home, where her family received her in custody. Her brother-in-law, Mr. Rufus Moss, hearing of the incident, went to the park to investigate and was promptly placed under arrest. It is said that all attempts made by him to swear out a warrant for the officer for his brutal action were futile. Mr. Moss is a respected business man and conducts a restaurant on South Lombardy Street. His wife, Mrs. Sarah Moss is sister to the Twitty girl and they are raising her. The girl's arm is badly twisted, from the long dragging and she is otherwise injured. Several citizens have become aroused over the incident and plans are being perfected to prosecute this flagrant violation of authority on the part of this minion of the law. Attorney Alfred H. Cohen has been retained by the family. Friday morning in police court Mr. Moss was fined $5. The girl's case is called for Saturday morning. Hard Times Halt Would-be Husbands Hard Times Halt Would-be Husbands The Planet investigator has been very busy doing gum-shoe work, searching for a husband for one of our Richmond girls, who has asked The Planet to ferret out a suitable mate for her. The specifications call for a man above 35 years, with a job and able to provide a home in the west section of Richmond. We have secured some prospects, but these hard times have made the boys a little slow in coming to "taw". But we are determined to fill the bill and have been quietly hunting down prospects and you may confidently expect some results soon. We had a fine prospect from Halifax County, but the specifications call for a man in sight. If this party will consider moving to Richmond he notify The Planet. Our trouble seems to be that fellows who are single are importuned by their girl friends not to leave them and the married girls are begging for a chance to give their men away. So there we are. can National Conference, from the Non-European Federation of Trade Unions of South Africa, from the Kenya Association of East Africa, and from other parts of Africa. "The Trades and Labor Council of Jamaica reports that it will send a delegation, the Haitian workers are sending a delegate, and we are expecting delegates from Cuba, Panama and other West Indian countries. 8 From America "From America, 8 Negro delegates will attend the Conference, representing the following important industries: metal, mining, packing, agriculture, auto, needle, railroads and marine. Many candidates have already been nominated and some have been finally elected. "The Second National Convention of the Needle Trades Industrial Union held in New York, on June 9 elected a Negro woman delegate to represent that industry at the conference, and at the same time to be one of the delegates to represent the needle trades organization at the Fifth World Congress of the Red International of Labor Unions. --- M.

C., June 13, —The annual exhibition of the Department of Architecture in the Applied Science building at Howard University,open to the public frof 9 A. M. to 4:30 P. M. during the Summer Session, contains some of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by Negro students in architecture, consisting of graduate theses, illuminated model houses, and stained glass windows. Prbably the most impressive effect of the entire exhibition is the artistic use of colors in the renderings. SUMMER SESSION AT Washington, D. C., Ju summer session at Howard began Monday and will continue August 13, during which the quality of work is required credits are given toward either quarters of the Uni All of the facilities of the for study, health, and replaced at the disposal of dents. One hundred and three offered in the following art, botany, chemistry, finance, economics, educa A feature of the exhibition is two theses, one a Residential Bururban Community Development presented in seven drawings by Floyd A. Mayfield, and the other a Suburban Apartment House Development presented in four drawings by John A. Welch, both members of this years graduating class. There are also illuminated models of Duplex houses with landscaping and gardening accessories. As a whole the exhibition includes york in architectural fundamentals from the elementary up through the more complex compositions. The community project is developed on the basis of a general financial analysis involving approximate cost and investment return. In each of these projects, consideration is given to the needs for future expansion. The plan involves seventy-five small houses at a cost purchaseable to the average income, the whole arranged into a complete group with community shops, civic control, and recreational facilities. Three cross-sections show the appearance of the project from different points of view. The other six drawings are detailed development of the features $f$ the general scheme of the project seen from both the exterior and the interior. The Suburban Apartment House Development represents a general solution of the modern housing problem, and includes as its important features due consideration for both the social and economic needs of its location in the community. Care is given to those details of architecture usually considered, as of minor importance. The selection and arrangement of furnishings of tyvical rooms has been given detail, consideration, together with recreational repurirements and landscaping. The entire group is presented with due regard for its economic practicability in every way. It is stated by Prof. Hilyard R. Robinson, head of thedepartment, that the field of architecture offers immense possibilities for Negroes who map compine the requisite training with industry and inclination to keep intelligently busy. All of the graduates of the shool o archecthitecture at Howard University are employed except those of this year's class. The course normally covers four years of study and requires of its students approach in subject matter involving fine arts, applied science and economies. SUMMER SESSION AT HOWARD Washington, D.

Communist Minister Convicted Newark, N. J.—(CNS)—Dozier W. Graham, a sixty-five year old Negro minister who became a Communist and was indicted for "hostility to the government" was convicted by a jury, in thirty minutes, on a charge of "inciting an assault upon the police of the city of Newark. The maximum penalty for the offense is seven years imprisonment or $3,000 fine, or both. Graham, who is the only colored man among the eight Communists charged variously with advocating the destruction of the government and inciting to violence at street meetings, will be sentenced Monday by Judge VanRiper. At the same time Dominick Flaian white, Communist organizer, found guilty May 28, also will be sentenced, Graham is Communist candidate for United States Senator from New Jersey and Flaiana a Communist candidate for Representative. Two unusual situations occurred during the trial. First, the man picked to be foreman of the jury before Judge VanRiper refused to take the jury oath on the Bible. Frederick R. Demarest, a civil engineer of 32 Bowdow Street, Maplewood, was the juror. He was released from service in the case. This unusual situation occurred just after the jury had been selected and accepted by both the state and defense. The second unusual situation was the barring of testimony, for the defense, of witnesses, who denied belief in God. As a result seven persons who sought to testify for Graham were not permitted to do so. One of them was Samuel Levine, who is also charged with hostility to the government. He was the head of the Wark City Commission at the last election, and is now Com- $2.00 PER YEAR; COPY, FIVE CENTS West Democratic Primary Decision Affirmed By The United States Circuit Court Of Appeals West Democratic Primary Decision Affirmed By The United States Circuit Court Of Appeals ATTORNEY COHEN PREDICTS THAT THE WEST DEMOCRATIC DECISION WILL BE AFFIRM ED BY THE U. S. SUPREME COURT His Letter Follows Editor Richmond Planet, June 14, 1980. Mr. Editor: James O. West on aMarch 26, 1928, petitioned the late Judge of the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond for a writ of mandamus against A. C. Billey, William Boltl and William Ricker, who were designated at that time to act as election judges at the first precinct in Madison Ward for the oncoming Democratic Primary to nominate candidates for the offices of Mayor, Councilmen and Aldermen for the City of Richmond to be held on April 3rd, 1928. The only legal ground upon which the Court could have denied the petition for a writ of mandamus was that it was prematurely brought because the judges had only been designated, and not actually appointed, but the Court went out of its way and ruled that Colored people could not vote in a Democratic Primary election because of the rule of the Democratic party limiting the franchise therein to white people only. Thereupon James O. West brought a suit against the above named election officers in the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia, asking damages in the sum of $5,000.00, because of the refusal of said judges to permit him to vote as he offered to do, in the Primary election held on April 3rd, 1928. The Democratic party through their lawyers, moved the Court to dismiss the suit on the ground that the rule of the Democratic party was constitutional. West, through his lawyers, contended that the rule of the Democratic party was unconstitutional, and Judge Groner held that the Democratic rule excluding Negroes from a vote in the Democratic Primary was unconstitutional and void, and by agreement of counsel for all parties, as this suit was brought merely to give the right to vote, and not to severely punish the election judges, no matter the constitutional verdict of $5.00 was agreed upon, and the jury was thereupon sworn, and asked to bring in a verdict of $5.00, which brought along with it all of the costs. The Democratic party, through its lawyers, appealed the case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the case was argued at Richmond, and on yesterday, June 13th, at Asheville, N. C., the last named Court, composed of three able judges, affirmed the judgment given West by Judge Groner. Within three months from June 13, 1930, if the Democratic party is not satisfied with the decision of the Court rendered at Asheville, N. C., which permits Colored people to vote in the Democratic Primary, it must cary the case to the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, D. C. It is the opinion of the writer that the Supreme Court of the United States will affirm the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down at Asheville, N. C. There is no doubt but that the Democratic party will see the case through to the Supreme Court at Washington. This of course, will entail further costs and expenses in fighting the case. But the victory that has already been gained should be followed up and defended vigorously, so that Colored Democrats may be granted their rights as citizens. The decision handed down at Ashleigh-Brown University, ordered at Richmond last May, is of far reaching importance not only to the Colored citizens in Virginia, but throughout the South, and will be hailed as another step in maintaining the rights given to the Colored people protected by the Constitution of the United States, from invasion by discriminatory acts and laws. ALFRED E. COHEN. munist party candidate for Congress, Levine was called as were the others, by the defense in an effort to test the court's ruling. He declared he did not believe in God "or any god." He arreed with Thomas Paine," he declared. "My religion is to do good." APELLATE COURT SAYS NEGROES CANNOT BE BARRED FROM DEMOCRA- TIC PRIMARY Ashville, N. C.—(CNS)—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals rules that the Democratic party of Virginia had no right to bar "Negroes and other races" from its primary. The ruling confirms the decision of the District Court at Richmond, Va., in the case of James O. West, vs. A. C. Bilee, William Boltz and William Richer. The three defendants were Democratic judges in the precinct in which West lived in Richmond. West was refused the right to participate in he Democratic primary for selection of nominees as city officials of Richmond on April 3, 1928, on the grounds that the plan of the Democratic party, adopted June 11, 1924, limited the right to participate in its primaries to white persons. The opinion was written by Judge Elliott Northcutt, of Huntington, W. Va. "If all the political parties in the State of Virginia incorporated the same qualifications in their rules and regulations as did the Democratic party," he wrote, "nobody could participate in the primary except white persons and other persons would be deprived of a material right guaranteed to them under the Constitution as amended; that is, the right to participate in the selection of candidates to be voted for in the election." The opinion was concurred in by District Judges W. E. Baker, of Elkins, W. Va., and William C. Coleman of Baltimore. William Lawrence Killed In Automobile Accident William Lawrence Killed In Automobile Accident STRUCK RETURNING FROM THE COMMUNION SERVICE. Mr. William H. Lawrence of 1003 North Seventh Street, age 55, was instantly killed Sunday night at 10 o'clock when struck by a car driven by Martin Shull, 18 of the 1800 block West Leigh St. Mr. Lawrence had just left communion services at the Ebenezer Baptist Church when he was struck by Shull as he attempted to cross Chamberlayne Avenue at Duval. He was dead before the ambulance arrived. The funeral services were held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Rev. K. D. Turner of Trinity Baptist, delivered the Eulogy. Mr. Lawrence is survived by his wife Mrs. William H. Lawrence, one daughter Miss Kate Lawrence and five sons, Wm. H. Jr. Raleigh, Joseph, Solomon and Mercer Lawrence. The body was interred at Evergreen cemetery. SAYS COMMUNE INVITES NEGROES Washington — (CNS) — Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican, of New York, chairman of the special House Committee which is investigating communistic activities in this country, states that J. Edgar Hoover, director of investigation of the Department of Justice, in testifying before the committee "demonstrated the direct control by the Third Internationale, with headquarters at Moscow, of the Communist party of America." The specific instances given, Mr. Fish said, were in connection with the alleged organization by the Communist party of "a special committee to incite revolutionary activities among the Negroes." This committee, Mr. Fish reported, "themselves as saying, "had special instructions to send selected Negroes to Moscow for special communistic training for world revolution." Further, Mr. Fish said, the committee was told of "discussions in Moscow by the working committee on the Third Internationale of ways and means of counteracting the influence and American Federation of Labor and how to stir up discontent among unemployed American wage earners" The committee heard Mr. Hoover at its second meeting. At its first meeting, Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, a student of Communistic affairs and regent of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University, gave the committee a word picture of the growth of Communism. THE PLANET Edit Editorial SWELL HEAD By Joe Simpson Will some psychologist come forward and explain to this writer why this elusive germ aects the Negro as it does? Or will it be necessary to call in a physician in order to get the desired information? It is true that all races of people are afflicted with this disease to a certain extent, but it affects the Nepro in a different manner than it does any other race under the shn. onsider the manner in which "swell-head" affects the white man in contrast to the way it affects the Negro, also the basic cause of the malady. The white man contracts the disease when he gets a good position or a considerable amolnt of money, and he will work for less than he would work for when he was poor simply because he eis expecting advancement. He will work for another of his race for less than he will work for a Negro whether he be rich or poor. No matter how msch education he has he is willing to sart at the bottom with the expectation of poing to the top some day. With the average Negro this attitude does not exist, he in some cases contracts "swell-head" because he has sattended college in others because he has a few hundred dollars and in still others for no apparent reason at all. He will work for a white man for half what he will demand of another Negro, he wants a job as president, secretary or general manager of the firm in which he seeks the job, if it operated by Negroes which job must carry a salary of at least thirty-five or fortf dollars a week on the start with good prospects of an early raise, when he will worg for a white man scrubbing floors, emptying cuspidors and numerous other low and contemptible jobs, for ten, twelve and fifteen dollars per week, with no chance whatever for advancement. Anyone who has been or is now employed in a position of an official capacity in a Negro business enterprise, will attest the veracity of theses statements. Keen observers will also admit that this condition is not as has generally been charged, confined to college men, but is as rampant among Negroes who have never seen inside of a college as it is, among college men. While this condition can be overlooked to som extent in the college-bred man, there is no excuse whatever for the man who has worked as a menial under a white man all his days with nothing to show for it, and who has done something to suddenly lift hm from obscurity to fame, or from rags to riches in aday withoutany effort whatever on his part. If you will consider and absorb the fact, that most successful Negro enterprises are based upon the same foundation, and ade operated on the same general plan as that of the white man, that they employ, as a rule, the same tactics in the selection of their employees as are employed by the white man, if you can stand hard work and can subordinate yourself to one of your own race, you have a chance to win, but if the word "hard-work" is not in your vocabulary and you are too big to be dictated to, you are doomed to failure, and you might as well make up your mind to remain under the heel of the white man therest of your natural life.

HUNT New York , June 13. - The 16th Springn Armed Medal, awarded annually to a United States citizen of African decent for most distinguished achievement in some honorable field of human endeavor goes this year to Henry A. Hunt, of Fort Valley, Georgia, "for twenty-five years of modest, faithful, unselfish and devoted sorbice in the education of Negroes of rural Georgia, and to the teaching profession in that state. In the face of great difficulties he has built up an excellent school and has at all times advanced the cause of his race with tact, skill and integrity."

His school was finely taken under the auspices of the American Church Institute for Negroes, an Episcopal organization, and is now one of the best high schools in the South. Mr. Hunt also took hold of the defunct state organization of Negro teachers and built it up into a live and influential body. He has been brought into contact with southern white men of all classes and his influence for the betterment of Negro education has been great.

Christner, the Akron heavyweight, by the carnivorous Carnea, Italy's man-mountain aspirant for the highest honors in the pugilistic world, it became apparent that in the place of the Statue of Liberty it might become necessary for America to erect a pedestal at the entrance to New York whereon would be placed the figure of one George Godfrey challenging all foreign challengers of the fistic supremacy of the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Carnera's fourth-round knockout of Christner was the eightenth of his American invasions and it was accomplished her 18-00 spectators who agreed that Christner gave all that was in him. His all was not enough. The giant Italian took a couple of rounds to solve Christner's style and to learn how to defend his bread basket. Then he waded in the final round to end the evening's ceremonies. The Christner bout had been hailed by the country's press as a sort of real test for Carnera. Most of his other bouts, it was said, had been against hams, set-ups, and gladiators who were willing to take a dive if sufficient cash inducement were offered. But it was claimed that Christner was not a ham, a set-up, or a diver, and that if a Carnera got by him, he would establish himself as a prizefighter. Well, Carrera got by, and the so-called big guys of the fistic game who have been making fun of him, and holding themselves in a class above him, now must realize that the Big Fellow is knocking at their door and they will soon have to answer. Carrera's next fight is with George Godfrey, the Leopard of Leperville, Pa. The fight is to be staged in Philadelphia. Godfrey can get few fights with any of the native sons, but is now to be used as an emergency wheel horse to test out this foreign invader. It is probable that Carrners doesn't relish this next dish which is being served to him on June 23. His luck against colored battlers hasn't been any of the best. Bombo Chevalier, out in California, was giving the Italian gentleman plenty of trouble, until he received direct orders to lay off. One colored fighter told of receiving a high cash offer to do the aquatic stunt. In Philadelphia once before the signer received a five-round thrashing before he disposed of his colored opponent in the sixth round. In meeting Godfrey is tackling the toughest of the tough. There is little disposition to dispute the claim that Godfrey, though a bit past his prime, is the best fighter in the world today. He weighs 240, almost as much as Carrnera's 265 pounds, and is the fastest of the heavyweights. Godfrey's best friends, however, have always been afraid that he is too kindly as a fighter. He seems to lack the killer instinct, and it is said that a rough man can whisper in his ear and frighten him. The outcome of his fight with Carnera will probably depend upon whether he enters it with the determination of whipping Carnera or just mildly hopeful that he can keep from being whipped. At any rate, judged by the present stock of heavyweights, Sharkey included, Godfrey looks like the only factor between Carnera and the pugilistic conquest of the grand old U. S. A. First Negro Lawyer Cincinnati, Ohio, June—(For the Associated Negro Press) Undoubtedly the Honorable John P. Green of Cleveland is the dean of all Negro lawyers. In age, he is eighty-seven; with sixty years of legal activity behind him, his practice dates from September 20, 1870 he has been a wonderful force for betterment in his State of Ohio, and in Cleveland, where he has resided for seventy-three years.

Superintendents and Teachers: I am again calling your attention to the Forty-second Annual Meeting of the Convention. Owing to the fact that the Executive Board was a little late in meeting this year to arrange the program for the convention, the program will be a little late in getting into your hands. The programs should reach you between the 20th of June and the 1st of July. I am asking that you do not wait for the program, but start now and go ahead preparing for the convention. The Executive Board met last week and arranged a very excellent program. One that is inspiring and is full of helpful suggestions. The Bible Institute and the Superintendent's hour are two special features we would like very much to see emphasized. Besides these we are arranging to have an expert Sunday School speaker, Mr. W. D.

Any one of these features is worth while and would pay you to be present to hear it. I need not take your time telling you about the location of Staunton. No trouble to get here from any direction. Ample provisions are being made for your care and comfort while here in our midst. We hope our voluntary missionaries are up and doing. We are depending on them as nevr beefoer. We especially want to see every superintendant in the district present. Each school should send representatives along with the superintendent. STAUNTON, VIRGINIA Mrs. Clara Vaughn Coleman, of Charlotteville, more recently of Craigsville, was convicted in circuit court of gusta County last Wednesday for the murder of Mrs. Hattie Gray, and was sentenced to nine years in the state penitentiary. The murder occurred February 27th, at Craigsville, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Goodall. According to the evidence the accused Mrs. Clara Coleman, acted in self-defence, in murdering Mrs. Gray. From the evidence, it showed that Mr. Coleman and an adopted child of the Coleman's went to the home of Mrs. Gray and found her husband there, whom she told to come home with her, telling him that it was not right for him to sit around Bessie's home, when he wasn't there. After returning home the evidence showed that he deceased Mrs. Gray, followed in an aggressive way, saying "She was going to get this Dam woman told about her husband," Mrs. Goodall, in whose home the Coleman's stopped, testified that she told Mrs. Gray "not to come in her house," it is here alleged, hat she persistently did enter the home where an altercation ended in her death. The evidence also went to show, that Mrs. Gray picked up a poker in a threatening manner, and at this point was killed by Mrs. Clara Coleman, in this unguarded moment. The attorneys for both sides, attempted to go into the personal lives of participants, which the court would not allow. Defending the accused were Mssrs. Bass and Grasty, and assisting Commonwealth Hugh Carr, was Chas. E. Curry. The jury visited the scene of the murder, during one day of the trial. The trial drew the largest crowd of colored people seen at a trial in many a moon in this city. Craigswick, a close-by village, Goshen and Augusta Springs all had large numbers.

MAXIE MILLER WRITES Love I Objective—Some Things About Love Some "High-ups" and "Low-downs" on Love, Can We Love at Will? (Note: For advice on various problems write to Marie Miller, care Literary Service Bureau, 634 Franklin Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas.) Dear Maxie Miller: Since you agree to help us with our problems I am going to present mine. I am a wife of twelve years and am unhappy because my husband does not love me. He is kind yet he frankly confesses that he does not love me as he once did. Whose fault do you think it is; and what can I do? Unloved wife. In the first place "Unloved Wife," you should examine yourself and try to determine if the fault is in you. If this man ever loved you it was because something in you inspired his love; something in you responded to something in him. Having inspired his love it was "up to you" to hold it. If he no longer loves you, it is fortunate. But one cannot control love because he desires nor can he refrain from loving because it is unwise o runprofitable or even dangerous. Love is objective—that is, the object must inspire love, awaken love, win love, and then by use of similar methods, hold it. Love is a delicate plant that requires cultivation. It is a fragile thing that must be protected from injury. It is a delicate sensitive thing that may be offended, hurt and discouraged. And it is a wild, ungovernable thing over which even the lordly will have little control. Coming back to your case, "Unloved Wife," it would be well for you to examine yourself and see if you have not "slipped a cog" and caused this change. Are you jealous and given to nagging? Are you untidy and sloven? Are you peevish and SIXTH MT. ZION ON OF GOD'S FILLING STATIONS Services at the renowned Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Sunday, June 15th were quite inspiring. The pastor Rev. A. W. Brown, preach, using for his subject: "Jesus' Two Greatest Gifts to the World." This was one of the most captivating sermons we've ever heard Dr. Brown deliver. Readers we did think to give you few high lights of this sermon but we decline. The spiritual flames were penetrating. The pastor teaches and preaches so plain, that the children understand it clearly; that's the way we like it. We want the gospel preach to us, so all can clearly understand it. No need of trying to show your congregation show much you know about the King's English, nor how nicely and polish you can say things. Ministers let us have more good SPIRITUAL PREACHING and SINGING. Some churches are just as cold and quiet as a hospital. When you are riding thru the city in your FINE CARS you conduct yourselves very lively, and you BLOW your HORNS on your gorgeous cars loudly, then why not blow the GOSPEL TRUMPET with little more activity and why not come to your congregations on Sunday mornings spiritually filled. We must say that Sixth Mt. Zion is a spiritual church, and has a very spiritual, logical, fearless, intelligent and progressive leader, in the person of Rev. A. W. Brown. That's the reason Sixth Mt. Zion is filled with people every Sunday. The people want gas, and they go where they can find it. Yea, yea, Sixth Mt. Zion is one of God's Filling Stations. Now, wonder what's Rev. Blanks rolling his eyes at me for—I ain't talking to him. LET'S GO TO MT. HERMON We see that there were excellent services at Mount Hermon Baptist Church, on Clay Street, near First, Sunday, June 15th, Glad that the God of Godliness and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit, is still abiding at this church. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Percy Lipscomb, is quite a young, progressive divine. He preaches with Authority, Power and Spirit. Suppose we go to Mt. Hermon next Sunday and encourage Rev. Lipscomb and his congregation. They are making rapid progress. Should the strong help the weak? Alright then, let's do so. COME ON—LET'S GO TO SECOND BAPTIST It is reported that Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill, the honored pastor of Second Baptist Church, preach a mighty telling sermon last Sunday morning, June 15th. His subject was "The Obnoxious Diet." Amplifier has never heard Dr. Hill, so we'll go to hear him Sunday, June 22nd, "A Church with a Welcome." FIFTH ST. BAPISTEN ENRAPT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT Services at Fifth Street Baptist Church, Sunday, June 15th were very enjoyable. The recently elected pastor, Rev. Dr. C. C. Scott, delivered a soul-stirring sermon. His subject was, "PENTECOST" Dr. Scott is doing a great work at this church. It seems that Fifth Street Baptist has become an irresistible magnet for drawing the people. Many know how hard the officials of this church struggled in finding a leader. Some criticised, some thought the church was going to be destroyed, some people laughed at her, some said they weren't going any further, some outstanding divines said that the responsibility was too great for them, and so on. But the few who are faithful and had Abrahamic faith in God stayed at the altar of God, asking and begging Him to save the Church. Yea, the Lord will try your faith. He said to the officials, "don't you let that House of worship go, here a Lamb!" It was Rev. C. C. Scott. See how God moves. The cash proceedings for the day amounted to $257.51. Go out to Fifth Street Baptist Church and be convinced. fretful? Are you extravagant causing your husband frequent financial troubles? Are you inclined to be cold and stand aloof? All these are destructive of love which must be attracted and then held captive. Perhaps you are foolishly "mushy" and inordinately affectionate. Do you lavish on your husband and carry petting and delicate associations to extremes? Do you constantly follow your husband with your sentimentality, denying him time for study and reflection? Examine yourself, I say and perhaps you will find the cause of your trouble. A man cannot make himself love his wife nor a woman her husband. One cannot love at will for love is not subject to the will. If love seems to lag or wane, nagging, complaining and demanding will only hasten the process of disintegration. (The Literary Service Bureau—1930) New Bern, N. C.—(CNS) Plans for raising the remaining $14,000 needed for the $150,000 Nepro hospital fund were made here during the week at a meeting of the hospital board of governors.

Johnson, Negro chairman of the hospital committee for the Episcopal diocese of East Carolina, acted as secretary. Among the 13 members present were Rev. W. R. Noe, of Wilmington, executive secretary of the Episcopal diocese, who represented Bishop Thomas C. Darst; Dr. Ira M. Hardy of Kinston, and George C. Royall of Goldsboro. Great Lawn Town Festival At Va. U. U. The women of Richmond in their effort to assist Virginia Union University in raising their desired goal July 1, are planning a big Lawn SOME LOVE QUESTIONS 1. Is there any true love? With undiscuised cynicism a young woman asked, "Is there in the world today any real, rue, pure, honest-to-goodness love?" While it must be admitted that there is some basis for cynicism, there is abundant evidence that love is not extinct. Just as physical life is not perish from the earth without the sun, so would there be social disintegration and social chaos without love. Without the light of love we would forever wander in the darkness; without the tie of love to bind, society would be hopelessly wrecked; without the stimulus of love men wouldaint beneath their heavy burdens; without the inspiration of love theest in human thought and human action would be impossible! 2. Is there such a thing as platonic love? Perhaps so, but it is seriously doubtful. Many persons have been deluded into believing that there such love, without sex attraction and sex significance, but history records many instances where such persons have awakened to the presence of this indefinable, subtle element. 3. Is sex love a sin? Writing it in capitals, bold face and underscored, the answer is NO! Sey love is the chief element in God's plan for keeping the human race alive. What man would want to marry a woman and have her to be the mother of his children if he did not love her? What woman would want to assume the arduous duties of wife and mother for a man whom she did not love? Then, since sex love is of God, and is a part of God's own plan, this same God would be inexcessuably unjust to blame or punish for the existence of the element for which He is responsible. But, God has provided a right way for the expression and enjoyment of sex love, and to depart from this is sin. 4. Should people marry without love? Absolutely, unequivocably NO! Only love can bring happiness and the supreme test of success in married life is HAPPINESS. Only love can give inspiration and strength to weather the gales, resist the temptations, bear the burdens, win in the struggles and endure the sufferings incident to married life. 5. Recapitulation: There is love i n the world; sex love is no sin; there may be "platonic love," NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, MARRY WITHOUT LOVE! WITHOUT LOVE (The Lierary Service Bureau—1930) MYTHS AND MORALS (By A. B. Mann) I. Agemennn Agemennon, king of Argos, was commander-in-chief of the Greek forces that fought the Trojan War to avenge the treachery of Paris, son of the King of Troy, in stealing beautiful Helen, wife of Menalaus. Of Agemennon much can be said in praise. He was willing to fight in the interest of justice, of innocent womanhood, and to avenge the wrong done to his own brother. He risked his own life for a principle and made his name immortal. And, in these things, this myehical Greek gave to the world an example worthy of consideration and emulation. In this age of selfishness and dominant, rampant materialism, when men abuse and trample the rights of others and when there is little respect for womanhood, it is well to emphasize the gallantry, the loyalty, the chivalry of this great warrior, Agemennon. The story has a sad and tragic ending. On returning home, after his memorable victories, this noble man was murdered by his own wife that she might have freedom to live with her paramour with whom she had been associated during the absence of her husband. This lamentable ending of so heroic a life should act as a warning to every woman, against forming illicit alliances. Finally, the fate of Agemennon should not discourage valor and loyalty to principle, for be it remembered that through the ages many have suffered martyrdom to their conviction of duty, and only through such can one win a place in the catalogue of the immortal helpers of mankind. (The Lierary Service Bureau—1930) Washington — (CNS) — Old boxes, crates and used lumber have not outlived their usefulness, in the belief of the Department of Commerce committee on wood utilization. The committee plans to interest 2,000,000 children attending 7,000 playgrounds in making useful articles out of such wood this summer. A booklet, "How to Make it,' has been issued, describing how to make more than 100 articles out of discarded wood. Richmond Deaths LeeRoy Greene, 1217 Grayland Avenue: died June 13th, age 75.

Dreams of fortune and fame that a young colored boy visioned while toiling fourteen hours a day under a blazing sun on a New Mexico ranch. The New Mexico sun is more conducive to dreams than work, but young Raymond Turner had many tasks to perform. As he plodded his weary way about the sun-scorched ranch under the relentless rays of Old Sol he dreamed and planned. At the little theatre in Rosswell he had seen a few moving pictures. On the rare occasions when he was able to scrape together a few pennies to procure a ticket to this shabby little house of enchantment he would come early and stand outside waiting for the box office to open—and when the last show was over and the lights put out for the night, a bright-eyed lad would reluctantly leave the theatre. Young Turner KNEW he could act! His friends were equally positive that he couldn't. He made the mistake of telling his friends of his hopes and aspirations. Many men with the spark of genius that might have won them fame have been laughed into an embarrassed oblivion by "friends" who could not understand. Not so with Raymond. Their jibes and laughs only served to spur him on with the firm determination to prove to them that they were wrong.

The little pile of nickles, dimes, quarters and few half dollars represented the savings of a long period of self denial. Pocketing the few dollars of change he faced the West and started his toll-worn young body toward the city where his heart already was—Hollywood. Several weeks later a tired, dusty, hungry boy trumped from studio to studio in search of work. No one seemed to have even a day's work as an extra for him. The massive studio gates and the uniformed gatemen seemed always between him and his objective. He was nearly famished, but the indomitable spirit that carried him from New Mexico to Hollywood, under the most trying conditions, kept him plodding on. Dame Fortune Smiles Then Dame Fortune smiled on him. One day as he was waiting near a studio gate half supporting his tired, starved body by grasping the iron rail outside the watchman's little office, Opportunity knocked. Al Rockett, the producer of "Abraham Lincoln," came hastily out of the gate and asked the gateman to call an employment agency for him. As he waited he noticed Raymond sagging slightly against the rail. Young Turner became suddenly aware of his gaze and attempted to stand erect. Rockett smiled at him and Turner swayed a bit, then pulled himself together and smiled—the sort of smile a courageous man smiles when he is losing a hopeless fight. Rockett, with the deep sense of understanding that had placed him high in the field of directors and producers, understood, partly at least. He asked the gateman to cancel the call; turned to Raymond and said, "Come inside, Son. I want to talk to you." Lands Chauffeuring Job In Rockett's office on the big studio lot a young colored lad was telling an amazing story of hardships and perseverance. Under the skillful guidance of the producer, the conversation drifted into channels that led to this unburdening of confidences. At the end of the narrative the man whose fame was won by an understanding heart, softly said: "I had it sized up about that way. That's why I asked you to come in. I've just lost my chauffeur. He had a chance to take a small part with another company on the lot and I let him take it. It seems to be just my luck to get good men who want to act and then lose them the first time a camera starts grinding. Can you drive?" Ray answered in the affirmative. "Well," said Rockett, "you have a job. We'll find out about your acting ability later. What you need now is a 'flock of hot groceries.'" His First Picture The deal was made. Tho' he was not yet an actor, he at least had access to the studio. As he told me later: "It seemed wonderful to see the gates that had so long been barred against me quickly open when I drove up in Mr. Rockett's big limousine." Raymond Turner was not destined to be a chauffeur for long. When the picture, "Hills of Mising Men," was made, Al Rockett let Director J. P. McGowan have Ray for the comedy part of the cook. His histrionic ability was definitely proved in this pic- (Continued on page 5) ON THE LEFT, the big good-natured smile of Raymond (Ray) Turner, whose rise to success in Hollywood came only after long privation, anxiety, and hard work.

HOW THE AUSTRALIAN NATIVE IS BECOMING MODERNIZED 2 Despite his scanty wardrobe, the Australian native and his lubra (wife) have adopted many modern fashions and whims while on the other hand, many of our present styles were used by them centuries past. Shingling, and the buster cut have been in vogue among the Australian natives for ages, for, to them, hair as an adornment has no charm. It has purposes of utility. The belt which the women of the northwest wear, is made entirely from human nair, while string, used for carrying articles, is also made from hair. Jazz, a product of modern civilization, is akin to the music produced by natives, for rhythm is the main essential. A native would be little disturbed by hearing the effect produced from a saxophone, for it is allied with their own "harmonious" tenderings. The dark-skinned native wriggles his feet in time to music, just as his western brother does to a jazz band, while the native who beats a hollow log derives as much pleasure as the modern trap drummer. It is novel to see natives who have had practically no contact with civilization, beating to the latest New York hit on the phonograph, and when their first fears have been allayed, they tap with their feet as the record grinds out, "When the Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along."

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 21, 1930 FORTUNE TELLER TO THE "400" FORTUNE TELLER TO THE "400" By PERCY B. PRIOR aboriginals, for, like the sounds produced from tribal sources, they imagined that the violin strings were some human agency, and that the soul of an unfortunate was crying out in anguish. So it was with the recorded voice upon the phonograph. At the first sound of Galli Curci, they stood up in alarm, and would have dived overboard if the machine had not stopped. They were plainly under the impression that a woman was secreted in the little box, and looked everywhere for the owner of the vocal effect. They could not understand that it was the record and sound box that produced the sound. Other artists met with similar fates, and even the high register of Caruso nailed to please them. But their fears were dispelled when the Broadway Blues thundered from the phonograph, and they beamed with pleasure at the rhythm of "Red Hot Mamma." They made a strange scene, the primitive men and women, with their shingled bobs and "bustered hair," listening with joy to the latest jazz numbers, and tapping as though they were dancing the steps of the fox trot, or the well-known black bottom. Their own vocal efforts would do injustice to a howling dog, for they start at a high pitch, and end only when the "vocalist" has run out of breath. They keep time by tapping two boomerangs together, while the men occasionally burst in and give the soloist a little support, by chanting a few bars. Aboriginal music, although not pleasant to western ears, is very colorful, being descriptive of the hunting of kangaroos, the beauty of the setting sun, or the prowess of some dead chief. It is chiefly a succession By R. J. HUBBARD Mrs. Cora Horton, of Little Rock, Arkansas, is widely known in this section of the country as a fortune teller to the most refined class of people; but when approached on the matter and asked to tell something of her methods, she says: "I am not a fortune teller. I do CORA FORTON not advertise my profession and do not make any charge. Mine is a gift from God." This woman has a modern home, beautifully furnished and lives in a fashionable neighborhood surrounded with all the comforts necessary which have come to her as gifts from friends. of chromatics, and the verses are but repetition. Wild natives who have had no previous association with civilized men will often mimic their actions. The fingering of a moustache will be copied by the aboriginal, while even a cough will be imitated. He smiles when you smile, and frowns when you frown. When given a large piece of brightly-colored cloth, the women will immediately tear it into dozens of small pieces, and reappear with their hair adorned with it, just as a western woman will bargain for a new nat. They are very susceptible to color, and invariably quarrel over trifles—such as stray pieces of cloth. If one woman is given a comb, and told how to use it, some weeks later her hair, although short, would put a beauty specialist to shame because of its improved appearance. She had undoubtedly combed her hair every available minute since receiving the comb. The quarrels among the men and women over the distribution of presents often ends disastrously, for one man along the northwest coast had both arms fractured, the result of a combat over the distribution of tobacco. One man had a frightful fracture of the right arm, which nad unitedbadly, the arm being grotesquely twisted. It was another case of "cherchez la femme," and was caused by the attack of an irate husband. It would take great pluck on the part of our womenfolk to adorn their bodies with the great cicatrices, or raised weals, which cover their brown-skinned sisters' bodies, in Australia. Despite the fact that they live a life where club rule is the dominant factor, the natives seem to derive more pleasure from their type of existence than the 1929 sophisticate derives from the ultra-modern age. Before she would consent to answer any questions about her business, she forced the interviewer to write the questions which she read. Then she said: "God sent you here, therefore, I will tell you the things you want to know. I am a mental healer and I practice mind therapeutics.

Verna Nash. is a remarkably beautiful dark-brown girl, the energetic, ambitious and intelligent member of an otherwise worthless and indigent family that lives in the worst shack in Billy Goat Lane in Norrisburg. She, of all the six Nash children is the only one that amounts to anything and wants to be somebody. Working as a maid for a rich white family, she sees around her all of the good things of life and resolves to have them for herself some day. Coming to realize the power of her irresistible sex magnetism, she feels sure of her ability to rise above her lowly station. Her mother wants her to marry Dick Colvin, an ungainly, uncultured laborer. She refuses him on several occasions. Dick takes Verna to the movies one evening and on the way home proposes to her again. She refuses him and, enraged, he forces her to kiss him. As she screams in his embrace, a man leaps from the darkness and knocks Dick out. Now Go On With the Story When Verna looked into the intruder's face, her first thought was "How handsome he is." He was tall, brown, immaculately dressed, unruffled, suave—apparently a gentleman. It thrilled Verna, who had never known the glamour of chivalry and romance, to have a young knight bound out of the darkness to her rescue. "Pardon me, young lady," he addressed her in resonant voice, rubbing his b.uised knuckles. "I hope I didn't do anything you didn't want done. I just saw that fellow annoying you and I was fresh enough to interfere." "Oh, thanks so much," the girl murmured softly, glancing at the fellow from under her long, silken lashes. "It's all right." With a groan, Dick Colvin sat up and rubbed his jaw and the back of his head, and then slowly rose. He looked around bewildered at first, and then noticing the stranger for the first time, he lurched toward him. "I'll get you, you . . ." he growled, swinging a mighty blow at the dapper intruder. The man stepped neatly aside. Dick's arm lashed the air futilely, he stumbled to one side and almost fell. The Lumbering Ninny "Look out, old fellow," said the stranger grinning, "you're liable to fall and hurt the other side of your jaw." Verna chuckled at Dick's discomfiture. He was such a lumbering ninny and this other fellow was so slick and quick. It was like a rhinoceros charging a tiger. Then she uttered a little sharp cry of dismay as she saw Dick, his face working with rage, advancing with an open knife. Dick had a bad reputation with a knife. In the frequent Saturday night brawls that enlivened things in Billy Goat Lan, he usually came out the victor. His acquaintances avoided quarrels with him when they knew he was armed with a blade. Now he moved toward the stranger doubled to a dangerous crouch, the knife blade glittering in the moonlight. "D—n you!" he growled, "I'll stop you from buttin' in where you ain't got no business." When he was almost upon the stranger, the man stepped back a pace, reached in the bosom of his coa' and withdrew a shining automatic revolver. Twirling it on his finger, he stood nonchalant but attentive, a grim, hard, cynical smile playing around his lips. Dick stopped in his tracks, clicked his knife shut, shoved it in his pocket and grinned sheepishly. "Well, brother. I guess youse th' best," he declared with a tone of finality, and bestowing a baleful glance upon Verna, turned and strode hurriedly away. "You'd better git away from here," she warned. "Dick's liable to come back here with his gang. He's a bad one he is." Humph! Why was she saying that? Was she being attracted to this stranger? She looked at his clean-cut features, accentuated by the moonlight, and her heart skipped a beat. Certainly he was handsome but there was something about his face, a certain expression of calculating hardness that warned her to be careful. After all, she might not be as safe with this man as she had been with Dick. Men were so funny. You could never tell about them. "My name is Donald Baxter," he said quietly, ignoring her warning, "Donald Baxter from Kalesburg. Just ran over to Norrisburg for a little rest and vacation. Awfully glad to be of service to you. I always say that a man has no business kissing a girl unless she wants him to do it. All caresses ought to be voluntary. I think. That's why I interfered when I saw you weren't approving of our friend's attentions." How nicely he spoke! Just like the Richlands. And how well dressed he was! Looking beyond him into the darkness, she saw the outline of a low rakish roadster. "That's my car." he said, looking down softly upon her wondrous brown CHAPTER II The Dangerous Step The Lumbering Ninny beauty. "Won't you let me drive you home?" Falls in Love "Well, I—I don't know," she replied hesitatingly. She hated to have him see Billy Goat Lane and the shack in which she was forced to live. Yet, with that keen feminine instinct which was greatly developed in her, "I'LL GET Y "With a groan Dick "I'LL GET YOU . . . .

She might never get another chance to become acquainted with a man so well dressed, so obviously cultured, so much of a gentleman, arh hence so desirable as a friend. "Please let me take you home. Verna," he pleaded. "You needn't be ashamed of Billy Goat Lane. You see I know where you live." "How do you know my name and so much about me?" she asked, consumed with curiosity, while her big, black eyes opened wonderingly. "Because I saw you the first night I came in town, fell head over heels in love with you, and just had to satisfy my curiosity." He noticed her SYNOPSIS ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 21, 1930 "With a groan Dick Colvin sat up and rubbed his jaw . . . then slowly rose."

He helped here hastened on, "Now don't get angry. I'm not going to get fresh. I just want to take you home; just want to know you and call you my friend.

Verna sank down in the soft cushions that luxuriously infolded her and gave herself up to the enjoyment of this. her first ride in a real automobile. without any makeup. It must be a gift." There was a ring of sincerity in his voice and his eyes reflected it. Verna hung her head coquettishly. It was nice to hear such things said about one's self when one had always been told by one's mother that one was absolutely nothing. How jealous the girls would be when they saw her keeping company with Donald Baxter! "Sure, you can drive me home," he agreed resolutely. He might get resh and want a kiss or two, she thought, but—well, he was her ideal of what a fellow should be. Donald smiled broadly and led Donald chuckled to himself as he drove. What a swell chicken, he murmured to himself, glancing sidewise at her. For a week now he had been watching her, hoping that some way would be found to strike up an acquaintance. The events of the evening had seemingly been made to order for him. Now, everything would be clear sailing. What simple little country girl could resist the blandishments of the famous Don Baxter, bootlegger and gambier extraordinary? He smiled sardonically and sent the speedometer up to sixty in his moment of exhilaration. Don Makes Violent Love About way, they came 3 to Billy Goat Lane. Don brought the car to a stop with a lurch and helped Verna out. The moon was hopelessly buried in a bank of clouds now, and the night was very dark. The girl started uneasily when Don's steely grip closed around her wrist. She could feel the intensity of his gaze upon her and her heart beat quickened. Was she to have another adventure this evening? Was she to escape one man only to be annoyed by another? She shrank protestingly. Don was quick to notice it and loosened his grip. For a moment he had forgotten himself. "Don't be frightened. Verna," he said in a simulated hurt tone. "I'm not a roughneck, you know." "I'm not frightened," she laughed. He seemed so in earnest that she wanted to kiss him, but, of course, she didn't dare. "See you tomorrow, then," she said, and ran into the house. He looked after her hungrily. Then he caught himself and smiled. What a fool he was, losing his head over a pretty little country girl who probably didn't have sense enough to come in out of the rain. And yet, it was so hard to resist her. What a gem she was! How jealous his friends in Kalesburg would be if he brought back such a beauty to add to his string! He lit a cigarette, leisurely settled himself behind the steering wheel, and drove slowly down the highway. Trembling with excitement, Verna lay in bed thinking of the evening's happenings. To have a knight come to one's rescue; to speed over the boulevards in a powerful motor car; to be in the company of a gentleman of wealth and culture who did not try to force a girl to kiss him but was willing to respect, her by biding his time—what an adventure! The next night Don called for Verna at the Richland's back door just when she was about to leave for home. She was surprised and pleasurably so, especially since she noticed Miss Anne Richland looking out of the back bedroom window. Verna tossed her head proudly and stepped into the roadster. It was every whit as expensive as the Richland's car, and she was glad to let them see that some Negroes had just as good things as some white folk. After that first evening, Don was a persistent suitor. Every night his car was at the Richland's back door. Every night he took her driving, to a dance, or to a moving picture. He spent money like water, according to the small town standards of Norrisburg, and that impressed the colored girls of the town more than anything else. They marvelled how Verna had captured him, and tried hard to flirt with him themselves. They soon found it was useless, however, because Don couldn't see anyone but Verna. He often laughed softly to hmself when he was alone and thought of the innocent-appearing part he was playing. He, Donald Baxter, the man with a score of sweethearts, playing the part of the lovesick youth! It was indeed laughable. True, he liked Verna, and was willing to go to great lengths to win her affection, but he was not thinking of giving her his name. His attentions were not very honorable. He was willing to be a good pal, but not a husband. Why should he marry, he often asked his friends, and tie himself down to one woman, when there were so many he could have, just for the asking? Verna Is Cynical He was just here in Norrisburg until things quieted down in Kalesburg. Prohibition officers and the uplift folk had forced him to suspend his operations for a while and he had come to this little town as a safe haven. With plenty of money, plenty of clothes, an expensive car, a lively imagination and a capacity for a good time at all times, he could think of nothine better than utilizing his vacation to play at love. But as the days grew into weeks, weeks of heavenly pleasure in the charming Verna's company, he began to really fall in love with her.

Spending my vacation at a place called Eagle Rest, in the Shenandoah Valley. I became acquainted with two very interesting men—Ralph Miles, a feature writer for a syndicate of Negro newspapers, and Hubert Holcomb, former crack member of the Chicago Police Department. Naturally, since crime detection is much more interesting than the selling game, or feature writing, our conversations would always drift around to criminals and crime. He, Miles and I began to meet on the north veranda evenings, a seldom used part of the little hotel, there to listen to Holcomb's versions of the Carlisle Murder Case, the Simmons Murder Case, the Mitchell Murder Case, the Collins Murder Case, and the Griffin Murder Case—all of which I shall in due time record for you in these columns. Briefly, the first part of Holcomb's experience with the Carlisles was thus: One cold January morning some years ago, Mrs. Jasper Carlisle, wealthy, about forty-nine years old, the wife of one of the wealthiest Negroes in and about South Parkway at the time, called at headquarters and sought out the Missing Persons Bureau—where she suddenly broke into tears and stated that her husband had disappeared. He was last seen by their chauffeur when he put him on the sidewalk in the downtown section about four o'clock the preceding evening. Hubert Holcomb was given this case. As a first step he decided to call on Mrs. Carlisle and arrived at her luxurious apartment about two hours after her dismissal at headquarters. He found her dead—sprawled on her own living-room floor in a pool of blood; a gash at her temple, and a heavy metal book end on the floor beside her, bloody! NOW FINISH THE STORY After teiling Miles and me about the body he had found sprawled on the floor, Holcomb had lapsed into a dramatic silence. But now he stirred, discarded his pipe, and plunged into the narration again I say "plunged" because I commenced to see . . . Holcomb suddenly lifted his eyes from the lifeless body of the woman and swung around toward the door. He had become aware of a faint movement. Automatic in hand, he listened and was drawn toward what appeared to be a coat closet. As he neared it, the movement grew more distinct, and the door itself began to open slowly — then suddenly it swung entirely open! Holcomb stopped and frowned. A man — a little brown-skinned man — stood half stooped, with his hands caressing his forehead and terror in his reddened eyes. "Who are you?" Holcomb spat the words. The man seemed to suddenly jerk himself from out of a trance. Without uttering a word, he immediately passed the detective into the living room and fell heavily upon the woman's body, weeping and pounding the floor madly. "The dog!" he groaned. "... the dirty dog! Oh, Annie — Oh, God, Annie — if you'd only stayed away a little longer!" For a minute Holcomb just stood there and pitied the poor devil. He had to. He then started a series of questions — and it was one sorry story!

Holcomb waited in silence. "I left my club about ten o'clock" he started afresh, "and was standing on Indiana Avenue waiting for a taxi — our chauffeur goes off around eight — when suddenly a car drew swiftly up and stopped directly in front of me. As quick as a flash, a tall man, his hat pulled low over his eyes, his hands stuffed into his overcoat pockets, got to the sidewalk and whispered gruffly, 'You're covered, see? Get into the car. Squawk an' I'll drill you. Move!' "I got into the car to save my life. As soon as the door slammed, it shot forward and at least three men proceeded to bind and gag me, cursing and threatening me all the while." "Where did they take you?" Holcomb questioned impatiently. "Which direction did they take?" "I don't know," Carlisle said, "—I'll never know, because the dogs chloroformed me! The next thing I remember I was sitting in a poorly-furnished, ugly room, bound to a squeaky chair, with the three cutthroats pacing the floor in front of me, whispering among themselves, smoking cigarettes, and cutting at me with malicious glances three brown-skinned men, they were, with the mark of the underworld upon their faces."

Carlisle remained silent for a minute, then went on ironically: "One of the dogs," he said, "— apparently the leader, made their position clear. They wanted money — lots of it — at least five thousand. When I refused, he cursed me, threatened, vowed to stuff my body into a gunny sack and toss it into the Lake. And I believe he would have." Carlisle suddenly staggered to his feet and, avoiding the body on the floor, crossed the room to the massive library table. From a drawer he took something, then recrossed the room and handed it to Holcomb. "If I could have gotten to it!" he said grimly. It was a little Colt automatic.

His body drooped even further forward; his feet twitched nervously upon the carpet; his fingers stiffened and relaxed like a man itching for blood. Inaudible curses escaped his lips.

Few of us who saw him in, "Kit Carson," will ever forget the lovable colored lad who, by feats of magic, wins over a tribe of Indians and becomes chief of the tribe in time to come to Fred Thomson's rescue with his band of warriors. Such intelligent and human characterizations have made him a credit to his race. Just when his career had really begun, he was stricken with ptomaine poisoning and was removed to a hospital, where it was found that his entire system was overrun with the poison. He remained flat on his back for many months; too weak to move; hovering between life and death. His many new found friends that were acquired simultaneously with his fame suddenly disappeared. Too Proud for Charity The money that he had lavished on these so-called friends would have stood him in good stead at this time for while he was in the hospital he lost his car and most of his possessions through these self-same friends.

The Woman's Tonic ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 21, 1930 THE MASTER OF THE WORLD From Left to Right—Raymond Turner, Lawford Davidson, Richard Barthelmess as the three appeared in "The Patent Leather Kid," one of Barthelmess's greatest starring successes. Fortune-Teller to The "400" He was too proud to ask for assistance from any of the stars or other friends on the studio lots, such as Mr. Rockett. He did not even let them know that he was sick. When they called at his old address there was no response, and they wondered what had happened to him. Ate Left-Over Food When he was finally discharged from the hospital, he was almost too weak to stand. Everything of value that he had owned was either sold or in pawn, including his clothes. The shabby suit he wore when released from the sick ward represented his entire wardrobe. After his past glowing successes, his pride would not permit him to make the rounds of the studios and ask for a job. He doubted whether he would even be recognized in his present condition. He decided that he would stay until he could get together a few clothes and at least make a presentable appearance. A job as janitor in an apartment house was found and Raymond, still weak and sick, started on an endless nightmare of heavy lifting, emptying garbage pails, and almost everything that a fellow in his emaciated condition should not do. Tenants of the place would offer him food left over from their own cooking and he would swallow his pride and choke down the food, meanwhile wondering why his em- (Continued from Page Two) "Recently I have observed some unusual appearance of stars in the heavens and this indicates confusion. There is so much wickedness in the world that terrible disasters will come unless the people reform. Everybody is seeking the almighty dollar." At this point a woman came up who had lost $10 which she thought had been stolen by some roomers. She told Mrs. Horton she wanted to know whether her money was stolen, and Mrs. Horton said: "I can not tell you who stole it, but I can tell you who you think stole it. You have two men roomers. One left the house by the back door, the other by the front door. The one you think stole the money left by the front door. You are probably right." It seems that Mrs. Horton was right. The visitor paid Mrs. Horton one dollar and left her presence satisfied. In a few minutes an enfeebled and aged colored woman came in, looking the picture of despair. She said: "Honey, I'm distressed. I'm sick and the doctor's medicine fixes me worse. I know you can tell me what's the matter." Mrs. Horton said: "My dear, you are scared. You have enemies you think are dangerous. You fear they may kill you. Now, the first thing for you to do is to remove to some other part of the city among strangers." "Yes," said the visitor, "I will go ployer would only pay twice a month. That first pay-day seemed to be as far away as the next Christmas. He is still not quite sure just how he ever managed to stick it out for the first two weeks. A picture in which he had had a prominent part the year before had been held for a late release and was not shown until the year after it had been made. One day, while emptying garbage pails and putting new paper in them, Raymond, still feeble and nauseated by his unpleasant task, saw his picture on a page of the paper that he was about to line the inside of a pail with. "Ray's" Philosophy Slowly he unfolded it and with weak, shaking fingers he spread it flat against the wall and read a glowing tribute to his acting. He was acclaimed as a superb artist! His head raised a trifle higher; his shoulders squared a bit more; he stood a little more erect. As he told me later: "A little bit of encouragement to a man who is down can sure make him keep going, even if it comes out of a garbage pail." Landed by Al Jolson Because of keeping his whereabouts a secret, Raymond had lost several good parts that he could have had if anyone cn the lot had known where to get in touch with him. After about his third pay-day at the apartment right home now and move." Mrs. Horton then told the old woman that she must not eat heavy foods, but should choose a diet that could be easily digested. Some exercise in walking must be done, but a woman her age must not overexert herself. The lady paid Mrs. Horton two dollars and left her house in a cheerful mood. Among other things which Mrs. Horton said to the old lady were: "Dear, these enemies you have may not be enemies. Didn't you get the impression that these folks did not like you before you said anything to them?" "Yes," said the woman. "Well," Mrs. Horton went on to say, "You see most of our hurtful enemies exist in our own minds. We are mentally sick. Go home, dear, and forget everything that hurts your feelings. Think of the things that give you pleasure. "Work hard at the job you like to do. Don't visit anybody unless it is someone that you like. Now you try my medicine for two weeks and come back." The old woman came in bent over leaning on a stick. She left walking uprightly and had thrown her stick away. Mrs. Horton said she had traveled with wealthy white families, not as a maid but as mental therapeutist. She said she has no prejudice on account of race but is happy to be a full-blooded Negro. She is copper-colored, has large eyes that melt one. How to Be Beautiful By GERALDINE FOX Frost on a window pane means that outside, the atmosphere is cold. It is a warning signal to prepare and take precaution against that cold. Boils, as they come on the human body, are also a warning. They tell you just as plainly as a red flag or as the frost on the window pane that something has gone wrong on the inside and that you should take steps to correct it. Boils come from impurities in the house, he appeared with a natty new suit and looking very much like the prosperous young fellow of a year ago except for a certain thinness that was very evident. He went to work shortly after his reappearance, due partly to the fact that his performance in the recently released picture was still fresh in the minds of those who had seen it. After a few ordinary "program" pictures, he landed a part with Rockett again, and when Al learned what he had gon' through without letting him know he was furious. A couple of pictures on the Fox lot helped to put him more firmly on his feet and replenish his meager wardrobe. Immediately after doing these pictures, he was signed to support Al Jolson in "Big Boy." He was a "WOW." Even Jolson, who is notorious for claiming all of the spotlight, lauded his acting highly. Warner Brothers were thinking of signing him to a time contract but didn't think fast enough, for the Fox people brought him back to their lot in the meantime. A Success at Twenty-six At the age of twenty-six, Raymond is well up the ladder of fame after surmounting obstacles that would have discouraged most of us. He had a dream—plugged away at it and even starved till he made it come true. Few men could cling to a course of action so tenaciously. The fulfillment of this dream holds a prophecy for you and for me. No matter what our stations in life may be, if we aspire to great things and "stick to our guns" with a singleness of purpose we can win through. Jus' as the little farm boy in New Mexico dreamed and planned, practicing acting before a cracked mirror; just as he had the courage to start out alone, almost penniless for an unknown city to fulfill his dream—just so can you and I "hitch our wagons to a star" and succeed in our chosen fields. I believe "Ray" deserves a bit of commendation for his pluckiness. If you do—well, his address is Fox Studios, Hollywood, California. White while you sleep!

He took her petals-smooth brown hand and stroked it gently. "Is it love, Don," said Verna, half amused, "or is it just passion?" "It's love, Verna." "How do I know you're telling the truth. All of you men say that." "But all men aren't alike, Verna." "Oh, No-o-o? Weli, there might be a difference in the way they work, but they're all looking for the same thing." "You're too young to be so hard, my dear." "Well, I don't think so. You can't ever be too young to know what it's all about." "But Verna," Don expostulated, "I'm really sincere. It would give me more pleasure than anything I know if you would let me be your friend." "Aren't we already friends, Don?" "Oh, you know what I mean!" "I heard what you said." "Now, Honey, don't be like that. I've been pretty nice to you, haven't I?" "Do you want me to give you credit for that? I thought you were naturally polite." "Of course I'm naturally polite, you silly girl, but still a young fellow like me expects a girl to give him a break when he's been real nice." That's the latest thing in dishes—colored table glassware. Society women are using this now from first-course dishes to those served last. This glassware comes in many shades—topaz, amber, rose, green and azure, and may be used with all dishes of one shade, or in various combinations of color. With colored glassware, comes colored linens, candles, fruits, flowers—everything is in color. Even the salads are taking unto themselves a great deal of color, and desserts are being prepared that glisten in red, green and even gold. The day of color is with us. The day of plain white linen and simple white dishes, with or without a faint band or pattern, seems to be passing. Of course, one sees such things yet, but more and more one comes across the colored glassware, colored linen, colored bath-rooms, colored vases, colored automobiles, oh, it seems that almost everything is running to color. First thing we know our men will be prancing down Main Street with red flannel trousers, a sky-blue coat, and a necktie containing all the colors of the rainbow and a lot that the rainbow never thought of. WILLIAM H. MRS. AMANDA GOODSON Route No. 2, Box 21, Autaugaville, Alabama "Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I suffered from pains in my back and sides. I was nervous, ached all over and had to stay in bed for days at a time. A friend told me about the Compound. As soon as I took the first bottle I began to feel like a new woman. It has improved my health greatly. I am glad of the honor to recommend it to every woman." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 21, 1930 "Just what do you mean?" "Is it necessary to go into details?" "Well, you had ought to make yourself clear. I'm no mind reader, you know." Don "Stalled off" Verna loved to match wits with men. It gave her a thrill to know that she could hold them at a distance. Let them come just so close and no closer. She felt that she could not afford to go too far with Donald Baxter. There was a certain something about her that warned her to be on her guard. Nevertheless she was not unaware of her station in life and the exalted position in the social scheme to which she aspired. Contact with Don might help her to get those things, so she did not want to exasperate him too much. Don was not far from being exasperated. His desire for Verna grew by the minute and yet, in spite of all he did to make her happy, she held him at arms' length. "I'm getting sick of being stalled off," he grumbled. "Here I've been knowing you for over three weeks and you've been too stingy to even let me have a kiss. How long do you think I would have to drive these other girls around before they would do me that little favor?" "Are you comparing me with the other girls in this town?" she queried archly. "I thought you said I was in a class by myself?" "Of course you are, Honey," he hastened to assure her. "And I wouldn't think of comparing you with the other girls, but I just want you to know that I think you've been ungrateful." Verna saw that she had probably overplaved her hand. While she was confident that her beauty and charm would hold Don or any other man, she also knew, almost instinctively, that even the most ardent lovers throw up the sponge if they are not encouraged. "Don't be silly, old pal," she cooed, placing her dainty brown hand on his shoulder. "If you knew how much I really cared for you, you wouldn't worry at all. I'm not as ungrateful as you think I am; but a girl's got to be careful, you know." Don brightened visibly. After all, perhaps, Verna was a "regular fellow."

You have no business slaving your life away in the white folks' kitchen when I can give you everything you want. Don't be a fool; let me help you." "Maybe I might—some time." she said quietly, nestling a bit closer. "but you're still not going into details. Don. I suppose you want me to go back to Kalesburg with you. don't you?" "We-ell, yes." Don admitted. "Yes, and what then. You tell me how much you are going to give me and how good you're going to be to me, but you haven't explained anything. I may be living in a dirty shack here in Norrisburg but at least I'm honest. Don, and can look the world in the face." Verna. the Dare-devil "Who asked you not to be honest?" he blustered. He had a sudden thought and inspiration. "I'm going to offer you a good job in my cabaret in Norrisburg. All you'll have to is to act as hostess, wear fine clothes and be nice to the customers. So you see you'll be making your own money and I won't bother you unless you permit me. If that isn't a fair proposition I don't know one when I see it." Verna's eyes glistened. Here WAS the real opportunity she had been looking for: a chance to get out of by WALTER GLASTON the dirt and squalor of Billy Goat Lane without compromising herself. She wanted so much to get ahead, to amount to something, and here was a way out. She felt confident that she could take care of herself. Besides, she was convinced that Don was sincere. "I'll take you on that," she said firmly and simply. "When?" he asked, with strangely mingled feeling of joy and triumph. "Will you go now? I'll get all of the things you need and you needn't bother about that two or three dollars that the Richlands owe you. That's merely chicken feed. Tell me, will you go now?" Verna hesitated and pondered. It was a dangerous step she was taking, and yet what hope was there for her in Norrisburg? What could a girl—especially a colored one—amount to there? How could she ever have the pretty things she wanted to set off her beauty just by working as a maid or a cook? The old dare-devil spirit that had distinguished her from the other girls since she was able to walk, now surged within her. She had nothing to lose, she felt, and a great dee to gain. Turning to Don, she announced smilingly, "All right, big boy. I'm game." Don could almost have shouted with glee. He turned to start the car, and there beside it, looking grim and determined, was Dick Colvin. (To be continued next week) EMA?

I was wondering if they would swallow my bait. I wondered an hour. Then one of the cutthroats produced a pack of cards. They were shuffled then slapped on a chair. They began to draw, one by one until the shortest one cursed and flung his card to the floor. It was the ace of spades. "They had swallowed my bait. I was blindfolded, manhandled down four flights of stairs, a gun poked into my ribs, then hustled across the sidewalk and into a car, which lurched forward at once. My captor — the one who had drawn the ace of spades — pressed close to me and said, 'If y' think you're goin' t' put over anything smart you're as good as dead! I'll gut you sure...'" "I promised to produce." "When the boat stops you hop out an' go up the fire escape — get that?" "An' if y' try anything crooked ... he pressed the gun to my side. "The rest you can guess," Carlisle went or doggedly. "Things didn't work out as I thought. Mrs. Carlisle was not here when I let the crook and myself in the back door — for which I secretly thanked God. But it was not to last. We had only gained the living room entrance there when the elevator door outside clanged shut. It took only a second more for my wife to insert her key into the lock — at which dog forced me behind the screen over there, threatening instant death." Carlisle commenced to list forward again. "The rest," he said weakly. "I am too utterly wretched to tell in detail. My wife discovered us somehow. Before she could scream, the rat downed her with that thing on the floor. I went blind with rage and dashed for the table. That's all I know — except that something caught me on the chin." Really, the Carlisle murder yarn was getting so good at this point that I could almost see Carlisle sitting there in the chair, with his wife, dead, sprawled on the floor before him, telling this sorry tale to the man who was now passing it on to us.

And then, with the exception of the red glow that marked his pipe bowl, everything was semi-black again. "It was the rawest case I had ever investigated." Holcomb declared. "I called headquarters, then took Carlisle by the arm and assisted him into one of the bedrooms, where he fell heavily upon the bed, wretched beyond words apparently. He was like a man upon his death bed weak, speechless now. "Expensively furnished, this chamber — massive mahogany; a great four-poster bedstead, a chiffonier, and a huge dresser, its mirror extra large. Between it and the door leading into the hall I walked to and fro restlessly — a habit of mine, scratching the high spots of Carlisle's story on my pad. My chief would show up pretty soon, you see. "And yet each time I passed by the foot of the bed my eyes were drawn to the wretched man sprawled across it. His face was buried in the linen, his fists clenched, his legs stiff, as if paralyzed . . . I pitied the poor devil." Holcomb crossed his heavy legs and hurled a question at us. "Have either of you gentlemen, he asked, "ever bet on a horse and lost?" "Yes," I said; "but what has that got to do with . . . ?" "So have I," Miles cut in "... and it's sure one funny feeling!" "Funny, eh? Well I'll go you one, Holcomb countered. "On one of my trips toward Carlisle's mirror, I felt suddenly funnier; I felt — what do they call it? — flabbergasted! "I'm telling you that when I happened to glance into the mirror above Carlisle's dresser, I received a genuine shock! I had passed the foot of the bed, you see, and was about three feet from the dresser, with my back to Carlisle, when something within me suddenly stiffened, though I managed not to reveal my discovery by action or gesture. I even managed to make another trip to the door, turn, then approach the mirror again — and my discovery was still there!" "I saw one of Carlisle's eyes in the mirror; the reflection of an eye half hidden behind a wrinkle in the linen. Remember, Carlisle was lying upon his stomach. But for the fact that he was several feet lower than the bottom of the mirror, he must have seen too — hid his face altogether. As it was, he couldn't see higher than my knees! "Now, it wasn't the kind of an eye one would expect to find on the face of a man who had just witnessed the murder of his wife.

A sign that you need to give yourself and your blood stream prompt attention. This is an entirely easy matter. Simply stop eating.

Drink a great deal of orange juice and also about twice as much water as you have been drinking during the course of the day. This sort of treatment cleans out the blood from the inside and so takes away the poison that is coming traced to the City Ticket Office tickets for a through trip to New York on one of the fastest trains out of Chicago. A clerk from that office swore that Carlisle was the purchaser, and that he had also inquired about the Cumard service out of New York for London." "Another woman, eh?" -- from Miles "Dunno." Holcomb said. "We couldn't blast it out of him. But on the same day Carlisle was sentenced to the chair, a young woman in D3-troit committed suicide, and the papers tried to connect it with the case—but her family made it so hot that they had squash it!" The three of us, Holcomb, Miles and I, got to our feet and stretched ourselves. "Some men," Holcomb mused half to himself, as we sauntered along the veranda toward the main entrance, "go to the chair with a prayer upon their lips; some go limp, like a dish rag; some even smile and bum a cigarette — but Carlisle went like a Bluebeard."

One Montana woman lost 19 pounds of fat in 4 weeks and feels better than she has for years. I became more and more convinced of this every time I approached the mirror, it was the eye of a crafty gambler who bets large sums, then, if the game drags, commences to fret over the outcome. In other words, I became convinced that something was on Carlisle's mind other than crooks and corpses. "And that wasn't all! It seemed to me that the closer I got to the dresser the more fire, the more concern, the more amazement, the more unnessiness was reflected in that eye. As an experiment, I commenced to let my steps carry me closer to the dresser — and the eye fairly blazed! "As an officer of the law, gentlemen, it was my duty to follow up every clue; yet, I must admit that what followed was partly inspired by the personal equation. According to that half-hidden eye, I had been made an ass of, do you see; and now I wanted revenge, though, of course this was secondary in importance to my duty. "Anyway, on one of my trips back toward the door, I decided to take a very, very long chance. A man who had the reputation I had has to be careful, gentlemen. But I took the chance. At the door, with my revolver drawn, I swung around suddenly and said quietly: 'Jasper Carlisle, I arrest you for the murder of your wife! I warn you that anything you may say will be used against you!' "At first Carlisle didn't move; yet I sensed a sudden rigidness; something that hinted at fibre suddenly drawn taut. Then he scrambled up off the bed suddenly and almost screamed. 'You lie! You lie! You lie!' "But guilt was upon the man's face, gentlemen, and, keeping him covered, I repeated, 'Jasper . . . Carlisle . . . I . . . arrest . . . you . . . for . . . the . . . murder . . . of . . . your . . . wife!" "And so that marked the end of Carlisle. That night he spent in a cell." * * * * "Very extraordinary!" Miles exclaimed when Holcomb stopped taking; "but do you mean to imply that Carlisle actually planned the whole thing?" "From A to Z," Holcomb said. "Why, at his trial — and also the coroner's inquest — it was brought out that he had been converting his assets into cash for six months. I found all but one thousand dollars of it in a hole in the wall behind the heavy dresser." "But the motive?" I interrupted. "Along with the cash," Holcomb said, "we found two tickets in an envelope stamped for Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Whittier. These were later SPIRITUALISTS The short cut to Regeneration through Fasting.
