THE RICHMOND PLANET Insurance Official Plunges To Death Deny Va. Elks To State Loses Right of Appeal Ends Life Because Surrender Fight In Virginia Primary Case Of Despondency VOLUME XLVII. No. 36 Insur Deny Va Surren TRUCE RUMOR DISCLAIMED Persistent reports emanating from Washington aver that peace overtures have been made by the Virginia Elks toward the Grand Lodge of Elks. Inquiry here by The Planet's representative develops the fact that there is no chance of such a proposition meeting the approval of Virginia Elks. It is claimed that the Virginia Elks have argued to compromise the suit instituted here in Judge Groner's court against the Grand Lodge, if the Grand Lodge will agree to enter into no reprisals. Prominent Elks here are indignant over the implication that they are showing the white feather and disclaim any knowledge of this new "disarmament conference." Stir Georgia G.O.P. Washington—(CNS).—Despite the statement of Chairman Huston of the Republican National Committee that he would confer with Postmaster-General Brown respecting the aspirations of M. O Dunning, black and tan representative, for place on the committee as against J. T. Rose, who left Washington before he saw Huston, a new angle has been taken through the Atlanta courts. Benjamin J. Davis as secretary and James W. Arnold, chairman, with other members of the black and tan group, have sought to have a receiver appointed to take over funds being collected in the state for party use, by Henry Davis, secretary of the group named by Postmaster-General Brown. The state Superior Court calls upon the Brown faction to show cause July 26 why the appeal should not be granted. ToHave New Head At Shaw University New York City (CNS) The trustees of Shaw University and the Home Mission Board of the Northern Baptist Convention, in joint session, have accepted the resignation of President Joseph L. Peacock, who for the past ten years has been in charge of the administration of the University. President Peacock in submitting his resignation, expressed a desire to return to the ministry—which he left in Hartford, Conn., ten years ago to take over the helm at Shaw which had just been relinquished by Dr. Chas. F. Merserve who lives at Raleigh hand is the only local member of the board of trustees. President Peacock has encountered strong opposition, from alumni who thought that the institution might not be progressing fast enough under his administration and who want the summer school and the preparatory medical schoo re-established. There has also been the suggestion from some that President Peacock remained too aloof from the student body. There has been a decided movement of late for a Negro president. It is said however, that the board will be reluctant to turn over the presidency to a Negro in view of the fact that the institution receives its support almost wholly from Northern white Baptists through their Home Mission activity. There is a little doubt that the school will enter its 1930-31 term with a new president, but none in touch with the situation would venture a guess as to whom it would be. Shaw was established at Raleigh, North Carolina, by the Northern Baptist missions board about a decade after the Civil War as a part of its general program on behalf of the Negro. It has always had a white president, and at present has also a white business manager, but most of the faculty is composed of Negroes. Negotiations are under way with the Duke Foundation for financial aid and chances are regarded as bright for the re-establishment of the medical school, abandoned about 10 years ago. The old Shaw medical school, offering a two-year course graduated some of the nation's best known Negro physicians. Three Veteran Employees To Leave Local Postoffice To Renew Primary Test In High Court Washington—(CNS.)—A petition has been filed in the United States Supreme Court for a ruing as to whether state political party organizations may lawfully prohibit Negroes from participating in their primaries. The case comes from Arkansas, J. M. Robinson and others living in Little Rock said they voted the Democratic ticket and were consistent supporters of the party platforms. They protested against being barred from the Democratic primaries in November 1928, obtained a temporary injunction and voted before the state courts could hear the case on its merits. The Arkansas Supreme Court later set aside the temporary injunction and dismissed the proceedings, taking the position that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, under which the Negroes claim they had the right to vote at Democratic primaries, referred only to what states were prohibited from doing in the way of restricting the voting rights of Negroes and did not apply to party organizations. In March, 1927, the United States Supreme Court in a suit from El Paso, Tex., brought by L. A. Nixon, held invalid a Texas statute prohibiting Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries. The oinion was delivered by Justice Holmes. It declared the Texas law a direct and obvious infringement of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Arkansas Supreme Court declared the Nixon decision did not prohibit a political organization from determining its own membership or from deciding who it would permit to vote at its primaries. Pointing out the uniform success of the Democratic candidates in the Arkansas elections, the protestants claimed that being denied the right to vote in the primaries deprived them of their most important constitutional right. Three Veteran To Leave L E. R. Carter, Andrew Chiles Pensioned After Three prominent employees of the local postoffice department will leave the postal service soon, it is learned, having been honorably retired on pensions by the Federal Government after a continuous service of four decades. Two of these gentlemen, Mr. E. R. Carter and Mr. Andrew J. Brown served in the capacity of clerks in the main postoffice and had a service record of more than forty years each. Col. John R. Chiles record as a carrier extends over a period of nearly forty years. Messrs. Brown and Carter entered the postal service when they were serving in the Richmond City Council; Mr. Brown as a member of the Board of Aldermen and Mr. Carter in the Common Council. Mr. Brown was vice to the Grand Eyalted Ruler of Elks for years and was a strong candidate for the honors of Grand Exalted Ruler at one time. Col. Chiles is prominent in Pythian affairs, having been an officer in the Virginia Grand Lodge for more than twenty years. He is also noted for his appeal to the Department at Washington in defense of the rights of carriers here. National Ideal To Meet In Phila., Pa. The National Ideal Benefit Society will hold its 18th Annual Convention in Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 2-3-4, 1930, at the First Colored Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, corner 15th and Lombard Sta. To Test White Primary Regulation Washington—(CNS)—Luthee Wiley, acting for a group of San Antonio Negroes is seeking in a Federal Court in Texas to restrain Governor Moody, Attorney-General Bobbitt and D. W. Wilcox, chairman of the Democratic State Executive State Executive Committee from enforcing the "white man's primary" law. The law allows the state committee to determine the qualifications of voters. Under a ruling of the committee, Negroes are to be barred from participation in the coming primary, as they have been barred in the past. A recent United States Circuit Court opinion holding unconstitutional a similar primary law in Virginia is believed by committeemen to have inspired this action in behalf of Texas Negroes. ANOTHER SCHOOL PROVIDED FOR ATALANTA GROUP Commondious Walker Street Plant Assigned To Colored Children; Welcome Releif Of Congestion Anticipated Atalanta, Ga., July-By unanimous vote of the City Board of Education, the valuable Walker Street School property has been designated for use hereafter as a Negro School, a step of great importance which will go far to relieve the present congestion in nearby colored schools. The plant is modern, commodious and in good repair and will provide for many hundreds of pupils. The Board's action rewards long and persistent effort on the part of the local interracial committee, the Christian Council, and other public-spirited groups and individuals. The transfer of the property was recommended alos by the city suerintendent of schools, Dr. Willis A. Sutton, who has shown himself at all tittes fair-minded and impartial in his administration of the city schools. hppdorrellOapcaaolga shrd etaol eta et Very elaborate preparations are being made for the coming event, by the local district.

RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1930 Decision of Circuit Dry Agents "Pad" Court Binding New Church The State of Virginia lost the right to appeal the Democratic Primary case to the U. S. Supreme court, owing to the fact of a 40 days elapsed to present the brief. This makes the ruling of the circuit court binding which states that "The Democratic party of Virginia had no right to bar Negroes and other races from its primary. The ruling confirms the decision of the district court hre in the case of James O. West as. A. C. Bilel, William Boltz and William Richer. The three defendants were democratic judges in the precinct in which West livd. West was refused the right to participate in the Democratic primary for selection of nominees as city officials of Richmond on April 3, 1928, on the grounds that the plan of the Democratic party adopted June 11, 1924, imited the right to participate in the primaries to white persons. N. Y. Judgeship Fight Waxes Hot New York City (CNS) In the new Municipal Court district in Harlem recently created by the New York Legislature, two colored men will sit as justices. The Republican organization has selected Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers, a graduate of Yale College and of the Harvard Law School; and Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, as its candidates. The Tammy organization selected assistant corporation counsel James B. Watson, and Attorney Toney, as its designees. Both sides are optimistic as to the outcome. But there seems to be a wheel within a wheel. Harlemites may not have to wain until the November election to see a hot night but may witness it in the propriies of September 16. Assemblyman Lamar Perkins, a graduate of Lincoln University and the Harvard Law School has thrown his hat in the ring and is running as an independent candidate for the Republican nomination. He assisted Assemblyman Rivers in putting the bill creating a new Municipal Court District in Harlem thru the State Legislature. Col. Charles Gillmore, chairman of the Nineteenth Assembly district committee and Mr. Charles W. B. P. Mitehell, chairman of the Twenty-first Assembly district county committee are leading the fight for Messrs. Rivers and Hawkins. Attorney Robert R. Peum, ad of the board of trustees of man of Assemblyman Perkin's campaign committee. So it looks as if September primaries will prove to be very interesting. Kip Rhinelander Settles With Alice New York (ANP) Victory for Kip was read in the meaning of the latest news of the most sensational divorce suit of the country when it became known finally that Alice had agreed, through her attorneys, to accept the sum of $31,500, and a monthly allowance of $300 payable every three months, to grant her unwilling husband his longed-for freedom. Variously estimated at from $100,00 to $1,000,000, the pittance the colored girl received has caused speculation as to the "terms" of her agreement. Some declare that she will receive further compensation for freeing the son of the bluebloods, yet there is no word from the office of her attorneys in confirmation of this. The victory was possible only because Kip wisely advised by his attorneys to remain in Las Vegas indefinitely was not forced to pay Alice alimony since his Nevada divorce. The payments of $233 monthly which had been made Alice prior to the divorce, had ceased altogether with the granting of divorce, but under the new agreement, the alimony is increased, and Kip gets his freedom and the elder Rhinelander a release from the threatened suit by Alice for one million dollars. "Can't Be Beat" Says, Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson "Little Napoleon" Commends Grand Lodge Convention Committee for Splendid Preparations JerseyCity, N. J. (CNS) The members of St. Paul Baptist Church located at 273 Washington Street, were without their Sunday services on July 13. It was to have been a big day, with dedication and opening ceremonies at the Washington Street building which was recently acquired for use as a church. But a large padlock hung on the front door. Tw federal agents vsted the church Saturday night and placed padlock on the door, the charge being that Charles Ryan, who formerly used the structure for a restaurant, had sold beer on the premises. Ryan moved his restaurant out of the building over a year ago, it is said, and just recently the owner, James P. Mechan, leased it to the Baptist congregation for use as a church. The church officers spent a tidy sum in refinishing the place. A large number of out-of-town guests had been invited to come to Jersey City and participate in the dedication and opening. Mechan, the owner, through his attorney will make an effort to have the padlock removed. It is hinted that the new padlock order was inspired by whites who did not twan the church organization to move into the building. The New York Herald Tribune in editorial comment on the incident said: "The rigid legalism of those charged with the enforcement of prohibition rather more frequently than not transends their discretion. To put a padlock for a year on premises in Jersey City rented to a Negro Baptist congregation and already renovated and furnished at considerably sacrifice to its members seems to be a case in point. The law may be "a ass," as Sam Weeeler sagely remarked, but why advertise the fact in this stentorian fashion?" Detroit, Mich., July—(By The Associated Negro Press) "There's no such animal as my successor," said J. Finley Wilson here Wednesday night "I'm not going to run this year; I'm going to stand and be reelected by acclamation." With his usual cock-sureness and the characteristic Finley Wilson egoism the Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks of the World made these the closing words of a one-hour talk to the grand lodge convention committee and officials of the various Elk lodges and temples which comprise greater Detroit Elkdom at Wolverine, lodge room. The "Little Napoleon" was making his final pre-convention visit here for the specific purpose of summing up the work of the grand lodge convention committee preparatory to the convention here in August. Wilson was loud in his praise and commendation of the work done here and expressed himself as being both pleased and surprised at the large amount of ready cash on hand raised during "these hard times" and this very serious economical depression. Just whether or not the "grand" was exaggerating and wished to rub the fur of the committee in the right direction in order to hear it purr is not known, but he stated it as a fact when he said that no other city previous to this has had as much money to start the Convention off, and it looks, he said, as if Detroit will realize a tidy sum, says $50,000 on the right side of the ledger instead of showing a deficit like most cities after the convention. And the committee did purr, loud and long. To strengthen this statement Finley produced a bill for $250 sent to him from Chicago for drinking water consumed by the 1,200 grand lodge delegates to the Elks national conti- nion, at Wendell Phillips High Clinton Johnson Drowns Mr. Clinton Johnson, of the 2700 block P. St., was drowned Sunday noon at Riverside Park on the James. Mr. Johnson was in bathing with three companions when he is said to have suffered an attack of cramps and disappeared before his companions could rescue him. His body was not recovered until Tuesday evening and he was buried Wednesday in Evergreen Cemetery. Anthony Overton Visits Richmond Insurance Magnate's First Time On Old Dominion Soil Mr. Anthony Overton, President of the Victory Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Ill., paid a flying visit to Richmond on Friday of last week, and was entertained by Manager John Nebletet of the local office. A luncheon was served at Slaughters Cafe, at which time prominent local insurance men met Mr. Overton and exchanged greetings. Mr. Overton made a short talk and expressed himself as being pleased with his first visit to Virginia. Mr. Overton is also president of the Douglas National Bank, the only Negro national bank in America, and president of the Overton Hygienic Company, which manufactures and sells chemical products. He is one of the foremost business pioniers of the race and tto hear him on any occasion is an inspiration for anyone. it" Says, Grand or Finley Wilson ends Grand Lodge Con- Splendid Preparations school in that city in 1928. Wilson is having a picture made of the bill which picture he says will be placed in the archives of Elkdom. When asked by the Associated Negro Press representative if he anticipated any serious opposition in his fight for re-election to the grand exalted rulership, Wilson replied, 'As far as I know, there won't be any, and if I knew it would be all the same, for he wouldn't have a ghost of a chance to win. And as for fight, we don't fight anymore. In fact, they can't get anybody to oppose me now," he continued, "for they all know that I am like the tree planted by the water: I cannot be moved," he said with a hearty laugh. Irvington-On-The Hudson For Sale New York (ANP) Social satellites are agog over the announced offering for sale of the famous Villa Lewara, country home of the late Madam C. J. Walker, erected on Broadway, Irvington-Hudson at a cost estimated well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, the mansion is listed with several brokers for sale at about $275,000. Following Mme. Walker's death, the estate with other properties was willed to her daughter in 1919. However, the daughter, Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Kennedy has spent most of her time since her mother's death in an apartment in Harlem. The expense of maintaining the villa caused her to offer it for sale, it was said. Many famous colored people have been entertained at the mansion by Mme. Walker's daughters, but its distance from the city and the complete isolation prevented it becoming a rendezvous for the social set. No buyers had been reported. LIVED 2 HOURS AFTER LEAP Mr. John B. Smith, home office superintendent of the Southern Aid Society leaped over 90 feet to his death about 9:45 o'clock Thursday morning from the First-street bridge, overlooking the Happyland Amusement Center. He suffered a broken left leg, several broken ribs a fractured skull, and other injuries. Early morning bathers at Happland and a number of people passing by, saw the man climb over the bridge and plunge to the ground, he was picked up still alive and carried to the St. Philips Hospital where he died at 11:30 A. M., surviving nearly two hours after the plunge. Mr. Smith had been in bad health for some time having spent several days in the Richmond Hospital on E Baker St. He was released last Friday, his physical condition, greatly improved. Friends had noted for some time that Mr. Smith seemed greatly depressed about something and a note found in his jacket stated that he intended taking his own life because of depression. He lived at 608 North First street about 8 blocks from the bridge. Miss Lillian Booker, a neighbor of Smith's saw him pass her house about 9 headed for the bridge, she was greatly impressed by Smith because he spoke so cheerily to her, when heretofore he had seemed so gloomy and would hardly speak. Smith was 45 years of age, survived by his widow, Mrs. Amanda Wilson Smith. Commission Headed By Moton Back After Steerage Trip Washingtng, (CNS.)—Hot, tired, filled with strange experiences and a story which they must submit to their chairman for editing for the President, the Haytian Commission, headed by Dr. R. R. Moton, arrived in the United States, after an uncomfortable voyage on the steamship Cristobal of the Panama line. Though Dr. Moton notified the State Department here, some ten days before sailing that his group had completed their survey and would return, no provision that was satisfactory to them was made by the government. Forced to secure passage on a crowded commercial liner, the members of the commission were so housed below decks as to suffer severely from the heat and on deck and in saloons from the noise and the conduct of the passengers that they could do no work on their reports as planned. The last days spent on shipboard were used in making an impression upon their fellow passengers. Dr. Moton led the group in singing spirituals and Dr. Mordecal Johnson read from Dunbar's poems. According to Carl Murphy representing the colored press, a member of the party, trouble is brewing in Hayti over the educational situation and the return of General Russell, who has been serving as high commissioner with the U. S. Marines to support him. "Ampie, Ampie, who is that you are Chasing? Don't strip that man before the public! It is that Church Fighter; he attackt me. I'll make him "bite the dust."

"The Soul's Growing Pains." (The Pastor's Vacation Farewell) 8:15 P.M. COMMUNION. Come Early for the Morning Prayer You are Welcome THE PLANET Bleaase's Psychology By JOE SIMPSON The majority of the members of the Negro press sees to be somewhat "het-up" over the statement made by Cole-Blease, Senator from South Carolina, who is seeking re-election to the United States Senate from that state. The statement made by Blease at Union regarding the constitution and the Negro, is no more than an accurate index of what the average white man (southern) thinks. Blease having been Governor of the state knows what the average South Carolinian thinks, he therefore dishes out the hash to suit the tastes and whims of his constituents. Anyone knowing Blease, knows that he is a great talker and that he talks much that he can not justify by his past behaviour. At the present day Cole Blease is almost as popular among the Negroes of South Carolina as among the whites, principally because they judge Blease by his actions rather than by his words. If the senate is not in accord with the mental attitude expressed by Blease it has as much right to refuse to seat him as it did to refuse to seat Vare. No such thing will happen. Because there is no public demand for any such action. Howling about such things will not get action in matters of this kind,_ the Negro mus hhow by his actions that he resents such statements, especially whe nthey come from men whose sworn duty it is to uphold the fundamental principles as laid down in the constitution and the basic law of the land. JIM-CRGW AL-A GOVERN- That the Negro Gold Star Mothers were jim-crowed and sent to France on a combination freight and passenger steamer, is hardly more than was to be anticipated, in view of the fact that the United States government traches this sameful art in all its dealings with the Negro. There is no branch of the United States government that does not practice color discrimination. This being a fact it is most unwise for us to expect the War Department to deviate from the rule just to satisfy a few disgruntled Negroes, when the disgruntled them in disregard. We may cry and yell about the injustices metted out to us by the government, state and city officials and others until our tongues hang out without seeing any improvement in the condition of the Negro in this country. Before existing conditions will ever be remedied, before the the Negro will ever be considered more than mere chattel, and his wishes and demans respected, the Negr omust come to a full realization of his strength, and use the same to his advantage. The Negro forms a mass in this country that if spurred to activity would form a bloc that would be desired and courted by any political party; he is a great sleeping giant that if awakened will be a formidable foe against tyranny and oppression, as practiced in the United States of America, the country whose practices and policies are held out to other countries as the criterion of governments, and forced on those countries adjacent to it who are unable to defend themselves. WHY "CUSS" THE CHURCH? By R. A. Adams. (The Literary Service Bureau) He is a Negro business man. A minister went in to discuss a business matter. For some inconceivable reason he became irate and without any provocation remarked heatedly, "I suppose the work is for the church; and the church always wants something for nothing." The minister—well, he had to pray for self-control, for he began to experience the Simon Peter temper only his temptation was to use his fist rather than a sword. No business man in the world owes so much to the church as the Negro business man, and no one is so completely dependent upon the church as All communications intended for publication should reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post-office at Richmond Virginia, as second class matter. RIALS is he. __early all Negro lodges were born in the church. Nearly all Negro professionals were educated in schools supported by the churches. A large majority of professionals have profited by introductions in churches, and endorsement by ministers. __ine-tenths of the patrons of almost any business enterprise are members of churches. A boycott by the Negro churches of any community would spell absolute and irreparable ruin. Under the conditions it is an act of grossest ingritude to insult the church; and if the church should show disposition to retaliate, it would be a little less than suicide, to pursue such a course. Of course ministers and churches should be charitable but it might be well, at some times to chastise some of these bigots by withdrawing patronage—at east for n season. Then, would the creature remember its obligations to its creator. MYTHS AND MORALS By A. B. Mann. Ormuzd and Ahriman (The Literary Service Bureau). According to the conception of Zoroastrianism, ancient religion of the Persians, human life and conduct were influenced and determined by two antagonistic and antithetical forces or principles which they called Ormuzd, spirit of good, and Ahriman, the spirit of evil. Each of these forces struggled for dominion in every life, and a life was beneficent and utilitarian or malevolent and destructive, as it wah dominated by one or the other of these principles. This was but a dim vision of the truth of the good and evil propensities inherent in humanity—of the dual nature of every man resulting from what is termed "The Fall of Man." Every man is a fictional Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. There is a scriptural verification in the declaration of the Apostle Paul. "When I would do good evil is present. The things that I would I do not, and the things that I would not I do. Ahriman, influenced when the prodigal son left hme; and Ormusd influenced when his better nature gained control and he left the far country and went back. The individuals out of whom devils were cast were under control of the Ahriman spirit of evil, and whom the evil spirit was cast out the Ormusd influence again dominated. Personally useful, usefulness, human helpfulness, all are pendant on the domination of Ormusd. The human will, not stars, is the factor which decides which element shall control—and thus decides human destiny. Paraphrasing, "To be or not to be" (controlled by Ahriman or Ormusd) "that is the question." BROTHERS. By R. A. Adams.

Federal Judge Upholda Primary Law El Paso, Texas (ANP) Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States has on another occasion rendered a decision declaring the democratic law which prevents Negroes from voting in the Democratic primary in Texas invalid, Judge C.A. Boynton of the United States District Court Saturday declared that the Democratic executive committee had a right to bar Negroes from participation in the party primaries. The case grew out of the application of Luther Wiley on San Antonio for an injunction restraining the Boxar County Democratic executive committee from barring him from participation in the primaries which will be held July 26. In his petition, Wiley declared that the barring of Negroes was contrary to the constitution of the United States and the former decision of the United States Supreme Court. Judge Boynton dismissed the application, ruling that the disqualification of Negroes by the Democrats was not an action of the state but of private individuals. Although the state executive committee has passed resolutions denying the Negro citizens the right to vote in the forthcoming primaries, county committees of Val Verdo and McClennan counties have voted to comply with the ruling of the United States Supreme Court and to permit Negro citizens the right to vote. While no announcement was made by Wiley immediately after the decision was handed down against him, it is believed that he will appeal the decision before the State Supreme Court and if necessary carry the case to the highest tribunal.

Personals Konjola Konjola By Far Best Medicine I Ever Tried Many who have found new and glorious health in Konjola, the new and different medicine, marvel that any medicine could work so quickly and yet so thoroughly in relieving the ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and in putting an end to rheumatism, neuritis, and nervousness. Yet it is ot strange after all, for Konjola's 32 ingredients—22 of them the juices of roots and herbs—attack at their very source the very causes of the ills Konjola is designed to relieve. high, and many lost weight an made me tired feared I never Consider the fine experience of Mrs. Lena Williams, 627 North Fifth street, Richmond. Think what Konjola did for her and then determine to get all the facts about this amazing medicine. Visit the Konjola Man t the People's Service drug store, 101 East Broad street, and hear how Konjola cleanses and stimulate the ailing organs; how it rids the system of poisons and impurities. But right now . . . before you do anything else . . . read what Mrs. Williams, well known church worker, said to the Konjola Man: "Konjola is by far the best medicine I ever tried. I had a severe case of dizziness and a throbbing pain in the back of my head. These annoyed me constntly for two years. My bowels did not function properly; I was told my blood pressure was Chain Store Head Praises Race Clerks Chicago, July—By The Associated Negro (Press).—Expressing the opinion that the experiment of using colored girl salesgirls in their 47th street store, here, had proven a decided success, J. M. Neisner, treasurer of Neisner Brothers, Incorporated, of Rochester, N. Y., the chain store magnates, after a tour of inspection of the busy establishment, said that wherever their organization had stores similarly situated, said that wherever their organization had stores similarly situated the same policy of employment would be followed. Neisner Brothers have forty employees in their 48th street store all but six of whom are colored. The personnel of our store in the colored district measures up to all the standards we require," said Neisner. "The girls are neat, alert, intelligent, loyal and seemingly in love with their work. Ability knows no color line, and we regard the patrons of a neighborhood from which we draw support entitled to the employment opportunities which we can give." Man Lives 5 Months With Pierced Heart Ansonia, Conn., July — By The Associated Negro Press)—The medical world has been somewhat concerned over the case of James Bryant, brass foundry worker. Five months ago Bryant was shot through the heart during a street brawl. He was taken to the hospital, and although he recovered and returned to work, he died of heart failure. Bryant, who is of great age, is said to have lifted his assailant over his head and dashed him to the ground. He then walked three blocks before collapsing. The other man was given a prison sentence for disturbing the peace. Says Doctors Aid Insurance Frauds Chicago, July —(By The Associated Negro Press)—"One of the greatest di...culties facing the Norgro Insurance company," said Dr. L. T. Burbridge, president of the National Negro Insurance Association on a visit here this week," is the fraudulent claims which are made against it by policy holders, particularly those carrying sick or industrial policies. The protection guaranteed by insurance companies is for those who are honestly incapacitated. It has become a common practice, however, for people of a certain type who happen to be out of work or who have learned to make a practice of defrauding to make claims when nothing is the matter with them. This would not be possible if physicians would not lend themselves to the scheme. A number of doctors both white and colored, however, will sign certificates without sufficient examination and in some cases without even seeing the person who claims to be ill. In New Orleans the practice has become so vicious that we are attempting to establish a clearing house among the colored companies to pass on claims and avoid duplication, while we are considering asking the legislature to make signing an application fraudulently, a misdemeanor." high, and many a day I had to remain in bed. I lost weight and strength, and the least exertion made me tired. My condition was such that I feared I never would be any stronger. A friend begged me to try Konjola. I was reluctant but, believe me, before I had finished the first bottle I knew I had found the right medicine. "Six bottles of this famous medicine made a well woman of me. Though I am a grand-mother I feel like I was twenty. My friends are amazed at my improved condition. Dizzy speaks gone and the pain in my head has disappeared. I can never give Konjola enough praise, and I shall bless this medicine to my dying day." Thus Konjola works; swiftly yet thoroughly, but a treatment of from six to eight bottles is strongly recommended. Konjola is for the aged or the infant; for all the family. The Konjola Man is at the People's Service Drug Store, 101 East Broad street, where daily he is meeting the public and explaining the merits of this new and different medicine. WEEKLY MESSAGE FOR BOYS By Dr. A. G. Bearer. The Boy Who Shattered Idols. (The Literary Serve Bureau.) Text: And he broke into pieces all Having discovered the Book of the of the images—II Kings 23.4. Law and read it, King Josiah urged Israel to repentance. As evidence of their return to allegiance to Jehovah, the king had all of the images to be utterly destroyed. Every boy is a king; he has a klingdom; he has the rulership of his own thoughts and actions—the activities of his own life. Reading the Book of the Law he will discover his duty. Self-examination will reveal the existence of idols in his break the idols existing. There are two chiefs idols. Self is a destructive idol. Because of indulgence by parents and relatives, the possession of necessities and comforts and because of prominence of his family in the community, often a boy forms too high an estimate of himself. This leads to seifishness and indifference to the welfare of others. Before he can be his best and o his best, he must shatter this idol and see his duty toward others. Pleasure is another formidable idol. There are boys who place pleasure above everything else—that make it an idol and subordinate everything else to it. There is a place for pleasure in every boy's life. There is truth in that old maxim, "All work and no play will make Jack a dull boy." But excess of pleasure is destructive. Worshipping pleasure a boy neglects duty, wastes time, and often wrecks health and character. Idols in the life of a boy, are fragile things, easily broken. But allowed to remain they take on greater proportions and get a stronger hol don his life. This necessitates that in days of youth he should shatter all such idols and let truth and righteousness, justice and right, be the dominant forces of his heart and life. I would commend to every boy Ecclesiastes 12:1—Remember, now the creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.

MAXIE MILLER WRITES The Age-Old Story—"Not Wisely, but Too Well"—The Conglomerate Thing Called Love—Erring Woman as Good as Erring Man. (Note: For advice on various problems write to Maxie Miller, care Literary Service Bureau, 634 Franklin Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply send postage.) (The Literary Service Bureau) Here is a letter, a sad one, and it tells the same old story of man's unfairness and the danger of woman's surrender even to what in her heart is genuine love. Here is the letter: Dear Maxie Miller: You are helping many and I wonder if you can help me. I wonder if it is too late to salvage this wreck" as I heard a preacher say. My case is one of the many who as I have read, "Loved not wisely, but too well—and you know the rest. But, Maxie Miller, he was just the nicest, dearest, most affectionate boy that ever lived. Anybody would have fallen in love with him and under the spell of his love, any girl would have believed him and trusted him. We were engaged and I am sure he was sincere. We did not get married because his income was too small to support two. He loved me; petted me; and made me crazy. It was not his fault, for I was willing to make the surrender believing that would tie him to me and hold him until we could be married. But that is the tie that will not bind. He was just the same for a while, then it seemed his love began to wane, and while I loved him more and made no effort at restraint, he seemed to love me less. He seemed to tire of our love exercises; his visits became less frequent; he was les sardent; we quarreled; and finally he went away. I love this boy and I believes he loves me, but I cannot understand whe he acted that way. I can't get him off my mind. I am sure I can never love another, but if I did I'd be ashamed to accept love and marriage, after what has been between me and this boy. "What shall I do? is my question. Forsaken. Dear forsaken: You are just one of the many of your kind, and I suppose there will be many more, until women learn to place honor and right above that conglomerate thing which they mistake for love. You confess you made willing surrender. It had been better to get married the you were poor as the fiction "church did. Now, if this boy loves you as you believe, he will rue what he has done, come back to you and offer to marry you, and do his best to make you happy. It not, forget him; let your heart heal; wait for a more worthy love and then profit by this experience. As to being ashamed to accept love and marriage the chances are that any man who would love you and marry you would have had "affairs" and despite your mistake you'd be as fit for him as he would be for you. "Let bygones be bygones;" look toward the future; there is happiness for you; take it; use it; enjoy it. Look up! Maxie Miller.

LYNCHINGS RETALIATION FOR New York, July 18.—“You have had in the United States, Since Parker’s defeat l1 ynchings, and you will have more” shouted Cole Blease in Unios, S. C. on July 7, according to the Columbia, S. C. State. Confirmation is thus given to what has been generally believed by intelligent observers that the mobs depend on the success in the campaign against confirmation, against John J. 10 quids aq usnna oj 1000 uu uParker, and resorted to mob terrorism Negroes. “Whenever the 'Negro press' and nigger association’ are to tell me how to vote,” the South Carolina Senator declares, “then I ask my God to deprive me of the right to vote. White supremacy, and the protection of the virtue of the white womanhood of the South come first with me.” Is this fashion BBlase resorts to his usual tactics in dragging the sex question into every aspect of the Negro’s struggle for his rights. A front page editorial in the Columbia State and the Charleston News and Courier of July 9, declares; "South Carolina Democrats cannot renominate Senator Blease this year without endorsing lynching. "There is no way of getting out of it. The News and Courier regrets that the issue has been made. The people cannot reselect Mr. Blease without endorsing lynching. Mr. Blease's speech was not so intended, but it was the greatest contributions to the propaganda of Northern Negro agitators and especially the Society for the Advancement of the Colored People that has been made in twenty years. They will say when the bill to try chers in federal courts shall come up again; if South Carolina shall reelect Mr. Blease; "Look at South Carolina. As a state it endorses lynching. With white judges, white sheriffs, with courts and government all white, and no Negroes on juries, it still endorses lynching. Senator Blease challenged the people to reject or endorse his advocacy of it. It is the duty of the Congress, of the Un-ited States, to protect the lives of its citizens. Shall the courts and the laws of a state that endorses lynching in a state-wide election be trusted to protect the lives of American citizens? That will be the argument for a law to transfer trials of lynchers to United States courts How can any senator or congressman of South Carolina answer Across the state line in Georgia, John M. Slaton, ex-Governor and candidate for the United States Senate is devoting much of his campaign to an attack on Praekr. In his campaign speeches and Senator Harris for votis against Judge-padi advertisements, Slaton is giving much advertisising to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. In an advertisement in the Greensboro, Georgia, Herald Journal, Mr. Slaton declares: "An intelligenl intelligent man who was in the Senate anhired the debate ought to have known the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People defeated him beause Judge Parker declared Negroes ought not to participate in politics. "The result of the Parker rejection is that the Negro newspapers of the North gleefully proclaimed their victory over Parker and declared that hencefth the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amesements shall be enforced. may mean in the future to the South I do not know.

This camp store handles groceries, overalls, shirts, and other vital necessities and the tickets are punched as things are bought. On pay day the balance due is paid in cash. Goods are not cheap at the commissary—not on your old-fashioned tintype—and a man and woman with several children have to shave under the hide if they have any coin due on pay day. Naturally not very much cash can be expected, as the wages of ordinary labor is is $1.25 a day, or once in a while during extra-good times, $1.50. This is the price paid gum chippers, tree tappers and other common labor. Experienced still helpers and teamsters sometimes draw two and a half or three dollars a day. Their number is limited. It is no wonder, therefore, that pay day is the bright spot of the month—the family pot and frying pan are 1.01 even helped by a garden.

The workmen in these camps have their own unique and interesting code of life. This article was prepared exclusively for the Illustrated Feature Section. it was never cleared into farms. There are no gardens at Bear Creek camp. Bear Creek and other turpentine camps are not collections of ents as might be inferred—the living quarters are dilapidated, ramshackle box houses furnished by the owner of the camp. The last wages were paid about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. While it was going on white sick-and-acident insurance agents, and other small-time installment collectors, hung around with the tenacity of fleas in sheepskins so they would not miss their doles. A brown-skinned girl who sold cosmetics—stuff for straightening hair, lipsticks, rouge, cold creams and perfumes was on the job. She had been visiting the camp on pay day for some time. The men folks called her "Brownskin." In the afternoon parties of men and women, boys and girls, went to town in trucks in use at the camp and those who owned automobiles, which were old and rattly, drove themselves to town. All returned by dark. When the crowd came back, powerful "shine" came back with it. It was made from either corn or joint-cane syrup, or joint-cane syrup skimmings, and had a kick like a Missouri mule charged with lightning. Everybody took a healthy drink. There might have been an Cle exception or two but it is doubtful—no enumerator would have worn out the point of his fountain pen tallying the number. By 8 o'clock, therefore, everybody was in the seventh heaven of delight—they were at least as high as the tree-tops and were eagles instead of mud-puddle ducks.

The women were dressed in their best clothes and rushed proudly from house to house to exhibit them. All painted and powdered and lipsticked. Even the old women had their faces covered with rouge, and frolicked around like 16-year-olds, trying to vamp the men in order to wheedle them out of some of their pay day money. Lucy Price flirted openly with Ginger Linn while Slim Price flirted, though not quite so openly, with "Brownskin." Slim feared his wife's keen-cutting butcher knife. Other men and women baited each other in the same manner. Old man Trouble stayed away, too, at least in the early part of the evening. Bear Creek camp has no jook house—dance hall and gambling dive—but the crowd always finds a floo where it can dance to the tunes made by Henry Robinson's fiddle and Sam Markham's banjo. The evening was brightened still more by a wedding—Buck Middleton, the boss of the camp, married Bud Phillips and Sookie Keen by reading a few paragraphs from the Saturday Evening Post. No license was necessary. The crowd wnooped and laughed, but gave no special indications that anything unusual in the wedding ceremony was noticed.

ON the island of Jamaica lives a people whose history is as full of courage, daring and romance as any other heroic group in history. Theirs is but drawn on a smaller canvas, that is all. Known as the Maroons, or hog hunters, they were fugitive slaves, often but newly brought from Africa. For one hundred and forty-one years they resisted all efforts at subjugation and forced the government to make terms with them and grant them what was practically independence. of the white population had joined the Maroons with a great store of arms and ammunition, including four cannon. It seemed as if the English were about to be pushed off the island. If the other slaves followed, nothing could save them for they were great In their struggle for freedom, the Maroons had a handicap that few, if any, of the great heroic groups of history, like the Spartans, the Swiss, the Scotch Highlanders, or the American Colonists, encountered. They had to capture from the enemy the weapons with which they fought. Wholly illiterate, living in the mountains, there was no other way to obtain arms and ammunition. All they knew of the maufacture of arms was the making of bullets, and even then they were forced to capture the lead. Cudjoe Ugly and Misshapen Of their many leaders, the greatest was Captain Cudjoe, a wholly untaught Coromantee, ragged, barefooted into whose stumpy and unshapely frame there burned the fire of almost inchaustible energy and in whose bullet heat there resided all the qualities of a great commander. He defeated the English in every encounter and there is good reason to believe that had he been better able to get supplies, he would have driven them from the island like another Dessalines. The incidents leading up to Captain Cudjoe are briefly these: When the English took Jamaica from the Spaniards, the latter escaped to Cuba, leaving their slaves behind. These slaves fled to the high mountains and tangled forests in the interior. Here they were reinforced by the runaway slaves of the English. A good many of these fugitives were Coromantees, one of the most war-like of all peoples. Spurning the taming influence of the religion of the white man, they held to the worship of their own god, Obi. Later, the Jamaican slaveholders were forced to bar their importation. At first they roved in bands, descending on the English settlements when they needed clothes and ammunition, plundering and killing in true Highlander fashion and dashing back to their mountain fastnesses, almost before the alarm could be given. Head Sent to Governor Their greatest chief at this period was St. Juan de Bolas. But after eight years of warfare, he finally made terms with the British and was given a large sum of money and much land. The others held out, rejecting all offers. To each had been promised a sum of money and 20 acres of land. But were they not already in possession of some of the finest land of the island? Besides, they felt that the word of the slaveholder could not be trusted. Once yield and it was only a matter of time when they would be slaves again. It may be added that they had abundant cause for mistrust. Finally St. Juan da Bolas was induced to lead an expedition against them, but his forces were cut to pieces, and his own head sent as a present to the governor. After this, the Maroons became more aggressive. It seemed that nothing could be done to prevent their attacks. Mixing with the slaves in the markets and other places, they would learn all the movements of the masters and the best time to strike. Descending in the dead of night, and sometimes even in daylight, on a plantation or a small town, they would kill all the white persons and faithful blacks, and after freeing the others would burn the buildings and the crops. For more than twenty years this went on. Then an incident occurred that forced the government to make a concentrated attack on them. The slaves in one of the parishes had risen en masse and after a massacre Origin of the Maroons Head Sent to Governor International Correspondent. lives a people whose history is ing and romance as any other v. Theirs is but drawn on a of the white population had joined the Maroons with a great store of arms and ammunition, including four cannon. It seemed as if the English were about to be pushed off the island. If the other slaves followed, nothing could save them, for they were greatly outnumbered by blacks. Cudjoe Unites Powerful Maroons A powerful expedition now marched into the mountains, guided by Indians and faithful slaves and exterminated several bands of Maroons. It was then that they saw the need for union and readily listened to Cudjoe, who forthwith united all fugitive "They Would Ki A man is being beaten by another man.

As chief aides he had his brothers, Johnny and Accompong. They began, in the words of Dallas, an English writer of those days (History of the Maroons), "a regular and connected system of warfare and in their frequent skirmishes with the troops sent against them, acquired an art of attack and defense in the difficult and inaccessible fortresses of the interior of the island which has so often foiled the best exertions of disciplined bravery. Description of the Maroons "In their person and carriage," continues Dallas, "the Maroons were erect and lofty, indicating a consciousness of superiority. Vigor appeared upon their muscles and their motions displayed ability. Their eyes ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 26, 1930 THEY FOUGHT LIKE DEMONS "They Would Kill All the White Persons and Faithful Blacks" Ragged and Misshapen, Cudjoe, Commander of a Stalwart Tribe, Defied were quick, wild and fiery, the whites to attack them in order to get the of them appearing a little red, owing, wherewithal to resist them. were quick, wild and fiery, the whites of them appearing a little red, owing, perhaps, to the greenness of the wood they burned. They possessed most, if not all, of the senses in a superior degree. They were accustomed to discover from habit in the woods objects which white people of the best sight could not distinguish, and their hearing was so wonderfully quick that it enabled them to elude their most active pursuers. "In character, language and manners they resembled those Negroes on the estates of the planters that were descended from the same race of Africans, but on closer inspection displayed a striking distinction in their personal appearance, being blacker, taller, and in every respect, handsomer. Y FOUGHT LIKE DEMI "They were seldom surprised. They communicated with one another by means of horns, and when these could scarcely be heard by other people, they distinguished the order the sounds conveyed. It is very remarkable that the Maroons had a particular call upon the horn for each individual by which he was summoned from a distance as easily as he would have been spoken to had he been near." Add to this the fact that they were unerring marksmen, the lack of ammunition having made them so. Cudjoe Wins Decisive Victory With his band of mountaineers now nearly a thousand strong, Cudjoe made raid after raid into the white settlements. In fact, he was forced to do so, for as long as the English hunted him he was compelled At last, in 1730, the government made a supreme effort to defeat him. Settlers were being frightened away and few could be induced to come out, all because of a comparative handful of runaway blacks, which, once driven into the open, could be shot down with ease, badly armed as they were. It began by building forts and outposts near the Maroon settlements, during which time the builders were ceaselessly harassed by Cudjoe. Indians from Central America were brought over in large numbers to track them down, and a force of nearly a thousand white and black soldiers with field pieces under faithful Blacks" Captain Lemelia was sent against him. Cudjoe Outwits English Cudjoe, who had heard all about the proposed attack from his spies among the slaves, laid plans to outwit his foes. He sent one of his most trusted men into the enemy camp with a false tale of his location. This information was so plausibly conveyed to the British commander that he never suspected the slightest treachery and gave his men the order to march into the mountains, feeling sure that he would not come upon Cudjoe until after a certain date. But Cudjoe, instead of staying where Lemelia expected to find him, came steathily down the mountain to meet him and took up his position in a narrow pass flanked by steep precipices through which the enemy was bound to come. Here he divided his men into four parts, and placed one at each point of the compass, overlooking the pass. This done, he lay quietly down and waited for the British to come up. At last the soldiers came up, dragging their cannon, and tired from the climb. Patiently Cudjoe waited until they got into the narrow pass, then he signalled his men at the entrance to fire. A hundred rifles spoke and as many soldiers fell. Now the enemy turned quickly in the direction of the shots. Again Captain Cudjoe gave another signal and again another volley struck them down in the rear. And so on, until they were being attacked from a.l sides. The survivors scurried for shelter, but all they could see were the puffs of smoke bearing death warrants, and at last abandoning everything they fled down the mountains in utter rout, leaving the majority of their companions dead or wounded. Maroons Leap to Death Several other expeditions sent against Cudjoe met with the same fate. But in spite of these successes, he was weakening because of his inability to get ammunition. In 1734 the English, under Captain Stoddart, led by a renegade Maroon, surprised a Maroon camp on one of the highest peaks of the island, killing nearly every one. Many of them leaped to their death from the precipices rather than surrender. Upon this Cudjoe decided to remove his entire following, which included many women and children, to another and more populous part of the island. To cover his retreat, he posted lone sentinels at the old camp, whose duty was to discharge guns and blow horns in order to give the impression of its being still occupied. It was several months before the settlers knew that Captain Cudjoe was in their vicinity, and they were to know it in a startling manner for descending on them he made one of his biggest raids, returning heavily laden with loot. Settlement after settlement was wiped out. One feature of Maroon warfare was its ferocity. Indeed this was characteristic of all combats between whites and blacks in the West Indies. No mercy was shown on either side and the most fiendish methods of torture were practiced. Nine years more of ravaged plantations and once more the government decided to make a last desperate effort to defeat the invincible black leader, and penetrate the Maroon stronghold at all costs. Every able-bodied man on the island was ordered to assemble for the attack. But the expedition was destined not to start. At the height of the preparations it was asked who would protect the women and children if the men went off. The Jamaican slave could not be trusted and was ever ready for revolt, while the faithful slave, as was said, was the especial object of Maroon hatred and ferocity. ·)offer Peace Terms to Cudjoe The governor, Sir Edward Trelawney, saw that there was but one way out: to ask Cudjoe to come to terms. Accordingly, he sent a peace mission under Colonel Guthrie to offer him his independence and a large tract of land. Cudjoe, on his part, signified his willingness, and assembling his men at a spot where, by the rolling down of rocks it would be easy to wipe out Guthrie's force, bade the peacemakers come on. It is in this manner that Dallas describes the meeting: "At this solemn juncture, Col-Guthrie advanced unmolested with his troops through situations in which the Maroons might have greatly annoyed him even with the large force he then had under him. Making, however, the best disposition of his troop, that the nature of the ground would permit, he marched on with confidence, and judging of the distance he was from the Maroons by the sound of their horns, he continued advancing till he thought he could make them hear his voice, he then halted, and, ob- Continued on Page Four As an Artist's Model, Verna Receives Her First Recognition in New York; She is Intrigued by the Ultra-Modern Life of Greenwich Village BEGIN READING HERE WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE— Verna Nash, remarkably beautiful daughter of a shiftless family, refuses to remain in her lowly station and decides to amount to something in life.

In this Verna sees a realization of her dreams, so when Dick Colvin intercepts her one night at an Elks' dance and there is a fight between him and Dr. Meyers, her escort, she becomes disgusted and leaves the coal fields for New York City. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY THE BEAUX ARTS BALL Smartly dressed in a grass green ensemble and carrying a new yellow traveling bag, Verna looked more beautiful than ever as she descended from the taxicab in front of Margot Yancey's studio on West Ninth Street, New York City, on the edge of Greenwich Village. The chauffeur and two or three passersby stared in admiration as she tripped lightly up the steps of the impressive brownstone fronted house and sounded the polished brass knocker. Verna's mind was a whirl of new impressions, a jumble of skyscrapers, traffic, city noises, a newly experienced courtesy unknown to her in her Southern hometown, and the memory of her long journey from West Virginia. As she waited for the door to be answered, she wondered what her reception would be, whether she would live in this grand house or not, how soon before she would see Harlem, the Negro capital. Verna. the Model Miss Yancey answered the door herself, arrayed in artist's smock, her fingers stained with paints. "Why, Verna!" she exclaimed, "come right in, child. I had no idea that you would be here so soon. Take your things right up stairs. You came at the right time; I've got a South Sea illustration and I'll use you for the model." "Oh, Miss Yancey," the dark girl replied, "I don't know that I can be a model; I've never tried it." "Nonsense! It really isn't anything. All you've got to do is to sit still in the position I put you. It'll be an excellent beginning for you, Verna. I think I can get you lots of work around here with my friends and you'll be paid seventy-five cents an hour." Verna mumbled her thanks, and tears of gratitude stood in her eyes as she unpacked her things in the little charming bedroom to which Miss Yancey assigned her on the third floor. All of her dreams seemed to be coming true. She unconsciously pinched herself to see if she were really awake. She found the job of posing to be very simple, but exacting. For long hours she sat on a pedestal or leaned on a support while Margot Yancey sketched and painted her in various costumes and poses, and often without any costume at all. "Oh, really now," the statuesque Margot would drawl in her nearest approach to enthusiasm, "you are quite ideal. Verna." Sometimes while they were at work, a friend or two would drop in for a chat.

A "Margot Yancey painted her in various costumes and poses and often without any costume at all." Verna was enjoying it tremendously. Sometimes she posed as a nymph, sometimes as a Chinese or Greek or African. It interested her exacting etiquette of the studio. She became, in short, a sepia edition of the graceful Margot Yancey, whose male admirers in the village were Margot warned her when she spoke of it. "There are dozens of them crazy about you right now, dear, but they are a little in awe because you ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 26, 1930 to have an artist use her body for a picture, paint it yellow and change her features and hair to that of a Japanese maiden. The mystery of the canvas and paint held her as in a thrall. She Becomes a Hit And then there were the enthusiastic comments of the artists. They liked her for the perfect specimen of humanity that she was and she learned to appreciate her charms even more than ever before. These people, working with the most beautiful models, declared again and again that she possessed the most perfect feminine form they had ever seen, so she had to believe it. She assumed a new, haughtier bearing and an aristocratic swing that enhanced her beauty a hundred times. She quickly learned the graceful, unhurried mannerisms of the salon, the secrets of perfect makeup, the art of color combinations, the easy but For once she felt delightfully, gloriously satisfied and at peace. She was surrounded by people of education, culture and refinement, she averaged thirty dollars a week, she had the leisure to cultivate her great natural charms and no men were pestering her to marry them. To be sure, the aristocrats, the wasters, the critics and the students who visited the studio of Margot eyed Verna admiringly, flattered her, occasionally danced with her and three or four times took her to lunch or dinner at the International Restaurant, Pirates' Den, or some other smart place where she was always the center of attention; but none of the men made any overtures. Because they were in awe of her or in fear of Margot Yancey, they avoided any of the proposals she had heard from the lips of Dick Colvin, Donald Baxter, Hugh Godfrey, and Dr. Charlie Meyers. Verna Receives a Warning "Don't be fooled by these men," 3 are colored and they are white, and because you are under my wing. If you weren't living here, you'd see how quickly they would make advances. If it were not for the criticism of society, any of these men would be proud to marry you, but the difference in race prevents that. "They would love to have an affair with you, but they are afraid to troach the subject because you live with me. They'll not hold off very long, though, so I warn you to be careful. To a girl as beautiful as you are, men will offer anything, and there are men rich enough to offer anything who often come to visit us." Margot smiled wisely and protectingly, drew indulgently upon a long Russian cigarette and shifted her position on the chaise lounge. Three months after Verna's advent to Greenwich Village, the annual Beaux Arts Ball was announced. The ball was always the occasion for the artists, artists' models, scenic artists, interior decorators and other people of the Bohemian set to wear their most elaborate costumes amid the most gorgeous and exotic scenery. "Verna," drawled Margot, "you must go by all means. You'll really be a sensation. We'll get you up as the Queen of Sheba. Fred Watkins will make the costume and Will Randoski will make the palanquin for you to be carried in. We'll get a quartet of big handsome black fellows from Harlem to bear it and dress them as Egyptian serving men. Oh, it'll just be grand." "But," interrupted Verna, "won't there be some objection to er,—me at such a swell affair?" "Nonsense!" said Margot. "No one will dare to object to my guest. Besides, Honey, this is Greenwich Village, New York City, and not the Solid South. Everybody will be delighted. There may be a few narrow-minded persons about but they don't count; besides, most of them drop their silly prejudices when they enter this life. They have to." There was much hustle and bustle in the artists' colony getting ready for the annual affair scheduled to be the most elaborate in history. Verna was as excited as the rest. Two or three times she went over to Fred Watkins's studio to see the progress of her costume, or to Will Rondoski's little basement shop to watch the building of the palatial silvered palanquin. "The Ethiopian Love Song" Margot had said that when the time came for stunts, Verna must sing a song; so Verna began to hunt for something appropriate. Nothing trite or commonplace would do, but she could find nothing else. Then, one day Margot swept into the studio with eyes agleam. "I've got just the thing," she cried excitedly. "It's Wendell Dalton's very latest piece, 'The Ethiopian Love Song.'" "Who is Wendell Dalton?" asked Verna, wondering and curious, as Margot seated herself at the baby grand piano and began to run over the piece. "Who is Wendell Dalton?" echoed Margot, facing her incredulously. "Why, don't you know? Say, Verna, he is the swellest, handsomest colored fellow I've ever seen; a college graduate, the very soul of culture; tall, aristocratic and one of our leading composers. I'll have him down to tea sometime so you can meet him." Between Margot Yancey, Fred Watkins and Will Rondoski, Verna certainly looked more like the Queen of Sheba than it had been possible for Continued on Page Four VERNA, the Irresistible (Continued from Page Three) any masquerader to look. The brilliant assemblage gasped as the four six-foot black men in lion clothes bore the black and silver palanquin with the resplendent beauty inside, down the length of the elaborately decorated hall. As 7erna, trembling with excitement, alighted, Margot, garbed as Queen Elizabeth, took her by the hand and whispered into her ear: "My dear, you'll be in all of the newspapers tomorrow." And, indeed, it seemed that she was speaking truly, for at least a half dozen newspaper photographers descended with their heavy cameras upon the brown beauty and the nall was soon hazy with smoke from the flashlight powder. Verna Envied by Women "Pick up the marbles!" exulted Fred Watkins, arrayed as Francois Villon, as he held Verna at arm's length and surveyed her admiringly. "You vos really von panic," cried Will Rondoski, who, for the evening, was King John of Poland. A few of the women, jealous, held aloof in little knots, condemning Margot for bringing Verna to the exclusive Beaux Arts Ball but grudgingly conceding that Verna was beautiful and charming. The men, on the other hand, crowded around her and soon her dance card was filled. "A triumph!" crowed Phil Sherman, a tall, blonde giant, who frequently visited Margot's studio. "That's what it is, old dear. You've made a lot of these pale ladies furious tonight, Verna." Then, during the long intermission, when each person was required to perform some act or stunt, Verna sang in her beautiful soprano voice "The Ethiopian Love Song." The vast, crowded ballroom was When the Real Thing Comes Along Get It!

Franz Leiper, at the piano, gave an unusually sympathetic accompaniment. The applause was deafening and prolonged. Three times she sang the chorus before they were satisfied. Then they swarmed about her, wringing her long, slender, perfectly manicured hands, embracing her, kissing her, raising her on willing shoulders and parading the length and breadth of the hall. "Come, Verna," said Margot, enthusiastic and breathless, "I want you to meet Count Ferdinand de Raalbonne. You've sliced his heart in two, it seems." A tall, distinguished looking man with long thin nose, slightly graying black hair, long, black, tapering eyebrows, high forehead and an enigmatic smile, came out of the crowd, was introduced by Margot, and, taking Verna's hand, raised it to his lips Help Iron Count Kaaloble "Ah, Mademoiselle," he sighed, "You are so, what you call him, beautiful; so exquisite; wonderful! My English, Mam'selle, it is not capable of telling you how much you have impressed me. Your voice, ah, it is rich, appealing, delightful! A little training and it will be incomparable. Let me send you to a real master. It will cost you nothing, nothing! What you say?" Verna caught Margot's eye and mumbled her assent. She was filled to the brim, and tears of gratitude stood in her big, dark brown eyes and hung like pearls on her sweeping lashes. She could have shouted her joy. At last she was on the way to her goal. When she finally got to bed at four in the morning, tired but happy, she could not sleep for an hour or two, but lay there thinking, planning dreaming. Ever and anon her thoughts would dwell on the past; on the indigent denizens of Billy Goat Lane; on Dick Colvin, Donald Baxter, Hugh Godfrey, Charlie Meyers, the coal fields and her journey to New York. At last she fell asleep, dreaming of Success, Success, Success, the plaudits of the multitude, of the whole world. (To be continued next week) Candy Creams and Puddings The last ingredient many might think of adding to a cream or pudding would be candy. Yet many kinds of candies lend themselves to the dessert in a surprising manner—and as they add a touch of quick energy food to the dessert, a great deal is to be said in favor of such an addition. Here are two particularly tasteful dessert dishes in which candy appears. Try them and see how flavorous they are: Candy Bar Cottage Pudding Cut cake into squares or use cup cakes. Cover with very thin slices of candy bar. Pour hot custard or lemon sauce over it. Two layers of cake with slices of candy bar between as well as on top makes a Cottage Sandwich Pudding. Peppermint Stick Ice Cream One-half pound peppermint stick, one pint milk, one quart medium cream, one-half teaspoon salt. Soak candy overnight in the milk. Add the cream, salt and sugar if you want it, and freeze. ECONOMY MEAT PIE Cut left-over meat and vegetables into uniform medium-sized pieces. Mix with an equal amount of medium cream sauce (1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons butter). Season well with onion, salt, pepper, etc. (Use left-over gravy with cream sauce if possible.) Cover with a thick pie crust, biscuit dough, or layer of left-over mashed potato mixed with milk (one slightly beaten egg can be added to potato if desired). Bake in a moderate oven until the crust is cooked, or until browned and heated through if potato is used. 14 pound marshmallows Prepare chocolate junket according to directions on package. Cut marshmallows in pieces and melt in double boiler. Dissolve sugar in boiling water, add to marshmallows, and stir until thoroughly blended. Turn into a bowl and cool before serving on top ice cold chocolate junket.

"An answer was returned declaring that the Maroons wished the same, and requesting that the troops might be kept back. This request being dictated apparently by suspicion, Colonel Guthrie proposed to them to show the confidence he had in their sincerity by sending a person to them to assure them that the white people were sincere on their part, and to inform them of the particulars relative to that freedom and security that the governor had proposed to them.

He advanced very confidently towards their huts near which he was met by two Maroons, whom he informed of the purpose of his message and asked if either of them was Cudjoe.

"Several Maroons now descended and among them it was not difficult to discover the chief himself. Cudjoe was rather a short man, uncommonly stout, with very strong African features and a peculiar wildness in his manners. He had a very large lump of flesh upon his back which was partly covered by the tattered remains of an old blue coat of which the skirts and the sleeves below the elbow were wanting. "Around his head was tied a scanty piece of white cloth so very dirty that its original color might have been doubted. He wore no shirt, and his clothes, such as they were, as well as the part of his skin that was exposed, were covered with the red dirt resembling ochre. He had on a pair of loose drawers that did not reach to his knees and a small round hat with the rims pared so close to the crown that it might have been tainted calabash. Exchange Hats as Token of Friendship "Such was the chief, and his men were as ragged and as dirty as himself; all were armed with guns and outlasses. Cudjoe constantly cast his eyes toward the troops under Golonel Cuthrie. He appeared very suspicious. asked Dr. Russell many questions before he ventured within reach. "at last Dr. Russell offered to change hats with him as a token of friendship, so which he consented and was beginning to converse more freely when Colonel Guthrie called aloud to him, assuring him of a faithful compliance with whatever Dr. Russell promised. He said that he wished to come unarmed to him with a few of the principal gentlemen of the island, who should witness the oath he would solemnly make to them of peace on his part with liberty and security to the Maroons on their acceding to it." And so peace was made. Cudjoe and his men were given a large tract of land, free from all taxes "forever," and given permission to hunt anywhere on the island, except within three miles of a white settlement.

"BAFFLING MURDERS" BEGINNING SOON THE COLLINS MURDER CASE By BROWNING STREAT Clever Detective Story Writer This is another Thriller in the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Exclusive Detective-Murder Series! By NANCY LYNDON THE Chinese are very very clever. You would agree if you tasted one of their ju jube confections. For thousands of years, the Chinese have been enjoying this tasty nut-like product and have said little about it. American food experts recommend it both for a food and for a new plant product that can be cultivated almost anywhere within the United States. It seems that the ju jube is also a hardy food plant. One scientist who has experimented with it says that "it stands more neglect that any other of the Oriental fruits and seems to thrive in dooryards in which the soil is packed down until almost as hard as bricks." The Far Eastern people have developed many plants that served both for food and for other practical purposes. The ju jube is one of them. It grows to tree-like proportions. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 26, 1930 makes a good trimmed hedge, and produces a fruit that can be made into excellent confections. This rounded fruit is prepared by scoring or puncturing and cooking it in a syrup. The scoring is done either with knives or punches. This is in order to permit the syrup to seep in. The fruit can be handled thus either fresh or dried. The fresh fruit has a milder taste but the people of the Orient are not particular, eating it in either form as convenient. When dried, the ju jubes keep well. Uncle Sam says of this fruit, that the American people will come to appreciate it when they have been told about it. "The immediate future of the ju jube will be a useful spare-time fruit that can be grown in every home or orchard, thus contributing to the variety of fruits by adding one that is highly nutritious, delicately flavored, and an abundant and sure producer." Ju jubes, it seems, can be used in cake, in fillings, in batter puddings, with oatmeal, in mince meat, as sweet pickles and as butter. Housewives always on the alert for the new, will probably soon be telling us to go to the store and buy the rightly labeled brand of the new ju jubes.

Published by Claude Kendall, New York City. 321 pp. Price $2.50. By far the most original book in the last decade is, at best, an inadequate description of Tiffany Thayer's racy and gory novel. The very first line of the story begins. "This is the damndest book you ever read." The rest of the book easily proves this line to be correct. Very coolly within the first five or si pages, the author moves the reader breathlessly through 8 or 10 murders as though the reader himself were a pawn, an animate chessman. The newspapers throughout the nation headline the strange and apparently well planned murders of a host of legally innocent people. All of the victims are found with bullet holes in the middle of their foreheads. Thirty-eight human beings are killed before the story is well under way. Should A Marry A Have you a puzzling love affa vice? Write to Julia Jerome, care personal reply please send a stamp Julia Jerome A woman of New York City asks us a pertinent question this week. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am thirty years old and engaged to be married to a man in Detroit. Up to three months ago I considered myself very fortunate to have a man like Jim wanting to marry me. Jim is a lawyer and well off, and I am a working girl. I have been working since I was fifteen, and I thought I was very tired of it and ready to have a good man take care of me. But three months ago I changed jobs and at my new job I have rapidly gained promotion. My new boss seems very interested in me and it thrills me just to have him look at me. Jim is the cold athletic type of man and his kisses are like a brother's. Last night Jim phoned me and wanted me to come at once and marry him. It appalls me to think of tying myself to him forever, and yet, perhaps, it would be best for me. What do you think? NEARLY MARRIED. I do not advise you to go. Marriage, to be successful, must have a physical as well as a spiritual side. If Jim does not thrill you now, he probably never will. Whereas, a husband can train a wife in the art of love, a wife cannot train a husband. His masculine egotism gets in the way. A man thinks he naturally knows more than a woman and resents any inference that he doesn't. I believe that you were only considering marriage for economic reasons, and that now with a better job MALARIA? Get overnight results with this guaranteed prescription or get your money back.

Yet, the novel is clearly not a detective story. For immediately after the author chronicles the thirty-eighth murder, he launches into the analysis of lives of the "twelve men good and true" who are to sit in judgment on the confessed killer. The character delineation is most intriguing and written with such an intimately sophisticated style that the reader is really carried on through the book without realizing how thoroughly absorbed he is in its strange and naked rhythm. Most murder tales are solved from the point of view of the detective and the elusive criminal. But here we have an entirely different point of view. The author gives us a jury, and a series of gruesome murders in reverse order; then he gives the confession of the criminal. But, strangely enough, even after the confession, it is plainly apparent that the very candor of the perpetrator is so astonishingly convincing that the Woman A Cold Man? ir on which you need friendly ad- of this newspaper.

POINTS TO REMEMBER Among the things every one might well remember are: That your watch needs cleaning once a year. That it should be inspected by the jeweler every six months. That water is not good for the movement. That shocks and jars to your watch should be avoided. That the watch should be wound up regularly, preferably each morning at the same time. That the watch should be kept in an upright position. That it should be used as a timepiece and not for a hammer or paperweight. That a watch with ordinary care will last indefinitely.

PLANTEN'S C & C OR BLACK CAPSULES 5 jury of twelve good and true citizens cannot perform their plain and obvious "legal" duty. It is an amazingly real dilemma. The very simplicity of the climax befuddles the reader and challenges a knowledge of independent modernistic ideas to fully understand its unmoral significance. The book provides an excellent insight into how verdicts are arrived at by supposedly "good and true" men. Jurors are human, and are really less true and good than the judicial system would have the laymen believe. It can always be relied upon that the verdicts of juries, the judgments of courts as well as the conduct of the parties are all directly affected by the background and environment of the persons themselves. Jury service and long, black judicial robes do not transform men into saints whose edicts are ipso facto infallibly just. The book is startlingly unusual an its entertainment is bolstered by good hard life. To read it is to live, to see, and to understand, real facts. The penetrating searching and frank style of the author alone is worth the price of the work. Novels like "Thirteen Men" are seldom published and ought not to be missed by the book-loving public.

Other Maroons Win Freedom There were other Maroons. At the eastern end of the island was a group known as the Windward, who, under their chief, Quao, had been causing terror. His expedition was sent against him, but Chief Quao proved himself a master of strategy and inflicted a crushing defeat on the British. Advancing to meet the enemy Quao built temporary huts, set pots aboiling in the yards, scattered provisions and articles of clothing in the paths leading to the woods, and then hid his men in the surrounding woods. As the soldiers were approaching, the huts were set on fire. All gave the appearance of a hurried flight, and the soldiers, sure of victory, dashed off into the woods. Not finding the enemy they were returning, laughing and with broken ranks, to make camp for the night, when the hidden Maroons poured a withering fire into them. Shot down on all sides by an unseen enemy they fled. Later Sir Edward Trelawney made a similar treaty with them. One Group Treacherously Deported Many years later, another group of Maroons revolted but were induced to make peace. They were then treacherously surrounded and deported to Nova Scotia and later to West Africa, where their descendants still live. Perhaps no one was more indignant at this proceeding than the British commander who had fought against them, General Walpole. Walpole, when presented with a golden sword by the legislature for his services, bluntly refused it, and went off to Parliament to protest. There he spoke in most glowing terms of the Maroons, declaring that they were in every way the equal of white troops in courage and resourcefulness. Mention might also be made of the Maroons of Dutch Guiana, who won their freedom after a struggle of great ferocity and cruelty, in which thousands of lives were lost. The Dutch government was finally forced to give them a hundred square miles of land on which they still live under their own government. In 1899, because of alleged grievances, they threatened to descend on Paramaribo, the capital of Surinam and burn it to the ground, on which the government yielded.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 26, 1930 Captain Cudjoe and his men have had an important effect on present-day Jamaica. The island is today 90 per cent Negro—it is called "the black man's paradise." They are responsible for this; they frightened away white settlers at a time when it was easiest for them to get a foothold. Jamaica with its equable climate, high mountains, and easy conditions of living, is especially fitted for Europeans, and for the Maroons its population might have been predominantly white or near-white, like that of Cuba.

When you have been out sledding or skating in the cold air, nothing tastes better than a cup of the steaming brew from far-off Brazil. If you go at your winter sports seriously and intend to stay out for several hours, the best thing you can take along, next to your sled and skates, is a thermos bottle of coffee. It should be made stronger than usual so that you will have a good sizable stimulant when you want it the most, and, if you like them, cream and sugar should be added before you leave home. Of course, it isn't necessary to slide in the snow to enjoy coffee in winter. If you are outside at all on cold days you are sure to appreciate a hot cup at almost any time you can get it. The unique qualities of hot coffee are especially beneficial to the human body in chilly weather because they increase your resistance.

The country is filled with boys and girls who have gotten half an education. There is little opportunity for the average child which is sent out thus poorly equipped. We of the older generation of today find it still harder with a greatly increased competition. The boy who finishes high school is far more likely to succeed than the one who only takes a year or two there. The college man or woman finds it easy to top the high school graduate. The poor child who has merely finished grammar school wonders how it is that someone else who has gone only a year or two longer and made a grade or two higher.

If you do not have imagination, then your "g" will tell the story in exactly the same way.

Between Slim and Ginger was the prospect of a lively and important game of wits and tricks. The game is played as follows: Two of the players are principals such as Ginger and Slim became when the game started. The other players are "pikers" or side-players. The cards are cut to see who deals. Each player takes a card from the deck and plays it face down on the table, when the game starts. The dealer then deals each man a card, face up, from the deck and the principal facing the dealer must examine the card of each player to learn its identity. The player himself does not look at his card. The one whose card comes up first loses: That is, if one man holds a king and the man with whom he is betting holds a jack, the holder of the king will lose if the king comes first from the deck, or the reverse. The dealer must not only cover the bet of the principal facing him but also of every other man at the table who puts up money on his card. When he loses his bet with the opposing principal, the latter becomes the dealer and continues as dealer until he loses, when the order is repeated again. The pikers are not permitted to deal. The pikers may bet with each other as well as with the dealer and two or more may bet one piker, if the piker wishes to cover their bets. All kinds of cross betting is permissible and betting is largely influenced by whether or not the players feel that certain cards are lucky. The game is likely to result in indescribable confusion if eighteen or twenty men are playing on account of betting complications and it is this which causes the game to terminate frequently in murderous brawls. The plays are harder to keep in order than the trades in grain speculation on the Chicago stock exchange. The big chance in this game for card sharks is sleight of hand work in working cards to the bottom of the deck. If the dealer's card is king, say, he will not lose if he can get the other three kings to the bottom of the deck because the dealing is done from the top of the deck. When a player can get the other cards of the denomination similar to the one he is holding to the bottom of the deck and cop the money he is said to be "carrying the cub." There is no chance for the principal who examines the cards to misrepresent their numbers as the cards are thrown face up on the table after the winners are announced.

The game between Ginger and Slim proceeded with varied fortunes. At the end of three hours all of the pikers but three or four had dropped out. They had lost their wads. Ginger and Slim had about one hundred dollars each. Slim opened the deck and each man took a card. Then he shuffied the cards again and dealt each player one. Ginger had noticed that Slim had become very itchy of late—he had been reaching down and scratching his leg a lot. "Sure must hab a mighty lot of fleas," Ginger had remarked suspiciously. Slim dealt himself a ten spot—a favorite number at Bear Creek. Ginger drew a five spot. Slim dealt the cards. Finally a five spot fell. Slim had won the two hundred dollars. Ginger made a quick pass and seized the deck of cards. "Scratching yo'self!" he exclaimed sententiously as he turned the deck over, picked three cards from the bottom of the deck and threw them on the table. Slim jumped to his feet and pulled a wicked looking knife from his pocket. Ginger seized his big "gat," brought it down on Slim's head and snuffed out the oil lamp. When it was lighted again Ginger and the money was gone. In the morning it was found that Lucy and Ginger were both gone. Slim and "Brownskin" also failed to show up. Such are the strange results of "skin" at one of the most picturesque turpentine camps in America.
