THE RICHMOND PLANET Alonzo Waller Victim Of Swindle Capital City Lodge Of Elks Enters New Second St. Home VOLUME XLVII. No. 42 Alon Capital City Loc Enters New S Formally Dedicated Sunday September 28,1930 The Capital City Lodge Elks, received congratulations from various clubs and fraternal organizations here during the open-celebration of their home at 526 N. Second street. The home is situated in the heart of the Negro business section of Richmond, being situated between Clay and Leigh streets, across the street from the Commercial Bank and Trust Co., between the Hippodrome and Globe theatre's. A brief description of the home is as follows: On entering the front door, on the left is a ladies rest room and parlor, which is fitted out with modern comfortable chairs, lounge, library table and piano. The chairs and lounge being upholstered in tapestry and Jacquard velour, on the right is the gents smoker and Billiard room equipped with Cigar stand, three cushion billiard tables and all the acoutrements that go to make a modern and up to date billiard room. To the rear of the billiard room is found the well stocked Cafeteria and Grill, in charge of the efficient Steward, Mr. Junius Jones; to the left of the Grill across the hall is the Card room, where members may indulge in social games for their amusement. Close inspection of this room convinced the writer that most Capital City members are very fond of Dominoes. On the second floor to our left at the landing we find Mr. Flye's Barber-shop, next to which is found the Secretary's Office, where Mr. Green seems to be the dominant figure; going to the front we find a porch which gives a most magnificent view of the Negro building. Richmond Dance Hall occupies the entire right side of the second floor, with a dias in the extreme front end for the accommodation of the orchestra. the check-room being in the extreme rear. Benjamin Temple ladies occupy the front portion across the hall from the audiolium. No use describing this part of the building as you all know how the ladies fix up their rooms. On the third floor is found the Band, room, two committee rooms, the Library and the Director's room. The furniture and fixtures in the directors room "just wont dont," across the hall from the directors room is found the Library where we get another grand view of Richmond's African Broadway, and we are afraid many of the members who have left their best days behind them will develop "cricks in the neck" from "look'in em over." There is to be found, unusual conveniences for women and men alike on each floor of the building. On the whole the Elks of Capital City lodge deserve the credit and commendation which has so lavisily been bestowed on them by the populace, for the sake of a fine building and as elaborately furnished, as any that we have seen in these parts. More power to Capital City lodge Elks in general and to "Tom Ellis," and his Board of Directors in particular.

New Home Of Capital City Lodge No.11, I. B. P. O. E. Of W. THE MUSEUM Indiana Lynching Probe Closely Watched Indiana Lynching Probe Closely Watched N. A. A. C. P. Wars Indiana Atty- General. New York, Sept. 26.—Failure of Indiana authorities to procure indict- ments of persons known to have participated in the removal from jail and lynching in the courthouse square of two colored boys in Marion, on August 8, has brought a letter to James M. Ogden, in diana State Attorney-General. In this letter the attorney-General reminds M.D. Ogden that it has submitted the names of twenty-seven alleged lynchers, and that the eyes of the country are directed toward Indiana's prosecution of the mobbists. In the N. A. A. C. P. letter, signed by Walter White, acting secretary, who investigated the lynching, it is stated that: "The names of twenty-seven alleged lynchers have been supplied to the authorities and it is known that additional names are in the possession of the sheriff and the prosecuting attorney at Marion. The grandjury at Marion had a partial report on September 19 and news accounts of that report do not mention the lynchings nor do they indicate any sincere effort on the part of the local authorities at Rarion to apprehend the known members of the mob. "Prosecutor Harley Hardin has stated to a prominent citizen of Marion that he has done everything in his power, but that it has been impossible to get the witnesses to testify against" the names of the lynchers who are known. Such a statement is incredible to put it mildly, since Sheriff Jacob has admitted that he personally recognized four members of the mob. Sheriff Campbell admitted as much to me when I was in Marion. It is a known factizens of Marion recognized additional that other officials and reputable citermembers of the mob and have so testified. I am sure that you agree that law enforcement at Marion has completely broken down and has become a ludicrous thing when such statements are made by those charged with the enforcement of the law and the punishment of violators of the law. "The entire country is watching to see if Indiana has courage and honesty enough to effect the punishment of those who took the law into their own hands at Marion, constituted themselves judge, jury and executioner and flouted not only the law but human decency. "May we again renew our request of you as attorney-general of the state that steps be taken immediately to bring about the impeachment of the sheriff, to replace the manifestly incompetent prosecuting attorney and that your office assume under the law complete charge of the process without fear of injurious feet that unless such action is taken by your office that the lynchers may with immunity laugh at the state and make the state's law enforcement efforts a hollow mockery. Only by prompt and vigorous action can this terrible stain on the good name of Indiana be removed." WILITANT ANTI-LYNCHING CONFERENCE IN SOUTH. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 30.—(CNA)—The Provisional Organization Committee of the American Newweek that it will convene a great congro Labor Congress announced this conference of Negro and white workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sunday, November 1st, for the purpose of organizing the struggle against lynch law. In its statement issued to the press the committee of the American Negro Labor Congress states: "Twenty-nine workers have met death at already this year. During the same period no less than 100 of their degrees, have been murdered by the bosses or their police for their working class activities. The boss class is determined to drown the rising struggle of the oppressed Negro masses in a sea of working class blood. "This bloody campaign of lynching, torture and murder must be stopped. The masses of Negroes, aided and supported by the white workers, must and will be organized for an aggressive campaign against lynch law and all forms of boss class terrorism. As a first step in this direction the American Negro Labor Congress has issued a call for all working class organizations to elect delegates to a mass conference against lynch law. The conference will open in Chattanooga, Tennessee, November 1st at 11 A. M. "Trade Unions, clubs and fraternal orders, insurance societies and churches all over the South are urged to elect delegates to this historic conference. At the same time the American Negro Labor Congress calls on the workers in the shops and the poor farmers and share croppers on the land to form committees for the organization of the struggle and to elect delegates from these committees to the great Chattanooga conference." It is pointed out in the statement that the conference at Chattanooga November 1st will also be a mobilization point for the National Convention of the American Negro Labor Congress to be held in St. Louis on November 15th. At this national convention plans will be worked out for a national campaign against lynch law. DEATH PENALTY DEMANDED. Two Negro Defendants, Newton Stoney on Trial in Atlanta. New York, Sept. 24. — (CNA) — Judicial lynch law swings into action with the announcement from Solicitor-General Boyton's office that Herbert Newton, 26-year-old Negro worker and Henry Story 30-year-old Negro worker will be the first of the six Atlanta "insurrection" defendants to go on trial for their lives. Their trial will be separated from the other four white workers Mary Dalton, Ann Burlack, indicted together with Joe Carr and M. H. Powers and also charged with insurrection. The International Labor Defense which is handling these trials conferred with its three attorneys to prepare its defense struggle against the threat to the lives of the Negro defendants. The International Labor Defense is demanding that all six of the defendants be tried together. MEN'S DAY AT TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was Men's Day at Trinity Baptist Church and it was splendidly observed by the men of the church, assisted by the citizens of Richmond. Mr. Neal Thompson was master of the occasion and the speakers were Messrs. Carey Wheaton Shard, Washington Roosec, C. Mitchell. The music and addresses were timely and much interest was manifested in the program. Rev. and Mrs. K. D. Turner were foremost in putting over the financial efforts and about $200 was ealized. R.

(Kindly turn to Page 2) $2.00 PER YEAR; 5 CENTS PER COPY Conference of Ohio Branches to Plan Autis, McCullough, Campus Mr. White also announced that at the request of Robert J. Bukley, Democratic candidate for Senator, a conference had been had in Cleveland at which Mr. Bukley desired to set forth his attitude on the constitutional rights of the Negro and on the relations of the races. Mr. Bukley attitude is public below without comment by the N. A. A. C. P. "The N. A. A. C. P. has been, is, and will remain a non-partisan organization. Its objective is the full civil rights of the Negro as a citizen of this country. On this ground the N. A. A. C. P. is urging all colored voters in Ohio to register, to oppose the re-election of Senator Roscoe McCulloch and to vote against him at the polls. Registration dates in Ohio are Thursday, October 2, Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11. Senator McCulloch deliberately chose, against the protests of the N. A. A. C. P. and of colored voters generally in Ohio, to vote for the confirmation to the U. S. Supreme Court of a man who had advocated denial to the Negro of one of his fundamental rights, the right to vote. When Senator McCulloch voted for the confirmation of Judge Parker, he declared himself unfriendly to the best interests of the Negro, and of all minority groups in the United States. The N. A. A. C. P. feels there is no alternative but to oppose his reelection. "When I was in Cleveland, at the request of the Democratic candidate, Robert J. Bulkley, I met with him in order to give him opportunity to set forth his views on the rights of the Negro. Those views are embodied in a set of questions and answers from Mr. Bulkley. We will let Mr. Bulkley speak for himself. We are taking no position in regard to party politics other than the position we have always maintained, namely, that the Negro must vote not for a party but for specific principles and the individuals who best exemplify justice and air play. On that ground we are op posing Senator McCulloch and urging colored voters to help defeat him." The attitude of Mr. Bulkley is set forth in his answers to questions submitted as follows: 1. What is your attitude regarding full enforcement of the rights of all citizens, but particularly of Negroes guaranteed to them under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution? A. I would vote in favor of deciding any contested election case strictly in accordance with the law and the Constitution. 2. What would be your attitude, if elected to the Senate, towards passage of Federal legislation against the crime of lynching? A. I abhor lynching. I would vote for any constitutional law to this end. 3. What would be your attitude, if elected to the Senate, towards a nominee for the United States Supreme Court whose attitude in the matter of enforcement of the constitutional rights of the Negro or of any other element of the American public was doubtful? A. I would want to be satisfied as to the correctness of his attitude. Had I been in the Senate I would certainly have voted against the confirmation of Judge Parker. 4. What is your attitude towards segregation of Negro pupils in schools, universities and colleges supported in whole or in part by public funds contributed by the state or by the federal government? A. This is a question which I think for the present has to be solved in each individual case. I would be in favor of such solution as would recognize equality of rights of all citizens, subject however to reasonable precaution against increasing friction and race animosity. 5.

S. Supreme Court after Judge Parker had proclaimed his opposition to the Negro's voting in the South. Walter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., returned to New York from conferences with officers of the Cleveland branch, reported that the branch executive committee had unanimous yoked to oppose Senator Cecil McCulloh followed by similar action the Cincinnati branch on December 22 that matter would be placed before the state conference of twenty-four Ohio branches at a meeting to be held in Columbus October 5. Mr. White made the following statement on the Ohio situation: Pays $240 For 'Cigarettes, That Turn Out To Be Sawdust When A. C. Waller, the proprietor of a confectionery at 1705-A West Leigh street opened one of the six cartoons of cigarettes he had just purchased for the sum of $24.00, he round that they contained only damp sawdust. It will be recalled that Waller won a sensational $5,000 suit against Rev. Leroy Frasier last year for alienating the affections of his wife. Knowing Mr. Waller the writer was very much surprised to learn that he had let anyone put the old fimfam game on him, and immediately hurried to him for an interview. On being asked how he fell for the game Waller burst into a loud laugh. "It was perfect," he said. "I became suspicious the minute the man walked out of the door, ran to the cases opened hem, and discovered the sawdust, and immediately telephoned the police who arrived on the scene five minutes after being called. I asked Waller "what in the world did he intend to do with all those cigarettes," a large cartoon contains 50 boxes with 20 packages to a box, and what was he trying to do—get something for nothing. "I wasn't trying to get something for nothing" he said, a cartoon costs $40.00, cash and carry, and I was paying $40.00 a cartoon. I intended to use them in my Sixth street store, West Leigh street store, Asland, and the country club." "A white man walked into my sore Wednesday night accompanied by a city policeman, the two were talking together, and the stranger bought four ten cent cigars, offering one to the policeman who accepted and walked out, leaving the man alone with me. The very fact that he was with the policeman made him O. K. with me, but it seems as if he had picked up a chance acquaintance with the police, on the outside of my store. The man told me that he was closing out his house. Ashland and could eat six cartoons of cigars, that a reasonable price, knowing that I had to hold so many cigarettes in stock for some time, we agreed on $40.00 a cartoon. He drew up a bill of sale, named a number of police I knew who were friends of him and said he would bring them Friday night." "He was about 5 feet 3 inches, stout, full had, sandy color complexion, and from his walk had bad feet. That Friday night he drove up in a Willys Knight car, had a boy standing in front of my store to bring he cases in, they were brand new cases, sealed, and with Liggetts and Myers written on them. I have seen a number of the packages and seen, and weighed the same, these were the same cartoons I had. That man must of had them on a scale when he put the sawdust in because the sawdust was wet to make it heavier." "A number of people were in the store and I was quite busy, I looked at the cartoons. Handed the man two hundred and forty dollars and told him to count it. He handed me the bill of sale. I stuck the bill under the edge of the counter; the man instead of counting the money, walked out; his aroused my suspicion. I looked for the bill of sale and thought the fan had blown it on the floor. I searched the floor and couldn't find it. I then ran to the cartoons and opened one. It was only sawdust. I had to laugh. They had gotten me at last." I asked Mr. Waller how he felt about it. "All in a life-time I suppose," he said, "I heard that a merchant downtown was caught sleeping when he bought a car with the top of the crates only containing eggs." The police are expecting an arrest soon. Mr. Waller received a telephone call yesterday telling him that they would return the money if he would close the case. Owing to the cold weather the 3rd street golf team has postponed its trip to play Charlottesville to a later date which will be arranged by the captains of both teams. On Monday night of this week the Richmond team, J. Bailey O. Jones, J. Peyton and Lonnie Lowry, beat Charlottesville to the score of Charlottesville, 171, Richmond, 133; which calls for low scores in this match to win. Their is now in the making an all-colored miniature golf league patterned after a baseball league for next season. Mr. Marcus, manager of the 3rd St. course has been in touch with such cities as Washington, Baltimore, New York, Newark, N. J., Atlantic City and has a proposal before these cities to put together a paid team from each of these cities, that is, four men from each city will be salaried men for so many weeks in the season. ; EDITORIALS The Week’s “Riitorial; Contemporary Press National Negro Bankers Hold Annual Confab ee LS WHAT ARE WE GOINP TO DO? (From the Cleveland Call and Post, Sept. 20, 1930). 0 With President Hoover almost pus- syfooting on the lynching question as evidenced by his surprisingly weak pronouncement that “every decent citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democ- racy,” and the collapse of organized Tegal agencies in combating the evil, there are alarming indications that the outrages will continue to in- crease. ‘Already this year the number of reported Idnchings show a marked increase over the record for the whole of 1929. Eighteen persons have been lynched this year as against twelve last year. This increase, in the face of an awakened public sen- timent against Iynch-law, presents a definite challenge to the forces of law and order—one that must he souarely met if this country hopes to Keep step with the march of civil- ization. Tt is a serious situation confront- ing us. It does not call for milk and water presidential utterances, but for 2 strong and vigorous denunciation backed up by federal legislation against the evil which will be strictly and fearlessly enforced! It is to this end that the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People is firecting the full foree of its efforts. In this worth- while endeavor the Association needs ‘every encouragement. And more: It needs dollars and cents! pie SoS Een THATT LYNCHING PROBE At last a notable group of South- erners has set out to make a scienti- fic investigation of the American form of savagery known as lynch- ing. It is high time, for already there have been eighteen lynchings in 1930, while the dishonor roll of 1929 was only twelve. The problem is not alone South- em, nor sectional; it is national. Indiana has just made its contribu- tion to the list. The mob spirit is rife in the North as in the South. Nor is the problem solely’ racial. There are white victims also. Proba- bly no better group could have been found for the investigation than that chosen by the Commission on Inter- racial Co-operation. George Fort Milton, the chairman, is editor of the Chattanooga News and a publicist of distinction. Julian Harris, another Southern editor, in 19266 was awarded the National Pulitzer prize in journalism for “the most disinterested and meri- torious service,” which included his “fight for justice for the Negro and against lynching.” Howard W. Odum is head of the Social Science Institute of the Uni- versity of North Carolina. The other members are Alex W. Spence, a Dallas attorney; W. P. King, book editor of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh, South, and W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman University and of the Southern Bap- tist_Convention.

New York, Sept. 26.—In an edito- rial commenting upon the recently announced southern commission for the study of lynching, the New York ‘Telegram backs up the position taken by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that a federal law will be needed to end the crime. The editorial says in part: “But, however successful this in- vestigating group’ may be in uncov- ering the causes and fixing the blame for this barbarous system, it can hardly do more in the end than re- veal the dire need for federal legis- lation and enforcement as one part of the solution. “If the administration in Washing- ton carries out its platform pledge to help the Negro it will insist on enforcement of a fedelar anti-lynch- ing law. “Once before such a bill has passed the House only to be killed by a Sen- ate minority filibuster. Now Cole Blease and some Southern Senators in that filibuster have been repudia- ted by the voters. So the adminis- tration should not have greatdifficul- ty in passing such a law if it acts with vigor and determination.” The N. A. A. C. P. attorneys are now at work upon the draft of a fed- eral antilynching law to be intro- duced in House and Senate at the next session of Congress. College Committee chosen:- R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskogee: John Hope, ‘president of Atlanta Univer- sity; Charles S. Johnson, of Fisk University, and B. F. Huber, presi- dent of Georgia State College. Presumably these _ investigators will have the co-operation of the eight Southern governors who_re- cently pledged themselves to fight this evil. Certainly the aid of all offi- cial, as well as commercial and edu- cational, institutions is needed to make the investigation a success. The Commission on Interracial Co- operation in appointing the investiga tors did not exaggerate in describ- ing the situation as so ominous that the people ‘must confront afresh their task of vindicating law and civilization.” But, however successful this in- vestigation group may be in uncov- ering the causes and fixing the blame for this barbarous system, it can hardly do more in the end than re- veal the dire need for federal legis- lation and enforcement as one part of the solution. If the administration in Washing- ton carries out its platform pledge to help the Negro it will insist on enact- ment of a federal anti-lynehing law. Once before such a bill has passed the House only to be killed by a Senate minority filibuster. Now Cole Please and some Southern Senators in that filibuster have been repudi- ated by the voters.

Ransome On POLITICS WHAT DOES IT SIGNIFY? Many comments and various interpretations have been given by the Negro press of this country upon the J. 0. West primary ease in the city of Richmond. It will be recalled that West was refused the privilege to vote during a democratic primary election. Wherever primaries are held, especially in the South, the successful candidate is already elected so far as his party is concerned. Many who vote in the primary do not even go to the polls in’ the regular elections. All who go, however, are bound by the machine selected man in the primary. ‘The law of the South has been that no Negro could vote in the democratic primary. West tried to vote in a primary election and was prevented by the election judges. West entered suit and after a long fight won. The matter got as far as the United States District court in the jurisdiction of Judge Groner. When the city lost in this court it was said that the matter would be carried to its limit—to. the supreme court of the nation before a Negro should be permitted to vote in a democratic pri- mary. But the matter did not go to the supreme court. WHY? Legally it did not go there because the time limit expired. In other words, the city attorney did not take advantage of the ap- peal privilege within the time specified by law. But WHY did he let the time slip. Various reasons have been given. 1. He “slept on his rights,” ie., he forgot it until too late. 2. He saw that he was fighting a losing game. 3. He knew that Judge Groner’s decisions are usually up- held. 4. He perkaps had not forgotten the recent set back of the Richmond residential case in which the city was laughed out of the Supreme Court of the nation. 5. He may have concluded with his party that it did not worth the cost for not enough Negroes would vote the democratic ticket to make any serious difficulty. 6. He may have concluded that even if a great number of Negroes wanted to vote the democratic ticket they could not for many of them do not pay poll tax in time, and still a greater number have not registered. 7. Or even if a great number would attempt to register per- haps the North Carolina example could save the day, for there the Negro must “satisfy the registrar” even tho the registrar decides that no Negro can “satisfy” him. 8. Or it may be that the democratic party has a way yet unknown except to itself by which the Negro can still be barred. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? It is difficult to tell what the failure to apy future of the Negro. Various interpretations Among them are the following: 1. The white people of the South are b erant toward the Negro. 2. The democratic party is making a b vote. 3. That Richmond has at last acknowledg: like the white man, is politically free to choos It is difficult to tell what the failure to appeal means for the future of the Negro. Various interpretations have been given. Among them are the following: . 1. The white people of the South are becoming more’ tol- erant toward the Negro. 2. The democratic party is making a bid for the Negro vote. 3. That Richmond has at last acknowledged that the Negro, like the white man, is politically free to choose his party. TOO OPTIMISTIC? The writer is not a pessimist by any means, but to him there is no special favorable omen in the city’s failure to appeal the case. The city simply saw that it could not win. It would have, if it thought it could have won. It did not care to be laughed out of court twice in rapid succession. Then, too, the recen tvictories of the Negroes over the country (the Shriners’ case in Texas for example) have con- vinced some white people that all white people and all the courts are not the blind victim of prejudice. ‘The democrats have a reason for keeping the Negro out of their party. It is more than social. It is economic as well. They see (whether falsely or truly) that to admist Negroes to the dem- ocratic primary—since the democratic reign supreme in the South—would be to admit the Negro finally to be placed on the municipal pay roll. It will not be forgotten that Rev. W. R. Johnson served as a Negro probation officer, was endorsed by the judge of the juvenile court, and by influential Negroes of Rich- mond, but the Mayor of the city would not endorse him on the ground that Negroes were not to be municipal employees. Can it be thought that this party has become converted over night? They further see equal salaries for colored and white teachers, similar high school curricula and so on. While the writer is not inclined to believe that the city’s failure to appeal in time means any intended good to the Negro, yet GOOD WILL RESULT = 1. Those who would oppress the Negro may move more slowly. 2. Negroes will be encouraged to fight more unanimously for their rights, since in may cases the United States courts seem to b ewithout prejudice. 3. Democratic candidates will be inclined to consider the needs and opinions of Negroes in his district. ‘Let us wait but qualify as we wait to see what the end will be. > Howard’s Facnlty (Continued from page 1) M.

Pace in his arti- cle entitled “Premium Income and Jobs” in which he cited facts and figures to prove that we as a race placed in white insurance com- panies, during the year 1929 than Bixty-seven million dollars. ‘The ‘money placed in these enterprises by the Negro is money literally thrown away as far as we are con- cerned, for it is a known fact that not one of the companies named in his article employs, or ever has em- ployed, a Negro agent or a Negro clerk. ‘Let us now contrast the amount paid into twelve Negro companies Quring the same year. We paid into Negro companies during 1929 a fraction over thirteen million dol- jars; we find by this comparision that we paid into white companies more than five times as much of our “cool cash” as we paid into our own companies. Basing the esti- mate of the number of jobs that we threw away on the number of jobs furnished by the Negro companies which is placed at 6,451, we find That the $67,216,385, that we placed into the hands of white companies whe refuse to employ one Negro agent clerk, or stenographer; that will not even employ a Negro to serve his own people, would have given employment to ‘approximately Eventy thousand Negroes at the least. Is it any wonder that we do not prosper? “A SMALL MATTER” Many who read the statement of Mr. Pace, considered these figures astounding and that some remedy should be forthcoming, but we must remember that what is true of the insurance business is also true of ‘ali other lines of Negro endeavor, except of course those lines in which he has no white competition. Wherever the Negro has white com- petition, even if the trade is all of his oww race, the Negro suffers. On the block’on which I live, on ‘one corner_a Negro man operates a Shoe Repair Shop and on the other end of the same block at the other corner is a Shoe Shop per. ated by a white man and Ihave called the attention of hundreds of people to Negroes walking away from the Negro with their work to carry it to the white man—ea man whom they know positively exerted his efforts to keeping Negroes off the block in wheih we live. No mat- ter how antagonistic the white white man is to our tace, no mat- ter how poor the services we pat- ronize the white man in preference to the Negro. Ia it any wonder that we do not prosper? NuNumbers and Other Rackets”... ‘We own less of the nation’s wealth than other races in America, yet we spend more money on clear- jng house and other rackets than any other nation on earth, end yet Tess out of it. More than $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars) in the rackets here in ‘America in the course of a year. This staggering sum of money wise- ly invested in the various Negro en- terprises would employ at least 23,000 Negroes. If we would exer- cise the same spirit in our busi- ness dealings that we exercise in our dealing with our churches we could some day get out of the gut- ter, for with the small percentage of our wages that we give to the church—about two cents out of each dollar that we earn—we own in America over $200,000,000 (two hundred million dollars) in church property. We will not put even. this amount in anything else worthwhile. That’s why the Negro does not prosper. cal instructors in the School of Me- dieine are as follows: Drs. Carroll A.

MITCHELL Randolph 1481 900 St. James St. Prior to the Civil War the Sea Islands of Southern South Carolina were the scene of a rich and typical ante-bellum civilization, With the booming of Federal gunboats off the coast, followed by the prompt occu- pation of the Islands, the white owners sought safety in flight, They never returned. The Islands, the lar- gest of which is St, Helena, were a- bandoned to the occupancy of the former Negro slaves. There they have developed a stable society of their own and have remained the most isolated group of colored peo- ple in America, and conseauenlty the most typical of what primitive Neg- roes were. It is there one finds the “Gullah” types, whose quaint, lan- guage and customs are so delight- fully portrayed in Mrs. Peterkin’s “Black April.” However, it is not the novelist and the ethnologist alone who find pecu- liar values in this situation. To the sociologist also it is intensely inte. resting, as illustrating the efforts of a retarded group just delivered from bondage to build their own civiliza- tion, with a minimum of extraneous influence, What success have they had in learning to make a living, in creating orderly government, in in maintaining their religion, and in building a moral code? ‘These fun- damental questions Dr. Woofter has answered for us in “Black Yeoman- iy,” after an extended residence on St. Helena Island and a thorough study of all the facts. Suffice it to say that, for the most part, the an- swers are surprisingly creditable to the dusky inhabitants, as for exam- ple when we see them trooping to their “praise horses” and chnrches rather than to the courts for the ad- judication of disputes. ‘But the book is much more than a scientific study. The author has given us also._a most engaging picture of the daily life and character of the simple, kindly inhabitants of the Js- land. 'Of peculiar interest are the sections of the book treating of re- Yigion, folk lore, supertsition, the ‘spirituals,” and the whole intimate rovnd of everyday life, With excep- ticnal skill the author combines the exactness of the scientific investiga- tor with the warm human interest and imacination of the nomvlar writ- er. On either count the book possess. es unique interest and value, and will Wall repay the reader. jas ‘Ry R. B. Eleazer NEGRO TELLS OF MOSCOW CON. GRESS.

I have enjoyed myself better the few days than I would have done in a year in the States.

BROWN HAS LOUDEST WARDROBE IN HOLLYWOOD Displays Some Knickers In “Top Speed” That Yell For Themselves Joe E. Brown, who comes to the National Theatre next week in {Pop Speed,” is noted for having the loudest wardrobe of any actor in Hollywood. The comedian has gathered the wardrobe during a period of years, fand picked up some of his choicest possessions in smaller cities during {ours on the road while he was still on the legitimate stage. “freak clothes are the hardest things in the world to buy—be- lieve it or not,” says Brown. “I have always worn loud clothes on the stage. But fhen I come to buy a wardrobe I find it tremendously hard to get noisy clothes. It is impossible at good stores, because they don't carry them, or won-t shom them if they have a fow freaks in stock. However you can often pick them up in out of the way places, or in cheap cloth- ing stores in the poorer parts of town.” ‘The only Hollywood actor who has @ noisy wardrobe comparable to Brown’s is Sam Hardy, who has also been gathering freak suits for years, Louise Fazenda has the Strangest woman's wardrobe, num- bering more than a hundred dress- es that have long since been ovt moded, Tn “Top Speed,” which is a rol licking comedy, Brown wear Hol.

The producers of “Unguarded Girls,” which opens today at the Ly. ric Theatre, for one week, were in- spired to arrange this production im. mediately after the Government be- gan prosecution against Mary W. Dennett, the grandmother who pub- lished pamphlets on sex and distrib uted them through the mails, Thi conviction has caused considerable discussion throughout the countrs and has brought the subject of sex before the community throughout the land. This conviction was recently set aside by the Supreme Court thereby upholding Mrs. Dennett’ theory that the subject of sex is un- lawful. “Unguarded Girls” is a stage anc film attraction dealing with the sub- Ject of sex and it is frank and to the point, yet it is so well handled that it does not offend anyone, but bring: home with it a message of tremen- dous force in a manner that has neve! before been presented to an audi ence on the stage. This attraction has created considerable discussion during its engagement at the Ear Carroll Theatre, New York, where it played an entire Summer. Unlike the average production in this type, “Ungarded Girls” run: more than two hours. This attrac tion is made up of films, slides an¢ charts, all of which is entirely dif. ferent with what has heretofore beer shown on the screen or stage in Rich mond. “Unguarded Girls” is a life time education given in two hours.

See what this amazing medicine did for him, and then decide to find out all about it from the Konjola Man, who is at the Peoples Service drug store, 101 East Broad Street, this city. Learn how Konjola cleanses the alinig organs; rids the system of poisons and brings glorious relief from ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and from rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. But right now—before you do anything else—read what Mr. Jones said to the Konjola Man: “Konjola is the most marvelous medicine I have ever found. For several years I had stomach distress almost constantly, and especially after meals. At Ebenezer Church St. John Baptist Church. If you are Ready. 3:30 P.M. Holy Communion. 3:30 P.M.

But friends kept urging me to give Konjola a trial. I can never tell how happy I am over the results from five bottles. My stomach troubles are over and today I can eat anything. My bowels and liver are functioning naturally, and I feel like a new man, full of life and energy. I shall never hesitate to recommend Konjola to my friends. So it goes; victory after victory.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES NEGRO EDUCATION. New Service Created With Specialist At Head. A new position of considerable importance has recently been created in the United States Office of Education and a specialist in Negro education has been assigned to the office. Its specific and immediate function is to serve as a clearing house of information concerning Negro education; to conduct, direct, and encourage educational research; to stimulate interest in the present status and future possibilities of Negro education; and to assist in co-ordinating the various researches, activities, and interests of Negro schools and of persons concerned in Negro education and related matters. In realizing these purposes the office will endeavor to collect facts of all kinds bearing directly and indirectly on Negro education; and make periodic digests of educational literature dealing with or which may be of use to Negro education. The most specialist in this office will visit and communities and throughout the country to contact schools with school officials and others who are interested in Negro education; attend and address meetings of educational and other organizations on topics relating to his specialty; and will act as consultant on Negro education with educators and others desiring his services. In performing his duties the specialist will endeavor to confer with and utilize the services of specially qualified persons in the various fields of Negro education; will attend to focus on the problems of Negro education all of the expert knowledge, techniques, and educational forces available in the Nation. The Secretary of the Interior, on the recommendation of the Commission of Education, has appointed Dr. Ambrose Caliver to this new and very important post. Professor Caliver has recently completed his work for the Ph.D. degree at Teachers College, Columbia University, where he majored in College Administration and Instruction and minored in Educational Personnel Research. He is the Negro in the country to meet the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in this field. He has had wide experience in both public and private education, and in elementary and secondary schools, as well as in collegiate work, and his experience matters of a social and civic nature has been broad. Dr. Caliver is a native of Virginia and received his high school training in Knoxville, Tennessee. He received his B. A. degree from Knoxville College, and his M. A. degree from the also studied at Harvard University University of Wisconsin. He has contributions to educational literature have been many and varied, both in the field of research and in general education. Dr. Caliver, who was formerly dean of Fisk University, in Nashville, had already accepted a teaching post at Howard University in Washington, which latter position he resigned to accept the Government appointment, effective Sept. 1. Because of its uniqueness and strategic situation it is felt that the position offers large opportunities for service both to the Negro race and to the nation. Although the major emphasis will be on public elementary and secondary education, any question or problem relating to Negro education in general will receive the attention of the new office is located in the U. S. Office of Education of the Department of the Interior.

C.—(CNS)—Sam Hickman, a colored man living near Johnsonville, in Hartnett County, is reported to have walked 15 miles to pay a debt which he incurred the day before. Hickman, who was in Sanford, had trouble with his car; having no funds to pay the garage for repairs, he told the proprietor that if he would trust him he would come back the next day and pay him. Sure enough the next day he appears the second time the bill, having paid 15 miles from his home. The local newspaper called it "a demonstration of honesty worthy of emulation not only by members of his race, but by the members of the white race as well."

Unassuming, a worker and not a shirker, doer, and not a dodger, he caught the eye of Mentor Hucles and was placed on the right end. Fighting to the last minute is the spirit which characterizes the play of this justly famed son of Tidewater. At the conclusion of last season the Panthers seeking a man to lead for "30" as Smith had generalized during "29", chose at the Victory feast at Slaughter restaurant, Johnny Williams to pilot them into the fray.

Already cold winds have ushered in grid weather and the rabble turns its attention to the Panther lair where Coach Hucles proteges are priming for their initial tilt with the Seminary Parsons at Hovey field tomorrow.

Smith rolled in Tuesday and has already enlivened things around the lair. No fellers, "Cap" didn't roll in late for "note". Oid man Sargent had him.

No. I won't give you the dope on th' rest. "Beat Seminary" "On to Norfolk" are the two slogans of the pepsters. After trouncing the Parsons, Union will journey to tidewater and rout Lincoln U's pack of Lions. And then ---C'mon Morgan. Of course gang you know the Panthers have routed Lincoln for the past eleven years, and after trouncing them effectively last year rommed to Baltimore and trampled the Morgan Marylanders to the tune of a 19-7 set back. There is a lot of spirit around the campus, to spur the gridders. Last A. Howard Bisons Gather For Football Practice Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.—Winn grim determination to avenge their defeats of last year, the rowdy University Bison rallied to the cann of Coach Verdell last week Thirty-nine responded on the first day in contrast o 18 last year. Among those reporting were Captain Glacisco Mack, two year letter man, and John Marshall, star nail back, together with 11 other letter men—Feyton, Whiting, Washington, Ellis, Hagan, Stokes, Harris, Adams, Boshel, with Drew and Shelton on the 1928 varsity. Others reporting were Cheyney, Bryant, Francis, Benton, and Stewart, local school stars trying out for tackle; together with Hooks, 217 pound lad from Hackensack, N. J. Edwards Taylor, and Harvey are new men trying out for guard. The new material in the back field includes Sally Hall, varsity basketball star; Percy White, formerly of Virginia Seminary; Ted Lyons, of Dunbar, and Ukkerd, whose zashy form last year was curtailed by an injured leg; Larry Morris, Stevens, Chapman, Branch, Linwood, Allen, and Howard. All of the members of last years' squad are eligible, including the 16 letter men. Those who have not yet returned have indicated their intention to register on the first of October and will report immediately to the coach. Among those expected back are Harry Webb, "Babe" Hayes, "Crow" Hawkins, and Greenlee. Eddie Davis, local boy, 1928 all C. I. A. quarter back of Virginia Seminary, was registered at Howard during the spring quarter and has declared his intention of returning the 1st of 10ebcor and will be a candidate for his old position in the back field. During the past week the coaches have devoted their time to fundamentals, with conditioning exercises. Coach Verdell is impressed with the material on hand and feels certain that the Bison will have a formidable line. His chief concern is for reserve material in the back field. Joe Drew has been shifted from end to back field, and with such splendid material in center it is quite probable that Smith will also be tried out in back eld position. Marshall's kicking shows great improvement over last year at which time he was handicapped by an injured leg. Hall's ability to kick and general aggressiveness are attracting attention in his effort to land the position as quarter back. With two practices daily, and blackboard drill at night, the squad is whipping into shape for their opening game of the season with Johnson C. Smith at Charlotte on October 11. On the following Saturday Howard will meet West Virginia State College in the first home game. MILLBORO, VA. Rev. S. Robinson was at his post of duty Sunday. He preached to a very appreciative crowd.

Just call The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia Seasiders Groom For Hard Grid Season Hampton Inst., Va., Sept. 27.—With sixty-eight men wearing Blue and White togs, Coach Smith got down to brass tacks last week, and put the Hampton Seasiders through a series of strenuous conditioning exercises, fundamental drills, and stiff scrimmages. The Ironmen scrimmaged for an hour on Monday while the coaches analyzed the play and a hundred or more spectators looked on. The men exemplified the results of their two weeks of formal training and gave an encouraging exhibition of charging, blocking, tackling, and low, hard running. Briggs, Johnson and Hooker did some fine punting. The rest of the week has been devoted to intensive drill, both for the backfield and line, and three more scrimmages. Assistant Coach Neilson has been paying particular attention to the strengthening of the backfield, and organizing the vast amount of backfield material. Enthusiasm has already begun to run high among the students and the team is in high spirits, bidding fair to start the season with a bang. Each of the four practice units putting its whole soul into practice, co-operating with one thought in mind—to play the hardest and brainiest football that Hampton teams have ever played. There is no half-hearted endeavor on Armstrong Field; those sixty-eight men are determined to give Hampton another championship team to each one of them is doing his work. Hampton will play St. Paul on October 11, to open a stiff season, featuring such teams as Bluefield, Virginia State, Howard, Morgan, Union, T. & T. and Lincoln in the Yankee Stadium. Although there is a determination to win every game, is an especially strong feeling in regard to the New York gale, a desire to regain the advantage lost when the Oxford lads won in Polo Grounds last year.

Lost Her Sweetheart--But Found A Fortune Was Attractive Rose Drew Lucky or Unlucky When Her Lover Frankly Spurned Her for A "Marriage of Convenience"? True Stories Achievement Stories W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago. Advertising Representatives Lost Her Was Attract Frankly By HOPE HUDSON There will be some, of course, who will say that this story is not true; and on the other hand, there will be many readers of the higher intellectual type who will quickly detect the truthful ring of it, and accept the tragedy of those young lovers as an actual happening. However, we had better explain that the young lovers A. S. S. Jesse Rathburn (as he appeared five years ago) whom Rose Drew loved from childhood. escaped with their lives, and lost only their ability to feel and love—for such misfortunes usually creep in when hearts are broken. It is one of the most beautiful romances ever to occur, and, had it been purely imaginary instead of actually true—regardless of how long ago—this extraordinary story would remain a masterpiece even today. The Red House, where the Makens THE HOME OF THE MAYOR The Red House, where the Makens family had been robbed and slain. The story begins on a luxurious June afternoon like velvet, when the rapidly greening grass reached up to the shapely knees of Rose Drew, our heroine, and when the sun was an explosion of bronze, piercing a thin veil of saffron; and when the birds sang, and the soft padded feet of game broke dry brush with a little crackling sound, afterwards stirring brush piles. Beyond, on the banks of the river, about forty or fifty feet wide, squatted, like an enormous bug, the grotesque Red House where the Makens family had been slain and robbed. Rose Drew's father was not, we have been led to believe, as superstitious as some folk, so he was not afraid to live where four people had been fiendishly murdered. The old gentleman had lost his wife shortly after purchasing the house from the late Charley Martin of Maryville, and now resided with only his daughter for companionship. The Richmond Planet Rose was waiting with admirable patience for her lover and when, presently, dry brush crackled again, the ambitious youth appeared. "You know, Jesse," Rose said, "father sternly objects to young men frequenting our home, and I am terribly sad because of it." Jesse nodded understandingly. "I guess I understand the situation," he told her. "Your dad's old and he's afraid you'll marry and leave him. I can't say he is to be blamed for such precautionary measures. Were you to go away, honey, there would be no one for him to look to for his wants." She smiled with her eyes, a trick she had learned, which was with her quite attractive and lovable. "No," she agreed, "he isn't to be blamed. But I'm beginning to realize that I'm losing the best part of my life. It is gradually slipping away from me like it is him. Oh! I don't know what to do!" They sat there for a long time until a sly old fox slipped out of the brush and looked at them, smiled knowingly and trotted away, as if understanding that they were not to be interrupted in this serious moment—a moment when young love rules, and all else is forgotten. Then Jesse Rathburn told the girl who loved and trusted him that he was going away. "I've saved enough money to attend law school," he said, "so I had better be making hay while the sun shines. I aim, however, to return quite often, for, Rose—I simply cannot live without seeing my little sweetheart now and then." He went off to law school, making splendid grades and advancing as rapidly as any young man who desires a career. He did not forget, for family had been robbed and slain. a single moment though, to come back two or three times a year, always finding Rose waiting for him, and always finding her happy because of his return. It is a point of assurance that there are a very few women in this entire world like Rose Drew—and so thought Jesse Rathburn. Upon one of these occasions, the last to be exact, Mr. Drew hobbled down the river bank to the meeting place, to catch them lying in the tall grass, locked in each other's embrace. "Get out!" he exclaimed, and he brandished his cane. "Get out, and never let me see your face again. Rose—you go to the house!" There was, as far as the young lovers could see, nothing to do but to obey; and that is the last time they met for two years. It seemed that Jesse Rathburn was afraid to write for fear that his letters would be intercepted by the obnoxious father, and because he never wrote. Rose G "Get out," he exclaimed, and he brandished his cane. "Get out and never let me see your face again. Rose— you go to the house." HER FATHER'S SECRET-A True Story On Page 2, This Issue Drew remained silent. Still, however, the flame of her glowing love was not to be dimmed by anything, no matter how grave. Winter came, ushered in by a furious snow storm. The ground and housetops were draped with ermine. Where once there had been green grass there were now only deep drifts, and the trees looked like Christmas, with icicles clinging to the knarled branches. Rose Irew knew when her father went to bed that winter that he would never rise again. He had propped his cane up in a corner, with the air of one who says to himself: "Well, you're no good any more." And a sort of peace and calm came over him, being, as Rose well knew, positively unnatural. Mr. Drew called her to his side. "I'm drifting away," he said, "so I guess you'd better look around and find a husband. There's Karl Dacon, who lives at Wolf Creek Bridge. I like him. Besides, he's honest, and will treat you right. Call him in. I'll talk to him." On account of the serious condition of her parent, Rose lifted no objection, although she knew that she could never live with the farmer, Dacon, as his wife. Dacon told her what her father had confided to him. "He thinks you and me ought to get married." They were in the kitchen, seated before the enormous gray stone fireplace, and Rose was popping corn over the scarlet flames. She looked up at Dacon with a wild stare in her beautiful eyes. "You wouldn't want to marry a woman who hates you, would you?" asked Rose calmly. The question brought him volcanically to his feet. He was a big man and the floor threatened to break through under his weight. "So you hate me, huh!" He reached out, having hold of her and pulling her up in front of him. "Huh, maybe I ain't got a great deal of love for you. However, I've got an ax to grind." She recoiled. "You're after the property," she accused. He laughed mockingly. "Maybe that ain't all." For a long time afterward this statement was to prove to be a haunting ghost to Rose Drew. "Well," she declared, "I'll never be your wife, and you may as well let it drop at that." "We'll see," he hissed between clenched teeth, and walked out into the snow storm where the wind swept and howled like a pack of famished wolves. It wasn't long after that when her father died, and after his death she expressly forbade Dacon to enter the house. She told him that he would cross the threshold only on pain of death, and kept a shot gun conveniently near. Countless times Rose thought of what Dacon had said about there being something besides the property he wanted. It had been, she knew, an insinuation discreetly veiled, if it could be called discreet at all. Then one night she was rudely awakened when a man crawled into her bedroom throug4. a window near the foot end of the bed. He held a revolve; and this was pointed at Rose. At once she knew that she was being confronted by Dacon in a real life drama which surpassed any histrionic presentations. She rose screaming and fled into the kitchen, where she groped about in the darkness for the shot-gun kept there for just such a time as this. Her cold hands grasped the barrel of the weapon secreted behind the door with the violent entrance of the man bent upon doing her some heinous injustice. Up came the heavy weapon, and, without pausing to think, she pressed the trigger.

Rose— Fire split the blackness and the charge of shot thundered in a death spasm, cutting Dacou to the door. He never moved again—lay there on his broad back with his powerful arms outflung. There was a severe trial over this, Rose Drew being arrested and incarcerated. But through the skill of the young lawyer, Jesse Rathburn, she was exonerated. "Gentlemen, you cannot punish this poor girl for what she did to a demon steeped in rascality." The above was taken from his published address to the jury. And she was freed. Jesse lingered a while that night, having come from St. Louis to conduct her defense. "They thought you must have had an affair with Dacon," he explained, "otherwise he wouldn't have been present in your house at night. But thank God we changed their minds." Later, he said as gently as possible: "I'm beastly sorry Rose—you see—oh, I might as well admit the truth. I've got to frame a marriage of convenience. It takes money to get anywhere now—and you have none." She did not protest, but sat silent and saw him depart for good, knowing she would never again lay eyes on his face. However, fortune belatedly smiled upon her. When the carpenters were replacing the old floor with a new one, she found the riches the Makens family had hidden in the house. There were none to claim this, so Rose Drew stepped forth a proud and wealthy woman, entering the elite circles of the town. And she had the satisfaction of throwing cold water on the aspirations of Jesse Rathburn who sought to marry her for her money. When he wrote her letters, she promptly returned them unopened. And it was Rose who later, and quite magnificently, arranged for herself, a marriage of convenience. She married another St. Louis lawyer. -A TrueStory MY FATHER'S SECRET An Innocent Young Daughter Faces an All-Too-Frequent Problem A TRUE STORY COMPLETE IN THIS ISSUE Fictitious Names are Used in this Story MY MOTHER died when I was but eleven. Until soon after her death I had never seen my father. I had merely heard of his existence. I was very small, but I can well remember the summer day, in that little dusty room on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, when my mother lay a corpse. I remember how she died so painlessly, tranquilly, like a woman whose life was irreproachable. I gave a long silent look as she lay on her back with eyes closed, calm features, her long black hair carefully arranged, as if she had made her toilette five minutes before her death. Her colorless physiognomy was so resigned that one felt sure that a sweet soul had dwelt in that body, that this serene and sainted mother had spent a life devoid of trouble, that this virtuous soul had lived without shock or remorse. I remember how, on my knees beside her bed I wept distractedly. My best friend had gone; the only one who is able to hold a child with that inflexible code of morality, instilling into its heart and soul a religion without weakness, a sense of duty without compromise. It was the night before the day my mother was buried that people came from miles around to attend the funeral, to see if my father had come, and to learn more about my business in general. They were all seated in the little room which was divided by a bit of drapery and lighted by an oil lamp. I sat alone in a corner, pondering over secrets that were tucked away in my heart. I knew I had to have food, clothing, and shelter such as had always been provided by the one whose body lay before me. I disliked the thought of living with my aunt, the only relative I had eve. known. She was an old maid in every detail. To be mean, and selfish was the habit of her heart and soul. She was like most old maids; nervous, irritable and possessed with the belief that nature had created this world for her own special benefit. I did not wish to live with her, yet how could I live without her? I sat pondering over all these matters, lifting my eyes to others, who sat nodding between conversations, when suddenly there was a noise in the yard which so aroused the attention of the women that they looked up at each other in confusion. The sound came nearer,—it was the sound of heavy foot-steps, first upon the porch and then in the hall. The women looked nervously at each other as the door knob slowly turned and in came a human figure—a man whom practically all recognized as my father. His appearance astonished me. My emotions were so torn that I did not know whether to laugh or cry. I sat motionless and watched this handsome midle-aged man of medium height, slim, and with feminine delicacy in his features, as he lifted his hat and walked to the bed where my mother lay. An infinite peace, a divine melancholy, a silent serenity seemed to surround this dead body and my father. Soon he lifted his head, and after looking about him rested his eyes upon me in the corner holding my hands. Not a word was exchanged between the two of us save what was expressed in that long, silent glance of a man in whose eyes repentance shone like an evening star. He took me in his arms, kissed me, brushed my hair backward and called me "my child." I was not afraid. No child should feel frightened when tender sympathy appears in its father's eyes. Still holding me in his arms, he turned to speak to the neighbors who looked curiously at this demonstration. Then we walked over to a large chair where we slept the night through. "At last my father had come. Consequently, I would not have to live with Aunt Emma." I said to myself. Of course, Aunt Emma and the neighbors were not glad to see him. They had called him "coward," "brute," because he had left mother when I was still in the cradle, and besides, they were country folk and, like all country people, they depend upon local scandals and their neighbors' private affairs to employ their minds. They were disappointed because things had gone so harmoniously. One by one, all left the room. **** Several days after my mother had been buried my father seemed peculiarly nervous. One night he said to me: "Molly, my little girl, I know you'll be lonely for your moth- 2 * * * er. Would you like to take me for a playmate and go to my home on the Western. Shore?" "Oh! father, that would be wonderful!" I was elated over the chance to attend school and to live in a happy home. "Well, I shall take you with me. We shall walk in the woods together, and I will show you where the little furred and feathered folk live; how they talk and play, and how the gray squirrels scamper when we pass." * * * * Taking me in his arms, he added: "Yes, at my home—I will teach you to paddle a canoe, to shoot at a mark and to ride horseback. Maybe then my little girl will not be so lonely for her mother." I could not describe the bolt of happiness that these words brought to me. It was so wonderful to escape that gloomy country and to visit places I had never before seen. My joy was boundless when we arrived at my new home, in North Bend, on the Western Shore, where my father had lived for years. The beautiful Chateau, situated in the midst of enormous pines, was such a striking contrast to the little dilapidated two-room home in which my mother and I had always lived. I was happy to be surrounded by beautiful things in what I considered such a delightful place. My father had several servants. I remember, so well, the keeper, a sort of brute who had been there for years; and a charming woman of about 45, to whom my father referred as the housekeeper. At first I thought this woman was very sweet, but as I grew older I began to hate her. Somehow I could think of her only as the other woman in father's life—the one who had stolen the only man my mother had ever loved and left her with a bleeding heart to die alone. "The thief! the villain! the vagabond! I thought to myself." "I'll see that you don't stay here." But I could never get my father to disagree with her, whether she - e d e - o y r s When Babies FRET There are times when a baby is too fretful or feverish to be sung to sleep.

"Surely there's something between them," I thought to myself, but I had all the confidence in my father that any girl could have. I never associated him with any wring deed or unclean thought. To me he was, in every particular, an honorable character; a man of principle. In fact, my dear mother had never uttered an ill word against him and had never allowed any one to do so. Day by day, I found it impossible to understand the housekeeper. Every night about ten o'clock, when all was still, I could hear footsteps; some one tipping past my door, down the hallway toward father's room. Every morning at breakfast, I inquired about this noise. Always I was told that I had been dreaming or that I had eaten too heartily before retiring. For harmony's sake, I believed her. I didn't know much about the ways of men and women. I was just from the country, down on the Eastern Shore where most boys and girls farm instead of going to school. Here, on the Western Shore, with the advantage of schools and contacts, it was possible to learn considerable knowledge of life. Of course, I didn't have a mother during the dangerous period in the life of every girl. When I was nineteen, I thought of life and companionship as we'd as friends among the girls and boys. To me, my father was all—the greatest man in the world. He was an excellent provider but I never knew how he made his money. After he made mysterious trips to New York, Philadelphia and other places, he always had a surplus of money and gave me everything a girl could desire. One day when we all sat at dinner, I decided to ask my father about the nature of his business. So, bravely, I inquired: "Father, you never speak of your business. Won't you tell me what it is?" The housekeeper looked up in surprise, but when she saw the militant look in my eyes, she knew what would have happened had she officiously interrupted the conversation. Father replied: "Dear, I'm a banker. Have you never heard me refer to my being a banker before?" But he talked like he didn't want to tell me and continued to watch the housekeeper before he answered my question. So I became satisfied. "My father is a banker," I forced myself to believe. "I'm very proud of him." One day when I was home, father did not go to his office. He said that he was not well. So I read to him, one of Dickens's most interesting stories. He listened very attentively for a while, then he began to Net Contents 15 Fluid Draughts 9GO DROPS CASTORIA ALGOHOL 3 PER CENT Allegedly Preparation Bundle including the Food by Regi- tating the Stomach and Bowels of INFANTS CHILDREN There by Promoting Digestion Cherieffulness and Rest.

WHITE LAUGHTER A Dramatic Serial Story of Love and Sacrifice Will Carl Forget Himself and Fall under the Spell of the "Plantation Blues"? INSTALLMENT FIVE THE hot days, which were bearable by the languorous loveliness of the cool nights, glided by with dreamlike unreality. Carl quickly became accustomed to the ways of the Barre plantation, and even found himself enjoying the slow, rythmic beat of the life surrounding him. Although he had not been able to successfully mix with the rest of the workers, he found this to his advantage in some ways, as his taciturnity inspired a respect from the workers that enabled him to carry on his work with little interference. However, he found himself highly popular with both the young and the older women. His very reserve seemed to pique their imagination, and some of the younger girls, especially Elmira, seemed to be contesting for his favor. By now Hotshot spent most of his spare time, even the evenings, with Big Sally, and Carl was much alone. At first he had been a little shocked by his friend's going frankly with the big woman, but this had worn away as he understood the workings of the social system on the plantation. In the north this free and easy; manner of living and loving would be called immoral, and yet, Carl asked himself, were these people who lived together frankly and openly without being married any worse than some of the "society" folks he knew who were constantly involved in scandals and worse? These simple folk merely obeyed the dictates of their desires, and who was the worse for it? He had met a woman on the place who had been "with" her man for twelve years, and the couple were as proud of their three children as any married couple could have been. They lived together quietly, working, and doing what they could to improve themselves, just as anyone else did. Carl told himself that his new method of reasoning regarding what he had been taught to hold as rank immorality was no let down in his personal morals, and he assured himself that the fact that he had not taken advantage of the many chances for adventure offered him, was ample proof of it. Temptation In this respect, Hotshot told Carl that he was a fool. "Better take on everything that looks good to you," he had advised. But Carl hadn't, although on some of the lonely, glamorous nights he had spent sitting on the doorstep of his little cabin, or in walking through the moonlit woods, he had been greatly tempted to seek Elmira or Melissa, or some of the others who had displayed a willingness to receive his attentions. On these poignant nights he thought of the distant, lovely Antoinette, and of his future in Chicago. But curiously enough, he found himself dreading a letter from his banker friend, Anton Bigal, bidding him to return to Chicago and to a job in the latter's bank. He asked himself why this was, but could find no answer. He found himself still gripped by a spell of expectancy that he could not define or understand. Momentarily he expected something to happen—something which would be unlike the experiences of his past life; but day after day melted into the next, and the interesting but humdrum life of the plantation continued without a break. Shortly after dark one night Hotshot came to Carl's cabin. "Boy, you shouldn't hang 'roun' this yere place so stiddy," he remonstrated. "Why you don' come on down t' th' scronchin' groun's with me t'night? Sally's Bud," he continued a little chagrined, "has done come back, and Sally say she better wait twill a day er two fo' she puts him out." "Sally's Bud is likely to whale the dickens out of you!" Carl warned laughingly. "I hear he's what you might call a tough customer." "The tougher they air," Hotshot declaimed, "the easier they is to carve!" He lit his corn-cob pipe and puffed for a few minutes in silence. Then he said: "Well, how 'bout comin' on to the scronchin' groun's, Carl? We'll set back 'mongst the trees and jes' look on. How 'bout it?" Carl arose to his feet and stretched his arms skyward. "Sure, I'll come Continued in Column 5 on this Page ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—October 4, 1930 SYNOPSIS 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 bank 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 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. 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. Carl and Hotshot are assigned to a cabin near the "big house." Carl notes the pleasure which the dark peasants seem to draw from their humble lives on the plantation. On the way to the fields they pass through a cleared space in the woods which Gene explains is the "scronch circle" in which the workers disport themselves after the day's labor is done. port themselves after the day's labor. In the field Hotshot is at once accepted because of his ready wit, and familiarity with the other pickers. Carl, however, holds aloof because he is unable to "speak their language." Hotshot becomes friendly with Big Sally after he has proved his ability to pick four hundred pounds of cotton. Big Sally after he has proved his ability to plea that night Carl writes to Anton Bigal, the Chicago banker, telling him of his plight, and asking for a position in Bigal's bank. He also writes to Antoinette, his sweetheart in Chicago, whom he thinks he loves. He tells her he is eager to leave the Barre plantation and return to her, but he finds himself oppressed with the sense of some splendid thing about to happen to him. THE DANCE "Show 'em how to shake it, Baby." . . A sinuous movement of the girl's body drew sibilant inhalations from the men. Then she began to weave back and forth languorously. 3 along, Hotshot," he agreed. "Why not?" II "Ef I could holler like a mountin' jack, Ef I could holler like a mountin' jack, I'd go up on de hillside An' call my rider back . . . ." Carl and Hotshot sat deep in the shadows outside the big cleared circle. Within the enclosure a huge fire blazed brightly, throwing into bold relief the cluster of dark faces surrounding it, or casting gigantic shadows past those who danced in close embrace to the strains of a throbbing banjo. The place had a wild barbaric quality, set as it was in the midst of the thick woods that lay between the Barre mansion and the wide cotton fields. It had once been the site of a log church, but slavery days and the church had long since been forgotten. Now it was used by the workers on Colonel Barre's plantation as a meeting place where, after the day's labor was done, the dark peasants could gather, build the big fire, and dance and sing until the moon was low in the sky. "How you like it, boy?" Hotshot asked. "I don't know," Carl confessed with a shaky laugh. "It gets me all stirred up—the music, I guess. If I ever heard any like that when I was a kid in Mississippi, I've forgotten it." Plantation Blues Someone was singing again. Carl bent toward the circle to listen: "De brook run in de river, De river run to de sea, An' ef I run into my daddy Paw'll have to bury me...." "What kind o' blues is that!" Hotshot chortled gleefully. "The kind Langston Hughes writes," Carl replied, as though he were talking to himself. "Shucks! Dey don' write that kind o' blues!" his companion snorted derisively. "Perhaps not," Carl agreed, smiling to himself in the darkness. "Why don't you go on out there and join them. Hotshot?" he suggested. The little man squirmed, then he relapsed back to his position beside his friend. When he spoke there was longing in his tone, although he strove to hide it. "Aw, I ain't so pertickler 'bout clownin' with them guys," he disclaimed. "Out there walkin' th' dog like that." Then he asked, "7/7y you don' get out there and have some fun yo'se'f, boy? I heerd a bunch of them gals talkin' 'bout you today. They said," Hotshot chuckled, "that you sho' was pritty." "They're silly," Carl said shortly. "And besides—" "An' they think you're hincty— diety, sort of, too." "Why?" the youth ejaculated in surprise. "Why should they think me stuck up?" "Well, I reckon it's 'cause you talks so proper," Hotshot commented drily. "I can't help how I talk, Hotshot," Carl told him earnestly. "Right now I wish I could talk—like they do." "That's funny," his companion mused. "Here I am wishin' I could talk like you, an' here you are wishin' you could talk like me." He sighed. "I guess folks ain't never satisfied." Out by the fire the singing had ceased, and the banjo was strumming some melody whose speedy tempo rang through the woods. Someone in the crowd was urging someone else to dance. "Come on out here, Elmira, 'I shake yo' hips! Aw, come on, ole bashful gal! Mek Peco leave you alone, and pats yo' feet!" The girl to whom the remarks were directed was cream-colored, with heavy, lustrous black hair, and was one of the younger women who had shown friendliness for Carl. She sat at the edge of the group half Continued on Fore Four Sentiment and Socks After three such days Old-Bill took a different view of the thing and thought that little Johnnie was ill and so decided to visit the lad. Continued from Last Week "But, Mrs. Larkins, you must have some idea where he is? I ain't seen him for the last four or five days." Old Bill was curious. "All I can say is what he told me—that he was going to learn to become a prize fighter. I did not believe him. But now I guess he was telling the truth," replied Mrs. Larkins. "Yes, he was telling me something about learning to fight and I didn't believe him either. Well, tell him I was here, and ask him how he is making out," were Bill's parting words. During those days when Bill thought Johnnie was playing truant, the subject of his thoughts was in the gymnasium taking instructions from the ex-champion. "Hold your hands up like this!" Gans instructed and gave a demonstration of what he meant. "That's it! Now, shoot the left out quick! Don't push! Jab! You've got to get it out faster than that if you ever expect to hit anybody with it. Now, try again. That's better! Now, imagine there is somebody you don't like and he is fighting you. Keep it up! Hit! You've got two hands; use both of them! Cut out that swinging! Look here, don't draw back like that to hit anybody. Why, that other fellow could get in there and knock your block off. Understand?" There was Johnnie stripped to the waist, wearing one-pound gloves and trying to do his worst to an imaginary opponent as Gans talked and illustrated. After the first five minutes, the boy was blowing hard; a while later, and he could hardly hold his gloved hands up—the gloves had increased their weight four or five times, and now after twelve minutes weighed exactly, according to Johnnie's estimate, fifty pounds each. If the boy were allowed to tell the story, he would tell anyone that he had been shifting and swinging and WEYER'S SurCay Keeps Hair Combed Helps It Grow SUR-LAY is a greaseless liquid hair dressing which milious and bounces a few drops will control stubborn hair and keep it combed all day- also helps hair grow.

Co., Lynn, Mass. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—October 4.1930 jabbing for two or three hours. It was not that long, however, for Gans was as wise a trainer as he was a boxer, and he did not require his charge to overtax his strength. With Gans as his tutor, Larkins had become in less than two months, a well trained little boxer who should have been able to hold his own with any youngster of his age and weight. To this end, Gans had labored to make the boy worthy; so when he thought that the lad was able, he gave him a trial against one of the heaviest boys at the "Y." The crafty master knowing that one lacking in experience is sometimes undone before a contest, by nerves, did not tell Johnnie that he was to box on a certain afternoon. Instead, he had the lad working when his opponent came in. Nor did the other boy, Nathan Carroll, know that he had been selected as Johnnie's trial horse. Young Carroll came in as was his custom, watched Johnnie a while and began to work with the striking bag. Gans, in the meantime, had told the secretary to ask Nathan to box a while with Larkins; and it was done. The two lads met with that enthusiasm known alone to ambition. Gans refereed and the secretary kept time. "How long are you going to let them box?" asked the timekeeper "We'll try them out in two minutes to the round with one for rest. When I see either of them getting tired, I'll call it off," was Gans's reply. So started the first bout in which Johnnie was to be a principal. In the first round, it was a good fight with neither of the boys caring a mite for defensive tactics. Their chief aim, it seemed, was to knock the other completely off the face of the earth in one blow. Consequently, when the two minutes were up, both were tired and blowing like engines. Gans took his boy into a short conference: "You've got to take your time and White Laughter BY WILLIAM T. SMITH Continued from Page Three lying back in a husky brown youth's arms. She smiled boldly, then uncoiled herself and came to the center of the group. The youth whom she left grinned so proudly that his gold teeth flashed in the firelight. "Show 'em how to shake it, baby," he admonished. A sinuous movement of the girl's body drew sibilant inhalations from the men. Then she began to weave back and forth languorously in the narrow space. The gaunt one-eyed player, his long dark fingered hands hovering over the banjo, drew deep, slow, sensual chords from his instrument "Play that thing, One-Eye!" a man shouted. "Boy, whip that box till it mourns!" The dancer wore a thin crimson garment of calico that displayed the fulsome curved beauty of her young body. As she danced her eyes darted over the rapt faces of those who watched her, and in them was something which every man who saw, took to be a personal message to himself. Back in the shadows Hotshot nudged Carl significantly: "Boy, 'ats th' gal what thinks you're hot stuff," he cried. "Now ain't you got a break?" The Bully Admirer Carl laughed. "I'd probably get my head broken if I shined up to her. That big husky boy friend of hers is nobody's plaything." "Shucks!" Hotshot cried disdainfully. "After I seed you smack that big gang boss down I ain't scairt to put you up to anybody on this yere plantation!" "Just the same, I don't have any desire to go around battling—especially over women," the youth told him. They were silent, watching the pretty ivory-skinned girl finish her dance.

Garner kins brought his right up under the chin and sent his opponent reeling backward. It was his chance and he was stepping forward to take advantage of it when the secretary, receiving a signal from Gans, called time. As Gans bent over his boy between rounds he further advised him: "That was fine! But you must not try to knock him out until you are sure. When you go in this time just jab at him and see if you can keep him off. Now don't forget to protect your chin with your right. Keep your elbow in front of your stomach and bang away with your left."

But the dodging and ducking did not last all through the round, for a very unexpected thing happened.

"What's the trouble, father?" I asked with anxiety. "Nothing, dear, nothing," were the sharp words which came from his lips. But I knew that it was something, so I insisted. "But, father," was the rejoinder, as I struggled to my feet from the big arm chair. "Come and sit down while I." but before I could finish "The beautiful chateau . . . w in w the door bell rang and he rushed to answer it. There were two men. My father called them by name and they followed him to the next room and locked the door behind them. But, determined to get the secret of all this mystery, I put my ear to the key-hole. Not a sound could be heard. That increased my suspicion. I started to rap on the door but that would defeat my purpose, was the second thought, so I hastened back to my seat. I again heard them come to the door and out into the hall. My father went out with them and did not return until late in the evening. That night, I heard walking in the hall. In fact, I had waited for it. "There's too much mystery in this house," I said to myself. I heard the floor crack as someone passed my door. The noise stopped at father's room, and, then I heard voices—it was father's voice; but to whom was he talking? I thought as I stumbled down the hall to his room. The door was open. I could hear Mrs. Norah, the housekeeper, in rage, stammering forth, trying not to talk above a whisper. And then she began to scream nervously like someone grilled to confess to a heinous crime. As usual, my father was walking about aimlessly, nervously. I could hear his heavy feet on the floor. Peeping around the frame of the door, I could see him in his night clothes with his hands to his head. He appeared to be in agony; like a man when he's struck by the consciousness of a multitude of guilt. Then he stopped and murmured something to her. I did not hear the words. Then, as though she could restrain herself no longer, she went into a rage, saying: "He is your own son, whether your daughter knows it or not. He is a part of your own flesh HAVE "IT" SHE FEELS RIGHT taking St.Joseph's G.F.P. today.

She continued, as my father sat in the corner holding his head in his hands: "And—and I lived with you for years," she sobbed. "I have borne you one son. You promised to marry me, but you haven't in all these years." as such a striking contrast to the which my mother and I had live I summoned every atom of self-control that I could. I simply had to stand there and hear it all. With a prayer on my lips, that the woman was lying, I listened breathlessly, as she continued: "Now you're deceiving your daughter as you deceived her mother!" she sneered. That was all father could endure. I saw him come to his feet like a mad man. With his eyes fixed upon her, he exclaimed: "Leave my wife and child out of this, do you hear?" Shaking his fist in her face, he continued: "They're not your business." "It is not my business? Anything in your life is my business or I make it so. I don't care a cent for your daughter or you either. You are not fit to be the father of a daughter." "Don't go too far with your tongue," he snarled turning to his drawer and seizing his pistol. I ran quickly between the two. "I have heard enough!" I cried—"enough!" My father fell to his chair overcome by excitement. His heart was failing, and he was gasping for breath as I rushed to him, passing the housekeeper who immediately packed her clothes, and left. There was nothing to be said. I had heard it all. Father had denied nothing. He lay on his bed in a coma. I saw his lips quiver. I put my arms around him, held his head with my hand just in time to hear him say, almost inaudibly, "Sorry, dear, I've tried so hard to make you happy by giving you the material things of life, but now I realize that's not enough. Kiss me my baby." Then he die; gone to join the only woman who had loved him; gone to the silent halls of death. "Poor father." Perhaps he did his best with the weak frame he had. I was heartbroken. What would I ever do without my father. I loved him so dearly and he had been my only companion. I cared for him for mother's sake because I knew she loved him. With tender memories, I put them both together back in the little town where their love had started. To assuage my grief, I went to a city apartment. One day I saw my lawyer who said that there was nothing left. Everything lost. There was barely enough to last two months. My father had been a "gentleman," a man who never worked, whose great business was "doubling dollars." He spent his money as he made it, jeopardizing the happiness of others. Like so many men, he passed over real opportunity to live and love, with his heart on the mirage of fabu- lous wealth which only receded as he rushed toward it. How much more happy would his life have been had he taken the opportunity near by, even though hard work was involved. Surely mother would have lived and he would have enjoyed a longer span of life. But, I had to work. I had never worked before. but I had to learn to make me own honest living. the little dilapidated . . . home ed." Since then I have longed for my mother. It's far better to be a "mama's girl," and at least learn to care for yourself, than to be a "papa's daughter" finding yourself materially rich but helpless in the end.

If a lad can do a thing and believes he can do ‘other things, he does not hesitate to tell it to his world. Let it be said here and now that little Johnnie Larkins was just as much boy as most lads, and had not risen to that stage of false modesty which makes men say they do not want a thing when they know deep down in their hearts that it is the only thing they do want. Johnnie had net grown se unas- suming that he dared not say what he believed because his sense of propriety would forbid.

Instead he looked as if he was out to even up matters with Larkins. A right swing by Carroll caught Johnnie on the hand and drove it into the latter's face, causing blood to ooze from his nose. The sight of blood fired Carroll’s fury to a new pitch and he went after his lighter opponent with such ferocity that the little fellow had no time to jab. He was too busy blocking right and left swings that endangered his head and body. Larkins was very glad when the round was over, Carroll had rushed him so fast around the little square that he had to stop a moment and seek with anxious eyes his corner when the end was signalled. “Why didn’t you jab as I told you?” Gans complained, “He might have hit me if I had jab- bed,” was Johnnie’s answer. “Every fighter gets hit sometimes. If you expect to beat the man who beat me, you must not be afraid of getting hit. Now do as I tell you! Go in there and when he starts to swing, jab and jab hard!” Gans's tones became scornful as he continued: “Afraid of getting hit! Don't let him hit you if you can help it, but be sure that you do some of the hitting yourself.” During the fourth round Gans went over to Nathan's corner to talk to the secretary. “That little fellow is all right. I'll make a champion out of him yet. See that left! If I had only had someone to tell me what to do when I was his age I would have been champion ten years sooner than I was. Look at that neat right! I could not have done better myself,” Gans said as he watched his protege make the best showing of the four rounds. “That is all right, but you must remember that you have been teach- ing that boy for more than two months and the other lad has not had a person to give him a hand,” the sec- retary replied. “Maybe you're right. But still I like the way the little fellow works. See, his very feet move like a nat- ural boxer’s should. And such per- fect work with the left! He will be—” The secretary called time. “That is enough for today, boys. Some other time you two can box again. Go and get a rub down now, and then get for home,” Gans told the lads. While boxing the last round, John- nie had not failed to give an atten- tive ear to what was being said about him.

THE MAGIC SHAVING POWDER CQ, SAVANNAH, GA. AMAZING STORIES The Author has below started a series of extraordinary hypothetical stories which draw heavily upon the imagination but which pique the curiosity of the thinking reader, by projecting the reader several years into the future, when doubtless air travel will have practically supplanted land travel, when science will have achieved the "impossible" in effecting frequent and comparatively easy communication with the planet Mars, and when life will have become completely controlled by the limitless possibilities of scientific invention. Not only are these stories ingenious but stimulate breath-taking thrills, by depicting the possibilities of life on the earth many years after the present generation has become extinct. The author has indeed a vivid and picturesque imagination and you must agree that he writes with astonishing reality. THE SHOT INTO SPACE BY JOHN P.

I had not, y that my simple bachelor life suddenly into the realms of h IT WAS NINE o'clock in the morning of September 8, A.D., 2030—to me, merely the turning of another rather dull page in the existence of, as my more generous friends usually introduced me, S. Q. Brent, well-known Negro novelist. I had not, you see, even the slightest hint that my simple bachelor life was destined to be lifted so suddenly into the realms of high adventure! As usual, I arose precisely at nine. Bennett, my faithful manservant, entered my sleeping chamber and we exchanged the morning's greetings. "Good morning, Bennett," I yawned.

And you will breakfast here?" science," I remarked, crossing toward the bath, while Bennett set about expertly laying out my morning clothes. Bennett I had found to be a most exceptional servant, something of a "I expect I had better," I decided, getting into my robe. And then, stretching luxuriously: "Do you ever, Bennett, become lazy?—lose interest in your work?" The little man's dark face became suddenly blank and then lighted up into a smile. I had a hearty laugh. Bennett scratched his head. "Well, sir—if I may be excused for saying it—I think we all do, at times. For instance, when you find dust on your books, sir, I'm lazy!" "That, Bennett," I laughed, "is excellent consolation. Certainly it is good to know that other people have the same weaknesses I have. You see, I can't seem to get started on my next story—can't get my mind off of the finished one!" "No wonder, sir—that story was a corker! Gee wilikins!—do you think men will ever do such things—travel to Mars?" "Sure, Bennett! Why not? They've been talking about it for a hundred years—since back in 1930. It's about time someone did something about it, I'd say. . . . You heard about Archibald Layton's experience with his rocket ship a few years ago? You did!" "Also, sir," my man added, "I saw some photos which were taken after his contraption crashed back to Earth. Ugh!—it must have been an awful end, sir!

PART ONE science," I remarked, crossing toward the bath, while Bennett set about expertly laying out my morning clothes. Bennett I had found to be a most exceptional servant, something of a bookworm. During two years' employment as caretaker of my Philadelphia apartment, he had, I'll wager, read every book in my library. Also, I could always depend on him to come to me shortly after my books were published and say, "This last one, sir, is a corker! Gee wilikins!" Add to this the fact that he was an excellent cook, and you can readily understand that I valued him most highly. Then suddenly, the machine I was in only God k AIRPLANE Then suddenly, the machine I was in shot into the air and headed for . . . only God knew where! It was not unnatural, then, that when a certain thought struck me, I did not hesitate to address Bennett from the bath room. "By the way," I inquired, "any news over the radio this morning concerning H. S. Turner, the scientist?" and I sensed that Bennett paused in what he was doing, and moved nearer the door. "Turner, sir?—Oh, you mean the millionaire who mysteriously disappeared some weeks ago? Yes, there Sentiment and Socks Continued from Page Six low had to prove to his enemy and his enemy's friends that he was what he said, he was successful in securing for himself five black eyes and several swollen jaws without really impressing his antagonists of his ability as a genuine fighter. The results did not rest so well with Johnnie. He knew that he could beat any of the boys that had taken him at his word and proved him wrong. Further, he did not relish the idea of having them provoke him, as they had begun to do, with the taunting jest that he was a prize fighter. There was something wrong and Johnnie knew it. He had done his best against those who had beaten him, still, he had come out on the wrong side—he had either to make use of his legs or someone had come to a timely rescue and pulled the other fellow off of him. That was altogether wrong. No prize fighter had any business on the bottom side of a fight with a boy who did not know the first thing about the ring. Yet, it was true; and Johnnie had a problem to solve as well as bruises to curse. He would have consulted Gans but ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—October 4, 1930 Brent Receives A Mysterious Visitor was a short talk on the subject, sir. Nothing new, though. The announcer repeated the same old story—except that they now believe he was suffering from some sort of mental disorder. He was last seen at the flying field atop the Spaulding Building, in Denver, and they have been unable to trace him further. Wonder why he sold the manufacturing rights of three of his latest inventions for a mere two million. Certainly he could have got twice that amount later on. And why did he pledge the Detroit firm to secrecy?" "God only knows!" I cried. "Another of those unsolvable affairs, I presume." . . . So began this memorable morning of September 8, A.D., 2030! MY FIRST KNOWLEDGE that this day would likely turn out to be unusually interesting came a half hour later, while I was seated at breakfast sipping orange juice and scanning over my mail. Quite abruptly the breakfast door before me opened and Bennett, his face masked in a slight frown—a thing he never did—came into the room talking in whispers, and only when he was bending over me did I understand what he was saying. "There is a man outside, sir, who wishes to see you at once," he whispered. "I told him that you were occupied; but . . ." "His card, Bennett." "He has no card, sir. I—you will pardon me, Mr. Brent, but I'd suggest that you not see him—he's a most suspicious looking individual." shot into the air and headed for . . . new where! "Oh, he is, eh? Well, I'll see the man. Show him into the library, Bennett, until I have finished breakfasting." My man bent lower. "But, sir," he frowned, "he insists on seeing you immediately . . . Frankly, I believe if I let him into the apartment, he will find you at once." . . Ha! Here was something interesting! "Then," I smiled, "perhaps you had better show him in. . . Yes, I'll see nt and Soc the latter had gone away to prepare for his last bout—a fight with Jabez White, the Englishman. He would have explained to Gans how the other fellows had come into him as he fought them and tripped him up and then continued to mistreat him after he lay upon the ground. That was no way for anyone to treat the person who was to beat the man who had beaten a champion. It was outrageous! Johnnie knew that it was contrary to custom for a decent respectable prize fighter to be treated in such an uncouth manner. It must have been then that those who abused him so, did not know that they were violating all the rules of custom. They should be taught fight ethics, and learn to respect a man who was to beat the man who had beaten a champion. And, besides, if he had not yet beaten a champion, he was a prize fighter, and he intended to be a great one. Those were Johnnie's chief thoughts as he boxed an imaginary opponent in the same manner that he had done under the instruction of the worthy Gans. And now his opponents were persons who had battered his jaw and caused his brown eyes to him now, Bennett. Curiosity, you know!" A moment later, Bennett, preceded by a tall dark individual who was inclined to limp slightly, re-entered the room—about thirty-five, unshaven, small piggish black eyes, attired in ill-fitting and very dusty corduroy flying togs, heavy boots. It was Bennett's custom to leave the room immediately after showing in visitors, but now I noticed that he lingered just inside of the door, as if expecting something to happen. And well he might. Certainly my visitor could be termed suspicious looking. He stood there with his leather helmet rolled in one fist, and huge fur-lined gloves in the other. Then he turned and regarded Bennett, who did not attempt to conceal his distrust. "Well, my man," I began, "what can I do for you?" To my surprise, he did not answer. Instead, he worked his small eyes from side to side very rapidly. This raised my ire. "If," I said, "you wish to speak with me you must do so at once." Now get this for impudence! He turned again toward Bennett — and addressed me! "I must see you alone." he announced in a deep bass voice. I nodded toward my man and he withdrew, but I had a feeling that he merely closed the door and listened from the outside. "You will please proceed to make known to me your errand here," I directed. "I bear a message of great importance, sir." "From whom?" "I am instructed not to answer questions." "Indeed." "I am merely to say that if you will be at the air field atop the Negro Times Building, in St. Louis, at eight o'clock you will be escorted to my employer, who wishes to interview you on a matter of great importance," . . And to my utter bewilderment, even as the words left his lips, my strange visitor swung around and started for the door. Before I could recover sufficiently to attempt to detain him—he was gone! Imagine that! The incident left me in a quandary. Throughout the rest of the day I was possessed with various perspectives. At times I was confident that my visitor was a criminal of some sort—Philadelphia was overrun with them. More than once I was on the point of notifying the police. Then again, a sense of adventure would possess me and I would pace the length of my study with a deep smile on my face—only to stop shortly and frown! The upshot of the thing was that at five o'clock I rang for Bennett and directed that he pack me an overnight bag, as I was leaving for St. Louis—and you should have seen Bennett's face! AT THREE MINUTES to eight o'clock that evening, having made the trip from Philadelphia via swift aerial express. I was sitting in the waiting James A. Garner become black. As he jabbed he imagined that he saw this fellow's head rebound under the impact. As he hooked, he could see that boy's feet lifted clear of the floor as the result of the union of his gloved hand with the other's ribs. He no longer visualized some person whom he knew not; it was the Smith boy, the Jones boy, or some of their group that Johnnie now punched with such vigor that he could feel the pull of his own blows. Young Larkins had several real fights while he shadow-boxed, and each fight resulted quite contrary to the way in which it had ended when the man whom Johnnie fought was imaged and not very unpleasantly present.

Never in all my thirty-three years of life had I experienced such a feeling of tingling expectation. The hundreds of arriving and departing passengers, the spasmodic roar of aircraft engines outside, and the blending of a thousand different voices—all seemed far away. Suddenly a deep voice came to my attention. It came from the giant speaker in the middle of the ceiling. "Mr. S. Q. Brent!" it was bellowing. "Mr. S. Q. Brent!

When she had almost reached him a huge form upreared from a place close to the fire and stood in her way. The man was a veritable giant, and with the greatest ease he lifted her from her feet into his great arms. Peco, who had started to meet her, halted abruptly, then his broad visage contorted into quick anger. "Bogo, you let my gal be," he cried sharply. The big man set the girl down deliberately. "You speakin' to me?" he asked with grim politeness. Peco wavered, then he spoke, although perviously. "Yes, I was. Just 'cause you're big as the side of a house, don' think you kin tek eny gal you want." "What was you calculatin' to do 'bout hit?" Bogo asked in the same coldly dangerous tones he had used before. "You let Peco be!" Elmira cried suddenly. "An' you let me be, too, you big ape!" Bogo pushed the girl behind him with a careless movement of his hand. The group around the fire had grown tense, and some of them were edging away from the fire. The dark giant, his thin patched blue shirt showing his python-like muscles moved toward Peco slowly. "What is you gwine to do 'bout hit?' he asked Peco again. The youth thrust his hand quickly into his pocket, but before he could draw out his knife Bogo buffeted him on the head with one huge paw, and the smaller man sprawled on the ground, motionless. Elmira screamed, then leaped at Bogo, clawing at his face. Bogo pushed her away contemptuously and strode through the quiet group. "I wouldn't have you," he threw disdainfully over his shoulder. "You ain't woman enuff for me!" "That big gorilla is gonna be got some of the days on this plantation," Hotshot muttered. "Well, let's you and me stay out of," C' said. "He's big enough to lick us both." "He don' bother us, us don' bother him," the little man said with forceful lack of elegance. "But he don' like you 'cause ole Kunnel Barre done made you weigher out in th' fiel's. I notice him look you kinda hard the second day ole boss man made you boss-cotton weigher. He want to be foreman, and I spect he figgers you gonna beat his time." "He needn't worry," Carl said quietly. "I've got almost enough money to get back up north. I won't stand in his way." "The Kunnel 'll be sorry when he finds out you goin' t' leave him," shotton mused. "He done took a pow'ful likin' to you. He look at you kinda funny and call you 'Son.'"

A uniformed attendant took me in charge, and I followed him to the vast roof, above gritting my teeth and vowing to see this thing through. I was still doing so when we rounded a huge hangar and came upon a powerfully built little cabin plane. Its engines were roaring thunderously, and before its open cabin door stood a tall dark, gloved, and helmeted man—my mysterious visitor! Precisely at that moment a great commotion sounded behind me. I swung around. Three men were rushing headlong toward us, and, to my amazement, one of them was Bennett! I started toward them—but a pair of strong arms caught me from behind and dragged me bodily into the waiting plane, and even as I was forced into a chair I heard a shot, hoarse commands, shouts, curses— Then suddenly the machine I was in shot into the air and headed for...
