PHILADELPHIAN BACKS PRO TEST OF NEGRO GOLD STAR MOTHERS New York, June—John Mott Drew, business man of Philadelphia, who has been helping colored Gold Star Mothers in their protest against Jim Crow accommodations on the pilgrimage to European war graves, visited the National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People this week to leave copies of some of the letters which colored Gold Star Mothers have written the War Department and President Hoover. The N. A. A. C. P. makes public the following extracts from those letters: Mrs. Rosa Reed, Bryn Mawr, Pa.: "My going on such a pilgrimage would be an insult to my dead son who gave his life for his country's cause." Mrs. Mabel Johnson: "Despite my intense desire to visit the grave of my beloved husband, I should feel that I would be offering an insult to his memory and the great sacrifice that he has made for his country and his race if I were to accept such a Jim Crow invitation." Mrs. Emma Houston, Philadelphia: "As a Gold Star Mother I earnestly protest the insult to the living as a wanton and unnecessary act." Mrs. Carrie G. Brown, Eatonton, Ga.: "The segregation of Gold Star Mothers on our trip to our sons' graves is what I should call a shame on the U. S. Government. . . . It's enough to go there to see the loss of my son with a weeping heart, then the segregation combined is dreadful." Mrs. Lawrence Baylor, Bowling Green, Va.: "I firmly protest against segregation being lade in such a cause as this and I shall do all I can to prohit it." Mrs. Sallie Shockley, Sparta, Tenn.: "Why will our great President Widows the God Star Mothers Widows whose heart led to be segregated when they go to the graves of their dear ones when the difference is only in the color of the skin? . . . I sincerely protest DIXIE FLYING CIRCUS HERE FOR 3 DAYS. The Dixie Flying Circus comes to Richmond July 4, 5, and 6, under the auspices of Williams Lodge of Elks and give flying exhibitions and carry passengers on air trips that will be staged from the Charles aviation field and a big river Richmond these days. The crowd is anicipated. The Plane interested itself in securing an aviation school here for our colored boys and these exhibitions are aimed to develop an interest in aviation. A school of aviation will be jots. The first class is being organ established here to train licensed pilots, and those interested can get in touch with the Planet. HEMPSTEAD NEGROES PRO TEST RAID BY NASSAU COUNTY DETECTIVES New York, June.—Alleging that their homes had only invaded without search warrants and them selves and their families subjected to personal physical examination illegally by county detectives from Mineola in plain clothes accompanied by Hempstead police, colored citizens of Hempstead, Long Island, last Wednesday night held a protest meeting in Union Baptist Church and engaged an attorney to present their case to Elvin N. Edwards, District Attorney of Nassau County. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, states that Frank M. Turner, of its national staff and eight members of the Nassau branch attended the Hempstead meeting of three hundred Negroes and that twenty-nine of their homes and persons, including clergymen and a leader of the local Republican club. Colored people allege that the county detectives rushed into houses, pulling bed clothes from sleepers and ordering all persons to hold up their hands. Efforts will be made to identify and prosecute the county detectives and police officers. The alleged occasion for the illegal assault that the officers were "looking for a man who had killed someone in New Jersey." The alleged slayer was not found by the officers.

He is seeking to collect from W. Sydney Campbell, producer of "Ingrani." this insult to the living as an unnecessary act of injustice." Mrs. Clara B. Taylor, Sedalia, Mo.: "We as a race have too much pride, too much respect for those who have men now lying beneath the sod or noble France, to dishonr them by accusing them of being a joke of America's inhumanity and ingratitude. I am writing in memory of my husband who gave his life in defense ROBESON CLIPPINGS F R O M ENGLAND REACH N. A. A. C. P. NATIONAL OFFICE New York, June 20.—Clippings recounting in full the sensational triumph in Londonof Paul Robeson in the part of Shakespeare's "Othelfo." and containing laudatory reviews of the life of Mr. Robeson written by his wife, have no reached the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from England. The space given Mr. Robeson in the English press and the ornth of the eulogies are extraordinary. The Morning Post, one of London's most influential and conservative dailies devotes an entire page to photographs of the production and in addition to a highly laudatory review of the performance publishes an editorial entitled "Ole Man Othello," which begins as follows: "Last night Mr. Paul Robeson played Othello and the occasion was one of considerable artistic interest. The interest, however, was due to the fact, not that Mr. Robeson is a man of color and that Shakespeare gave to Othello many characteristics that belong rather to a Negro than to a Moor, but to the fact that Mr. Robeson, very great artist in his own behalf as singer and actor has been remarkable; and the interest lay in some further discovery of his remarkable points." In its review the Morning Post called Mr. Robeson's performance a noble one "much finer in many respects than in one's sinestest moments of admiration one had expected," and said it was received with "tumultuous applause." The well known dramatist and author St. John Ervine, reviewing the life of Mr. Robeson, published as "Paul Robeson: Negro," by Eslanda Goode Robeson, says in part: "He stands for his race. And how well he stands for it. This tall, magnificently-made man with the beautiful singing voice, who is at once a man of distinguished intelligence and a great athlete, is a testimony to the quality that is in the Negro race and is likely, in time, to become commoner. . . . His story, as told by his wife, reveals an unaffected man, unspoiled by his popularity and success, and it causes the reader to understand the liking which has been felt for him by a great diversity of persons." Other press comments briefly excerpted by the N. A. A. C. P., are as follows: Manchester Sunday Chronicle: "Here is a vivid, sweeping and, at times, almost awe-inspiring picture of the Moor." Daily Express: "Shakespeare's lines have never been uttered with more force or with a greater sonorousness." Daily Chronicle: "As the tragedy unrolled to its thunderous climax the actor seemed to grow in power with it. In his wrath he was terrific; in his remorse, most noble." The Times: "Mr. Robeson plays in the grand style those scenes which will yield their full effect to no other style." Daily Telegraph: "Mr. Robeson has a fine presence, a beautiful voice, which gives the poetry its best quality, and conveys the sense of nobility." Morning Advertiser: "The most emphatic personal triumph that Mr. Robeson has won in this country—and that is saying a great deal—was his last evening at the Savoy Theatre, when he made his first appearance as Othello." Manchester Guardian: "That Mr. Robeson is a colored actor is neither here nor there, that he is an actor of immense emotional strength and with a voice of beautiful quality as well as of gigantic volume is what matters." Maitland Davidson reviewing life of Mr. Robeson in Daily Telegraph: "This moving biography seems to sum up all the pathos, all the lightfully child-like humor, the genius and the limitations, the patient submission, and the fierce resentments of the Negro race." New York, une.—The Readers Digest for June, 1930, has reprinted from The World Tomorrow for April, an article by William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, entitled "The Death Detail." It is a story of what goes on behind the curtain of secretion of the execution of thirteen black soldiers of the 24th Infantry for their part in the "Houston Riot" of 1917. RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1930 ITS YOUR MOVE BY JOE SIMPSON On Thursday afternoon or last week a 14-year-old Negro high school girl was severely beaten by A. L. Moore, parkkeeper in Monroe Park in Richmond. Moore, as it is commonly known, was placed in the park for the protection of citizens and their children, and to keep those who would over-sleep the bounds of propriety within the limits of common decency. That he was to act as a Negro antagonist is a fact that has hitherto been unknown to Negroes and the better class or white people. It is also shown by the white dames or Richmond, that they consider a crime perpetrated by a white man upon a Negro as about the same importance as it had been committed against a cur dog; this is evidenced by the fact that they do not prince an account or suen happenings. It is easier to secure a warrant, a white man when he has beaten a cur dog than it is to secure one when he has beaten a gerrensess Negro school girl. The white dames are forever narping about the pleasant relations existing between the races in kichmond, out when something of this nature bobs up they are as silent as the sphynx. The reasoning of their editors seems to run thus: a Negro smiles at a white woman, that's NEWS. If a white man beats up a Negro, that's not news. It is natural for a white man to insult or beat up a Negro. The Negroes in kichmond in the present case should go down in their pockets and bring out the wherewitnal to bring this man to justice and see to it hat he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If this is not done, it will be unsafe for our mothers, wives, sisters or daughters to walk the streets of kichmond. Sad but true is the fact that Negro women have been from time immemorial, subject to numerous insults and indecent proposals from white men in the course of their duties to their homes and the service of their employers. The time therefore, must not come when they will be forced to yield to these contemp-ible demands or suffer brutal treatment at the hands of white men without any course of redress. If we fail to demand reparation for this wrong, and let this man go unpunished, we might as well prepare for the worst, for if he gets away with what he has done, the next one will get by with one greater; continuing thus, no one is able to predict as to what sad proportions this ad condition will eventually grow. If we fail to do our duty in this instance we must appropriately label ourselves the "spineless Negroes of Richmond," and consider ourselves as not being worth the space we cover on earth. You are not exhorted to get a gun, club, brick or knife you are urged to sacrifice a dollar to lend your influence to this cause in which your freedom and independence is at stake. You will not have to fight, let your dollar fight for you; you must remember that money is of not value to a slave, and that you can spend no money in hell. MOORFIELD STOREY P A M.

An attitude of fairness on the part of the hite soldiers toward the Negro soldiers is shown throughout the vivid narrative. GREETINGS TO CONFERENCE NEGRO AID BODY Springfield, Mass., June 26.—Messages of greeting from ex-President Calvin Coolidge, and Vice-President Charles Curtis to the 21st Annual Conference here of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now in session here, were read at last night's opening mass meeting, following official welcome to the conference delivered by William S.

WORK New York, June—Widespread editorial comment extending from coast to coast throughout the country is greeting the achievements of national Association of Council People. Advancement of Council People. Clippings reaching the National Office, 69th Avenue, reveal that the N. A. P. has its staunch champions and defenders among white editors, as well as its violent critics, the latter quietly in the South. The Everett, ashington, Herald, one of the leading daines on the Pacific Coast sharply defends the N. A. A. C. P. for its encouragement of the protest against segregation by Negro Gold Star Mothers on the pilgrimage to European war graves. The herald joins issue with the Columbia record which denies the tortorials to colonize the N. A. A. C. C. of the War Mothers and the Judge Parker episodes, and concludes its editorial as follows: "The Record and the News and Courter to the contrary notwithstanding, self-respecting Negroes the country over and white people who are tree in spirit and in truth, stand back of the Nationa Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its right against inconsistency, and assure the Colored Gold Star Mothers, who place a race's honor above self-gratification, that their actions speak louder as a vindication sons' martyrdom for democracy than anything else they might have done. Long A. A. C. P.! Long Heywood Broun! Long Walter White! Long live the N. A. C. A. P.! Long live Negroes who wont give up! Don't pity the Gold Star Mothers; all honor to their abnegation." Extracts from southern editorials in white dailies commenting on the N. A. A. C. P. are as follows: Bainbridge, Ga., Light: "The southern senators that opposed the confirmation of udge Parker ought to feel proud to get the best of the Advancement of the Colored Race who opposed his appointment." Columbus, Ga., Enquirer-Sun: "The pilgrimage is a sacred one, but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is trying to make it a political and social one." Macon, Ga., Telegraph: "If the Association were sincere in its solicitude for the mothers, it would recognize that segregation will make them happier." Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch: "In its recent activities the National Association for the Advancement of Coored People has acted in such a manner as to belie its name. . . . This Association in the Parker fight, fianced the entire South on ground no more solid than a political speech delivered under peculiar circumstances, soo. . . . In the matter of the Negro Gold Star Mothers the Association obviously has gone out of its way to pick a quarrel." Newton, N. C., Enterprise: "N'egro Organization Picks Quarrel with Department of War," reads a contemporary headline. Coupling this action with the activity of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People in bringing about the defeat of the Parker nomination to the Supreme Court, it begins to look like the Republicans started something when they forced the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments into the Constitution." Petersburg, Va., Progress-Index: "It is recognized very generally that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, an organization chiefly of Northern men A warrant for the arrest of Park Policeman A. L. Moore was issued Thursday charging him with manhandling Miss Gay Twitty, Armstrong High School girl. The trial of the girl was postponed until Saturday (today), at which time the case of the park policeman will also be heard in Juvenile Court, by Judge J. Hoge Ricks. The family of Miss Twitty, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Moss have retained attorney Alfred E. Cohen to represent them and the case will be prosecuted to the limit. The case of Miss Gay Twitty, high school girl who was roughly handled by Park Policeman A. L. Moore has created a sensation. It is alleged that this girl was passing through Monroe Park, on the way to her home, 207 Lombardy Street from the Armstrong High School, when she was interfered with by some white boys. Officer Moore took a hand and roughly manhandled Miss Twitty, after which he hauled her to the First Police Station. Her brother in-law, hearing of the affair, went to the park to investigate and was promptly arrested and fined $5.00 by Judge Haddon in the Police Courr Park Officer Moore informs The Planet that he has been falsely accused and that he did not handle Miss Twitty roughly at all. The Planet is not prejudiced in this matter, but acted in good faith when it was informed of the alleged outraged. The columns of The Planet are open for all citizens and we should welcome any statement from Park keeper Moore. New York, June 20.—Clippings recounting in full the sensational triumph in london of Paul Robeson in the part of Shakespeare's "Othello," and containing laudatory reviews of the life of Mr Robeson in the book, and recounting the Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from England. GEORGIA FUNERAL DIRECTORS SEND DONATION TO N. A. A. C. P. New York, June 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received from the Georgia Colored Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association, through their secretary, Frank J. Hutchings, the sum of $10, voted at their last meeting. In the letter transmitting the gift Mr. Hutchings writes that it was voted: "... in appreciation for the great work you are doing for the race everywhere. "Please accept the enclosed check as coming from an organization that has the interest of the N. A. A. C. P. at heart." with headquarters in New York City, has accomplished some things of value to the Negro race in the United States. It has seemed to us that the association has succeeded in convincing Northern people that the better element, at least, in every Southern community is friendly to the Negro and his efforts to advance himself. The association undoubtedly has caused the people of other sections to realize that the better element in every Southern community is opposed to lynchings. (But the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has rendered the colored race a disservice in protesting against he order of the (War) Department segregating white and colored Gold Star Mothers. . . . The association evidently thinks it a matter of no importance to these colored mothers whether or not the white mothers desired or even were willing to tolerate their presence aboard the same ship." Thomasville, Ga., Enterprise: "Such protests merely inflame the people of the country against the Negro and the leaders that have lost all sense of fitness in their unreasonable dmeasures for social equity through the political influence they supposedly possess over the political parties in the North." Anderson, S. C., Independent: "Charmed ith its success in brings about the defeat of confirmation of the nomination of Judge Parker to be an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is now making war on President Obama because the incarceration of Star Mother Widows the battlefields of Europe, our War Department is sending Negro women together and not mixing them with white women. However, in this fight that association will hardly get the assistance of the Georgia and other southern senators that it did in the fight on Parker." Editorial MOORE ST.

Deception and extravagance, High-sounding, subtle flatteries, WEEKLY MESSAGE TO MEN The Literary Service Bureau) It would be impossible to estimate the number of awful tragedies for which women are directly or indirectly responsible for the death of men; yet, in a thousand cases, it might truthfully be said, "A woman siew a him." In many of these cases the women did no intentional wrong; in many others they lived and died without knowing the evil they had done; in a large number, they did know, and the mischief was done either deliberately or hastily; but the results were the same—the man was "killed by a woman." A few illustrations: 1. Unfaithful wives have done their part. Solomon pictures the unfaithful wife who met the simple young man on the streets and enticed him to her home, to her bed, and to his death. There have been many such cases where infuriated husbands have murdered men who had consorted with their wives. Often like Ruth Snyder, these unfaithful wives have caused the murder of their own husbands. 2. Treacherous paramours have slain many. Vile women of this cloak have sent many men to death. They were men who were murdered by jealous rivals; sometimes they have murdered their own partners in sin through jealousy; in other cases men have committed suicide because they NEGRO PRODIGALITY (The Literary Service Bureau) "They work hard;" they never have anything much; "they get very little out of life;" they are entitled to some pleasure; are some of the expressions used to excuse Negro wastefulness and extravagance. This concerns both those in "good circumstances" and those who are less fortunate, and who have little or nothing between them and embarrassment and actual suffering. Expensive cars, home luxuries, costly apparel, big feasts, expensive meals, and the things which enter into the discussion; and these very largely comprise the core of extravagance and wastefulness. This folly is alienating from us as a race and as individuals, the sympathy of the dominant race in America. A case in point was the action of a number of Chicago employers of Negroes after the session of the Elks' Lodge. It was reported that after white people had witnessed the parade, the large number, expensive bands, costly regalia and lavished spendings of these thousands of delegates, some of them agreed that if Negroes could afford such expense as that, the poor hites were more greatly in need of employment than were the people of these spenders; so a number of colored people were dismissed and their places filled by white laborers. Cleveland, Ohio, June 20.—Six colored librarians in Cleveland have joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through the local branch. These are all the librarians at the Friendly Inn Branch of the Cleveland Public Library where Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., delivered an address last year.

Much of the embezzlement, banditry, burglary, larceny, and murder in commission of crime might rightly be attributed to influence of women in whose interests the crime were committed. As regards men who have been executed for crime, a woman did not "spring the trap," "push the button"; but she was the instigator of crime; and of each man it would be truthful to say, "A woman slew him." 4. Venereal disease is responsible for more deaths than war; and venereal diseases are scattered by women. Doubtless there are instances in which one woman has caused the death of a hundred men, in this way. Some of these die suddenly; some linger and sugar; others become discouraged and take their own lives; but all are killed by women. On the tomb-stones of all who have been sent to death by unfaithful wives and treacherous paramours, all who have been executed for crime committed under circumstances discussed, all who have died of venereal disease, and all of the thousands who have been murdered directly at the hands of women, it might be truthfully engraved—"A woman slew him;" or "Killed by a woman." Let all men beware! This lodge extravagance is not confined to any one organization; and the matter in question applies to all organizations and all classes. There comes to mind a young man who is simply a "bell hop" and who sports an $1,800 car. Attention has been called to the case of a woman teacher who bought a car that cost more than a whole year's salary. In another case, the superintendent of education asked a colored teacher how she could afford the expensive car she was using. A white man gave information that a number of colored laborers were discharged from the Santa Fe shops at Topeka by a foreman, there. This foreman sold a big car because it was too expensive, and after a little while one of the colored employees went to work, riding in the same car. The foreman concluded that poor white people needed the work more. We may argue it is none of the white man's business; if we make the money we have the right to spend it as we choose; and this is true, but extravagance is unise at any time, and amid these times of economic depression it is foolish, and disastrous. It is not popular for leaders of these people to advise against such extravagance, because almost invariably such advice will be treated with contempt; but it is the duty to do so. A splendid slogan for us would be, "Back to simplicity." GUINZBURG SENDS N. A. A. C. P. New York, June.—Harold K. Guinzubrink, publisher, of the Viking Press, and president of the Literary Guild, has sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People his check for $1,000 representing the first payment on his three-year pledge meeting the conditions of Mr. William Rosenwald who offered $1,000 a year for three years if fourothers could be found to do the same.

Konjola is also sold at all Peoples Service Drug Stores, in Richmond. out and shout, when the SPIRIT touches the table of your heart. You know brethren, I believe in speaking OUT when the TRUE SPIRIT touches me. Infact, I can NOT restrain my feeling, just as the Apostles did on the Day of Pentecost. AMPLIFIER: 'W-e-l-i l' Mrs. Newton, it is not a wise lil thing to listen to everything you hear. I don't feel that any Baptist Church, or Baptist minister would object to the MANI-FESTATION of the HOLY SPIRIT in their services, because the HOLY SPIRIT is the Only thing that keeps any Church ALIVE! And, the Church without it, is absolutely DE A D. (That settles it). I heard Dr. Hill asking the congregation to talk back to him Sunday morning. So my advice to you Mrs. Newton, is not listen, and believe all you hear. If you are in the King's Palace, in the presence of Governors, Ambassadors, in the presence of Presidents, among Senators, Theologians, Professors, Lawyers, Doctors, or in the House of Parliament and among the 'Bontons, and the SPIRIT touches you, Cry out; make a joyful noise unto the Lord. If you fail to do so, He will make the ROCKS OUT. So go on to Second Baptist Church and enjoy the strings whenever you desire. The strings of welcome hang out. If the true Spirit touches the table of your heart, cry out. They will not make you hush." SISTER NEWTON: "Are you a minister of the gospel?" AMPLIFIER: "No, I am not a minister. I have never received any inclination to preach. I am an humble pew member like you." AMPLIFIER: "Say, brother Newton, the conversation is open to you also.

Come on now, we are waiting on you?" BRO. NEWTON: "Well, Ampie, you know how women are, they are just like a Victoria, if you start them talking, they can't stop until they run down—Ha! Ha! Ha! Te-Hee. Don't let me get away from the conversation. What about their SUNDAY SCHOOL?" AMPLIFIER: "I did not get there in time to go in any Class, but the little time I was there. I could see that they have a very wide-a-wake and progressive Sunday School. BRO. NEWTON: "Who is the Superintendent of this Sunday School?" AMPLIFIER: "Dr. Miles B. Jones, is the zealous Supt., and Miss Emma L. Baily, is the dutiful Secretary of the S. S." BRO. NEWTON: "How was the morning service?" AMPLIFIER: "At 11:00A.M. right on the dot, the beloved Shepherd opened Service. I guess about thirty minutes were spent in inspirational song and prayer service, giving praises and thanks to God for His innumerable mercies and unspeakable Gift to man." BRO. NEWTON: "What about the Scripture lesson?" AMPLIFIER: "I forgot to mention it. The pastor read an able lesson from the 46th Psalms. The congregation listened to this reading with intense interest. Father, I stretch My Hands to Thee, No other help I know; If Thou withdraw Thyself from me, whither shall I go, etc., was led by the pastor. This Hymn was sung by Choir and Congregation with much Spirit and enthusiasm." BRO. NEWTON: "Did you start to say something about the Church Clerk; seems like it was something?" AMPLIFIER: "Oh, yes I did. At this point, the Clerk read the regular church announcements, which were very important?" SISTER NEWTON: "Who is the Clerk; Ah, you know—go on and tell us?" AMPLIFIER: "His name is Mr. W. S. Banks, residence, 1617 Idlewood Avenue, is the Clerk. (Mr. Banks is an efficient busy business man)." MRS. NEWTON: "Is this the same Mr. Banks, that's Secretary-Treasurer of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company?" AMPLIFIER: "Yes, Mrs. Newton, he is the same one. He is also one of the deacons of this church." BRO. NEWTON: "Who askt for the offering?" AMPLIFIER: "Bros. M. B. Jones, E. F. Johnson, Mrs. Rosa E. Watson and others, raised the offering. Meanwhile, the Junior Choir furnisht thrilling music." MRS. NEWTON: "How much did they raise in the collection. Ah, tell us how much, you know. Say how much you think they raised?" BRO. NEWTON: "Don't be so interested in the financial affairs 'Nutty' let us hear more about the services?" AMPLIFIER: "I will give you that information later. The amount raised was not announced." BRO. NEWTON: "What was pastor Hill's text and subject?" AMPLIFIER: "In the morning he preach from this subject, 'The Black Spider.' Text found in Proverbs 30:28. Words: The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces." BRO. NEWTON: "Wish we had heard this sermon. Tell us more about it." AMPLIFIER: "It was a most A.

I consider this sermon as being one of Dr. Hill's master-pieces of ministerial lore; and quite applicable was it, to the needs of the people. I have seen many black spiders, but Dr. Hill said more about this black spider, than I could say about the whole number I've seen." BRO. NEWTON: "Well, the doctor certainly did say a lot about it, because I am sure you have seen many of them crawling upon your walls when you were a boy living in the country. Laughter." SISTER NEWTON: "Oh! Don't pay any attention to my 'hubby,' he hasn't got all of his buttons.' Laughter. Proceed Amplifier?" AMPLIFIER: "Yes, the good points Rev. Hill used in his discourse, were incalculable. This sermon should be preacht over and over again." BRO. NEWTON: "What were you fixing to say just a few moments ago about Rev. Hill?" AMPLIFIER: "I was about to say, when he is preaching the gospel, he does not sugar-coat, neither compromise. He hews direct to the line, and allows the CHIPS to FLY WHERE THEY MAY. Some time Dr. Hill's messages will make you LAUGH, sometime they will make you FROWN, but he cannot STOP to please or tickle the people. He must preach the TRUTH, because Almighty God Commands him to do it." BRO. NEWTON: "It is needless to ask how did the choir sing, but we will ask how did you like their singing?" AMPLIFIER: "The choir rendered very thrilling and melodious music. All present were 'lifted up.' Indeed, they furnish enough music to satisfy our musical appetite. Prof. Chas. Bland, is the able Organist." BOR, NEWTON: "Were any visitors present?" AMPLIFIER: "Don't ask me for their names because I do not have them in my pocket." BRO. NEWTON: "We have to go now Amplifier, the conversation was quite interesting. We would like to call by again next week. What church are you planning to visit Sunday, June 29th?" AMPLIFIER: "I am invited to First Baptist Church, South Richmond, where Dr. W. L. Ransome, is pastoring. You may call by next week. And Mrs. Newton, don't be a Black Spider, go on to Second Baptist Church and worship with them. You'll certainly enjoy the services. They'll welcome you Once, they'll welcome you twice, they'll welcome you thrice—See won't Dr. Hill preach to you NICE." WEST STAUNTON NEWS The Smoky Row S. S. had a large attendance on last Sunday.

Lampkin, Regional Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who has been stimulating and reviving branches of the Association, today paid warm tribute to colored ministers and churches for the aid they had been rendering, and to colored editors for their staunch support. "Dormant branches of the N. A. A." Cross Crossin Cross crossings carefully, is a sig seen at almost every railroad crossing. With this warning there always goes an illustration of what has happened or might happen, if one does not heed the sign. It seems to us, that the Virginia State Baptist Convention might well consider this, as the sign of the times. Last week the Virginia Baptists met in Lynchburg with high hopes and enthusiasm. But at the convention, there was a change that may cause dire results. And, that was the merging of the Women's Auxiliary with the men. The women, or at least the ones we have talked with, resent the merger, as a reflection on their work. Everybody knows that the women are the life of all church work, with few exceptions. In fact, we have heard it said, that if it were not for the women, church work would suffer. It seems that the Virginia Baptists have made a grave mistake in ruffling the feathers of the women, in order to save a few measles pennies in printing and traveling expenses. It is a known fact that the women C. P. are coming to life," said Mrs. Lamkin on a brief visit to the National Office. "People everywhere are realizing how vital the N. A. A. C. P. is to their rights and even their safety. "But especial praise must go to colored clergymen and editors for the help they have been giving. In Indianapolis an extraordinary revival of interest and of activity came about through the churches and schools. In Baltimore no less than twenty-seven churches had an N. A. A. C. P. Sunday during the recent drive and the churches ably backed up by Baltic's colored editors bore the brunt of the membership endorsed the N. A. A. C. P. and their individual leaders and members joined and played a stirring part in achieving the success that was ours." MAXIE MILLER WRITES Neglected Wives Not Rare Specimen Stomachs and Hungry Hearts Often Found (The Literary Service Bureau) From recent mail is selected this letter which is but one of many such— Dear Maxie Miller: I am telling you my 'tale of woe' with the hope that you may help me, as my burden is very heavy. Will you? I tm a married woman, and my friends say that I am a fortunate one, because I have a nice home, all necessary comforts, a good car and a liberal amount of money to spend. But I am not happy, because my husband neglects me and that huts, so much. He is not across or mean, needs me in the finer things, courtney, courtesy, petting, and going with me to places. I have plenty of everything, but my heart is hungry. What shall I do? Neglected wife Now, my sister, you are fortunate, in the things your friends enumerate, and perhaps you are somewhat mistaken in the thing you complain of. Look yourself in the face and ask, "Am I selfish? Am I exacting? Is my husband negligent, or is he absorbed in some project which may mean much to us—both of us?" If it is absorption, use tact and thus draw him away. But, above all, do not scold him and nag him. Better not allow him to know that you feel neglected. But if you really are a neglected wife, take courage in the fact that you are not the only one—they sisters are legion! Many men contend that if a woman has a nice home, get claire holding change, a car, money for a vacation, that ought to be enough for her." But tth is not enough. There are many who have these and yet will say, "My heart is hungry." Men, beware! He hunger is a terrible thing, and it may incite to satisfaction of the hunger elsewhere than at home! Remember Madam of the Baptist State Convention have done yeomen work, and especially in raising funds for the Virginia Seminary. And, now since the merger, that they are going to sit still for a year, and see just what will be done with the new leadership. This may prove disastrous. Seemingly, the complaint was that too much for railroad fare and expenses was being spent. This may, or may not be true, but the fact remains, that, if the women collect $2,000 cash a year to be turned over to the Seminary with all expenses clear; this is much better than having $700 collected, no matter what expense has been curtailed. The leaders of this cause had better look well at this change. The Baptists are at this time Nationally laboring under a terrible disgrace, and it will do no good to eleniate the strongest support the State body has. The women if they were doing well, should have been left alone, and any masculine jealousy should have been curbed, for the commonweal words often used by the Dr. Vernon Johns, President of the Seminary. Aver Godfrey Was Terrified Into Losing Fight by Chicago Gunmen. Sinister rumors that the George Godfrey-Prima Carrera fight in Philadelphia was "fixed"—fixed so that Godfrey voled contender for the fight, were tossed back and forth between Philadelphia and New York yesterday. Gunmen, gamblers who had wagered a fortune that Carrera would win, got the word to Godfrey, says one, of these rumors that if he didn't "throw" the fight he would be killed. The issue, at the National League Ball Park, Monday night, ended in the fifth round when Godfrey struck an obviously foul blow at the giant Franco-Italian. FOUL WAS DELIBERATE Carnera fell to the canvas, rolling and squirming and clutching himself well below the belt. To all who sat at the ringside the blow was visibly a foul one. Referee Tommy Reilly, the third man in the ring, declared that Godfrey "deliberately" struck the foul. The sports who are "all wise" say that notorious Chicagoogman fixed Godfrey with an un-wavered stare before the fight began and kept it there until the huge Negro was led from the ring the loser. The mob of Chicago gansters, who came E to see the Sharkey-Schmeling fiasco at the Yankee Stadium in New York, a week ago last Thursday, were the same who dotted the ringside in Philadelphia Monday night. Among them were many known to the police as the toughest "mobmen" in America. Following the Sharkey-Scheming foul-fest, the Chicagoans journeyed to the city when they silently awake the time until the Godfather-Carrera fight. FRIEDMAN BARRED Sailor Friedman tried hard to get a "personal message" to Godfrey. But the fighter's manager, Jim Doughtyher, alarmed at the presence in the camp of the sailor, stationed a guard at Godfrey's dressing room, with orders not to admit Friedman. The same colored detective on the night of the fight was detailed to guard Godfrey in his corner. He didn't stay there long, however, but was shooed away by Frank Weiner, chairman of the Boxing Commission of Pennsylvania. Godfrey disappointed after the bout, vowed ently declared the foul blow was unintentional.

He took the loss hard. Among the notables at the ringside were Gene Tunney, retired heavyweight champion, w h o watched the proceedings amusedly. Up to the time of the foul blow, both contestants showed an even chance to win. The first two rounds were all Godfrey's. Then he slapped his attack and Carr won the next two rounds, in the opinion of the majority of the boxing writers. GODFREY FINED $5,000 The State Boxing Commission of Pennsylvania yesterday fired Godfrey $5,000 for fouling Carnera and announced the suspension of the colored fighter and the revocation of his license to box in Pennsylvania. Doughtery called his fighter and asked him, "How about it, George? We hear that a bad Chicago gunman watched you closely at the fight and those Chicago gunmen were at the ringside." Godfrey answered: "I don't know any of those gentlemen at all, boss." "Well," questioned Doughtery, "they are saying that the mob threatened to beat your head off unless you 'threw' the fight." "Just like I said, boss," answered Godfrey, "Nobody ever said nothin' to me." Study Delinquency of Negro Children Chicago June 23.(ANP) The problem of growing waywardness among Negro boys and girls in Chicago has for its contributing causes, broken homes with either father or mother gone, transplanted families, low wages, cheap rents, mothers employed outside the home according to the study being made in Chicago by Prof. Earl R. Moses, former professor at Straight University, New Orleans. Mr. Moses is making the study under the auspices of the University of Chicago, where he is a research assistant and the Chicago Urban League in which organization he is director of research. Tentative indications, arising from the study of the problem which has aroused considerable concern here because of the mounting delinquency among colored children, were given by Mr. Moses this week at a meeting held at the City Club under the auspices of the Interracial group of the. Chicago Urban League. Mr. Moses is going over the records of approximately 33,000 cases of juvenile delinquency of all nationalities in Chicago, including the complete Juvenile court records for the fiscal year 1929, as well as the police court series of 1927. He is working in close cooperation with parole officers who parole boys to him, and is making personality studies in reference to the delinquents' family backgrounds. He is also supplementing his studies with the experience of probation officers and others. "Thus far the study indicates," he said, "that in the homes of the Negro delinquents the prevailing to learn to become pilots.

FIELD FOR MORTICIAN LARGE "As near as has been ascertained there are about 1,100 Negro undertakers conducting business in this country. These with the employed embalmers make a total of about 3,500 qualified Negroes engaged in a business that is a vital public necessity. "Other race groups in the American population have 25,738 undertakers with establishments with a total of 38,555 embalmers engaged in your line. Since Negroes constitute just about 10 per cent of the population of the land, and since the Negro death rate is nowhere less than that of other race groups, it is easily seen that until there are more than 2,500 undertaking establishments employing the services of over 3,800 embalmers, the race field will not have become congested or overcrowded. "However, the Negro undertaker must always bear in mind that his field is not an isolated one reserved to him for exploitation; but that he is in active competition with a large majority of the other morticians of the country for business; and that, therefore, he must meet every condition and service demand of his line with the same intelligence as do all others so engaged. He, or she, for women are fast forging forward, must not only study the problems of the trade; but must make mental and material contribution to the solution of these problems. Some are general while many of the problems confronting you are specific. You must show the world that you are capable to help handle the formative type; and that you are capable of mastering the ones having special application to Negro interests. Otherwise as a group, you will never command a proper trade recognition." So spoke James A. Jackson, Business Specialist, of the United States, Department of Commerce, to the annual convention of the National Independent Undertakers in New Orleans, La., on June 15. situation is that the father is dead and the mother remarried, or that the father has deserted the mother. Fewer mothers are housewives staying at home than is the case among white delinquents. Many mothers are domestic or are employe in industry. "It seems that fewer parents of Negro delinquents own their own homes than is true among the white delinquents with foreign-born parents. The income level appears to be slightly lower among the Negro delinquents than among the white delinquents, except for one nationality. S. W.

THE THIRTEEN MOST IMPORTANT NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES This is the second of a series of articles prepared by Mr. Eugene Gordon. The first, "The Thirteen Most Interesting Negroes in the United States," appeared sometime ago. The last, "The Thirteen Most Gifted Negroes in the United States," will appear in an early issue of THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION.

Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago Advertising Representatives THE THIRTEEN NEGRO This is the second of a series of an The first, "The Thirteen Most Inter- appeared sometime ago. The last, "the United States," will appear in an FEATURE SECTION. He who would name and important citizens of A fronted by this ques to what? In answering the question "Important to whom or to what?" it is impossible for me wholly to assume a detached attitude. What I say, therefore, must of necessity be colored by my personal opinion. While doing my best to remain a disinterested judge throughout these proceedings, I must remember, and so must you, that the most impartial judges are frequently influenced by the sum of their experiences. So-called best judges are those who incline somewhat toward moulding the letter of the law to their personal reactions to the case in hand. Thus arises the question of inevitability. For it is inevitable that my final selection of the thirteen most important Negroes in the United States will be influenced by my personal judgment. "Important to whom or to what?" finds answer, then, in the assertion that each is important (1) to the Negroes of this country, and (2) to the country itself according as his desirability or worth to the Negroes and the country is estimated by me. 11 My first list of important American Negroes contained fifty-three names, forty of which had to be eliminated. Here is the list, as only casual reflection suggested the names to me: 1. Robert S. Abbott; 2. Claude A. Barnett; 3. Joseph D. Bibb 4. Mary McLeod Bethune; 5. Jesse Binga; 6. William Stanley Braithwaite; 7. Roscoe C. Bruce; 8. Harry T. Burleigh; 9. Elmer A. Carter; 10. George W. Carver; 11. Charles W. Chestnut; 12. Countee Cullen; 13. William N. De Berry; 14.

Hinton, M.D.; 23. Albon W. Holsey; 24. Langston Hughes; 25. Charles S. Johnson; 26. James W. Johnson; 27. Mordecal W. Johnson; 28. Gilbert H. Jones; 29. Ernest E. Just; 30. Rienzi B. Lemus; 31. Alain Locke; 32. Annie M. T. Malone; 33. Kelly Miller; 34. Robert R. Moton; 35. Carl Murphy; 36. Anthony Overton; 37. Julian D. Rainey; 38. A. Philip Randolph; 39. J. A. Rogers; 40. Augusta Savage; 41. Arthur A. Schomburg; 42. George S. Schuyler; 43. James E. Shepard; 44. Henry O. Tanner; 45. Robert L. Vann; 46. Maggie L. Walker; 47. William A. Warfield, M.D.; 48. Charles H. Wesley; 49. Clifton R. Wharton; 50. Walter F. White; 51. Carter G. Woodson; 52. Monroe N. Work; 53. P. Bernard Young There are undoubtedly more than thirteen persons of consequence in that list of fifty-three. As a matter of fact, each of them is of more or less consequence, in one way and another. How justly to reduce the number to thirteen is the task now before me. Let us see, then. Robert S. Abbott is an important man; any one who controlled a paper like the Chicago Defender would be important; but his influence on Negro life,—potential and actual influence,—is not great enough to warrant his inclusion. Nor is the influence of Claude A. Barnett, director of the Associated Negro Press. The Associated Negro Press is an organization of potential power in the land, but this potential power will have to be resolved into actual power before the director of that organization may be said to possess a position of unusual importance. Joseph D. Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, has recently shown himself to be more than merely a common scold. His fight for Negro employment in Chicago marks him as a man who has a sense of social responsibility, with the moral courage to exemplify it. But the Whip is a local paper of local influence; thus, its editor's importance is circumscribed. (Moreover, it should not be forgotten by those who applaud Mr. Bibb's campaign that William Kelley of the New York Amsterdam News originated the idea that the Chicago man now capitalizes.

E. stitute, at Daytona, Fla., has a national reputation, and she commands broad influence, but she shrinks in importance as a school head when placed beside, say, Robert R. Moton. She will step aside along with Abbott, Barnett, and Bibb. Jesse Binga is important to high Negro society as a coming capitalist; than—well, Charles S. Johnson, for Negro society, so-called, emulating the Caucasian brand, realizes that its ascendency depends on men like Binga. But capitalists as a lot, and Negro capitalists especially, are to me the least important of vermin. I admit a prejudice against the whole species, and turn to William Stanley Braithwaite. Now here is a man who has been important in the field of American poetry for nearly twenty years, and during that period he has also done well by Negro poetry. But his significance is more national than racial: he is thought of more as an American poet and critic than as a Negro poet and critic. I pass him up, and come to Roscoe C. Bruce, resident manager of the Paul Laurence Dunbar apartments in Harlem. Mr. Bruce is a man of ability; he is a man of importance to the owners of that house. But as such his significance to the race at large is limited. Elmer A. Carter and Harry T. Burleigh are each of considerable importance, Mr. Burleigh as a composer and singer, and Mr. Carter as editor of the Urban League organ, Opportunity. Mr. Burleigh's importance is diminishing; Mr. Carter's, in his sphere, has at least a chance of increasing. Whether or not it will, depends on whether he will lend his social vision ultimately to the uses of his people or continue to lease it to the restricted and pervasive uses of the "foundation racket." We dismiss them both. welcome Charles W. Chestnutt and Countee Cullen will kindly retire. Mr. Chestnutt is still an important figure in A. American folk literature, but being of a past age, he is already outdistanced by newer forces. Mr. Cullen is of less importance to the blacks of America instance, the man who first nurtured the poet's talents. If I intended to include a minister of the so-called Christian church, the man selected would be William N. De Berry, of Springfield, Mass., who almost succeeded in combining this thing called Christianity with everyday life. But ministers as a class, being as useless as a parasitic growth can possibly be, there is no space even for so worthy a man as Dr. De Berry in an article given to the thirteen most important persons. Oscar De Priest remains, and so does W. E. B. Du Bois. E. Franklin Frazier is passed up along with Meta Warrick Fuller, Roland Hayes, Maud Cuney Hare, George W. Haynes, and Dr. William Hinton. That each of these talented persons is important is indicated by my involuntarily thinking of him. Some of them will reappear in another discussion. Solomon Harper stays, and so does Albon L. Holsey. Langston Hughes is undeniably important, but obviously less so than some of these against whom I have matched him. He goes out. Charles S. Johnson stays; James Weldon Johnson. goes; but Mordecal W. Johnson will please remain. James Weldon Johnson's days of importance are not altogether dimmed, but they are less refulgent than they used to be. Gilbert H. Jones, president of Wilberforce University, although a more scholarly man, must give way to Mordecal W. Johnson, since the latter is head of the more important institution. Ernest E.

HARRIS ployees, and as president of that body, is important among many Negroes, but his importance is less vital than Sol Harper's or A. Philip Randolph's. Why? Because Comrade Harper is a Communist organizer and agitator, and Randolph has succeeded Clean Fiction Human Interest Features in having the Brotherhood of Sleepin; Car Porters accepted by the American Federation of Labor. Thus, Randolph has gone several steps ahead of Lemus, while Harper is many leaps ahead of both. Locke's importance once promised growth and flowering in succeeding volumes of "The New Negro," but the promise remains unfulfilled. Mrs. Malone has been generous with gifts of money, but the enterprise in which she is engaged seems to me to be of negligible value, notwithstanding that it has been the means of founding a whole dynasty of Aframerican "Madames." Mr. Kelly Miller's importance is negative. Robert R. Moton survives; Carl Murphy impresses me as a man of real importance, for with his the Baltimore Afro-American he wields a telling influence. But since all newspaper publishers and editors are of more or less importance and it being impossible at all times to gauge their relative value, we must reluctantly forbear naming any of them. Anthony Overton is another banker, whose importance to a certain section of our social structure is undeniable, but who, like my good friend, Julian D. Rainey, is of little importance to the masses of Negro workers who seek emancipation from the tryannous overlordship of the system Overton and Rainey are engaged in perpetuating. Both gentlemen will step aside. A. Philip Randolph will please remain, but J. A. Rogers and Augusta Savage will kindly retire. Rogers is still a significant force in Aframerican journalism, but journalists as such are only a little more important than preachers. Unless they are leaders as well as writers, they are worthless. Now, J. A. Rogers was once an excellent leader of revolutionary thought among Negroes, but his self-exile in Europe (for which I admit a sneaking enviousness) has rendered his leadership all but innocuous. He still has the power, but is too far away from the scene of combat effectively to use it. Augusta Savage is a good sculptress; Arthur A. Schomburg however, is more important. She goes and he stays. George S. Schuyler, James E. Shepard, Henry O. Tanner, Robert L. Vann, Maggie L. Walker, Dr. William Warfield, Charles H. Wesley, Clifton R. Wharton, Walter F. White, and P. Bernard Young will all fall out; Carter G. Woodson and Monroe N. Work will move up to fill in the vacancies left by these gentlemen and the lady. Schuyler is unquestionably important in the eyes of a large section of literate Aframerica, but he is, like those who fell out with him, not so vitally nor immediately important to the well being of the majority of his fellow Negroes as those who remain in line. Schuyler, Vann, and Young were the hardest to eliminate; Schuyler, because with his column in the Pittsburgh Courier, he has potentialities of splendid leadership; and Vann and Young, editors nad publishers of the Courier and the Norfolk Journal and Guide, respectively, are subjected to the same criticism which disqualified Murphy. Mrs. Maggie Walker is in many ways an extraordinary woman; moreover, I have a hearty admiration for her: But I doubt whether her work is of genuine importance to the Negro as a whole. III My list of the thirteen most important Negroes in the United States stands: 1. George W. Carver, scientist; 2. Oscar DePriest, Congressman; 3. William E. Burghardt Du Bois, sociologist, author, editor: 4. Solomon Harper, Communist organizer and agitator; 5. Albon L. Holsey, organizer of Negro business; 6. Charles S. Johnson, sociologist, investigator; 7. Mordecal W. Johnson, university president; 8. Ernest E. Just, zoologist; 9. Robert R. Moton, principal industrial school; 10. A.

Possibly you have fervently wished that some one would invent unbreakable crockery. "Oh, if only china would stand a little hard usage," you moan. But think of the hotel managers and the restaurant keepers! They, too, would like to have some of the unbreakable kind of crockery. Yes, indeed, they would, when they pay some several thousand dollars a year because dishes will break. It is a fact that one eastern hostelry of international repute spends more than $60,000 annually for new dishes and glassware to replace those broken in handling. A leading Chicago hotel has to count in the budget, $35,000 to replace chinaware alone. Restaurant keepers regularly charge for a 20 percent dish breakage each year. And that charge must be paid for by the patron of the restaurant, hotel and eating house where crockery is used. So breaking dishes becomes something of a national problem, touching the pocketbook of every man and the budget of every housewife. If it were possible to tabulate the dishbreakage losses throughout the United States, the total would look like interest on what Europe still owes us.

The Macmillan Company, Publishers, New York City. Price $3.00. At last the truth about the views of the great Mahatma Gandhi has appeared in print. From the various and confusingly diversified newspaper accounts of this sensational leader's doctrines, one can never be sure of one's correctness in accepting any statement of the Indian non-cooperative movement. However, since this new book has seen the light of day, there is no excuse for the continuance of any ignorance in regard to the motivating force of the present Hindu revolt. It is not difficult to see that many of Gandhi's ideas are directly traceable to his education at English universities. He was trained in the common law system of thinking, consequently in one place he states the following: "Use your own property in such a way that you hurt no one else's' is not merely a good legal maxim, but a grand doctrine of life. It is the key to a proper practice of . . . Love." This has long been a cardinal and basic principal of the traditional and classic common law, and is characteristically much more fundamentally English or modern than Hindu. Doubtless the average mind is accustomed to attribute the doctrines of Gandhi to mysticism, peculiarly applicable to the Oriental point of view. But rather, one searches in vain for the mysticism, for the superstition and the rigid molds that usually bind the Eastern mind. The colored people of this country should be deeply interested in the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi. Here is, indeed, a man whose daring courage outweighs in virile leadership any trifling concern he may have for his own individual safety. Welcoming the severest punishment upon himself for the sake of the cause which he believes is right, he has defied the British to "do their worst" to him. He realizes the importance of unselfish sacrifice for the success of any WEYER'S Sur-Lay Keeps Hair Combed Helps It Grow SUR-LAY, is a greaseless liquid hair dressing which milions use because WEY drops will control stubborn hair and keep it combed all day— also helps hair grow.

Her mother wants her to marry Dick Colvin, an ungainly, uncultured but honest laborer. He presses his suit but Verna refuses him again and again. Finally one night on the way back from a moving picture show, he becomes enraged at her refusal and forces her to kiss him. She screams and a rescuer leaps from the darkness and knocks Dick Colvin cold. Dick recovers and attempts to attack the stranger, Donald Baxter, a dapper gambler from the neighboring city of Kalesburg, with a knife. Baxter is irresistibly drawn to Verna and lavishes attentions upon her. Verna is all excited over him. He evasiveness enrages him since he has always had his way with women. He paints beautiful pictures of opportunities to be had by a girl of her beauty in the large cities and offers her a job in his cabaret in Kalesburg. She agrees to take it. Dick Colvin appears and tries to prevent her from going but without avail. Now go on with the story— CHAPTER THREE The Imprisonment "I heard everything you all fully, "and she's not going any "Oh, is that so!" sneered Do anything to say about it." I don't care what she says ing with you. I know who you too, she won't think of going "I heard everything you all said," shouted Dick, wrathfully, "and she's not going anywhere with you, see?" "Oh, is that so!" sneered Don, "I suppose Verna hasn't anything to say about it." "I don't care what she says," snarled Dick, "she's not going with you. I know who you are now and when she knows too, she won't think of going with you." Don's is narrowed. Verna sat interested in was getting fame and speechless, transfixed, and yet she was secretly thrilled by the prospect of another battle over her. She knew it wasn't the feeling she ought to have had but she had it just the same. "You're going to get away from here as soon as you can." growled Don reaching stealthily into the pocket on the inside of the car door, "or you won't be able to get away at all. I'm tired of you country saps butting into my affairs." "Country sap, eh?" shouted Dick angrily. "Well, I'll show you." Don and Verna Escape Suddenly he leaned toward Don and raising a stout stick he carried in his right hand, started it down quickly in a vicious blow. But he was a little too slow. Before the club was half way in its course. Don snatched a wrench out of the car pocket and swung it against Dick's jaw, at the same time falling to one side to escape the swing of the club. The impact of the wrench on his jaw sent Dick spinning. Before he could recover himself Don started the car and sped away. Verna was almost swooning with excitement. It seemed as if her heart would burst out of her breast. She clasped and unclasped her hands. The rims of her eyes burned. She was a mixture of feelings; she was thrilled to have these young men fighting over her but at the same time she was a little depressed by the fact that she aroused such enmity.

She wanted to be able some time to put her family in a beautiful home, clean, immaculate and comfortable. Being young and so beautiful, she liked the attentions of young men, of course, but she felt she didn't have any time for love and marriage. Later on, perhaps, when she knew more about men and life, but not now. "Listen, Don," she said, when they were a mile or so away from the place of the encounter with Dick Colvin, "you know I cannot go away like this without saying goodbye to the folks." "Can't you write or wire them?" he asked irritably. "We've had enough trouble without going back for more." "But Don," she exclaimed in surprise. "I can't leave home without even saying goodbye to my folks! Certainly you wouldn't want me to do that." "Oh, all right," he grumbled, turning the car about. "We'll go back." Don's attitude slightly disturbed Verna. Why did he seem so unusually eager to get away from Norrisburg? Why did he not want her to bid her people goodbye? She glanced up suddenly and caught him looking down at her with a sort of calculating hunger. It made a slight tremor run over her. Wel, anyhow, she would take a chance.

SYNOPSIS ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—June 28, 1930 the IRRESISTIBLE by WALTER GLASTON Brilliant Negro Fiction Writer Verna Relieves the Weariness of her Exciting Journey A woman rests on a bed, her head tilted back as she sleeps. She is wearing a striped dress and a headband. The bed is covered with a patterned pillow and a ruffled skirt. A window with curtains is visible in the background. "When she had closed the door, Verna sank down on the beautiful bed in a state bordering on stupefaction. Had she done wrong to come here? Hadn't it been unwise to let Don talk her into coming to Kalesburg alone with him? Might there not be some understanding between him and Mrs. Quill? Funny that she should be given such a palatial room!" Norrisburg. She could only get ahead by going to some bigger place where there would be a larger field for her talents. It never occurred to Verna that she might not succeed in a big c.y. She was confident; sure of herself. She knew her beauty, she knew the witchery of her eyes, she was aware of her irresistible charm and her natural culture. She could dance and converse excellently. So she did Verna Relievesth "When she had closed the door, Verna Had she done wrong to come here? with him? Might there not be some not feel that there was anything to fear. Verna Defies Her Mother They drove up to the little shack in Bill: Goat Lane and got out. While the crowd of urchins stood around admiring the flashy automobile. Don and Verna entered the Nash home. Verna had felt that there would be a big quarrel about her taking a job in Kalesburg. Her mother could only see the dangerous possibilities of taking such a step, and even her father cautioned against it. Again and again Don assured them that his motives in giving Verna a position were worthy, but they viewed him with skepticism. Finally Verna could stand it no longer. They were interfering with her future. They wanted to keep her here slaving away forever. "Might just as well quit talking, Mom," she said. "I intend to get somewhere in this world and I can only do it by getting away from here. So I am going whether you like it or not." With: that she switched out of the room, made up a package of her things and walked out to the car followed by Don. She was almost at the point of breakdown because of the ordeal but he was tickled to death. He admired her spirit and as he looked down at her beside him in the car, he thought he wanted her more than anything else in the world. Don was about to start the car and be off when a ragged old woman with seamy brown face came to the automobile and placed her hand on the door, looking up at Verna. It was Grandma Nash, who enjoyed a great reputation as a conjure woman in Billy Goat Lane. "Goodbye Granny." said Verna, leaning over and kissing her, "I'm going away now." "Be keerful, child, be keerful," whined the old woman. "The city is a bad place. There are all kinds of dangers there. You'll need protection, child somebody to look out after you, to keep you out of harm's way." "Oh, that's all right. Granny." in- terrupted Don, indulgently, "I'll look out for her; she's going to work for me, so everything's all right." The old lady fixed her cold, piercing gaze on the dapper young fellow and seemed to bore him through and through. Then turning to Verna again she said: "Gal, don' put yo' trust in no man, no matter what he says. Mens don't mean pretty gals like you no good, the Weariness of her ma sank down on the beautiful bed in "Hadn't it been unwise to let Don ta- ke understanding between him and Mrs- given such a palatial room!" hear me?" The old woman cast another baleful glance at the uneasy Don and then reaching in her pocket extracted a peculiar charm that resembled a nutmeg in shape but was jet black, with a white cord attached to it and a green feather running through its center. "What's that Granny?" asked Verna wonderingly, half smiling. "This here is a charm," said Grandma Nash, ignoring her levity. "Taint nuthin' to laugh at either. You put this around yo' neck. Whenever you think of this here charm you better stop doin' what you're doin' and don' do what you're figurin' on doin', Understand?" The Unfailing Charm Verna nodded her head mechanically. The charm rather awed her. Gingerly she took it, examined it closely and then put the cord around her neck and let the charm hang inside her shirtwaist. "Will. it really remind me when to watch my step. Granny?" she queried. "Yes child," Grandma Nash assured her. "That charm never fails. It never failed me and it'll never fail you." With that the old woman turne without another word and shambled away. "That's a lot of boloney!" scoffed Don, easing the car through the ruts of Billy Goat Lane. "Those things can't either help or hurt you. Verna. You've got to depend on your own wi'3 in this world. Your common sense will warn you whether you're doing the right thing or not. If I were you I'd throw that thing away." "Oh, no!" she cried. "I wouldn't do that. I believe Grandma Nash knows things that a whole lot of us don't know. Anyway. I'm not taking any chances. How do you know for sure that it's no good?" Don shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. He didn't want to get to arguing about a little thing like a charm. He had more important --- 3 things to think of, he mused to himself as they sped down the hard-surfaced country road. When they arrived in town, he'd get her out of all that superstition, even if her head was rather hard. He smiled sardonically to himself as he thought of his new conquest. Verna's joy at getting away to a new job that seemed to point toward success was somewhat tempered by a Exciting Journey a state bordering on stupefaction. Talk her into coming to Kalesburg alone. Quill? Funny that she should be certain strange and unexplainable foreboding. She couldn't explain to herself just what it was that made her feel every few minutes a sort of vague uneasiness, but she felt it nevertheless. She glanced sidewise at Don. He looked so clean cut and square that an' feeling of perturbation she might have had always vanished. The man inspired confidence and she felt sure that he was perfectly honest and a good friend. But ever and anon the feeling of suspicion and uneasiness would return to plague her. Mile after mile they drove on in silence, each thinking his or her individual thoughts. Don was thinking how he would boast to his friends and show off his new girl. He had no doubt that once in Kalesburg she would give in to his wishes as many others had. Verna was thinking of herself in the enviable role of hostess in a swell cabaret, meeting all of the important people, wearing the latest gowns and making plenty of money. Some time after dawn they entered the suburbs of Kalesburg. Through the bare and desolate streets they sped, flanked on either side by cold walls of brick, concrete and steel. Here and there a pedestrian's foot-steps echoed up from the cement sidewalks while traffic lights started and halted traffic that was at present non-existent. It was a chilly morning although in the late spring and a thin gray mist enveloped the great downtown structures. Occasionally a lone street car crawled down an empty, street like a huge yellow bug, rattling and clanging.

Then leisurely we sauntered along the broad south veranda toward our “criminal laboratory,” as Miles had jokingly dubbed that secluded and quiet cor- ner of ours on the north veranda. Here is was that we settled into comfortable rockers and brought out our favorite brands of tobacco. Now, as you recall, I had become acquainted with these gentlemen here at this delightful summer resort, Eagle Rest, in the Virginia moun- tains. Holcomb was formerly a mem- ber of the Chicago police force, while Ralph Miles was a feature writer for @ powerful syndicate of Negro news- papers. For a few moments we sat there in the semi-darkness. Opposite us sat Holcomb, powerfully built, his strong dark-skinned face tilted to- ward the floor—as if to say, “What thrill must I give these gentlemen tonight?” Subsequently a long discussion fol- lowed, dealing with crime and crimi- nals in general, with particular em- phasis upon the various courses open to the detective. “But,” Holcomb pointed out—his pipe working fine now—“There are some cases Where we need only let matters run along in a natural course.

He leaned far back in his chair, the usual frown upon his rugged face.

The well-known sleuth whirled out of the room. About a half hour later, after a mad dash through the city and out into the dark stretches of suburban territory in a Department car, De- tectives Holcomb and Wade swung off the state highway and sped up the winding driveway of the beau- tiful Mitchell estate — Inglewood; three acres of smartly landscaped grounds, the mansion itself, half ob- scured in the semi-darkness by giant oaks, perched loftily on a rise some hundred yards from the main high- way.

You are to go up at once. She... Oh, this is terrible!”—wringing his hands. The two officers followed Jennings up the stone steps and thence into the great reception room, finally up the broad, heavily-carpeted stair- case beyond, mildly in awe of this atmosphere of wealth. ‘At a closed mahogany door on the second floor Jennings halted them and tapped lightly—yet, only sobs came from within—again and again. “This is the madam’s room?” Hol- comb inquired. in KANSAS CITY at the LINCOLN HOTEL, 1301 Woodland.

Why Do Women Like Brutes? Have you a puzzling love affair on which you need friendly advice? Write to Julia Jerome, care of this newspaper. If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Verna, The Irresistible Julia Jerome A nice young man of New York City would like to know. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am twenty-five and not bad looking but I am rather small and thin and I just don't seem to attract women. I have had several sweethearts but invariably they leave me for some other fellow who knows less and has no manners but just who happens to be bigger. I've lost several to Jim, a pal of mine. He's not handsome and he's positively rough at times and yet women adore him. Now, I've always heard women liked cavemen and what I want to know is why they like them. If I were a woman I shouldn't want a man like that. WELL-MANNERED. My dear young man, that is an old, old story. Way back, at the beginning of love, in the year One Million B.C. cavewomen selected their mates for prowess. They had to have a man strong enough to protect them and their young from the attacks of other animals, from storms, from droughts, from all the terrifying manifestations of a hostile Nature. And how could they know a man's strength unless they felt it themselves? And so it is that women still want a man to protest them. Even an emancipated woman wants a man who could, if called upon, fight for her. However, a man does not have to be six feet tall and weigh two hundred pounds to be strong and inspire respect. Many men that are large are soft, pudgy and inspire pity and amusement. Women don't really want a brutal man but they want a virile man. Brutality is sometimes the carmarks of virility. Your friend Jim is probably more virile than you. Manners are rather superficial things but virility is Continued from Page Three ding appearance. Verna didn't like the looks of it at all. "Here's where we get out," said Don cheerily. He wanted to reassure Verna because he had noticed her glance of apprehension. "Mrs. Quill is a fine woman. She'll look out for you better than your own mother. She's been a friend of our family for twenty years. Regular fellow, too, believe me." Verna, still apprehensive, for some strange reason that she could not fathom, said nothing but merely nodded and smiled and followed Don up the steps. He rang the doorbell. They waited what seemed to be an interminable period in the gray, chill morning air. Across the street a jet black cat meowed dismally, ran half way toward them and then turning in its tracks dived into a cellar window. Farther down the street a sign creaked eerily and Verna was startled by the sound of a newspaper being blown down the street. Then a shuffling could be heard on the other side of the door, the bolt was shot back and, mirrored in a rectangle of yellow light stood a tall, gaunt, seamy-faced woman, slightly stoop-shouldered, who peered out from under shaggy eveebrows with deep-set eyes that bored them through and through. She was dirty; yellow in color, her hands were long and talon-like and she was wrapped in a soiled dark red bathrobe. It was Mrs. Quill, the landlady. "Hello, Donald," she greeted Baxter, with a grim smile, "who's your friend?" He introduced the two women and they shook hands. Verna did not like the looks of Mrs. Quill. There was something sinister about her whole mien, something that warned one to take care and be on the alert. "Come right upstairs with me," dearie," said the landlady.

MARQUESE De ELORZA "Today Negro rhythm predominates in dance and music," says the Hon. Marquese De Elorza. Having travelled extensively throughout the world, this well-known authority believes that the cultural advance of civilization in this country is being directly affected by the originality of Negro talent in art. He states also that UNA PLEGARIA (A Prayer) by an illiterate Cuban Negro named Placide, is as great as any of the work of Homer and Virgil, two of the world's greatest poets. The Marquese is an art critic, a famous journalist and Internationally known cosmetician. His products are sold throughout the world. love. It's in the back of the house where it's quiet. You know, you'll need a room like that if you're going to sleep in the daytime." The Locked Door She led Verna thru the dark hall and stopped in the rear. She fumbled a while for her key and then throwing open the door of the room revealed a palatial chamber that was riotously barbaric in its color scheme. Verna had never seen anything richer and it astounded and awed her. The walls were hung with light green satin, the furniture was lacquered in red trimmed with gold, there were small, dark red Persian rugs scattered around the floor, the low bed was covered with a green and silver spread and piled high with a score of pillows of every color while above was a royal purple canopy. "Is this for me?" Verna gasped stopping with open-mouth on the threshold. "Why certainly," Mrs. Quill assured her, lowering the corners of her mouth in a sardonic smile. "Don's friends always are welcome to the best. The bathroom is right through that door. Refresh yourself, child, and get a little sleep. Mr. Baxter says hell come after you about noon." When, she had closed the door, Verna sank down on the beautiful bed in a state bordering on stupefaction. Had she done wrong to come here? Hadn't it been unwise to let Don talk her into coming to Kalesburg alone with him? Might there not be some understanding between him and Mrs. Quill? Funny that she should be given such a palatial room. Why did Mrs. Quill smile so peculiarly? As these questions raced through her head she thought suddenly of the charm hanging against her breast. She gave a start and stood erect, apprehensive, terrified. She gripped the charm in her right hand and prayed silently for the strength and ingenuity to realize her ambition. In the dim, early morning light, her face tense, her beauty seemed unearthly and magically transparent. Suddenly she tiptoed to the door. It might be a good idea, she thought, to explore this place. Perhaps she might hear some scrap of conversation that would prove helpful to her in shaping her course. One could not be too careful in strange surroundings. She placed her hand on the knob, turned it softiv and pulled. The door would not budge. It was locked! (To Be Continued) Have light-toned lovely skin!

He opened the door softly then and entered the room, followed by Wade, who closed the door after them. Like the room below, this chamber also attested at once wealth and power, its rare period furnishings suggested a taste which only persons of great refinement would appreciate—a room in chintz and mahogany. She lay there, Mrs. Mitchell, on a lounge before the huge mantle, sobing bitterly. Respectfully, Holcomb crossed the highly polished floor and bent over her. She moved her head and there was revealed the tear-dampened face of a woman past forty, yet easy to admire in spite of cruelly reddened eyes. Instead of speaking, her fingers clutched at the pillows and her beautifully full lips compressed themselves until only a straight line was visible. # "You have my sympathy, lady," Holcomb murmured. "Detective Holcomb speaking. May I——?" "Oh, how could he!" the woman suddenly sobbed. She rose then and staggered to the door, which she flung open. Jennings, who had obviously been eavesdropping, straightened up and stepped back in surprise. Holcomb and Wade regarded the old man inquiringly as he began sheepishly to explain. "Excuse me, madam," he habbled. "but I——I——" Mrs. Mitchell had suddenly reeled unsteadily. One hand went up to her forehead as she turned to Holcomb. "Jennings discovered it," she faltered, and would have slumped to the floor if Wade hadn't caught her and led her back to the lounge. Holcomb was out in the hall now.

Carver possesses extraordinary potential value to the South. His astounding discoveries of products emanating from the peanut, from red clay, and from the sweet potato have not yet been appreciated fully. Flour, starch, mock cocoanut, ginger, vinegar, molasses, breakfast foods, coffee substitute, library paste, shoe blacking, and printer's ink, all from the sweet potato; all kinds of dyes from red clay; wood stains. dyes for cloth, salad oil, massage cream, linoleum, and ha'r tonic.—these from the peanut; what possibilities for revolutionizing some of our basic industries lie in the hands of this unpretentious black scientist of Tuskegee! I do not know whether Carver would consent to it, but it would interest be immensely to see some of our. Aframerican capitalists suggest to him the organization of a corporation to manufacture these various Carver products. His great genius is of little use to mankind so long as it is confined to desultory laboratory experimentation. He would be of infinitely vaster importance not only to the so-called Negro race but to the human race if he could be induced to share his secrets with a larger portion of mankind. But where, after all, could men be found who would not seize upon this amazing knowledge to make profit for themselves? Hardly anywhere. So perhaps Carver is right in preferring to remain obscure. In a country like Soviet Russia his genius would be appreciated; it would be put to the use of all the people by the government. But here the government as such does not know that the man exists. Any one who, like Oscar De Priest, holds a seat in Congress, is a person of potential importance. That is true whether he uses his position unselfishly to benefit the people or selfishly to benefit himself. De Priest has not been selfish. He has been foolish occasionally; perhaps even a little stupid at times; but he has now been in Congress long enough to know his way around. In so far as this alleged democratic system of government permits it, he has a free hand, and he has also extensive space in which to exercise it. De Priest has done far more good than harm. Little more need be said of Dr. Du Bois than that the position which has been granted him as "leader" For SNAPPY LOOKING HAIR Use MURRAYS HAIR POMADE Everybody admires snappy-looking hair.

Albon L. Holsey has come suddenly into notice through his organizing of Negro grocers under the supervision of the National Negro Business League. He is doing a good job. The idea behind his experiment is not original with him, but the credit for making it a concrete reality belongs to him. At the moment F cannot think of a job that is of more importance to Negro merchants. Charles S. Johnson is important as the discoverer and mentor of a number of Negro writers. some of whom have since done creditable work and others of whom haven't amounted to a damn. Countee Cullen, Helene Johnson. Langston Hughes. Arna Bontemp., Wering Cuney, and Sterling Brown are a few of the poets whom he set afoot and got going. His work as a sociologist has been just as noteworthy, the investigation for the Chicago Urban League and the Carnegie Foundation furnishing valuable data. Perhaps his greatest accomplishments to date have been his work as associate executive secretary of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations. founder of Opportunity. A Journal of Negro Life, and his writing of a book that Duffield is bringing out under the title of "The Negro in American Civilization." His influence on the sociological aspect of Negro life has been significant.

Sometimes 1 wonder whether he appreciates the gravity of his position. For, although he may move with solemn pompousness at times; although he may retire in annoyance too frequently to his ivory tower from which height he declaims ex cathedra,—there are. nevertheless, thousands who call him prophet. Du-Bois has been a gallant and a consistent fighter for a long time; it is only recently that his attitude toward the problem of the races has shown evidences of reactionism. Whether this hedging is due to senility or to the inevitable despair of the defeated warrior, I do not know. But I feel sure that Du Bois will occupy a place of importance in twentieth century American civilization for decades after he is dead. Certain of his books, notably "The Souls of Black Folk." "Dark Water." and "The Gift of Black Folk." have long since established him as one of the most important essayists on black-white relationship in the world. It is my belief that a Negro of so great importance is likely to be dangerous unless his utterances in behalf of his people are made at all times with full appreciation of the fact that the day of considering American Negroes IN ANY WAY differently from the rest of the population is past. I know little of Solomon Harper, and should like to know more. I am aware that he is a Communist organizer and agitator; that he has held an important post in the Communist party of America, and that he was arrested and imprisoned a short while ago in. New York principally because he was a black Communist. In my opinion, Harper is, by virtue of these facts, a far more important Negro than any dozen assorted colored poets and other pitted artists. He is a pioneer, the value of whose work few Negroes now comprehend.

The last word in a gentleman's work room, this chamber. In the middle of the thickly carpeted floor was a large desk. The walls were lined with built-in bookcases that reached to the beamed ceiling. The great windows, draped in luxurious velvet, somehow made the officers think of "That is not the gun said Holcomb. haughtily arched eyebrows. There was the motionless body of a man heaped on the floor by the swivel chair, his head lying in a pool of cold blood—a huge man, dark of complexion, with the mark of the brilliant lawyer stamped on his stern face, even in death. Jennings took one look at the sorry sight and clung to the wall, muttering. Wade cursed softly. Holcomb acquired a bulldoggish expression and went grimly forward, until the stiff body lay at his feet. Then he bent low. Meantime Wade proceeded to inspect the room. No, there was nothing to indicate that this was not a suicide. No overturned chairs; no pulled drawers; no unlocked windows, though the French doors leading to the balcony were equipped with locks that could have been operated from the outside, Wade observed. Holcomb had discovered the ugly little hole at Mr. Mitchell's temple. The revolver was lying on the floor less than two feet away. He drew a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully lifted this to his nostrils. He smelled of it, again and again—till finally, arched his eyebrows high! Next, he examined the barrel and found five bullets, and one empty hole. His curiosity in that direction apparently satisfied, Holcomb commenced crawling around on his hands and knees. In a few moments, he was getting to his feet again with one empty shell between his fingers. "Jennings" he said after a bit, ONE DOZEN St.Joseph's 10¢ Pure ASPIRIN 5-GRAIN TABLETS THE LARGEST SELLING ASPIRIN IN THE WORLD FOR 10¢ 12 Tablets 10c - 36 Tablets 25c - 100 Tablets 60c St.Joseph's Pure ASPIRIN man Lost Pounds of Fat ♦ you're growing hideously fat!

"I—er—Madam sent me up with a message about nine o'clock . . . with a message, sir." "Hmmm." Holcomb looked at his watch. "Almost eleven now. What was this message, Jennings?" "They had. . . . I couldn't say, sir. in that killed Mitchell," It was sealed, sir." "How long have you been employed here. Jennings?" "Seven . . . eight years, sir." "They got along nicely, I suppose?" "Yes, sir—very nicely, sir—mostly." Holcomb launched the next question suddenly, forcefully. "What did you do with the undelivered message?" he surprised. Quite unconsciously, the old man proceeded to reveal a thing which he obviously had not intended to, for no sooner than did his hand rise to his breast pocket than did his wrinkled face turn an ashen grey. His eyes suddenly widened; his lips parted in a confused gasp as Holcomb stepped closer and subjected him to a thorough eye lashing. At which the excited domestic wilted. Reluctantly, he slowly drew a sealed envelope from his pocket and passed it over. And as Holcomb ripped it open a car honked outside somewhere, and Jennings became suddenly all nerves. "Please," he fidgeted; "that'll be Doctor Canada, sir, Madam's orders, sir, I must go." And with that he backed out in great haste. Then with Wade peering over his shoulder, Holcomb unfolded the single sheet of paper in his hand and began to read. They glanced at each other and then read the few scrawled words again. I M TIRED. LET'S BURY THE HATCHET. —GRACE. Detective Holcomb finally crumpled the sheet of paper into a ball and shoved it into his pocket. "It would seem," he remarked, "that the Mitchells had had some misunderstanding, eh?" Wade was plainly confused. "But Holcomb," he whispered, "surely you're not looking for a clue?—not in a case of suicide?" "Suicide, your eye!" Holcomb whispered back. "It's murder, pure and simple—and if you ask me, it's going to be a large order!" He led Wade over to the desk and carefully picked up the gun again. "Smell it," he suggested. Wade took several whiffs and his eyes opened wide. "Cordite!" he exclaimed; "there's no odor of cordite!" "Right. That's not the gun that killed Mitchell, Wade. It hasn't been fired in a month, if then. You can detect the odor of cordite on a gun as much as ten hours after it has been fired. It was planted, see!" "Holy God!" "The shell was planted, too, Wade. It is an old one, very old." At that moment Jennings entered the room again, closely followed—crowded in fact—by the doctor, who, at first sight of the body on the floor, brushed past the hesitating butler in amazement, dropping his medicine bag to the floor. "Good old Mitchell!" he exclaimed, dropping hurriedly to his knees by the body. "Good old Mitchell!—gracious!" And then he set doggedly about making a thorough examination—the victim's eyelids, pulse, heart, the ugly little hole at his left temple . . . "How long ago do you think it happened, Doctor?" Holcomb inquired after a few minutes. "Five or six hours, at least." He nodded his grey head bitterly. "That would make it about between five and six." Holcomb reflected. "But I am astounded!" Doctor Canada exclaimed again, getting to his feet. "There was positively no earthly reason. . . . Who could have guessed it!" "It is not suicide, sir," Holcomb remarked calmly; "it is—murder!" The doctor sprang backwards in amazement. At the same time a series of deep, gurgling sounds came suddenly from across the room, and the three men swung around toward the door. It was Jennings. He was flattened up against the door, apparently frightened into hysteria, his mouth hanging loose, his eyes expanded into perfect discs, his frail body trembling. Suddenly he swung around and started fumbling with the knob frantically. Swiftly Holcomb crossed the room. "Just a minute, Jennings," he ordered. "What I have just said must not be repeated. Understand? Anyway, I think you had better remain here for the time being." "By all means!" Doctor Canada agreed. "You can't, you must not reveal this information to Grace Mitchell. I fear her present condition wouldn't stand it! . . . You will agree to this . . . please!" "I won't commit myself, doctor," was Holcomb's unexpectedly reply. "It may become necessary to talk to Mrs. Mitchell again before morning. I promise, however, to use every discretion possible. The doctor's eyes snapped. Holcomb, all sleuth now, then turned again to the cringing butler. "How many servants are there here, Jennings?" he inquired briskly. "Three . . . four, sir, beside myself." "Where can they be located now?" "Quarters or third floor, sir—two maids, a cook, and the chauffeur. I'll call them—" "Never mind." Holcomb turned to Wade. "Get them down, Wade," he said. "Send them in singly, and remain outside with them until I have talked with each one. Jennings, you will stand outside with them. . . You will be good enough to excuse yourself for a moment, Doctor?" Again Doctor Canada's eyes snapped. He had come forward and was about to speak, when suddenly the phone over on the desk rang out shrilly, taking the men by surprise—particularly Jennings. It was Holcomb who crossed the room and whisked the instrument up. And almost instantly Wade and the doctor were drawn toward the desk, too. . . . . . That expression of consternation on Holcomb's face! ! ! At this point in Hubert Holcomb's narration of the Mitchell murder case we, Miles and I, were so hopelessly engrossed in the spirit of the thing that it was some moments before we became aware that our entertainer had stopped talking and was now going leisurely about the business of filling his pipe again—so complete had been his yarn! Miles took the sudden halt seriously, however. "Mr. Holcomb," he declared, "I find you most unaccommodating! You lead us spang up the side of a cliff, as it were, anchor us securely to a rock—and then desert us!" Holcomb let out a loud howl. "For instance," Miles went on, jokingly. "Why so much mystery when a little thing like a phone rings?" Holcomb paused with his pipe and leaned far forward again at that. Miles and I waited expectantly. "It was a feminine voice that came over the wires," he said finally. "She said 'I WARNED HIM TWICE. HE IGNORED ME. IT DROVE ME TO DESPERATION!" "Well, for the love of God!"—Miles. "Extraordinary!" I agreed. Holcomb was fumbling with his pipe again. We wanted him to finish the yarn. Yet our experience with him on the previous night led us to believe that the man would continue to unravel the Mitchell Murder Case ONLY when he had finished with his pipe!

These radio stars are the most prominent Negro broad- casters on the air. They are probably better known as “The Jungle Band,” because their unique harmony and rhythm have become exclusive- ly identified with certain of the African tom-tom music. They are as heartily admired by the white as the colored people. In a recent radio popularity poll by the Daily Mirror in New York City, they were well up on the scale of votes and were ahead of many stars who were “rather good” themselves.
