One of the most spectacular and colorful parades ever staged in Richmond was witnessed by thousands of people who lined the streets this afternoon (Wednesday) all the way from Harrison and Leigh streets to the C. C. A. Park on Church Hill, a distance of about five miles. The center of the festivities was centered around the great street carnival, which occupied all of Fourth Street between Clay and Leigh Sts. until the parade reached that point and then the crowds shifted to the C. C. A. Park on S Street, Church Hill, where a big ball game and military field day were in progress at the time of The Planet's press run. PARADE OFF TO GOOD START Leading the parade was the Richmond Reindeer Band, followed by the Richmond Lodge and Chapter. Other bands in line were, The Cable and with a strutting drum major from Atlantic City, The Williams Lodge Band and the Shepherds Band-Marching units from Atlantic City, Asbury Park, Baltimore and other points were in the formation, followed by a long string of autos from various sections of America. COLORFUL SPECTACLE. The gorgeousness of the uniforms and the precision of the marchers marked this, the Eighth Annual public showing of the Reindeer as the very best yet. The splendid manoeuvers and the general neat appearance of the marchers, coupled with the extra mellifluent and highly technequeed march selections by the bands showed not only the talents of our race, but concretely marked a milestone of steady progress of this race of our towards the oal of group achievement. Seldom has Richmond ever witnessed such a street pageant of beauty music and precision. To Offer Substitute For Bye Bill N. A. A. C. P. ATTORNEYS DRAFTING NEW ANTI- LYNCH LAW Colored Voters Urge Td Query Candidates for Senate and Congress on Issue NEW YORK, September 15—10 yennings thus far in the current year as compared with twelve for the entire year 1929, have brought about a determination in the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People to campa- gne for the enactment of a federal anti-yennings law. Attorneys or the N. A. A. C. P. under the leadership of Arthur B. Spingarn, chairman of the National Legal Committee, and Herbert K. Stockton who has exca- tively studied the measure, are already at work going over the bills introduced in past sessions of Congress with a view to drafting a measure with teeth in it. Besides the eighteen lynchings officially listed as seen by the N. A. A. C. P. there are reports of five others, the details as yet unverified and the N. A. A. C. P. is making every effort to obtain proof that they occurred. If details can be obtained, these additional reported but as yet unverified lynchings will be added to the year's total. In announcing the decision to Campaign for a new federal anti-lyning law, Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. made the following statement: "The nearest we ever got to the enactment of a federal anti-lyning law was in 1922, when the House of Representatives passed the Dyer bill by a vote of 230 to 119, and a bill-buster of southern senators from lynching states forced withdrawal of the measure. "The threat of that bill did bring about sharp reduction in the number of mob-murders. And the N. A. A. C. P., hoping that an arused public opinion would become effective in stamping out this American disease held in abeyance its demand for federal action." But now the mobbists are again rampant. This year's record of shame will bulk large in the annals of lawlessness in this country. The states are powerless and indifferent. Probably not one of the publicly known mob murderers will be seriously prosecuted or punished "We shall have a bill introduced in the next session of Congress. Probably that session will not convene until after the election, in November, so it benoves colored voters throughout the country to put this issue of lynching squarely up to all candidates for election to House or Senate. Get a clear and unequivocal statement from candidates how they will vote on federal action to end lynching. No general condemnation of mob violence will do. Make them answer a specific question as to their vote on federal anti-lynching law. Here is another field in which colored voters throughout the nation can act as a unit. If they do act as a unit, they can obtain what they and all decent citizens desire; the end of murderous anarchy, doing to death without trial, any Negro whom a mob happens to select for horrible leath." ADIO STATION RULES OUT DISCRIMINATION AFTER PROTEST New York, Sept, 12—Protest to radio station WOR, at discriminatory remarks made by a speaker from its studio, has brought assurance from that station that such remarks would not be permitted in future, according to information sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by Lr. George Frazier Miller of New Bruns-Wick, N. J. Dr. Miller reports that on the third of September, one Clifford Parliman broadcast an invitation to citizens of New York City who were "twenty-one and white" to come to the offices of his firm for instructions os to how to make money in their spare time. Dr. Miller at once telegraphed protest both to the speaker and o the radio station. He sends t To Make Spingarn Award After Jan. SPINGARN MEDAL AWARD SET FORWARD TO JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF YEAR New York, Sept. 12—By a resolution of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee, the medal, presented annually for most distinguished achievement by a United States citizen of African descent, is to be awarded earlier in the year than formerly. Instead of meeting early in June to designate the recipient, the Award Committee has decided to meet early in the year, in the month of January or February. The medal will continue to be presented as heretofore at the Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. The reason given for pushing forward the date of the Committee's meeting is that it is desired to avoid confusion in the public mind as to what period of time was covered by the award. Heretofore, when the medal was awarded in June, it was believed by some that the elapsed months of the new year were included in the Committee's consideration By making the award in January or February, it will be clear that only the passed calendar year upto December 31, and the preceding years, are included in the scope of the award. The Spingarn Medal Award Committee, as augmented by two additions this year is now as follows: Chariman, Oswald Garrison Villord, editor of The Nation; Edwin R. Embree, president of the Rosenwald Fund; Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds; Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta University; Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, governor of Porto Rica; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis. The Spingarn Medal Award Committee will envolve through the N. A. A. C. P. files, and records to keep in touch with conspicuous and meritorious achievement of American colored men and women throughout the United States and in foreign lands and also asks that nomination for the award of the Spingarn Medal be sent in early enough so that they may be throughly considered before the end of the current year. Nominations should be addressed to the Committee on Award of Spingarn Medal, in care of the N. A. A. C. P. 69 Fith Avenue, Sew York City. The nominations should be accompanied by a brief statement of the achievement or career on the basis of which the nomination is recommended and by a short life history of the nominee accompanied by dotss so far as possible. To Hold State Miniature Golf Tournament Arrangements have been completed by the management of the Third Street Miniature Golf Course with Charlottesville. Lynchburg, Roanoke, Newport News, Norfolk, Petersburg, Alexandra, Fredericksburg to stage a state-wide championship tournament. The first game will be played between Richmond and Charlottesville on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at Charlottesville. On Monday and Tuesday of next week, at the Third Street Course, all the Richmond colored golf players will compete against each other to be members of the teams that are to leave here Wednesday morning to play their first game. the N.

National Ideals Report Very Successful Year At Philadelphia Session WILL MEET IN NEWPORT NEWS, VA., IN 1931. On September 1, at exactly one minute after twelve wc'clock, a large and very happy delegation left Board Street Station, Richmond, Va. via the R. F, & P. Railroad, en route to Philadelphia to attend the 18th Annual Supreme sitting of the N. I. B. S. The railroad company provided special cars for this party that had gathered from all parts of the state of Virginia, which made it possible to go on through to Philadelphia without having to change cars. Upon arriving in Philadelphia, about 6 P. M., we were met by the efficient Miss Jessie B. Taylor and her untiring reception committee, which had neglected no detail in arranging for the comfort and enjoyment of the delegates to this convention. Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning Supreme Master Holmes, in keeping with an oldestablished rule of the Order, called the Convention to order. In this initial session a short, sweet and spicy address of welcome was delivered by Miss Blanche Carney, which was ably and forcefully responded to by Mrs. Martha R. Brown, of Washington, D. C. The afternoon session was given over to annual reports of the Supreme Officers. The note of harmony and oneness that was sounded from these reports was strikingly impressive. The most amazing thing about these reports was the fact that despite the great wave of financial depression that has enveloped the country, the organization showed substantial gains numerically as if four times financially. Two thousand, four hundred and eighty-four members were added and the cash value of the Order was increased by more than six thousand ($6,000) dollars. This accomplishment places Mr. A. W. Holmes and his co-laborers in a very eminent position among business enterprise builders in our group. His methods will be found to be safe and sound. A great feast of pleasure for all who attended the Convention was begun Wednesday night, when, through the influence of Mrs. Maude A. Morisette, Mr. Thacker, the Secretary to the Mayor, delivered a splendid address of welcome. The pulsations of every one's heart were quickened by the warmth of friendship and sincerity which was expressed by this distinguished speaker. Miss Agnes R. Levey and Miss Ethel Gainescovered themselves with glory in their addresses of welcome to the Convention. Mr. Susie B. Williams, of Richmond, very eloquently and befittingly responded to these addresses. The master stroke of Mrs. Maud A. Morisette was registered on Wednesday when she arranged the trip up the Delaware Riveron the "John Wanamaker" yacht. The beautiful sensory which lined both sides of the river, dotted here and there with places of great historic value, combined with the invigorating breeze and lovely surroundings on this wonderful yacht, made this trip one that could be desired by the best in our country. Mrs. Maud A. Morisette demonstrated again that she had lifted herself to very lofty heights in the estimation of the leaders of Philadelphia, the state of Pennsylvania and the nation, when she arranged the visit of the Ideal Delegation to the great Wanamaker store as its guest. Piloted by Mrs. Morisette, the delegation, led by Supreme Master A. W. Holmes, entered this huge and magnificent building. We were immediately taken to the roof, twelve stories above the street. Here we got a wonderful view of the city of Philadelphia and Camden, N. J. From there the delegation was escorted to the Assembly room of this store, where the General Manager, Mr Frank F. Brewer, came and delivered a most cordial and friendly welcome and impressed his delight in having us as the guests of the store. Suppie me Master A. W. Holmes, in a choice and beffiting address, resounded Mr. John N. Love and Mr. J. Harry Scroggins spoke words of welcome to the delegation. Great credit is due Messrs. Love and Scroggins for this trip to the great store, for they left no stone unturned in writing it interesting and enjoyable to the delegation. This wonderful visit was concluded with the daily concertin Egyptian Hall. A band of 54 pieces played to the delight of thousands of spectators. This band (Continued on page four) A. B. A. W.

Young, of Darien, Wednesday issued a positive statement that Willie Bryan, the Negro who died of gunshot wounds in the Savannah jail Tuesday, was not the man wanted as the companion of George Grant, another Negro, who wasynched in the jail here Monday for the slaying of County Chief of Police Bob Freeman. "We are convinced the man taken to Savannah after he had been shot by deputies was not the man with Grant when the attempted to rob the Darien bank and shot and wounded Special Officer Anderson," said the mayor's statement. Construction Project Of Southern Aid Insurance Co.In Full Swing BY STAFF CORRESPOSDENT The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. of this city will in the future give to Richmond another office building operated by Negroes, which we learn, is to be a modern and up-to-date building fireproof throughout. We have not been able to coax the officials of the company to permit us to use the plans and specifications for the building, we therefore are unable to give dimensions. The writer has made three trips to the Southern Aid offices in an effort to see the plans or get some information as to this building, but has been unable to secure any information on the subject, from either Mr. B. L. Jordan or Mr. W. A. Jordan. The former directed the writer to the latter, who stated that "he did not deem it advisable attthis time to give out any information on the subject, as all the details were not complete, also that neither was authorized to let any member of the press see the plans, and that this authorization must come from the board of directors. He stated, however, that as soon as all the details were attended to that he would community with the writer and would give out a statement for the press at that time. The contract has been let and work has already begun on tearing down the old buildings, making ready for the new. The building will be situated at the northwest corner of Third and Clay Streets, on the site of the old Mechanics Savings Bank. JohnT. Wilson & Co. are the contractors. Considerable indignation is appalled among Negro contractors here, out of fear that the company awarded the contract to white contractors, the Negroes claiming that they were not permitted to bid on the structure. The estimated cost of the building is $150,000.0 Husband Slain By White Love Rival "AFTER DARK LOVE AFFAIR" COMES TO TRAGIC END. Columbia, S. C., Sept.—(By The Associate Negro Press.)—In this section of the country where laws prohibit colored men and mobs lynch Negro men accused of or caught associating with white women,, but where white men are permitted to carry on "after-dark and back door love affairs" with Negro women, there has come to light a love affair, which not only revealed the affection existing between the principals, but also that the white man was enjoying the pro- cceeds of his colored sweetheart's labors. The eternal triangle, possessing one "white side" and two darker ones, was composed of Eugene Canon, a 46-year-old farmer, his wife, Mary Belle, one year his junior, and Wilbur Holley, a 23-year-old white youth who was infatuated with Mrs. Canon. For months neighbors have observed young Holley visiting the Cannon home and driving the automobile while she delivered her "washing" each week. Rumors had it that the elderly woman lavished gifts of various values on her youthful and strong-tailed to make ends meet. Whiskey; parties and moonlight rides, as well as those on very dark nights, were frequent, according to neighbors, but the rumors meant little or nothing because it was a white man and a Negro woman involved. Had it been otherwise, a lynching would have resulted from the rumors. These rumors, however, turned into apparent realities Sunday morning, when the 46-year-old husband was shot and killed by the white youth, following an argument between the two men over the affections of the fighter who had killed him was a mystery. Neighbors heard the shots. The body was found and the usual verdict of "killed by unknown parties" was in the making. Fate, however, had decided otherwise and to bring the murdered to justice, steered the investigating officers to the home of young Holley, where they found a dew-spattered shot-gun, which had been recently fired. The caliber of the gun tallied with that from which the death-dealing shell had been fired and young Holley was placed under arrest. The youth denied that he had killed Canon, but under cross-examination confessed that he had fired the shot-gun, which the youth his older sweetheart that on Saturday evening young Holley had gone with Mrs. Canon, as usual, to deliver several "washings." En route home they bought a few drinks and took a ride to soher up a bit. In the meantime, the tired husband was awaiting his soulmate, who arrived just about midnight in company with her white lover. He upbraided both of them and threatened to kill the youth. Just as dawn was breaking Sunday morning, Canon was aroused by a noise on the outside and went to investigate. His wife had evidently heard the noise before he had, as already she was out of the house. As Canon reached the door-step a shot was fired and he fell to the ground mortally wounded, from a gun-shot wound inflicted by his wife's lover, while she stood by the youth's side. Not only did she stand by his side as he fired the shot which killed her husband, but in her testimony she declared that her husband was armed and that the white youth shot in self-defense. This theory, however, did not mean much to the scene neighbors who needed to the scene of killing were told that no re-entry to the body when they found it. nor was there one near the house. It is reported that the woman found one in a corn-patch, a little before the inquest was held. Standing on the spot where his victim had fallen, Holley told of the crusade killing, acknowledging that he was fond of Mrs. Canon, but denying that there had ever been any improper relations between them. Neighbors, however, expressed a different view in their testimony and the youth was held, charged in the first degree, while his lover was charged with being an accomplice. A study of the dead man's effects revealed that he had a trifle more than $1,000 worth of life insurance, of which his wife was the benefactor. Race Permitted To Vote In Party VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS FORFEIT RIGHT TO APPEAL TO U. S. SUPREME COURT IN THE WEST PRIMARY CASE. The time having expired for the appeal of the State Democratic Committee from the favorable decision tendered James C. West, Supt. of Richmond Office of the Southern Aid Society for his fight for a right to vote in the Virginia Democratic Primaries, the victory for colored Democrats is now certain. Judg Groner's decision, which was made in a suit brought bq James O. West, Negro, against A. C. Biley, William Boltz and William Ricker, election officials in the First precinct of Madison ward, was that West was entitled to vote in the primary in spite of th eparty plan which barred ul except white voters from participation. This decision resulted in nominal damages be awarded to West. 1. Sustained. Wilmer L. O'Flaherty, M. J. Fulton tendents and Alfred H. Cohen and Leon Bazil lerepresented the deferred for West. An appeal was taken to the United States circuit court of appeals, and on June 12, 1830, Judge Groner's views were sustained. The defendants had three months to appeal. Failure to perfect the appeal bars he suit forever, according to Mr. Cohen. Under the decision of the courts, any Negro who can prove that he has met the requirements for white voters, will have the same rights in primaries. West in his complaint claimed that he was a Democrat and had otherwise complied with the election requirements. This poin was not in dispute. The defendants filed a demurrer to which Judge Groner entered an adverse opinion. The damages awarded WestTda The damages allowed West were nominal, the verdict being agreed to peal to the circuit court. The opin- tor the purpose of permitting an ap- son of three months ago was handed down at the Asheville term of the court. The following editorial in The Richmond, Virginia News Leader expre- resses the attitude of the better class of whites here and is worthy of careful perusal, for what it says and for what it doesn't say: NEGROEES AND THE PRIMARY No widespread conversion of Negroes to Democratic principles was responsible for the test of the state primary election law, and no general participation of Negroes in the primary will result from the success of that test. The Negroes who carried the issue to court were prompted by a desire to get more consideration in the city. They reasoned that as long as the Democratic primary remains the real election, the Negro districts will receive few municipal improvements unless the Negroes can vote in that primary. Stated conversely, the Negro leaders in this movement argued that if even a few hundred of their race would stand together, their influence in close primaries would be sufficient requent trash-removal and, perhaps, a few positions as street cleaners in the Negro sections. Politically, this was sound reasoning in theory. How it will work out is practice, nobody can foresee. Manifestly, if the Negroes enrolled as Democrats in sufficient numbers, they could ultimately compel the election authorities to permit other Negroes to qualify for the ballot on the same terms as white men, instead of being barred by impossible educational requirements. That, in turn, would some day give the ballot to most Negroes of the new generation who have had a few years of schooling; and in that way the Negro would be brought back into politics. But if this comes at all, it will be very slowly. At present, the Negro would be far more enthusiastic if they had won the right to participate in the Republican mass meetings and conventions.

HEAVY PLANET When the State Democratic Committee forfeited its right of appeal to the United States Supreme Court in the West Primary Case, one of two things dictated this action. Either the moderates in the Democratic councils succeeded in making this as a friendly gesture to Virginia Negroes or the hopelessness of the case was so apparent that they did not want to be placed in such a ludicrous position before the eyes of the nation. The best thinkers among our group here are hoping that the first possibility is true, that is, that the general attitude of good will and a desire to help the Negro become a real and helpful American citizen has dictated that no obstacles be placed in his path on his upward march. This attitude is felt in the other spheres of working with the id rendered Negroes by the whites here when the race endeavors to put over an advanced program of religious, social, economic, or educational work. It is just as impossible for the Negro to reach his ultimate in citizenship without the aid and co-operation of the white man, as it is to "fly to heaven with iron wings and no motor." Our greatest progress has been in those lines of endeavor where the white man has given his aid, support and cooperation. We know that we cannotbe come potent factors in the civic life here without the opportunity being encouraged by the dominant group, and we hope this is a movement in that direction. MR. HOOVER ANSWERS (From the Chicago Defender, September 6, 1930) More persons have been lynched in the United States this year than in the past five years. The figures sent out by Tassieee Institute, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Interracial society for the first six months of 1930 showed that more men had been put to death by mobs during that period than were lynched during the whole of 129. The year opened with two lynchings, and they have continued with regality during the eight months that have passed. During all this time organizations, newspapers and individuals were asking the president of the United States, the state governments and the national congress to do some thing about these outrages, but no word was heard from the highest executive of the land. As far as Mr. Hoover was concerned a lynching was an ordinary affair, and in keeping with the best interests of the American people. The state governors protested some of them making extravagant speeches about punishing lynchers but the president said nothing. Finally, however, Mr. Hoover spoken. When Walter White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. wrote to ask him about his opinion on these barbarous outrages, Mr. Hoover took his pen in hand (that is, in the hand or one or his secretaries and answered in these grandilouquent terms: "Every decent citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democracy." What a declaration! We can imagine the great exertion Mr. Hoover was put to in propounding these great and indisputable truths! After that masterpiece of American literature, he must have it the dire need of a vacation. But what Mr. Hoover said was not enough. What he should have said was that, as president of the United States, as commander-in-cheif of the army and navy, and as the man who has taken oath not only to uphold, but to enforce the laws of the United States, that he would take immediate steps to put a stop to lynching EVEN IF HE HAD TO SEND MARINES INTO EVERY STATE IN THE UNION. He didn't say that, though. He made some flimsy, vascillating comment about decent citizens and democracy. It seems to us that he should have confined his efforts to building bridges and roads. As a president he is a complete flop! SLAPPING OUR POLITICAL ENIMIES AND SUPPORTING The N. A. A. C. P. and other organizations and political leaders have been urging colored voters to remember their friends and foes when they go to the polls remember them as friends or as foes, regardless of party label. Following along this line we are urging the Colored voters of Residents of West Leigh Street, above Chamberlayne may get smooth paving in the near future, according to information reaching The Planet. Among those who have expressed interest in the project are the Mayor, Director Wingfield, Dr. Douglas Freeman, our good friend, Mr. O. H. Funsen and others. Colonel John R. Chiles, is among those foremost in tring to get this much needed improvement os soon as possible. It is hoped that this work will be done as far as Brook Avenue at least, as soon as possible. Our Fraternities have certainly been holding the center of the stage these past three weeks. These annual gatherings prove that fraternism is yet the dominant factor in the lives of our people, the Church being the only possible excention. The insurance group here is one of the bright marks upon the business and economic background for permanent development of the race in Richmond. Negroes should support these companies and pay special attention to their insurance needs. Doing these i. e., insuring in Negro companies and getting adaquate coverage for the individual will aid materially in strengthening the race here. Mr. Neblett of the Victory Life Company, Second floor Commercial Bank Bldelling, paid a claim of $5,000 to one of our families that has lost its mainstay. Such business as this transacted within our race is of inestimable benefit to all. Kentucky to go in full force to the polls next November and cast their votes for Jon J. M. Ribson for United States Senator. Senator Robson has proven himself self-tair and friendly to the Negro. His stand in the Parker situation pleased not only the Colored people of Kentucky but was applauded by the Colored people of the nation, because his vote was the deciding vote. If he had voted the other way Judge Parker would now be Supreme Court Justice. Senator Robson's stand on immigration is also beneficial to the Negro inasmuch as he would keep foreign labor competition from this country. His Robson-Capper bill, spreading the benefits of education, includes the Colored youth. His stand on the questions affecting World War Veterans included a great eulogy of the Negro soldier. So Senator Robson, by all measurements, deserves and merits the undivided on unanimous support of Colored Kentuckians. ON THE JOB (From the Pittsburgh Courier, September 6, 1930.) The bitterest critics of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People cannot say that it has not been constantly on the job this year. It successfully directed the fight against the confirmation of Judge Parker for a seat on the United States Supreme Court; its Director of Branches staged a meeting in Chickasha, Oklahoma, just a few days after the horrible lynching there and won the allegiance of the mayor; it brought the attention of the entire world to the segregation of the Negro Gold Star Mothers; many of its local branches have won notable victories as in Mount Vernon, N. Y. and just recently in Elizabeth, N. J. where efforts to deprive Negroes of the use of a municipal swimming pool were defeated; and lastly, by no means least, the brilliant work of Walter White, Mrs. W. T. Bailey, Marion (Ind.) branch president, Rev William Amiesbrugh, Rev C. S. Brown, and Messrs. Robert L. Bailey and Robert L. Brockenburr of Indianapolis in connection with the friendish lynching in Marion, Ind. Not only has the guilt of certain public officials been established, but the names of the rincleaders of the mob have been obtained and placed in th hands of the Governor of Indiana. Thus, the State of Indiana is placed in a position where it must take drastic action or else stand before the world with the blood of the lynched Negro boys on its hands. It is by such sleedy and vigorous, not to say intelligent action that our few remaining liberties are safeguarded. Even if one ignored the victories of the N. A. A. C. P. in the various notable and evocal cases of the past, one would be compelled to admit from this year's record of intelligent milteness and sound strategy that its work is of inestimable value to the Neoero group, and should be aided, continued and broadened. --- Can The Negro Hold His Job? question, for some time the leading one is made more serious by the coming of the organization and Order of Black Shirts,"pose is to take every job away from the country and to force them "to go to the Order of Black Shirts says that the Ne.

The Order of Black Shirts says that the Negro shall not hold his job. It is foolish to suppose that all city Negroes are suited "to go to the country," and it is also foolish to suppose that all country white men are suited to go to the city. The most marvelous thing about the Order of Black Shirts is that it managed to name itself a name which had in it such a word as "black," since its founders hate men of black skin, whom they are avowed to destroy.

On the other hand, there are those who think that the Black Shirts are a cloud with thunder, and that the adverse action of the courts may not entirely end the activities of the order, for: 1.

The attitude of the Hoover administration is said to afford a fertile soil for the fructifying of Black Shirt propaganda, as is claimed by the editorial in the Norfolk Journal and Guide: "This new effort to throttle the Negro is vitalized by a familiar war cry: 'This is a white man's country!' That is why the Georgia Facistis feel called upon to separate all Negroes in cities from their jobs. They are mimicking an earlier movement which separated the Negro from the right of suffrage. Now these new patriots employ the idea to stop the Negro from earning a living by working with his hands.

One hundred years ago, how would he have answered the question—Can the Negro break his chains of slavery, "God is not dead." TEN DEMANDMENTS. FINALLY. The Lynching Evil Since January 1, 1930, there has been lynched within the bounds of these United States, more than twelve Negroes who in the greater number of cases were in the custody of the officers of the law, and who were held on charges that we believe could have, in the event they were given a fair trial, been proved groundless in the majority of cases. A citizen of the United States is supposed to be guaranteed under the Constitution, a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. A man is considered innocent until he is proved guilty, the burden of proof resting upon the state, even the courts overstep their bounds when they convict a man while there exists a reasonable doubt as to his guilt. What more can be expected of mobs when they observe almost daily the violation of the basic laws of the land by duly constituted authority? The law enforcement machinery of most of the states of the union has broken down completely, as far as the Negro is concerned, there is no protection for him at any stage of the game, he lives in jeopardy from the cradle to the gren despite the numerous assurances of protection as laid down in the constitution. The consensus of opinion among American white men today seems to be that the provisions of the constitutions do not apply to the Negro. To consider the Negro as mere chattel, as in the days of slavery seems to be the order of the day. This damable attitude is slowly spreading throughout the length and breadth of the United States. The Negro has served this country in every military conflict in which it has been involved since the Civil War, at no time has he rebelled against the government of the United States or any state of the union since he obtained freedom, the writer is therefore at a loss to understand why the National government and the states which are the branches that receive their power and authority from the National government as a limb receives its life from the tree, invariably hand the Negro a stone when he request's bread. The condition of which I speak are known to all men, from the highest official to the lowest citizen, yet there is nothing done by high officials to alleviate these conditions, not even a gesture made that would give us one iota of hope that a change for the better will be forthcoming. To our minds the duty rests upon the president and the congress to take the necessary steps to put an end to these outrages, seeing that the states, in most instances, have proved themselves either inadequate or unwilling to protect the lives of their citizens. In most cases where men have been lynched the National Guard is called out either before or after the lynching, it makes little difference whether before or after, yet none of the murderers are ever apprehended and punished, hundreds of guns and a plentiful supple of ammunition is at the command of the local officers and the guardsmen, yet no members of the mobs are ever killed or wounded, the local officers are always unable to identify any of the members of mobs, yet any of these officers on catching a fleeting glimpse of a Negro criminal in San Francisco can positively identify him in Maine in a crowd of ten thousand, so to speak. Let it be remembered that the Negro is not unmindful of these things and that, in his feeble way, he is asking that those in authority will see to it that something is done to put an end to the heinous crimes that are being committed against his race in America. Unlike the mobs who take the law in their own hands and wreak venence upon those who they think have done one of their number an injury, in an endeavor to persuade upon those who they think have done one of their number an injury, we employ peaceful means in an endeavor to persuade those in authority to accord unto us the same treatment, the same duties, the same privileges and the same rights and liberties that (Continued on Page 4) VIEWS OF THE PUBLIC BISCUITS AND BERRIES vs. PRINCIPLES AND PROGRESS (Concluding Article.) In his release, to which this article is the third and concluding rejoinder, Professor Gordon B. Hancock charged, by intimation, that the militant attitude of Negro publications and radicals in the North was doing more to hurt the Southern Negro than help him. That such a conclusion is out of harmony with the facts all who are not biased will readily agree. In the first place, one will look in vain to find the Negro publication, North or South, that speaks out in a clear and consistently radical tone against the wrongs visited upon the race or that is openly opposed to the existing economic and social order, out of which these wrongs grow. The Chicago Defender and The Crisis are the only race publications that occasionally strike a radical note. neither of them, however, ventures beyond a spasmodic, surface-consideration of the race problem; both of them religiously avoid a thorough and clear-cut discussion of the politico-economic phase of the problem. While it is admittedly true that every Negro is at heart a radical, it is however equally true that his radicalism is largely of a racial nature directed against the disadvantages he faces, and not against the economic and political conditions upon which racial and other prejudices feed. This explains why the of the sincere many Negro intel- The only other publication in the North which can be said to exercise any substantial influence upon the Southern Negro is the Pittsburgh Courier. However, with the refreshing exception of George S. Schuyler's column there is nothing in the Courier which entitles it to be classed as a radical paper. To his eternal credit Schuyler has kept constantly before his readers the light of economic radicalism and the race as a whole is appreciative of him while the editor of the Courier with good business sense and vision recognizes the value to his paper of a radical columnist. Other Negro editors might yet see the wisdom of adopting a similar course of action. In every other respect there is no important difference between Negro publications in the North and those in the South. In the second place, the conditions against which every Negro should cry out, are no longer confined to the South, or, to the United States for that matter. In Brooklyn a few weeks ago, a Negro boy accused of snatching a white woman's pocketbook was saved from being lynched by a mob only because of timely appearance of a police officer. Recently in Marion, Indiana, a mob invaded the prison and lynched two Negro youths who were being held for trial on a charge of murder and rape. Even as these lines are being written a special dispatch to the New York Times states that on Labor Day, 10, 000 Klansmen held field day exercises at Peekslaw, N. Y., where they burnt the usual cross, and that delegations of Klansmen were present from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts. In the face of these facts Professor Hancock's charge against Northern race publications and radicals is to say the least, grossly unfair. The Negro problem is no longer provin OCMULGEE RIVER VALLEY SNAKES Macon, Ga.—(CNS)—Henry White, a colored man living near Juliette, in Jones County, on the plantation of T. J. Russel, killed a snake with 21 rattles, this being the first rattle found in that section in years. White skinned the snake and stuffed the skin with bran, keeping it for a curiosity. W. H. Reynolds, traveling down the highway near Rochelle in Wilcox County, in a light car, collided headon with a huge rattler. The car ran over the snake. Reynolds got a limb and finished killing it. The snake evidently had encountered other accidents, for when it was taken to Rebecca it was found that it had only rattle. Judging by its size, it should have had fifteen or twenty rattles.

It is my opinion that Negro publications in the North are not doing all that they can and should do to aid the Southern Negro. What is needed is a concerted, high-powered and relentless assault by all the forces at the command of the race against all phases of racial proscription, no matter where they are located. Also is needed a more militant, plain spoken voice to arouse from their centuries of slumber the Negro masses. The wailing, pleading apologizing voice employed in the past has not won for the Negro a single right worth having. In the field of Negro Journalism especially the voice of the Negro economic radical should be encouraged and strengthened to break the iksome monotone of the race in politics, in industry and in education; for, as this voice becomes more articulate and pronounced, the value of the Negro to the political and economic masters of America will be greatly increased and appreciated, and even that section of the race which is opposed to the economic radical will be benefited thereby. The economic race radical has caught the tempo of the times and is delving beneath the surface of the so-called Negro problem. He is demanding for his race complete equality with all other citizens. He has discovered that the roots of the problem are essentially economic; and as a consequence he is also demanding a fundamental change in the economic, social and political structure of present-day society. Convinced that in this late day of capitalist development the Negro can no more find escape from low wages, long work-days and a generally low level of life than can every boy in the United States become a president of the Republic or a millionaire, the economic race radical therefore calls for revolutionary changes in our economic and social structure. Such changes will enable the Negro, like the masses of white workers, to know and appreciate life and the meaning thereof which, up to now, they have mainly hoped and prayed for, and hence have never realized. The economic race radical stands for common ownership and democratic control of all agencies of wealth production and distribution, such as coal, oil and iron lands, the rivers, forests, and all other natural resources; also the great utilities, such as railroads, telegraphs and the great trusts and monopolies. Like all other modern thinkers he wants commodities produced for service to society and not for private gain; he wants to induct into useful service all who are capable of rendering such service, thus ridding the world of unemployment from which pestilence no group suffers more than the Negro. When the full demands of the economic race radical are met the Negro will then be free to embark upon a course of action which will insure death to lynching, race prejudice, involuntary segregation and most of the other evils (including "half-a-biscuit," the price of toil under capitalism), from which the Negro now suffers. And, finally, when these demands are realized they will constitute the foundation upon which to build that cultural, moral and spiritual life worthy of the creature whom we are now told, was made in the image of his God. TWO MORE LYNCHED BY MISSIPISSIPI MOB. Meridian, Miss.—(C. N. S.)—Two Negro prisoners were taken from two deputy sheriffs near Scooba, a small town on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, about forty miles north of here, on Wednesday, Sept. 10, by a mob and lynched. The men, Pig Lockett and Holly Write, accused of robbing Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McCoy, on the Tennessee highway, were being transferred from DeKalb, Miss. to Scooba for preliminary trial on the robbery charge when the two officers said they were set upon by the mob and the prisoners taken away. After tieing the two officers, Guy Byrd and J. J. Dotson, to a tree, the mob hanged the men to a nearby tree and deparred. Religious And Fraternal Activities NER, is the able pastor.

Miss Blair: "Who did you say offered prayer?" Amplifier: "I think his name is deacon Howard. His prayer was keenly felt by all." Miss Blair: "Who read the Scripture Lesson?" Amplifier: "The pastor read an excellent Lesson from the 10th chapter of St. Matthew. The congregation listened to this reading with much interest. After which, Bro. Wynder offered and ardent prayer." Miss Blair: "Seems like you were going to say something pertaining to the Choir. What was it?" Amplifier: "O-yes, I was about to say that after Bro. Wynder's heart-searching prayer, the Junior Choir sang, 'What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and grief to Bear; What a Privilege to carry Everything to God in Prayer, etc. Meanwhile, the ushers came forward and gathered the offering for missions.'" Miss Blair: "Ampie who is the church clerk?" Amplifier: "Bro. W. B. Wilson is the church clerk, he at this point, made the regular announcements." Miss Blair: "Of this Junior Choir, who is the leader?" Amplifier: "Miss Evelyn Kemp is the leader, and she is quite capable of leading this choir. And Mrs. Julia Coleman is organist of the Senior Choir. The Senior Choir may sing well, but as to the Junior Choir, I know they can SING. If you have never heard this young choir, you have missed a rare treat." Miss Blair: "That's grand. Now tell me how was the sermon?" Amplifier: "The hour for preaching having arrived, the pastor, Rev. K. D. Turner, came forward, and after ntaking some explanatory remarks, called our attention to Proverbs 23:26. Words: My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. His subject was: Give God your heart."" Miss Blair: "From the text selected and subject, doubtless, this sermon was uplifting." Amplifier: "Of course it was remember who preach it. To say that this sermon was excellent, I would be saying very little about it. It was brimful of first-hand information, a most pointed and unique discourse. He, (Rev. K. D. Turner), should preach this sermon over and over again." Miss Blair: "Good gracious! Wish mother and dad had visited Trinity Baptist Church last Sunday. We love good spiritual preaching. Why it seemed to have been a 'day at Pentecost around Trinity. Good-ness of you, to tell us about it. Great day it was, we'll be there next Sunday if nothing prevents. Go on and finish what you were saying—sorry I interrupted you." Amplifier: "Yes, in a spiritual, logical and convincing manner the pasterswayed his audience at will.

Those who did not cry ardently used their charitable handouts to dry their silent eyes—flowing from their weeping eyes. Don't forget the subject—Give God your heart."

"THE LYNCHING EVIL are accorded all other nations of people in these United States. There are many incidents to which we could point as proof of the foregoing statements; however, we will use the most recent lynching bee, which was staged in Darien, Ga., on Sept. 8, 1930, by way of illustration. According to press reports coming from the largest, and reputed to be the most reliable news-gathering agency in the world, George Grant was shot by a member of a mob which stormed the McIntosh County jail and lynched the 40-year-old man while the National Guard, with machine puns mounted in the streets, looked on. The report makes no mention of a single shot being fired at the mob by local officers, nor by members of the National Guard. Why members of the National Guard are ever called out or why they are supplied with arms and ammunition when they are called out in cases of this kind, is beyond the pale of our imagination. The next day "Rubber" Bryan, the other Nepro who was alleged to have participated in the gun-fight with the officers was rounded up and shot by one of the deputy sheriffs, who at first claimed that the man was found shot, but later, when it was found that the man was no dead, he admitted to the coroner that he shot the man. As long as such thugs administer the laws in this country we will have lynchings. We have a remedy that we offer to the government that will stop all lynching—form a Negro national guard in each state and there will not be another lynching in Dixie.

A terrific struggle between the forces of Captain John Purvis and Captain Elizbeth Zebelch, both of whom will be striving for supremacy in this drive.

PASTOR SILENCES THE, JUNIOR CHOIR IN CHURCH CON- Rumors of strife in one of our large churches have been floating around for the past few weeks and proponents of Brother Mitchell Beverly, leader of the junior choir of the church have asked The Planet to take cognizance of the affair, as they aver the pastor is showing rather high-handed methods in dealing with him. Our correspondent has not been able to make a full report of the matter, but it seems that the choir has been silenced and will not be allowed to function this Sunday. Unconfirmed reports reaching us say that a fisticuff was narrowly averted a few days since. In justice to the pastor, we may state that his side has not been heard but friends say that the eminent divine is able to weather the storm and that the reports are false. Messrs. J. D.

NEGROES COMMIT SUICIDE LESS THAN WHITES New York, Sept. 12.—That suicide in the United states is almost entirely contained to white people, is the statement made by Louis L. Lubin, statistician of the metropolitan life insurance Company, writing in the September harper's magazine on "To be or Not To Be?" His conclusions concerning the racial incidence of suicide, as excerpted by the N. A. A. C. P., are as follows: "Suicide in the United States is almost altogether limited to white people. Among our eleven million Negroes there are annually only a destruction. This fact is particularly significant since it is among the colored people that the very highest homicide rates prevail. There is, therefore, apparently little ground for believing that suicide and homicide go hand in hand, and that both reflect a contempt for human life. Two different psychological mechanisms are apparently involved. Homicide is generally the outcome of sudden passion and follows immediately the murderous impulse. Suicide, on the other hand, is usually the result of premeditation and a brooding introspection, the very conditions which make homicide impossible.

C., Sept.—(ANP) With a new coach taking over the helm of the Smith U. squad for the season, and with the return of most of the letter men of last year's team, the Golden Bulls are trecking into the campus, with an eye towards the C. I. A. A. Championship, and the Southern Championship. The Bulls will begin practice on September 10. The Coach has intimated that he will call for a fighting interest from the boys from the start of the season 'till the end. With practically all the "ole regulars," with the exception of Ed House and Ed Jones in camp, the Bulls face the season with much optimism, since the "Four Ponies" of last year's backfield, "Red" Williams, "Bus" Hall, "Bef" Martin, and "Dumpy," Fowkes will be in harness with the capable Ellis, Caesar Walker and the other backfield letter men intact. The line will be the same minus the two Eds: House and Jones, center and tackle; but with Stanback and Bess and other backfield letter men of last year, it is felt that the most cred of these men will be filled most of tably. Coach Byarm is not committing himself as to what he is going to do in the C. I. A. A., but states that he believes that the team will be the equal of last year's team and stronger. The Bulls open in Durham, N. C., Sept. 27, with N. C. State. The Annual Homecoming will be observed in Charlotte, on Nov. 15, with Lincoln University of Penn as the opponents. The 1930 schedule follows: Sept. 27.—N. C. State College at Durham. Oct. 4.—Virginia State at Petersburg. Oct. 11.—Howard at Charlotte. Oct. 18.—S. C. State at Orangeburg.

Sept. 12—One more heavy adduction to that already overloaded Hornet grid menu or Loom was made to wait when Atkins Director C. Johnson Dunn of the Alabama Stage Teachers' College announced gema previsiously scheduled for December 6, and that the Alabama "hornets" would journey to Charleston, West Virginia on October 25 for an engagement with the West Virginia State College "Yellow Jackets." The Alaumna State Hornets are facing their stiftest season yet caired and with a most representative assortment of opponents. The leading teams of the four areas of football are now pitted against the Alabamans since West Virginia for the northeast now joins Wilberforce of the middle west, Langgeon of the southeast and Tuskegee of the southeast. Clark, Morris Brown and Morehouse of Atlanta and the Southern Conference area, will also provide Hornets, Florida A. and Miles Memorial are the other conference opponents while Alabama A. and M., Paine at Augusto nnd the 24th Infantry at Fort Benning as non-conference opponents will round out the twelve games offered for the collection of the Alabama State gridiron supporters.

Several veterans, including Elisha Campbell, Theodore Robinson, James Robinson, Alonzo Lowe, Theodore Tennille and Louise Alexander were scheduled to report by the end of the week. while a promising "surprise crop" of newcomers should all be in before closes begin on September 23, and the opening whistle for the Ft. Benning game of September 27 is blown. dule is as follows: Sept. 27—24th Infantry ot Ft. Benning Oct. 3—Florida A. and M. at Pensacola. Oct. 11— Morris Brown at Atla. Oct. 17— Ala.

Nov. 11— Clark at Columbus Nov. 14— Miles' Memorial at Montgomery. Nov. 27— Moorehouse at Montgomery. Dec. 6— Langston at Langston. Hilltoppers Arriving On Campus Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va.-Slowly but surely the Hilltopsters are arriving on the campus, all anxious for the grind to begin. Although seven first string men of the '29 championship team will be missing this year the coaches are looking for a strong aggregation. The gaps made by the loss of Lee, Harrison, Robinson, Powell, Pegram, Royall, and Chambers will be hard to fill but many schools would be satisfied to have such backs as Johnson, Bounds, Dabney, Williams, Cropp and several others, even without a veteran line. However, State's captain-elect, Oliver, is a big powerful lineman and with Barabin, Clapp, Cooper, Hall, Veals all veteran linemen, should make a good nucleus around which to build a powerful forward wall. Much of the early season work will be given over to blocking and charging because with such exceptional good ball carriers, men that need only cross the line of scrimmage, blocking becomes doubly important. Starting with Johnson C. Smith on October 4th, the champs will face a nine-game schedule of the best teams in the east. The Home-Coming game, November 1st is with Howard but three other big games are scheduled for the home grounds—Hampton, October 18th, West Virginia, November 15th and A. & T. Thanksgiving. Stevenson And Co. Starts To Work Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Sept.—(ANP) Fort players donned uniforms for the first workout held Wednesday.

The opening game, scheduled with the soldiers of the 24th U. S. Infantry, at Doughty Stadium, Fort Benning, Ga., on September 20, has tended to give more rest to the initial tilt than any move ever made by the athletic officials. The Infantrymen always give the Tigers the hardest kind of tussle. Coach Abbott was assisted in the workout by his entire staff composed of Ross Owen, former South Dakota State College star; John M. Brown, crack linesman from Virginia Union University Learn Aviation WANTED—Colored students to learn to become pilots. Opportunity greater than the Chauffeur of twenty years ago. HANDY SAYS THERE WILL BE A REAL NEGRO PLAY ON BROADWAY SOME DAY New York, -(CNS)—W. C. Handy, creator of "The St. Louis Blues" recently wrote an outstanding criticism to an outstanding critic, Mr. Littell of the New York World. In part Mr. Handy said: "It is a pity, as you say, to see Negro shows become bad copies of white shoms, imitating their worst and whitest features'. "I have lived through the various stages of development in Negro music and play production in our artistry- playing and singing only in our out-of-the-way places. More recently we have become exploited and staged to the glorification of our own talents as well as the box receipts. "The present-day producer is going on the supposition that imitators are as good as the real thing. Hence all the abandoned dangling and the luscious singing of Negro chorus girls have been shelved in order to give place to girlsls who look like white girls and can do better imitations of what Ziegfeld's girls do. "There will be a real Negro play on Broadway some day. This play must be conceived in Negro minds, the music written by Negro composers who have the blues and the spirituals and spontaneous jazz in their hearts and the feel of banjo strings in their fingers. "I hope some day to be able to be part and parcel of such a production. It must be produced and backed by Negroes. This will be brown and ability shall be to sing and dance. There will be songs that are rhythmical and criminal. "When this show comes along it will be as big a hit as 'Shuffle Alog' or the successes of Cole and Johnson mark you, these productions were given in the daws before the Negro show as such had been caught in the trails of Broadway showmanship "in closestg, let me j-in you in "wish for the real Negro show that will make Negroes who love their art join up their heads once more." CAST FOR 'SWEET CHART' NEGRO DRAMA COMPLETEL New York City- (CNS) — The cast for "Sweet Chariot" the Negro drama by Robert Wilder being sponsored by Michael Mindlin, has been completed with Frank Wilson at its head.

Von Dickerson Wins Annual Marathon Denver, Colo, Sept. — (ANP) The third annual Marathon, given under the auspices of the Denver Glenarm Y. M. C. A. was captured by Richard Von Dickerson, last year's run-up, after a gruelling battle with a fast field of twelve hoofers—the winner's time of 50 minutes, 30 seconds was 10 seconds over eight mile course set last year by William Kinchelow, who did not compete this year. Up to the last two miles of the race, the bunion derby was one grand battle royal with six different men obtaining and holding the lead at one time or other—at this point, howevr e, the young Mr. Von Dickerson, who had judged his field and his pace perfectly, pounded into the lead and kept it although he was dogged to the last by Willie Williams who finished in runner-up place, but who was outsprinted during the final three quarters mile and finished in 51-00 flat, thirty seconds behind the According to the announcement by H. Polk, Jr., "Y" physical director under whose hand the meet was conducted, the winners will receive the expensive trophies and awards at a banquet to be tendered the participants in the near future.

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. The Konjola Man is at the People's Service Drug Store, 101 East Broad Street, Richmond, where daily he is meeting the public and telling the remarkable story of this remarkable medicine.

Among the recommendations by the moderator was that all saluted officers, unt 20 cent on account of the depression of the country. This recommendation was acted upon favorably by the committee on the president's address. The meetings were featured by much spiritual preaching and singing Mine Mills of Orange, a singing evangelist, Miller Orphanage Quartet, and the Quartet from Virginia Seminary.

"I Owe all My Health and Strength to Konjola", Says This Grateful Richmond Man. MR. JOHN C. TAYLOR 1688 Parkwood Ave. Richmond, Virginia MR. JOHN C. TAYLOR 1688 Parkwood Ave. Richmond, Virginia Atlanta, Ga.—(C. N. S.)—The boosters of the Black Shirt Order are on the defensive now. TThey clearly over-reached themselves in demanding the discharge of Negro servants of housewives of Georgia who have never had any other but Negro servants. Holt J. Gewinner, signing himself adjutant general of the American Fascist, Order of Black Shirts, has issued a statement reiterating the patriotic principles of the order and denying charges that the Black Shirts have ever demanded the discharge of Negro employees. Gewinner's statement follows a resolution passed by the Fulton grand jury, condemning the Black Shirts and appealing to judges in the county to deny a charter to the organization. The resolution, among other things, said that housewives of Atlanta had been alarmed over efforts of the Black Shirts to intimidate Negro servants, and that manufacturers had also been approached regarding their Negro workers. Gewinner's statement said the Black Shirts "never have made a demand on a single merchant or manufacturer in the city of Atlanta or any place else that they discharge Negro employees. "We have asked and are asking now that our good citizens, whenever they have a job open that a white man can hold, give the job to the white man, thereby assisting our movement in driving the bolsheviks from our country. "We are the best friends the Negro has ever had, and all we ask is that he stay in his place. The reason for this request is due to the literature that is being circulated among our good Negroes telling them to fight for their rights, politically and socially. These documents we have in our possession. "We fight communism, radicals and insane factions. On other thing we stand for: "We do not practice and preach prejudice religiously or otherwise. "We are giving this statement in view of the danger we see ahead emanating from the red, or communist party, who are sending white men out among the Negroes, attempting to stir up racial trouble." AS TO MAKING NEGROES RESTLESS New York, Sept. 12.— The New York, a brightly edited weekly, takes a mean dig this week at the Riga dispatches to the New York Times which charge that Russia is moking Negroes restless throughout the world. The N. A. A. C. P. relays the following comment from the New Yorker: "The latest Rigo dispatch '(via London) is that the Soviet is busy stirring up unrest among Negro moses in Africa 'and America. It would seem that America was ding very well by herself to stir up unrest among her Negro masses, without any help from the Soviet." "STARRED" AS NSGRO GETS $575 IN DAMAGES. Asheville, N. C.—(C. N. S.)—Lon Powers, city policeman, has been awarded $575 because his name was listed in the city directory with an asterisk, the mark used to indicate a person of Negro blood. Powers in his suit against the publishers of the directory, asked for $25,000 claiming that the improperly placed asterisk had been the cause of much horse play upon the part of brother officers at his expense. When informed of the verdict, Powers declared that it wasn't so bad and was better than nothing. WHITE WOMEN STAND BY COL ORED CLUB COMPANIONS Jersey City, N. J.—(C. N. S.)—Mrs. Elizabeth N. Thomas, candidate for the New Jersey Satte Assembly; Mrs. Ida E. Brown, president of the Hudson Republican Colored Women's Clubs and County Committeewoman; and Mrs. Ella Barksdale Brown, newspaper writer and civic worker, while returning from a suffrage celebrationat Sea Girt recently, were refused dinner at Lawrence Harbor, N. J. These three colored women were in company with 35 white women, and at the refusal to serve one and all alike, all walked out.

Chaney, postor of the Babylon Baptist Church, has been appointed arborer by the justice. Ouster of the Rev. Alston is sought by James Leftenant and Joseph Forster, trustees, and Deacon Joseph Young. Matthem J. Kyles and the minister lead the opposition. N. A. A. C. P. WATCHES "BLACK SHIRT" MOVE TO OUST NEGROES FROM JOBS New York, Sept. 12.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is closely watching the newly organized "American Fascist Association" or Black Shirts, organized in Georgia for the purpose of replacing Negroes in jobs with white men. While the new organization professes Kean principals its program is economic and therefore a danger to Negro wargearners. To date the Ameican rascists have had rough sliding. Time for Sept. 8, reports they received an editorial drubbing from the Macon Telegraph which calls the black shirt organization "this newest nasty thing." The Atlanta Constitution accoring o Times, reports a Federal grand jury investigation coming into the threats alleged to have been made by black shirts against employers to bring about discharge of Negro labor. A federal statute provides ten years in jail or 55,000 for conspiracy "to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States." Tne N. A. A. A. C. P. is also informed that the black shirts were active in Sherman, Texas, at the time of the recent lynching, threatening white employers of colored labor. Someof the white employers had their colored employees stoy with them overnight to assure their safety. Among the newspapers which have already denounced the block shirts are: Kansas City Post; Bennington Vermont, Banner; Blueed, West Va. Telgroph; Milwaukee Journal; Sioux City Journal; Columbus, Ga., Ledger; and Thomasville, Ga., Enterprise. NEGRO HOSPITAL NEEDS OUTLINED IN ADDRESS BY DR. P. M. MURRY New York, Sept 12—The hospital needs of the American Negro, are outlined in an address on "Hospital Provision for the Segro Race," delivered by Dr. Peter Marshall Murry before the Annual Congress on Medical Education, Medical Licensure and Hospitals in Chicago, of which Dr. Murry has sent a reprint to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In his address Dr. Murry states that although there in one hospital bed for each 139 persons in the country, there is only one for every 1,941 Negroes. New York through Harlem Hospital and Cleveland through its City Hospital, have become leaders in opening up municipal hospital facilities to Negro patients, doctors, and nurses. Dr. Murry points out. The other extreme, of conditions prevalent in some southern states, is illustrated by the experience in Alabama of Dr. Georges S. Moore, clinical director of the U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee. Dr. Moore's son, injured in an accident between Athens and Decatur, Alabama, was rushed by automobile to both cities in a vain effort to prosecute hospital treatment for him: "He was not only refused medical aid for his disability, fracture, dislocation of the third cervical vertebra with compression fo the spinal cord—but was absolutely refused admittance to any hospital available in that territory on the ground that there were no hospital facilities for colored patients reardess of the sevity of the disability. An ambulance of the hearse ambulance type was finally secured after a wait of several hours and he was rushed to Huntsville, Alabama, a distance of some thirty odd miles from Decatur, and a*mitted to McCormick Memorial Hospital, where he received every attention and was rendered service far beyond the ordinary. He died the following evening at 9 P. M., November 5, 1927, from pneumonia, induced and agravated by unnecessary exposure, lack of adequate medical care and treatment, and particularly on account of the inability of Mr. Gordon to secure hospitalization for him at a time favorable for recovery. Dr. Murry points out that despite the exceedingly high death rate, "there is no institution in the United States, to my knowledge, where a Negro who is able to pay for private attention may go for treatment of tuberculosis." The remedy for the present situation Dr. Murry believes to be two-fold: "(1) the removal of restrictions against Negro establishment or development of moral hospital units in key centers of Negro population in the country."

A LOVE TRAGEDY Like the Movies where HUMAN HEARTS are at STAKE THE STAIRS The studio where Opal was employed as ladies' maid and where Henry Northcamp made his first effort to win her undying love. True Stories Achievement Stories W. B. Zift Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago Advertising Representatives A LOV where HU in a SE GA Bv DONN BRYAN Henry. Northcamp was usually a man of his word, but love will make a man act in the most unusual manner, its strange influence causing almost complete helplessness. Henry worked at the great Marquette Cement plant, and earned a reputation for himself as being trustworthy. He had begun there when still in his 'teens. However, the reason he remained in his position at the plant for so long consisted principally of the fact that in his veins burned only one lamp—ambition. But when love crept surreptitiously into his life, another flame was started which was to burn more brilliantly than that of his ambition—to always be a man of his word. Henry lived alone with his mother who was old and near death. He was faithful to her, knew she had struggled, sacrificed and fought a noble battle to keep him by her side, and he was resolved to repay her for what she had done. A stalwart boy who sometimes fought for money at the smokers staged in his home town, well-muscled, tall and as agile as a panther, he overwhelmed the most adept adversary, and could have become a skilful boxer if he had chosen to follow this profession. However, he was loyal to his employers at the plant, staying with his job which, though harder and considerably more difficult, was, he considered, more honorable. But it was at his last fight when he was meeting Big Bill Hammond, of the adjoining county, a heavyweight who was rapidly acquiring recognition—that he met Opal Ranshaw, one of the famous Ranshaw sisters, who had attracted so much local attention because of their hatred for men. Henry was having a frantic time in the fourth round, having fought an even bout up to this, when he heard a feminine voice, rich with music, ring out above the dint and din of the crowd. "Whip him, Henry! You're my man! You're my panther man! Whip him!" Henry heard. He couldn't help but hear; and it filled him with a sudden mad impulse to overcome ```markdown ``` The Richmond Planet ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 20, 1930 OPAL RANSHAW, one of the unfortunate man-hating sisters, who fought for love and happiness.

From this bridge the Ranshaw sisters, in a suicide pact, leaped to their death—losers in love and happiness. his opponent. He staged a comeback in the last thirty seconds of the fourth round. Just when it began to appear that he was crumbling under Hammond's piston-rod blows, the musical voice, sounding like a tinkling bell, worked a miracle. He drove his adversary to the ropes, and at the sound of the gong ending the round, had the latter hanging on. The crowd roared, nearly rending the roof with their cheers. It was a hard pill to swallow to see their favorite. Henry Northcamp, out- classed by rival county. Then, who men sent up sage hurried of it, saying, "You're saw I really Henry Nort He was confl entire army Opal Ransha smiled upon other man, worth winni The bell w FLAMENQUE The sheer silken garments which clung to the exotic, beautiful young bodies were torn to shreds. There was no mercy, no evidence of weakening and the fight went on and on. classed by the fighter from the rival county. Then, when the girl who hated men sent up her card with a message hurriedly scribbled on the back of it, saying, "You're the only man I ever saw I really wanted" Henry Northcamp felt exultant. He was confident he could whip an entire army for a woman like that. Opal Ranshaw, he knew, had never smiled upon the countenance of another man, and certainly she was worth winning. The bell which opened round five found him in the middle of the ring waiting for his somewhat larger adversary. A hard right uppercut caught Hammond on his rather emphatic chin, upsetting his championship aspirations. He went down like a log, rolled over on his face, struggled hopelessly to rise, then grew as rigid as a corpse, Henry's hand was held up as a signal of victory. Did this raw-boned, bronze fighting gentleman contrive to meet the woman who had lighted the second lamp in his soul? Well, you should have seen him. But it wasn't difficult because she made it easy for him. When a woman wants a man—especially a woman who has never wanted a man before—she plays her hand cleverly to win him, and such was the case with Opal Ranshaw. She was waiting at the foot of the narrow stair for Henry to come down. He stood face to face with her, clutching her card in his hand. Now that he was in her, presence, this man who could lift more than two ordinary men and who could fight like a wildcat, found words impossible. Leave it to the woman though to manage a situation like this. "Id like to have an ice cream soda," she prefaced. "We can sit down and talk." Henry gulped and nodded, finding that his collar was growing slightly uncomfortable and his Adams apple feeling like an elevator that needed oiling. So they made their way through the almost obliterating snowstorm of December to a fashionable colored confectionery. At a table Opal resumed where she had left off. "See all those people stare at us. Do you know why? Permit me to answer my own question. It is because they have never seen me with a man before. You are the first. You should feel proud." Henry managed to say, "Proud, that ain't no name for it," and he meant exactly what he disclosed. He was about the proudest man in town. Having heard many stories involving the Ranshaw sisters who declared there wasn't a man good enough for them, he felt he had been lucky in forming the acquaintance of Opal. They had soon reached familiar ground; and when they parted at the enormous stone-column entrance to the grounds of Graystone, the magnificent country estate where Opal was employed, several things had been made clear, things that had previously transcended the understanding of Henry North-camp. Opal disclosed vital and pulsating facts about herself.

She couldn't tolerate weakness of any sort. And Henry Northcamp fell in love with her. She simply and diplomatically swept him off his feet, going to his head, after passing in through the gates of his heart. If there ever was a case of love at first sight, this was one. And when he called upon her in her handsomely furnished apartment overlooking the Mississippi River, one night in June, and met her sister, Florence, he found himself in an unfortunate predicament. These two man-haters were slaves of his least desires. He had, unwittingly, without putting forward a single effort evoked the love of both women. And because of the charm of her personality, even in the face of the stern realization that he loved Opal, he responded to the caresses of Florence. In the glitter of the elegant apartment with the elaborate appointments carried out in the most delicate tints and demonstrations of artistic taste, this big rugged man of the cement plant felt out of place, although he knew a part of his weekly salary was going to keep Opal in such luxury. Opal, who had gone out into the kitchen to prepare iced drinks, returned to find to her amazement and indignation, the first and only man she had ever loved, in a reclining position on a comfortable divan with her sister!

Down in Texas the commanding officer at Fort Bliss was galvanized into action. "Find William J. Johnson," the telegraphic order read, "reporting to this office hourly until he has been located." Squads of soldiers were ordered out to search for Johnson and to advise the commanding officer of their progress, hourly, by telephone. They were not to cease until he was found. It was nine o'clock that night before the missing man was run down. The news was telegraphed to the war department. Back came the order, immediately: "See that he is put to work at once in the quartermaster's office in the same position that he has held." Everyone was mystified. Johnson was a Negro.

When the big economic move started and orders were issued to cut down expenses in all departments of the army Johnson was discharged. He was discharged just four days before the telegram came that put him back to work. What was it all about? Why did the mighty war department display so much interest in an ordinary messenger? What was the reason for such commotion over a man who could be replaced by any one of a million men, and whose only duty was to deliver papers to various parts of the office? The answer to these questions was soon found. An old soldier who had known Johnson back in 1915 gave the clue, and the modest unassuming William J. Johnson, after much questioning, told the story, and what a story. He is a hero! What is more, he is a hero to America's hero, General John J. Pershing. Here's how it came about: Johnson enlisted in the 9th U.S. Cavalry in 1892. It was while he was soldiering in the Philippines that General Pershing engaged him as cook in the general's house. When the general returned to the United States in 1908 Johnson came with him. "I had just become part of the family," Johnson related. "I was with them when all of the children were born," he added with pride. "The general and I have always been close friends." It was on a night in the month of September, 1915, that it happened. Next morning the news was read all over the world and people bowed their heads in mourning and cabled messages of sympathy. The home of General Pershing in San Francisco had burned to the ground. Mrs. Pershing and three lit'te daughters had been suffocated to death. Only one child, little Warren Pershing had been saved. William J. Johnson had climbed a ladder to the second story of the burning building, dashed through a flaming window and rescued the boy; had climbed steadily back down the ladder and collapsed on the ground. After much questioning the story was brought forth, told with simple modesty. "I slept in a room on the ground floor. That night Mrs. Pershing had gone out to a dinner party. General Pershing was down on the Mexican border with the troops. I ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 20, 1930 was awakened about four thirty in the morning by the sound of foot-steps upstairs. I listened. I thought that Mrs. Pershing had, perhaps, left the front door unlocked when she came in and that somebody had gotten in." Johnson arose and in his bare feet stepped into the downstairs hall to investigate. As soon as he opened the door a flood of smoke filled his room and he realized that the house was on fire. He tried to get up the stairs but could not as the flames were high in that spot. He rushed outside and turned in an alarm. Quickly securing a ladder he climbed to the second floor balcony, made his way into Mrs. Pershing's room. Here he gathered up two of the children and carried them down the ladder to the ground. Returning he managed to lower Mrs. Pershing and another child to helping hands below. Johnson goes on: "I had gotten them all down when I remembered that little Warren was sleeping on the other side the house. Mrs. Pershing slept in one room with three little girls. Warren slept in a room by himself." Quickly he carried the ladder around the house and set it up against the wall under the window of the room occupied by the boy. Up through a cloud of smoke and through the blazing window Johnson climbed. Grabbing little Warren from the bed, he wrapped him in a blanket and started back down the ladder. The smoke had been too much for Johnson. Bravely he held on to the ladder and struggled downward; four feet from the bottom he collapsed, pushed his burden into the arms of the waiting crowd, and fell to the ground. "I guess I must have fainted." Johnson said. "When I came to I found out that I had been running around in my bare feet.

Smith A Dramatic Serial Story of Love and Sacrifice In putting the incidents of "Sentiment and Socks" before the world, the author—James A. Garner—seriously doubted whether they would be believed as actual occurrences. So strange and unusual is this true story of the master boxer, Joe Gans, one of the greatest fighters of all times, that it seems that the author has drawn solely on his imagination for the human touch and appeal that clinches the interest of every reader. That Joe Gans was perhaps the greatest fighter that ever lived, is well known to all, but that "Sentiment and Socks" is one of the finest accounts of his memorable and unfortunate battle with Nelson is a fact that will be released for the enjoyment of our readers. Thrills, laughter, and tears all combine in this true account to provide the most earnest and sincere story of a great fighter ever printed. It is a story of friendship, of courage and of honest admiration that you should not miss. BEGINNING IN THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—NEXT WEEK. DON'T MISS IT! ```markdown ``` INSTALLMENT THREE Through the murky darkness over the rough, twisting road the three men traveled all the night, which to Carl, at least, seemed endless. The truck, despite the expert guidance of Gene, seemed determined to throw them into the fearsome shadows of the swamp, whose black and ghostly foliage formed an arch over their heads so dense that for miles at a time the star-studded sky overhead would be obscured. Toward midnight Hotshot climbed into the back of the machine to take what he called a "cat nap." Left alone with Gene, Carl rode along silently for a time, lost in his own thoughts. Since the time they had started for the distant Barre plantation early that evening he had been wondering whether or not he was doing a foolish thing in going to the cotton farm to work. Perhaps it would turn out to be a peonage plantation where the workers were never able to escape. In that case, he would be worse off than he had been in the refugee camp on the banks of the Mississippi. His Chicago Sweetheart All he wanted to do, he told himself, was to earn enough money to return to Chicago. When he got there everything would be all right again. He brightened at the thought that after he arrived at the plantation he could write to Anton Bigal, his banker friend, telling him of his plight. Bigal had been his father's friend, and he had shown extreme interest in Carl's progress in Chicago. Surely he would not refuse to help him at such a time as this. In the dark gloom Carl's thoughts turred to a subject of which he had refused to think since the tragic news of his parents' death had drawn him from Chicago—Antoinette Gale. He had persistently put any thought of the slim, ivory-skinned girl from him, but now the remembrance of her came to him with a poignance which made his heart ache. He asked himself if he really loved the girl, or whether it was his desolate plight that made his thoughts of her so tender. Antoinette—she represented part of what he was seeking. She was a part and parcel of what he hoped to find at the summit of his career—success. She was the daughter of one of the oldest and most wealthy families in Chicago, and she was among the most popular of the smart younger set for which Carl had had so little time. Sophisticated, lovely, very desirable—she was everything that Carl had ever wanted—and the fact that she had shown that she cared for him served to lift some of the weight of his depression. Ambition Inspired He would go back to Chicago—plunge into the swift whirl of business and social life—and he would never stop until he had reached the very top. The thought struck him that at the present time he was plunging into something very far removed from what he had planned for himself—the work on the plantation, but he mentally waved that thought aside. This would be only an episode, an interlude, such as his experience in the flood camp had been. Nothing could stop him. Nothing could halt his ambition, he told himself determinedly. He would be somebody—would attain to the levels his mother, who had known only the dreary hardness of farm life, had hoped for him. His thoughts were brought back to his surroundings by the sharp screech on the brakes as the truck came to an abrupt, lurching halt. "What's the matter, Gene?" he asked his companion. Cene was hunched over the steering wheel staring with bated breath into the darkness in front of them. "Hesh!" the youth panted fearfully. Ahead of them, looming palely in the blackness, a huge white shape took form. Carl stared. "What is it, Gene?" he whispered. "Lawdy! I don' know!" the latter replied tensely. "Maybe it's a hant!"

Up the river another gang is working, and the boss of this gang threatens with a pistol in his hand. He fires at Carl. Carl leaps into the river just as the gun explodes. He swims to a tree in mid-stream and hides under its branches. Clinging precariously, he floats for several hours, and grows so weak and cold he can hang on no longer.

The Woman's Tonic ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 20, 1930 jagged trees they had just left, seemed to have an air of well being and breeding. The smooth driveway twisted and turned picturesquely through the oak-grove, finally rounding a bend which disclosed Barre Manor to Carl's interested eyes. The big house sat on a smooth rise of expansive, well-tended lawn, and surrounding it were tall stately cypress, pine, pecan, and live oak trees. The building was a Colonial structure of true pre-slavery days, with many tall white pillars running around its wide verandah. Rose bushes grew in rich profusion about the place, and deep green creepers lent a touch of color to the otherwise unrelieved whiteness of the house. As they passed the big house Gene throttled his motor so that they made a minimum of noise. The drive led unhurriedly around to the rear of the mansion, where there were many outhouses, and barns, all scruppulously white-washed. Here were horses, cows and chickens, all moving around with the sleepy langorousness of beasts and birds in early morning. The whole place exhaled an air of the well kept farm, and as the thin mists lifted, men moved slowly and laughingly through the big yard, calling jokes softly to one anohter as they prepared the animals for the day's labor. Gene stopped the machine by what he told them was the store house, then Carl and Hotshot lent willing arms to the unloading of the various bulky packages which the truck held. When this was completed Gene led them to the kitchen, where the odors of boiling coffee and frying bacon invested the place with an immediate charm. They Meet Creola Inside, Gene introduced them to Creola, a vast dark-brown woman of uncertain years, who grinned cordially and invited them to "set down." She fed them generously with crisp bacon, golden-eyed eggs, huge light biscuits, and delicious coffee, of which the three partook ravenously. "Kunnel up yit?" Gene asked her, when they had done. "He been up an hour," Creola told them, "You want to see him?" "Aw, I'll see 'im when he comes out t' de barn. I got these yere boys whut wants a job." "If they feeds like this I sho' aim to have me a pumanent job here," Hotshot said in a stage whisper loud enough for the big cook to hear. The woman glanced at him coquettish. "Go on wid you," she cried. "An' if you wuks in de fiel's den you don't get no sich vittles as dese." "Then I gets myself a job here whar I eats this bardacious food," Hotshot declared unperturbed. Shortly after the three had left the house and were standing by the barn Colonel Barre came out to them. "Where's those two hands you brought, Gene?" he asked as he came up. Then he saw Carl and his friend. "Oh! I see." His keen old blue eyes swept over the newcomers swiftly. "You boys pick cotton pretty good?" he inquired with a smile. "I picks my fo' hundred eny ole day, Cap'n, suh," Hotshot told him, bowing a little. The Colonel's eye shifted to Carl. "I'm afraid I'm not such a good picker yet, sir," Carl told him, "but I used to pick cotton when I was a kid." He stood straight and unmoving before his prospective employer. "From the Nawth, eh?" the man asked him. "Yes, sir." "What you been doing up there?" "Well—school, mostly." "What are you doing down here?" Carl explained about the loss of his parents, omitting the details of his adventure in the refugee camp. "H'm. Calculate you can figger right smart, eh?" "Yes, sir." "Know anything 'bout weighing cotton?" Yes, sir. "All right!" the Colonel said briskly. "Boy I had weighing my cotton took sick and had to go home to his maw. You weigh cotton today, and if you do all right you can stay on the job. Pay you four dollars a day if you don't make any mistakes." As though the matter were settled beyond question, the tall, vigorous old man, his white mane gleaming in the early sun, turned away and began giving orders to a teamster. Hotshot indulged in a shuffle. Then he punched Carl gaily in the ribs. "Boy, you done fell in luck!" he cried. "No pickin' for you!" By WILLIAM T. SMITH Author of "The Dark Knight" "Yes, you sho' done fell in a mess o' luck," Gene confirmed. "Dat's de bes' job in de fiel'. De Kunnel mus' a liked you," he added a little enviously. "Don' let that worry you none," Hotshot warned airily. "Jus' wait till th' Kunnel sees me in action." So Carl found himself established at the Barre plantation, and not a peonage farm, as he had feared. But he was to find that there was a stronger spell than peonage, which threatened to enchain him. END OF INSTALLMENT III. How will Carl react to the "stronger spell" that threatens to ensnare him? See next week's installment.

Thousands of children (and this is not an exaggeration) die every year from a scratch or a cut that is so little that mother merely kisses it and says it will be all right in a minute. Usually the hands of a playing kiddie are soiled—and that's a very moderate term indeed. The cut or puncture appears amid the dust and dirt of play, so that if it is not taken care of immediately, hundreds of little germs are at hand to enter the wound and feed on the nice rich blood that attracts them. A few days later the wound is infected and there is danger. Wash the wound thoroughly in sterile hot water, with a sterilized cloth as soon as you know of it. Then put some antiseptic on the wound and cover it with a little sterilized cloth, held in place with a piece of adhesive. Next day, take the dressing off and look at the wound. If it is inflamed or looks "dangerous," see your doctor at once. You may save a very valuable life by doing this. It isn't the cut, the puncture or the scratch that causes trouble as a rule—but it is the germ that enters this wound sometime later. Of course, with a cat scratch, the germ may be on the claw and enter immediately, so that particular care should be taken when purifying a little wound of this kind. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This surely applies to little wounds, where an ounce of first-aid is often a preventive of a large doctor's bill. A LOVE TRAGEDY Continued from Page One sliken lined cloud made a rift in it and dropped through, striking the ground with a. terrific crash. Opal pounced upon her sister and there began, between those two man-hating women a fight for love. . . . A fight to the finish. . . Henry, being a fighter, stood off and looked on, encouraging the battling amazons, who were also lovers of clean sports, in their efforts. . . The sisters were almost of the same size and build, and the advantage for a while, did not seem to be on either side. The sheer silken garments which clung to the exotic beautiful young bodies, were torn to shreds. Even the shimmering white negligee was ruined; and they soon stood unveiled, like sculptured figures locked in a death embrace. There was no mercy, no evidence of weakening, and the fight went on and on, to end soon in a whirlwind finish. There was one feature about this physical combat for love, which was, to say the least, extraordinary. Even though thoroughly incensed, the girls made no effort to take advantage of the innumerable opportunities which presented themselves to cause serious injury. But sometimes those things are done unintentionally. The fighting amazons eventually cascaded with the wall, went spinning down this, and fell, kicking and squirming, knocking over an antique cabinet; and there on the deep rug, they finished the battle for love. . . Florence won. She succeeded in choking Opal helpless, but not until they had permanently scarred each other's faces. For three weeks swathed in bandages, their faces for the most part hidden, the "man-hating" sisters — having patched up their differences — sat side by side in wheel chairs on the front porch of their parents' home. The vermilion sun swept the skies, making flamboyant the sky-line. Purple shadows of evening fell, gradually turning to saffron; and the road, like a yellow ribbon, faded like a pastoral drawing erased. Night birds began to call and mate. Darkness descended . . . And then—the doctor removed the bandages. . . For three weeks Henry Northcamp had been dividing his attention between the sisters, knowing they both loved him. However, he promised to marry neither, nor did he encourage them. He wanted to see them with the bandages off. And he was present that night, of course, as eager as the girls were. Then, what happened when the bandages were removed? Henry turned round and strode away, seeking to hide his expression which he was aware denoted his profound disappointment. The uncommon attractiveness of the Ranshaw sisters had been utterly demolished. Jagged scars bit into the softness of the velvet skin, scars never to be obliterated, scars to follow them to their graves, scars to cause men to shrug and turn away as Henry North-camp shrugged and turned away now. Fate had, indeed, been extremely cruel to these women who had avoided men until Henry came along. The air was like the perfumed breath of an Egyptian princess. Roses, twining round the pillars of the rustic porch seemed to bow their beautiful heads in pity. The chirping of birds, and their carols, tendered an orchestral accompaniment to the tragical occurrence being histrionically presented. . . Henry, heavy in spirit, walked down the gravel path lined on either side with flowers that were bathing in the orange moonlight. Unbroken stillness struggled in the wake of Henry's departure. He had left those girls, never to go back and they, knowing it, Continued on Page Seven This Jazz-Mad Generation Continued From Page Four ten, what chance will a man and woman of forty have to govern children of twenty?

Repeat and cover with . buttered crumbs. Bake in moderate oven about an hour, until the white sauce bubbles through and the potatoes are well done and brown on top. If cheese is omitted, add small pieces of butter to each layer of potatoes. In order to save time of making cream sauce, a small amount of dry flour can be sprinkled over layers of potatoes, and milk added to cover the potatoes.

Now what age woman do you think would make a young man of twenty-eight most happy? What I mean is this: Do you think a yery young girl (I have one I am interested in) would be as good a wife as a more settled woman near my own age (I have such a one that I am also consider- ing) ?

SACRIFICES OF SUCCESS JOHN Manners was a great man if ever any human has claim to such a title. He was not "great for a Negro" for even his white associates, though grudgingly perhaps, admitted his greatness. Some called him a "Captain of Industry." At his word business houses changed their policies, often closed their doors, always obeyed his command. The world was not wrong in its acclamation—it seldom is—when it proclaimed him a great man. Twenty years before, John had come to New York with little more than a diploma from one of the leading Negro universities, seeking a way to realize his ambitious dreams. His dreams of success were not those of the ordinary Negro. They were bigger and wider. His friends had, with consoling smiles, or with doleful shaking of their heads, told him that he was foolish to even hope for the materialization of such dreams in what was termed "a white man's world." But John Manners had before proved that genuine ability breaks down all barriers. Now at 42 he had decided that he owed it to himself to slow up a bit. If he had chosen he could have retired; but the love of the game within him was too strong. Then one night for no important reason he decided to "take in" Harlem and its widely publicized night life. Of course, he had several times seen Harlem before, during those twenty years he had lived in New York. But always in the past when he had visited there he felt that he was cheating himself; that he really could not afford to; that he did not have time. Before one of the blase cabarets he stepped from his car and dismissed his chauffeur. He decided to walk around for awhile. He felt almost like a school boy on a holiday. He was an arresting figure as he strode along. His face was black and deeply lined — yet every line meant accomplishment. He had fought hard in his struggle for a place at the top and had conquered. The hauteur of the conqueror was in his proud gait. In his walk he saw many things. Carefree joyousness was rampant everywhere, sophistication was fascinating, and sordid ugliness was not hidden. He paused before a night club. But he did not enter. There was so much outside to see — things he had seen hundreds of times before but had not carefully noticed. He thought of long ago when he had gone to Sunday School, his round little black face scrubbed until it fairly glittered. He was taught something about scales falling from some man's eyes — Saul's he believed.

Atlanta, Ga.—(ady.) ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 20, 1930 ERIES He looked around, an expression of anger and embarrassment clouded his face. It was the woman. Well he felt like that man. and noise - the noise of Harlem at A woman across the street held his attention. She wore a long dark coat, her eyes were wild, her brown skin was wrinkled over sunken cheeks. Furtively she accosted passersby. He saw that she was beging. Not with pity did he regard her; but with a strange contempt that the strong have for the weak. Yet strong as was his contempt, almost hatred, for this unknown woman, he waited, interestedly watching her game. A car drove by with two white men — both big business men. His associates during business hours; but as social associates? He wondered. The car had turned around and was drawing up at the curb. "Hey there, Manners," they called him to their car. "Jump in, we are having a little party tonight," he winked at John. "There's an extra girl. Come on, we'll see what kind of a picker Bob is," he nudged his companion and laughed. John was rather surprised. "I'm sorry I can't join you, but I have an engagement. I'm waiting here for someone." "We're sorry too, because we are going to have a good time." Their car buzzed off. He returned to his former place with a frown of annoyance. Of course they would ask him on that kind of a party. The girls were probably colored anyway. Again he thought of the beggar woman. His eyes sought her out. But she was gone, and he was strangely disappointed. Someone touched his arm. He looked around. An expression of anger and embarrassment clouded his face. It was the woman. She did not speak at first. Perhaps his expression held her back. "Please sir," she held out her hands, "it is not for myself but two helpless children." An old story he thought as he gruffly told her that he had no money. She stood for a moment with a look of disbelief in her starved eyes; then without warning she slipped a piece of paper into his hand and was gone. He stood gaping foolishly after her. He stood gaping foolishly after her. Instinctively, he looked around to see If anyone, saw the act. Then he opened the folded slip of paper. He read three words, "sacrifices of success." His puzzled expression again changed to anger. What did the woman mean — why had she singled him out? With an impatient gesture he crushed the paper and would have thrown it away; but instead he thrust it into his pocket. He started down the street amid the rushing ssion of anger and embarrass- e. It was the woman. and noise — the noise of Harlem at play. Yet, strangely and at the most inopportune times the phrase "sacrifices of success" would boldly break in upon his incoherent thoughts. "Damn that woman," he muttered to himself, "if I were a weaker man my evening would probably be ruined." A satisfied smile wreathed his lips as he thought of the absurdity of one of his power and strength being touched by such a senseless phrase. Yet as he masterfully strode along, his hand involuntarily reached for the slip of paper. He thought of his fierce struggle for success and wondered why the phrase should haunt him. His fight had been clean and honest. He had never been accused of violating the least of the codes of business ethics. He had not pushed anyone off the top, he had merely demanded that people move over and make room for him. There were some that the accusation of unfair competition might touch: but not him. Again he reached for the paper. Suddenly there were shouts and screams. Too late he realized that they were directed at him. A terrific grinding of brakes, a skid of wheels, muffled curses, then a flash of pain and darkness. * * * He awoke in a dimly lighted room. He recalled this old-fashioned living room of the Reverend Loomis. A boy and girl were sitting on the davenport. Lovers they were, talking in low tense tones. But even in the soft, mellow dimness of the room, the boy's face was set and serious. A struggle was going on within his soul that soft caresses and shy kisses could not conquer. He straightened suddenly, "Martha, I'm going," he announced with finality, his face set determinedly. "Oh John you can't do it." Oh, John, you can't do it. He had it planned. "Yes dear," his tone softened. There was no need to be so hard. His mind was made up. "I must go. It is for your future as well as mine. If I stay here — a job as waiter, bootblack or porter. In New York, there is at least a chance for bigger things." A Ire had leapt into his face. He was on his feet debating his cause. Martha rose too, her hand on his arm she still pleaded with him. "Take me with you then." A woman with him during his fight through Hell. For he realized that a poor man's fight for success would be just that. "No dear, I'll be back. Just think we will be n.illionales with yachts, a phalanx of cars, furs, palaces, everything." He believed in his dream. But Martha was afraid. "But John," she was playing her last card, "does our love mean nothing to you? Our promises, our plans? Is money greater to you than our love?" Her voice broke. She was sobbing unrestrainedly. But John did not comfort her. He was afraid that at the last minute he might weaken. Without so much as a good-bye he was gone. *** The dreamer awoke to consciousness. He knew that the boy in the dream was himself and the girl, Martha, was the only girl he had ever loved. But for twenty years he had not had time for love. There had been a few letters at first but they had stopped long ago. The nurse came to take his temperature. Suddenly he realized what the white slip of paper meant. A Love Tragedy A Love Tragedy Continued from Page Five faced this stern realization while gallantly fighting to keep their burning hearts from breaking. Through their own physical efforts they had ruined their chance to be happy. . . *** And those girls walked out sedately where the gigantic steel toll bridge spans the silvery surface of the Mississippi River, and locking themselves in their final embrace, leaped to their doom. . . The water parted, splashed and closed over their heads. Then there were little waves, and eddies came and died out and the water was still Preserve for Early Autumn Late fruits and vegetables lend themselves to many delicious jams and preserves. Here are two recipes which call for inexpensive vegetables. Incidentally, sugar is also selling at a price about as low as it has in a generation; so you have an unusual opportunity to put up liberal quantities of these preserves at little cost. Pumpkin Preserves Remove the rind and seeds from a small pumpkin and cut the flesh in inch cubes. Cook in a small amount of water until tender. Drain and weigh. For each pound of pumpkin allow 1 pound of sugar, 2 lemons, and 2 ounces of ginger root. Slice the lemon and soak with the ginger over night in cold water. Next morning cook in same water until the lemon rind is tender. Add the sugar and the pumpkin, and simmer until the pumpkin is transparent. Drain and pack in jars. Cook syrup until it is thick and pour over the fruit in the jars. Seal tightly. Tomato Preserves Weigh small, half-ripe tomatoes and allow % pound sugar and 1 lemon to each pound of tomatoes. Slice the lemons thin and cook in water to cover until the skin is tender. Strain off the water and use with as much more water as is needed to make % cup liquid to each pound tomatoes. Cook with sugar five minutes. Add the tomatoes and slices of lemon, and cook until the tomatoes are transparent. Skim fruit into jars; boil the syrup until thick and pour over fruit. Boil sugar, water and orange rind together for 5 minutes. Chill, add fruit juice and serve. CLASSIFIED ADS HELP WANTED—MALE DETECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations. Experience unnecessary.
