Baptist Leader Asks "Shall Dr. Townsend Be Held As Guilty Without Proof?" Says "God Forbid!" (By S. N. VASS) The Chicago Whip recently carried an inspired editorial that represented that secular paper as being throughly vested in our Convention affairs and especially anxious that Dr. Townsend should not be allowed to go unpunished. We have been informed that President Williams owns shares in The Whip, and if so, then we can understand why such a bitter editorial ever found its way into the paper. Read the following quotation from the editorial: "We do not know that the Townsends are guilty, but the presumption that they are innocent should be veiled in the light of the known and established facts of the case, and not in the light of the legal fiction that every man is presumed innocent. When there are eye witnesses to murder the legal principle that every man is presumed innocent is a formality required by precedent, and hardheaded, unright, level-headed people are not nalted from doing their bit to bring about justice." I do not believe that the editor of the Whip actually wrote this so-called editorial, for it bears the ear-marks of Dr. L. K. Williams, for his mental complex betrayed him into mentioning only the Townsends' and Pierson's names. He leaves out all mention of Westbrook's connection, although Westbrook was put in jail under indictment. The editorial says: "Fire must be fought with fire" and there breathes the same spirit as Dr. Williams' famous threat: "I will fight until hell freezes over, and then fight on the ice warning that he intends to hold on to the office of president in spite of the will of the people. But people, what do you think of such an article appearing in a secular paper, calling on Baptist people to send up money to pay detectives to convict Dr. Townsend. One thing seems sure, and that is that the Baptist people must not be sending up the money. Send and get The Whip of July 12th, and read the editorial for yourself, and then decide who wrote it and what you think of the man who wrote. It is by far the bitterest piece of printed matter that has been published in connection with Mr. Pierson's death. And those who know intimately Dr. Williams regard him capable of writing in that identical way. Does he want the Townsends put to death both morally and physically? The writer of that editorial knows so intimately the procedure and detectives and lawyers in this case that he feels certain Dr. Townsend is going to be cleared of this last charge, as he has already been cleared of the first charge. If the first charge was thrown out of court, they are really expecting the same thing to take place in the second trial, for the first was based upon conspiracy. The writer of this editorial is on the inside, and he is expecting that Dr. Townsend will not be tried until October, and he wants the delegates to the Jubilee to judge him guilty, although nothing has been proven to sow his guilt thus far. The writer of this editorial fears the delegates will look upon Lr. Townsend as being persecuted, and so if they will regard Dr. Williams as his persecutor, while his friend, the evil genius at Nash VOLUME XLVII. N., 38 cent edifice. The splendid services held there for the past two weeks, have caused her to take on NEW LIFE. ville, would escape censure altogether unless they know what part he has taken to get the president into such a fix as to lose the support and respect of those who have heretofore loyally supported him. Just think of any human being calling upon others to regard a man and his innocent son as guilty before conviction by the court. The writer of that editorial is a dis honest man, for he speaks as if there were ey witnesses to this murder although he knows he misrepresents the facts. I expect Dr. Williams will sick his dogs on me, although I never had a case in court in my life, not even been callecled into court except about minor traffic regulations. But his will is now law in National Baptist Matters. And in the face of these charges and ing the Sunday School Publishing Board Williams joins with Dr. Isaac in charged defiance of the Convention, Dr with rebellion against the will and instructions of the Convention, yes, conspiracy and rebellion will be charged.

Wall St Beneficial Club A Functioning Civic Asset By JOE SIMPSON The Wall Street Beeficial Club continues to live up to the high ideals and lofty standards that have characterized all its dealings with its members and with the public since its organization. It has supported morally and financially every civic move worth while that has been made since its organization. On August 13, this club has invited the orphan children of the city to be its guest at Market Inn, pleasure resort at a picnic to be given to them free of cost, to which they have provided transportation both ways for the orphan children, members and their children, or any children that they choose to have been provided for, memyers providing transportation for same. At its last meeting Mr. JospPurseeking protection for our school cell, spoke on the advisability of children at the dangerous intersections of Adam and Leigh streets, which is one of the most hazardous protection at dangerous crossings crossings in the city. He also stressed the point that white children had why our children should not have and said that he could see no reason the same protection. The club went on record as heartily in accord with Mr. Purnell and a committee was immediately appointed by the president, Mr. Frank Redd, consisting of Mr. Joseph Purnell, Mr. Adolphus Jackson, Mr. Joseph Eggleston and Mr. James Anthony, the committee beeing instructed to go to the director of public safety with their request.

Mr. Sylvestra Giles of 517 East Leigh Street was seriously injured wen his car turned over near Ashland Monday morning, 9:00 o'clock while returning from a visit to his mother in Covington, Va. ( He was accompanied by hi swife, Sadie Giles, William Ward, of 616 N. 8th and Miss Bessie Thornton of the seventeen hundred block Idlewood Avenue. All three suffering cuts and minor bruises had to take bed under care of their doctors. Mr. Giles back was se verely sprained, it was at first thought to have been broken, he was taken to the St. Phillip's Hospital from the scene of the accident, where his condition was reported serious while driving at a moderate rate of speed, the left front tire had a blowout and Mr. Giles lost control of his car as another car approached him and left the road at an embankment estimated at 20 feet. The car turned over twice and righted itself. All the occupants were thrown clear of the car, but Giles is believed to have been caught under the first turn, the car was completely wrecked. Giles was rushed to the hospital and the others received treatment frm a doctor nearby. The National Association of Negro tailors, designers, dressmakers and cleaners held their 10th annual meet here, August 4-6 Unprecedented interest marked each session which was largely attended by delegates from the principal cities of the north, south and the Atlantic seaboard. The principal address was delivered by the Hon. James A. Jackson, Business Specialist of the United States Department of Commerce, who was loud in his praise for the foresight and perseverance of the pioneer members of the association. The more than thirty delegates who were in attendance from a dozen different states were high in their praise for the local committee for the manner in which the convention was handled. The demonstrations and discussions were such as to be of definite value to those engaged in any of the needle trades as well as in cleaning and dyeing garments. This year's Fashion Show, which is the greatest feature of each convention was unquestionably voted the best one ever held. Mesmes Jones and Clark of Philadelphia, National Show directors deserve great credit for the manner in which they put over this feature. The local directors, Mrs. A. L. Chatman and Mrs. Ella Carter covered themselves with honor along with the national officers. Bringing to a close the most helpful convention in its history, the National Association of Negro Tailors, Designers and Dressmakers, was elected to elect Carey Whateau of Richmond, National President for the coming year, and Boston was selected as the next meeting place. A second Richmond was honored by J. L. Loving was elected vice-president. The entertainment features handled by Ralph Pollard and his committee added much to the pleasure of the delegates. The reception at Market Inn on Tuesday night and the ball at the Wms. Lodge home on Thursday night will linger long in the memory of those in attendance. Once again Richmond's hospitality has indefinitely impressed itself upon its visitors and the local committee wishes to thank most sincerely organizations and individuals who gave so generously of their money and time towards making this convention what it has been proclaimed "the best in the history of the organization." ONE FOR RIPLEY While looking over the death certificates for this week our reporter thought he had made a mistake when he looked over the names before sending them to "Press." He found William Robinson and John Ruffin, Jr., both living at 616 U. 28th Street, exactly two (2) days old and both dying August 4th, thinking he had made a mistake he looked back over the records and found out that both were born at the same house the same day but of different parents and each one died two days later. Y. M. C. A. Drops Residents of White Section In N. Y. New York City—(CNS)—Dr. D. Collymore, chairman of directors in the Colored branch of the White Plains Y. M. C. A., and Dr. Andrew M. Williams, secretary of the board, whose purchase of homes in an exclusive white residential section reused a racial controversy here some time ago, have been dropped from their positions as directors by the board of the parent white Y.

JACKSON'S ADDRESS Mr. President, Officers, Members and Visitors of the Tenth Annual Convention of the Tailors, Dressmakers and Designers: In as much as this is my third annual appearance before your organization, I entertain some fears as to my ability to interest you. Sincere appreciation for the honor of these repeated invitations; the full realization of the practical and far reaching purposes of the organization; and my own esseming desire to continue trying to help the Negro to economic independence are the motivating influences which encourage me to talk with you toight. Since this is a public meeting with many lay visitors present, I am going to try to talk FOR you rather than TO you. Perhaps, if the general public is told something of the worth of this organization in particular, and the 26 other national trade groups in general, Richmond people and the country as a whole will more fully appreciate the contribution you are making to ADDRESSES NATIONAL TAILORS [Name] HON. JAMES A. JACKSON race progress and the economic salvation of the submerged tenth of the nation's population. I am going to take the liberty of saying some of the things I know; and which the public should know; but which the officers and pioneer members of your organization seem to be too eager or too modest to have told. It took a lot of courage for a few scattered industrial workers with independent commercial business to try to create a trade body ten years ago. And, it took a lot of stick-to-itiveness to persist in the face of racial and craft indifference to carry on until the present day interest and membership had been accomplished. Your organization was among the first to recognize that in Union there is strength: That the obstacles to successful business enterprise could best be met and overcome by joint effort: That adequate training is essential to success: That keeping abreast of the times and with modern business practices and trade methods is necessary: That advertising is a business asset: That a trade journal is the necessity of every intelligent business owner or operator. While the public was wondering about the gathering of a modest little group of tradefolks somewhere every year, the government, through the United States Department of Commerce, the Business men and women of the service, has been recognizing the body for what it really was and is, an organization worthy of listing in its published list of "Industrial and Commercial Organizations of the United States". Doubting Thomases are invited to see for themselves by obtaining from the hSuperintendent of Documents at the Government Printing Office in Washington, D. C., a copy of the publication in which are listed more than 2,000 National trade-bodies and nearly ten thousand local commercial, civic, and industrial organizations. To have obtained that recognition means something.

Petersburg Va.-The Negro State Teachers Association of Virginia was host to the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools in its meetings at the Virginia State College Petersburg Virginia July 22-23. The general theme of the meeting was a factual and critical survey of the present status of Negro education. There were general and departmental sessions with papers and discussions on the various phases and types of schools attended by Negroes. Most of these papers represented scholarly research, and contained valuable data in the field of Negro education. It is planned to compile and publish the several papers in a single volume that will be available at nominal cos to persons interested in education among Negroes. The business sessions of the convention were conducted under the constitution adopted at Jackson, Miss. last year, which included the election of six regional vice-presidents, who were A. M. P. Strong, of Arkansas; A. G. Dobbins, of Alabama; L. F. Palmer of Virginia; F. T. Butler, of Maryland; W. E. Day, of Oklahoma, and H. M. Griffin of Alabama was unanimously elected treasurer. A budget for the year was adopted on the basis of state membership quotas. The recommendation of President Johnson, that the position of editor of the eubulletin and executive secretary be combined, and that a fulltime secretary be employed was adopted by the association. Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, president of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the Bethune-Cookman Institute, at Daytona Beach. Flg., were elected as representatives of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools to attend the cornerstone laying of the building of the National Educational Association Friday in Washington. At the first general session Tuesday evening July 22, the Hon. R. T. Wilson, Mayor of Petersburg, delivered an address of welcome, with a similar address by the Hon. H. G. Ellis, superintendent to Schools of Petersburg, and an address on behalf of the State Department of Education was delivered by the Hon. Harris Hart, superintendent of Public Instruction. A letter was read by President John M. Gandy from the Hon. John Garland Pollard, governor of Virginia, conveying greetings and best wishes to the association host to Palmer, executive secretary of the Negro State Teachers' Association, host to the National organization, conveyed a welcome on behalf of the teachers of Virginia. He spoke of the progress of the association under the leadership of Dr. Gandy, with an increase and with a constructive program for in membership from 300 to 3,000, the welfare of the Negro youth of Virginia.

The first session was presided over by President John M. Gandy of Va. State College, who presented Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson as president of the Association. An introductory address indicating the scope and importance of factual and critical survey was made by Leo M. Favrot, field agent, General Education Board of New York, in which he gave the results of a comparative study of the maximum and minimum salary paid Negro and white teachers in the various Southern states, showing that the Negro teachers of Maryland are paid more than twice as much as those of the state of Georgia. Dg. Monroe N. Work director, Records and Research Department. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., contrasted this discrepancy between white and colored schools of the present time with that of fifty years ago, stating that the difference was not near so great formerly as now; that fifty years ago Negro teachers received a higher salary in South Carolina than white teachers, while in West Virginia, Negro men teachers were paid more than white men, and Negro women received less than white women in teachers. "Of all states maintaining education schools," said Dr. Work, 'the District of Columbia and the tate of West Virginia have facilities for white and colored children that are more nearly equal.

By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) Langston Hughes has written a story of humble, poor, but real Negro people—showing that their life is lived poignantly, often pain- fully, but “not without laughter.” It is Langston first-prose story of book length, and it stands among the best of all the stories we have 0 far read on the Negro. We doubt whether Mr. Hughes will ever write a better story than this; we hope that he will write others as good. Here’s the history, the living, dramatic history, of a poor Negro family of a small Kansas fown, and yet it is not full of ex- aggerated piles of dirt. ‘There are, of course, no angels in this book. It is not a book about heaven— but about black people who live and work and suffer and sing and dance and die in a white man’s country. There is undoubtedly something autobiographical about the Little hero, “Sandy,” whom we see growing op from ‘a destitute tot to a struggling high school lad. “Aunt Hager,” “Jim- boy,” “Annjee,” “Harriett,” “Tem- ye? “Sister Johnson” and “Mme. le Carter” are all real people, hu- mans in dark skins as we have known them. In this book, as literature, Cuff was a Negro slave who lived in the South before the war. He was a joyful Christian and a faithful servant. His mas- ter, however, was in need of mon- ey, and one day a young planter, who was an infidel came to buy Cuff. The price was agreed upon and the Christian slave was sold to the infidel. But in parting wich him: the master said you will Gnd Cuff a good worker and you can trast him. He will suit you in ev- ery respect but one, “And what is that,” said the master. “He will pray, and you can’t break him of it; But that is his only fault.” “Til soon whip that out of him.” Remarked the infidel. “I fear not,” said the former master, “and I would not advise you to try it.” “He would rather die than give up praying.” Cuf proved faithful to the new master. As he did to the old master. The master soon got word that he had been praying, and calling him said: “Cuff,” “You must not pray any more, can’t have any praying around here. Never let me hear anv more about this nonsense praying.’ Cuff replied, “O, massa, I love to pray to Jesus, and when T pray J loves you’ and Misses all the more; and can work all the harder for you.” But he was sternly forbid- den’ ever to pray any more under penalty of a severe flogging. That evening when the day’s work was ended, as he always did; he talk- ed to his God, like Daniel of old, as he had in aforetime. Next morning he was called to appear before his master, who demand2d of him why he disobeyed him, Oh, Massa, I has to pray; I can’t live without it,” said Cuif, At this the master flew into a terrible raze and ordered Cuff to be tied to the whipping post and his shirt of. He then applied the rawhide with all the force, he possessed until his young wife ran out in tears and begged him to stop. The man was so infuriated he threatened to punish her next, if she did rot Jeave him. Then he ordered the bleeding back washed in salt wa- ter, the shirt on, sand thls poor slave to he about his work. Cuff went away singin in « groaning votce: ‘My suffering time will soon be over, When I shall sigh and weep no more.” He worked faithfully all that day, though much in pain, as the blood oozed from his back where the lash had made long, deep, fur- rows; meantime, Ged was working on the master. He saw his wicked- ness and cruelty to the poor soul whose only fault had been his idelity; and convicion seized up- on him. By night he was in great distress of mind. He went to bed, at could not sleep, such was his Published every Saturday by Roscoe C. ‘Mitchell, at 311 N, 4th St., Richmond Va.

Entered at the Post-office at Richmond Virginia, as second class matter. Hughes shows himself as great a master in American prose as in poetry. When he describes a ban- Jo picker, the banjo has as much personality as the picker. When he depicts a Negro dance, every- thing is alive and wilfully active, every instrument is a performer and every musician also an in- strument of some super-spirit who moves and plays on souls, minds, bodies. His chapter called the “Dance” is a classic, and is unrivalled in all literature, as a description of such a function among the humbler colored folk. There is no plot in this story ex- cept the great plot of Human life, ‘We have a section of human life, with youth and old age acting and reacting on each other. Many of the chapters are complete sto- ries in themselves and could stand satisfyingly alone. Tne lyrics and songs which these various charac- ters are made to sing would e- tablish Langston Hughes’ reputa- tion as a poet, if it were not al- ready established. There is in this tale of life nat- ural humor, sound philosophy, and a good bit ‘of effective, incidental and unoffending propaganda of sc- cial truth.

No, no, I don’t want a doc- tor, Is there any one on the plan- tation that can pray for me? T am afraid that Iam going to hell. “I don’t know of anyone,” said his wife, “except the slave you pun- ished this merning,” “do you think he would pray for me?” anxious- ly he inquired. “Yes, I think he will,” she replied. “well, send for him quickly.” On going after Cuff they found him on ‘his knées in prayer and when they called him. he supposed it was to be punished again. On being taken to the master’s room he found him writh- ing in agony. The master, groan- ing, said; “0, Cuff, can you pray for me?” “Yes, bless de Lawd, I's been prayin’ for you all de night,” and at this he fell on his knees and asked the Lord for guidance to point his master to. the Lamb which beareth away the sin of the world, When he arose, his Mas- ter, in greater agony than ever, exclaimed: “O, Cuff, can’t you tell me what I must do’ to be saved?” “No, Massa, I know nothin’ you can do. God saw that you and 1 were just poor sinners fit for noth- in’ but de lake of fire, but He loves us so much that He sent de Lord Jesus to suffer in our place, and when he hung on de cross, God lxid on Him all our sins, past present and future; and He suff- ered and died for ‘em there, and when He arose from de grace dey were all gone as far as de east is from de west,” But how can I know I ain't saved?” Cuff opend his Testament and read; “Verily, ver- ily, Tsay unto you; he that heareth my word and believeth Him that nent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but is passed from death unto life,” John 5:24. “you see, it's just ‘hearin’ and believin’ and havin’ ?

Oklahoma City, Okla. SAYS JOE SIMPSON We wait with breathless suspense the publication of the contents of the report of the commission sent to Hai- ti by the president for the sole pur- pose of investigating educational con- ditions in the Island republic, and we presume, to make recomendations which in their opinion would alleviate the dreadful conditions that are ex- isting there today. ‘The recomendations made by the commission is of great interest to the thinking Negroes of this country, members of the commission were Ne- largely because of the fact that all the groes except one, this being a fact the Negro wants to know what Mr. Hoover will do in regard to the reecomenda- tions made by the commission. The Negro wants to know what changes are recemended by the commission in re- gard to the Haitjan Agricultural, Col- lege, of which Carl Colvin, is acting head, and whose resignation has been requested by the Haitian minister of edueation, and why the Hoover admin- istration has seen fit to mak e this same man who has been the cause of so much strife and discord, the per- manent had of th scool and give a raise in salary amounting to $2,500 which will make his salary $10,000 a year before making public the contents ‘of the commission's report, and the eeccomvitsitions attached thereto? The commission is being criticized by some members of the press for their actions while in Haiti, as well as their actions on their return trip. The most notable of these, is Mr. George Schuy- ler, who in his “View and Reviews” rips the commission up the back and drags it over the coals something fieree. While the members of the com mission may not have carried them- selves at all times with the utmost diginity, some of the things done by the commission while in Haiti are the same things that the American Negro has been asking the white man in America to do; consider man asa man regardless of his color or his station in life. In our opinion Dr. Moton acted on purely democratic’ principles in_ giving the commission's chauffuer a place at the same table which the commission ate, had he not done this, he would have been practicing the same policies and practices of which the Negro com- plains in this country; Jim-crowism and Segregation. If the Negro prac- tices segregation among his own race what more does he expect from the white man? He has as much right to segregate us as we have to segregate each other. Mr, Schuyler concludes his discourse nent the commission by asking “How ean one espect such leaders whether one is a Negro or a white person? In our opinion, Mr. Schuyler, in his futile attempt to discredit the commission has brought discredit to himself, for according the attitude expressed by him, had he been head of the commis- sion the members of the commission appointed under him would have had 10 remove their hats when they were in his presence, and in speaking with nim they would have had to address nim as “His Excellency” or “His High- ness”. This is the trouble with most of the Negro leaders today, when they | \equire position, influence or a little wealth, they get so big and important shat. those same people whom they are suposed to serve can not get to them. — The sooner the Negro race produces fom real democratic leaders, the soon- +r the iinprovement in the present con- | ditions of the Negro race. 3 “WASTED EFFORT” Will the Negroes in Richmond wake up and take advantage of the oppor- tunities that are being placed within their grasp? Judging the future by the past, we should say not. In the not distant past, there have been many political meetings held in this and other cities in Virginia, the prime ob- Ject.which has been to line up Negro voter In Richmond these meetings have been a total failure. The blame for the failure of such meeting to bring forth fruit has been placed by the mas- ses at the doors ,of those who were the dominant forces in such gatherings. Thess Negroes who are held responsi- ble for the failure of the plans, aims and aspiration of Richmond Negroes in the past must get off the stage be- fore the Negroes in this city can ever be induced to take an active part in polities, Those in whom they place the uutmost confidence have betrayed their trust and they will not be foolish enough to follow them again, Clinves and claans that made up slates before the meetings were called, as to who they wanted for this and that position, are obselete, as far as the Richmond Negro s| conserned. The man who is looking for financial gain at the expense of Negro voters may as well cancel his plans for the Negro in this city is wise to his whole bag of tricks, The new Negro must be put forward in the leading role before any great charges will be made inthe Moton’s Critics Are Dishonest, Uninformed By P. L Prattis, (Staff Correspondent for the ANP) Chicago, Aug,—Only the apparent eagerness of certain dishonest per- sons to obtain the slightest _pre- text to make something out of no- thing where certain individuals sre involved, impels me to place before the public what are the facts in con- neetion with the accommodations afforded the members of the Moton Educational Commission which re- cently visited Haiti, I desire to cor- rect two impressions: First, that the accommodations were rotten, Second, that Dr. Robert R, Moton, chairman of the commission. was responsible for the conditions or satisfied with them. When the members of the Forbes Commission to Haiti were trana- ported on a United States Cruiser. the idea seems to havo been born in the minds of persons who did not know any better that the ac- cepted @nd customary mode of tra- vel for a federal commission was on a United States warship. That is not always true. When President Hoover asked Dr. Moton to select a commission to study education in Haiti, Dr. Mo- ton did so because of the friendly personal relations existing between him and the President and because he felt that to decline to serve his friend would have been discourt- eous and unfriendly. The President assured Dr. Moton that he would he accorded every convenience and ac- commodation, He instructed the state department to plan the trip according to Dr. Moton’s directions. One would have thought that that would have been enough. It was not. In spite of President Hoover's explicit orders, hitches began to ‘occur tw the state department. The principal hitch involved the method of transportation. The state depart- ment made the claim that there was no warship available. Dr. Moton in- sisted that a warship be obtained and expressed his unwillingness to make the trip unless the members of his commission were surrounded with every possible dignity, He was assured that accomodations on the steamship would be proper. But he didnot get the warship in spite of the fight he put up for it. ‘The commission sailed to Port au Prince on the Steamship Ancon. It had the best accommodations | a- board. The staterooms were large and ample, containing baths, tub and shower, hot and cold running water, lavatories, closets, fans, berths, lounges, and such other ac- cessorles as are found in first-class hotels. The food was equal to. sec- ond-elass on a transatlantic liner. Tce water was kept in the state- rooms anad frujt was served every evening, The Ancon is a gavern- ment-owned vessel plying between New York anad Cristobal, Panama, It was understood when the group left New York that the earliest possible date for sailing home would be July 9, but doubt was felt about that date hecntine) Liha) passeniar’ political conditions of Richmond. Our political generals have in the past, usually been more of a hindrance than s help and maany good propos!- tions that have been offered us have blocked or retarded by these pseudo Political genfuses. The sooner we rid ourselves of these political parisites the better for the race. The only re- medy for these dishearting and aiarm- ing conditions js @ general houseclean- ing: we must get right down to “brass tacks” and do some real work. A new Political organization must be set up comprising men of all clases, trades and professions, a band of volunteers in each section must canvass their neighborhoods, going from house to house with a plea to non voters to pay their taxes and vote: Mass meetings must be held at various places and those in attendance must not only be old to pay their taxes, register and vote, but must be taught how to do these things. If they are not taught how to register, telling them to vote is wasted effort, Churehes, fraternal orders and slube can play an important part in such a noble undertaking, but in order to make a success of this or any other project individuals must forget their petty grievances against each other, personal feelings must be left at home, bury their “holier and thou” attitudes, cease trying to hog the spotlight and stealing honors that rightfully. belong to others, band ourselves together and work side-by-side for the commonweal and put down foolishism and Schisms.

When the commissfon had been two weeks in Haiti, plans for com- pleting its work were drawn up. ‘That was ten days prior to depar- ture. Dr. Moton asked the state de- partment to have a cruiser at Port au Prince to take the commission to Old Point Comfort, Va., on July 7. The state department waited sev- eral days before replying. It then sent the message that the navy de- partment was unable to make a cruiser available. Two alternatives were offered, First, to go by _alr- plane from Port au Prince to Mia- mi, Fla, Second, to take a mine sweeper for the twenty-hour trip from Port au Prince to Santiago, Cuba; to take the traln from San- tingo to Havana, where we could board a steamer for home. Dr, Moton declined the sweeper pecause there were no sleeping ac- commodations aboard and the trip might take more than twenty hours. ‘The trip by airplane to Miami was frowned on for several reasons: Some of the men did not feel that they had left their affairs in the states in the proper shape to take the riks over the water; some did not want to travel in the south, landing at Miami, and others want- ed to stop in New York. But all of them wanted to get out of Haiti, on account of the heat, as soon as their work was done. Dr. Moton was. thoroughly upset by the state department alternatives. He upbraided the tate department repreptesentative and immediately had his secretary draw up a cable- gram to President Hoover in which he protested strongly against the treatment he was receiving, Con- siderable differeulty was expeienced in getting that eablegram off. In the meantime, the commission had de- cided itself that if it could be squeezed on the Cristobal, it would leave on the ninth, providing no change was brought about by Hoov- er. Dr. Moton’s eabel to Hoover did not cause any change and the com- mission party therefore eagerly gobbled up what space remained on the Cristobal. It was the best they could obtain, and they wanted to get home. If the throwing of any brickbats is necessary in the matter, they should be thrown at the state and navy departments which. during = peroid of three months, could not find a single cruiser to put at the disposal of the commission. And there might, too, be some question of a President’s ability to get things done, No censure is too severe for the chicanery you find jn American official circles. Nevertheless, there are the s0- called smart and brilliant young Negro writers who will seize upon wisps of rumors and out of which they weave tissues of lies to cir- culate to the discredit of their own people. One of these smart gentle- men, who writes favorable comment when he is paid to do so wrote re- cently that the commission sang for the guests aboard ship and that afterward the ship's passengers gave them presents. The fact was this: Carl Murphy, president of the Baltimor Afro-American hade been 1 guest of the commission in Haiti. On Sun. night before we reached N. Y,, Mr. Murphy entertained the com- mission. The members of the com- mission party were gathered in the ship's dining room, alone. Mr. Mur- phy had written a’ sort of doggerel toast to each person and had Dought with his money a present for each member of the party, He gave out the presents. Then there were speeches of thanks to Mr. Mur- phy. It was Sunday evening. There were two ministers in the group. We decided that we would enjoy ourselves with the reading of some of the poems from Johnson's “God's Trombones”, and with singing, Then others of the ship's passengers came around, It would not have been courteous to have invited them out of the dining room or to have halted our own party in the face of their entrance. Parties had been given by the other passengers and too, all the commission bad been invited on previous nights and given the seats of honor. The commission invited mo one, but when they came, did not invite them out. T know that Mr. Murphy, who is » Harvard intellectual, must have been surprised when ho saw that one smart young man had distort- ed the purpose of his party in order 0 cast reflections upon the mem- pers of the commission. VIEWS OF ‘THE PUBLIC Shall Dr, ‘Townsend! coi, oa ROE a ER AO ae da gs) fateful blunder, has openly and flagrant ly defied the Convention's ‘will and orders for several years; and now holds _up the Sunday School Publishing Board for conspiracy and rebellion, What kind of rebellion is in mind DF. Townsend and his Board have not fail- ed to observe the minutest detail when officially informed it was the action of either the convention itself, or the Boa- rd of Directors, or of the Executive Committee, and I challenge any one to prove to the contrary. Is this Board considered to be in rebellion when it seeks to defend itself against serious and utterly groundless charges? If Dr. Williams calls upon our entire de- nomination to raise money to destroy one of its most trusted servants, would he deny that Board privilege of defend- ing the man they have learned to trust fro exmperience? Brethern of ‘our Convention, we might as well face the facts. Dr, Williams knows as well as I do that the conspiracy does not head up in the Publishing Board, but in another Board and in Chiago. And by the way the last man in our Convention to charg anybody with conspiracy and rebellion should be President Williams.) He made up his mind he wanted to become president, and he fought Dr. Williams down to his death, He put himself forward as leader in a movement ta split our National Baptist Convention by organizing a Northern Baptist Con- vention, wld he actually got together a large representation in Olivet Baptist Church to effect the organization, and it would have been a strong competitor in the field fight now if they had not elected Dr. J. C. Austin President be- cause of his great popularity, It was hoped to carry him by miking him president of the new body, but he kill- ed the movement by letting it die a natural death. Our National Baptist Convention owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Austin for helping to keep our National Baptist Convention, Incorpo- rated, intact to now. ‘ President Williams is using all his concentrated power to kill a man in every way his superior. Will he be al- lowed to do it, or will he fall into his own act He does not begin to believe Dr. Townsend killed Mr. Pierson, and yet he has studiously avoided any other clue. He knows enough about Mr. Pierson to have set detectives out on a different trail, The very idea of set- ting the whole world against a man on such a flimey excuse! I have heard several persons express the belief that Dr. Williams himself is responsible for Mr. Pierson’s death. I do not believe anything of the kind, and have so ex- pressed myself to people. But so lit- tle is the true evidence against Dr. Townsend that Dr. Williams himself would show up badly if the same kind of evidence were worked up against him For instance, Mr, Pierson told me more than once that he had trouble in straigh tening out the presidtnt’s accounts, But suppose detectives had been given this evidence together with his close rela- tions with his close friend Dr. West brook, who stood in close relation with bboth the reputed killer as well as with Mr. Pierson himself, Suppose all other possible trails had been hooted and the detectives departments of three states turned loose on him. I tell you hey would have been made to show wup very badly. But I repeat I would not begin to belfeve him guilty, nor do I know a sine Baptist preacher in the world who would have so brutally mur Jered Mr, Pierson. The manner of his murder does not show the ear-marks of nis having been killed by Negroes. His | pody was found riddled with bullets, | ind his feet tied, and with a rope a- | ound his neck. ‘ Dr. Willfams has not dared to face ’ he people over the country since thy | rest of Dr. Townsend. He called a | aII¥9 4Nq SOT "Ig 8 Sunoour prv04 (oft at once on the ground: that Dr rownsend’s accounts had not been aud- | ted. But he failed to send any aud- | tor or accountant to Nashville untill ' he Board feared its accounts would jot be audited at all before the Chingo ubilee, and therefore ngaged a firm of * ertified public accountants in the city 1 f Nashville to audit the accounts. AS 1 oon as this was known in Chiago, Dr. 1 Villiams rushes one lone accauntant yho may not be able to finish up the « york before the Jubilee, and thus he ¢ ould leave the people somewhat un- ted Dr. Townsend’s account audited at ail, for no man knows more about the famous “$62,000” loan than Dr. William and he could have stopped this scandal which has injured the Board's finan- cial standing if he had only made a suitable statement, It is understood that the accountant Dr, Williams sent to Nashville is to audit the accounts of all the Boards. Time will not allow hhim to do this throughly before the Jubilee and Dr. Williams knew it. Does hhe mean in this way to cause the dele- rates to refuse to accept tho report af the Nashville accounting firm on tht ground that his man could not finish his report, nm What a pity that just plain old trick: ery is allowed such high place in the Lord's work, Brethern if we do not rise up in our might and put an end to this order of things our children after us will lose confidence in our leaders and our religion, , And since I have started this article 1 was handed a copy of The Voice of July 19th issue with a statement by the Foreign Mission Board of the condition of its finances over the signature of certified accountants jin Philadelphia Dr. Isane and Attorney Roberson held up the issue and had the article taken aut. Some bosses, ch? The same statement appeared ‘in secular papers. Can anybody tell what's wrong about the statement in the face of eriticism? Yes, these men know Dr. Williams’ mind He does not want Dr, East's accounts nor Dr. Townsend’s accounts audited before the Jubilee for the people would expect a similar audit of Dr. Isaac's a- counts. ‘The man he sent from Chiago to Nashville is supposed to audit alf a- ccounts, which of course will be impos- sible before August 1th. Are Bap- tist pastors and churches inclined to follow the leadership of such a man any longer? = And to my mind the blackest aspect of this whole dirty seandal is the haul- ing in of the name of Dr. Towsend’s only son who is just starting on his ea reer as a physician in Chiago, Who- ever is responsible for thus trying to ruin the future of this young man is worse than a murderer, He know ab- Solutely nothing about the whole affair, And who would be so low as to take his own son into partnership if he planned to murder a man? Not the most brut- ish thug would condescent to such depts In arresting Dr, Townsend’s son for murder upon a writ of falsehood the few conspirators against Dr. Townsend's life show that nothing is too ow for them to do. And who brought about the arrest of Dr. Townsend's only son to utterly humilate his father? I have learned from reliable sources that two hundred dollars was paid to a an to sign the document by which Dr. West- brook was arrested, thus showing false testimony which no doubt was the case with the Townsends also, Anybody can be arrested an imprisoned any time if only a person will swear to the war rant whether it turns out to be false or érue, Let our Baptist brotherhood know that through false testimony the Townsends were both arrested, and that when the case came to trail’ in court they were all thrown out, Do our peo- ple all know this, and realize that the ’ Townsends have already been cleared nf the murder charge? ‘This conspirae charge in only an excuse to keen Dr, Townsend from attending the Jubjlee Convention. Who is behind all this rickery? Certainly not the state of indifana. Who advised the lawyers to get out the conspiracy charge? Quite in effort is being made to impress the yeople that the quashing of the murder harge was simply due to a technicality, yeeause no man ean commit murder in ndiana unless he is actually in the tate at the time. There is great good ense in blieving no man could murder | man unless he was where the man was nurdred, but why were the eases of ley, Westbrook and Mr, Washington Iso thrown out of the same court? joth of these men were in Indiana, No, e. The real fact is Dr, Townsend tands already cleared of the chaarge y the court because of the lack of vidence. on ‘And now brethern it {s up to us to tand by Dr. Townsend. We should ot only vindicate him, but should ex- ress our confidence in him in such aanner that our voice will be heard a- ound the whole world.

Proceed." AMPLIFIER: "At 11:30 A. M. I mean right on the 'dot,' the SERVICES were opened in its usual order, with the choir singing the opening song. Rev. Scott C. Burrell prayed an ardent prayer. Followed, was a hymn: 'There is a Funtain filled with Blood.' This hymn was sung by choir and congregation." SISTER CARROLL: "Now tell us who read the Scripture lesson?" AMPLIFIER: "Rev. Bro. Hill read the Scripture lesson, and Licentiate Brp. Motley, of Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, offered prayer. In fact, they spent about thirty minutes in inspirational song and prayer services, which all seemed to have enjoyed." BRO. CARROLL: "Wish we had been there to enjoy those praise services. Talk on, we hear you." AMPLIFIER: "O, yes, am sure that you would have enjoyed them. As I was fixing to say, Brother A. W. Dandridge, the church clerk, came to the front, walking thrifty, and read the regular church announcements. After which, the active Usher gathered the missionary offering. At the same time, the ushers of the Junior Church gathered their offering for missions. The Senior choir furnished excellent music while these collections were being lifted." SISTER CARROLL: "That's very good. I see that Dr. Parham has been successful in getting his JUNIOR CHURCH organized!" AMPLIFIER: "Oh, yes; and they are very proud to do their bit in helping to put over the Master's program. These young people, who were recently organized at Mosby Memorial, are working zealously. 'Yea,' they ought to give the young people a CHANCE to WORK in the Church as well as the older members of the Church." AMPLIFIER: "Now, as I was saying, after the missionary offering was raised, the vast audience listened intensely to a THRILLING song, rendered by the JUNIOR CHURCH Choir.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1930 A. B. "But Sent An Able Man And His Comforter Along" On Wednesday night, July 23, 1930, at 8:00 P.M., Rev. W. T. Johnson, D.D., pastor First Baptist Church, and his able choir were programed. Dr. W. T. Johnson was ill but he did not forget to send an able representative to serve in his place. It was the Rev. Dr. A. S. Thomas, former pastor of Sharon Baptist Church. As the Lord sent Aaron with Moses, to carry the great message to King Pharaoh, because Moses could not talk plain; so did Dr. W. T. Johnson of First Baptist Church, send his choir along to assist his appointee Rev. A. S. Thomas, to tell "Doctor Parham, that he better lead God's Children Onward." (Laughter). Rev. Thomas preacht an awakening sermon. The services were splendid. Bro. A. W. Dandridge, the church clerk, made the address of welcome on behalf of the Sunday School. Mrs. Elnora Hicks, presided with dignity. The Church extends thanks to both, Drs. Johnson and Thomas. And the renowned, Rev. Dr. J. H Moore, pastor of the great Mount Zion Baptist Church, Rocky Mount, N. C., was the eloquent speaker for the day. Dr. Moore is also Recording Secretary of the Lott Carey Con- vention. Cosmopolitan, that is what Dr. Moore is; as a HUB to a WHEEL, so is Dr. Moore to the g eneral interests f the races." BRO. CARROLL: "I-C. What time did Dr. Moore commence preaching?" AMPLIFIER: "Te-hee; just have a little more patience—you are anxious to know about the SERMON. I am going to tell you about it now." BRO. CARROLL: "Yes, we are very anxious to hear something about the sermm. Ah, please go on and tell us. Don't be so unreasonable and stingy with your information. Let us hear about the message." AMPLIFIER: "Thanks, if you don't be so avaricious, I won't be so stingy. I am trying to give you the services in order. And since you are so insatiable, you shall wait until I say this:——" AMPLIFIER: "Rev. Washington, Master of Ceremonies, turned the introduction of the SPEAKER over to the pastor (Rev. Parham) to introduce to the great waiting congregation, the eminent, Rev. Dr. J. H. Moore. The pastor introduced Dr. Moore, in high terms, as well as in words most fitting." BRO. CARROLL: "What was Dr. Moore's text and subject?" AMPLIFIER: "This was the INSTALLTION SERMON. Before Dr. Moore announced his text, he made some very pleasing remarks, in the way of CONGRATULATION; after which, he sang: 'Am I a Soldier of the Cross', etc. This hymn was sung with spirit and enthusiasm. His subject was: 'THE LOVE OF CHRIST RESTRAINS THEE.' Text found in 2 Corinthians 5: 14. (Read it)." BRO. CARROLL: "How was his discourse and delivery?" AMPLIFIER: "It was logical, spiritual, interesting, lifting, magnetic, convincing and instructive. His delivery was masterly, powerful, eloquent, dramatic and well prepared. Dr. Moore, with his intellectual brush, painted many desirable pictures. The spiritual waves penetrated from heart to heart. 'Amens, were loud and numerous.' Those who did not cry aloud, used their charitable handkerchiefs to catch the silent tears flowing from their weeping eyes. This sermon will linger long into the minds of those who were so fortunate as to hear it." SISTER CARROLL: "Oh, I certainly wish I could have heard Dr. Moore." BRO. CARROLL: "Did Dr. Moore INSTALL the pastor, (Dr. S. L. Parham) at the morning or at the night services?" AMPLIFIER: "He installed the PASTOR Sunday mornng, August 3, 1980, just at the close of his sermon." BRO. CARROLL: "What method did Dr. Moore use to INSTALL him?" AMPLIFIER: "He (Dr. Moore) had Rev. Parham to stand (as he, Rev. Parham, was already on the rostrum), and the deacons to stand around the rostrum also. The congregation was full so solemnity, while Dr. Moore was MARRRING Dr. Parham to MOSBY MEMORIAL BPTIST CHURCH. As you know, the DEACONS represented the CHURCH. It was a very IMPRESIVE SCENE, and every one was A. B. B. SENIOR CHOIR NIGHT On Thursday night, July 24, 1930, at 8:00 P.M., right on the dot, the eminent, Rev. A. W. Brown, D.D., pastor of the renowned Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, his choir and congregation were on the job. Dr. Brown, in his usual 'high order,' conducted the devotions. After which, Bro. H. Coy, deliverer a telling address of welcome on behalf of the Senior Choir. Mrs. Marian Settles, Mistress of Ceremonies, fittingly presented to the vast audience the speaker for the evenng—Dr. A. W. Brown. "Kingdom Types," was his discourse. Search for Saint Matthew 25:14. The delivery was impressive. His masterly spiritual sermon showed that he is an able, consecrated and progressive divine. Many thanks extended to Dr. Brown, his choir and congregation for rendering such excellent services. astounded by his logical way, in which he INSTALLED Dr. Parham." BRO. CARROLL: "U-Hush-Ampie; don't you know I wish I could have seen that marriage. I wonder how did Rev. Parham feel? I am sure he felt GOOD, to be MARRIED to such a LOVELY BRIDE as Mossy Memorial, corner Randolph Street and Idlewood Avenue, Richmnd, Va." AMPLIFIER: "I don't know how he felt, but I saw Dr. Parham using his handkerchief to catch his silent tears, while Dr. Moore was officiating. After the Installation, the Senior Choir sang the closing number; the congregation was dismist to return at 3:30 P. M., to COMMUNION SERVICES." BRO.

CARROLL: "Did you attend the COMMUNION Services?" AMPLIFIER: "No, I did not attend the Communion Services. But it is reported that they had an enjoyable time. Many people were present. I was back on the job at night." SISTER CARROLL: "I know you are going t tell us about the night services. Continue." AMPLIFIER: "Yes, yes, yes, Sister Carroll. I'll tell you a little about the night services. Devotions were conducted by the pastor. He led Hymn No. 161; he also read the Scripture lesson. Bro. Drew offered fervent prayer. And the Choir rendered a thrilling Anthem." SISTER CARROLL: "What was Rev. Dr. Moore's Subject at night?" AMPLIFIER: "His Subject was: 'CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP. Text. Luke 16: 2.' SISTER CARROLL: "How was this sermon on 'Stewardship?'" AMPLIFIER: "Don't say a sermon; it was a SERMONIC masterpiece of ministerial lore. It was a POWER. Dr. Moore made it so plain that even the smallest child could understand it, and see his responsibility of being God's Steward. If all who heard this sermon would take it in, the churches would not have any trouble about their finances whatever." SISTER CARROML: "That's right. Amplifier, but such a few of us take in the things that are most benefit to us. It just seems to be our weakness." SISTER CARROLL: "Were many present at night?" AMPLIFIER: "Yes, the Church was filled to its capacity Sunday night. People were there from many Churches in the city." BRO. CARROLL: "Did they announce how much was raised during these Installation Services. If so, tell us?" AMPLIFIER: "I rather not say, but I suppose they raised nearly Five Hundred Dollars." BRO.

We shall carry the good news back to North Carolina, so that his good friends there may know what Richmond is doing for him." SISTER CARROLL: "We are leaving this city Friday morning, if we can find it convenient we will call by to see you before we go, but for fear it will be impossible to get back, we will bid you a fond 'farewell', wishing you much success and the Blessings of God, until we meet again." AMPLIFIER: "I am glad you still stopped by to see me, it is very pleasing to meet new friends. I am glad that I could tell you enough about North Carolina that the good old State of Virginia will take care of her son, Dr. Parham.

AMPLIFIER: "Nope, they did not wait, Mrs. M. E. Cousins presided until Mrs. Shelton came in." SISTER CARROLL: "Now go on and tell us about the Program." AMPLIFIER: "The Mosby Memorial Sunday School Orchestra rendered several excellent selections on this program. Mrs. Martha Pryor Richmond's great Elocutionist, gave an excellent reading; she really displayed dramatic skill in rendering this reading. Miss Florence Fields, one of our Virtuosos, held the audience 'spell bound' as she played that beautiful Organ Solo." AMPLIFIER: "The Famous Sabbath Blee Club, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Matthews, rendered two excellent selections. Miss Eloise Bolling sang: 'Open the Gates of the Temple.' Her tones were sweet and melodious, and as they rang thru the building, I am sure that the audience thought they were listening to a 'Night-in-Gale.'"

PAGE FOUR (Continued from Page 1) ship involved, it means that, in so far as negro Tailors and Dressmakers are concerned, they are not a thing earns; but a taken-for-grown portion of the general business fabric of the country. When all of our 58 manufacturing interests, and all of the 179 different retail mercantile groups of the country become so regarder, the economic welfare of the race group will have been far advanced. More than three billion dollars are spent annually to dress the American citizen and his family. Numerically, one-tent of this market is racially Negro. While the race boasts of few aristocrats who may be indifferent to clothing costs, these folks constitute and important part of the patronage of tailors and dressmakers. You are the privileged caterers to the appeal needs of many of these people. The success of a number of the members of this body as tailors and dressmakers to the general public of your respective communities and the distinction which some of you enjoy of having a patronage among even the most exclusive and wealthy, tells a most significant story of genuine opportunity. With that democratic opportunity there is, however, the necessity and responsibility of keeping thoroughly abreast of the times. Your convention and your trade journal show that you are trying to do that in precisely the same way as do all other competent tradespeople. According to the latest available figures, Cran's 1925 Market Data Publication, the tabulation of the Government Census of Distribution being as yet incomplete: $1,025,203,085is spent for men's clothing. $250,000,000 is spent for cleaning dying. $1,293,705,291 is sentp for women's gar- ments and millinery. $80,000,000 is spent for domestic furs. $135,000,000 is spent for imported furs. $89,065,341 is spent for millinery, lace goods and feathern. $18,173,574 is spent for needles, pins, hooks, etc. Just assuming that you had a share of this business in porportion to the numerical strength of the race, doing as you do considerable for those of other races to counterbalance the loss of the business of those Negroes who spend elsewhere, your share would be over three hundred millions of annual business. There is a tremendous market available to those who seek it with efficiency and good business judgement. Twenty-three thousand nine hundred and fifty stores; 6,112 factories, 1,897 contract shops and 2,406 plants are necessary to handle the business in your lines. Nn less than 62 trade journals are sustained to keep the business informed as to trade progress. There has been an increase in the dress and cost sales on the part of merchants. It is obvious from this that if you would progress, some among you must eventually contemplate mass production. This is especially true with reference to work clothes and other commodities that lend them selves to mass production. The cleaning and dyeing business has shown one of the greatest examples of growth in the annals of American business. In five years it has grown 92.5 per cent. I am pleased to report that many Negro owned businesses in this group have grown with the trade. Substantial investments are reported in over a hundred cities. There is room for development for many more. This is likewise true of an allied industry, the laundry. Returning to the needle trades, it is found that practically 12 per cent of the gross income of the business is paid out in wages, 11,93 per cent to be exact. And 2 per cent in advertising. Carried to the ultimate conclusion suggestion a while ago, this would mean $360 millions in wages to workers and the distribution of more than 60 millions to newspapers and other advertising media. Reduced to hundred dollar a month jobs, that would mean 30,000 people employed, something for you to think over. While building your own business, may I remind the tailors that they can only survive and succeed as do others businesses and professions; and that the welfare of all must be regarded, do your bit and don't be selfish. Unfortunately I must leave early tomorrow morning to attend another convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, and this time I cannot remain with you for your highly interesting business sessions. But you may be assurer that in spirit, I shall be with you.

The new Shaw coach, whose home is in Rocky Mount, is now studying at Harvard in the department of physical education.

Crump. Blames Ignorance For Loss Of Fight New York, Aug.—(By The Associated Press.)—Canada Lee, back from a trip to Cuba where he lost a close fight to Angel Aras, says conditions in that section are not so good as far as the fighting game is concerned. His inability to speak Spanish was a hindrance to Lee, who is one of the classiest of the younger set of welters in the game. Lee is at present under the management of Guiterrez, manager of Kid Chocolate, and his future seems assured. While he may never win any championships, Lee will give some of the current crop of welters considerable to think about. "Hallelujah" Star Weds Prizefighter Los Angeles, Cal., Aug.—(ANP) According to a story appearing in the California News, Nina Mae McKinney, star of the motion picture "Hallelujah" was married on the night of July 23 to Willie "Gorilla" Jones, outstanding welterweight prize fighter. The marriage ceremony is reported to have been performed aboard the ship, off from San Francisco. "I love my husband," Miss McKinney is reported to have told a reporter. "He is the finest man I ever met. We are really in love I will not give up my movie career at this time, but my husband and I will sail for Europe the latter part of the fall." Miss McKinney's age was given as eighteen, and Mr. Jones' at twenty-six. This is her first matrimonial venture. As a wedding present from her husband she received a pair of diamond studded earrings, and a black and silver Lincoln roadster. Jones is a native of Akron, Ohio, where he is owner of a hotel and night club. He is a contender for the welterweight championship, and has not lost a fight in six months. At present he and his wife are At present he and his wife are residing in San Francisco. Porto Ricas Featherweight Stirs Fans New York, August—(ANP) They call him Kolo Koli, but he surely has a wallop in that right hand. Thursday night at the Olympia Club, this same Kolo scored his second consecutive knockout. Phil Verdi he victim this time. Last week in making his debut in New York, Kolo disposed of Jackie Bitz, known as the German featherweight champion. Verdi is no feathereweight, as his 133 pounds attest, but his six-pound advantage over the newest importation from the islands, didn't let that stop him from smacking Verdi to the vancess three times in that first canto, the last time for the entire count. The referee could have counted forty over Verdi as far as that goes, for he was out, way out. Three thousand wildly cheering Porto Ricans acclaimed their countryman as he hammered his way to a beautiful victory over his opponent. According to information sent by Kolo's manager, Kid Chocolate refused an offer of $10,000 to box this sensational featherweight. On August 14, Kolo met Nick DeSalve at the Olympia Club in a ten round bout as the feature. Other good fighters from the little Island on the same card scoring wins were August Perez, a lightweight and Jose Pimental, a weaker, both of whom looked very good. Airman H. F. Julian Returns Triumphant New York. Aug.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—The commander-in-chief of the Royal Absinian Air Forces, Captain Hubert Fauntelroy Julian, formerly identified with the Garvey Air Forces, arrived in New York this week, on a visit from his new charge. Attired in a pith hat, a monocle, polo shirt, white riding breeches with green stripes and Paris made boots with huge spurs on them, the Captain descended on unsuspecting Harlem and took it by storm. However, Friday morning, he was more rationally attired, being dressed in a blue serge suit, a stiff wing collar, and straw hat, as he conversed with Caspar Holstein on the corner of 138th street and Lenox Avenue. Captain Julian declared he was able to make a fight for the exalted ruler of Africa's inland empire, winning a medal and ten thousand dollars. One of the most distinguished features of the Captain's hectic career, which included the role of parachute jumper when he nearly wrecked a local police station descending out of the blue dressed up in a red suit imitating the devil, was his famies nonstop flight to Liberia," which ended in the mud Konjola --the medicine that has made more than a million friends. 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. 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 BELIEVES THOMPSON CAN BE TAUGHT TO BEAT CORBETT Los Angeles, Cal., Cal. Aug. (By ANP) Although Welterweight Champion Young Jack Thompson took a neat lasing from Young Corbett III on July 4, and despite the fact that Corbett has handed similar pastings to the best of the other men in the division, one man has been found who feels that Thompson can be trained to defeat the Fresno demon if he and Corbett meet in a championship match. This view is held by Watson Burns, an oldtimer among prize fight trainers, who handled Thompson in his less rosy days and used to work with Jack Johnson. Burns theories are so sentient that they have gained for him the title of professor. He feels that all Thompson needs to take into account is Corbett's left-handed style of fighting and solve the puzzle that there is in it. Corbett's peculiar manner of using his left glove enables him to shoot over heavy blows from unexpected angles. His style is what is called unorthodox. Thompson, Burns believes, is speedier, cleverer, and possesses a superior punch, all of which assets can be used to his advantage if the proper study is made of Corbett's fighting methods. Wash Up After The Swim By A. B. Jackson, M. D (ANP) Bathing beaches, swimming holes, lakes, brooks, and rivers invite us to forget the heat and cool off for a while. Whether we strike out boldly into deep water or merely venture out up to the waist, there is no more pleasant way of spending a summer afternoon. Part of the joy lies in lolling about after the refreshing dip. Picnic lunches are especially satisfying to appetites made keen by exercise, water, and air. For those actively inclined a game of ball helps to make the hours pass pleasantly. Others are satisfied to gaze up at the clouds or listen to the lap of the waters against the shore. By the time we are ready to dress and go home, however, part of the exhilaration is likely to have vanished. Particles of moist earth or sand irritate the skins. Crumbs from the picnic lunch cling to our fingers and lips. Even if we plunge into the water again before dressing, there remains a sticky feeling that makes putting on clothes somewhat uncomfortable. Most modern bathing beaches are equipped with showers so that a towel and cake of soap are the only extra equipment needed to enable the bather to wash up before dressing. If no clean, fresh water is available, the next best procedure is to step into a cleansing bath as soon as you reach home. For the best way to prolong the pleasant sense of well-being that results from a dip in the deep is thorough washing with soap and water. flats of Flushing when one of the pontoons on his machine dropped the bottom of the deck of both the pontoons and dullium. 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 leared 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 spells are 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.

JAMAICA IS A LAND OF BLACKS AND BROWNS Chicago, Aug.— (BYANP) Confirmations of the suspicions written into his book, "Hot Countries," by Alec Waugh, that the West Indies of the future are to be Negro lands, is contained in a recent letter received by a Chicago from a friend now living in Kingston, Jamaica. This friend writes: "There is only the one fire brigade in the island. It is composed of black men. Every engineer, conductor, brakeman, on all trains, is black. Every street car motorman and conductor is black. Every policeman is black. Every dress making establishment is owned by black or colored people. Every jeweler is black or colored. Every bar maid is black or colored. Every hospital] is manned by black or colored dispensers, black, or colored matrons or black or colored nurses. Every public general institution includes on its staff black or colored officials. The postmaster general is colored, the mail carriers are all black, the typists, clerks, and head of departments are black or colored. The water police are all black or colored. All the postmistresses on the island are black or colored. All railway station masters and telegraphers are black or colored. Every theatre booking agency is colored, not black. Every music salesroom, for instruments, music, etc., is operated by brown or mulatto persons, no blacks. Every drug store in Kingston is operated by browns, blacks, or mulattoes. The writer also explains that there is no great separation within the race on account of color, but a separation of class, depending on one's family, profession, or achievements. 1276 Lakeview Avenue Ice Cream, Soft Drinks, Candies, Cigars and Cigarettes MEALS Served At All Hours Mrs. Charlotte Brown, Prop. Decision Unpopular Before a crowd of some 25,000 rabid and frenzy fans who crowded the Polo Grounds, Jackie Berg, the British Lightweight pugilist was awarded a 2 to 1 decision over "Kid" Chocolate in a ten round bout Thursday night. The decision of the referee and one of the two judges was very unpopular with the majority of the fans. The fighters fought at close range and exchanged punches like zig zig lightning. While Chocolate hit harder and cleaner blows than the Britiser. Berg exhibited more aggressiveness and stamina than his rival. The Associated Press stroche sheet however favored Chocolate in six rounds as against four for Berg.

Quite a few of our people attended Childrens Day exercise at Fairfield Sunday night. Mrs. E. E. Firie of New York City is Business And Industry Conditions Unsettled The monthly report of the nation's business issued by the National City Bank of New York, indicates that general business conditions are still very unsatisfactory. The optimism of a month ago seems not to have been justified by the trend of events. Market indices show a continued decline in commodity wholesale prices. This fact appears to be relieving manufacturers of their inventories and surplus stocks and will eventually call for renewed production at a later date. A disappearance of large surplus stocks is seen also by the fact that department stores are selling more commodities this year than they did in 1929 aloft the value of sales is slightly off. Retail prices are, of course, generally lower. Steel production continues to decline. The production of automobiles is considerably behind last year though a slight improvement in this industry is noticeable from month to month. Agriculture is in a somewhat favorable situation than last year due to very favorable crop prospects. Low prices, however, prevail, and the general outlook is not optimistic. In view of these very general depressing influences it is apparent that colored laborers throughout the country will do well to maintain a very high level of efficiency on the job as further unemployment may be looked for. Strict economy of present incomes is also essential in order to have surplus funds for further decline in employment. The general business outlook is not hopeful. Programs of rigid economy and thrift are, consequently, in order for the average wage earner. Well-Known Church Worker, of Rich- mond, Glad to Tell What New Medicine Did For Her. MRS.

It was predicted by Miss Williams that the 1930 cen- sus will show a drop of 3 per cent in the above figure. Concerning the health of Negro children, it was stated by N. C. Newbold, director, Division of Negro ‘Attendance, State Department of Public Instruction at Raleigh, N. C- in reading a National Education As- sociation committee report, that no wothwhWe health.¥education pro- gram could be found anywhere mong colored public schools; that the death rate among colored school chil- dren is more than six times as high as that among white children of the same age. ‘There is some improvement in this condition—thousands of Negro chil- dren are being treated in dental clin- fes and for communicable diseases. ‘An effort is being made by a commit- tee of the National Teachers Associs- tion to secure Federal appropriations with which to promote healtheduca- tion among Negro children. W. A. Robinson, reported on a survey of seventy-seven of the lead- ng high schools in sixteen southern states. The report showed that for the most part, Negro high schools in these states are ‘overcrowded; teach- ers overworked and under-paid; that there is a lack of library, laboratory and gymnasium facilities or a. pro~ gram of physical education with @ lack of emphasis upon artistic and cultural studies and aesthetic envi- ronment, such as music and beauti- fying of buildings and grounds; that the janitors force in most ‘of these schools is too small to keep the build- jngs clean. The order of the states jn which these conditions show to best advantage were listed by Prof. Robinson as follows: “From the point of view of the teacher's salaries— Missouri, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennesse, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Arkansas, North Carolina, Louisian- na, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, ‘Mississippi, Alabama. ‘From the poin tof view of high school libraries: Missguri, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Arkan- sas, West Va.

From the point of view of supply: ing industrial and vocational train ing—Missouri( Virginia, Arkansas, West Va.

Tex- as, North Carolina, Virginia, Ken- tucky, and no perceptable' chice among the others.” G, David Houston, principal of the WpK Armstrong Technical High School of Washington, D. C. speaking on the present status of trade and vocation- al education said, “The teaching of Greek and Latin in the United State: is confined to the colored schools oi the South. ‘While colored wchildres are trying to learn how Caesar built bridges, white children are learning to build bridges of their own, of which Caesar had no conception.” He urged the importance of mod- ‘ern equipment in vocational schools to keep pace with the machinery ot present day interests, and urged ‘that expert mechanics, able to corelate re- lated subjeca matter were more suit- able as teachers in vocational schools than merely college graduate with degrees with which ‘to satisfy the vanity of the school as an adorn- ment on the pages of its calalog. He urged that intelligent students be directed to vocational courses, rather than to make these cuorses for the academically unfit. Dean Dwight 0. Holmes, of How- ard University, president of the Ax sociation of Collegs of Negro Youth, spoke of the achievement of that association in perfecting an arrange- ment whereby the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States is to rate Negro col- Jeges of the South on the same scale with which the white collegs are rated, funds for this project being provided by the General Education Board. _ Dean Holmes insisted, that while this is an achievement of the asso- ciation, it means that colored clo- leges being rated by such a standard will have teed to put forth every pos- | sible effort to so improve their cours- es of study, quality of instruction, and physical equipment as to meet the requirements of the Southern al Kin Of Moton (Continued from Page 1) sermon by the Rev.

Though con- scious to near the end some three hours later, Miss Booth was never able to tell who her slayer was. Dr. Eugene H.

She had dreamed dreams Ike all young women will, and made up her mind that she would never rest until she had found a man who would fulfill the requirements she had in mind. She was set on that, and couldn’t be convinced that no guch man existed in the world. She wanted a man who would be rough and gentle at the same time, @ combination of cave man and dilettante. A man who could use nice language, take a drink, swear and pray, one after the other. He would, she said, have to treat her rough when she wanted to be treat- ed rough, and then he would have to be refined and gentle when she wanted him to be that way. However, she made it known that she didn’t want a man who would make it at all necessary for her to tell him when to slap her and when to take her in his arms. He would have to be intelligent enough to know when her peculiar moods changed. Therefore the Yellow Rose cannot reasonably be blamed for her esca- pades, and for doing things that the average girl would not even remote- ly contemplate. Of course, since the Yellow Rose was in quest of the original man, she was partial to a stranger. She would make a date with a man she had never seen be- fore more readily than she would make a date with a man she had known all of her life. Some of the men she met were too kind to her, and never became “cave-mannish” enough. Others proved too crude, and they did not adopt gentle tactics at the proper time, And, on the whole, every man that Yellow Rose encountered, proved entirely unsatisfactory until she met Mathew Hallet, waiter at one of the fashionable restaurants of the~town where she had taken up her permanent abode, in a small house at the edge of the city limits. Rose had some money in her own right, at least enough to enter busi- ness, But she wrote music as a pas- time, being somewhat skilled in this line, yet never composed a success- ful composition, However, she did not have to be worried over finan- cial matters, and she had, for a place of its kind, a comfortable house. In the backyard was a large well, its top made of stone, standing three feet above the ground. The depth of the well was startling, when one chanced to look into the darkness below when the sun was shining at a certain angle and caught a glimpse of the water line. Moreover, it was a very small well in diameter. But the water was always cold and refreshing. People said this well was one of the features of the place; and many paid visits to the home of the Yel- 2) ; - i i PY ee e | Re ce . — ae: x Ss ee w/e CLAYTON CROSBY, the young as- sistant to the St, Louis detective who handled the tragic case. low Rose to be able to enjoy a drink of the water. Within a short time after Rose had moved into the house and re~ paired the well, the well became # thing quite famous. Nobody ever visited the house without noticing this peculiar well. That was where Rose met Mathew Hallet for the first time. He had been driving along tie dusty oad in June, just as the sun was set- ting, and had spied the well from the road that twisted itself along like a dog’s hindleg; and without hesitation, he had parked his rig and gone around the house to the backyard, where he drew himself a fresh bucket of water and quenched his thirst, Then Rose came out of her bedroom, which faced the well, and said, “Hello.” “Just came here for a drink,” Hal- let explained, “I hope you don’t mind.” Rose shook her head. “Certainly not,” she expostulated, “There is more water there than I can ever use, and besides, I like to see people enjoy it.” She looked Hallet over carefully. Evidently she was pleased with what her eyes observed. The man was tall, well built and neat in his at- tire. He was not without a certain type of handsomeness, Of course it is doubtful whether Hallet was aware of the fact that he was being gazed upon with in- How the Beautiful Yellow Rose Sought the Ideai Mate, But Found Instead Death at the Hands of the Man Who Almost Met Her Ideal ae ae G ie, SPO se. hg ae g a ia oF Ss ales ee. we - : ne 2 ae ee e ie , ey pase, “ a epee cel j 7 ee TS of. a Br’ Sta, Oe Gol Pa @ BG, ee a a B: —— 7 Yi 4 St ee — TM YUOr—“——— : eae fae | <n, Yee Vor (Oy . << Lae Bt - ee ee mae is a NS ERR Sey Le 7 SS : SS Zoe. we O48 Jo3 RSS AN Se & SS eo Site a UTA Loe Es hg : BU e/ a Z 4 an GP A iy SIF & f GY we aN LP Y ») ids 2 f T Ts ‘a - ' Sd I Bis P f 4 fas 1 42 D Vip yf Hee ON ody ix taste: , GP fa > Ce : \: a Young mai who climbed tne qh a ids wage Jeg OS Oe longing to the deceased slayer. f oY 6 2 fl 2 BD * A ny ss 1 4 4 Oe Beek eee o y S os ne ee oe ha be ‘ s i e * avy os A Bicol t : A. * a) fhe Tee htt gk ea fe a ee Pe i. we eee , ee ew aS arte cee oe? sot RR EE ace pia ei f eae s RAE oF RRM ice ai — . ot Sa “gases A ie ees is F ee 5 aR. 3 <u ota ‘ ita OPE tLe, Tec pre ee Re Sor . = ne Le 2 pees ie: Se. he? fo ? ge Pe oo é ‘ee Pee oo es «ecient aaillag cs Sr es ue’: NaN etme ee et a oh r Beg ee ae eee, Pe ee Oras.

He was apparently as much pleas- ed with what his eyes beheld as was Rose. But he stood quite mo- tionless for a moment, and no words issued from his lips, It was Rose «ial cb NMI atch who continued the conversation, and they did not part that evening, until they had struck up a better acquaintance. After a while — possibly two months—Hallet made up his mind that he wanted to enter some sort of business, and eventually decided upon/a restaurant. He did not have the capital, but was sure that he could borrow it from Rose. However, when he broached the subject, she a ee promptly turned him down. “I won't. give you a dime,” she said vigorously, “Besides that, May I wouldn't have a man who had t¢ depend on a woman, I’ve got mon. ey, I always keep a small sum in the house.

If you don’t care enough for me not to want my money, you're simply not the man I’m looking for, and I've wasted a lot of valuable time.” When they had reached this point in their acquaintance, Mat proved conclusively that he was the origi- nal man, They had been carrying on a clandestine love affair, and Rose had manifested considerable love for Hallet. But when the lat- ter broached money to her, he de- gressed from the path of her ideal man, He made a mistake. Mistakes of that sort are easy to make, but they sometimes prove costly, When Hallet found that Rose did not aim to assist him in launching his new restaurant, he made more violent love to her, and she responded. They must have spent the big- gest part of the night together; at least the evidence pointed out that someone in the woman's confidence had been with her, and the floor of her private room was littered with cigarette stubs. However, there was no way of tracing these, and when the woman’s body was found in the well, on the bottom, with her Continued on Page Two = Treasure - Hunting For Antiques pe = ; oe re : pet —- : o ck” pe ee PA >) toa bet Qi ta we eee a oP} yo Ga E | oe) ie aN : . ‘ Jy 6 © oY ame — Sgt ¢o° SC a a a ee oy book : 4 a) eee Ot eee ma aN te MG nae Bes ye has Be kle ies | a my ee cine ¢ eet eee f .

She deals in antiques, and her life is full of incidents in which she has found treasure in the most out-of-the-way places. Once she heard that an old fashioned house in South Orange, New Jersey, was being torn down. Hurrying to this house, she began searching among the trash hoping to find something of value. The best that she could find was an old tripod, probably over two cen- turies old. Imagine her delight when she discovered that this tripod was worth fifty dollars. Fifty dollars found in a trash heap! ‘The value of the article lay in the fact that it was an antique. There are people who spend an entire life- time collecting ancient objects of his- torical value. Thus the quill pen that George Washington used in writing his famous diary would be worth mere than its weight in gold today. This three-legged article that Mrs. Driggins found, was made in the early days of New Jersey history, and because of its rarity she was able to sell it for a good price. ‘Mrs. Driggins had another experi- YES.

When one of her customers came in, Mrs. Driggins put the print on display. In examining it, the customer let the picture drop and it came out of the frame. When they picked it up it was discovered that another picture had been placed behind the first one, probably to hold it in place. This second picture was a genuine work of art, Its value was several hundred dollars. Rivaling this incident is the case in which Mrs. Driggins secured an ap- parently worthless antiquated card table for seventy-five cents and sold it for three hundred dollars. What influenced Mrs. Driggins to deal in antiques? She is a married woman and her husband is well able to provide for their needs. It all grew out of her ambition to own 4 home; not just a few rooms, but a large well furnished home. ‘With this in mind, she began col- ec Dead at The Castle of Crime Continued from Page One his investigation, and it was pri. hands bound securely behind her, her mouth gagged and a pistol bullet in her left breast, the authorities real- ae that they facea a baffling situa- ion. ‘On top of the well was a rock that welges a ton, which could not be easily removed. The heavy rock was what attracted the attention of the authorities, and an immediate inves- tigation was pursued. Tt was a week later before Hallet was arrested, but he was released for lack of evidence. He died a few years Jater in an insane asylum, But he never confessed his crime, It re- mained for Godfrey to bring in posi- tive evidence of his guilt a few weeks ago. ‘There were so many men in the woman’s life that no proof could be found to fasten the guilt on any one particular individual. ‘They all went free, the case establishing itself as one of those unsolved mysteries which time alone can solve. Godfrey cleared it up by productos the lost pistol that Hallet had which he discovered in a tree, se- curely fastened with a heavy wire around a thick limb. That is hov Hallet ditched his gun after commit- ting the crime.

She did not confine her- self to the gaudy modern stuff, but collected some of that fine old fur- niture that our grandparents used to have. In this way she came across her first antique. She sold it and used the money to buy more. | “My scheme was to keep those ar- ticles which I liked and sell the others,” she said. “With the money realized from the sale, I would buy more furniture, keeping that which I liked and selling the rest. Before 1 realized it, I was a full-fledged an- tique dealer, and I have been one ever since.” However, she has not abandoned the plans for her home. In her little shop at No, 6 South Orange Avenue, South Orange, New Jersey, she has stored a remarkable collection of household furnishings. Here one may see that famous old Sheffield plate, so prized by the Victorians, quaint old chinaware that once graced the home of some by-gone social leader, and @ wonderful collection of vases and pitchers that still retain their luster, in spite of age. When Mrs, Driggins's home be- comes a reality it will be a show place for all to admire, In the meanwhile, she is still treasure hunting. GOOD NIGHT!

This could have been done, Godfrey explained, by Hallet having the rock loaded on a hay rack sometime beforehand on his mother's small farm.

They claim in this manner to achieve physically a more robust health, and @ greater mental concentration. The professed ascetic only carrics the practice further by more consts- tent effort and without distraction. His control over respiration and cir- culation becomes surer; the pauses of his heart-beat longer and more cer- tainly controlled. By the late afternoon our ascetic’s breathing has become almost inpe:- ceptible. He lets himself slide slowly down upon the sand, outstretched like a corpse; his body stiffens and his muscles become rigid.

Verna admires this brilliant black met, but is surprised that he does not men. He takes her to dinner and show before, but makes no proposals to her. Verna Nash, poor, beautiful but ambitious, refuses, against the advice of her mother, to marry Dick Colvin, uncount laborer. Donald Baxter, unscrupulous gambler from Kalesburg, rescued her from the forced attentions of Dick, only to himself succumb to her irresistible charms, and lavishes attentions upon her without avail. She consents to take a position as entertainer at Baxter's cabaret. Dick seeks to prevent her leaving Norrisburg for that purpose but without success. After thrilling adventures she escapes from Baxter's clutches and is befriended by Rev. Hugh Godfrey, handsome young clergyman, who also immediately falls under the spell of her charm. Loving no man and being ambitious, she refuses Godfrey's proposal of marriage and leaves for Welch, W.Va. As waitress in a cafe there, she is wooed by young Dr. Charlie Meyers, a wealthy dentist. To escape his attentions she accepts a job as maid for a mine superintendent in the hills. Six months later, the superintendent's daughter, Margot Yancey, an artist, visits her father and raves over Verna's beauty and voice, and urges her to come to New York City; that she will help her if she does. Sometime later, having run into Dick Colvin again, Verna goes to New York. Taken in hand by Margot Yancey, she became a successful artists' model in Greenwich Village and is soon making more money than she ever dreamed of earning. Three months later, at the Beaux Arts Ball, she makes a hit as the Queen of Sheba and creates a sensation when she sings "The Ethiopian Love Song." Count Ferdinand de Raalbonne, a French nobleman succumbs to her charms and agrees to pay for her instruction at the studio of Prof. Waldemar Komffort, a great master of the voice. Both the count and the professor make a strong bid for her hand, and she is at her wits' end as to a course to pursue when Margot introduces her to Wendell Dalton, tall, handsome, cultured, distinguished pianist and composer of "The Ethiopian Love Song" at a party given largely for that purpose. Verna admires this brilliant black man more than anyone she has ever met, but is surprised that he does not fall for her beauty as have all other men. He takes her to dinner and shows her Harlem, which she has not seen before, but makes no proposals to her. She is puzzled. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER NINE Verna sighed with relief when her lessons at Professor Komfort's studio were completed. It was not that she did not like the atmosphere there. On the contrary, the contacts she had made with some of the leading people in the musical world were, she felt sure, quite valuable and would stand her in good stead when she started on her career in earnest. It was because of the attentions of the professor himself that she was glad to get away from the place. And even before she finished her last two weeks she had to go out to dinner with the funny little old fellow twice at the International Restaurant. Now that she was free of that burden and had received a certificate showing that she had been under the instruction of the learned master, she breathed more easily and was jubilant. The only cloud on the horizon of her happiness now was the Count Ferdinand de Raalbonne. His attentions were persistent and hardly a day passed that he did not send her flowers and call her on the telephone. She always got rid of him as quickly and as politely as one can get rid of one's benefactor. Wendell Dalton, a Mystery In the meantime she had been out in the company of Wendell Dalton on several occasions and he was to her as much of a mystery as ever. She just couldn't understand the man. He took her motoring, took her to visit many of his Negro friends in their palatial apartments on "Sugar Hill" or in the Dunbar Apartments, took her to luncheon and dinner at the first class eating places of Harlem, took her to Small's, the Nest, and a dozen of the smaller places, but he never seemed to notice her beauty and never made a single proposal of any sort. She was beginning to look upon him with the eye of suspicion, and yet he was one of the most manly men she had ever met or heard of. She had just come back from luncheon with Count de Raalbonne at a cute Italian restaurant in the village one day, when the telephone rang. It was Wendell on the wire. "I'm coming down after you," he said in his quiet, forceful way. "You know what you promised about practicing for that recital? Well, I think we'd better be starting. What do you say?" Verna was thrilled. She was thrilled at the prospect of rehearsals for her recital; thrilled that the great Wende! Dalton was to be her accompanist; thrilled that the two would be alone in the privacy of his studio hour after hour, day after day. She smiled couquettishly to herself. Would --- he fall as the others had? she asked herself. Aloud she told him: "I'll be all ready when you get down here, Mr. Dalton." How strange it seemed to call him Mr. Dalton when she was aching in every nerve to call him Wendell, softly and soothingly! An hour and a half later, the long, blue roadster swept up Edgecombe Avenue and stopped in front of a ritzy apartment house on what is known in Harlem as "Sugar Hill." The uniformed footman rushed to help her from the car. She surveyed the place with respect and admiration. He must have money to live in a place like this, she mused to herself. Her surprise was increased, however, when they stepped off the automatic elevator on the sixth floor and entered his palatial four-room apartment with its modernistic furniture, brilliant hangings and golden baby grand piano. The latter, he informed her, had been a present from Lady Mondcrieff, a very handsome British widow at whose country place he had once spent a week-end or two while in England. Verna thought with a smile of the home of the Richlands in Norrisburg, where she had worked as maid only a little over a year and a half before. She had at that time never thought that Negroes anywhere owned things so beautiful, and yet here was a home that far surpassed anything the Richlands had ever dreamed of having. Wendell helped her off with her wraps, brought a cooling drink and apologised for the fact that his butler was off for the afternoon. Butler! Verna echoed to herself. She had not dreamed that Wendell Dalton was so successful. She suddenly had a new respect for this tall, black man that had triumphed over insuperable obstacles and risen to the heights in his profession. "Now, Miss Nash," he began, seating himself at the piano and beginning to sort over a neat pile of music, "there are several pieces here that I think are well adapted for you. Suppose we run over them, see what you like and what is appropriate, make a selection and pretty soon I think we can be getting down to work. I'm sure you'll find a whole lot of things here to your liking." Then he began playing over several pieces while Verna tried out her voice on them. Six o'clock came before either of them noticed it. Verna looked at the clock and started to rise to go. "Please permit me to play host, ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—August 9, 1930 Verna Awed Wendell, Unlike the Others, Seems Uninterested A man and a woman sit at a table, sharing a drink. The man is wearing a suit and tie, while the woman is dressed in a long dress. They are seated in a chair with a high back, and the table is covered with a cloth. The background is a blurred interior with a window and a plant. "Why don't you ask me if I'm married," she queried innocently. Miss Nash," he said gallantly. "I couldn't think of having you leave hungry after all of the excellent work we've been able to get through this afternoon." "But I don't wish to impose on you, Mr. Dalton," she said, almost coldly; because, frankly, Verna was just a bit disappointed. Other men had spoiled her for a man like Dalton. Where they had fallen head over heels in love with her at first sight, he, after knowing her for over a month, had not given her the slightest indication that he was at all moved by her beauty and charm. For all one afternoon they had sat side by side on the piano bench and he had never so much as placed a hand on hers. "You're not imposing on me, Miss Nash," he insisted, "it is a great pleasure to be in your company and to have you here. You probably notice that I like your company," he added with a sophisticated smile. Verna Meets Her Match The man was positively maddening. Here she was, in spite of herself, falling head over heels in love for the first time in her life, and he was treating her as if she was just another woman. Wasn't he human? Was he perfectly blind to her charms? For the first time since the day when she had discovered her beauty in the cracked looking glass picked up on a trash heap, she decided to consciously make an effort to win a man. Gone was all thoughts of ambition, of conquering, of attaining success on her own initiative. For the first time in her life she was a primitive woman stalking her prey, intent on getting her man. Of course Wendell Dalton was oblivious to all of these thoughts racing around in the pretty head of Verna Nash. Or if he was able to read her mind he showed no indication of it. The butler prepared a very nice collation and they dined while the radio played gay music from one of the big hotels. All during the meal she caught herself time and again almost staring at him, watching the graceful way he used his hands, the firm set of his chin, the cultured tone of his voice. Finally, when they had finished their dessert, she de- 3 cided to ask him the question that had been uppermost in her mind ever since the first evening she had met him at Margot Yancey's party. "Are you married, Mr. Dalton?" She asked it timidly, half regretful of her weakness. "Of course, you would ask me that," he remarked, with a smile. "Oh, I didn't mean anything," she hastily replied, confused. "Of course you did," he contradicted. "You meant to find out. All women want to know whether a man is married or not. It is only natural. Well, to satisfy your curiosity: I'm not." "Why don't you ask me whether I'm married?" she queried, innocently. "What difference does it make?" he countered. "You are beautiful girl and you're charming company. What more could a man ask? What difference does it make whether you are married or not? You are my guest; we are having a very nice evening together and evidently find each other quite congenial company.

Section feature provided for your entertainment. Look forward each week to "Baffling Murders." THE COLLINS MURDER CASE By BROWNING STREAT Hubert Holcomb, former crack member of the Chicago Police Department, has greatly impressed Ralph Miles and myself with his vivid yarns anent his experiences with the more crafty type of criminals. Indeed, it is for this reason that our vacations at the Virginia resort, Eagle Rest, where we three men met and formed this "crime analyst trio." will probably live long in our memories. The Carlisle, the Mitchell, and the Slimmons murder cases—we had them all; and now, on this fourth night, Holcomb began to unravel the Collins murder case, the first part of which, for your information, follows: During a severe rainstorm over the Lae' Michigan region, a night watchman in one of the warehouses along Chicago's water front, hears shooting on one of the ships anchored out in the water and telephones headquarters. Detectives Wade and Holcomb are detailed to investigate and subsequently reach the ship, which turns out to be the palatial yacht Bettie B, owned by Harvey Collins, well-known banker and curio collector. Ricks, the captain, receives them aboard and hastily conducts them to his employer's stateroom. Mr. Collins is stretched out on the bed with a dagger in his heart—dead. The Captain App "But Miss Smithson," he gasped, The Captain Appears Nervous A "But Miss Smithson," he gasped, "surely you don't think I did this." CHAPTER TWO Captain Ricks's plump, dark face had suddenly gone pale. His beady black eyes had met the impudent ones of the woman with a bulging, startled glare. Now, with the detective moving nearer, he fairly trembled. "But, Miss Smithson!" he gasped; "surely you don't think I did !" "That's not the question, Ricks," she replied calmly. Only if you're going to give information, I think you ought to give it completely." And with that she turned and walked out of the room. The captain whirled around and faced the officers. "I swear t'God, men!" he cried, "I didn't kill Collins!" "Who said you did?" Holcomb murmured tersely. "No one. Now, please calm yourself, Ricks. From cabin boy up, I want every man and woman board in Mr. Collins's office inside of twenty minutes. Until then, please excuse yourself." Ricks turned and stumbled out of the room. The detectives began an investigation, Wade passing through the bath toward the office beyond, while Holcomb turned his attention to the corpse, his finely chiseled features reflecting every now and then, the slightest hint of reluctance. With two careful fingers, he rushed down and grasped the dagger, jerking the dripping blade out of the man's left breast. No manufacturer's mark there. He turned to the fist that clutched the end of the sheet, an began prying the stiff fingers apart. They gave, one by with the elasticity of heavy wire; and as the end of the sheet fell back to the inert body, Holcomb's eyes 4 BEGIN READING HERE: can be spent in following clever, well in plenty of suspense.

An enthusiastic curio collector. Mr. Collins had bought a crudely made crown, in Cape Town, Africa. Ricks advances the theory that it was stolen from one of the inland tribes, giving as his reason the fact that they had later discovered a poisoned dagger imbedded in the side of the wheel house. Ricks further stated that the dagger had been thrown overboard. Following another possible clue, Ricks mentions that Mr. Collins and Mr. Nelson, his lawyer, recently had engaged in a heated argument. Ricks is suddenly interrupted by the entrance into the room of a female member of the party, who admits that she has been eavesdropping and sarcastically suggests that Ricks tell the detectives about the time he came aboard drunk in Monrovia and was rudely disrespectful to his employer. She goes further. She insists that he tell them about the awful scene he made the day before when Mr. Collins informed him that his services would be needed no longer after they reached Chicago.

You ARE good for something. There is not the slightest question about this; and, just as this is true, it is also true that your handwriting—the little letters that you put to- youth, you must gether in forming words—in pen and ink or pencil—tell the story of just what you are good for. Your writing is different from that of all your friends. This is true because it is a picture of you, and the qualities that you have with which to make a success in life are different from the qualities that your friends have. I remember a long time ago when I was a small boy. a neighbor of ours said it was a fortunate thing that people did not all think alike, because if they did, they would have all fallen in love with his wife. I did not like that lady particularly and was very glad that we were not all alike. It is true, though, that your natural talents are different from those of your associates, and, unless you find the one thing for which you are best qualified, you are certain to go through the world dissatisfied and discontented. On the other hand, you are qualified naturally to do one thing and do it well, and your handwriting tells the story of what you can do. Here, for instance, is a specimen of writing which shows that there is literary talent in this man's nature. In fact, this is the handwriting of a very famous fiction writer—and his handwriting tells that he could not be anything else. Specimen No. 2 is the handwriting of another kind of nature, one that could not possibly write stories or tell them either, but there is just as much talent in the second specimen as there was in the first. It is simply a different kind of talent and you have a talent that is just as different from those of your friends as these two specimens are from one another. You may have a personal report made of your handwriting if you will write a page, using pen and ink. Sign your name, send letter to Dr. M. N. Bunker, in care of this newspaper, with a stamped and self-addressed envelope for reply. Be sure to enclose the stamped envelope, for letters without this will be discarded. HOW DO YOU HANDLE YOUR CLOCK? With proper care the life of the ordinary clock can be extended indefinitely. It is not generally realized that the position of the clock is an important consideration. If it stands on a mantlepiece, table of other base, care must be taken that the support be firm and free from vibration. In many modern city houses vibrations can be attributed to the passing of trains, by heavy traffic or by machinery in the basements of buildings. There is often a certain position on the walls which is especially subject to such vibrations. In selecting a position for a valuable clock, it will be well to consult one's jeweler to insure the best results. When a clock is set up it should be as free as possible from any disturbance. In the regular cleaning of the room, care should be taken not to disturb the clock by knocking it or jarring it in any way. A careless housemaid may move the clock, so that it will be thrown slightly out of balance, with unfortunate results to its time-keeping qualities. A clock should be wound slowly at regular interval. In inserting the key to wind it care should be taken not to jar the clock or move it however slightly from its accustomed position. It is a good plan to have all the clocks in one's home examined at regular intervals by a competent clock maker, who will clean them when necessary and anticipate a possible breakage. Most clock owners allow their timepieces to run along for years without the slightest attention, until they actually break down from wear and tear. With proper attention a good, modern clock should last for years, and become a valued and dependable heir-oon ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION-August 9,1930 If you think you are a member of the family merely because a young Babies will cry, often for no apparent reason.

BLACK AND W OINTMENT and SK BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENTand SKIN SOAP Hints to Breakfast Makers Hints to Breakfast Makers Almost any woman can vary the lunch or the dinner, but to many breakfast proves a stumbling block. Day after day, week after week and month after month there is the same old appetizer, the same old cereal, the same old ham and eggs and the same old toast and coffee. In another home different foods may be served—such as oranges on the half shell, bacon and eggs, griddle cakes, or salt mackerel—but even here there is a sameness to breakfast that is almost appalling. Get into the habit of varying the breakfast as you do the other meals. Change your cereals. Use berries or fruit upon them occasionally. Vary your meat dish—ham and eggs, bacon and eggs, a lamb chop, a bit of ham on a lettuce leaf, eggs without ham or bacon. Cut your toast differently—in small squares, large squares, in triangles, in oblongs—and serve it with butter, with jelly, wit preserves and with marmalade. As for the necessary breakfast orange, well, serve juice one morning oranges on the half shell the next, orange slices with grated cocoanut the third, oranges in segments the fourth, and a cold crisp fruit cup containing orange pulp and the tip and juice of two or three other fruits the fourth. There are many ways in which the breakfast may be varied if one will but search for them.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—August 9, 1930 Wendell Explains "Because," he explained, "human beings are not perfect; they have not, in the majority of cases, adjusted themselves to their environment. They are restless without knowing what they are seeking, Miss Nash." "Oh, let's cut out the formalities," she said boldly, toying with her spoon, "and stop calling me Miss Nash. Just call me Verna and I'll call you Wendell." Oh, how she had been wanting to call him Wendell. Nevertheless, she flushed slightly at her boldness. How handsome he looked sitting back in the dim light! "Just as you wish, Verna," he laughed. "I never make it a point to take: liberties with women, you know. Everybody does that, and the women have come to expect it. I try to be an exceptional individual. There is no distinction in being like everyone else and doing the same things everybody else does." "You're a queer fellow," she said, puzzled and slightly wrinkling her brow. "I cannot understand you at all." "That's because I am frank and natural," he replied, "whereas most people spend most of their time pretending they are something different from what they are." "If you're so frank," she asked, "why not tell me why you, a really big and successful young man, have not yet married?" "That's an easy one to answer: I just haven't found the young lady that fits my ideal of a wife. When I find her perhaps I shall get married, which probably means never." "So you don't think any woman is good enough for you, eh?" "Don't misunderstand me, Verna," he said soberly. "There are countless women good enough and too good for me. That is not the point at all. The point is, that when I marry, my wife must be a certain type of woman, and I maintain that that type is rare. Every woman I become intimate with has certain of those qualities that my ideal calls for but no one of them possesses all. When I meet a woman who has all of them, I'll marry her." "Suppose she refuses you?" Verna "Suppose she refuses you?" Verna teased. "What then?" "She won't refuse me," he snapped, sitting upright, his dark eyes flashing. "I usually get what I want in this world because I have the courage and strength to take it. When such a woman, my dream girl, comes along, I shall claim her if the whole world stands in my path to hinder me." Verna was thrilled by the intensity and passion of his tone. She had not believed him capable of such emotion. He had seemed so cold, so suave, so rigidly polite, so almost, unhuman that this exhibition came as a rather pleasant surprise. It thrilled her to know that at last she had penetrated his defenses. An Open Confession "How silly of me," he smiled, relaxing. "Sometimes I forget myself." "Oh, I think it's so fine that you should feel that way," she said, glowingly. "I think you are quite an admirable person, I really do." "Don't get enthusiastic about me," he warned. "I have my unfavorable sides, too, just like everybody else. I'm no saint, as you have probably surmised, nor need you think that I waste my life in the loneliness of this apartment without female company." "I don't see how you could," she remarked coquettishly, "as fine a fellow as you are." Baffling Murders By BROWNING STREAT Continued from Page Four Captain Ricks sat facing the great flat-topped desk, behind which sat Hubert Holcomb, toying reflectively with a piece of white cloth. And to his right young Collins and Attorney Nelson sat glaring at Loanda. Abruptly Holcomb began to talk. "Someone," he said calmly, "in this room killed Harvey Collins." One by one, passed them to later he was, with another, calmly of paper. Suddenly he to his company crossed swiftly snapped on a foot. Everyone si The lawyer sprang up to his feet, sputtering. "Why, that's as plain as day!" he spat into Holcomb's face. "Is there any other logical explanation for the presence on board of this hell-cat?" He pointed toward the cringing Loanda. "It is a discredit to your reputation to harp on something that is plainly obvious, sir." The room filled with droning murmurs. Young Collins sneered openly. Holcomb slowly began again. "Very well," he said "I can appreciate the fact that this is most unpleasant for some of you. I shall proceed to the solution. My first step will be to request each gentleman to hand Detective Wade his fountain pen." "Do you really think so?" he asked, leaning over until his face almost touched hers. "Yes," she breathed softly, her eyes blissfully half closed. "You're the finest man I've ever met." They looked at each other for a full minute, their eyes eloquent. Verna's heart stood still. She wondered what he would do now, when she had been so bold. What would he do? In answer, the doorbell rang. That broke the spell. And under her breath Verna cursed for the first time in her life. Right at a romantic climax and the doorbell had to ring. She smiled dryly to herself as Wendell rose and went to the door. Jack Sanders, one of Wendell's friends bounded in, dragging Theresa Hickson, a show girl, in with him. Verna's heart sank for she knew the evening was practically spoiled. "Say, Wen," shouted the young sheik, "let's go down to Small's tonight. They've got a swell revue there now and a blues singer that's just out of this world. Boy, I'm tellin' you, she won't quit." "Yes, Wen," added his escort, "let's make it a foursome. Just enough here to fill a table and polish off a quart before three G.M. Let's go, pretty papa." "Want to go, Verna?" asked Wendell, and she thought she detected a softness in his voice that she had never noted before. Could he actually be falling? "Sure, I'm game," she volunteered. "All right, then, people," cried Sanders, "let's be moochin'." They took a taxicab down to the cabaret and twenty minutes later were seated around a little table, sipping cocktails and watching twelve brownskin chorines go through the intricacies of off-beat dancing. Verna was eager for the show to go off and to dance again with Wendell Dalton. An Old Friend Suddenly on the far side of the room she spied a familiar face. Could it be he? She peered again through the haze of smoke while the dancing waiters, their trays aloft, stamped by grinning and keeping perfect time. Yes, it was Donald Baxter! Donald Baxter, and drunk! He was looking in their direction. He had recognized her. She sat almost frozen with fear. He lurched forward and wended his way through the forest of tables. There was no escape; she would have to see it through. The blood drained from her face. She glanced down to hide her confusion and fright. When she looked up he was standing leering over their table, laughing drunkenly to himself, swaying unsteadily from side to side. "Well, well, well!" he leered sardonically. "So I've caught the old coon at last! Smart kid, ain't you? Thought you could get away from old Don, didn't you. Hell of a way to treat a true frien' after takin' yuh outta th' sticks. He! He! He! Tried to get away from old Don." "Get away from here," shouted Wendell, jumping up, "before I kill you, you bum!"

A moment later he was, with first one pen, then another, calmly scribbling on a piece of paper. Suddenly he whispered something to his companion, after which Wade crossed swiftly to the lawyer and snapped on a pair of handcuffs. Everyone sitting jumped to his feet. Young Collins stood paralyzed. Lawyer Nelson bared his teeth and spat like a snake. "You fool!" he roared. "What does this mean?" "Allow me, Mr. Nelson," Holcomb drawled, "to refresh your memory. The same day the Bettie B left on her cruise you forged a note on Mr. Collins for ten thousand dollars. You probably intended to make it good if and when certain of your investments matured properly. Detective Wade found it among Mr. Collins's papers. Here it is. Here also is one of his own signatures. "The forgery is very good but, unfortunately for you, it is not perfect. I imagine that Mr. Collins was notified about this in New York a few days ago. That would account for the argument you had yesterday, during which he probably threatened to have you prosecuted. "You were scared. You subsequently remembered the incident of the poisoned dagger, as well as that affair concerning the stolen curio, and decided to make use of the circumstances. "You went to his stateroom and plunged a knife through his heart. Collins's grasp missed but dislodged your fountain pen. You then whisked it up and fled, leaving his stiffening fingers clutching the end of the sheet, taking the curio with you. You heaved it overboard! "Here is the end of that sheet, Nelson. It is stained—a vivid green stain—ink. Here is your pen. It writes a vivid green! "Have I done well, Nelson?" But he had collapsed on the floor.

It has been rumored of late that bicycling is to be advertised—in other words, that an attempt will be made to revive the sport that was so popular twenty or thirty years ago. But should we popularize bicycling today? Should we fill the highways an' byways with tiny bicycles when motored vehicles seem to be increasing almost overnight? If each man financially interested in advertising bicycles will guarantee to allow his own son to bicycle along our highways for two or three hours each day while the advertising goes on, we might be more inclined to admit that the bicycle is for today rather than for yesterday.

Although of good family, he enjoyed hanging around the slums and observing what went on. At the corner of Northampton and Washington streets he waited idly one evening for something to turn up. He glanced at his Waitham—ten o'clock. He yawned. Perhaps it was the boredom of Boston, that made him yawn; perhaps because he was out late the night before. Nevertheless, he yawned lazily and stretched his long, muscular arms. Someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned half around. The stranger a short, dark, brown, rat-faced man, smiled and inquired: "Say, you got the habit, ain't you, friend?" "What habit?" "Aw, don't try to play so dumb, you know!" The stranger laid a hand on Bill's arm. "You know because you gave me the signal!" "I gave you the signal?" "Yes, you gaped three times and stretched your arms—that means the habit!" Battle decided to play wise. He confessed falsely: "Sure, partner, I've got the habit!" The little man became confidential. His grip tightened on Bill's arm. "All right, then! Wait here a minute and I'll get you fixed up!" He was gone in a flash and disappeared around the corner. Bill stood mystified. He lit a cigarette and wondered what was coming next. Thoughts fairly flew through his mind. He was roused from his ruminations by a young colored boy of perhaps twelve years of age. "Mister, you the man with the habit?" "I can't tell you, mister, it ain't far, though." They started off together. Battle tried to engage the lad in conversation; all he could get were short, pup-like "yeps" and "nopes." They walked about three blocks and turned into a dimly lighted, side street. Soon the urchin announced: A MYSTERIOUS HOUSE "Here's the house: come in." They halted in the vestibule of a big, three-story house. The boy rang the bell. A voice called through the speaking-tube. "Who is it?" "It's me, momma, and a man who does cleaning." "All right, come up." As Bill stumbled up the stairs he tried to explain that he didn't do any cleaning. The kid said, "Hush," almost angrily. Little did Battle know that these were the passwords. The kid disappeared. Bill was now in a handsomely furnished living room. Soft lights and velour cushioned, overstuffed furniture added to its attractiveness. On a settee in one corner a feminine figure lay—evidently a young woman: surely not an old one. She was probably asleep. Bill thought. She was covered with a blanket. The blanket outlined the contour of her body as if it had been draped. and fall of her body as she breath Her legs were uncovered up to her knees. The boy's mother, a big, bloated, brown skin woman of the sings-blues-for-the-records type, entered the room. She scrutinized Bill carefully and suspiciously. She seemed to be somewhat doubtful. Her roving, black eyes noted every detail about him. His clear, olive complexion, his perfect composure and polite manner caused her to be uncertain of him: he wasn't the usual type that came to her house. The woman was all business. She snapped at him. "What will you have . . . a sniff or a lab?" He instantly realized that he was in a done joint and that extreme diplomacy was required. "I'll take a sniff!" She reached somewhere beneath her apron and produced a small folded paper which locked exactly like the white half of a Seidlitz powder. I 93032 He yawned. "What habit?" "Sure, kid!" "Follow me then." "Here it is. . . . You owe me two dollars." He dug up two one-dollar bills and handed them to her. He was about to place the happy-dust in his pocket. The woman shoved him quickly. He felt himself going back—back against the wall. He stepped forward to gaze into the mouth of a small Colt automatic and into the igress-like face of the woman. Her eyes blazed fire. She covered him steadily. "But, lady, I don't feel like a sniff just now. I, er-r, I wanted to have some to take later." "Nobody takes any dope outta this house. . . . I didn't think you were on the level, anyway!" "The doctor un "The doctor urged me to do it." "But, lady!" "But hell. . . . You're just a damned stool pigeon trying to get the lowdown on me so you can tell the cops. I ought to blow your brains out." She threatened him menacingly. A voice called from the settee. "Sally . . . Sally . . . Don't shoot him? He's all right!" "How in the devil-do you know?" "I know him, Sally . . . really I do. I met him a few days ago and he's O.K. Honest to God, he is!" The woman lowered her pistol. The girl arose and came over to where Bill stood—she winked to him as she did so. "I know you, don't I?" "Well, Myrna, if you do know this fool you'd better tell him something to keep him from getting bumped cff." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—August 9, 1930 "I'll look out for him, Sally." Sally left the room. HYPNOTIC EYES She gazed hypnotically into his eyes. He looked down into her eyes; he was powerless to look anywhere else. Her eyes were ig and brown; the pupils were unusually wide. She tilted her copper-brown face. "So you are Myrna," he ventured. "Yes." "Well, Myrna, I thank you for getting me out of a lot of trouble . . . but you don't know me. do you?" "No, but Sally is just crazy enough to shoot you and I couldn't stand to see you hurt!" "Why?"

She spoke again, "Come up to my apartment if you don't mind. I live here." Bill, ready for anything, assented. Myrna Mason led Bill upstairs to a narrow, carpetless room on the third floor back. They entered, and she turned the key in the lock. The white, iron bed and a few other cheap pieces of furniture suggested a nun's cloister, or a cell of someone doing penance rather than the room of a modern girl. Battle felt sorry for her already. "This," she announced, "is my place... but I have been used to better. Have a seat." Bill sat on a chair beside the bed; Myrna sat on the bed. Her hands folded and unfolded nervously. "Why do you think I had you come up here?" she asked. "I don't know." I don't know. A Short Story Depicting the Underworld Life t—A Story Revea "I want to talk . . . that's all.

She went on: "After this I took to using morphine while working in the hospital. . . See!" She pulled her dress up slightly.

Excuse me a minute.” She arose, procured a teaspoon, a match and some white crystalline powder from off her dresser. “What are you going to do?” Bill thundered. "Just fix up a little dose for the needle. I need it! I must have it!" Bill caught her arm. They wrestled. She struggled with him violently. He was too strong for her. The things dropped to the floor. "Stop, you mustn't!" "Why?" She seemed dazed: "Because I don't want you to!" "You don't want me to . . . ha, ha, how funny! And why?" "Because I already think too much of you to allow you to keep on this way. Because you have suken pretty low, as you think, you shouldn't feel that you have to go still lower!" "And you really care?" "Yes, I do. Don't you believe it?" "I certainly do. For your sake I am going to try and lay off this stuff even if I go crazy trying to do without it. I didn't think there was a decent man in the world. But I can see that you're not like the rest." A LOUD KNOCK Someone banged heavily on the door. A man's gruff voice growled outside. "Open up here, and let me in!" "Open up here, and let me in!" "Who's that?" Bill whispered to her. The knocking continued. "It's Jeff. He lives here on this floor. He's drunk all the time and he's always annoying me. These people are trying to make me give in to him. He'll cause trouble for you!" "I'm not afraid or him!" "I know. Quick! Get under the bed. I'll take care of him!" Myrna went to the door and opened it. Jeff staggered in and attempted to grab her. She sidestepped him quickly. His breath was foul with cheap liquor. "Little dickty girl, eh! I thought you had company. Been here three days and still think you're too good for me. But you ain't gonna stall me off no longer. . . " He advanced on her insteadly. Bill, beneath the bed, could hardly hold himself in check. The drunken man's speech reassured him that the girl was not a prostitute. Bill felt that he could see her insulted no longer. Myrna pushed forward. She tried to force Jeff back through the door. She said nothing. "Yes, trying to play so virtuous, . . . Dammit! You won't be after tonight." He grabbed her; his feet came close to the bed. Battle's arms shot out. His hands clutched Jeff's ankles and rulled. The man came down in a lumbering heap.
