P. $27.00 in memberships as an expression of their interest in the work the N. A. A. C. P. is doing. These memberships were gained through the activity of Mr. H. J.

HARTFORD BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. FIGHTS RETURNS OF WILLIAMS TO ALABAM New York, August 29.— Governor John H. Trumbull of Connecticut has held in abeyance the return of Johnny Williams, charged with the murder of a white girl in 1928 at Abbeville, Alabama when it was disclosed at a hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on August 12th that Williams had not yet been indicted by a gdand jury and on the ground that the charges were not properly attached to the warrant. The fight to prevent return of Williams to Alabama where it is feared the charges were not settled, felt certain, he cannot possibly receive an impartial trial has been led by the Hartford branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Attorneys Benedict M. Holden and Howard P. Ddew were retained in Williams' behalf Attorney Holden expressed a willingness to sign an agreement to hold Williams in the Hartford county jail under bond of $10,000 pending fudder developments in the matter of rendition proceedings The case of Williams has aroused intense interest in Hartford. The Govednor's office was crowded during the hearing, most of the spectators being colored persons interested in the case. Hot On The Trail Of Hoosier Mobbists N. A. A. C. P.

P., reports a flood editorial comment and articles on the lynching, and the conduct of the sheriff and the prosecutor both, in Mr. Bailey opinion, have had a wholesome effect on local public opinion. Reports just received from Marion indicate that the situation is still quite tense at Marion. We are informed that many of the lynchers are very apprehensive and that it would take only a small amount of grilling to make them confess. Feeling among both white and colored citizens of repute of Marion is still one of great doubt as to whether anything will be done by the local authorities and the conviction is even more strongly expressed that real results will come only through your office." FENNESSEE GOVERNOR REFUS ES EXTRADITION OF TOWNSEND Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 11.—(P) The Associated Negro Press.)—Governor Horton refused to grant the extradition of Dr. A. M. Townsend, Sr., and his son, Dr. M. Townsend, Jr., at the hearing held here Thursday afternoon. Dr. Townsend and his son were indicted in the State of Indiana on charges of conspiracy to commit a felony, to wit murder and murder by agent, in connection with the murder of E. D. Pieson, auditor for the Nawhich Dr. Townsend, Jr., is secretary, national Baptist Publishing Board, of on April 16. Extradition papers were ent to Governor Horton, but due to the fact that the governor was at that time busily engaged in his campaign for the democratic nomination or-election as governor of the state, he postponed the hearing until he had completed his campaign activities. Thursday found a brilliant array of legal talent assembled representing both sides. After hearing the testimony of both sides, Governor Horton refused to grant the extradition of the Townsend, due to the fact that it had not been proved that either was in the state of Alabama at the time the murder was committed. Friends of Dr. Townsend, many of whom predicted that he would not be extradited, were profuse in their congratulations and reaffirmed their belief of his innocence of any connection whatever with the murder of the auditor, whom Dr. Townsend, in a statement sent to the recent jubilee session of the National Baptist Convention, held in Chicago, declared he differed only as to methods. The failure to extradite Dr. Townsend will perhaps have an important bearing on the trial of George Wasaington, alleged Indianapolis gunman charged with committing the murder and Dr. B. F. J. Westbrook who is under indictment on a charge of conspiracy to commit a felony to wit murder. Washington is in jail at Scottsboro, Indiana, awaiting trial and Dr. Westbrook, prominent Indianapolis minister, is out under bond Vicksburg, Miss., Sept. 12.—(Bv The Associated News, Sept. 12.) RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1930 Would Bar Colored Bathers From Nation's Playground Nom York, Sept. 5—An investigation of the attempted segregation of Negroes from bathing beaches in front of hotels at Alantic City, N. J. undertaken by Walter White, Acting Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, discloses that the attempted segregation has no justification in law insmuch at the beach belongs to all people. Returned to New York from his visit to Atlantic City, Mr. White made the following statement: "There have been no proper bathing accommodations for colored people in Atlantic City since the closing of Wall's bathhouse. Although by the terms of the city charter, the beach front belongs to all the people and may be used by them, some of the hotels have employed special colored police to direct colored people away from the beach in front of the hotels, to a less desirable part where there is no shade under the boardwalk and where such shade can be had only by renting beach umbrellas. "The special police, uniformed and paid by the hotels, had no privacy and people from any part of the beach, but many colored people who did not know their rights moved away when these police requested them. Some of the colored policemen declined to do this work of secreration. "Unfortunately many colored people in Atlantic City hold political positions or are in some way employed by the hotels or through the political powers that be, and therefore have failed to raise their voices in protest. But the mass of colored people in Atlantic City resent this silence on the part of colored leaders and still more resent the illegal attempt to deprive them of their bathing privileges. Mr. White while in Atlantic City spoke with Congressman Isaac Bachrach, brother to Mayor Harry Bachrach who admitted endorsing these segregation program, and the Congressman denied having received the Wetlands against it. Thereupon Mr. White pointed out that numbers of colored people had been molested by the special police and that fear of losing jobs was keeping some colored citizens silent. Congressman Bachrach expressed resentment that "out siders' should meddle in the segregation issue. At a recent "harmony dinner," held in the colored section of Atlantic City, Mr. White reports, State Senator Emerson Richards said plainly that it was absurd to try to exclude colored people from the Atlantic City beaches, that the "harmony dinner" should have been held among the local white citizens, and that white people were not forsaking Atlantic City for Canadian reservation, reported, because of colored bathers, but in order to get liquor. At this dinner Mayor Mayor assumed responsibility for endorsing the segregation efforts, Mr. White reports. White said in conclusion: "The legal right in the situation is clear. It is entirely with the colored bathers. All colored visitors to Atlantic City should know and act upon this information." traordinary cunning saved the life of James Donald here Monday when he was ambushed by a squad of officers who were seeking him for shooting Assistant Game Warden Jeff Stanford, white, in the legs with bird shot. The game warden had encountered Donald hunting and commanded him o halt in the woods. Instead of throwing up his hands, Donald took a shot at the officer, stinging his legs with the shot. The officer limped to his car and returned to the city for help. With several other officers he sought out Donald and met him again near Mint Springs Bayou. Donald was in his automobile when he became aware that the posse of cops was closing in on him. But he determined to fight it out and emptied a pistol at them, hitting no one. When the policemen became aware that Donald was out of ammunition, they closed in on him, firing a fusilade of shots. Donald slumped over the wheel. The officers rushed the car andgra bbed him, expecting to find a badly wounded man. Instead, Donald had pretended to be shot to keep them from shooting at him further and had therab. is life Nation's Metropolis Extends A Rousing Welcome To Nat'l Church Body New York, Sept. 10.

With bowed heads and moist eyes, men and women stood while blessings were invoked upon these departed ones in fervent prayers. A long list of men of other years was presented: notable among them the late E. K. Love from Savannah, Ga. George, W. Lee of Wington, D. C., the late John Luther of Richmond, Va., the late Wm. I. Simmons from Nashville, Ky. the late R. H. Boyd formerly of Texas, but the pioneer builder and constructive genius of Nashville, Tennessee, the late naw P. Jones of Mississippi, and John Edmund Wood of Kentucky, who fell practically in harness, were just a few of the hundreds who played their part on the stage and passed on, leaving those who are assembled here to review their work, present the progress made and lay plans for future activity. After the morning recess the Women's Auxiliary opened their session at the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, No. 58 W. 135th Street near Lenox Avenue. Regular devotions characterized their opening period. New York gave her welcome tonight when city, state denomination, professional business ad representatives from other religious bodies gave words of welcome. Dr. E. D.

It was the best it has been our pleasure to listen to in the history of the organization. Other numbers on the program were well rendered. Tuesday morning the gavel was sounded, convention called to order and all the Grand Lodge officers responded to the roll call, except Rev Mansfield, Washington, Grand Worthy Prelate, who had answered the roll call above. Rev R. L. Harrison, of Gordonsville, Va., was appointed to act as Grand Worthy Prelate. After the regular routine of business, at 1:30 P. M., the Bible Circle exercises, under the direction of Matrons Mattie Ellis and Mary Lipsombe, of Louisa, Va., were held. The songs and recitations by the little ones were enjoyed by all.

THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE MOB MEMBERS FACING FEDERAL COURT TRIAL Chickasha.—(CNE) — Eighteen of the 22 white defendants charged with conspiracy to destroy government property as the outgrowth of rioting, in which Henry Argo, Negro, was fatally wounded last May, were bound over yesterday for trial in federal court. The charges arose from the burning of an army truck used by national guardmen in an attempt to disperse a mob around the Grady County jail here, which was bent on lynching the prisoner. Among those held for trial was G. W. Skinner, husband of the woman Argo was accused of attacking. Skinner stabbed Argo as he lay dying from a wound inflicted by a bullet fired by one of the mob as the rioters struggled to take the prisoner from his cell placing the entire burden of the crisis on the ehe workers through wage cuts, layoffs, part time work, and speed-up. Many mass meetings have been held for these candidates and hun dreds of workers have turned out and have heartily endorsed the plat $2.00 PER YEAR, FIVE CENTS PER COPY. Darien, Ga., Sept. 8—George Grant, Negro, was lynched by a mob of approximately 200 men today after being taken from the jail. According to reputs Grant was one of a trio of men accused of firing upon and fatally wounding a police officer and injuring three others. The cause of the trouble is undetermined but it is believed that an argument started between a bank wachman, R. J. Anderson, and two coolored men who were loitering around in the vicinity of the bank. A fulsiga of shots ensued and the officer was wounded and the colored men escaped. A searching party was formed at once and followed the men into the swamps. Upon closing in upon the hidden men they opened fire, and Robert Freeman, Police Chief, fell dead. J. W. Fisher, citizen and J. H. Collins a deputy office were wounded in the exchange of shots with the Negroes. The National Guardsmen, A Sheriff's Posse, and a mob of several hundred, began a round up of the hidden men in the swamps. The National Guardsmen succeeded in capturing Grant who it was claimed ws the one who wounded Watchman Anderson. They turned him over to local authorities and he was immediately palced in a cell. Before the guardsmen left the jail, a mob entered and in the presenc of the National Guard, the sheriff and deputy officers, Grant was taken and lynched. Three others are held in jail at Savannah, and re believed to be implicated in the shooting. The blood-hounds which are being used by the authorities and the mob are searching the swamps in an effort to find another member of the party who it is believed was a party to the shooting. After the lynching, the National Guardsmen left Dareen in the custody of local authorities, it having been under military rule until Grant was captured and lynched. Aside from the inadmission of the whites over their casualties, and the shame, disgrace and loss to the colored citizens of the village, everything seemed to be somewhat quiet and no further disturbance appeared in view. National Ideal Benefit Society At Phila., Pa. The Eighteenth Annual Session of the Supreme Lodge National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., was held at Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church September 2, 3, and 4, 1930. The Annual Report of the Supreme Master, A. W. Holmes, of Richmond, Va., its founder, showed the organization to be in good financial condition, with an increase in membership of more than two thousand, and over six thousand ($6,000) dollars added to the treasury, with no indebtedness, notwithstanding a national business depression. Nearly three hundred officers and delegates were in attendance. They were welcomed to the city by the mayor's secretary on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday afternoon, aboard the city Yacht, "John Wanamaker," were taken for a cruise on the Deleware River.

A. A. C. P., President Hoover denounced lynching. He said that "Every citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democracy." In contrast to Mr. Hoover's views is the apparent justification of lynching by Mr. Arthur Brishane, highest paid newspaper man in America. In his column TODAY, which is said to be read by 20,000,000 daily, he said committing a North Carolina lynching "Men in the north will pass judgment on that incident promptly. Some might modify the judgment if they happen to be fathers of girls, five or seven years old, similarly tree ted." While Mr. Brisbane mutters the sickly viem of the blindly prejudiced editor who is willing to follow Coley" Blease and scrap the constitution, it is refreshing to note that the President is willing to serve notice on the local officials and barbarians who compose mobs that he is opposed to the nefarious acts; it is for the president to take some active step to HALT lynching. It has disgraced us long enough in the eyes of the world. To talk about it and dey it is not enough; the president should urge congress to show Mr. Brisbane and his ilk that men and women who love and respect the honor and integrity of our country and who uphold its laws are willing to let the order pass, properly determining the guilt or innocence of a prisoner, and woe be unto the officials who allow anything else to happen in their district. This country needs the Anti-Lynch Bill. OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT Published in Scripps-Howard Newspapers throughout the Country. President Hoover's statement denouncing the lynching evil is encouraging. If federal officials will throw their moral strength and prestige into the fight, public revulsion in the end will force the stern measures necessary to cope with this savagery, and the subject is so revolting, none of us likes to write or talk or hear much about it. But it has grown so bad that continued silence is cowardice, and further evasion is treason, with in eight months this year the number has mounted to fifteen, compared with twelve during the whole of 1929. Indiana and Northern states add their toll to that of the South. It is no longer a sectional scourge; it is national. We may be thankful at least that the wave of lynchings has so barred officials to the need of action, witness the unequivocal and courageous pledges of seven Southern Governors last month. Now the President speaks. In his secretary's letter to the National Association of Colored People, he said: "Every decent citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democracy." It is to be hoped that the President sent a copy of that letter to the Hoover Law Enforcement Commission, which is so fond of emphasizing that its work reaches beyond prohibition to all law enforcement.

Remember that there are two sides to every question, and you have only heard one side when your child tells all about it. Let us hope for a great session this year and then let us help to make it so by co-operation. Among the arguments given in favor of birth control may be found the following: 1. It limits the number of children to the fewer children born, the higher training that can be given. 2. Too frequent child-bearing wears too much on the physical strength of the mother. 4. Too large a family tends to overpopulate the earth and invites disease and starvation. 5. The smaller number the finer the stock. 6. Too many children in poor families create delinquency and thus put an undesirable and unnecessary burden on society. 7. That no man has a right to bring into the world more children than he can support. ANSWER TO THE ABOVE. 1. Instead of limiting children by artificial means to the income of the father, it is better and right to see that a better distribution of wealth and a fair scale of wage is maintained. The rich must not overwork and under pay the poor man, and then command him not to reproduce lest his children starve. 2. Fewness of children in the family is no guarantee to high training, for a family may limit its offspring to two and both may be fools or to one, and that may be a fool.

From The Norfolk Journal And Guide, August 30, 1930 Announcement from the War Department brings news that Camp Douglas, an outpost in the desert waste lands of Arizona, is to be abandoned and steered for U. S. Army troops that announcement brings mingled feelings of joy and admiration-joy because that particular forsaken outpost was occupied by Negro soldiers and admiration because is another triumph in the long line of civil and political victories scored by the vigilant, militant National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Colored troops have received far from their just share of desserts from the military branch of Uncle Sam's household. And Camp Douglas has been described as such an ungodly place, desolate, barren, and miles from any evidences of this glorious civilization of ours. While the colored soldiers were required to remain there for long periods, the white of officers were frequently changed to spare them the awful agony of mental and social starvation. Yet in war time, flags are waved, "Racy" and "Liberty" abounded from housets, and in a fervor all the communications of peace time are for gotten. William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in several communications to the War Department deploring the conditions of the Arizona post, turned the light of publicity on another of Uncle Sam's intolerable policies. Almost shame-faced, the Department issued a statement to the effect that it had decided to abandon Camp Douglas. Well done. N. A. A. C. P., Well done.

If too frequent child-bearing wears on the health of the mother, let the father and mother refrain from too frequent sexual intercourse. This is possible, this is right, tho it may not be easy. Birth control in this case will not be necessary. 4. To say that the earth will become overpopulated is simply begging the question. Malthus thought this a long time ago, but he miscalculated. Who can tell what disasters may thin out the ranks of mankind? Consider the present situation in Santo Domingo, where hundreds have been swept into eternity by what is called in law an "act of God." The God who made the world knows its capacity. He gives life, He takes it. If one man monopolizes the food stuff, the rest of the world should break this monopoly and not resort to birth control. 5. To suppose that the stock will be fine because the number of children is few but a supposition. Suppose five children are destined to be born in a family. Suppose that two of these are to be exceptionally great and three just average or below average. The only way to be sure of the exceptionally bright is to let all five be born, for in the effort at birth control the bright ones may be stifled. Suppose the mothers of George and Booker Washington, Dunbar and Douglas, Lincoln Dubois had decided to practice birth control and prevent the conception and birth of these great men? 6. Large families need not necessarily increase delinquency if a better economic situation is inaugurated and special government appropriations could be made for those whose families are large. In a time of war such families would be a great asset in the defense of the country. 7. After all is said, if a man must not bring into the world more children than he can support, let him regulate the frequency of sexual intercourse and not resort to birth control. SOME FURTHER REASONS AGAINST BIRTH CONTROL. 1. It blunts the moral sensitiveness of those who engage in it. 2. It invites illicit sexual intercourse between men and women Durant Drake holds that fear of impregnation is the greatest force which keeps women chaste. If it could be assured that no disgrace would follow sexual intercourse, the barriers in many cases would be thrown down. Whether we agree with Drake in this or not, he cannot be lightly dismissed. He has a point. 3. Birth control makes man the judge and regulator of life, and not God. 4. Birth control argues that a man may enjoy the right of sexual intercourse in marriage, but he may dodge the natural responsibilities which this right entails. CAN CHRISTIANITY INDORSE BIRTH CONTROL? If Christianity is to follow its own book, the Bible, then it cannot indorse birth control. Those who would know what the Bible says on this matter may read Genesis 38:8-10. This is known as Onanism. Some ministers favor birth control. Dr. Fosdick is among this number. The Anglican Church, and a certain branch of the Episcopal Church, have recently indorsed birth control. (See Literary Digest of August 9th and September 6th, 1930.) The Catholic Church, on the other hand, stands out firmly against it. The Catholic Church in this respect is right. Many Protestants argue that birth control is here, the people are using it and we might as well scientifically inform every one about it, so that those who most need it can have it. We might as well argue that we have murder, bootlegging and theft with us, and we might as well sanction these, because we cannot stop them. Christianity's work is to hold up before men what they ought to do and not fix the standard to suit what they are doing. Where a situation occurs in which the birth of a child means the death of the mother, a special case is created. Such a case does not fall, properly speaking, within the sphere of birth control in the general sense. Many people practice things themselves which they do not wish Christianity and the Church to indorse. The Church respect rather than gain when she brings her standard down to the majority, simply because of the majority. BAR REUNION OF BLUE AND GRAY. Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 4.—(CNS.)

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 4. —(CNS) The 35th annual session of the National Medical Association was held here last week. Them ost important Its Aims and Aspirations. I take occasion this week to write upon the above subject for the simple reason that I feel that other paper, at times reads everyone who reads this or any things printed therein that to their minds are questionable, yet for some reason unknown to the writer fully 90 per cent of such statements or articles go unquestioned. Whether such things are allowed to go unquestioned by the masses because of a desire not to offend or whether it is a matter of downright laziness on the public's part is open to question. Whatever may be the cause of this apparent condition or mental attitude of the Negro in general and in Richmond Negroes in particular, this writer hopes with the aid of others here to be able to remove it. Be it therefore understood, that anything written in the columns of this paper under this writer's name is open to the criticism of anyone anywhere. We not only welcome criticism, we invite it. I take great pride in being connected in a small way with the RICHMOND PLANET, for I feel that there is a great future open to this paper, a field of service to the Negroes of the City, the State and the Nation. THE PLANET wants its readers to offer criticisms that they feel will be helpful in building up a better journal, wants them when they have constructive ideas to pass them on to the paper, if they feel that such ideas would prove beneficial to it. We want you to feel that this is your paper, and that it can be no more, nor less, than what you make it, we want you therefore to take an active interest in your paper, bring it up to the level of your own ideal of a newspaper, write to Mr. R. C. Mitchell, the editor, stating your views. He also wants your constructive criticism, as criticism is the "stuff" of which great men are made, and by and through which great men are made greater. These lines are inspired by an editorial in this paper under date of January 25, 1980, under the caption, "What Ails Richmond"? In this editorial Mr. Mitchell pointed out some of the outstanding faults in the mental attitude of the Negro citizenry here, the historic and underlying causes for same and in a few words painted a graphic word-picture of the lethargic and apathetic mental attitude of the Negroes of the city. He made an end to speaking through the columns with the following paragraphs: "In the mean time, the greatest need of the present is a loud-speaker to amplify the voices of our leaders. If the Populace could hear plainly the voice of our leadership, they could more readily respond. There is enough profundity of thought and calibre of ability in the leadership here to accomplish the task of placing Richmond in the forefront of colored communities in America, if we only had a journal of sufficient power to command and rally the folk in big majorities. Our ailment of non-co-operation is caused largely by the lack of a sufficient mouthpiece. The Planet is committed to the task of giving Richmond a loudspeaker to be used by any and all interests for the forward march that we believe to be ours for the future." So spoke the democratic editor of the Richmond Planet. He cannot realize his dream without your aid; help him, by doing so you help your self, your friends and millions of Negroes yet unborn. Talk Back to Me. happening at this meeting was the change in the method of electing the governing officers of the organization. By the new method each state will select a governor and these representatives will constitute a board of governors that will have control over the affairs of the organization and elect its officers. Atlanta, Georgia, was chosen as the meeting place for 1981, and Los Angeles, for 1982. The following are the officers for the coming year: Dr. Wm. H. Higgins, Providence, R.

Aside from a deep rooted streak of selfishness in the average individual, there are no greater handicaps to human progress than fear and ignorance Sociologists claim that by far the two greatest tasks of every true reformer, who in the past sought to improve the conditions of his time and advance the cause of social progress have been, first, to persuade society to accept new ideas that fundamentally affected queo and second, to convince society of he need of relinquishing those ideas when they no longer serve the needs of social progress. of these fearful, the creatures as they attain to stem the tide When the cry comes who ought to know is time for us to be Recently, Professor Hancock in an art peared in several Nations raised "a poise against Negro radicals gro press which he seizes. With the tie app of an angered "For the Negro to an As a minority in each new generation seek to influence the majority of their elites into adjusting their thoughts and actions in conformity with changed environments, always they encounter the danger of being wrong. They always hear the cautioning cry of custom "let well enough alone." The philosophy epitomized in the adage "It was good enough for our fathers, hence it should be good enough for us" has been a powerful deterrent force in the life of every generation. While the manifest hysteria of the economic, social, and political cowards of the past had a basis of usification in the fact that man then lacked a comprehensive understanding of the world over which he is said to have been given dominion, those who today look upon every advocate of social, economic, and political changes as a "dangerous radical" seeking only to attach the anchored ship of civilization can offer no such excuse. For, during the latter half of the Nineteenth century such men as Darwin, Spencer, Huxley, Marx a n d Engels—to name only a few—by their labor have added greatly to the world's storehouse of knowledge thereby opening to modern man many secrets about the universe which had long held in fear and trembling his forbears. By their contributions to scientific knowledge these men literally routed the hosts of superstition and fear and released the barricaded forces of progress. Consequently, when in this day and time man can boast of knowing much about his universe, about nature, and nature's forces it is most disquieting to the hear the pathetic wall CIARESCE DARROWS SEND CLIPPINGS RECOUNTING NEGRO MUSIC TRIUMP New York, Sept. 5.—Clippings forwarded by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Darrow from Chicago tell of the triumph of a chorus of 1,000 colored singers in the recent music festival hld before an audience of 150,000 people. In one of the clippings from the Chicago theater, James O'Connell Bennett reports that the "collembreth have stolen the cellulose and everybody is glad." He also singles out the Negro singers for their work in the large chorus, writing of them "The bulwark of this mass of vocalists was of course the 1,000 Negro singers. Nothing could go wrong with them so proficient, so powerful and $'s, coiffurid to buttress the situation." The singers loyally let them command the movement the intracies and the climaxes of the noblest hymn of adoration ever written. BOOKLOVERS CLUB SPONSORED BY PHILADELPEHN N. A. A. C. P. New York, Sept. 5—Formation of a booklovers club among the young colored people in Philadelphia, sponsored by the local N. A. A. C.

P. are already owns a number of museums which are members of the club, the authors represented including Cullen Connelly, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, W. E. B. Du Bois, and James Weldon Johnson. "RACES AND WORLD PEACE" BY PICKENS AND SELIGMANN IN GERMAN MAGAZINE New York, Sept. 5—The August 15 number of "Die Friedensfront." a German anti-militarist publication, just received here contains an article on "Races and World Peace" by William Pickens, H. H. H. H. Director of Publicity, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored A of these fearful, terror-striken creatures as they attempt in vain vain to stem the tide of progress. When the cry comes from a Negro who ought to know better then it is time for us to be concerned. Recently, Professor Gordon B. Hancock in an article which appeared in several Negro publications raised "a point of order" against Negro radicals and the Negro press which he says "heerize" them. With tie apparent simplification of an angered child he sobs "For the Negro to arraign himself against capitalism by which as least he gets a half-biscuit is a very dangerous course for an oppressed race." Stick to the bush that affords the寅says "he This writer is not a communist, but one does nothave e to be a Communist to recognize in Mr. Hancock's pother the voice of fear and the unmistakable evidence of his utter unfamiliarity with the economic and social forces now reshaping the world. His "stick to capitalism" clearly implies that he accepts capitalism as the final form of economic and social organization to be developed by the human race. This was exactly the point of view held by the slaveholders. In fact every ruling class and their intellectual lackeys throughout history have advanced the theory of divine origin and eternal life to usify the economic and social order which they dominated. But, admitting that capitalism is the "bush bearing the berries," and that under it the Negro gets a half a biscuit, to advise the Negro masses to stick to capitalism under such circumstances is tantamount to that in return for his labor power the Negro worker is entitled only to a half-biscuit. Fortunately for society many Negro workers and others feel that "a laborer is worthy of his hire" and in every land the workers are seeking to transform this biblical truism into a living reality. The radicals against whom Professor Hancock raves are the salt of the earth. Negro economic radicals especially offer to the tormented millions of their kinsmen the only hope for relief from an existence based upon "half-a-biscuit." A LYNCHING AVERTED ATLANTA CONSTITUTION The mayor, minister and leading men of Bainbridge who persuaded an angry mob bent on lynching a Negro to disperse and "let the law take its course" deserve the fullest praise and thanks of the state. The reported offense of the drunken Negro, "uttering insulting remarks to two white women, "was agravoting, but furnished no pretext for a mob to usurp the place of the courts and violently execute the culprit. The Negro was already in the hands of the law and securely in jail. There is no justification for lynch law until organized law has been destroyed, its forces disarmed, and the processes of anarchy and sagery only remain for the use of the people. That condition does not exist in Georgia and to have allowed a drivelling drink-demented Negro to be lynched for a possibly unconscious impudence would have been an enormously greater crime than that avenged in hate and fury. By the prompt and conservative action of the good men of Bainbridge that crime was prevented on Monday night and the state save from another dark and bloody chapter in a rerord of law observante that has been brightening for many years. YYet there remains a need for the friends of law, and order and justice to keep their educative services at work in their communities, teaching their fellow men that "obedience to law is duty to God." Every good citizen owes it to his own security and the honor of the state to oppose his voice and influence against every suggestion that the law cannot be trusted and the "savagery of the pack" must be resorted to upon anp sudden provoca-tion.

Williams, is the beloved shepherd of that church." MRS. JEROME: "Why, Ampie, you look to be in a deep study. Wish we could assist you in solving your problems." AMPLIFIER: "Yes, I am trying to get my program for the fall ar- ranged and outlined. I have be- fore me nearly a hundred invitations to visit churches. Look over this list for yourself—churches in Richmond I have never visited." AMPRIFIERI: "I am also a little sleepy—I was up late last night attending a church meeting. In spite of those who tried to start a provocative pot to boiling, we had an excellent meeting. Yea, Providence had enough good religious cooks in the kitchen to save the "broth."

AMPLIFIERI: "Jero, I have already warned them, but my warning and advice to them have done no good. Only death can make those disgruntled members behave themselves. The ministers are really preaching to them the gospel. Well, so much for that—we will pray for them. What do you want to know this time?" BRO. JEROME: "Well, Amplifier we came here today to impart to you something about the services at FIFTH BAPIST CHURCH, Corner Harvie and Cary Streets."

But first I wish to mention the program which was rendered the Fifth Sunday, that is if you wish to hear about it?" AMPLIFIER: "Of course I would like to know about it. Why not?" SISTER JEROME: "At three-thirty P.M., right on the dot, Sunday, August 31st the Fifth Baptist Church Senior Choir sang the opening song." AMPLIFIER: "Who led the praise services?" SISTER JEROME: "O-that's right; the devotions were conducted by the pastor, Rev. R. S. Anderson. These praise services were much enjoyed by all present. I am waiting for your next question?" AMPLIFIER: "Who made the address of welcome?" SISTER JEROME: "The welcome address was made by Deacon J. M. Langhorne, Deacon Langhorne delivered a most telling address. It was full of cordiality and sincerity. AMPLIFIER: "Sister Jerome, who did you say responded to this address of welcome?"

Hatcher, rendered an Instrumental Solo. All seemed to have enjoyed this solo." AMPLIFIER: "I see that this was quite an interesting program. Proceed." SISTER JEROME: "Following this instrumental solo was another solo, rendered by Mrs. Dorothy Clarke, of Bethlehem Baptist Church. The audience listened to Mrs. Clarke with intense interest." AMPLIFIER: "I see that there were participants from various churches in the city. What was the next number on the program?" SISTER JEROME: "It was a recitation by Mrs. B.

I was going to say that brother L. E. Ruffin, 1418 Idlewood Avenue, is quite an active member of Fifth Baptist Church. He is also head of the Sick Committee. There is not a more active, loyal, zealous, earnest and proficient worker of Fifth Baptist Church than Bro. Ruffin. As to his visits to the sick, we have known him to visit as many as twenty-five people in one day. He is also leader of the S. R. P. Meeting. There is only one L. E. Ruffin we know, and he is much beloved by all who know him. Long live Bro. L. E. Ruffin." AMPLIFIER: "Bro. Jerome, about how many deacons do they have at Fifth Baptist Church?" BRO.

He gave not only the location but the description of the seven brick buildings that make up the domicile and provide the housings in this report, and backs it up with appraisal certified accountants' audits and valuation, that it is the largest printing nd publishing race in the world. "Down in Nashville, Tennessee, the Attens of the South, we manufacture, publish, disseminate and circulate religious tracts and literature for the Missionary Baptists of every land and country where they believe in and desire to practice the "One Lord, My father, the late Dr. R. H. Boyd, onceceived the idea and ma(de a demonstration of the possibilities of Negro writing manufcturing Baptists. He had felt that a surreal or denomination visualization: he visualized WILLIE MILES Chairman of Finance Committee 276 the potentiality of future Baptist progress fifty years ahead of his time; he opened the door of opportunity for this as well as other generations; he built better than he knew; his life was characteristic of that adage or saying in the Holy Bible, from him later, but their work do follow them" are just some of the tributes that Henry Allen Boyd paid to his illustrious and distinguished father in the course of the two hours allotted to his Board in making his report. WORK OF THE PLANT AT NASH VILLE. The secretary showed that the institution in Nashville is operating almost every kind of intricate and delicate piece of printing machinery, that a complete publishing and printing plant needs. He says they can produce anything from a postal card to an encyclopedia, or from a calling card to a Bible, with workmen within the race. Their battery of linotype machines manipulated by experienced operators that they themselves have trained in the main, their large number of presses aning from a job press to an old Washington hand press, upto the Duplex and Rotary presses, enable them to dispatch the millions of periodicals coming from the presses annually. The value of the printing machinery alone is placed conservatively by the secretary at $450,000. The gross valuation of the plant goes beyond the million mark. "Negro Baptists throughout the world have long since conceded, said the Rev. Mr. Boyd, "that self-help, racial advancement and .denominational accomplishments, these three in one, are found at the institution down there in Nashville. LEADS IN DENOMINATIONAL AND RACE PUBLICATIONS. Leading out in the production of a series of literature thoroughly Baptistic and strictly orthodox, is one of the claims set up by the secretary that he recited before the leaders of his religious faith. He showed CAPTAIN NATHANIEL ROY Chairman Parade Committee REV. R. M. WILLIAMS OPENING SPEAKER CHARLES E. DUDLEY Chairman of Housing Committee W. M. GRANT Chairman of Publicity Committee the Batptists of America that they are the originators and producers of organized literature suitable to Baptist ideas and conforming with their denominational tenets; that they lead out in the production of high-class standards on Sunday School lessons, and have developed a list of publications that have been distributed in three World's Sunday School conventions. The secretary of this institution who worked side by side with his father, and then stepped into the late Dr. Boyd's place when he was called from labor to reward, has spent a quarter of a century in specializing in Sunday School work. He heads up the Sunday school congress, and is a member of the I international Council of religious education. They produce twenty-five different books and anthems at their plant; they manufacture church supplies, they circulate the official organ of their denomination, a weekly publication; they are headquarters for the religious thought, and the source of supplies of the National Baptist convention of America. In concluding his report he gave not only a statement of circulation by periodicals, but the total receipts and disbursements for the fiscal year. When he had finished, the convention endorsed and adopted it by a unanimous vote. Boards Will Report Elevw Board connected with this notional body will make its report and have something to soy, something to illustrate and demonstrate that bears upon the fifty years of the organization.

Williams Hampton Institute, Va., Sept. 5: The athletic departments of Hampton Institute and Lincoln University have completed arrangements for their second annual game to be played in New York City, Saturday, November 1, 1980; at Yankee Stadium. The game last year in the Polo Grounds marked the first appearance of two Negro College Teams. The same is true this year of the game to be played in the Yankee Stadium. Many suestioned the advisability of playing the game in New York last season, but it turned out to be what the New York fans have long desired. It brought to the very doors of the largest Negro community in the world one of the major sports events of the year. The game and the crowd surpass the efections of many football fans. Hundreds of enthusiasts from differena sections of the country who missed the contest in 1929 are already making arrangements to be at the Yankee Stadium when the two teams meet on November 1, Inquiries are being received at the Hampton office about the game from football followers in the South, East, and West. Every indication points to national interest in the coming contest between Hampton and Lincoln at Yankee Stadium. The fanagements of the Polo Grounds and the Yankee Stadium believe these games offer an unusual opportunity for the New York public to see each year Hampton and Lincoln, two outstanding Negro college teams in action. For that reason they are cooperating in every possible way to make the game this year a bigger success than the first endeavor last season. Lincoln upset the dope last year by defeating Hampton 13 to 6. This fall the Seasiders are working to avenge last year's defeat. The coaching staffs of both institutions are making every possible preparation for the contest. Coaches Taylor and Wall of Lincoln and Coach Smith of Hampton all attended the-University of Michigan's coaching school during the past summer. Herman N. Nelson, a football star, who graduated from Springfield College in June 1930 will join Hampton staff this fall. Those responsible for the conduct of the game and its management are: E. G. Barrow, representing the American League Baseball Club of New York, Inc., Dr. Francis T. Jamison, Graduate Manager of Lincoln University, and Charles H. Williams, representing Hampton Institute. The details of the management for this game are being handled by Charles H. Williams. AT THE NEW NATIONAL SHE danced her way from the low dives of Africa to the highest of New York's social set. But in her mad flight for fame, she forgets love! with Dorthy MACKAILL Frank Fay Noah Beery BRIGHT LIGHTS At The Theatres CLEEBRITY LIES ABOUT PAST TO REPORTER. The untrue confession of a hula dancer's life is the theme of "Bright Lights." First National's all-technicolor sensation, with Dorothy Mackaill and Frank Fay, which comes Monday to the National Theatre. While Miss Mackaill, as Louanne, the Broadway favorite, blandly lies about her past, the picture fades in on her real life. The Vitaphone story is the screen's first musical melodrama. Africa and other sections of the globe are brought into this vivid and unusual drama. Lavish musical backgrounds are seen and nine popular song hits are heard in "Bright Lights." Miss Mackaill sings and dances for the initial time in a talkie. Prominent in the lengthy cast of dramatic and musical players are Noah Beery, Daphne Pollard, James Murray, Inez Courtney, Frank McHugh, Edmund Breese, and Eddie Nugent. Michael Curtiz directed from the original screen story of Humphrey Pearson. U. S. CENSOR RULES FORCE JOHNSON TO DRESS WHOLE TRIBE To Martin Johnson, who with his famous wife, comes to the Bijou Theatre next Monday in "Across the World With Mr. and Mrs. Johnson," belongs the honor of having clothed a whole tribe of Ituri forest pygmies. The Johnson's came upon the pygmies in the course of the travels which form the basis of their first talking picture and, of course, stopped to photograph them. But, from long experience with censor boards in America, Johnson knew he could only show pictures of natives with some clothing about them—and there was not one shred of cloth anywhere, on any member of the tribe. Men, women and children stalked before the explorers just as they came into the world. There was a hurried inspection of luggage and a few moments later the pygmies were proudly posing in skirts made of old shirts, bits of wrapping cloths and, even handkerchiefs. And so they are shown in pictures. The pygmy people were very shy when the Johnson's first saw them, but a few gifts and an appeal to their curiosity soon overcame this shyness and before he left them, Mr. Johnson could not stop them from posing. They begged to have their pictures taken every moment of the day, and were wholly unable to understand why he could not photograph them at night.

GRID WARRIORS OF ALABAMA STATE GATHER Fontgoryem, Ala. Sept. 5—Grid warriors from the 1929 camp of the Alabama State Teachers College have been reporting to the campus during the past ten days in eager anticipation of the first official football practice scheduled for Wednesday, September 10th when the Hornets of '930 will begin formal practice for their very heavy schedule of 11 games. With coaches Lewis and Johnson just from the Northwestern University returned Dunn School and with Coaches Dunn and Lockhart refreshed after a vacation in Alabamo and Georgia, the boys at "Bama State" are ready to go to work and to produce their best. The "Hornets" will be a travelling aggregation for 1930 because seven of their eleven contests are played away form Montgomery. They go to Columbus, Georgia, to Atlanta, Georgia to Pensacola, Florida, to Birmingham, Alabama and to Langston Oklahoma to cover a total of more than 3500 miles. They are at Montgomery only for games at Camton Bowl with Alabama A. nd M. and with Tuskegee and at of the topmost palm, is offered this week at the Colonial Theatre, in "The Sea God," Paramount talking romance dealing with the experiences which befall a bronzed young sea-dog, a primitive-temper-er maid of the South Seas, and a braltrader, on, about, over and in the waters surrounding a cannibal isle. Richard Arlen and Fay Wray, the "Border Legion" lovers, are the principal wayfarers. Eugene Pallette, a sergeant of sleuths and cowhand of parts, goes "salt" as Arlen's first-mate, firstclass. Robert Gleicher is the "menace"; and other subordinate portrayals are given by Ivan Simpson, Bob Perry, Maurice Black and Fred Wallace. Novelty of viewpoint, or should we say "ear-point," is a bizarre touch of this production, directed by the assiduous and alert George Abbott, whose "Manslaughter" attained widespread favor, while sewing Claudette Colbert with new steps to fame's very pinnacle. Far from proxicie is Abbott's method of showing the savages attacking ship. The audience is taken below the surface of a sunlit crystal sea, and shown the action as Arlen sees it, looking up from the ocean floor. The mysterious hum of subsea, the gurgle of air lines and implements, the pebbly wash of diving arm propelled about, is captured by a new camera-microphone developed by Paramount, said to be capable of operation at great depths without the protection of a diving bell. Events bizarre as an untapped world are unfolded as the youthful adventurer outwits pagan tribes, beats back a rival, captures the heart of a girl and seals away with love and fortune, all the spoils of a victorious spirit- MISS GISH WOULD PLAY DES- DEMONIA TO PAUL ROBE- SON'S OTHELLO New York City—(CNS)—Miss Lillian Gish, the well-known actress, who has just returned from Europe has expressed her willingness to play Desdemona to the Othello of Paul Robeson In response to the reports concerning Mr. Jed Harris's plans to produce "Othello" with Robeson as the Moor, Miss Gish admitted in interest She said that she had no opportunity to see Robeson enact this role in London, as she has been in France resting. "If his (Mr. Robeson's) Orthelo is better than any other actor's, as I have heard, then, naturally, I would play in 'Othello' with him," Miss Gish said She insisted, however that Jed Harris had not discussed the matter with her. the campus with Miles Memorial and then Morehouse on Thanksgiving Day.

In conversation with Mr. Hunt again a day or two ago he told me he has considerable difficulty in filling the place of Prof. Crockett in the Portsmouth Schools. He gave it a his opinion that the job would be held down to our entire satisfaction." It might be of interest to note further, that Prof. Crockett did not apply for the position until request ed to do so by the Staunton au thorities and that request came through the recommendation from Petersburg.

But I began to feel better right from the beginning of the Konjola treatment. My stomach ailment gradually disappeared, and no one knows what a relief it was when indigestion vanished and my bowels became regular. I have taken five bottles of Konjola and, believe me, I am gaining weight and feel fine. I owe all my health and strength to Konjola." So it goes; this endorsement is typical of thousands that Konjola has won. This medicine does work swiftly, yet a complete treatment of from six to eight bottles is highly recommended.

Canton, Ohio, A Few Whispered Words Prevent a $20,000 TRAIN ROBBERY The small but elegantly furnished room in the Id-an-ha Hotel was littered with cigaret butts. These were everywhere, on the dresser, on a small stand table, on a large book table, on chair bottoms, and even on the wide window sills. True Stories Achievement Stories W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago Advertising Representatives A Few Words $2 TRAIL The small but elegant cigaret butts. These were on book table, on chair bottom For two days and two nights Dwight (Fat) Moody, the venerable colored porter at the hotel had been a prisoner virtually, in that room, and had even had his meals served there. The lack of his accustomed exercise, the fervid air laden with cigaret smoke, the lying in wait of this tiger ready to spring, bore heavily upon the health of the big man who had volunteered his services to the Hock Railroad interests, but lifted him up considerably in the esteem of many influential people. Fat had come into his own and was willing to pay the price of ill health that might follow the strain he had undergone. He was willing in fact, to risk his life, to execute his plan, which was to prevent a $20,000 train robbery. It was all his own, this opportunity, and he was resolved that nobody should prevent its realization. He had heard the magic message delivered by a new arrival at the hotel to an older guest, and knew that a nefarious piece of business was being planned. Having secretly warned the authorities, he was appointed to fill the capacity of house detective, and to further his own scheme, he had moved into this small room. The reason of this step was this: Just a short piece across a narrow court was an open window. Passing to and fro in front of this opening there was, not infrequently, men with sawed-off shotguns, pistols and burglar tools. All these things Dwight saw, and more. He overheard some of the words that were being bandied between them. They were grim bandits, conspiring, arranging the details for an extraordinary train robbery, with twenty thousand dollars as the stake. Dwight Moody learned enough from crouching down beside the sill at his window to enable him to outwit the trio of smooth law violators. When, at length, the time came for him to leave his dungeon — it had really become like that to him — he drew a deep sigh of relief. But he didn't pause. Swiftly he made his way home, to the miniature vine-covered cottage where his trusting and patient wife awaited word of the results of his bold venture. He immediately took her in his arms, kissed her affectionately, grabbed a pistol which he shoved into an expensive holster, and after bidding his frau good-bye, ran hurriedly from the house. She did not ask him when he was coming back; she just seemed willing to trust him to come back, to trust him and — God. She was that type of loyal woman. For twenty years she had lived with Dwight Moody, and during those twenty years she had learned to trust her man, something many women never learn to do. Dwight's information to the railroad officers was adequate. "They are figuring on kidnapping the girl dispatcher at Kaiser and meeting the train there. They will cut the engine loose from the express car, run it down the track to the water tank, and kill the fireman and the engineer. The robbery will take place as soon as 108 reaches Kaiser." --- The Richmond Planet ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 13, 1930 THE HOME OF JOHN H. HARRIS The beautiful home of the hero of the would-be train robbery. BEN DAVIS, Jr. Feature Editor New Whis ls Prev 0,0 N ROB By RODD MYAR furnished room in the Id-ar erywhere, on the dresser, on and even on the wide windo A. This man's detective ability prevented a big train robbery, and his fighting ability helped to make possible the capture of the daring bandits. A world of information there, indeed, the fruits of his two days of unbroken vigilance. If he never made another step toward thwarting the conspiracy, the fact that he had accomplished the part of obtaining the information was a noble and all-important deed. However, he didn't intend to stop there, "I've gone this far," he declared energetically, "and I'm going further. I'll be right there when the guns start to bark." And he was. The authorities thought it better to let the bandits go ahead and kidnap the girl dispatcher, then they would rescue her when the right moment came. And the king of the outlaws, Ray Spears, resourceful, who was known throughout the state of Missouri, as well as in California where he spent five years in prison, saw that his henchmen had rendered a faithful job in the kidnapping of Martha Hobbs. The petite blonde telegrapher did not know what was going on, and had little time to devote thought to that have time to develop through the subject. She suddenly felt the muzzle of a pistol being thrust into the small of her back, knew that she was being held in a pair of powerful hands, and that her clothes were being stripped from her wholesome young body, then she was bound and gagged. Left helpless to strike back or to cry out, she was then thrown onto the floor, nude, under the table upon which were the telegraph instruments, and left there. She saw the three men and made a mental note of their looks, determined to remember them if the occasion ever came when her memory would aid in their capture. She was not excited, feeling that by some miraculous happening, her life would be saved as well as the fast express, which was thundering its way towards the little station down there in the southeast Missouri hills. There were no houses in Kaiser with the exception of the section house, and the closest town was twenty miles away. With a violent shaking of the unsubstantial building, the train swept down upon the shack, the headlight on the enormous engine cutting a solid yellow path in the blackness of the night. A deafening sound of the whistle which seemed to split the world wide open, the roll of heavy steel wheels against steel rails, thunder, flashing of countless lights, a long dark shadow, and the train pulled to a stop with a screeching of protesting and lamenting brakes. The conductor ran into the station for his orders, followed by the brakeman, and were met by the steady pistol barrels in the hands of the bandits. Thrust into the ticket office, and locked in there, these men of the train crew were as powerless to help themselves as the helpless girl under the table, who hesitated to make herself known to them because of her state of nakedness, realizing that they were bound to see her when they unfastened the ropes that made her a prisoner. The girl was certainly in an unfortunate predicament and for a long time debated with herself as what was best to do. However, she eventually gave in to the wisest plan which was to make her presence known. She then began to beat the floor with her heels, thud- Picasso The outlaws, headed by the dangerous Ray Spears and his formidable assistants, cut the engine off from the express car. ding out a message of appeal for help. The outlaws, headed by the dangerous Ray Spears and his formidable assistants, cut the engine off from the express car, ran it down the track to the water tank, held up the express messengers, and blew open the safe. All this took place with peatness and dispatch. The bandits were old heads at the business, and it was only a few minutes until they had obtained the twenty thousand dollars, shoved it into a burlap sack, and were running towards the engine on which they planned to ride to a point far down the line where they had concealed an automobile in a clump of trees near the track. But — things went wrong when they reached the engine. Fulgent instruments of death appeared in the dark velvet of the night. One of these was the revolver in Dwight Moody's hand. He cut down the leader of the outlaws, his bullet going straight home. Then began a pitched battle between the two remaining outlaws and the half-dozen officers, in whose midst was Dwight Moody, who, really, was the hero of the occasion. Bullets whanged and sang, slugs tore holes in the black curtain; there were flashes of fire, sparks from the hot muzzles of whipping weapons, groans, curses, sounds of bodies dropping like lumps of coal against the ground, and when the smoke cleared away, the last one remaining of the bandit gang had crumpled to the earth with a bullet in his lung.

Dwight Moody was commended for his valorous deed. He was praised, dined, wined, and feted to no inconsiderable extent, and the newspapers made much of his fine, glorious accomplishment. But as soon as he could escape from all that, he went hurriedly home to the little woman who was still patiently waiting, who had trusted him to come back, and who had gone on believing that God would enable him to come back, just as safely as any husband had ever come back to a waiting and trusting wife to make her happy. --- When Skyscrapers Vibrate Like Tuning Forks ```markdown ``` This is Professor Schuler's conception of a method of bracing the tallest buildings of the future to prevent undue swaying in times of heavy winds. The giant braces would be used for inter-communication, for fast trains and roadways. By ANTHONY WAYNE Correspondent and Special Writer There are many stories to pecularities when weather engineers have been listening to investigated some of them, and of exhaustive reports. There are many stories told about skyscrapers and their pecularities when weather conditions are abnormal. Engineers have been listening to these accounts and have investigated some of them, and a few of them are the subjects of exhaustive reports. Some of the stories have to do with scorned to listen to them but now clocks that stop or run away, pictures that slide to and fro along the wall. There is said to be a hanging lamp in one great and lofty tower that swings six inches or so whenever there is a stiff northwest breeze. with the constant trend to still higher buildings they are proceeding to check up on the facts; they are doing their own detective work. What about this weird and disquieting behavior of familiar objects Then there is the story of the enchanted rocking-chair, and another about an unruly bathtub that goes quite wild on windy mornings and throws water clear to the ceiling.

Bayer Tablets of Aspirin BAYER Genuine scorned to listen to them but now with the constant trend to still higher buildings they are proceeding to check up on the facts; they are doing their own detective work. What about this weird and disquieting behavior of familiar objects in the upper stories of a skyscraper? How much danger to life and limb is indicated by the sight of pictures sliding back and forth along the wall? Some of the questions can not be answered positively, some can. No one knows how many of the stories are precisely true. So far as safety goes, the engineers that design the tallest of the tall buildings are certain that none of them can blow down. In the great Florida hurricane many small structures blew to pieces, but no steel-framed tall building, designed according to present safety methods was rendered unsafe by the storm. One building only swayed enough to crack the brickwork and this was proved to be the fault of the engineer whose experience up to that time was limited. Another, where the owner economized on first cost by dispensing with an engineer, was so damaged as to be condemned, but even it did not actually blow down. These facts are all a part of the records of the American Society of Civil Engineers and are referred to when designing tall buildings for windy sections of the nation. The engineers believe that there are now enough tall buildings in use to make it possible to find out something about their general behavior under wind strains. The distinction between leaning and vibration is an important one. It seems highly probable that all tall buildings, including lighthouses and church spires, bend or lean out of the vertical to a measurable degree. When the sun shines on one side of a building, and it is cool on the other side, the warm side will naturally expand, and the top will lean away from the sun. If a cold northwest wind springs up, especially on a sunny day in the forenoon, the building will lean toward the wind, or away ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 13, 1930 from it, according to the relative effects of wind pressure and temperature. A southerly wind will generally cause the building to lean away from it, especially if it is warm wind. All these questions are now being exhaustively studied. Whether it is a fact that tall buildings lean as much as a foot is not actually known, but if it is found true the leaning motions are slow, occupying several minutes or several hours to take effect. They cannot be perceived by the senses, and they cannot produce any disconcerting effects like stopping clocks or making the electric fixtures sway rapidly to and fro. The engineer is interested because the facts have to do with stresses in the building and the relative effects of walls and steel frame. It is the Vibration that Causes Worry To the occupants of a tall building it is the vibration that causes the sense of swaying. It is the same thing that happens in a tuning-fork when it is struck. After being struck the ends of the fork swing to and fro for several seconds with a harmonic motion; that is, it is a regular beat with a frequency or pitch which is always the same for any particular fork. Like the end of a tuning fork, the building is an elastic cantilever, held by the earth at one end and free to vibrate at the other. Like the fork it has a definite frequency of its own, in which it always vibrates, and it would give off a musical note if the vibrations were not so slow or the human ear could hear it. A tall building is set to swinging by a sudden gust of wind. The average pressure of the wind all over the building makes it lean over, but it is the gust, or the so-called "holes" in the wind that push and pull the building suddenly and cause it to vibrate. After a hard blow the vibrations may continue for five or ten seconds before another gust strikes the building going forward and increases the swing, or it may hit it coming back and stop the vibrations dead.

Quick Success Complexion MENT STREET, NEW YORK CITY WHITE LAUGHTER CARL AND HOTSHOT, DESTITUTE, FACE STARVATION INSTALLMENT II When the smoke from the huge gun had cleared away, it disclosed a scene deserted by all except a prone man in an army coat who moaned and rubbed his neck tenderly; and another man, the second gang boss, who was cursing and wiping mud from his face. Safely hidden in the branches of the man's laughter rolled out richly tree which had been floating down-over the wide river. Safely hidden in the branches of a tree which had been floating downstream as he leaped into the river, Carl clung with beating heart. He was thankful for his escape, but was puzzled by it. When the gang boss had leveled the big revolver at him, his blood had run cold and he seemed rooted to the spot by sharp terror. An instant before the explosion came he had toppled off into the water, but how had the man missed him? How had he failed to see Carl swim wildly to the floating tree, and if he had seen him, why had he not shot at him again? He was so close to Carl that he could not have missed, the puzzled youth told himself. The river was cold, but Carl dared not move for fear he would be seen. In the grip of the strong current his tree refuge swung about in abrupt circles, while he clung to one of the branches with desperate intensity. Hours seemed to pass, and the water became colder and colder. Just when he had decided that he could hang on no longer, but had better come out of hiding and try to swim to the shore, he heard a well remembered voice. Hotshot Appears "We sho' air-a-travelin', ain't we boy?" the voice said. Carl was so startled that he almost lost his grasp on the branch. "Hotshot!" he exclaimed in amazement. "Where are you? And how the devil did you get here?" "I'm on t'other side o' this yere big ole tree," the voice came back. "An' I got here jus' like you did. I jumped in that ole river and cotched this same ole pecan what we're ridin' on." The knowledge that his friend had also escaped and was close by, gave the youth renewed strength. When he spoke again his voice was gay. "You son-of-a-gun!" he cried happily. "Why in the world didn't you let me know that you were riding this boat before now?" "Wasn't no time for making no talk," Hotshot explained. "I figgered sense we bof was here the talk could wait." "Hadn't we better be hitting for the shore?" Carl suggested. "I'm chilled to the bone, and I'm afraid I can't hang on under these branches much longer." "Come out f'm under em, then," Hotshot advised, "an' we'll ride the top jus' like passengers on a sure-nuff boat." "But suppose somebody sees us?" "Supposin' they does?" the other man asked. "We are 'buct ten mile down the river by now, and they ain't no telumgraf wires up, an' you know can't nobody make no time through all that water on the banks." In a minute they were seated astraddle the big tree. Hotshot had lost both shoes, and Carl's shirt was in tatters. They regarded each other with rueful laughter. Hotshot Explains "Boy, you sho' looks like something the tom cat done drug in!" the little man chortled. "Well, you don't look like a fashion plate yourself, Hotshot," Carl laughed. Then he sobered. "Say, where were you wher, that man shot at me?" "I was right there," Hotshot declared. "I thought sure I was a goner, he was so close to me. I can't figure how he missed me at all. Or why he didn't shoot at me when I was swimming for this tret." Hotshot cackled boisterously. He slapped his hand emphatically against his wet thighs and roared. "Boy, you shouldn't a missed that.

While he clung to one of the branches with desperate intensity, hours seemed to pass and the water became colder and colder.

After that he dropped it, and as I jumped in th' river, he was cussin' a blue streak!" Hotshot exploded into laughter again. Carl was silent for an instant, then he said gravely: "You saved my life, they espied almost submerged houses upon whose roofs clung marooned victims of the flood.

I won't forget that!" "Aw, shut yo' mouf, boy," his companion said a little sheepishly. "You think I was gonna stand up there and see you get blowed up? Not by no manner of means." Their voyage down the big river on their tree lasted well into the afternoon. The sun had come out, and its clear warmth was welcome to the two chilled, water-soaked castaways.

"When do we quit sailing on this rather uncomfortable craft?" Carl asked his friend jokingly. Hotshot looked at him, puzzled. "Boy, what you talkin' bout?" "I meant when are we going to get off this tree?" Carl explained, suppressing his amusement at the other's lack of comprehension.

The yellow expanse of water, stirred and whipped by invisible currents, semed ominous with unseen dangers, but the youth decided he could make it. --- 3 Together they toppled off into the cold, turgid water, striking out vigorously for the bank. The current seemed swifter and stronger, and it swept them quite a distance downstream before they reached the sloping muddy embankment. Both were almost exhausted, and chilled to the bone, when they climbed out of the water. After they had rested, Hotshot led the way eastward through heavy woods, which were knee-deep in water in many spots. Even here they could see traces of the vast desolation brought on by the flood. Here and there they saw half-submerged chicken coops, fragments of what had once been a house, and even a wooden churn that had somehow escaped demolition. For an hour they trudged wearily through the morass, pausing infrequently to catch their breath, but as it was already late afternoon they pressed on as swiftly as possible in order to reach some sign of human habitation before night should fall. At last the wood thinned, the ground became heavy with lush, richly-green grass, and the soggy trail they had been following gave way to one much drier and more pleasant. Before them they beheld a vista of smoothly undulating, emerald farm lands, with occasional houses giving evidence of the presence of humanity. Carl would have started at once toward the nearest of these dwellings, but his companion restrained him. They Face Starvation "Take yo' time," the elder man advised. "Lookin' like we do we got to find our own kind of folks. Anybody else might mistake us for scarce-crows, or sumpin', an' take a potshot at us." "I'm cold and I'm hungry, and—and I'm just naturally about ready to take even that chance," Carl postulated. "Surely nobody would refuse to give us something to eat, at least." "Hol' yo' hosses," Hotshot insisted. "T'won't be long 'fore we'll fin' what we want." By this time, after their journey down the river and through the woods, the few clothes remaining to them were sadly torn and tattered. Both of them had suffered numerous scratches and bruises, but above all they were hungry—keenly hungry. The dim path they trod led into a small copse of willow trees. As they trudged through the growth the sound of a rich voice lifted in song halted them in their tracks. "Ef you see me stealin' Back to my used-to-be. . .." Hotshot started forward abruptly. "Ain't nobody in th' worl' sing like that but us'ns!" he exclaimed. Almost at once they emerged from the woods, and the truth of the little man's assertion was borne out. A small moss-grown cabin sat in the clearing, and from its stone chimney blue smoke curled in a lazy spiral. Without parley the two men went up to the place. Hotshot rapped at the side of the open door, then called, "Is enbody home?" A Friend in Need A young girl poked her head out, and upon seeing the strangers, jerked it back. "Maw! Maw!" they could hear her crying. "They's some men out heah. You bettah some!" The woman who came to the door was plump, brown, and motherly. "Bress mah soul!" she ejaculated.

Odors of hoil- ing coffee, frying meat, and baking cornbread made them almost sick with eager delight. They sniffed ap- preciatively, while they eagerly eyed the steaming viands. “We sho’ air pow'ful hungry,” Hot- shot told the woman, who was eyeing them with an air of sympathetic curiosity. “Whar you come irum?” she asked. “Up th’ river,” cotshot told her. “We was in one o’ them ‘ood-camps, and we had to high-tail it this mawn- in’.” He raised his eyebrows signifi- cantly. ““Hesh my mouf!” the woman ex- claimed. ‘The girl, half-grown, and bash- fully conscious of her bare feet, sid'-d out of the room, eyeing the visitors wits. quick side-glances.

Maybe he kin tell you.” Carl and Hotshot fell to eating with the voracious appetities of ravenous wolves. Their hostess watched them with a pleased smile. She liked to see people eat, especially when they looked half starved, like these men, As he ate, Carl was reflecting upon the unquestioning sort of hospitality which the woman had extended them. Had they come to someone’s door seeking food up North, the chances were that nothing but rough words would have been given them. Down here they were invited in with un- questionable whole-heartedness, and given whatever there was to eat without a moment's hesitation. “‘Lo, Maw,” a voice said from the doorway. A tall, husky youth, clad in blue denim, stood smiling in the door, his eyes on the strangers. ‘See you got company,” he added. His mother explained. “And now, Gene,” she concluded, as she set still more food on the table for the late arrival, “they’s lookin’ fo’ wuk.

Checking on the Amount of Sway As to the amount of motion that occurs, it is hard to say accurately according to the construction engi- neers, However, readings have been taken in most of the tall buildings in New York during sales, and the indications were that they sway- ed as much as an inch at least, mak- ing two inches from vertical count- ‘ing the swing back and forth, | The frequency of the motions de- ‘pends on many separate considera- ‘tions. A slender tower will move more slowly than a stout one, a high tower moves more slowly than a short one, a heavily braced tower is faster than one of the same size and shape which is not so well braced. ‘A tower which has heavy floors ‘or walls at the top is slower than ‘one of light construction; one with neavy walls in the lower stories, es- pecially of stone masonry, is faster ‘than a tower of light brick or terra-cotta construction. This all comes down to the fact, that the stif- fer it is for its size and weight, the faster it vibrates. The rates vary from fifteen com- plete vibrations per minute for the very tall, slender towers and for the medium-sized towers and of cheaper construction, to thirty per minute. The frequency of vibration is of considerable interest because of its relation to the sort of happenings which cause gossip. It is a well rec- ognized fact that if any object has a harmonic motion of its own, like a pendulum, and if it is given a series of slight pushes, timed to its own fre- quency, it will get to swinging vio- lently. Hence the trouble. Nearly all the wild tales of skyscraper move- ments seem to deal not with sensa- |tions of motion but with the queer behavior of objects.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 13, 1930 This is a facsimile of the first newspaper that was ever flashed across the country and reproduced a few minutes after it was printed, by Radio, 2,500 miles away. This miniature newspaper was made in three strips, but for the future there appears no reason why any width may not be employed by the machine that takes it off the air. in the research laboratory of the General Electric Company, at Schenectady, New York, 2,500 miles distant, were reading the front page. It had been flashed across the country and accurately reproduced full size in the laboratory by means of a new type automatic carbon recorder. Radio engineers have accomplished a long hoped for dream. Not only will it be possible in the future to have an event described by radio, but through a simple device, newspapers, magazines, periodicals or books can be sent through the invisible waves of the air and then reproduced on paper at the other end. In the business world it may be true that in a few short years a large part of business mail will be delivered in this way and the large executive, the President of the United States and others may know all that is going on in any important center of the country. It was but a few years ago that the remark was made at a scientific dinner of a radio corporation that the London Times might be "flashed with a zip" into New York City. Now America is spanned with a zip of the magic radio. This device that accomplishes this wonder, is no larger in size than the average suit case and can be attached to any radio receiver, much the same as a loud speaker. It prints on a roll of paper that moves through the machine at the rate of about one half inch a minute. In the experimental tests with San Francisco, a short wave receiver was used but only because it was found more convenient so that tests would not interfere with programs of the regular broadcast channels. In these experiments a roll of paper eight inches wide was used, which recorded the front page in three separate strips. When Skyscrapers Vibrate Like Tuning Forks Continued from Page Four Waves run slowly in shallow water and faster in deep water. A wave will run twice the length of the tub perhaps sixteen times a minute when the water is an inch deep and thirty times if the depth is six inches. Somewhere between it is probably safe to say that the exact period of a building can be found. It is found by experiment that in one of America's tall buildings a bathtub with four inches of water in it would run a wave deeper or shallower according to the wind, but it was checked at three inches high. With the water deeper or shallower there was no appreciable disturbance. The actual travel of the building at the time was about one-eighth of an inch. The fact that a hanging lamp swings six inches does not mean that the building is swaying six inches. A motion of an eighth of an inch is enough to account for it, if properly timed. However, engineers say that any width may be used. The machine is still to be experimented with as a practical device, with boundless possibilities, but there is no program for placing it on the market. The sending equipment, known as a facsimile transmitter, developed by Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson, a pioneer in television and telephonic work, was situated in Oakland, near San Francisco, California. A directional antenna pointing toward Schenectady, New York, was used. This increased the signal strength twenty times over ordinary broadcast type antenna. SOUTH POLE NOT A CANDY ONE The old assertion that the poles were made of peppermint sticks has been proven false, for Commander Byrd has recently sent an order for an additional supply of candies. When the commander and his party took two and a half tons of candy to the Antarctic over a year ago, many persons wondered why the explorers wanted such a huge amount of sweets. Two and a half tons of candy allowed one hundred pounds for each man during the two years which the expedition will be away, or four times as much candy as the average man would eat during the same period at home. But long before the two-year period was over, an order for more candy arrived. Quick energy food is apparently in great demand down there where the sea lion roars and the seagull shivers. Getting Tanned "I'll tan you well," was once dad's final threat. Today it's the hotel's lure.

In this way the tallest of the structures will be braced with all the other skyscrapers and there will be no visible movement that will tend to create a seasick feeling when watching the pictures sway or the lighting fixtures swing.

Read this Frank Confession of an Unhappy Woman THE FILM "THE MASTER OF THE MASTER" BY ROBERT B. MAYER AND JOHN B. MAYER, WITH A FILM BY JOHN B. MAYER. LIFE is queer! One goes along in an ordinary sort of way and then all of a sudden something very unusual happens that may alter one's whole existence. Life is, after all, just a series of incidents like a row of wooden soldiers; one only slightly agitated moves all of the rest. What you do today or tomorrow may decide when, where and with whom you will end your days. To fight against it is almost futile, since this merely starts another chain of incidents that may have a worse result. Take me, for example. Five years ago I was successful in being appointed teacher of English in the colored high school in our little North Carolina town. I had been planning to go to Chicago and take up social work but the appointment kept me at home. Elverson is a staid, religious, highly moral, uninteresting and boresome place where the only recreations are church socials, bridge games and the radio. I had grown to detest it but I had to stay because my widowed mother needed me and the money I was making, to keep up the old home. Things happened pretty rapidly after that appointment. As one of the attractive and best-dressed colored girls in town, I became the cause of a bitter rivalry between the bachelors of the town. They were largely an ordinary crew and I couldn't be bothered with them. It's an awful thing to be tied down for life with a dull man! Unfortunately that's how I ended eventually and on the advice of my mother. Jim Blaine was the most eligible of the flock of suitors. He had money, a thriving general store, a large number of rent houses and the esteem of the community, but he was stodgy, fifteen years my elder, rough and uneducated. If it had not been for my mother's sickly condition and the pitifully small amount of money we had in the bank, I would never have married Blaine.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 13, 1930 school appointment at home kept me there, made me lonesome and easy prey for Jim Blaine. If I had gone to Chicago it would have been different. Anyway, he proved to be a coarse, ill-mannered brute, extremely jealous and yet incapable of arousing love in my breast. Instead, I came gradually and reluctantly to loath him. I hated to have him put his hands on me, and yet I had to submit to his unwelcome caresses. I couldn't quit. There was little Jim to think of, and besides Elverson was the only place I knew. So I stuck it out, teaching at school, preparing meals, going to church, being a dutiful wife and . . . and detesting my husband. Well, the situation remained the same, until this past summer. The principal of my school had hinted that it would be a good idea for me to go to summer school as I was the only one on the faculty that had not attended. He did not know that I would have gone every summer had it not been for my husband's jealousy and suspicion.

What a thrill to get on a train going away from Elverson, my husband and the hypocritical gossips and bores of my home town! Three months' vacation in the great metropolis of the New World! How thrilled I was at the prospect! All night I stayed awake thinking about it. Greensboro, Danville, Lynchburg passed, then Washington, a change of trains and finally the huge Pennsylvania Station at 33rd Street, New York. As I said, life is queer. When I arrived at the colored Y.W.C.A. on 137th Street, I found there was no room vacant—I had forgotten to make reservation. As luck would have it, however, I met in the lobby of the dormitory, Sybil Thornton, a girl with whom I had gone to school at Shaw and who was a school teacher in New York.

She suggested that I take her two-room apartment in the exclusive Park-Lincoln Apartments since she was going to California on vacation. It was agreed and soon I was located. I knew practically no one in New York and at first it was pretty lonesome. Then one Friday night a reception was given for summer school students at the 135th Street Branch Library where several writers and poets were scheduled to address us. I went joyously, eagerly, and there I met the first man who ever really attracted me: Ramon de Bendo. He was so different from any man I had ever met that the comparison was startling. Tall, erect, slender, athletic, very dark with well-moulded features, long, slender, delicate hands; long, curving eye lashes, gracefully curved eyebrows and flashing white, even teeth; he was the very perfection of Negro manhood. We danced all evening together after introducing ourselves in that charmingly informal manner of New Yorkers. We ate ice cream and drank lemonade while we told about ourselves. He was the only son of a wealthy Brazilian exporter in Rio de Janeiro finishing his senior year at Fordham University. He spoke of himself modestly and paid me the most gallant compliments on my beauty and culture in delightful English just slightly mellowed by his native Latin tongue. It was a matter of love at first sight with me. Ramon was the first man I had ever met whom I deemed my equal. I could not help but compare him with my coarse, uncoath, brutal husband, Jim Blaine, and smile wryly at the tricks Fate plays on us. Where Jim was indifferent and inattentive, Ramon danced attendance upon me and catered to my every wish, and yet he was always the cultured gentleman, never the slave. Where Jim spoke to me in the language of the store and livery stable, Ramon addressed me as a courter speaking to a noble lady. That first night as we came away from the library, he breathed an "I love you!" in my ear. How it thrilled me! How it aroused dreams of a fairy castle atop a verdure-clad knoll under the deep blue skies of the tropics! I felt at last that I had met my affinity. I was in a Seventh Heaven of delight. I let Ramon kiss me at my apartment door. I knew it was wrong; knew it was a violation of my marriage vows; knew I was deceiving my husband; knew that all Elverson would con- WILLIAM H. MRS.

Of course I took precautions and tried to hold him at a distance but he only laughed that big, flashing, throaty, infectious laugh that sweeps everything before it like a Kansas whirlwind. “Dorothy!” he breathed, one even- ing as we were rowing on the mere in Central Park under a full moon, “are you going to kill me?” “Why, what do you mean, Ramon?” I gasped in surprise, looking up into his dark eyes. “Well,” he explained, “I love you more than anything else in the world. We were made for each other, Doro- “thy, and you know it. Without you I cannot live, will not live. You hear, I will not live. It would not be worth while. You know this; you can see it in my eyes, my man- ner, my every gesture. And yet, c2- spite the fact that you love me, too, you are going back to your husba™’ when summer school is over; going back to boredom, tawdriness, stodgi- ness, hypocrisy and hatred, to say nothing of everlasting, unfounded suspicion. “You hate to go and yet you are going because you feel it is your duty to do so. I understand duty, Dorothy, but I also understand love. We are *made for each other, we both have edueation and a love of knowledge; we are both young and full of the joy and bounce of living; I have wealth and position in my home couutry where there is no race pre- judice such as you have here. You know I want you to go with me and you really want to go with me, and yet you won't go. You are g)- ing to ruin my life for tue sake of duty. You are going to kill me!” “Oh, Ramon!” I cried in anguish, “don’t say that, please. I admit I care for you but you'll admit it would be monstrous to desert my husband my mother and my little boy. I can- not do that. I must do my duty even though I hate the ground Jim Blaine walks on.” “You are a fool!” he shouted with wild-eyed Latin vehemence. Then he burst into tears and hung his head in resignation. My heart was touched. Here was a man practically “made-to-order” for me, a man who loved me deeply and had it within his power to lift me from hell to heaven, and yet I was being forced to make the choice opposite to my desires. The tragedy of the situation appalled me. We continued in silence. Finally we docked our boat, Ramon helped -me into his handsome car and we sped up Seventh Avenue for a late supper at Domenick’s. The food seemed tasteless to me and I toyed with it after the first two or three mouthfuls. Ramon too was preoc- cupied, looking beyond me vacantly at the wall of the booth. Suddenly with new resolution, he spoke: “Dorothy, you must not go back. You hear? I cannot see you, a@ woman, a girl of your refinement By JULIA JEROME A widow of the city of angels is ir distress.

Send for your mother and your son, we'll take them with us!” He smiled hopefully. “Oh, I couldn't do that,” I replied. “Mama would not think of such a thing. Besides, I cannot leave Jim Blaine without a divorce, Ramon. We could never marry, my dear.” “Well, then, we won't marry!” he replied fiercely, his eyes like smould- ering fires. “What are man-made laws compared to the laws of love? What do we care about society when we have each other?” “Oh, stop, Ramon!” I murmured, a little shocked and scared, too. “We couldn’t live like that. It's out of ‘the question. No, my dear boy, we'll = have to live our hour here and forget about it. We are caught in ‘the trap of social convention. We can’t win.” “But we can win, Dorothy,” Ramon insisted, thrusting his silky smooth ease close to mine and grasping ny wrist in his slender fingers. “I must have you. I gannot live without you. I will kill this brute of a husband of yours.” “Yes,” I layghed calmly, “and go to the electric chair.” “Better the electric chair than life without you, Dorothy,” he replied with quiet intensity. I could not sleep when I went to bed that night. The situation into ‘which I had gotten myself worried ne tremendously. The result would apparently be immediate tragedy or life-long suffering. I felt I could trust myself no longer in New York with Ramon de Berdo. The tempta- ‘tion to do something criminally wrong was too great. Rolling and tossing on my bed through: the hot night, anguish gripped me and shook every tear from my body. As the sun rose over Long Island sound and flooded my boudoir, I de- cided to pack my thirigs, quit sum- mer school and go back to Elverson at once. I was the only way, 1 thought, out of my dilemma. As 1 wert about getting my things to- ' gether, I felt prefectly wretched. My (husband had not written me a line | during the six weeks I had _ been away and mama had only written twice.

There before the mirror arranging her hair stood Flora Bandson, the most no- torious flapper in Elverson! “What are you doing here?” I shouted, advancing into the room. “J_I—I'm cooking for Mr. Blaine,” she lied, frightened. “He hired me, Mrs. Blaine, honest he did.” s | “You lie!” I hissed, hurt, dis- illusioned, disgusted by the sordidness of it all. It was like Jim Blaine to take advantage of my absence in this way.’ ” Just then*my husband ran upstairs in his shirt sleeves and stopped as if shot at the sight of me. For once he forgot to curse, losing all control of his foul tongue. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, he found his voice and insisted that Flora vas only there as his cook while I was away; but he couldn't satisfactorily explain why he had let her occupy my room instead of the top floor servant's room.
