Josephine Becton Minister Raps Planet Writer Continue Services At Leigh St Church Says "Tuberculosis Is Foe Of Youth" In Urging Sale Of Christmas Seals VOLUME XLVIII. No. 5 WIL ISTE Mini Consoli Propose N.A.A.C.P. Sha Says "Tuberculosis In Urging Sale C Race Body's Message Hits Lynch Law That the rising tide of lynchings and mob violence this year brings every believer in human brotherhood face to face with his share of responsibility for the critical race problem in this country is the claim put forth by the Race Relations Sunday Message issued today by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, 106 East 22nd Street, New York, in its call for the observance of Race Relations Sunday, February 8 next year. The statement points out that there have been twenty-one victims of moos, mostly Negroes, the first ten months of this year, a larger number than in any year save one since 1924. "Of what were these victims guilty?" asks the message. "Some of them were not even accused of any crime; some had not had a trial to determine the truth or falsity of the accusations against them; a few were awaiting the execution of orderly court action. The law has been trampled under foot in their murderous execution." The message holds that America is now at the cross-roads of interracial adjustment. "One way," it states "leads to increasing antagonism, prejudice, hatred, and violence; the other way to understanding, goodwill, cooperation and fellowship. The turmoil in India, the chaos in China, the unrest in Africa and other lands need the example of methods in peaceful group adjustment which America may work out. The Churches of America have a golden opportunity to show the way of good will among Caucasians, Negroes, Mexicans, Indians and Orientals, and our many foreign-speaking groups. The size of our population, the extent of our material wealth in fields, forests, mines and machines; the principles of political equality and religious idealism we profess, all place upon us a responsibility for such action which we cannot ignore. The Churches of America should furnish a field for practical experience in applying the Christian ethic of universal love to the problems of race." After citing the cosmopolitan character of the appeal of our population and urging that Race Relations Sunday be the occasion of renewing our vows to live by the fundamental religious ideals of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, the message concludes, "The world is searching for better relationships between individuals and racial groups. The steamship, the radio, the aeroplane, and the other material inventions have brought peoples of different countries and customs closer together. The world needs to acquire a real Christian insight into the relations of races and an historical per- (Continued on page 3) "The foe of youth," was the description given to tuberculosis by Dr. Livingston Farrand, president of Cornell University, speaking over the radio network of the National Broadcasting Company. "There is some justification," said Dr. Farrand, for singling out this one enemy of youth, for more persons die today of this disease in the first decade of maturity than from any other cause. It is true that there has been a reduction in the tuberculosis death rate among the general population to less than nalf of that of twenty years ago, but its ravages among the youth of the country are still a chief concern of public health authorities." Dr. Farrand stated that in Chautauqua County, New York, practically every school child in the county was examined, in all, 30,000, taking them as they came, without reference to apparent good or ill health. Results showed that students were playing on athletic teams, who nevertheless had active tuberculosis requiring complete rest for treatment. "In its early form the disease may be totally without symptoms, added Dr. Farrand. "It can only be discovered in time to promise the greatest hope of successful treatment when the tuberculin test and the X-ray are used. Is it any wonder that this disease has been called not only the foe of youth, but the 'ambushed' foe of youth? "The disease usually starts in childhood, lies quiet for several or many years, and breaks out at the time of greatest weakness from overstrain, overwork, or illness. Modern science has given us the means for knowing in any given child or youth whether the danger exists or not. This danger cannot always be discovered by the usual physical examination, for the ambush is well laid in the body and can only be found by the penetrating X-rays. Of course, the natural processes of the body are resisting tuberculosis, and helping to create immunity, but this resistance can be weakened by strain. High school days—college days as well—are full of temptations to overdo. "The public schools and the colleges of the country are doubtless to be the arena for this new battle on behalf of youth. For twenty-five years tuberculosis associations have been telling us that tuberculosis is preventable, and they have proved it. Now they say that we must center our efforts on students in the schools of the nation, and they ask our help. Certainly every available resource of our educational establishment must be placed at their disposal. It is impossible to scrutinize the new scientific knowledge they have had a part in acquiring and disseminating without agreeing with them that Tuberculosis indeed is the foe of youth." The Virginia Tuberculosis Association, through its County and City branches is carrying on a continuous warfare against this foe of youth, and this year is offering for sale twenty-one and a half million Christmas seals—the ammunition for the fight. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1930 Appointee Bars Negroes From Labor Unions New York, Dec. 5—President Hoover's nomination of William N. Doak to be a member of his Cabinet as Secretary of Labor, brought toady a shary public letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People condemning the appointment on the ground of Mr. Doak's and his union's anti-Negro attitude. "We recognize the right of the President to appoint his official family," says the N. A. A. C. P. statement released by Acting Secretary Walter White, "as represented by the Cabinet, without outside interference except in extraordinary circumstances. The N. A. A. C. P. will therefore take no action in opposing confirmation of William N. Doak as Secretary of Lbor "The N. A. A. C. P., however, views with great regret the appointment to so important a post of one who has in so many ways shown himself to be completely lacking in sympathy with the aims of Negro labor. On last January 21st we formally urged upon the President that he familiarize himself with all the facts concerning Mr. Doak's anti-Negro labor activities. In our formal protest we wrote Mr. Hoover that Mr. Doak 'represents something which is of vital importance to the American Negro. He is a member of a great trade union which will not allow Negroes to be members under any circumstances. He not only carries out the directions of this trade union as its head, but in addition to that, he has been for years active in trying to deprive American Negroes of their right to labor in any capacity on the railroads. We have proof of this activity on his part which we would be very glad to lay before you if you should wish. Under such circumstances, it seems to us that it would be most unfortunate to have a man at the head of the great Department of Labor whose activities have been openly in opposition to the American Negro's right to work.' "This protest was acknowledged on January 22nd by one of the President's secretaries but no request was ever made for the material which we were anxious to lay before the President. "The attitude of American Negroes on Doak's appointment can best be summed up in the editorial statement made in the March issue of the Crisis which reads: "To put a man of this kind in the Cabinet as Secretary of Labor, would be the grimmest joke ever perpetrated at the expense of a long suffering people. There are in the United States numbers of well-meaning folk who ask insistently why Negroes as a mass are the enemies of American Labor, and why they are available for scabs and strike-breakers. One terse answer is Doak." Advocates Declare Plan Feasible Reliable sources reveal the fact that one of the most forward-looking and efficient steps ever proposed to a church here was presented to Ebenezer Baptist Church recently. Under the plan proposed, Ebenezer, Sharon, Mt. Hermon and Good Will Baptist Churches would be asked to appoint committees to discuss the project and form a laison body to act as a clearing house for discussion and action in the premises. The plan was proposed by Messrs. E. R. Storrs and J. Henry Peters, progressive young lay members of Ebenezer. It has not been ascertained how the ministers of these churches stand on this question. Our informant indicated that the ministers had not as yet made any statement relative to the matter. Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph.D., Rev. R. H. Johnson, Rev. Percy Lipscomb and Rev. R. H. Ball are pastors of the churches. The constitution was tabled at Ebenezer, but it is understood that the matter will be brought up at a later date. The text of the resolution follows: Richmond, Va., Dec. 8, 1930. To the Officers and Members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church—Greeting: We hold that in this age of consolidation for preservation and more efficiency in conducting institutions, the Church should not be in any way disadvantaged by failure to take these steps when it seems possible anc convenient to do so. Regardless of how good we seem to be at present, there is room for improvement. Improvement in church organization, improvement in financing, improvement in furthering the cause of Christ in Richmond. Any steps we may take to bring about this improvement is well-pleasing in His insight and should accomplish that for which He intended—the placing of the Kingdom of God in the hearts of men and women of our fair city. With these facts in mind we are recommending to our Church that we make the first move in a consolidation that would bring great results to the Kingdom in general and Ebenezer and other churches in particular. To that end we move that it be resolved by Ebenezer Baptist Church in business session assembled. That we approach Sharon Baptist Church, Good Will Baptist Church, Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, through a communication sent by our clerk, duly authorized, asking that they appoint a committee to confer with a similar committee selected by our Church on the advisability of consolidating these Church units into one large and efficient unit.

The occasion was the convening of special stockholders meetings of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company and the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company for the purpose of voting on an agreement of Merger and Consolidation of the two Banks. The meeting of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company was presided over by its President, Attorney James T. Carter and President, Emmett C. Burke presided at the meeting of the Stockholders of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company. After roll call of stockholders, showing more than three fourths of the outstanding stock was represented in person or by proxy, the meeting was declared open for the transaction of the specific business for which it was called. The agreement was read in a clear and distinct voice by Secretary Treasurer Walter S. Banks. It was adopted without a dissenting vote. The President appointed Mr J. E. Harris and Dr. Leon Reid as a committee to notify President Carter of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company of the action of the stockholders of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company and invite him and his officers, directors and stockholders into a joint meeting. The rooms were taxed to accommodate the more than five hundred men and women who had put over the most worth while project of the present century. All business and professions were represented. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company was called upon by the President to welcome the lastest addition to our business family. In her inimitable manner and a clear musical voice she electrified the vast assemblage by calling to their attention the possibilities that were just ahead. She mentioned the old reliable, viz: the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company, the Southern Aid Insurance Company and the National Ideal Benefit Society, the Imperial Order of King David, the Ten years ago while attending one of Rev. Josephine Becton's meetings in West 135th street, Mrs. Becton whom I am sure didn't know me and probably had never seen me before signalled me out and pointing her finger straight at me remarked, "I see you as a great writer—you are going to write a book—and I can see you before lots of people on the stage." "You will be a wonderful actress." The woman being thus spoken to was Mercedes Gilbert, who true to the prediction of the great gifted woman Evangelist, has since appeared before thousands of people in the world's most noted drama, "Green Pastures," and Miss Gilbert has written a book entitled—"Selected Gems of Poetry, Comedy and Drama" which is now being published by a Boston book concern and will be off press ready for public reading in early Spring. $2.00 PER YEAR; 5 CENTS PER COPY MIN- ne Becton Continue Services AtLeighStChurch He related the fact that, the "amplifier" had been very close to him, having upon one occasion taken dinner at his (Dr. Parhams) home and having at all times previous posed as a friend and brother, and the fact that Mr. James came to his home, after hearing of the unfortunate incident under the guise of a friend and then to go out and try to destroy the reputation and influence of the man whom he called friend was a disheartening thing. He pointed out that "it would not have been so bad if he had not posed as a friend, waxing dramatic he thundered "any man that would do the thing that he (Mr. James) has done would steal the shroud from his dead mothers back," he reiterated, "rather strong, but I say it, any man who would do the thing that Mr. James Says The Amplifier Betrayed Him By Staff Correspondent At Mosby Memorial Baptist church on last Sunday, Dr. S.

(Continued on Page 3) Richmond's New Enterprise Richmond's New Enterprise We are publishing in this weeks issue a most unusual ad, the full page advertisement of an industrial enterprise. It is about the proposed laundry plant of C. S. & E. Laundry. It is unusual in several ways. A full page advertisement of a colored enterprise is unusual to begin with. We rather suspect our people have been too backward about industrial enterprises. A second unusual thing about this advertisement is that it is an offer to sell first mortgage notes of a colored enterprise to colored people. Several such offers are generally contained in each newspaper each day, but we think this is the first time a colored enterprise has shown such forward stems. Another unusual thing about it is the care which the officers of this company have taken to safeguard the publics interest. The officers are all high class men with their own incomes. The trustees and alternate trustees are men of the same stripe. Yet the deed states that all the money from the sale of these notes must be immediately deposited in bank, shown exactly what the money can be spent for, stipulates that not one cent may be withdrawn until the check has the signatures of four of these men, and that each check must state on its face to whom the money is actually to be paid and exactly for what it is to be paid. Anybody can see from this that no thoughtful and honest man would take the chance of doing anything wrong with this money because there would be no escape from the law, but the officers who have to sign all checks, made the deed procide that each and every man, including themselves should be personally responsible for double any amount proven to have been withdrawn on a check signed by himself but not in accordance with the provisions of the deed. This makes a responsibility of $8.00 for every $1.00 which could be wrongly withdrawn and each and every one of the men is worth something. It really seems like the beginning of a new era for colored corporations. We do not advise anybody else as to what they should do or should not do, but we think it is due to these people to say we thought so well of their proposition that we have subscribed to their issue of notes. Preaching to overflowing crowds each night at Leigh Street M. M. E. Church, Mrs. Josephine Becton continues to sway her Richmond followers, after a temporary set-back last Tuesday night when certain remarks caused Rev. R. M. Williams Pastor, to hesitate and consider whether or not the services should continue. There was much speculation during the day Wednesday and The Planet. Office was besieged by anxious followers who wanted to know just what had been done and whether the services would continue at Leigh Street. Rev. Williams and Mme. Becton conferred early Wednesday and reached an understanding. He visited The Planet and informed us that the services would continue. Rev. Becton said she had naught against the pastor and that she was ready to continue. The cause of the misunderstanding seemed to center around certain remarks made by Rev. Becton, which were derogatory, and which said remarks, Pastor Williams said he would not countenance in his pulpit. Rev. Williams's misunderstanding with the Becton party, the noted female evangelist in a special compromising interview with the Pastor explained the meaning of her heated flaying of Richmond ministers. That the party will continue its meetings to satisfy Dr. Williams and his church, was asserted by Rev. (Mrs.) Becton, in a statement issued to the congregation. I am often misunderstood. I talk in this pulpit like I do in all pulpits. It was not my intention to make trouble I whip ministers everywhere who aren't living right. I speak only the truth. I hit hard and pile up. Dr. Williams asked me to come here, the people of Richmond wanted me to come. I speak as the Holy Spirit direct me." "I meant no harm, I was preaching the gospel and the church needs more women like me to tell the truth. I am willing to forgive and forget, and let the devil know that he couldn't do us any harm. I am proud of Dr. Williams, but unless I can work free and can speak as the Spirit tells me. If I can't hit the dirty preachers who aren't living right, I'll not stay. I wont stay anywhere I am muzzled." Dr. Williams turned the pulpit over to the Evangelist and she continues her meeting. (Continued from Page 2) Interest In N.A.A.G.P.

This will be the Governor's first address to the Negroes of this city since his inauguration and it is quite beffitting that he should deliver his first address in this old historic church. The following committee is in charge of the program: Horace H. Scott, Richard Thompkins and Chas. W. Robinson. EDITORIALS BUY CHRISTMAS HEALTH SEALS PAGE TWO THE PLANET EDITO Help Buy The campaign conducted each year for the sale of Tuberculosis Stamps is a movement worthy of our serious efforts. Tuberculosis is a dreaded foe of the human race and its ravages have been a source of worry for years. Many of our fellow citizens in Richmond have succumbed to its attacks, and many times we have watched friends slowly pass saway. Medical science mobilized its forces and succeeded in mapping out a program that has decreased the deaths from this cause to more than half of the casualties usually recorded in a year's period. By buying these stamps we aid in the fight on the forces on the front line. 1. O. KING DAVID MAKE FINE PURCHASE The Imperial Order of King David, under the leadership of Mrs. Adelaide G.

Mrs. Taylor stated to our reporter that she would not use the site for official headquarters of the organization, but that the lodge rooms there would be utilized for lodges of the Order. The King Davids are making rapid strides and have received high commendation for their work from the State Department of Insurance.

During a course in race relation, the writer was assigned the task to read many newspapers, and to make report at the end of a month as to the Negro news in white dailies. This report would make interesting reading. Negro crime and white man's lynching of the Negro received great headlines on front pages. Anything that served to lessen the worth of the Negro and to inflame hatred owed him was front page matter, while all that was opposite, if it appeared at all, found itself in the most obscure place. Whenever anything good appeared about the Negro, on the front page, it was either something about "an old-time darkey," or about some white movement in behalf of the Negro, or some Negro had sung before some white people. Something "white" had to be in it to get it worthy of front page location. (3) Negro Faces Soldom do Negro faces appear in white newspapers, unless they be the faces of criminals, or unless the Negroes are connected with some movement managed by white people. The only Negro faces other than criminal the writer recalls seeing in the Richmond white newspapers during the last ten years have been those in connection with the Community Fund Movement. On the other hand, Negro criminal faces appear frequently. But for the Negro press, the Negro boy and girl would have little or no idea of the likeness of great Negro men and women.

Are There Too Many Negro Papers? The writer is of the opinion that there are too many Negro papers, as there are too many other things. One good newspaper in any city is sufficient for the Negroes. The idea of combination is becoming popular. It is hoped that the Negro newspaper will profit by this possibility. Many Negroes do not buy Negro papers. If all the Negroes in each city bought Negro newspapers, even then the circulation would be none too great. The white papers can count on Negroes among their subscribers, but Negroes cannot anticipate white subscribers to any great degree. Since it is the matter of circulation that determines advertising rates, and it is advertisement that supports the paper, all depends in he last analysis upon the support that Negroes give their own press. writer is of the opinion that there are too there are too many other things.

THE THIRTEEN MOST Gifted Negroes In The United States BY EUGENE GORDON, Brilliant Essayist An extraordinary article promised our readers some time ago, will appear in the at an early date (3) Negro Faces HITS AND BITS BY JOE SIMPSON It has occurred to us that there are thousands of Negroes in these United States in general and in Richmond in particular that have never read the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES; therefore, beginning next week we will publish in this column one section of the Constitution each week, together with the number of the article under which it is to be found. This practice will continue until the first seven original articles as well as the nineteen Amendments will have been printed. LOCAL ANESTHETIC Hundreds of people have asked me why we so seldom laud the race for its ATTAINMENTS, or point out to it its VIRTUES? The reason for this is obvious, "A LITTLE PRAISE now and then acts as a STIMULANT to a race or an individual, it urges him on to greater heights, but an OVERDOSE of PRAISE bestowed either upon a race or an individual is a DANGEROUS THING; it has a tendency to pervert the MIND, destroy the PERSPECTIVE and stifle the AMBITION and WILL-POWER of the race or individual upon whom it is bestowed. That's why we do not not administer this SLEEP PRODUCING DRUG; he has had an overdose of it already. ON ITS LAST LEGS The recent meeting held in the Washington Auditorium, in the "NATION'S CAPITAL," and the recent happening in the famous and fashionable Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New York, the Leigh Street Church affair this week, coupled with many other notable incidents that have happened during the past year, has only served to confirm our belief that organized Christianity is riding at a fall, it is traveling like a motive at full speed, leader height for a stone wall, and if something is not done in the near future to divert its course, the end will be nothing short of a calamity. ONLY A PART OF OUR DUTY EVERY NEGRO in the city of Richmond is hereby urged to make it a point to go to the CONSOLIDATED BANK AND TRUST COMPANY building, corner First and Marshall Street, and start a CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CARD, and to do their level best to keep up some until the end of the year. This institution is OWNED, OPERATED and HOPES TO BE FINANCED BY NEGROES; it must not be permitted to suffer the same FATE as the LAWN-TOWN SHOES COMPANY. NOT WHAT'S ON TOP, BUT WHAT'S INSIDE "Among the latest patents issued by the U. S. Patent Office that was assigned to Aeronautics, was one granted to HUGH J. ROSS, a NEGRO of Cliffwood, New Jersey on a new and IMPROVED type of airship, which provides a much SPEEDIER and SAFER passenger carrying craft, than has ever heretofore been constructed." "he ship is of theighter-than-air type, and can be anchored IN MID AIR. Passengers and freight can be transferred from ship to ship as they bridge one to the other at a standstill, that insures perfect safety," all of which goes to show that "GENIUS KNOWS NO COLOR," and is not averse to reposing in a brain that rests in a skull on the top of which grows a generous crop of KINKY HAIR. GONE TO THE DOGS Many fathers and mothers today lament the fact that their offspring are not turning out to be what they expected them to be, never once bearing in mind the fact that they are to blame in most instances. Punishing children for doing the things that they are to rude children; we must so live that it will be a source of pleasure and pride to see our children follow in our footsteps. If they go to THE DOGS, they're following YOU. GOODWILL BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. W. B. Bell makes tour to Washington, D.

VIEWS OF THE PUBLIC A ONE-CENT CHRISTMAS STORY I won't buy a stick of candy. I buy no newspapers nowadays. I can't even go to Sunday-school alone. I car think of more things I used to do that I am no longer allowed to do than any austrian in the world. Eleven months in the year I am good for nothing. But in December—oh, boy! Then I come into my own. I buy the most beautiful decoration for a 'christmas gift package. I buy hope for the slick. I buy health for a child. I buy happiness for the man that spent me to buy hope and health for someone else. I buy a CHRISTMAS SEAL. "STOP!" SAYS SANTA CLAUS Among the thousands of children hurrying daily to school or play many need to heed the signal of Santa Claus, who directs the Christ mas seal traffic. MERRY CHRISTMAS 1930 HEALTH TO ALL "Watch for the red light." says Santa "When you see it, stop. The red light means danger to health; it means too much strain; short Lours of sleep. I chose the red light," says Santa "When you see it, stop. The red light means danger to health; it means too much strain; short Lours of sleep, ill-chosen food; neglected teeth and tonsils; too little sunshine. "Tuberculosis usually begins in childhood, and may be endangering health long before any symptoms appear. Fully half the cases of adult tuberculosis in later years show X-Ray signs of having had this early condition called childhood tuberculosis at an age under 15. Such children can usually be discovered by the X-Ray and the tuberculin test and given special c. re. "Parents should see that children take the well-marked detours around the steep grades during the years when the child is becoming a man; when school life is most intense and the temptation to excess is greatest." MERRY CHRISTMAS 1930 HEALTH TO ALL This is the 1930 Christmas seal. Santa Claus has given it his official approval by uplifting his hand to emphasize the holiday greeting, "Merry Christmas—Health to All." Everybody buys Christmas seals which raise the money to fight tuberculosis, but few know that the original seal designed by Howard Pyle in 1907 is now treasured by stamp collectors and has a value of $5,000-5000 per cent of the original cost of one cent. This is the twenty-fourth seal sale. Practically all the returns are used in the community where the money is raised. Some of it goes for national purposes, such, for example, as the work of the national committee on medical research which is conducting extensive laboratory experiments HEALTH CAN BE BOUGHT Health is not an accident. Science has shown us that certain diseases are unnecessary. Among these is tuberculosis, taking a toll twenty years ago of two hundred lives out of each 100,000, since reduced to less than 80. An organized army is devoted to extirpating this disease entirely from society. The attack is centered on tuberculosis because of its insidious character as well as the extent of its onslaughts, for those who die because of it usually waste away slowly, and the life of the community is permitted with the by-products of the disease in depleted energy of workers, and poverty. There is another great reason why the forces arrayed under the banner of the double-barred cross financed by the annual Christmas seal sale, concentrate on tuberculosis. This is because the measures that prevent tuberculosis also prevent many other diseases. Annihlate it and the danger of other diseases is reduced proportionately How may it be done, or rather how has it been half-done already? The cure of the disease is by rest, fresh air, wholesome food and sunshine. The prevention is by rest, fresh air, wholesome food, sunshine and exercise. It is so simple most people don't believe it—they would be inclined more to see value in the sudden and mysterious "discovery" of a sure panacea. WILL LAMBAST MINISTERS. (Continued from acceptance Dr. Williams accepts the statement of Rev. Wesleyan Becton flung wide the revival Wednesday night to continue the revival services. Agreeing to the proposal made by the Epangelist that she be given complete charge of the services Rev. Williams aid. "The devil has been cheated, as Christians we possess that religion that make us get together that the kingdom of God might go forward. The misunderstanding between Mrs. Becton and myself has been thoroughly straightened out. It is the policy of this church to give to the citizens of Richmond the very best that can be given, such as Emancipation exercises, Civic, Inter-racial, and public forum meetings. But the saving of souls is more important. I extend an invitation to Rev. Josephine Becton to come to this city. She was recommended by such personages as the Rev. R. Roberts, Recorder, Rector of St. Mark's Church, New York City; Rev. Cullen of Saw Methodist, and other divines in New York. I turned over my pulpit to her, giving her full swing, that she may no the hampered. I invited her here and mean to stick by." This statement was accepted with loud applause by the packed audience. He further stated "I regret what happened last night. I thought an attack had made against the Ministerial body of Richmond and immediately sprang to my feet. I will not allow anyone to attack any denomination or its leaders from my pulpit. Mrs. Becton assured me she did not mean it the way the statement. I go to live in Richmond and any statement made against my profession here, will affectionate, send my church." Dr. Williams related an instance where he had to stop a young upstart who made an attack from his pulpit. Rev. Williams said, "I found in Mrs. Becton, a Christian woman. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her. I know that certain forces are after her now. My actions were merely to protect the interest of this church. Certain forces in Philadelphia want her to fail. There has a reporter from Philadelphia, here for the past week, this reporter, having visited my home. I wouldn't have ttt reflection on her. We are here to close the door. We can meet. We can get together and straighten this thing out, to try to be broad-minded and broad-hearted, and not have any prejudice against and denomination. I wouldn't raise my hand to hurt this woman, we have settled our disagreement. I am ready to go forward. She is willing to let it drop and so am I. Rev. Williams, in a statement to the Planet, said that his action toward the Becton party was caused by what he considered an unjust attack by Rev. Becton on the Richmond ministry. He further stated that he did not know Rev. Becton prior to her coming here, and therefore had no motive, except that he felt that it was his duty to ask her to discontinue her practice, in view of the fact that much pressure had been brought to bear upon him by influential members of his congregational society, the nature of her conducting service and flaying the Richmond ministry. Rev. Josephine Becton, in an interview with the press, said that she did not preach denominational issues, but the religion of Jesus Christ, and that she spared none, telling of their sins and wrong-doings. DR. KING AND THE NEGRO. Radio listeners hereabouts were greatly pleased last Sunday night as Dr. C. L. King (white) pastor of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church preached a sermon from the text: "Out of one blood God created all nations of men." It was one of the most noble gestures made from the white pulpit and was courageous in its interpretations. He asked for a better relationship between the races and especially for justice towards our group. These letters followed: Dec. 7, 1930. Dear Dr. King: Dear Dr. King. I have long been a member of your radio audience, and have always enjoyed your sermons. Your sermon tonight on the "Consideration of the Other Race" was a masterpiece in its presentation of our seize. I had begun to think that the white man's Christianity was a sham when it came to applying those noble principles to the treatment of the Negro, but after listening to your masterful handling of that delicate problem, I am somewhat convinced that God still lives, even in the hearts of white men. I am cognizant of the fact that it aksent moral courage, a high degree of fearness and he noble spirit of Godliness to stand before a white congregation and denounce the unfairness of discrimination and segregation as meted out to my people. May God crown your efforts with success, and give you more power to preach the truth. You stated our case very simply and plainly—Fairness, justice and a man's chance. I admit the problem is delicate and complicated, and a suitable solution not yet in sight, but with the help of God and such fearless men as yourself, I believe that with a sincere co-operation of the two groups here in Richmond we will be able to solve our problem. Respectfully, J. HENRY PETERS. Jr. December 9, 1930. Mr. J. H. Peters, Jr. The Commercial Bank and Trust Co., 529 North 2nd Street, Richmond, Va. My Dear Sir: I thank you for your letter of December 7th. I am much pleased to know that you have been a member of my radio congregation and have found my sermons helpful.

He also said that "like Judas, who sold the master for thirty pieces of silver, men "DOZING" IT OFF. THE "AMPLIFIER." had taken his name and cast it to the four winds of the earth for the sum of a few measly dollars." After paying his respects to the press, we dare say that Dr. Parham preached one of the most stirring sermons that he has preached since he has been in the city of Richmond; he indeed preached a "most wonderful" sermon. Many who have sat piously erect in the pews of "Mosby Memorial" while the minister stood on the wall preaching Jesus and Him crucified, without a whimper, reached for their handkerchief Sunday morning in a vain effort to stop the flow of tears.

Its 32 ingredients, 22 of which are the juices of roots and herbs, strike at the very source of the ailment and remove the causes. The Konjola Man at the Peoples Service drug store, 101 East Broad street, is prepared to tell you all about this famous compound. See him today and learn what Konjola is, what it has done and is doing daily for thousands, many of whom may be your own friends and neighbors. The Konjola Man can cite instances similar to that of Mr. Timothy Murdock, 1413 East Broad Street, Richmond. Mr. Murdock recently made the following statement. "I was weak, tired, all in and had pains in my joints and muscles. My stomach bothered me a great deal and it was sometimes impossible for me to work when I had attacks of dizziness and shortness of breath. My liver bothered me, as did constipation, causing me to use cathartics almost daily. Suddenly I realized that I was getting no better and my friends urged me to konjola. "I have used six bottles and the tired feeling is gone. The pains have left my joints and muscles. My stomach is relieved, and I can eat like other people. I can work every day without discomfort or bother from my liver and bowels. Konjola is the most wonderful and best medicine in all the world and is now my family remedy. I would not be without it." Taken regularly after meals over a six to eight week period, Konjola has done for thousands all that it did for Mr. Murdock. Try Konjola today.

When we arrived they were engaged in their song and prayer services, which all were enjoying. The Church was filled to its capacity, and every one felt perfectly at home. These series of religious meetings have been going on ever since the 30th of November, and have been quite successful, both spiritually and financially.

Some times her sermons are as sweet as honey, and some times they are as bitter as quinine.

Banks was ready to make the final report. Those who witnessed the rally from beginning to end were strong in their praise, saying they had never seen it on this wise before. The friends were first permitted to make a contribution, at which time more than $700.00 were taken in. Following this, the juniors, under the supervision of Miss Fannie and Sallie Smith and Miss Susan Randolph on the table $125.00. It was a beautiful sight to see this up-hip they were led by little Hattie kids and Reginald Winston. Then followed all of the junior activities. The junior effort was closed with a song sung by the junior choir. Following this the general rally was on, which included every individual, every club, board and auxiliary. This was closed with a spiritual led by deacon Joseph Brown and an inspiring number by the adult Gideon's band followed and it was a mighty band. The cornets and trombones representing Gideon's trumpets, rang out with "Onward Christian Soldiers" while the great army formed it's line down the aisle, reaching back and extending to both sides of the church. This group was led by the senior deacon, C. A. Washington and the senior deacons, Sister Emma Booker Jones. The three receiving tables manned by W. S. Banks, Mrs. Fannie James, Miss Lila Cuvillay and Miss Emma Bailey, were very much crowded for a brief period and the counting tellers were kept indeed busy. When this was over, the whole congregation, led by instrument, organ and choir sang the "Coronation." The feeling among the members of the Second Baptist Church is that to raise this amount of money in these hard times is proof positive that the man at the helm is nothing less than a real leader and the public believes that the Second Baptist Church, it's officers and members certainly made no mistake when they went to Hot Springs, Arkansas and induced the Reverend Joseph T. Hill to lead this mighty army. Highlights Of Dr. Hancock's Sermon Last Sunday (By Everett C. White) Mrs. Marion Burress sang at morning service. Dr. Hancock preached from the subject: "Through Thick and Thin." He used as his text: "Lo, I am with you always." Matthew 28:20. Dr. Hancock's sermon was as follows: More and more life is becoming a changing proposition and the person who is not prepared for changes is not prepared for life. Even as the heavens are sunlit at noon and stormtorn at even, so is life. Today's heroes were yesterday's malefactors, today's friends were yesterday's bitter enemies; today's commendations were yesterday's curses. It was even thus and will be doubtless unto the end of time. Those who build just for today must live to see their houses of hopes crumble amid the bighted hopes of unaccomplished years. When Lytle wrote the immortal "Abide With Me," and sensed therein change and decay in all around, he was looking life squarely in the face. When Moses was at Sinai life was thick, but at Nebo it was doubtless thin. When Nebuchadnezzar was domiciled in imperial Babylon life for him was thick, but when he was eating grass like an ox, life must have been thin. When Napoleon's sun of military glory arose at Austerlitz and Jena, life for him was thick with glory and glamour, but at Helena it was awfully thin. When the Kaiser was strutting through "Unter Den Linden," life for him was mighty thick, but no longer changed. When the Kaiser was strutting through glamour are thin indeed. When Jesus Christ was handing out loaves and fishes and healing all manner of diseases and the multitudes were clamoring for him as king, life was thick, but when he metold men the truth to their faces, without fear or favor, they laid hands on him and started toward Calvary, and it was doubtless mighty tinnary when He exclaimed in the agony of death, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" 1. The "THICK AND THIN OF EATH. In truth has it been said that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. A mighty soul is that where the sun of faith is shining. The man who believes in God and man and the justice of his cause is the most powerful thing in the whole world. TRUSTING GOD IS THE LAST THING MEN ARE WILLING TO TRY. Most White Principal Convicted For Striking Colored Girl White Plains, Dec. 10.—Charles O. Beaman, Principal of the Eastview Avenue School in White Plains, N. I., has been convicted here of assault in the third degree for striking and injuring a colored girl student, Annabelle Stepney, the girl being represented in court by William T. Andrews, Special Legal Assistant at the National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The attack upon the young colored girl by the white principal was the outcome of his ordering her not to walk across the lawn of the old high school building. The complaint against the principal then alleged that the girl was summoned into his office, that he grabbed her arm and when she struggled to release herself he said he would "not take any impudence from anybody, white or black." The girl retorted that he needn't tell her she was black; whereupon it, he is charged, the principal struck her across the face, causing a flow of blood and injury which was testified to in court by a colored physician, Dr. Williams. The killing of the case by the N. A. C. P. Legal Assistant has been the subject of high commendation in White Plains, and a movement is under way to bring about the dismissal of the offending principal. Judge William Gray, who found the white principal guilty of third degree assault after short argument or attorneys for both sides, suspended sentence. Dr. Errold D. Collymore, of White Plains, wrote that Judge Gray said that the first time he conducted himself with such dignity and intelligence as did Mr. Andrews in this case.

The evening on of us will put greater trust in the dollar than we will in our fellowman. The cause of all faith is God's dealings with man and God is not through yet and faith is bound to have a rebirth and become thick against right and in the great by and by faith in man must become thick again. II. THE "THICK AND THIN" OF HOPE. When hope decays our comfort dies and leaves our hearts in pain it is in the pristine days of youth that hope rises like a mighty cloud in the firmament of life. In youth we dream of greater days and daring deeds and we live through hope in a great Tomorrow. We see ourselves doing great things crossing Rubicons and scaling Alps and winning the day at life's Waterloo battlefield. Youth is a dreamy time and hopes lie thick in the furrows of life. This is life's morning that is oft merry and lightsome and filled with gladson delights. But in the after years we see our house of hopes crumble and one by one our dreams have a rude awakening and we are brought face to face with a rugged life that is filled with rugged realities. Business fails, married life fails health and youth fail. When we come to the end of our road hope is mighty thim. III. THE "THIQK AND THIN" OF LOVE—Charity. Aside from life, love is the only thing that matters. To love and be loved is not only the master principle of life, but it is life itself, and only this is life. In truth is this world dying for a little bit of love. Those who die in despair are he loveless, or those with whom love is thin. TODAY, BUSINESS AND THE CARES THEREOF AND OUR LIVES OF DOLLAR CHASING are making our love life very thin indee. In conclusion, let us see that we are facing a dreadful winter in which faith and hope and charity will be thin in the lives of great multitudes. Jesus promised to be with us always; even unto the end, and what Jesus pledged to us, let us pledge to those who need us. If every soul was convinced that there was somebody with them through thick and thin a halluujah song would fill this earth with singing. The world is with us when things are thick, but Christ alone promises to be with us when things are thin. Quotations from First Month of Tenor's Seventh Tour New York Times, Nov. 13, 1930—"To hear him frequently one has the opportunity to recognize new facets to his art and depths to his artistry. If one accept the test said to be applied by Fritz Kreisler that a significant artist must thrill the hearer, or if one accept Felix Weingartner's dictum that a true artist makes the hearer say to himself 'that is how I should like to interpret,' the remarkable Negro tenor is secure in his niche. By these or any other touchstones he made his hearers feel once more the sincerity and greatness of his message." Greensboro (South Carolina) News, Nov. 15, 1930—"The supreme art of Roland Hayes has justly acclaimed him one of the greatest artists of the age, and his place of eminence is unique. Possessing a voice of indescribably beautiful quality, with perfect mastery of its use, there was noticeable in the singer a subordination of self—a characteristic of the really great." Roanoke (Virginia) Times, Nov. 18, 1930—“The exquisite art of the singer captivated the hearers throughout the concert, but it was the rendition of the Negro spirituals which brought forth the greatest storm of applause. All the intense emotion of the Negro race found its expression in 'I'm Troubled in Mind' and 'Dat's All I Want.' It is in the role of the singer of the spiritual that he fills best his avowed purpose of being a vehicle for the expression of the thought and the emotion of the music. There could be no question but that he felt the exaltation of the spirituals, and that the religious emotions which the spirituals express had found a home, turbulent though it might be, in his heart.” Norfolk (Virginia) Ledger-Dispatch, Nov. 20, 1930—"Voice without, while basic, is of minor value without artistry. Hayes goes beyond mere vocal virtuosity. He is a true artist of poetic sensibility, fine feeling for dramatic values and, above all, dignity. So far as may be judged from last night's recital, he does not stoop to cheap vocal or interpretational tricks, nor even to cheap music, with the thought of "wowing the galleries. A singer of whom this may be said is a credit not only to his race, but to the human race."

Here are two hands that were played in a recent tournament, held in New York City, that illustrate these points very well: No score, first game. (1) Suppose Z bids one spade and A bids one no trump. What should Y bid? (2) Suppose Y bids two hearts and B bids three diamonds, what should Z bid? (3) Suppose Z passes, A bids three no trump and all pass, what should Y open? (4) Suppose Y opens the three of spades, what should Z play? Think over these various questions and decide whether or not the suggested ring is correct. (5) Suppose that hand happened at various tables in the tournament game will be given in the next article.

The problem after the Z play the hand that he will win the balance of the tricks against any defense.

He can discard one diamond and two clubs, but what will his fourth discard be? If he discards a third club, Z's queen of clubs will be good. If he discards a heart, Y's hearts will be good.

Directed by Prof. Fulford, the chorus swung, full toned into Dudley Buck's "On the Sea," and followed with Lohr's sentimental "Where My Caravan Has Rested." The spontaneous outburst of thirty, full, resonant male voices in a merry musical interpretation of Oley Speak's popular hit of yesterday. "On the Road to Mandalay" evoked a din of applause unsurpassed in the record of appreciated recitals. In Spross' fery reading, "Gunga Din," Robert L.

THE HAIR COMING ABOUT No one is expected to have harsh, course, unruly, uncombed or undressed hair. There have been so many preparations provided for the proper care of the hair that it becomes easy for man, woman or child to have good hair. A person to-day seen with bad hair is somewhat of a curiosity. The hair should be shampooed more often than the is the average person's custom. In the case of women, some have advised that the hair should be shampooed twice a month, but I rather think that isn't quite sufficient nowadays with the amount of dust attracted, and since the use of heavy greases and pomades have become so prevalent. I should say a t畏 three of a man, his head should be shampooed at least three times a week. The use of the hot combs and electric irons have played an important part in the beautifying of the hair. A little retouching as frequent as necessary enables one to keep a good looking head with the constant use of some good guaranteed hair pomades. Watch this column weekly for beauty hints. Enclose a stamped and addressed envelope for advice on beauty to Theresa, in care of this paper. THE RICHMOND PLANET In Post S SPORT CHATTER CHATTED BY "RICHIE." Despite the fact that Coach Hucus Panthers trounced them 13-0 in a sprinted last quarter whirlwind drive, the Morgan Bears, take C. I. A. A. laurels in the 1930 campaign. Morgan entering the Association this year, is off to a good start and aided by Cearad and Hicks should make things num in next years settos. Congrats to Union Teams may come and but one of the best aggregations in South Eastern circles was the Eleven forged by a hard working Hucules. The brothers battled against wind and a heavy battering Hampton squad vanantly for the C. I. A. A. Championship. WHY? Many followers of the "Cleated turf" have requested an explanation of the strange C. I. A. A. mix up this year. Well, gang, it's just that Morgan won 7 out of 8 games while Union losing none before the Hampton tray tied two and had to battle to a deadlock or win in the Turked Day Classic to cop the crown. DOPE UPSET! The last dope upset of the year came with Howards eked into 2-0 win over Lincoln in the annual, traditional grid feud fray at Washington. The Bison's created a furor in grid circles with that upset gang and maybe Coach Tommy Verdell may put the Blue and White in the money next year. State—In Post Season Form Coach Martins Statesmen hit their strides in the last game of the year—the 2nd Annual Turkey day fracas against the A & T aggies. Am predicting that the State gridders will be trouble next year. And Speakin' o' next year—the local team loses Robinson, Smith and Washington. Coach Hucules will again face the problem of team construction. So King Football's reign is ended and the throne is usurped by Czar Basketball. Fans turn their attention from the cleated turf and thud of pigskin to the varnished court and swishing net.

STUDENTS ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH CHURCH CHURCH Pennsylvania, Princeton and the University of California at Los Angeles have made experiments with student churches. And laterly, students of Oklahoma A. & M. have made persistent efforts to establish a student church. "Critics noted for their ill opinion of college youth should be softened by such demonstrations," says the Oklahoma editor. The proposed A. & M. church would be devoid of dogma or creed and would provide a channel through which the student could express his views. NATIONAL DECEMBER 15TH BEHAVIOUR—IT WILL DO GOOD Ironmen Outplay Lions Ironmen Outplay Lions By GEORGE LYLE Hampton Institute, Va., Dec. 8.—playing on a soggy field, the ball heavy and very slippery, the big Blue and white grid machine from Hampton Institute effectively shut out the Lincoln eleven. The game clearly indicated the Ironmen's superiority in all passes of the contest. The play was kept in the Lion territory the greater portion of the time—the Seasiders scoring eight firsts to the Lion's five. First Quarter The opening period started with several exchanges of punts. Guess, brugs and Moore hammered their way to the Lincoln six-yard line, where the bail was lost on downs. La Mar kicked out to the forty-nine and the Seasider advance was resumed. A series of line plays brought the bail to the twenty-one yard line, where the advance was hated. brugs nonchainly booted a place face for a three-point marker. Second Quarter Hampton, with a series of line plays and sweeping end runs, placed the ball on the Lincoln sixteen-yard line, and again the Lions arced their backs and denied the advance. The punt traveled to midfield, where Harris made ten yards before he was stopped by Kane. A pass, Guess on the nursing end, was intercepted by James, Lincoln center, who was downed on the Hampton forty-nine yard line. Ten and fifteen yard runs by Lewis and Baskerville placed the ball on the Seasider two-yard line. There the Lincolnites ran up against a stone wall, and the ball was lost on downs. Briggs punted to the Lincoln forty-eight as the half ended. Third Quarter Lewis returned the kickoff twenty yards to his thirty-five, where he was tackled so hard that the ball flew out of his grasp, to be recovered by Morton on the forty-five yard marker. Briggs kicked out of bounds on the Lincoln five-yard line and La Mar returned the punt, which Harris caught in the middle of the field, and made ten yards before Harrison stopped him on the Lion's forty-yard mark. A pass, Guess to Morton, was good for thirty yards, but the ball changed hands on the ten-yard line. Harris made a thirty-five yard end run, to place the ball on the Lincoln five-yard tape as the quarter ended. Fourth Quarter First down on the five-yard line, the Lions took possession of the ball on their one-yard line. The punt carried to the thirty-five yard line, where Harris was downed in his tracks. Guess, in three plays, brought the ball to the three-yard line, where Moore took it over, Briggs failed to make the extra point, making the score 9-0, as it remained until the end. The kickoff was poor, the Lincoln center catching it was brought down on the fifty-yard mark. A series of passes, La Mar to Sydnor, was good for thirty yards. The advance was halted when Gaines recovered a Lion fumble on the twenty-five yard line. Guess followed with a thirty-five yard run around left end and a fifteen-yard jaunt off-tackle, to bring the ball to the twenty-bye. Scott, who had been substituted, made five on a cutback as the game ended. The entire Hampton team played a great game, with Guess the out-string performer, and Baskerville, Lewis and Kane starring for their team. DEATHS DEATHS Frank Edward Smith, 218 W.

I incorporated in my notes to you a new rather pointed statements which I expected you to at least say something about. But, "Dot" you passed them over, didn't you! it is needless for me to say I am sorry, but you did miss just a little news. They would have made you a little wise if you had heeded these statements. Last week's significant role began on Friday evening and lasted three early hours of Saturday morning. The carolers were the responsible and most delightful moss, with Oliver Williams and his "roundabouts," in entertainment, couples cared here and there across the room, just take my work for you, in say "they looked good." A nice reply "Do, I can't tell you who was there but I have been requested not to publish the names. Unless I had better not, for fear of the alternation.

The details, I regret, I cannot give just now, but I hop e to have them perfect next week this time. My memory bears nothing scheduled to occur between that time and the Sigma Gamma Rho's at Johnson's Christmas Eve, or should I say Christmas morning? The time is 12:01 until—Of course, now this statement is not at all authentic but I have heard something to this effect from several forces. Don't let me fool you if you can help it, but while speaking or Christmas, I might make another little contribution. Don't get knocked off your iet if you hear of two events of which you have not heard before, will be rather nice too. Back to the things which have already happened. On last Saturday, little Anthony James was 9 and Earl Drew was 9. Battered coincidental that these little "buddies" would have a birthday on the same date. No one had a birthday party for them, but I heard that these lucky little fellows were recipients of lots of good wishes, visits and presents. Sunday as I understand it, was the spectacular day. Earl called on Anthony and so did a number of their friends. They had a big time with Alvin Morris, Leon Reid, Ferguson Reid. I happened to have seen John R. Piccott and Richie B. Keller, correspondents to the Planet the other evening. They were the most delighted to speak, possible. I attributed the reason to those two very enticing young ladies they had with them. Miss Marjorie Sircus is expected home Sunday. I wonder if that means anything. I think so. "Dot" please let me tell you again about the "Delvers", one of the most interesting groups Richmond could possibly know. Despite the fact that they were busy completing plans for their annual frolic on Christmas night, they stick to their programs. At their last meeting, Miss Goldie Coots was hostess and Llewelyn Davis the head of the Department of Commerce at Virginia Union was guest speaker. The only guest on last Tuesday was Miss Tiema Cephas. Miss Cephas, you know is a Strong军 High School faculty. To re-inform you, the Delvers are Misses Blanche Coles, president; Beatrice Edmudes, treasurer; Olivia Cumber, Geraldine Bolling, Eloise Bowles, Ella Hudson, Goldie Coots, Mary Wingfield, Mrs Ruth Evans Jackson. I wonder if you have noticed the interest that Richmonders are taking in civic affairs. The N. A. A. C. P. drive, the Unemployment situation, the selling of Christmas seals, the latter intended to fight Tuberculosis, evidently are considered worth while projects. The suave and graceful little Charlotte Thompson, will be one of the hostesses during the Christmas season. Visit Charlotte and you will have the pleasure of meeting and greeting three of those to be met from Washington, girls of course. Anne Ellis, too is expecting company. Sorry I cannot tell you any- PAGE FIVE thing further. Some of the visitors in Richmond over the last week-end were Mesdames Lillie Holmes Brown, Ida B. Harris, Winifred Woodland and also Chester Walker. These, all from Washington were the guest guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Holmes, 814 St. James Street. A little secret—meant just for you. The Pittsburg Courier gives John Hester a puff, in Rollo Willson's "Sport Shots". Read it and see how important John Hester is. I realize that you are eagerly awaiting the fast approaching holiday season, and all its gaities, but I have another source of enjoyment, form me! Take a tip from me and get your tickets for the Charity Ball at Johnsons', next Wednesday evening. Take all of your friends. Miss Emma Lee Boatwright of 610 N, 8th St., left Tuesday for White Plains, N. Y., to visit her sister. She plans to remain through the Yuletide. Miss Lula Shaw, Norfolk, Va., Co-ed at Va. Union University was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Jones of 504 Randolph St., recently. As the date for the marriage of Miss Olivia Sylvester Clark to Dean Charles Satchell Morris, Jr, of Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, approaches society circles in Virginia and elsewhere are taking unusual interest in the match. The affair having been tentatively set for the afternoon has now been definitely scheduled for eight-fifteen in the evening in order to permit many persons to reach Roanoke who could not otherwise be present. The First Baptist Church here will be the scene of the ceremony with The Rev. Dr. Arthur L. James the pastor and president of the Virginia Baptist State Convention the chief celebrant. Miss Olivia S. C/ark Assisting him will be the Rev. Dr. Vernon N. Johns, president of Virginia Seminary and College and the Rev. Dr. Charles Satchell Morris, Sr, father of the groom. Mrs. Charles Satchell Morris, Sr, mother of the groom although a total invalid for the past several years will be here for the event. Her son will motor her from her home at Richmond. Mrs. Morris is a poetess of distinction. During recent years in spite of her physical disability she has traveled a great deal. The reception which will be staged directly following the church wedding will probably be the most elaborate ever held in southwestern Virginia. It will be attended by three hundred persons from every section of the country. The vanguard of visitors will arrive next week some persons reaching Roanoke as early as December 18. Informal receptions will be held in a dozen cities for Dean Morris and his bride. He is scheduled to appear in five states while on his honeymoon and in each instance he has been requested to bring his bride. The noted orator remarked a day or two ago that she will probably be a much better drawing card than himself. One of the most pretentious affairs will be in New York City where the Rev. Dr. Charles Satchell Morris, Sr, was for eight years the pastor of the Abyssinia Baptist Church beginning his service there when "Satchell" as he is affectionately termed was just one year old. The West End girls met at the home of Mrs. C. A. James, 931 Hickory Street, Thursday, Dec. 4, and organized a club. The members of the club are Helen Mickie, Mary Thomas, Marie Carter, Otelia Taylor, Izela Hackette, Dorothy Hill, Mary Bassette, Elizabeth Hatter, Fannie Stroud, Fannie Austin, Imogene Hackette. Officers elected: Helen Mickie, President; Otelia Taylor, Secretary; Marie Carter, Treasurer. The object is to help the needy children by making clothes for those that are of school age. The club is asking their friends to give anything they can—money or clothing. The name selected was The West End Teens Club; motto—Living for Others; colors—blue and yellow. A get-together social will be given at the residence of Mrs. C. A. James, 931 Hickory Street, Sunday, Dec. 21, from 4 to 7 P. M., Miss Mary Thomas, hostess. A musical and literary program will be rendered. Friends are invited.

The fact is they all get more work than they could properly and promptly do and that’s where they got into trouble.

By MR. A. B. GREER I am impressed with the ef- forts of the S. 8. & E. Laundry, Incorported, to establish a mod- ern laundry entirely owned and operated by Colored people in this city. The plan proposed by them for the financing of this enterprise through an issue of first mortgage securities is very much in keeping with present day financing, This project should prove successful because it is headed by men who are sincere in their efforts to build for racial pro- gress, whose past records are clean’and in whom the people have utmost confidence, This project will receive my hearty ‘support.

Fe ee et ee EVERY WOMAN CAN BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS 2 SYNOPSIS INSTALLMENT II Through the Jungle With the speed of a trained athlete John Northington cleared the space of black mud lying between him and the thick tropical under- growth. A second leap and he was bending over the moaning girl. An arrow was imbedded in the soft flesh of her arm. With a single movement, he flung her to his shoulder and tore at the arrow. It was barbed. In spite of her stifled moan of pain at the re- sistant pull against her lacerated flesh, John Northingten breathed 2 sigh of relief. A barbed dart was not a poisoned one. There was time for attention to that later. <e could give most of his attention to flight now. ‘A single fleeting glance at the girl whose body suddenly sagged against him told him that she had fainted from the pain.

A slithering lizard drop- ped heavily onto the path behind hin: Somewhere above him, monkeys sét up a terrible jangle of chattering. A panther cat screamed far off in the nigh? John Northington paused, listening. The girl on his shoulner lay limp. He could feel the warm smearing of oz2- ing blood against his neck where her ‘wounded arm hung limply. | He raised his free arm to wipe the ‘dripping sweat from his forehead. It brushed against a swinging vine. Des- peration seized him. There was no need trying to penetrate any deeper ‘into this dense blackness. Overhead ‘the tangled roof of greenery shut out every faint ray of light. No stray gleam from moon or star would pene- trate here. _ A sudden inspiration came to him. Laying hold of the heavy, arm-sized tendril of tough vine, he felt about with his foot until it caught in the convolutions just above the ground. ‘Slowly, laboriously, fending the still ‘unconscious girl as best he could with his own body bent over her, he began a groping climb. He knew that in the matted upper reaches of vine and tree he could find a temporary resting place. That it might be already occupied by more dangerous foes, he knew; but the chance must be taken. ‘There was no question that the up- per reaches of the tree were safer than the infested earth. No enemy could be crueller than those gray- robed priests of the Black Lily, when balked of their prey, as he knew that this flight of the Chosen Bride of the annual feast, had balked them. Once, as he made his way upward, a big bat, dislodged from his hold, struck blindly with his wing against the face of the girl. She groaned and moved. He knew that he must stop soon, for the girl, once conscious, would be in horrible pain. Feeling about him with feet and free hand, he discovered 2 sort of matted net- work that would bear their combined weight. He scrambled gropingly into the swaying platform of vine and twig and settled himself as comfortably as possible holding the girl's body close.

There was nothing to do but wait till morning came, The horror of the night of fear and pain was a memory that John North- ington never forgot. But at last it came to a close. When the gray cold dawn crept like a ghost between the rank green in- terstices of the awakened forest, the man turned his attention ‘o the busi- ness of going on. The girl, weakened beyon™ protest or help, lay laxly in his ai..6 only groaning faintly from time to time as he made his way carefully to the ground below. Once there, he set her gently down, but she was beyond walking. For a while he let her rest on the soft. mat of rotted leaf-mold that formed the jungle floor. Then, very gently, he took some remnants of his tattered shirt and did his best for the wound in her arm. The girl only moaned faintly, When he rose from his crude at- tempt at first aid, he heard a sud- den crackling of underbrush, off to his right. He straightened to atten- tion, listening. The girl's eyelids fluttered open. A look of unspeak- able terror overspread her face. “They hafe fin’ our trail senor,” she whispered hopelessly. A guttural cry came, in weirdly carrying wlula- tions, as if borne from tree to tree by some devilish agency from an un- seen world, With desperate determination, John Northington seized the wounded girl once more and lifted her to his shoulder, Suddenly the woods seemed alive with gruesome shouts and _hair- raising yells. They seemed to come from all directions at once, Blindly, with no thought of direction but with the wild desire of a strong man for action in danger, carrying the girl limply dangling over his shoulder, he leaped forward, The lower limbs of the trees whip- ped across his face and body pitiless- ly_as he plunged ahead, aimlessly. The sounds seemed to be closing in on him. His breath came in gasps. Blood streamed from the cuts on his face and blinded him. The girl had ceased to cry out at the stinging blows on her tender flesh, where the low, swinging boughs caught her. Suddenly the gleam of water caught the light and was reflected to the half-blinded sight of the man, With a last desperate spurt of strength, John Northington, the moaning girl held firmly by his left arm, broke through the tangled bar- rier of rank trcpic undergrowth sep- arating him from the muddy bank of the stream, He found himself at one end of the horn of the same crescent shaped stretch of black slime from which he had made his hurried flight the pre- vious night. The scattered ash of a huge fire, near the tree-line and toward the center of tre stretch of clear space, gave mute evidence of the recent presence of the sinister group whose lone sentinel stood on guard at the prow of the beached pirogue. The pirogue lay immediately before the fleeing man high up on the horn of the black beach at the point where he had burst through. The sentinel, wrapped in his grey green cloak, was standing facing the upper stretch of the river, his bow held loosely in his right arm. At the sudden noise behind him he wheeled bringing the weapon, already }trung, up to his shoulder, Simultaneously, John Northington dropped the girl unceremoniously on- to the soft pelts strewing the bottom of the long unoccupied pirogue. Even as she fell, he leaped forward. The nearness and sudden surprise of the attack were too much for the guard. Quick as he was, he was too slow for that panther-like move. His arm was automatically flung high and wide by th> quick lunge accom- panied with a terrific blow to the chin, The deadly arrow, winged with the scarlet, feathers of death, sang MAKE THIS Test | ———= HJ First wash the hair o y | aa with Bask eid White MCS wee: 4 Soap and then use gen- #), N wes uine Black and White (44 Oo te Eas Bais Dente ny A AR | Leg ny eeaty ate : SES) Sais rons Sa i we SSING Lg come straight and Bess | op beautiful—easy to n (Paeat im ZZ tb jus ik pea a tyke SAM BER 30% WHITE 50¢ Black and White Body Sweet--is a perfectly exquis- ite deodorant that adds a dainty freshness to those who enjoy being well groomed . . : . . . 250 (Continued on page 7) THE RICH SCRUB GIRL | The Thirteen Most Gifted Negroes in the United States | ek ce ee a er a ee 2 ete ris reTURB TON say ie Vit ead a world Of at- tention and found herself in the glare of the spotlight almost before she knew it, and this was exact- ly what she wasn’t looking for, didn’t crave, wouldn’t have had at all, if she could have escaped it. But fate is fickle, and poor little Molly could do nothing to ward off the cri..1 biows that <ismet land- ed against her frail physique. Molly could have purchased, had she wished, anything that pleased her fancy and given a check for it “on the spot,” whether it amounted to one dollar or thirty thousand. Money problems did not faze her. In her life love and romance were everything, Her father had made a fortune overnight in oil, and Molly came into possession of his vast estate upon his death. In fact, this noble colored girl had more money than she knew how to spend. And all her life she had been pampered and spoiled by loving parents who wouldn't let her soil her delicate brown hands. Therefore, it was strange when she performed with amazing dex- terity the stunt that placed her in the limelight. It wouldn’t have been so extraordinary if she hadn't been the wealthiest girl in town. But love is known to make fools of both women and men who feel its strong currents. In another part of the northwest Missouri town where she resided, lived a prominent novelist who was steadily gaining a place at the top of the ladder of success. He was forty and single, rather good look- ing, and certainly brilliant of mind. Molly Cage met him in society but she knew that he had forgotten her almost as soon as he took her slim hand upon introduction. There was something quite old-fashioned about Roy DeHorne. That was his name in private life. His writings appear under a nom de plume. Molly Cage recognized love when it came to her. She had been starved for it; that is, the sort of idealistic love that she wanted. She might have married a hundred men in her town and all of them mad with admiration for her, but she wanted the love of a man she could love in return, She was chic and demure. She Possessed certain mannerisms and certain charm that made men sit up and take notice. Albeit she was shy; she had her way with men, as she had with her parents. But this story concerns her sacri- ficing desire to win response to her frantic love for the writer-gentle- man. When she found that she could not be near him in any other way, she accepted a position in his small cottage near the water tower as a scrub girl. Can you picture pampered and petted Molly Cage scrubbing floors with her bejeweled fingers and her silken ultra-modern styles? But love—Aye, love enslaves them all; there are few, if any, who can with- Stand its irrational demands, Of course, De Horne did not know that she was crazy about him, and perhaps did not care. He simply thought that she was a poor girl in need of employment and he told her when she presented herself at his house that he would give her five dollars a week to keep the floors of his smad cottage clean. Because he was somewhat of a recluse, he avoided the social life of the city as much as possible. He worked incessantly. Sometimes he worked day and night. Therefore, it is perfectly natural that he for- got about having met Molly Cage before, that he had shaken her hand, that he had bestowed upon her one of his winning smiles in the drawing room of her fashionable fhouse in an exclusive "residential district. He had too many other matters to occupy his mind to re- member such commonplace inci- a THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—December 13, 1930 The Strange Case of Molly Cage who Scrubbed Floors to be Near Her “Ideal Man” hen he pointed with we we Ct his polished shoe to a spot on the el stone that she had missed. “You'll | serpapincaenaerenciaate have to do better than that,” he Ih caer & expostulated, “or I'll have to employ » Z i ae bee another girl.” is Mc Bae Co. “T’ll do better,” she averred, “you . oe - a > ave i oe may rest assured of that.

He nodded. “You'll get all the chances you deserve,” he rejoined, and then walked off and left her. From where she worked she could hear the steady click of his type- writer and knew that he was creat- ing another thrilling love story. Then she found that she had stood it as long as she could. Copy- ing after one of the characters in his stories, she decided to go after By DONN BRYAN Well-Known Feature Writer what she wanted in the manner of a real woman of the world, who was thickly coated with cosmopoli- tan lacquer. She slipped into the side entrance of his cottage one night, knowing this door was always unlocked, and hid herself in a clothes closet. He was entertaining a woman from the outside world, a city woman who had come down there to renew old acquaintances. And while she was hidden in the closet she-listened to their conversation and gleaned enough information to make her terribly jealous. But she lost her nerve that night and slipped home again, without having accomplished her supreme desire. While she was scrubbing his study the next day she took advantage of the opportunity and flaunted her girlish charms in his face, She knew how to do this. He sat there and looked on with amused toleration. Perhaps he was as fully surprised as he had ever been in his life when she suddenly threw her arms around him and pressed her lips against his mouth, ———————— ENE GORDON, Brilliar ; some time ago, will appear in He shoved her away from him, “You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” he said, reproachfully. “You like women; she remon- strated. “Why don't you like me?” “You're too young for a man like me,” he protested. “And—er—there is some difference in our stand- ing.” With that he withdrew from the room, Molly was afraid she would be discouraged, but she wasn’t, Then at a social function the fol- lowing evening, at her home, sne hid in a room upstairs while her mother lavishly entertained the author and a number of guests, She was afraid that he would recog- nize her. “Gawd, I love that man,” she murmured, while she lay sobbing on her bed in her luxurious pink and blue boudoir.

AX-ANA DOUBLE STRENGTH A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which sooth and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs from colds, bronchitis and minor forms of bronchial irritations, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.

The woman she had found in his cottage that night when she slipped into the clothes closet, was his wife. "Well," she demurred, "you haven't been fair. Do you think so?" He told her frankly that he thought he had. She had, he reminded her, thrown herself at his head. It wasn't his fault. "Gawd, I love you," she moaned. "Man, I love you with all my heart and soul. I took your part tonight when they blamed you for the fight at home. I've done everything possible to help you—I simply cannot live without you. You can't let me go. I won't go—" "You must," he said sternly. She began to sob brokenly. "You can't drive me out of your life. You're the source of all my joy and happiness. I'll die without you. Don't—" "You must think," he upbraided her. "You wished it upon yourself. I have my reputation to protect." Molly didn't know that he was trying to save her for her future, that he really did care for her, but had been sobered by the right, and wishing to stave off, for her benefit what he saw coming, he had lied to her. If she had known, this scene with her could have been avoided. There was a long glass vase on the massive table, a red vase of flowers, almost as thin as a rapier blade. Heavy glass, it would make a good weapon. "Well, you can't get away with it," she stormed. "You can't. I'll do anything before I'll let the other woman get you. I'll even kill you so I can put flowers on your grave rather than love you living with another woman." Then, before he knew what she was about, she picked up the vase and brashed his head open with it. He fell upon his face and was motionless. Frantic, realizing what she had done, Molly Cage called her mother. While the latter was en route to the author's cottage, a policeman passing down the tree-lined walk, heard Molly crying and stopped to investigate. Thus Molly Cage found herself in the clutches of the law. All the above evidence was introduced in court. Only because the writer lived, was this petite colored girl saved from further torture at the end of a rope or a prison cell for life. She was released and fled to unknown parts. Although the author has forgiven her, he never wishes to see her again. He thinks the affair ended for the best, even though he was painfully injured physically.

"We are having guests for dinner tonight. Do you remember meeting the Bentlys last summer?" "The Bentlys of Chicago?" queried Marion. "Yes," was the reply. "Mr. Bently and your father are old friends. They had not seen each other for sometime, prior to last summer. They will arrive at eighth-thirty." Mr. Wakefield was a man of good character. He did not believe in education. His elder daughter had completed the fifth grade. She was unable to continue because her father would not allow her to. Having been very successful financially, he had opened a small grocery store. It was in this store that the girls were kept very busy and there were home duties to do also. Marion, the junior member of the family, was now in the sixth grade. She had been taken out of school several times to help with the home work. Father Wakefield did not see the necessity of continuing when he was able to give her what she wanted. "But Father, something may happen to prevent your progress here. In the event that it does, what will become of us? If we have continued in school until we have mastered one particular thing, we will at least have something to look forward to," she had argued. Mrs. Wakefield did everything possible to keep her daughter in school. In spite of the conflict with Mr. Wakefield, she had succeeded in sending her another term. Evelyn Bently was just about the age of Marion. She was not disturbed by this particular handicap. Both her parents were eager for her to obtain the finest education. Since their first meeting, they had been very good friends. "I shall never be as successful in life as you, Evelyn." "Why not?" queried Evelyn. "Because I haven't the advantage." "Oh, Marion! Do not be discouraged. 'As a man thinketh, so is he.' Just feel that you are going to be a great lady some day. Say that you are going to win, and put forth every effort to win." During the summer of 1921, business was quite dull. Mr. Wakefield had adopted the credit system. This created much confusion. He lost money and friends. These conditions forced their parents to work very hard. Discouraged, the elder married without accomplishing anything worthwhile. A trip to Maine and an introduction to Evelyn's brother Carle, made quite a few changes in Marion's life. There were lots of girls up for the summer. She became very popular and had held a prominent and popular place among the social set. More determined than before, she began planning for the future. Evelyn had said, "Put forth every effort to win." She would do that. For instance everybody had a talent of some kind, then why not find hers and use it? She could think of nothing better for the present. On the following day, Marion began her work. Somewhere she had read an advertisement for song poems. Here was an opportunity to try her skill at song-poem writing. Remembering that she had composed a short poem once for missionary day, gave her more courage. Within a few days she had completed a poem entitled, "Dreams." It had been six months since Marion Wakefield submitted her poem to the Carlton Music Store. At last she received a check. A letter also saying that they would consider any other material submitted. "This is the happiest moment I've witnessed in all my life," she said.

THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—December 13, 1930 of standing much considerable nerve energy is present and consequently it is up to these subjects to apply reasonable control in curbing nervousness and restlessness. ```markdown ``` Persons of Saggittarius must watch their diet closely, take time in eating and never over-tax the mental powers, as over-taxing of the mental faculties will in turn bring on moody conditions and nervous troubles that may cause uncalled for illness. These persons should always consult the proper doctor when illness attacks, they should not waste time on treatnig themselves or catering to quackery. "PHENOMENA" Persons born in this sign are susceptible to alliments that affect the ears, throat, lungs and kidneys. They are also subject to hip-joint disease, varicose veins, swelling of limbs, rheumatism, gout and blood impurities, consequently great care should be taken of the herein mentioned organs. The talents of these people are many, for, they possess an industrious and progressive nature capable of carrying them high in life. The chief talent for men is law, for women, teaching, the women are also capable to becoming writers of note, especially fiction writers. A talent that most Saggittarians have is for music but they do not as a rule use it for commercial purposes. If they did they would attain more success. The disposition of the women of this sign is as a rule even. They love a home and home life; they guard their affairs carefully and seldom take interest in other persons' affairs. They are bright in conversation, their keen, active intellects keeping them well abreast of all topics of interest. EDNA HARRIS as Zeba in "The Green Pastures," which is perhaps the most unusual production ever staged on Broadway. They are fond of social relaxations and outdoor amusements. These women never harbor ill will nor bear malice, although they seldom ever forget an injury. These women are so inclined to industry that they become fretful or despondent if not kept usefully busy. They make excellent stenographers, modistes, milliners, musicians and teachers. The men of this sign have considerable amount of determination and stubbornness in their natures and it will pay them to study psychology and learn how best to use their mental qualities to attain success in life. These men usually love a home but few find lasting contentment in their homes, this is due to a desire to change ever so often. Changes and travel, however, do these men a lot of good. These men are capable of being warm and affectionate one moment and cold and indifferent the next. People do not understand this in these men and they are of course naturally misunderstood and misjudged. These men love the outdoors, sports, games, exploring, traveling, motoring and love the mountains and valleys. This spirit is the spirit of the pioneers and is a good trait.

"They change their collars once a day, change their shirts when dirty, change their underclothing when their wives sneak the soiled ones and deposit them in the clothes basket, but wear their trousers forever. "They tell us about our foolish clothing; how we are ruining our health; what foos we women be; but wear the same pair of trousers for six months or a year, and often for two or three years, with no more cleansing than may be secured from a clothes brush and an occasional hot-steam pressing. "I imagine sweating in underclothing for a year—and then you'll catch a vision of the sanitary condition of the vaunted male. Or visit a tailor when he is pressing the Saturday night offerings, and use your nose instead of your imagination. "Oh ye! Men are sanitary. The old-style trouser is good enough for dad.

The author has indeed a vivid you must agree that he writes with 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.

MOORE T ONE case, it is this morning only with am able to realize that I have the frigid surface of the planet member of H. S. Turner's epoch- out through the vast ethereal member 8, 2030 A.D. PART ONE AS IS QUITE often the case, it is this morning only with great difficulty that I am able to realize that I have actually set foot on the frigid surface of the planet Mars; that I was in fact, a member of H. S. Turner's epoch-making expedition, which set out through the vast ethereal spaces on the evening of September 8, 2030 A.D. At night the vast starry skies, seen from the windows of my apartment, high above the triple-decked thoroughfares of Philadelphia, along with the thousands of tiny red and green running lights which mark the endless progress of aerial travel — it called Lanchy, these underground kingdoms housed over a billion souls the Elsians being ugly-looking, superstitious little creatures, backward, while the Pragians approached a type somewhat more often the pattern of earthly man It was Sto who gave us the answer to the great riddle which had dwelt unsolved on our minds. How come the language of Mars to be that of earthly man? Ever since our "ship" had crashed in the snow outside and above the Kingdom of Els, at which time we were taken captive, this miracle had hung heavily on us. The answer lay in the fact that, a thousand years before, the black scientists of Mars had stumbled upon an amazing idea, and today there stands upon the white waste outside of the Pragian kingden, a great metal tower. To a majestic height of a thousand feet it rises, and on the occasion of our inspection of it, we were amazed to find that, with the aid of a sort of ear phone, we could hear faint murmurings, which, after listening intently finally formed themselves into faint, scarcely audible words—words from earth! "The great heavenly mystery," they called it. This, then, was the answer to the riddle of why theirs was the language of earthly man, although when Captain Sto said, "I shall take you to see it, esteemed one," it sounded much more like "Ishalltakecyuouto-seeit, esteemedone!" And, by the way; the Martian women. Never in all of my life had I seen such beautifully dark women! Everywhere, by the tens of thousands, I saw these wonderful little creatures—about the size of the sixteen--year-old Negro girls one sees on the streets and in the schools of the great stone cities of earth. Beautiful! This puzzled me at first, because the Pragians, like our former captors, the Elsians, are not handsome; far from it. Mr. Turner, however, advanced the theory that this condition was caused by countless generations of the Pragians' protection of their women from the cold, dating, perhaps, back to the pre-historic era, before they hit upon the idea of building their settlements into the ground. Quite often I was a guest at Captain Sto's richly furnished apartment, in the northernmost part of his beloved kingdom, and it was on one of these occasions that he gave me the story of Ioane. His manservant received me and I found his young master seated in what I would call a trophy room, with a bottle of fingo—wrul stuff! at his side and quite retrospective lor in his queer-loo' ng eyes. When I entered, however, he set his glass down and jumped to his feet. "Ah!!" he exclaimed, "it do be honor to me, esteemed one! Every courtesy at your command, Quano Brent. . . Lunug, you do bring at once more fingo for the guest of your master!" "The pleasure is all mine," I cried, taking the indicated chair. This sort of graciousness always did upset me. However, before very long I had recovered, and, with a sparkling glass of the deadly fingo in our hands, we were talking of various things, and I was secretly admiring his trophy-hung walls—the dried head of an Eslan warrior, unmistakably, curiously-shaped guns, knives, bits of brilliant metals—several scores of interesting objects. On a sort of stone shelf, directly in front of us, sat about twenty small stone statues. Each was quite different from the other—a miniature monster of some sort, a tiny kneeling woman, another with knife raised to strike As Sto went on talking in that At night the vast starry skies, seen from the windows of my apartment, high above the triple-decked thoroughfares of Philadelphia, along with the thousands of tiny red and green running lights which mark the endless progress of aerial travel — it all seems like a fantastic dream! It is at such times as this that I find it expedient to indulge in a perusal of my evidence. Only a half turn of my chair, and it is all as conveniently near as my manservant, Bennett, usually is. The middle drawer of the filing cabinet is pulled, and soon I am sitting comfortably back in my chair holding something in my hand, smiling. Rather, I chuckle, for it is a tiny stone image of a little Martian woman sitting cross-legged upon a rough base, a pensive wistfulness about her dark face, like one who has just bid good-bye to her lover forever. At once I think of Ioane. I shall tell you the story of Ioane and a romantic young buck Martian who was, at the time of the story, second in command of His Goodness's airship Haggo, one of those huge fish-shaped aircraft which are standard with the Pragian Federation of Defence. Captain Pasog Igan Sto.

Kiddies seem to have dislike for green leaf vegetables when first presented to them. The wise mother serves these in small quantities, liberally topped with fruit and flavored with fruit juices—and before long the child is eating lettuce and other greens with relish. Try sliced oranges and peanuts as a salad combination for your children, or sliced oranges and buttered popcorn if you prefer. Next morning slice oranges and bananas, serve with lemon juice and sugar, and see that there is a crisp lettuce leaf as a base. Sliced oranges and seedless raisins, served with a sauce made by dissolving liberal quantities of sugar in a liquid consistting of two parts orange juice to one part lemon juice, i another dainty for the young folk. Fresh Peaches For Winter Forecast of a new line of food products that will add to the healthfulness and appetite appeal of the American menu is contained in. the announcement that for the first time in history the quick-freezing process has been successfully applied to fresh fruits for home and individual consumption. This year it will be possible to buy, right through the winter, fresh, tree-ripe Georgia peaches which were frozen last summer in a way that retains all their original freshness and flavor. They'll be as fresh when they come to you as when they were picked from the trees. Next year and the years following should see a steady extension of the process to include other fruits. There is ample promise that within a comparatively short time the new partnership between refrigerating science and the fruit grower will have gone The Black Lily By CORA BALL MOTEN possible angle of the lolling head, half submerged in the mud by the force of the fall, was enough to satisfy the cursory examination. The sentinel's neck was broken. He would shoot no more poisoned arrows. Hastily, and yet with the most complete thoroughness, John Northington stripped the gray-green robe from the limp body, secured the steel-strong bow and the well-filled quiver of scarlet-feathered arrows, and the broad belt of snake skin that girdled the body next to the skin. Not until he had finished, did he turn to his next task, setting the heavy pirogue afloat, from where it lay high on the muddy bank. The girl in the bottom opened lacklustre, pain-dimmed eyes to his as he tugged and heaved pantingly at the cumbersome craft. But no word of complaint escaped her stoically closed lips. She knew that now was no time for carefulness or thought of ease. Their very lives depended on the lone man doing what it usually took twelve to do—drag the huge pirogue to the water's edge and set it afloat. With straining muscles and sweating body the exhausted man tugged and pulled at the unwieldy vessel. At last by dint of much maneuvering and twisting this way and that, he had it on the slope of the slippery rise. The rest was easy. The weight of the heavy hollowed tree-trunk, which was the native built watercraft, carried it as smoothly into the water as if it were on the well greased ways of some ship-building yard. Once on the stream, the awkwardness became grace. It rode the smooth surface as easily as a water bird floating serenely on the bosom of a placid lake. John Northington boarded it. His first thought was for the girl. As well as he could, he made her comfortable on the soft pelts, and then took up the great paddle by which the boat was propelled. With the skill of a native, learned from his friend and teacher in the art, Ramon, the painting man maneuvered the progue into the middle of the river and started Banana Custard Whip 1 package lemon junket 1 pint milk 3 bananas 1 egg white 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice Warm the milk until lukewarm—not hot—and dissolve the lemon junket in it. Have two of the bananas sliced into the dessert glasses; pour junket over them. Let stand in warm place until set; then chill. Mash the remaining banana, add egg white, sugar and lemon juice, beating until thick. Add as topping when ready to serve. RIPE GRAPE JELLY Use only full-ripened fruit. Stem grapes and crush thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup water, stir until mixture boils, and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Drip through jelly bag. Measure juice and sugar into large saucepan, stir, and a long way toward revolutionizing our winter diet by making the all-important, fresh, vitamin-bearing fruits available for our tables all the year round at moderate cost. The peaches, representing the first step in this revolution, are frozen in a temperature of 35 degrees below zero. The process is much the same as that which has been applied to fresh meats, but it is a more delicate one, since fruits are less able than meats to withstand the breaking down of their cells. When the peaches are purchased for consumption in the home they are handled in the same way as ice cream bought in cartons for the home table They should be delivered, or brought home, just before meal time and placed immediately in the refrigerator. By the time you are ready for dessert the peaches will be ready, too. ACK Lily ALL MOTEN down stream. Somewhere, he knew, miles and miles away, the jungle forest—hugging the stream on both sides now—ended on a wide sandy beach. Beyond that point lay a great city on the clean sandy shore of the Atlantic ocean. Whatever lay between, he said within his heart, he would conquer. With slow, laborious strokes he sent the vessel forward. Higher and higher across the blue vault above rode the white hot God of Day. Its merciless rays beat down upon his head and upon the girl lying stretched at his feet. Carefully drawing the paddle into the boat he let it float sluggishly with the stream while he donned the grey-green robe and hood that he had taken from the dead sentinel. He pulled the head piece well up and forward over his head. The warmth was offset by the protection it gave from the fiery darts of the sun's heat. With infinite care and the hilts of some broken arrow shafts, he rigged a sort of awning over the girl and again lifted the paddle, and straightened to his task. The unguided pirogue had drifted with the current close in to the shore and so near to a wooded point projecting into the stream that the pair of eyes, peering cautiously from behind a thick mask of leaves thereon, seemed to glare like two angry points of light directly into the startled eyes of the man at the paddle. At the same moment a harsh guttural cry cleft the silence. END OF INSTALLMENT II CLASSIFIED ADS HELP WANTED—MALE DECTECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations. Experience unnecessary.

I went to a drug store and bought a package of genuine Black and White Ointment and Skin Soap and started using them that very night.

Every now and then he would lower his eyes to glance at something on the polished table on which sat our half bottles of fingo. Further casual observation, and I discovered still another of these little stone images — another little brown woman, nude, sitting cross-legged on a bit of roug' base. To be sure, my curiosity was deeply aroused, "You must," I subsequently commented, "have had many wonderful experiences, Captain Sto." and he promptly set his glass down, regarding the little image on the table. Then he smiled and said very softly: "It do be true, Quano Brent," he murmured. "Yet, it be only one adventure in my life that do linger!" And as he said that, I became aware of a far-away look in his eyes, a quickening of breathing, a rising feeling in his breast. . . The next moment he discarded the fingo, bunched forward in his chair—and I was getting the story of Ioane! Captain Sto, of the Pragian Fedration Air forces, now stationed in that part of the recently conquered Elsian kingdom called Balo, suddenly halted his leisurely progress along the dark, nearly deserted thoroughfare Mito. Quickly he stopped and whisked up the thing which had just then fell clattering at his feet. About forty—young for a Martian—his pouchy body attired in the brilliant red uniform of the unconquerable kingdom of Pragus, Captain Sto immediately gave vent to an astonished gasp. In his hand was a short, glistening knife—an Elsian knife. Yet, it was not this that caught the young warrior's eyes and caused him to peer quickly upwards towards the tiny windows of the darkened, apparently untenanted structure it had obviously been hurled from. It was the object tied to its carved handle. . . . An Elsian knife bearing a Pragian ring! What did it mean? "It do be the sign of . . . Ya! The ring, he be little, the band of a weaker one—a woman of Pragus!" was his startling conclusion: "A Pragian weaker one in distress!" The lines in his dark face hardened. The next instant he was stealing his way silently up a flight of narrow spiral stone steps, through the stagnant darkness of an ancient Elsian structure. Instinctively, he drew his trusty dart gun. On and on he climbed. No sound came to him, no voice. Yet he had an exhilarating feeling that ere long, for the hundredth time in an adventurous life, he would test his skill in combat—this time, for a weaker one, a woman. The winding steps finally ended abruptly after the fifth landing. For a moment he stood there. A stale odor. Silence Or was it silence? Had not some sound come to him just then? Ya! Grimly he crept on between two cold stone walls. Suddenly he caught his breath and stopped. From out of the darkness nearby had come a rising voice, the deep, passionate voice of a man. It was as if the words were being hissed from between gritting teeth, as if fists were clenched. "You do accept now the heart of Captain Pignoff, Ioane the Beautiful," they growled, "—or the thrust of my trusty blade! Ya! Ya! It do be one. . . . Two years I do see your reflection in my fingo; two years I do dream, do hope. Now the gods be smile on Captain Pignoff. Ya!—Iaone the Man-hater, the infant of an Elsian mother and Pragian father, take hasty choice. . . ." "Ioane never del Never never." As the hysterical voice of the woman rent the darkness, Sto's heart suddenly raced like the engine of a good ship. Crouching there, an inaudible gasp escaped him. He hesitated. Was it possible? Ioane the Man-hater! CELERY TOP GREENS Wash leaves carefully and cut them from the wiry, small green stems. The wiry, green 'stems, if cut very fine, may be added to the leaves.
