Men's Day Program At Osgood Memorial Church What promises to be a gala religious service is the Annual Men's Day program to be rendered at the Osgood Memorial Church, memorial home of Idaho Idaho Avenue, Sunday, September 28th. Following the Sunday School services the Atlanta, Ga., Sept.—(CNA) The County Grand Jury has requested the Fulton County Superior Court to refuse granting ach arter to the American Fascisti Black Shirts. The resolution was unanimously passed by the Grand Jurors. It declared, "The housewives of Atlanta are very much alarmed at the methods being used by members of this organization to intimidate their domestic servants, Many employees of colored labor in this city have been approached by members of this organization and a demand has been made to discharge all colored help in their employ. The Grand Jury holds that methods as are employed by this organization are inimical to the best interests of both white and colored races." The Black Shirts is one of the terrorist organizations of the bosses. Its purpose is to spread hatred among Negroes. In order to keep them divided, so the bosses of the south can further exploit and drive the working class into deepest despair. This organization uses the most brutal and savage methods to attain its aims. The Negro and white workers of Atlanta must organize defense groups to protect the Negroes from the "hidden" methods that this organization is sure to put into force since the refusal of a charter. Rapist Given Life Sentence New Orleans, La., Sept.—(By The Associated Negro Press,)—Charles Johnson, convicted on a charge of criminal assault on a white woman, was sentenced by Judge J. Arthur Charbonnett to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Johnson was found guilty after his victim, living in a St. Charles Avenue apartment hotel, identified him as the man who had assaulted her the night of July 12 at the point of a pistol. It was testified at the trial, which resulted in a verdict of guilty without capital punishment, that Johnson, representing himself as a white man and friend of the victim, telephoned the woman for a date, saying that a Negro chauffeur would call for her. When Johnson had gotten his passenger into the car, the state argued, he drove into a dark street, stopped the auto and committed the assault. WORKER TOO POOR TO BURY CHILD. LONG OUT OF WORK. New York, Sept. — (CNA)—John McCracken, a roofer by trade, who has been out of work for many months, will be forced to let Potter's Field埋 his child, unless some unexpected help is forthcoming. The child, 3 years old, was run down by an automobile in front of its home while playing. Five months ago, McCracken was scaled by tar while working on a roof job, and has been unable to get work since. With his wife and two of six children he lives in three rooms. The rent of the rooms is paid for by junior service that McCracken gives. Three of the children are in an institution. This is not an isolated case, as there are many other workers who are in just as bad a condition, if not worse. It vividly proves that there is no relief in sight for the hard oppressed workers. The bosses do not care how the laborers exist as long as they get their profits and have plenty. Misery and starvation awaits the millions of unemployed workers. Facing the coming winter, these unemployed will become desperate. The bosses will try to solve the problem by establishing soup kitchens and a little charitable relief. But only organized struggle on the part of the Negro and white workers, fighting against their oppressors and exploiters, will prove to be the correct solution. program is to be an all male affair. At 11:15 Rev. T. D. Brown, the rector, will preach on the subject, "The Man Catcher," with music furnished by an all male chorus. At the evening service, 8:30 o'clock, an all male program will be rendered, consisting of vocal and instrumental selections, by outstanding local talented individuals, the Happy Four Quartet, and an orchestra. Mr. L. C. White, noted young attorney-at-law, will be the principal speaker. The Woman's Auxiliary of the Church will house social at the residence of Mrs. R. E. Hite, 115 Sound Boundary Street, on Monday evening, September 29, for the benefit of the Church. A nominal fee of fifteen cents admission will be charged, with refreshments served. RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1930 Geneva, Sept.—(CNA)—A call for the United States to declare its Latin American policy was made by Dantes Bellegarde, of Haiti, before the League of Nations Assembly. M. Bellegarde said that the fear of the U. S. reigns in Latin America, and this fear which is dangerous, will continue as long as the American policy toward Latin-America has not been formulated in a manner in which there is no place for any abusive interpretation or application. The Haitian representative attacked the trade policies of the U. S. and also stated that the U. S. controls the affairs of the world and that Europe and Latin-America are especially menaced in their economic life by North American expansion and the increasing industrialization. British diplomats. He seeks to recognize their forces by a plan for a continental economic unity formula. It was agreed that Latin-America and the U. S. have a mutual need for each other and the U. S. is turning in that direction to increase its foreign exports. Lurking behind this policy of U. S. imperialism, Bellegarde stated, is the shadow of the Yankee Dreadnaught, behind each Yankee dollar. The Latin-American countries have this mistrust for their "big brother." The Haitian natives, under theoke of imperialism, suffer untold agony. These workers are beginning to awaken and have started to organize into labor unions which will struggle to better their economic conditions. Under imperialism, the political leaders have been used as tools to betray the masses of workers. They have been highly exploited and overtaxed, but are determined to throw off this yoke of oppression. SECRETES OF JIGMENTATION BEEN FOUND IN CLAND LIEVED FOUNDATION Cincinnati, O. (CNS)—It was recently reported to the American Chemical Society that Dr. C. G. MacArthur, has made a discovery of a gland secretion that appears to control pigmentation—the basis of complexion. The secretion comes from the pituitary gland, which lies between the roof of the mouth and base of the brain, and which has been identified previously as producing other secretions affecting growth of the body and bones and development of sex. The discovery was credited to Dr. MacArthur during the explanation of a new theory of bodily circulation by Dr. Oliver Kamm, of Parke Davis & Company. Dr. Kamm spoke at a symposium on the secrets called harmonies that come from ductless glands. He said Dr. MacArthur has found the possibility of a third harmone in addition to two already known in the posterior lobe, one of the three sections of the pituitary gland. It seems, said Dr. Kamm, to affect ptigmentation. Pigment in stain is the principal factor in light and dark complexions. Whatever this substance is, he said Dr. MacArthur has shown it can be generated chemically during the destruction of the two known harmonies from the same lobe. These two were first isolated by Dr. Kamm, who presented evidence that one of them controls utilization of water by body tissues. It is more important than the kidneys in this respect, he said. It links the blood and the lymph, a colorless substance that circulates slowly around or through the cells that compose living beings. It regulates flow of water to the cells and distribution of salts through the body. The salts are essentials produced from digestion of food. Kamm said it controls construction of certain capillary passages so that they are able to prevent sudden withdrawal of liquids from the blood and resultant drop in blood pressure. It operates through the nerves to govern the permeability of important tissues so that the body's vital food substances are properly distributed. D. W. GRAHAM. NEGRO WORKER OPOPOSES DWIGHT W. MOR- ROW FOR S. J. Trenton, N. J., Sept.—(CNA)— For the first time, the Nef Jersey Communist Party has a complete congressional ticket. Dozier W. G. Wragh, of Newark, is the candidate for election to the United States Senate creating the millionaire Dwight W. Morrow. Graham runs on a platform that introduces equality for the entire working class and an unemployed insurance bill. The Negro and white workers of this state are rallying to support their worker candidate. Relief for the unemployed, strike for better wages, shorter working hours, and the elimination of the speed-up have a tremendous influence among the exploited. Whetes Object To Intermingling In Pool Rooms Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 23. (By ANP) An ordinance providing that Negroes and whites must be seperated by a distinct floor, was passed here by the city council Wednesday. The ordinance was introduced by Councilman Elkin, who declared that the bill had the approval of at least 94 per cent of the citizens of both races, but did not substantiate his statement by evidence. After the first reading of the bill it was passed unanimously. Councilman Elkin stated that he had been inspired to present the bill by a growing condition of Negroes and whites mingling in Negro pool rooms. Citizens in these districts in the city were locked had complained about this inter-mingling of theracial groups and had urged him to take steps to stop it. Several rai's for vagrants loitering in the Negro pool rooms have resulted in the ar est of many whites men who were found frequenting the places and engaging in games with their colored fellow-citizens. This proved embarrassing to the whites who operated business places in the same section and police were urged to keep whites out of Negro places. There was no need to pass the law to keep Negroes out of the places operated for whites as they were never permitted to enter, except by the rear door and then on business. Despite the statement of Councilman Elkin, the growth of Jim-Crowism in this city, which boasts of several colleges and one medical college, has met with the disaproval of many colored citizens.

New York, Sept. 19.—That there is political dynamite in Senator Nye's investigation of Senatorial primary elections, is the conclusion of Mark Sullivan, Washington correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune, who bases his belief upon the prospect that the exclusion of Negroes from voting privileges in the South may enter the field of inquiry. "Whether Senator Nye's investigations of Senatorial primaries will extend into Southern states is one of the most explosive questions of the campaign," writes Mr. Sullivan in the Herald-Tribune of September 17. "In it intense interest is taken by a group not mainly Republicans, but rather to be described as Progressives and Radicals in Washington, New York and elsewhere. What this group has in mind is to use the Nye approach, not accurately, non-participation—in Democratic primaries in the South. That issue, carried to the end to which some persons want to carry it, would question the right of at least ten Democratic Senators to their seats." Mr. Sullivan quotes the scope of the investigation ordered by the Senate as being, besides the examination into improper expenditures, to cover "the use of any other means or influence which would not only be of public interest, but which would aid the Senate in deciding any contest involving the right to a seat in the United States Senate." He adds: "That language means," as respects Southern Democratic primaries, the participation or non-participation of Negro voters." The immediate dynamite in the situation Mr. Sullivan discusses as follows: "The matter is acute just now, for two reasons. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has grown confident because of its successful part in preventing the confirmation of an appointee to the Supreme Court, Judge John J. Parker, of North Carolina, who was charged with publicly taking a position adverse to Negro participation in politics. "In the second place Negro voters have just won a decisive advantage in the Federal courts. A United States Circuit Court has declared unconstitutional a condition of the Democratic primary system in Virginia which excludes Negroes. Apparently the Virginia Democratic officials concerned did no tears this week they have permitted the time limit for an annual to expire, and the decision stands. "The net of the situation is that there are energetic persons who are determined to use the Nye committee as a stp toward a large end. The purpose is to have the Senate debate and pass upon the question whether a Southern Democratic Senator is entitled to his seat if he won it in a primary in which Negro voters were deprived of participation. The persons having this determination are Radicals or Progressives primarily, rather than Republicans, and Republicanism is not their motive, although the Republicans presumably would benefit. Any one familiar with American history since the Civil War knows this is a decidedly explosive situation." The Virginia primary case referred to by Mr. Sullivan was supervised and financed in part by the N. A. A. C. P. EXMORE, VIRGINIA. Exmore, Va., Sept. 22.—(By Amos C. Clark.)—One of the most prosperous merchants in the State of Virginia is Mr. James Harmon, of this place. It is a great source of inspiration to any one to observe the substantial line of general merchandise carried by this merchant. His winnows personality and straight forward way of dealing with his customers will elicit the admiration of all who meet him. His stock is full and complete. One's needs can be supplied from a needle to a collar. It fact he does not name diction line which he does not carry. He is setting a very fine example for our merchants all over the country. He has built up a wonderful clientele that is giving him exceptionally fine support. The crying need of today is more Jim Harmons. Rev. S. S. Arnold, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, delivered a wonderful message yesterday to his congregation. He sought to prepare his flock for the great work that that day was planned for Sunday in October. His sermon was full of practical and helpful thought and was highly enjoyed by all.

New York, Sept. 19.—Frank Murphy, judge of the Sept. Court in Detroit at the time of the Sweet case, who resigned from the bench in order to become the successful candidate for mayor, has written a letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People expressing his thanks for the loyal support given him by colored voters. At the time Judge Murphy announced his candidacy, Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who handled the Sweet trials in Detroit for the N. A. A. C. P., wrote a letter commending the spirit of fairness prevalent in Judge Murphy's courta and saving in part: "I am certain that you will have the united support of the colored citizens of Detroit. I know if I were a resident in the city you could certainly count on one ballot. "When I came to Detroitin 1525 at the time of the attack upon the home of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, the situation was such as to be most discouraging, so far as obtaining an impartial trial for Dr. Sweet and his ten co-defendants was concerned. Those fears were dispelled only when we found in your court a most extraordinary degree of even-handed justice, an experience which unfortunately the Negro defendant could duplicate in few courts of law, North or South. I am certain that you as Mayor will hold to those high principles of justice and fair play to all men, regardless of race, creed or color, which I saw exemplified in the famous Sweet case." In his letter of thanks on the primary election, Judge Murphy writes: "Everything came out all right. Your people were as faithful and true as any group could be. They went right out on the firing line for me and stood by me almost to a man." MRS. BETHUNE LISTED AMONG 50 LEADING MEN OF COUNTRY. New York, Sept. 19.—In a list of fifty leading women of the United States, selected by Ida Tarbell from among business women, educators, scientists and the field of the arts, and published in the Evening World of September 11, one of the names included is that of a leading colored educator, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. Miss Tarbell, who made the list, is well known for her expose of the Standard Oil Corporation in a history she wrote of that corporation. In selecting her list, Miss Tarbell said she used a "three-fold measuring rod: Ability (1) to initiate or create, (2) to lead or inspire, (3) to carry on." In naming Mrs. Bethune among the fifty outstanding women, Miss Tarbell wrote: "Mary McLeod Bethune. Born of Negro parents, slaves. Founder in 100 of Bethune-Cookman Institute Fla., now enrolling some 250 students. Established a home for delinquent Negro girls at Ocala, Fla. Active in all forms of social educational and moral betterment. A woman to be proud of." Y. M. C. A.

Dr. Williams Denies Silencing Junior Choir Reported rumors spreading throughout Richmond that the Junior Choir of Fourth Baptist Church had been silenced following a disagreement between its leader, Mr. Mitchell Bellery and its Pastor Rev. F. W. W. Williams was denied by Dr. Williams. The failure of the Junior Choir to appear last Sunday was due to the fact that it had not received approval of the Church or its Pastor. Rev. Williams asserted that this body of young people did form a choir, and had appeared a number of times in the church as the Fourth Baptist Church Junior Choir, and were awaiting the approval of the Church. Lately they have attempted to ride ship shot over his head and the authority of the church, appearing in public for the name of the Choir of Fourth Baptist Church, or his knowledge, or the officials. Dr. Williams did not believe this was done intentionally but rather through thoughtlessness on the part of the choir and its leader. He expressed himself as being in sympathy with the Junior Choir, and desiring such a choir if it is the wish of the church and its officers. On being asked if he had any statement to make concerning Mr. Mitchell Beverly's attitude toward him, Dr. Williams replied that he did not wish to speak through the press anything concerning Mr. Beverly. He felt capable of handling the situation without any outside influence. A few days ago following a church meeting Mr. Beverly attempted to discuss certain matters that came up in the meeting with Dr. Williams. He accused the pastor of not allowing him to express himself in the meeting. Rev. Williams refused to listen, telling the Choir leader that he did not intend to discuss the matter. Mr. Beverly then marked the place where the pastor had played him a dirty trick. The pastor, being at all pleased, turned around to see who had called him dirty, and it is averred that the officers had to show Mr. Beverly the door to prevent a fistfight. The following Sunday Rev. Williams had every officer present at the scene to stand up, asking each one separately did he or did he not attempt to strike anyone. Each officer stated before the Church that the pastor did not attempt to strike anyone. Dr. Williams has been pastoring for over thirty years, having served in five churches, and not once has his resignation been accepted by any church he pastored. He came to the Fourth Baptist Church he filled the pulpit self-evident by the death of Evelyn Payne who was one of the greatest divines in this country, two years ago from Pittsburgh, Pa., where he was pastoring the Rodman Street Baptist Church, one of the largest in that city. Mr. J. Mitchell Beverly, leader of the Junior Choir of Fourth Baptist Church, Wednesday, made the following statement to the Planet: "Appearing in the Planet under date of Saturday, September 20th, is an article the caption of which is "Pastor Silences Junior Choir in Church Controversy," as this article is credited to proponents of Mitchell Beverly. I wish you would say to your readers that I have had no conversation with you directly or indirectly concerning the church affair which I consider purely a church matter. I am not interested in the source of your information but wish to say that I have not asked anyone to serve as spokesman for me. The article as published by you does not do justice to either side. J. Mitchell Beverly will make his own personal statement at the proper time and place and not through the Richmond Planet." (Signed) J. Mitchell Beverly. MURDERER GRANTED STAY OF EXECUTION Austin, Tex., Sept.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—At the request of the Rev. C. W. Wilson, chapain at Huntsville State Prison, Gov.

SNOWDEN: “Pardon me, Ampie—meet my wife, Mrs. Pauline T. Snowden.” AMPLIFIER: “I'm delighted to meet you, Mrs. Snowden; exeuse for not rising.” MRS. SNOWDEN: “The pleasure is mine also, Mister Amplicitor. Why they say that you are some enter- tainer.” AMPLIFIER: “Yes, and they say that you are some exaggerator. Te- hee.” MR. SNOWDEN: “Ampie, ‘U-R really entertaining. We admire the wonderful way you tell about the services, held at various churches ‘Yea, you have a disposition to con- sole those who are sad and despon- dent. The people of Richmond, espe- cially the church-going class, should feel as proud of you as America is of George Washington, a8 France i of Napoleon Bonaparte, as Italy is of Christopher Columbus, and as England is of Alfred the Great.” AMPLIFIER: “Now, Sister Snow- den, can you tell me why your hus. band put on his magnifying glasses when he thought to take a at me! Why, he makes me feel. a small as the eye of a flea, when he mentions me with great historical characters. I wish you (Snowden) had seen me thru your linear per- spective. A-hem.” BRO. SNOWDEN: “-hi, chi; Am- pie, you make me laugh.’ So much for that—now, let's hear what, you have to say about the SERVICES at SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH, Byrd Street, between First and Second Streets, Sunday, September 21, 1930. We are listening.” AMPLIFIER: “Well, the Sunday School assembled at the usual hour. ‘The lesson was wonderful. Large number was present. Visitors and friends were numerous. Bro. M. B. Jones, the active, competent and wide-t-wake Superintendent, was, o duty as usual. The S. S. 0.'furnisht thrilling music. Second Baptist has one of the best, or rather the best, Sunday Schools in the Sta‘e of Vir- ginia, Their motto is: ‘All the Chureh in Sunday School, and All the Sunday School in the Church.’ The pastor, Rev. Dr. Jos. T, Hill, was with them in Sunday School also.” SISTER SNOWDEN: “We would like to hear about the regular SERV- ICE next.” AMPLIFIER: “At 11:30, right on time, the pastor, Dr. Hill, ‘ascended his rostrum. At the same time the choir took their places. Mr. Charles Bland, the organist, ably presided. The pastor prayed the opening pray- er; it was fervent and full of ear. nestness.”” es BRO. SNOWDEN: “Why, it seems as tho he (Rev. Hill) always offers the morning-opening prayer. We wonder why?” AMPLIFIER: “Yes, he always prays the opening prayer. ‘The pas. tor feels that it is his duty to pray, plead and meditate to God for the people, who assemble at the Church to receive His word and blessings from on high, especially those who are less fortunate; yea, those who are unemployed, those who mix sand and Time, beat clay and mud, wash pots and pans, serub floors, wash and iron, cook, clean, toil daily in the hot laundries, ‘tobacco mills, and so on— all those who have to toil hard for meager living; the pastor, Dr. Hill trusts and asks no one to offer the ‘opening prayer; he himself prays this special prayer, asking God) t, bles the flock; in fact, the people all over the country. Truly there is power in prayer, Esther intereeded for het race, she herself could do very little but she caused the King to reflect and save her people. Of course, Rev. Dr. Hill, the pastor, is not in a crisis like that in which Esther found her- self, but he’s certainly in a place to pray for his people. Yes, he prays arduously for his people.” BRO. SNOWDEN: “I-C, that’s al- right. now tell us about ‘the Serip- ture “Lesson.” AMPLIFIER: “The pastor read the 19th chapter of Revelations reading from the Lith to the 16th verse, The ‘audience paid strict attention to this reading. I guess about fifteen min- utes were spent in spiritual singing which all present seemed to have e:. joyed.” BRO. SNOWDEN: “I wish I had heard that singing. It is reported that they have an excellent choir. TH go far to hear good spiritual singing. Continue.” SISTER SNOWDEN: “My hubby is not alone, I'll go far myself to hear good spiritual singing. And. J am going to SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH next Sunday where T can hear their choir sing. Don’t let, us drift too far from the subject. Pro- ceed.” AMPLIFIER: “Bro W. S.

Please get your Bible and read it; it will be helpful to you. His subject was: “The Name Higher Over All’ BRO. SNOWDEN: “That subject and text certainly sound interest ing to me. Not every minister preaches from the Book of Revela tions. We are listening.” AMPLIFIER: “Pastor Hill handled the text and subject with thought and ability. Tt was a masterpiece ic was logical, spiritual, uplifting ‘magnetic, convincing, reviving and ‘instructive. His delivery was elo jquent, dramatic, powerful and wel |prepated.

I thas been unanimously voted by all Gotham critics as “one of the year’s ten best plays” in the annual Selection by Manhattan reviewers. Recently it was awarded the Magru prize as being ‘the play that pro- vided the greatest entertainment val- uue of any attraction during the year.” The play, incidentally, is the first to be sent out under the new- ment in ly Brlanger management in New York. ‘A Southern tour has been arrang- ed to determine whether or not audi- ences are eager for road attratcions, and “Strictly Dishonorable” was se- ected as a fair test because of its tremendous vogue wherever it has been given. The story characterizes the phil- anderings of a bachelor opera singer with an innocent, but love curious maid of a provincial Mississippi town after she has deserted her home town with a visiting New Yorker and has squabbled with him over the pros pee of having to live in New Jersey. ‘All ends well, for the opera singer turns ou tto be a real man in the end. ‘The play is to be given here by a specially selected cast, chosen and directed in New York by Brock Pem- berton, the producer and his co-di rector, Antoinette Perry.

It deals with a boy who stole a first kiss, then was drawn into the maelstrom of life; a cafe owner and political boss who uses his power for selfish gain; with Wall Stroet money yrabber who forgot about everything else in his fight for wealth; it deals with a preacher who lost his own soul trying to save others; and a fifth character, a human derelict, homeless, harmless, always ready to give his last dime for a drink. Five colorful, powerful charac- ters. In “The Way of All Men” you will see their stories woven into the strongest drama that has ever been presented on the screen. Tt is a story that challenges all humanity. A story that will open the eyes of every man and woman who sees it. And a story that will give the younger gen- eration as great a lesson as life itself. All because it is human drama in its strongest form— and one of the strangest, stories ever told, A story of what happens when fear turns hate into under- standing—when passionate emo- tions turn to love. When these five entirely differ- ent types of people—representa- tive of the mass of humanity— ‘come in contact with a girl's great faith in the one who loves—there is bound to be drama of the inter- ‘esting kind, When they are all confronted with inevitable death in the great Mississippi flood, we find what these characters "are really made of. To attempt to guess the outcome is to find you are all wrong when you see this powerful story. And for us to di- vulge the outcome would deprive you of the greatest thrill in all your picture-going experience. The climax is so surprising that we suggest you keep the story @ secret after seeing it. Let the cthers be stirred by this emo- tional document the same ®s you will be. s “The way of all Men” is easily the outstanding drama of the mo- vie season and has one of | the greatest casts ever assembled in ‘one picture.

B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago. Advertising Representatives WILL AN The Devastation o Intelligent Tribes Man Has Proba One of His Great The Devastation of Vicious But Very Intelligent Tribes of Ants, Show That Man Has Probably Underestimated One of His Greatest Enemies. By DON CHARLES Correspondent and Special Writer The ant nations of the world have no peace tr league, no disarmament conferences. They are for Mars, the great red god of war. The ant nations of the world have no peace treaties, no league, no disarmament conferences. They are followers of Mars, the great red god of war. Ant wars have been in progress in the zoological gardens of the nations—in England, in New York, in Washington and elsewhere. Ant wars are raging in Africa, in South America, in fact wherever rival ant nations or tribes meet, war is declared and then it is a battle to the finish, with no quarter asked or given. H. G. Wells has foreshadowed a bridge and penetrated into the new nest. He never came back. That meant war, the old ants decided. They probably believed that they should protect their nationals. But they did not lose their heads and dash pell-mell across the bridge, only to be swallowed up by a possible Two ants disputing over a morsel of start over just su M. W. W. Two ants disputing over a morsel of food. Ant wars have been noted to start over just such arguments. sisten possibility—the evolution of the warrior ant to tiger-size. Imagine, if possible, the havoc of great armies of such giant creatures, marching a million strong, to battle for the supremacy. Fighting would be so fierce that rather than release a domestic creature such as a horse or a cow upon whom they chanced, they would allow their heads to be cut off! The tiny ant is most like the human in living conditions. Ants have their cities, their various social orders, their rulers. For this reason the ants' habits have engaged the attention of scientists who are studying them. Some time ago, the officials of the London Zoo staged an ant battle in their study of ant behavior. The Th: keepers turned a thousand or more loose, permitted them to attack one another, and before the melee was over several hundred had been killed and large numbers badly wounded. Excited spectators viewed the fight. The most remarkable thing about the whole battle was the way the opposing armies planned their campaigns and conducted their attacks. It was a demonstration that the ant can use his brains in the heat of battle, as well as in the calmer days of peace. It all started on a bright Monday morning, when one of the keepers of the zoo placed a little wooden chip over the moat that separated two ant nations—an old one that had been there for three years, and a new one just arrived. The chip served as a bridge, and for the first time made possible communication between the two colonies. A member of the old colony became curious. He sneaked across the "A BITT The Richmond Planet bridge and penetrated into the new nest. He never came back. That meant war, the old ants decided. They probably believed that they should protect their nationals. But they did not lose their heads and dash pell-mell across the bridge, only to be swallowed up by a possible food. Ant wars have been noted to much arguments. ambush. Instead, they chose ten of their best scouts and sent them out to reconnoiter. These daring ants crawled across the bridge and into the enemy's territory. They found nothing. All the new ants were hidden away, awaiting the advance of the enemy. The scouts went back to the generals and reported. The zoo keepers and scientists watched closely every move. They noted that a council of war followed the report. In a few minutes, there issued from the old nest an imposing array of warriors, marching in ranks as orderly as any crack regiment of infantry. Along beside the column went other ants which threw up earthworks in case attacks might come from such quarters. Then the ANTS The ants are careful to give the best of attention to the eggs and each day they are taken to a warm spot above ground.

There was no let up for four days and four nights. No quarter was asked and none given. They fought in small groups, biting and tearing. Warriors were dismembered. Quivering bodies lay legless and headless. So hot waged the battle that only a few of the wounded were dragged aside into temporary safety. Then an armistice must have been arranged, but it lasted only a few hours. Evidently the terms were broken, for the battle was resumed, and more wounded lay quivering or floating helplessly in the water beneath the bridge. With their big mandibles the warriors slashed at one another. They tossed the weaker ones into the moat; or failing this, cut off The ant using the aphis for a cow. obtain a milk for their young. This is them opponents' limbs and left them helpless. By Thursday afternoon the invaders from the old colony had been driven back across the bridge with great losses; in fact they had been practically annihilated. Their rout was complete. The victors took some for slaves, after killing all that they desired. The worker ants were called out and cleared the dead from the field, and peace reigned. Scientists say that mankind will one day have to contest the rulership of the world with insects and among all the insects the ants have shown the highest capacity for leadership and the greatest intelligence. If, as H. G. Wells has predicted, ants grow to enormous size, becoming as --- Clean Fiction Human Interest Features large as tigers or even as cats and dogs, man would find difficult to live upon the earth. In Africa where the ant is very much at home, ants create the greatest havoc among humans because of their fighting instincts and their tenacity of purpose. Dr. Hans Coudenhove, a scientist of note, who has studied the warrior ants in Africa, says that all native life flees before the approach of these ant armies. He tells of sitting in front of his tent or on the porch of his house on an afternoon and noticing that suddenly the harmless brown ants are fleeing in disorderly manner, clutching their pupae or babies, just as peasant women have fled upon the approach of foreign armies in European wars. This might mean nothing to a newcomer, but to the experienced Af- rican, it means trouble. "He will rise, in haste, call his servants, and say to them: "Siafu are approaching; look about everywhere and stop them if you can!" Dr. Coudenhove says that the servants need not be told twice. "They start running, and search the surroundings of the tent or house in extending circles, until one of them will sing out: "There they are!" Then there will be jumps, kicks, and clappings of the palms of the hands on the feet, legs and calves. This is because they have suddenly come in contact with the advance guard of the enemy's column. "Siafu" is the name that the Swahili tribe has given to the warrior ants, the type of ants that are ready to fight at any time the world over, whether in the zoos of London, New York, Washington, or the plains of Africa. These warrior ants will attack anything alive that they may meet in the course of their advance. They have disproportionately large heads and mandibles and they are bloodthirsty, and while the wound is not poisonous it is none the less dangerous. "Caged birds and animals have been killed," Dr. Coudenhove says, "if not rescued in time." "I remember a case in which they killed, during the night a caged wildcat! I have known them to kill pigs in their sties, by crawling into their brains through the snout.

American jewelers are considering the establishment of manufacturing shops for the making of odd and strange ornaments for fashionable ladies out of some of Nature's ugliest creatures—the beetles.

If the permission of the entomologists of the United States Depart will be given to the bug hunters of this land. France has long had a monopoly on this odd sort of jewelry business. Near Paris there are several establishments where skilled artisans take beetles of the ugliest varieties and turn them into brooches, earrings, pins, necklaces and many other articles of adornment. When the insects arrive at the jewelry makers' workshops they are sorted by specialists who put the creatures of each species into separate boxes which are then sent to the mounting studios, where highly skilled workers take the insects apart. Some families, have for generations, followed this peculiar trade. Delicate instruments are used to remove the tiny heads from the bodies, which are thoroughly cleaned inside and out. All internal organs are taken out and are replaced by a substance that is solid, which keeps the beetles in their natural shape. When the beetle has been dissected, cleaned and treated by a secret process that hardens it and preserves its form and color, it goes to another room of the workshop where it is mounted on a gold and silver brooch, a stickpin or a pendant. American jewelers point out that such beetles as the stag beetle adapt themselves to this strange mounting and preserving. Its shiny jet blackness would prove effective against many types of gowns, and even the sore aching wrist?

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 27, 1930 Still in the Limelight Still in the Limelight THE FASHION WEEKLY Adelaide Hall, who some seasons ago broke into fame through her clever and talented stage performances, is now the star of "Brown Beauties." Ringing the Doorbell It is quite easy for even a school boy to compute that the women of America walk almost fifteen million miles in a year in order to answer the doorbell for agents of electric washers, brushes, vacuum cleaners and similar articles. If the vendors of shoe laces, court plaster and needles, and the beggars, pure and simple (more simple than pure) were added to the door-bell pullers, American women would probably have to add a few million miles to this total. Of course everyone has to make a living. Naturally we pity the poor men who have to go from door to door selling something they want to get rid of, and we so seldom want. But surely we should be paid for that fifteen-million mile walk. Over in Holland they have arranged a little coin-in-the slot contrivance men might be induced to wear them as necktie holders. The stag beetle might prove to be a valuable crop for young men working their way through college, it is pointed out, and for those who are not frightened by its ferocious appearance. It is possible that the stag beetle and others might be grown in captivity on beetle farms. Some scientists have pointed out that this type of beetle may have grown to enormous sizes in other and earlier days. If such is the case, it was probably no more friendly than it is today. Even now the stag beetle has a good appetite and will devour all sorts of things from rotting trees to locusts. It cares not a bit whether the locust is dead or alive or as dry as a chip. The stag beetle has great mandibles, or pinchers, that once fastened to any creature just about means death. If at one time, as some scientists say, this type of insect grew to enormous size, it would have been unfortunate to have come in contact with him. With a set of mandibles in proportion and an appetite such as he now has, he would be able to snip a man's leg or arm as if it were UseNadineFacePowder,newCoral-Roseshade,forrich,light-toned beauty,50c...

Bleaching Cream WHITE LAUGHTER Hot Shot Quickly Finds His Place on the Barre Plantation; But What About Carl? Sentiment and Socks An Astonishingly True Story About the Master Boxer of all Times-Joe Gans- By JAMES A. GARNER In putting this little incident before the world I expect to be harshly criticised. If any one else had written it and I had read it I would have said the writer was wearing blinders and even with them was not seeing straight. In this day of gold grabbing the story seems improbable, but after much investigation and observation, I am now free to believe it is true in spite of what my friends may say of my gullibility. It is strange and unusual but as far as I can learn, it is true. INSTALLMENT FOUR Hotshot and Gene wrangled good-naturedly. "Yeah. Wait till te Kunnel see you in action and he fires you so fas' it meks yo' haid swim!" Gene said bitingly. Hotshot laughed. He enjoyed baiting Gene. "Go long, boy," he advised. "Yore mouf ain't no Bible!" A man came up and told Gene that his employer wanted to see him. Gene bade his friends wait for him, and hastily departed for the barn. In a few minutes he had returned. "De Kunnel," he announced importantly to Carl, "say dat you and dis yere runt stay in de little cabin up here nigh de big house ." he began. "You callin' me a runt?" Hotshot inquired with apparent idleness as he picked up an ax handle and weighed it appraisingly. Gene retreated precipitantly. "Don't pay Hotshot any attention," Cari called to him. "Tell us what the Colonel said." Gene returned slowly, casting apprehensive eyes at Hotshot. The latter looked at him in well feigned surprise, hiding the twinkle in his eyes as he asked, "Did you think I was gonna pop you with this yere ax handle? Why, boy, don' you know I wouldn't do that? No, sir! I wanted to hurt you I'd get me a wagon-tongue, 'cause nothin' else would be big enough to bust yo' hard haid!" "De Kunnel say," continued Gene, "that you all kin eat up yere in de kitchen, cept'n yo lunch which you teks to de fiel' wif you." "Hey-hey!" Hotshot cried joyously, dancing a jig. "I ain't heerd sich good news since I caught me three hunerd bucks in policy!" "He mus' a took a shine to you all," Gene told them wonderingly, "'case de res' of de hans cooks they own food, and they all lives in de shacks down by de fiels. De Kunnel say he want you, Carl, 'tbe handy 'cause you gonna write in de cotton book." "Looks like we're getting a break," Carl laughed. "Boy, hush yo' mouf!" Hotshot chortled.

The cabin which the Colonel had assigned them was only a few hundred yards from what Gene and Hot- Sentiment In putting this little incio to be harshly criticised. If an I had read it I would have s blinders and even with them w In this day of gold grabbi but after much investigation a to believe it is true in spite of my gullibility. It is strange a learn, it is true. The master boxer, Joe Gans, had finished his work at Twin Oaks and had gone to Baltimore before beginning that tiresome trip across the country when he was to fight his memorable battle with Nelson. The Negro champion, as he talked with his friends, paid no attention to the thin little brown skinned lad who, at mention of the name of Joe Gans, had left his play fellows to follow this man. Nor would Gans ever have noticed him had not the little fellow deliberately placed himself in front of the old master and extended his hand in the same manner that the champion's admirers had done. "Hello, Joe!" said the lad after summoning all of his courage to form the words with which to address a champion. "Gonna win?" ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—September 27, 1930 Carl, a senior at the University of Chicago, reads in the paper that the small Mississippi town in which his parents live has been swept away by the flood. He goes at once to the town only to find that his parents have been drowned. He attempts to return North, but is caught by the flood and is forced to remain in a refugee camp on the river banks where he labors with a gang helping to rebuild the levee. The gang boss threatens him, and despite the advice of Hotshot, also a flood refugee, Carl finally attacks the boss. 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. Just then Hotshot speaks from the other side of the tree. Carl is relieved to see his friend, and the latter explains how he frustrated the aim of the gang boss. Carl tells him he has saved his life. and the latter explains how he frustrated the aim of the gang boss. They desert the tree and make their way through the woods, arriving at a cabin occupied by a colored family, where they are fed. The son, Gene, takes them in his truck through the swamp to Colonel Barre's plantation, where they can secure work. Barre's plantation, where they can secure work. Through the murky night the three men bump and lurch over the rough road through the swamp. Carl tells himself that as soon as he has earned enough money by working on the plantation he will return North, and plans to write to his friend, Anton Bigal, the banker, concerning his plight. Bigal was his father's friend, and has always shown interest in Carl. Gene tells Carl about Colonel Barre and his plantation, and when they arrive and have breakfast, the Colonel, learning that Carl has a good education, makes him his cotton-weigher, and hires Hotshot as cotton picker. 1 "A large ring of ashes indicated that a huge fire had blazed there recently . . ." shot referred to knowingly as the "big house." The other cabins, built of logs, with grass roofs, were relics of the days when the great Barre plantation had swarmed with slaves. It had been the slave section, and now it served as the workers' quarters. These cabins were scattered out haphazardly through the heavy woods near the big cotton field, and they were all occupied by itinerant cotton pickers who came to harvest the crop. t and Soc I went before the world I expect my one else had written it and said the writer was wearing was not seeing straight.

In fact, he was surprised 10r, while many a boy had spoken to him, none before had shown the courage of the lad confronting him. "I'll do my best, sonny. Now, what is your name?" Gans winked mischievously at his friends. "Oh, me! Don't you know? I'm Johnnie Larkins what rides on the grocery team." From the manner in which Johnnie's chest expanded as he spoke he, too, had a reputation of which he was proud. "Well, Johnnie, now do you think the fight will come out?"

On the way to the fields from the cabins the men passed through a large cleared circle set deep in the woods. In the center a few embers glowed, and a large ring of ashes indicated that a huge fire had blazed there very recently. Two rough plank ks—An Astonish Boxer of all to his own boy being in this lad's place. "There ain't nobody can beat a champion; and you are the champion, and you are going to win." The little brown hued lad expressed his hopes and his beliefs in those words. "So you think I will win? How much will you bet that I win?" Gans seemed to enjoy this new experience; it was so different and more sincere than his talks with men. Besides, his long grind at training had made him welcome this little play with a boy. "I betcha a nickel," quickly replied the boy and he dug down into his pocket and brought four pennies out in his little hand He counted them and renewed his effort to find money, but the strictest search only brought to light marbles, nails, chalk, candy, bits of pencils and a raft of other things, but not the needed penny. At last he held the four pennies toward Gans and said with no abated amount of enthusiasm: "I musta lost the other one; but I bet these four any how." Gans looked at his two men companions and said: "Here's a big --- Welt-Known Fiction Writer and Author of "THE DARK KNIGHT" tables were near the fire, and the grass around them was worn thin. "Whut's dis yere place?" Hotshot asked. Gene grinned. "If you stays yere you finds out!" he answered significantly. "Dey calls dis de scronchin' groun's!" "Shut my mouf!" Hotshot ejaculated. "What's a scronchin' ground?" Carl wanted to know. ingly True Story Times—Joe Gans chance for you, boys. Little Johnnie here wants to bet all four cents that I'll win. Who wants it?" Appreciating the little play, one of the men produced a nickel and bet against the boy. Little Johnnie was jubilant now that his money was bet on the champion. "All right, little fellow, here is a dime to spend all for yourself. Now, trot along like a good boy." And little John Larkins skipped off down the street, leaving Gans gazing after him with more feeling than the champion had known he was capable of. What happened out in the West is recorded in ring history as a championship of the world changing hands in the seventeenth round when a disabled Negro, after pounding to ribbons the man who kept boring in with lowering head and flying arms, had not strength to pull himself to his feet. The records say that Nelson won ever Gans in the seventeenth. Gene and Hotshot cackled boistrously. "Listen at ole Carl puttin' on." Gene chuckled. "Tending like he ain't never heerd a' no scronch." "Really I haven't," Carl protested. "Tell me what you birds are laughing about." "Well, scronchin' is a dance," Gene explained. "It's like walkin' th' dawg—steppin' on th' puppies tail," Hotshot enlightened. Carl still was puzzled. "That's all Greek to me." he sighed. "Greek nothin'," Gene snorted. "Tha's everyday American.

What I mean I'm tight!" "You talks," Gene snorted, "but does you mean anything?" "Let's get going," Carl interrupted. "I've got to get wise to this cotton weighing before all the pickers get out there." They Meet the Folks In the field a group stood around the high-boarded cotton wagon from which a team of horses was being unhitched. The workers laughed and joked with each other with great gusto as they girded on the long sacks in which they would stuff the cotton as they worked down the rows. Carl's eyes drifted out over the snowy field, stretching in long, high-growing rows almost as far as he could see. "Is all this Colonel Barre's cotton?" he asked Gene, who stood talking with a young girl. "Tain't nobody else's!" the boy replied smartly. In his tone there was a pride which indicated that the field might have belonged to him personally. Carl smiled. Evidently, in answer to a question propounded by his girl friend, Gene explained loudly, and with apparent Continued on Page Four There is a story that the records do not tell and cannot, for those cold authorities did not know of the little brown boy who watched the bulletin board and cheered until Gans was counted out. They do not know how hard it was for that boy to make himself know that a champion had been defeated. Nor do they know that during the last part of the fight as Gans, realizing that he must win before his strength was gone, made his supreme effort separate Nelson's thoughts from his actions, that the old master had visions of a boy who had bet his last penny because he believed a champion could not be beaten. It was the thoughts of this boy in particular and others in general who had bet their money on him that made the champion remain until every bit of strength had ebbed. Gans thought how willingly and enthusiastically Johnnie had gambled on him. As the champion felt the first pain of his dreaded disease shoot through his lungs, he recalled that Continued on Page Eight WHITE LAUGHTER FREE!

There was laughter from the crowd at the idea of the little brown man's picking four hundred pounds of cotton a day. "You an' who else?" a large, plump brown woman asked pertly. Hotshot eyed her for an instant, and seeing no man standing near her, grinned engagingly. "Well, sweet stuff," he said, "I reckon you mought he'p a po' little runt like I." Quick laughter swept the group. The woman put her hands on her hips. "I mought he'p you get out'n my way," she said with a severity that was belied by a smile hovering at the corners of her mouth.

In company with the big woman, Carl's little friend went into the fields making big talk, while the other pickers straggled along behind listening appreciatively. Carl gazed a little longingly after him, and wished that he, too, could so easily mix with these simple tollers. After instructing him regarding the use of the scales, which swung from a tall tripod by the wagon, Gene returned to the big house, leaving Carl in the field. It was about seven thirty, and the warmth of the early sun was grateful. In a few minutes two girls with half filled sacks emerged from the field. One of them, well built, clear brown, and openly approving of their new weigher, greeted him familiarly. "Hello, Carl," she said. "How you this mawnin', honey?" Carl was a little astonished at the freedom of the unknown girl's address. "Why—why, I'm fine, thank you," he managed. "How much cotton I got in my sack, Carl?" the other girl, who was shorter and plumper, chimed in. Carl weighed the girl's sack and announced, "You've forty pounds, miss." "My name ain' Miss," the plump girl said roguishly. "It's Melissy—Lissy for short—to you." "Don' pay her no min'," the taller girl bade him. "She ain' nothin' but a flirt, tha's all. Now me—." "Elmira! You stop sayin' such about me!" Lissy cried. Carl was weighing Elmira's cotton, and sensing that the two girls were not really serious, he merely smiled and said nothing. Seeing that their efforts to draw him out had failed, the girls went laggingly back to their work, casting glances, which were a mixture of shyness and boldness, back over their shoulders. One after the other the various pickers dragged their sacks up to the scales to be weighed. Carl went about his work quickly and quietly, and feeling inadequate to the sallies with which his new friends greeted him, merely smiled and said little. Hotshot was fulfilling his prophecy that he could pick much cotton by dragging up two seventy-pound sacks by ten o'clock, and by noon he had fifty pounds more, making a total hundred and ninety pounds. Apparently his cotton picking prowess had caused the large Sally to admire him, for she came in with him each time he weighed, bringing her own filled sack. "Eny man whut c'n pick mo' cottin'n me is my kind a man!" she told her friends at noon. "Specially a little man!" "An' eny woman whut c'n almost keep up wif me is my kind a woman!" Hotshot returned gallantly, with a sly wink in Carl's direction. Then in one of his stage whispers he asked Sally, "Say, c'n you cook like you picks cotton?" "I oughta run you in de river," the big woman replied with well simulated indignation, "askin' me kin I cook! Why, eff'n you ever sets yo' teeth in some of my sweet 'taters and fried meat you ain' never wants to eat nobody else's vittles!" The fact that the pickers sang, seemingly oblivious of the intense heat, created in Carl a new admiration for them, a new tolerance for what seemed to him to be their lack of ambition. They sang, they worked, they found pleasure in simple things. Could he say as much for his fine friends in far off Chicago?

(Sole Licensee) "When that gonna be?" the little man inquired with vociferous eagerness, much to the amusement of the others. "Don' be so fas!" Sally told him coolly. "Maybe never." But there was that in her manner which indicated to the others that big Sally had found a new sweetie, and speculations were rife as to what would happen when Sally's sweetheart, Bud, returned from town where he had been for the past week. Carl sat a little off from the others, fully enjoying the rich humor which flowed around him in such plenitude. His quick eyes traveled from figure to figure, admiring the dark robust bodies, which in spite of their ragged clothes, seemed to possess an easy dignity that amazed him. Here, he told himself, was color and life; simple people living close to the soil, with no worries, and few ambitions to make them miserable. Then the thought came to him of his ambitions—of his purpose in life, and he immediately saw 'these dark peasants in a different light, and felt a little sorry that they would never know the higher, finer things which he had planned for himself. Their lives, circumscribed by their lack of opportunity, must of necessity be narrow. By now the sun, which had been merely pleasant in the earlier part of the day, burned with an intensity which created shimmering heat waves all over the field. Overhead the sky was a deep blue, with only a few clouds, their whiteness rivalling that of the cotton, to mar its vivid expanse. From the fields came a rich, high voice singing.

When he had finished, he wrote another letter to Antoinette. After explaining the events which led to his working on the plantation, he described the place and its tenants. He told her of his friend, Hotshot, and of Colonel Barre. In conclusion he wrote: "Of course I have been so downcast by the loss of my parents that all else has been driven from my mind.

Children HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Delicious tea-time refreshments can be made with a minimum of time and trouble by melting marshmallows, peanut brittle, nougat or caramels over hot water and adding to wafers. For instance: Saltine wafers may be spread with melted marshmallows topped with chopped nuts, and browned in the oven. Vanilla snaps may be put together as a sandwich with peanut brittle or caramels, softened to spread. Ginger snaps make a good combination with a sandwich filling of softened nougat, and many other variations can be worked out to suit a taste. The children will enjoy taking over this part of the meal preparation and feel that they are helping mother. By the way, many of the candies which are sold in small packages may be melted and used as a sauce for ice cream, or added to a simple foundation filling for cake. The flavor, the sweetening, the blending of ingredients, have all been attended to in advance, and thus save time in the home. This hint alone should be good for many a delicious and unusual dessert.

Frogs that Live in Trees THE WILDLIFE This is the tree frog that grows to maturity in the water which he forsakes to live among the leaves, being able to cling to them and there catch his meals in the form of insects. The tree frog is being adopted by those having indoor gardens because of his ability to cope with destructive flower pests. Nature sometimes mixes up her families in odd and strange ways, as for example, in the frogs who begin life in the water and end it among the leafy branches of the trees. This is true of the tree frogs. These little fellows seem to have no trouble at all in clinging to the leaves and branches of gnarled trees, living upon insects, rather than in the water as is the case with their relatives, the fishes. Tree frogs have always had a strange fascination, and florists and plant lovers have taken to keeping them in fern-cases, among potted plants, and in green houses where their appetites make them useful in keeping all manner of destructive insects under control. They are quiet little fellows and hard to find even when in captivity and doubly so when wild. They can climb up the most slippery tree trunk or the side of a glass dish, sticking there firmly and motionless, legs drawn close to the body, and their little stomachs flattened against the glass. But the tree frog does not entirely forsake the water. While climbing about among the leaves for insects, worms, and similar creatures, the little fellows always hunt out a shady pool in which to mate and raise a family. These go from the egg to tadpole stage in the water and then after turning into frogs again hunt a tree to climb. The tiny tree frogs, however, are closely related to the great bull-frogs. These giants may not climb trees but they travel about the land quite as independent of the water as a cat or a dog. In some parts of the world they have learned to climb up into branches as well. In Africa there are giant frogs able to withstand the hardest droughts, climbing tress, digging holes and forming strange alliances with spiders in order to exist. During long dry periods they are hard to find, but when rain comes they all seek the puddles, and where not one could be found by the sharpest eyed native, fifty will appear. The native Africans know them as "matlametlo," and prize them for their food. A government naturalist reported that "when cooked, they look like chickens, and form a good meal, so large do they grow." The matlametlo sometimes becomes pugnacious and will snap and resist being caught. The African bushmen told the sci- entist that these giants among frogs will not only climb trees during dry weather if there are any trees to be found in the vicinity, but will make holes among the roots of certain giant grasses. Spiders of large sizes, which species form some sort of an alliance with the matlametlo, take up their homes in the same holes, making a strong web across the mouth, thus offering a protection against snakes and other intruders. The giant frog does not molest the spider and the spider in no way bothers the frog; they live peaceably together. The great African bull-frog is large and handsome, greenish-brown with variegated mottlings of reddish-brown. The abdomen is yellow, mottled with orange and the chin is splashed with brown. Its eyes are very curious and really beautiful, being of a rich chestnut hue, covered with a profusion of little golden white dots which shine with a metallic lustre. The lower jaw is remarkable for two large, bony, tooth-like projections in front. The matlametlo grows to large size, having been found from six inches across to as large as eight inches. The bushmen told the government naturalist that the matlametlo will catch fish easily and have been known to even catch and devour small chickens and other creatures the size of ducklings.

Having written the letters, Carl sealed them in envelopes he had obtained from the supply house, and strolled slowly to the big house where the mail box was.

Soft wind, freighted with the strange, compelling odor of the swamp, stirred the foliage with gentle IS IT A SIN NOT TO Have you a puzzling love affair Write to Julia Jerome, care this news please send a stamped, self-address Julia Jerome Our letter this week is from the backwoods of Mississippi. My dears Mrs. Jerome: I am a young married woman with two children. We are very poor share-croppers and can scarcely hold body and soul together and yet my father-in-law, who is very religious, wishes us to keep on having children. He says it is a sin not to. But if I have another it will take me out of the fields for a year and I have already become delicate from the other two. I don't want to commit a sin but oh. Mrs. Jerome, I can't bear to think of bringing another sweet, innocent child into our life of starvation and toil! YOUNG MOTHER. My dear, your attitude is the right one. Your father-in-law, in the first place, is a man without any knowledge of what child-birth means. It is impossible for a man to understand a woman's agony of body and soul at such a time. Even in pleasant surroundings, with money enough for comforts, bearing children is hard. In the second place, he is out of tune with this age. When there was plenty of land, and an abundance of food for the taking, then perhaps birth control was unnecessary. But today it is different. What the country needs today is not quantities of ill-nourished, ignorant children, but good, strong, healthy, intelligent youngsters whose parents can send them through college to prepare them efficiently for the complex demands of modern life. Birth control has arisen because there is need for it. You are living in the new age and your instinctive judgment is much better than that of an old man nurtured on outworn ethics. Every age creates its own set of ethics. Morality changes like everything else.

"The little brother of a servant of mine in the Tahita mountains of British East Africa, was killed in this way. "The rapidity with which Siafu spread over the body of animate things, whether man or beast, is amazing. Old residents in Zanzibar will remember the sensation that was created when the wife of a foreign consul walking with her husband on the Muari minoja—the cash-onable road of African Ceylon, having inadvertently stepped into a procession of warrior ants, was so rapidly infested by the enemy that, wild with pain and disgust, she tore off her clothes and stood naked. "People are apt to lose their heads completely under these circumstances, the moral effect being at least as strong as the physical one. "A friend of mine, who lived near Lake Victoria, once told me how a guest of his, who was sleeping in the same room, near the window, was attacked by Saifu in the middle of the night, and already covered with them when he awoke. He jumped out of bed, tore off his pajamas, and started dancing about, yelling for his boys to come and pick off the insects.

GARNER (Continued from Page Three) bright-eyed boy, and battered away at Nelson, hoping that those bright eyes would remain so and not become tear-dimmed because a champion could be beaten. When he felt his breath coming short and painful, he realized the end was near, so he vainly, but valiantly, pummelled the stronger Nelson in an effort to make those who believed in him happy Then, during those last rounds when any man in the condition of Gans would have sunk to the floor in admission of defeat, he kept boxing—boxing when he knew only a miracle would save him. His arms were weak, his leg weary, his lungs painful, and his vision bleary, but as his thoughts returned to the boy, an almost hopeless hope was kindled and his legs bore him on and his arms—trained to be shield-like—staved off for a few rounds at least the inevitable blow that must come from his wildly swinging and boring opponent. The world's greatest defense boxer could be hit and was hit solidly in the stomach by a wild swing. But a little brown skinned boy was stabbed in the heart by that same blow delivered near three thousand miles away. Johnny's juvenile senses failed to grasp at once what it meant and when they did, Johnnie only consoled himself by musing: "I don't believe he meant to do it. Sometimes I am bad but I don't mean to be." As soon as Gans was able he busied himself seeking, unbeknown to his friends, the little boy who had bet his last cent on him. And one day he found him sitting on the grocer's team. A Good looking, isn't he? And then someone always adds, "And did you notice especially what nice hair he had?" Well groomed men don't neglect their hair. An occasional washing with Boyd's Cocoanut Oil Shampoo removes all trace of dandruff. Then you rub Wavine Dressing into the roots and scalp.

NEW YORK: 61 Whitchall St. Wavine HAIR DRESSING AGENTS UNITED "Johnnie," Gans addressed the boy who, no doubt, had not seen him first. "Yessir. O, it's you! How did you lose? Gans's face saddened. How often had men asked this same question, but he knew that none was more anxious and hurt than the present inquirer. "When a champion fights a better man, the champion loses," Gans replied. "The man I fought was just a little too tough for me." Children are the most honest people in the world and say what they believe until age and experience make liars of all, therefore when Johnnie replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Gans. When I get big enough, I'll give him a beating." Gans knew that there was at least one person in the world who felt really sorry for him and was willing to risk the weight of a few socks on the head for the sake of his sentiments. Gans smiled at the boy's encouragement, then asked: "Do you think you would like to be a fighter?" "Yes." There was no pause, no hesitation, but just the frank and honest answer, "yes." "Then if you can get off, come to the Y—you know where it is—and I will teach you." "Oh, mister Gans. Honest? Me? You gonna teach me how to fight?" It was plainly evident that the boy could not believe his ears—Gans, the idol boxer, would teach him to fight! "Yes, Johnnie, I will teach you. All you have to do is to come over to the Y every afternoon at about three o'clock and I will teach you from then until about half past. Can you do it?" "Yes sir. I can go over now if you want me to." The little fellow was all eagerness. "No. Come tomorrow. Now, be sure because I will be waiting for you." With that last remark, Gans sauntered off down the street while the vision of his mind threw him half way between smiles and tears. half way between smiles and tears. Young Larkins, on the other hand, could not restrain his enthusiasm. He knew that Old Bill, the teamster for whom he worked, would not approve of his taking up boxing in preference to driving a team of horses, but what did he care. Gans was going to teach him how to fight, and whoever Gans taught should become as good as Gans. So, while he had no intention of telling his plans to the teamster, he just bubbled over on prize fighters and fights until Old Bill, becoming wearied of the prattle, said: "You seem so crazy about fighting. I don't see why you don't get into the ring." To which Johnnie instantly replied, "I am. I'm gonna beat the guy who beat Gaps." Old Bill chuckled. The boy amused him. "Is that so?" he asked, trying to appear surprised. o appear on our screen. "Yes sir. And Gans hisself is gonna help me. He said so hisself." Johnnie no longer kept his secret. Again Old Bill chuckled as he imagined a big man like Gars wasting time on a boy in his teens. The thing in itself was preposterous, absurd. But, when Johnnie did not put in his appearance as usual after school, Old Bill took it for granted that some one was playing a joke on his helper and that the lad had become the butt.

The rags are twisted into a kind of rope and pieces of it are deposited, with due regard to the prevailing wind, either in such places as the column, on its way to the dwelling place, is likely to pass, or all around the latter. They are then lighted. "The natives of the Livingstone Range use the bulb of a plant which they call kirago; they chew it and then spit in front and on the head of the advancing enemy. The remedy is very effective. "These measures make it possible to avoid being rushed by an army of Siafu during the day; but the question assumes a much more serious aspect when the fiend, having avoided detection during the daytime, succeeds in penetrating into the habitation, or the stables, at night, either by entering through the doors or windows or by burrowing. "Natives, when their huts have been thus invaded at night, simply bolt, and spend the night elsewhere. But whites, unless they happen to live in houses having several rooms have, as a rule, nowhere else to go, and have therefore no other choice but to help PLUKO STRAIGHTENS YOUR HAIR THE FASHION WEEK Pluko WHITE Improved HAIR DRESSING Price 50¢ PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Company MEMPHIS, TENN.

And at last the deepest cut of all—"Well, if you can't take care of me, there are plenty of others who can—and will. And you can blame yourself for it. I've kept decent because of you but I have to live." He flung himself away without saying any more. But I knew then what the price of my folly and sin must be and I have paid it to the last farthing in the years since then. Don was killed by his mistress five years after the day he flung away from me in his rage and disappointment. She had come home from work and found him entertaining a young and beautiful girl in the rooms she was paying for and had shot them both. She was two years older than I. I heard that she died in the penitentiary two years ago. I do not know. But whatever happened to her I feel that my sin is the greater, for I made her crime possible by the foolishness of a sacrifice that should never have been—a sacrifice that even Nature rebelled against. And Love desecrated itself in the doing. The lesson was a bitter one, but I learned it to the last page; and now I pass it on that others may con its teachings and so my experience may save them the bitterness of a suffering that only the grave can hide.

Delicately-fragrant, it lends a finishing touch to perfect grooming. Try Pluko today. "To get rid of Siafu, in a house, whether of mud or brick, is a difficult thing. I have emptied a 300 centigramme bottle of sulphuric acid, practically without effect, on the head of an army c' Siafu, which was entering through a hole in the wall." If these vicious ants get into the roof of a house it is almost impossible to combat them or get rid of them. This is all the more difficult because most of the roofs are thatched. "I remember one time," the naturalist said, "when this happened to me. I had a cat, with three kittens, living on the roof, to reach which she had to climb a tree and then jump across. She carried her children down when the invaders appeared, one after the other and saved them all; but I had to pick out Salfu afterward from the skins of the lot, including the brave mother." It is perhaps, as well, say the scientist, that such fighters are unable to effect treaties of peace among themselves, for if they did, they might organize against animal life, and even against humans, and such a war would be terrible to contemplate and would be exceedingly painful, in many respects more so than the great battles of history.
