VOL.39 NO.18 HAMPTON GIVEN MEMORIAL'ORGAN AT CELEBRATION Hollis B. Frissell Honored in Exercises at Virginia Institution. DR. HENRYP. JONESS SPEAKER Chandler Goldthwaite, Formerly Organist Here, Plays First Piece. By Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va., May 4.—The statesman-like service of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute from 1898 to 1917, to education and social progress throughout the south, the nation and the world, was graphically described during the 55th anniversary celebration, just brought to a close, by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Andrew Jackson Montague, former governor of Virginia, and George Foster Peabody of New York, senior member of the Hampton board of trustees. Dr. Gregg Accepts Mr. Peabody declared that it had been his high privilege to have the Hall built from a fund which had been "Frissell Memorial Organ" in Ogden entrusted to him many years ago by "William J. Palmer, a brilliant, farseeing, trustful Quaker gentleman who became a general." Mr. Peabody referred to Dr. Frissell as a man who became in his lifetime a far-seeing statesman and a great educator who was known throughout the world for his understanding of what was needed to make human nature come into its own. This memorial gift was accepted by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who said that organ music expressed uniquely the reverence and beauty which characterized the mind, heart and spirit of Dr. Frissell. Governor Montague referred to Dr. Frissell's relation to the renaissance of education in Virginia and to the building of a new civilization. Dr. Motton declared that at Hampton Institute Dr. Frissell rounded out a system of education that took account of the man's man and provided for all of his life. He referred to him as an apostle of cooperation, a man of faith, courage and modesty, who taught colored people to believe in themselves and other men to believe in colored people. Rev. H. P. Jones Speaker Chandler Goldthwaite, municipal organist of St. Paul, Minn., gave the opening recital on the "Frisell Memorial Organ" and demonstrated, with his brilliant playing, the orchestral possibilities of this organ, which was designed and built by the Skinner Organ company. Ernest Martin Skinner, "master craftsman and artist," declared that this organ was being left among friends. Mr. Peabody presented, on behalf of Arthur Curtiss James of New York a portrait of Dr. Moton done by Mr. Ferraris. The Rev. Dr. Henry P. Jones, pastor of the St. James A. M. E. church Pittsburgh, delivered the formal anniversary day address on "Hampton's Efficiency." He said that Dr. Frissell believed in the kingdom of God or earth and a present-day brotherhood 105 to Be Graduated one hundred one candidates for diplomas and four candidates for the degree of bachelor of science in agricultural education were presented to the Hampton Institute board of trustees by Mr. Peabody, in the absence of Chief Justice Taft, chairman of the Hampton trustees, who was detained in Washington by illness. Mr. Peabody declared that Hampton Institute is a soul and gives to men and women a new consciousness of the meaning of soul. He made a vigorous plea for the widespread development of character that will be based on moral courage. Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York, a Hampton trustee and conductor of the well-known annual "Special Hampton party" was elected president of the National Hampton association. Robert Ogden Purves, field secretary of Hampton, was elected executive secretary. THE INSURANCE THAT LAPSED. A World, War veteran died at the age of twenty-six in a middle Western city a month ago leaving his widow and his baby son to face the world without funds. He had permitted his War Risk insurance policy to lapse several months before his death and he had never renewed it. The most poignant fact about this tragedy is the failure of this ex-service ice man to reinstate his insurance before his family had insure him a family an estate of $19,000 which was the amount of the policy upon which he had paid premiums during the war. He had been seriously ill for a year, suffering from a disease whose earliest symptoms had developed during his eighteen months in France. The regulations governing both War Risk term insurance and converted insurance provide that if a person is suffering with a disease or injury incurred in or aggravated by active militarism, he may durably be World War he may reinstate his policy provided that he is not totally and permanently disabled, by the payment of all premiums in arrears, together with interest at the rate of 5 per cent per year compounded annually from the due date of each premium. THE APPEAL. Greater Camphor Church Is Plan Of Rev. David M. Jordan, New Pastor On Program At Hampton School 1 Dr. Henry P. Jones, former pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, this city, and now pastor of St. James church, Pittsburgh, was the principal speaker at the anniversary exercises held recently at Hampton Institute. Below is shown Chandler Goldthwaite, former municipal organist of St. Paul, who dedicated the Frissell Memorial organ at Hampton. PAY HONOR TO ADAMS, LOOMIS, AT MEMORIAL Speakers Eulogize St. Paul Pioneers at Memorial Fitting tribute to two citizens who died recently was paid by speakers at the memorial exercises for the late John Q. Adams and James H. Loomis, held at Little Pilgrim church last Sunday afternoon. The memorial was held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Hon. Daniel W. Lawler reviewed the life of M. Loomis and spoke eloquently of his qualities as a citizen and a member of the Democratic party. C. Hall's address dealt with Mr. Adams as a private citizen and as a public servant of his race, through his profession as a journalist. Music was furnished by the Pilgrim Baptist church choir under the direction of Mr. A. V. Hall. Resolutions signed by the officers and members of the executive board of the St. Paul branch were read by F. D. McCracken and W. T. Francis Dr. Valdo Turner presiding. With the acquisition of a new pastor, Rev. David M. Jordan, Camphor Methodist Episcopal church, Thirteenth street and Broadway, has extensive plans for a downtown institutional church for colored people of St. Paul. Rev. Mr. Jordan comes from Border Avenue Methodist church, Minneapolis, where he directed numerous educational and social activities. He succeeds Rev. H. W. Simmons, having taken up his new duties last Sunday. Camphor church plans night classes in religious education and social service and goes to obtain one of the daily instruction Bible schools conducted each summer by the Ramsey County Sunday School association. Outdoor games, a hiking club and organizations of a Boy Scout troop are included in the program. Rev. Mr. Jordan is a graduate of New Orleans college, Gammon Theological seminary: Atlanta, Ga., and a graduate student of the Chicago FIRST BUSINESS PROMOTION WEEK GRAND SUCCESS Speakers In Churches and Clubs Aid in Setting Project Before Public. TO BE ANNUAL AFFAIR Many Merchants Report Increase in Sales; Wind up Dance Held Friday. The first trade-boosting campaign ever attempted in St. Paul among colored merchants more than came up to expectations, according to an announcement by Mrs. Geraldine Pickett, corresponding secretary of the Business league, under whose auspices the campaign was conducted. "The colored buying public took hold of the idea with enthusiasm," said Mrs. Pickett, "and colored merchants report a noticeable increase in the volume of sales for this week." Stimulated Trade Ernest Starks, chairman of the Business Week promotion committee expressed himself as being well pleased with the results of the week's activities. "The purpose of the campaign was to stimulate trade with colored merchants, white merchants who are catering to colored trade, and white merchants who are giving employment to colored people," said Mr. Starks. "The reports that I have received indicate that this purpose was accomplished." Other members of the committee were Mrs. Aimee Hall and W. M. Cannon. Speakers Spread Gospel Not a little of the success of the campaign was due to the speakers who carried the message of "Trade With Your Own Merchants' to the churches, clubs and various other organizations. Among these were F. D. McCracken, Olander Smith, W. T. Francis, T. R. Morgan, G. D. Howard and Geo. W. Hamilton. Owen Howell, president of the St. Paul branch of the National Business league, said that the success of the trade campaign was a vindication of the Business league's slogan of cooperation. "This is just another demonstration of our belief that working together will bring far greater results than pulling apart." Mr. Howell said. "The more we trade with our own merchants and our white friends who employ colored help, the more we become a solid economic unit." The campaign was closed Friday night with a dance and reception at Union hall. ST. PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH The presence of the Lord was felt and greatly enjoyed last Sunday. Both services were largely attended. The discussion in the afternoon meeting resulted in the opinion that the conduct of no race or people justifies Jim Crowism. Altruistic service should take the place of discriminatory practices in the South or elsewhere. These discussions evoke thought, stimulate reading, and advocate higher social standards. Come and hear them. Atty. George W. Hamilton will speak next. His subject will be Negro Leadership. Everybody invited. Preaching 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Sunday school 9:30. Forum 3:30. B Y. P. U. 6:30. REV. JORDAN SPEAKER AT "Y" VESPERS SUNDAY Rev. David M. Jordan, the new pastor of Camphor M. E. church, will be the speaker at the vesper services at the Y club center Sunday at 4 P. M. Roscoe Crump will furnish special music. Mrs. Mae Black Mason who adressed the vesper services last Sunday, spoke on the music of different nationalities. Mildred Brooks played a piano solo and Charles M. Tucker played the violin.

(Crusader Service) New York, May 4.—The question of discrimination against students of Negro blood assumed international importance with the sailing Saturday of one of the leaders of the Ethical Culture Society of this city to make a formal protest to the French authorities at Fontainebleau. Augusta Savage, twenty-three, of 228 West 138th street has been refused admission to the Fontainebleau school of arts because of her racial identity. The school she expected to attend is a summer school for American architects, painters and sculptors at the Palace of Fontainebleau, and is under the patronage of the French government. Miss Savage is the first colored person to apply for admission. The refusal was made by a committee of American men which has the power to select one hundred American students as it sees fit. Miss Savage's application was in charge of Ernest Poixotte, the painter. Miss Savage has studied sculpture at Cooper Union since she came up from Florida two years ago. Her friends raised the necessary $500 for the summer course at Fontainebleau. She has returned the money. "Democracy is a strange thing," Miss Savage said yesterday. "My brother was good enough to be accepted in one of the regiments that saw service in France during the war-but it seems his sister is not good enough to be a guest to the country for which he fought. "I don't care so much for myself, because I will get along all right here, but other and better colored students might wish to apply some time. This is the first year the school is open and I am the first colored girl to apply. I don't like to see them establish such a precedent." CONGRESSMAN DYER TO SPEAK HERE MAY 25 The condition of the colored people in the South, the activities of the Ku Klux Klan and the Dyer bill are some of the topics to be discussed by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, father of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, in his speech in St. Paul, May 25. Congressman Dyer, who comes on a tour arranged and paid for by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will speak at Pilgrim Baptist church at 8 P. M. Attorney Francis Wins Three-Year Legal Batile In Minneapolis Court Contest Over Will is Decided in Favor of St. Paul Man's Client After Four Trials in Tacoma, Wn. and Minneapolis. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week were busy days in the District Court at Minneapolis, and when the three days' legal battle ended Judge Salmon granted the motion made by Lawyer Francis and directed the jury to return a verdict for Lucy Smith, of Tacoma, Wash., and against Clara Rhone, of Minneapolis, Minn.; thus ending a legal battle in the courts at Tacoma and Minneapolis that has been on for three years. W. T. Francis of St. Paul represented Mrs. Smith during the entire time, and F. E. Clark and H. L. Scott of Minneapolis represented Mrs. Rhone in this last contest, Mrs. Rhone having had seven other lawyers prior to the last contest. Started Over Will The legal battle originally started over a will made by Margaret Simpson, also known as Maggie Martin, who formerly lived in Minneapolis, but later moved to Tacoma, Wash. While in Tacoma she was operated on for cancer. The day before the operation, July 15, 1918, she went to a lawyer's office and made a will leaving half of her property to her friend, Lucy Smith, and the other half to her sister, Clara Rhone. After recovery from the operation she visited California and Colorado, and on December 15, 1919, she died at Starkville, Colo., leaving personal property in Tacoma and real property in Minneapolis. Defeated Three Times Clara Rhone objected to the will, and the first legal battle started on her objections in the Probate Court of Hennepin county, Minneapolis, in January, 1920, and she was defeated. Mrs. Rhone then shifted to the Superior Court at Tacoma, Wash., where she was beaten in two further contests. She then brought the controversy back to the Probate Court at Minneapolis and attempted to establish a lost will alleged to have been made by Mrs. Simpson after the other will was made, leaving everything to Mrs. Rhone, but which could not be found. Hester Keys, Sarah Middleton and Charles Dunwoody were witnesses for Mrs. Rhone and claim to have witnessed the lost will. First Will Sustained The Probate Court denied Mrs. Rhone's petition to establish the alleged lost will, but sustained the former original will and appointed Lucy Smith executrix of the estate. Not satisfied, Mrs. Rhone appealed to the District Court at Minneapolis and demanded a jury trial. When the case was called for trial Mr. Francis objected to having it heard before a jury upon the ground that the question to be determined was a question of law for the court to decide. Mr. Clark maintained that the point involved was a question of fact and therefore should be submitted to a jury. Judge Salmon finally allowed a jury to be drawn, but at the close of the testimony, and allow the matter to be defeated by the jury, but instead to return a verdict in favor of Lucy Smith. Mrs. Lucy Smith was present at the trial and has made three trips to St. Paul during these various contests. She left for Tacoma last Sunday, leaving all business in the hands of her attorney. Governor of Minnesota Urges Employment of Veterans Governor J. A. O. Press in a recent announcement to the press calls upon employers and the public at large to get squarely behind the efforts of the Employment Service of the U. S. Veterans' bureau in its endeavor to provide suitable permanent employment for the veterans who have been trained in many vocations, under the supervision of the U. S. Veterans' bureau. He says: "I trust that employers and the general public will give this employment service their utmost cooperation. We do not merely owe it to the men as a recognition of their services, but employers will benefit themselves by engaging the trained men and the public welfare demands that they be given remunerative employment." The Veterans' bureau employment service was established to serve the rehabilitated men and the employers, for their mutual advantage, without expense to either. It serves as liaison agency between the two. At the present moment well trained men are available for employment in the following skilled lines: Two auto electricians, five auto mechanics, auto electrician and batteryman, building estimator and superintendent of construction, building estimator, two battery repairmen, bookkeeper who operates Ellot-Fisher machine, three bookkeepers, two mechanical dentists, two stationary engineers, two mobile telephone, wireless maintenance man, telegrapher, vulcanizer and batteryman, undertaker, undertaker and embalmer, welder, window decorator and show card writer. Other trained men in practically every trade and profession can be furnished through this employment service. Write your needs to the U. S. Veterans' burean, Minneapolis, Fargo, St. Paul, Helena or Sloux Falls, and they will receive prompt and careful attention. Victor In Long Suit Over Will Attorney W. T. Francis scored another legal victory when he won a long drawn out will contest in the Minneapolis district court last week. WELFARE SPEAKERS IN SAINT PAUL MAY 10 T. Arnold Hill and Dr. George Hall Will Deliver Addresses Next Week. Election of officers and the routine business of going into a permanent organization occupied the second meeting of the local conference Wednesday night at Union Hall. Only 21 delegates participated in the voting. Owen Howell was elected chairman, Mrs. Maude Brooks, vice chairman, Mrs. Lucille Weber, secretary, and Mrs. George Gooden-treasurer. T. Arnold Hill secretary of the Chicago Urban League, and Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, will speak in St. Paul, May 9 and 10 respectively, under the joint auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. and the newly formed local welfare conference, it was announced Friday. Dr. Hall, who is an eminent physician and prominent citizen of Chicago is an orator of national reputation. He will deliver an address on the social and civic conditions of the colored people at St. James A. M. E. church, corner Fuller and Jay streets, May 10 at 8 P. M.

On Wednesday, May 9, Mr. Hill will address a meeting of all women's organizations at the Y. W. C. A. center at 3 P. M. Local leaders are urging that a large audience of women meet to hear him at that time. STERLING CLUB HOST TO COLLEGE STUDENTS College men from the three campuses of Hamline, Macalester and the University of Minnesota were the guests of the Sterling Club Friday, May 4, in the East room of Union Hall. A program of short talks and musical numbers was presented by the men students. Mason W. Fields and Frederick D. Inge gave short addresses on the colored students in college. Albert M. Butler rendered two piano numbers and Charles M. Tucker played a violin solo. Arrangement of the program was in charge of Roy Wilkins. Mr. W. E. Alexander, president of the Sterling club in a short response to the program and discussion said that the club wished to encourage college students in every way and would co-operate with them as much as possible in their work. Oldest Senator Dies On Train Knute Nelson, Minnesota's "grand old man" in the United States senate died last Saturday aboard a train bound for Minnesota. More than 10,000 people filed past his bier in the state capitol Tuesday. Burial was at his home in Alexandria, Minn. Wednesday. $2.00 PER YEAR PERSONNEL FOR VET HOSPITAL TO BE COLORED President's Secretary Assures N. A. A. C. P. Staff Will Be Colored PRESIDENT SETTLES MATTER Says Trained Colored Professional Men Can Now Show Their Capacity. New York, May 1.—President Harding has broken silence on the Tuskegee Hospital situation to inform the National Association for the advancement of Colored People that the institution on Tuskegee grounds for the care of colored veterans of the world war is to be manned entirely by colored personnel, including colored doctors and nurses. This decision ends the fear that has prevailed for some time that an attempt would be made through the Veterans' Bureau to man the colored hospital with white doctors and nurses leaving only menial labor for colored people. "Completely Colored Personnel" The letter of Mr. Christian, directed to the association, containing the news, is as follows: "April 28, 1923. "My Dear Mr. Seligmann: "Your communication of April 19th has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of Tuskegee hospital is well under way. It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel. It is not an easy matter to perfect such an organization under the limitations of the civil service, but the program is being worked out in a most encouraging and gratifying way. The Tuskegee experiment is going to afford the trained representatives of the colored race to give proof of their capacity and efficiency in a highly important public service. "Yours sincerely. "(Signed) GEO. B. CHRISTIAN, Jr., "Served to the President." Letter Follows Appeals" The letter from Mr. Christian follows two appeals to President Harding, sent by the N. A. A. P. C., both pointing out that the effect of depriving colored doctors and nurses of the opportunity to treat colored war veterans, in a hospital designed for them exclusively and built upon ground given to the government by Tuskegee Institute, would be most unfortunate. Some United States Veterans' Bureau News The David Wisted post of the American Legion of Duluth, Minnesota, has presented the soldier colony at Veteransville with a complete radio set and installed the same. A delegation from the post went to veteransville to present the outfit, inspected the settlement and arranged to co-operate with the disabled men there in various helpful ways. It is the duty of the Veterans' Bureau to provide training to all ex-service man who received a vocational handicap as a result of their war service. Recently a soldier claimed a handicap that was entirely new to the Bureau workers. It was a Volstead handicap. When this soldier went away to fight he was a bartender. When he returned he found the war had removed his occupation entirely. He claims he cannot return to his pre-war occupation and asks for vocational training. A general typewriter agent with offices in Misoula and several other Montana cities, has had two disabled veterans, who have hit him for the past eighteen months with the objective of typewriter repair man. He is so well satisfied with their progress and skill that he has provided permanent employment for both of them and now is ready to train others of the same type. The Veterans' Bureau specialist in charge of training is arranging placement training for about 150 men who are now taking agricultural training in the State College of Agriculture at Bozeman. These men as a rule have no land of their own or none that is suitable for general farming, so the Helena office is planning to establish farm colonies similar to five in Minnesota and one in South Dakota. The Claims division of the Veterans' Bureau recently awarded compensation for nervous disability of war origin to an ex-service man who is an inmate of the Montana state hospital. The compensation, amounting to $2,900, will be paid to his legal guardian, as well as the $80 per month to which he is also entitled. In responding to calls for service those able to pay are asked to do so at the rate of the salary received by those who extend the calls, for the time required and expenses. As my work is entirely unprofessional and unofficial I pay the full rate for traveling and other expenses. 302 Court Block, 24 E. Fourth Street. Phone Cedar 5649 J. Q. Adams .....

ON SOLIDARITY Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, during his recent appearance in the Twin Cities spoke truthfully and feelingly on the lack of solidarity in the ranks of the colored people in their struggle against injustice and discrimination. Most colored communities have to plead guilty to the charge, but indications are that St. Paul is rapidly stepping out from under the accusation by uniting for the good of the whole group. Such movements as the trade promotion campaign just closed are evidences that slowly but surely colored people are realizing that in unity lies not only strength, but salvation. The Business league and others who helped to promote the week are to be congratulated. If colored people will trade within their own group insofar as possible, and with other merchants who give employment to colored people, they will find that their dollars will build respect, influence and power such as they never dreamed could be possible. THE NELSON MEMORIAL THE APPEAL is in hearty accord with the suggestion of the Pioneer Press and Dispatch that the plot of ground opposite the Johnson statue on the Capitol approach be made the site of a shaft or statute to commemorate the late Senator Knute Nelson. Seator Nelson was a representative of all the people of the state. He served colored and white alike with fairness and impartiality. The people of the state could not do less than to recognize in some permanent form the services of one of their greatest servants. W. D. SCOTT Colored voters across the river would do well to place a cross opposite the name of W. D. Scott, candidate for municipal judge of Minneapolis. Mr. Scott it was who argued the case of one Smithies before Governor Preus was seeking to take him back to Tulsa and a lynching party. Mr. Scott it was who prevented the extradition of Smithies to Tulsa and certain death—free of charge. In this work he was aided by Attorney Gale P. Hilver of Minneapolis. Mr. Scott is being endorsed by the Sleeping and Dining Car Employees' union, but it is hoped at the primaries and the election he will receive the endorsement of all colored voters. THE APPEAL believes in helping the man who helps us. The new veterans' hospital at Tuskegee is to be manned by a "completely colored personnel" according to word from the White House. So that is settled. In order to gain for the Twin City tennis enthusiasts the publicity they rightly deserve and in order to place the two cities in line for representation at national tennis meets, THE APPEAL will open its columns to news of tennis matches and gossip of tennis players of both cities. Several individual players have endorsed this idea and the paper takes this means of inviting further comment from players. Why not a tennis club and a regular tennis_correspondent? KLEANING THE KLAN The skeleton of the Invisible Empire is fast becoming visible. While charges and counter-charges fly between the Imperial Emperor and the Imperial Wizard, the Imperial Palace is guarded from profane hands by two deputy sheriffs. The Exalted Cyclops and thirty-three of his cohorts, fresh from the late unpleasantness at Morehouse Parish, gallop to the support of the Imperial Emperor. The ex-Imperial Wizard is prevented from doing likewise by an unfortunate pending Federal charge. The Grand Kleagle for Texas announces that the 325 local organizations of that state with their 150,000 members are backing the Imperial Wizard. The Imperial Emperor is charged with being without legal authority; from three to five thousand of the faithful meet in the lodge rooms of Nathan Bedford Forrest Klan No. 1 to rectify this omission. The attorney for the Imperial Wizard claims that the Imperial Emperor agreed last year to take $1,000 a month and let others run the order, "but it kills him to see other folks taking in more than that." The Imperial Wizard himself is charged with receiving into his personal account three dollars out of the ten paid by each new member.

SHOULD KNOW Any questions regarding subjects in these articles or other dental work should be addressed to the Health Editor of the Appeal. Dr. Weber will publish the answers each week in this column. By E. S. WEBER, D. D. S. Should a woman visit a dentist after conception? If so, at what period? At what period is there danger in having work done? Why is it necessary for her to visit a dentist at all? There are many obvious reasons why a woman should visit a dentist during pregnancy. When a woman conceives, a great load, a great burden, is thrown upon her. She not only has her own body to nourish but she also has that of her pre-natal child, she must give to it part of the nourishment or part of the elements she would use for her own existence. This weakens her somewhat, because the organs of the body are not nourished in their fullness, hence they are underfed and as a result they have not as much resistance as they are wont to have under normal conditions. This is the reason why she frequently feels faint, or actually faints away, is often either giddy, sick, or in some instances ever hysterical. Now what have the teeth to do with the matter? I said that owing to the fact that the expectant mother has to nourish her pre-natal child as well as herself, her entire bodily resistance is increased and more susceptible to sickness and disease. The teeth undergo the same changes as the other organs of the body during this period. Part of the calcium and lime salts that render the teeth more tenacious, hard and more durable for long usage are given for the benefit of the child, hence the teeth and adjacent tissues of the mouth are made more durable, able to the diseases of that particular organ. It is very urgent then that a woman during this period should be examined. If she has any weak, broken-down teeth, by all means have them extracted, because they might give trouble at a time when it would be dangerous to remove them, because they might suffocate from them, correct all leaky crowns, filling and the like. When should this work be done, and when is it dangerous to work? The months in which there is danger are the third, fourth, fifth and seventh, particularly the third month, during the period of the month when memorial work should be occurred. The memorial work that would have great deal of effort on the part of the patient should be done during the week of any month she would have menstruated. The safest time to have work done is shortly after it is certain that she has conceived. From that time on up you can expect to have any necessary dental operation, and of course the open months too. Now, let's view this from another angle. Some of you readers have no doubt read my previous articles. I placed emphasis on the significance of keeping the mouth in a good healthy position, broken down and doubtful, turgid faulty fillings, crowds and bridges should be corrected, etc., because these conditions favor the growth of bacteria and make you more susceptible to infection and disease. Surely one day during such a delicate period. Then think of your unborn child feeding and depending upon you for sustenance and life, and you in a weak, run-down condition, perhaps, sickly, due to infection and disease. It is possible that you could happen to the child after birth. It is a known fact that a mouth in a deplorable condition lowers one's resistance, so it can plainly be seen that if the mother's resistance is being lowered by these faults, the child's is, too, and that of the woman during pre-natal life. Then, too, you want your mouth to be sweet and clean, your breath also, just like that of the child, when you kiss it "boo woo," bite it on the cheek and like it. So close, I urge you to visit your centric physician as you would your physician during this period. It is actually a necessity and it will mean a great deal both to the mother and child. (In articles which will appear soon, Dr. Weber will deal with other phases of dental work during pregnancy.) YOUR HAND How to Read Your Characteristics and Timing-Save Capabilities or Work measures That Make for Success or Failure as Shown in Your Palm LOSS OF MONEY IN THE HAND AS WE may read by various signs in the hand that the fortunate subject has acquired, or is to acquire, wealth through inheritance or through his or her own decrets, so may we read also, in the hand the loss of wealth, after it has been possessed and enjoyed. Inspect carefully the finger of Saturn, the middle or ring finger, near the top, for a star. If it appears plainly near the edge of the finger it indicates the position of Saturn. So should the base of Saturn, which lies at the base of the same finger. If it bears near the base or beginning of the mount, a sigmar line, the same loss is indicated. Naturally, it must be understood that these signs, as so many others in the hand, are not always perfectly clear and well-marked, and great care must be exercised in reading them, in conjunction with the other marks in the hand. © by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

OLD FOX FOOLS THE HUNTERS Also Eludes Dozen Hounds and Escapes to Her Hiding Place—Drowns Two Dogs. Black Hill, Conn.—The old gray fox that has had 16 years of complete victories in this part of the town was up against 16 hunters, a dozen hounds and some of the sharpest shots in the state and, as usual, eluded them all. She drowned two hounds in "blow holes" on the Quinebaug river and remained on Willeughs island until the dogs had all gone after hot deer trails. Then she trapped back across the thin ice and escaped to her hiding place in Tophet swamp. This old reprobate of the fox world has been shot at over 300 times, been hit a half hundred times and carries so much shot in her carcass that she waddles sideways, yet she still lives and is a terror to all poultry raisers for miles around.

CHAPTER II—Florence welcomes her, and Madeline asks her name. Boy, Gene Stewart. Next day Alfred Hammond, Madeline's brother, takes Madeline and exorcizes him of any wrong intent. CHAPTER III—Alfred, son of a wealthy family, had been dismissed from the board of the Dispensation. Madeline says that the man deemed him. She meets Stillwell. An employer, typical western ranchman, deemed him. Stewart has gone over the border. in a booming voice. He extended a huge hand. "Miss—Miss Majesty, sight of you is as welcome as the rain an' the flowers to an old desert cattleman." Madeline greeted him, and it was all she could do to repress a cry at the way he crushed her hand in a grasp of iron. He was old, white-haird, weather-beaten, with long furrows down his cheeks and with gray eyes almost hidden in wrinkles. If he was smiling she fancied it the most extraordinary smile. The next instant she realized that it had been a smile, for it appeared to stop rippling the light drizzled down and rudely chiseled stone. The quality of hardness she had seen in Stewart was immeasurably intensified in this old man's face. "Miss Majesty, it's plumb humiliated' to all of us that we wasn't on hand to WWW MYERS "Mia Majesty, it's Plumb Hummilitin! On Hand to Meet Me, Still Well Said "Miss Majesty, it plimsul Plum Hummilitin! To All of Us that We Wasn't on Hand to Meet You," Stillwell Said. meet you," Stillwell said. "I'm sure afraid it was a bit unpleasant fer you last night at the station. Wal, I am some glad to tell you that there's no man in these parts except your brother that I'd as lief he met you as Gene Stewart." "Indeed" "Yes, an that's takin' into consideration Gene's weakness, not. You all fond of sayn' of myself the last of the old cattlemen. Wal, Stewart's not a native westerner, but he's picture of the last of the cowbys. Sure he comes, but he the last of the old style--the pictures of chivalrous, too, I make hold to say, Miss Majesty, as well as the old hardridin' kind. Folks are down on Stewart. An' I only sayin' a good word for him because he is down, an' mebbe last night he might be scared you, you bein' fresh from the East." Madeline fixed the old fellow for his loyalty to the cowboy he evidently cared for; but as they did not seem anything for her to say, she remained silent. "Miss Majesty, I reckon, bein' as you're in the West now, that you must take things as they come, an' mind each thing a little less than the one before. If we old fellers hadn't been that way we'd never laisted. "Last night wasn't particular bard, ratin' with some other nights later. There wasn't much doin'. But I had a hard knock. Yesterday when we started in with a bunch of cattle I sent one of my cowboys, Danny Maina, in carryin' money, hied to pay off hands, my mpills, I I wanted that money to get in town before dark. Wal, Danny was held up. I don't distrust the lad. There's been strange Greasers in 'n town lately, an' ambehe they knew about the money comin'. "Wal, when I arrived with the cattle I was some put to it to make ends meet. An' today I wasn't in no angelic humor. When I had my business all done I went around pokin' my nose heah an' there, tryin' to get scent of the money. An' I happened in at a hall we hev that does duty for jall an' hospital an' election-post an' what not. Wal, just when it was dun' duty as a hospital. Last night was fiesta night—these Greasers he a fiesta event—one the one Greaser who had been and hurt was laxir' the hall, where he had been fetched from the station. "The hall was full of cowboys, ranchers, Greasers, miners, an' town folks, along with some strangers. I was about to get started up this way when Pat Haws come in. "Pat, his the sheriff. He come into the hall, an' he was roarin' about things. He was gone to arrest Danny Matson on night. Wal, I just polite-like told Pat that the money was mine an' he needn't get rlied about it. An' if I wanted to trail the thief I reckon I could do it as well as anybody. "Then he cooled down a bit 'an' was askin' questions about the wounded Greaser when Gene Stewart comes in. When Wagner put an 'Gene' come together it reminds me of the early days back in the 'seventies. Jett naturally everybody shut up. For Pat hates Gene, I reckon Gene isn't very sweet on vape. " "Hello Stewart!" You're the seller I lookin' for, said Pat. "There was some queer goons on last night that you know some'in about. Danny Mains robbed—Stillwell's money gone—your roban horse gone—an' this Greaser gone, too. Now, see'n that you was up late an' prow'n round the station where this Greaser was found, it ain't unreasonable to think DUBOIS TO TELL HARLEM OF CALIFORNIA FOLK New York, April 26 (K. N. F. Service)—Dr. W. E. K. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, who has recently returned from a trip to the Pacific coast, will address a meeting at the Harlem Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Sunday, in California. It is in excitement, Dr. DuBois says, the picture will tell of what colored people on the coast are doing in the way of advancement. you might know how he got plugged—is it? "Stewart laughed, kind of cold, an he rolled a cigarette, all the time eon't Pat, an then he said it he'd plugged the Greaser if'd never he've been such a bungin' job. "I can arrest you on suspicion, Stewart, but before I go the far I want some evidence. I want to find out what's become of your host. You never lent him since you hed him, an there ain't enough raiders across the border to steal him from you. It's got a queer look—that hoss bein' gone. You was drunk last night? "Stewart never batted an eye. "You met some woman on Number Eight, didn't you? shouted Hawe. "I met a lady; replied Stewart, quietly insulted me." "You met Al Hammond's sister, an you took her up to Kingsgleys. An ench this, my cowboy cavalier, I'm gin' up there an' ask this grand dame some questions, an' if she's as close-mouthed as you are 'I'll arrest her.'" "Gene Stewart turned white. I for one expected to see him jump like lightnin', as he does when he's riled sudden. But he was calm an' he was thinkin' hard. Presently he said: "Pat, that's a fool idea, an' if you do the trick it'll hurt you all the rest of your life. There's absolutely no reason to frighten Miss Hammond. An' tryin' to arrest her would be such a d—outrage as won't be stood for in El Cajon. If you're sore on me send me to jail. I'll go. If you want to hurt Al Hammond, go an' do it some man kind of way. Don't take your spite out on us by insulta' a lady who has come hyar to hew a little visit. We're bad enough without binn' low-downtown. It was a long talk for Gene, an' I was as surprised as the rest of the fellers. It was plain to me an' others who spoke of it afterward that Pat Have hed forgotten the law an' the officer in the man an' his hate. "I'm a-goin', an' I'm a-goin' right now! he shouted. "Stewart seemed kind of chokin', an' he seemed to heven be bewildered by the idea of Hawes' confrontin' you. "An ' finally he burst out': 'But, man, think who it is!' It's Miss Hawmond! I if you see her, even if you was loced or drunk, you--you couldn't do it.' "Couldn't I? Wal, I'll show you d—n quick. What do I care who she is? They swell eastern women—Ive beard of them. They're not so much. This Hammond woman—" "Suddenly Hweh put up, an' with his red mug turmil' green he went for his gun. She stuwwed in his narrative to get breath, and he wiped his moist brow. And now his face began to lose its cragginess. It changed, it softened, it rippled and wrinkled, and all that strange mobility focused and shone in a wonderful smile. "An then, Miss Majesty, then there was somethin' happened. Stewart took Pat's gun away from him and threw it on the floor. An' what followed was beautiful. Sure it was the beautiful sight I ever seen. Only it was over so soon! A little while after, when the doctor came, he had another patient besides the wounded Greesen, an' he said that this new one would require about four months to be up an' around cheerful-like again. An' Gene Stewart hit the trail for the border." CHAPTER IV A Ride From Sunrise to Sunset. Next morning, when Madeline was aroused by her brother, it was not yet daybreak; the air chilled her, and in the gray gloom she had to feel around for matches and lamp. Her usual languid manner vanished at a touch of the cold water. Presently, when J. A. B. BROOKLYN COUPLE New York, April 26 (K. N. F. Service)—An autopsy was performed at the Kings County Hospital morgue on April 26, 2014, the death the night before of Miss Ellen Ross, 26, 2 Fair street, Brooklyn, and Harry Pope, 30, janitor at the same address. In which the two had been drinking earlier in the evening, was given as the cause of the death. We're rushing you off. I'm sorry to say; but we must hustle back to the ranch. The fall round-up begins to tomorrow. You will ride in the buckboard with Florence and Stillwell. I'll ride on ahead with the boys and fix up a little for you at the ranch. It's a long ride out—nearly fifty miles by wagon-road. Fle, don't forget a couple of robes. Wrap her up well. And hustle getting ready. We're waiting." A little later, when Madeline went out with Florence, the gray gloom was lightening. Horses were champing bits and pounding gravel. "Maswin'n, Miss Majesty," said Stillwell, gruffy, from the front seat of a high vehicle. Alfred handed her up into the back seat, and Florence after her, and wrapped them with robes. Then he mounted his horse and started off. As Madeline gared about her and listened to her companions, the sun rose higher and grew warm and soared and grew hot; the horses held treelessly to their steady trot, and mile after mile of rolling land slipped by. From the top of a top of Madeline saw down into a hollow where a few of the cowboys had stopped and were sitting round a fire, evidently busy at the noonday mealt. Their horses were feeding on the long, gray grass. "Wal, smell of that burnin' greenwood makes my mouth water," said Stillwell. "I'm sure hungry. Well now bairn-ay" let the horses rest, it's a long pull to the ranch." During lunch-time Madeline observed that she was an object of manifestly great interest to the three cowboys. She returned the compliment, and was amused to see that a glance their way caused them painful embarrassment. They were grown men—one of whom had white hair—yet they acted like boys caught in the act of stealing a forbidden look at a pretty girl. "Cowboys are sure all flirts," said Florence, as if stating an uninteresting fact. But Madeline detected a merry twinkle in her clear eyes. The cowboys heard, and the effect upon them was magical. They fell to shamed confusion and to hurried useless tasks. "Haw, haw!" roared Stillwell. "Florence, you jess hit the nail on the hail. Cowbirds are all plumb flirts. I wondern' why them boys nooned hyar. This ain't no place to noon. Ain't no grainh' or wood with burnin' but nuthin'. They boys jest held up, thrown the packs an' waited for us. It ain't so surprising' fer Boony an' Ned—they're young an' coltish—but Nels there, why, he's old enough to be the paw of both you girls. It sure is amaz' in' strange'. A silence ensued. The white-haired cowboy, Nels, fussed amlessly over the campfire, and then straightened up with a very red face. Bill you're a dog-gone liar," he said. "I'll show you how to be classified with Boony an' Ned. There ain't no cowboy on this range that's more appreciat' of the ladies than me, but I shore an' ridin' out of my way. I reckon I hew enough ridin' to do. Now, Bill, if you've sich dog-gone good eyes mebbe you seen somethin' on the way out?" "Nels, I haven't seen nothin'," he replied, bluntly. "Jest take a squint at these hoss tracks," said Nels, and he drew Stillwell a well paces aside and pointed to large hoopprints in the dust. "I reckon you know the hoss that made them?" "Gene Stewart's roan, or I'm a son-of-a gun!" exclaimed Stillwell, and he dropped heavily to his knees and began to scrutinize the tracks. Nels, who ever was straddin' Stewart's hoss met somebody. An they hauled up a bit, but didn't git down." "Tolerable good for you, Bill, that reasonin'," replied the cowboy. "I reckon you know hoss made the other tracks?" "I'm thinkin' hard, but I ain't sure." "It was Danny Mains' bronc." "How do you know that?" demanded Stillwell, sharply. "Bill, the left front of the little hoss always wears a shoe that sets crooked. Any of the boys can tell you. I know that tracif I was I blind." "Nels, you don't think the boy's sloped with the little hussy. Bonita?" sloped with the little hushy, Bonita". "Bill, he shore was sweet on Bonita, because as Gene was, an 'Ed Linton before she's shore chain-lightin', that little black-eyed danny. Danny might sloped with her all right. Danny was held up on the way to town, an 'then in the shame of it he got drunk. But he'll show up soop." "Wal, mebble you an 'the boys are right. I believe you are. Nels, there ain't no doubt on earth about who was ridin' Stewart's host." "The's as plain as the host's track." "Wal, it's all amazing' strange. It beats me. I wish the boys would ease up on drinkin'. I was pretty fond of Gene. Gene's afraid Gene's afraid where he can fight it won't take long for him to get plugged. I guess I'm gattin' old. I don't stand things like I used to." "Bill, I reckon I'd better hit the Peloconti trail. Moblie I can find Danny." "I reckon you had, Nela," replied Stillwell. "But don't take more'n a couple of days. We can't do much on the round-up without you. I'm short of boys." "And the conversation. Stillwell immediately began to hitch up his team, and the cowboys went out to fetch their strayed horses. Made-line had been curiously interested, and she saw that Florence knew it. "Things happen, Miss Hammond," she said, soberly, almost sadly. Madeline thought. And then straightway Florence began brightly to hum a tune and to busy herself repacking what was left of the lunch. Madeline suddenly conceived a strong liking and respect for this Western girl. Soon they were once more bowling Phone Dale 9652 P. H. ENMARK Bicycles, Supplies and Repairs GO-CARTS RE-TIRED 608 University St. Paul along the road down a gradual incline, and then they began to climb a long ridge that had for hours hidden what lay beyond. That climb was rather tiresome, owing to the sun and the dust and the restricted view. Presently, at the top of the steep ascent, Stillwell got out and walked, leading the team. During this long climb fatigue claimed Madeline, and she drowsily closed her eyes, to find when she opened them again that the glaring white sky had changed to a steel-blue. The sun had sunk behind the foothill and the air was growing chilly. Stillwell had returned to the driving-seat and was chuckling to the horse. Shadows crept up out of the house. "Wal, Flo," said Stillwell, "I reckon we'd better hear the rest of there lunch before dark." "You didn't leave, much of it," laughed Florence, as she produced the hakeet from under the seat. While they ate, the short twilight shaded and gloom filled the hollows. Madeline was glad to have the robes close around her and to lean against Florence. There were drowsier spells in which she lost a feeling of where she was, and these were disturbed by the jolt of wheels over a rough place. Then came a blank interval, short or long, which ended in a more violent lurch of the buckboard. Madeline awoke to find her head on Florence's shoulder. She sat up laughing and apologizing for her laziness. Florence assured her they would soon reach the ranch. It was a crackling and roaring of fire that awakened Madeline next morning, and the first thing she saw was a huge stone fireplace in which lay a bundle of blazing sticks. Some one had kindled a fire while she slept. For a moment the curious sensation of being lost returned to her. She just dimly remembered reaching the ranch and being taken into a huge house. And it seemed to her that she had gone to sleep at once, and had awakened without remembering how she had gotten to bed. With a knock on the door and a cheerful greeting, Florence entered, carrying steaming hot water. "Good mawnin', Miss Hammond, Hope you slept well. You sure were tired last night. I imagine you'll find this old ranch-house as cold as a barn. It'll warm up directly. Al's gone with the boys and Bill. We're to ride down on the range after breakfast. Breakfast will be ready soon, and after we'll look about the place." Madeline was charmed with the old Spanish house, and the more she saw of it the more she thought what a delightful home it could be made. All the doors opened into a courtyard, or patio, as Florence' called it. The house was low, in the shape of a rectangle, and so immense in size that Madeline wondered if it had been a Spanish barracks. Florence led the way out on a porch and waved a hand at a vast, colored void. "That's what Bill likes," she said. At first Madeline could not tell what she was land. The immensity of the scene stunned her faculties of conception. She sat down in one of the old rocking-chairs and looked and looked, and knew that she was not grasping the reality of what stretched wondrously before her. "We're up at the edge of the foothills," Florence said. "I'll sure take you a little while to get used to being up high and seeing so much. That's the secret—we're up high, the air is clear, and there's the whole bare world beneath us. Here—see that of children in our bed, see that of round-up. The boys are there, and the cattle. Wait, I'll get the glasses." "The round-up! I want to know all about it—to see it," declared Madeline. "Please tell me what it means, what it's for, and then take me down there." "It'll sure open your eyes, Miss Hammond. I'm glad you care to know. Your brother would have made a big success in this cattle business if it hadn't been for crooked work by rival ranchers. He'll make it yet, in spite of it." "Indeed he shall," replied Madeline. "But tell me, please, all about the round-up." "Well, in the first place, every cattleman has to have a brand to identify his stock. Without it no cattleman, nor half a hundred cowboys, if he had so many, could ever recognize all the cattle in a big hard. There are no fences on our ranges. They are all open to everybody. Every year we have two big round-ups, but the boys do some branding all the year. A calf should be branded as soon as it's found. This is a safeguard against cattle-thieves. We don't have the rusting of herds and bunches of cattle like we used to. "We have our big round-up in the fall, when there's plenty of grass and water, the riding-stock as well as the cattle. The cattle in the cattleman in the valley meet with their cowboys and drive in all the cattle they can find. Then they brand and cut out each man's hard and drive it toward home. Then they go on up or down the valley, make another camp, and drive in more cattle. It takes weeks." For Madeline the morning hours slow by, with a goodly part of the time spent on the porch gazing out over that ever-changing vista. At noon a team-star drove up with her trunks. Then while Florence helped the Mexican woman get lunch Madeline unpacked part of her effects and got out things for which she would have immediate need. After lunch she changed her dress for a riding-habit and, going out (To be continued next week) WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL The "Saintly City" and Saintly City Folk—Neway Items of Social, Religious, Political and General Matters Among the People.

"GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN" By Adina Adams Gibbs Today, May 4th, is my father's 75th birthday. If he were here with us we would celebrate it in some way—some sort of family celebration—for it would also mark the 31st anniversary of his marriage. But he has gone away—just around the corner—to stay. We celebrate this day, however, just the same, for the real man Father who is ever with us as a sweet perfume which has permeated our lives so thoroughly that we feel we have him with us, even though we cannot see him with our eyes- or touch him with our hands. The memory of him will always be close and dear to me. Some words of Howard A. Walter, which were among father's favorite quotations, come to me at this time. They express so well what he earnestly desired to be: "I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all—the foe—the friendless: I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble. for I know my weakness; I would look up—and laugh—and love —and lift." I know father loved God for he loved all that is good, true and right. I know he dearly loved his family. He often told us so, and manifested it daily in deeds of thoughtfulness, kindness and unselfishness. He believed it was the little things that made people happy, and so there was never a birthday, holiday or anniversary of any kind in the family that was not remembered by him and the small gifts he gave on those occasions were evidences of love and thoughtfulness, and the spending of much valuable time rather than the expenditure of money that was called to send my mother a valentine on February 14 and many times they were uniquely designed and beautifully made by his own hands. Whatever he did for any of us was done well, and though frequently it took a long time, he always finished what he started. I know father loved his home, for he delighted in doing the things which made home happy. He loved to work there, and spent many days in helping to make his house a comfortable and pleasant place to live in. Father loved his sister, but his love for his brother Cyrus was second only to his love for us. There are but few brothers who love as they loved. They exchanged letters daily for many years previous to and up to the time father passed away. My father loved his friends. He delighted in entertaining them at table, and in his home generally. Nothing seemed to make him more happy than to be preparing for some social activity which he hoped would give them pleasure. He enjoyed seeing people have "a good time," and was seldom absent from any gathering of any nature to which he had been invited. And my father loved humanity—colored humanity. His work which constituted his livelihood, was a life-long endeavor to help his people to better things. We reverence him for all that he was—sincere, uncompromising strong of purpose, true to his convictions. What he believed he said in no uncertain terms in the columns of this newspaper, of which he was the editor for 36 years, and through which he put up almost a lifetime fight for the cause of rights and freedom for a persecuted race. The "trials and tribulations" of the colored man were the source of the deepest concern to him. No lynching, segregation nor even the slightest discount to any member of the race could bring more grief nor indignation to members of the victim's immediate family than to him; and whenever it was possible he took time to write to, or see personally, that person, in order to show his interest, express his sympathy, and offer what aid he could. My father loved good books, music and poetry. He spent many hours morning and evening, reading aloud to his family, or telling of something he had already read. He had a hobby, too! It was writing verses which rhymed, and which he called "doggerel"—always with a laugh. He was not conceived nor vain, though he was continually showered with fattery and compliments of all kinds. An old friend once said to him: "You are handsome, Mr. Adams—you always were. I love to look at you." Father answered, "If it gives you pleasure of money, then look at me. Then I'm glad what you call handsome." And that expressed exactly how he felt. He gave himself always, fully and truly, in every way possible, and by so doing we feel he preved that he answered well by his life the questions fraught with so much meaning: "Have you been faithful?" "Have you loved?" Unselfled love such as he gave is achieved all that has ever been accomplished in history for any people. And that is why we pay tribute to him today.

The facts contained in this report are worthy of careful study by every person who wants to learn the truth about railroads. The report states: 1. That the railroads in 1922 had a net railway operating income of $777,000,000. 2. That in view of the fact that the fixed charges of the railroads, including interest, rents and similar deductions, are around $689,000,000, "it will be seen that, regardless of any disputes about valuations, the roads did not earn enough in 1922 even if account be taken of the non-operating income which, before Federal control, averaged about $200,000,000 for the Class I operating steam roads. 3. That a return of 5% per cent on the Commission's tentative valuation of Class I roads would be $1,116,000,000 annually, whereas the net railway operating income for 1922 was $777,000,000. In other words, the railroads failed by nearly $340,000,000 to earn the 5% per cent allowed by law. 4. That "from the standpoint of the public, which is interested in the adequacy of the service, and in the fairness of the charges, two facts stand out prominently; one, an enormous traffic has recently been handled in spite of strike handicaps; two, the average revenue per ton mile is pretty well in line with the general level of wholesale prices and there is no reason to believe that the general level of rates is retarding the business revival."

GILLES SAYS: Rent receipts do not help much towards paying the undertaker or supporting the widow and the orphans after one is dead. Buying or building one's home on the installment plan often enables one to save where he would not do so otherwise. The fact that he has something at stake, and must make good on it, is a blessing in disguise. Think It Over and Consult Your Real Estate Dealer 323 Metropolitan Bank Building. Tel. Cedar 8190.
