"The Public Servant of the Citizens of Washington. VOL· 41, NO. 34 EDITORIAL BODDY CASE CAUSES LEGAL DISCUSSION. The young colored man, Boddy, who killed two policemen in a neighboring state and who has been written up in daily and weekly press as a criminal of first water, appears to have the law on his side in connection with the death of the policemen. Public opinion is divided on the matter. The division of opinion seems to be based on the fact that Boddy was a colored man and the policemen were white men. If Boddy had been white and two colored policemen without warrant had attempted to force him into prison for the purpose of using the third degree, plainly the case would have been received by the public in a different frame of mind. Boddy was walking down a public street when accosted by two white policemen. If they had no warrant for his arrest and no charge against him, he was within his rights if he turned a deaf ear to their calls. But when, through courtesy, he stopped and learned their mission, there is no wonder that a free man, experienced in methods of the law, should protest. Nor is there special wonder that, finding his protest of no avail, and being perfectly aware of his right to liberty, Boddy offered resistance to physical force which attempted to treat him as a slave who had no rights that a white man is bound to respect. If that resistance caused the death of the policemen, it should teach others without proper authority to beware. The case is somewhat similar to that of Carrie Johnson who killed a local detective who attempted physical force without due process of law or proper warrant. No one would encourage killing policemen, but vehement insistence must be made upon their acting within their rights. Boddy should go free. The police not their death not in line of duty. Boddy killed them in emphatic assertion of his rights. IRELAND IS FREE: After centuries of struggle and conflish, the Irish Celt has won freedom from his Saxon oppressor. For centuries the Irish cause has been one of the great lost causes of creation. Now the lost cause has come into its own and Ireland, the nation, has opportunity for a glorious future. Ireland owes her present freedom in large measure to the darker peoples of the world. It is generally conceded that if Britain had to deal with Ireland alone, the shamrock would be in bondage today. But unrest in Egypt, India, South Africa and China, wherever Britain's interests touched darker races, made the Irish situation too difficult to control at the same time. Freedom of Ireland after centuries of struggle is calculated to make the Irish more sympathetic and benevolent toward races still going through the period of struggle and attrition. London Bridge seems to be falling down. It is expected that wise Irishmen who look toward America for the greatest source of development of the Shamrock Isle, will discover the wisdom of political alliance with the Southern Negro, who produces the raw material Ireland needs for her commercial development.

Charles Denton Young died last week in Africa, and was buried with military honors in Lagos, Nigeria, the British protectorate, to which place he had come for medical attention and to take ship for France, where his family resides. Young was the only man positively identified with the colored race, who attained the rank of colonel in the regular United States army. This honor befell him because he was a hundred per cent army man. All colored men in the regular service who have risen above the grade of lieutenant can trace their success to Col. Young's inspiration and tutelage. Young is credited in army circles with the development of that rigid discipline which gave the United States army its crack troops, both white and colored. As a drillmaster of white troops, the black colonel was without a peer. More credit is given him for development of the 7th regiment of the old army than is usually given to Pershing. Young, like Wood and Roosevelt, was kept out of the world war. He was sent away from America on account of the militaristic influence in colored army circles that might develop around him. This exile to African climate brought premature death. Steps are being taken to bring the body to America. ANDREW THOMAS SPRINGS SURPRISE Andrew Thomas, smiling, manager of the Howard theatre, has gone into the tenth year of business. He will celebrate the passing of the decadal mark by introducing to the public a high class musical show next week. The show is said to be one of those laugh producers that seasons wholesome humor with the wildest of fantastic 1922 jazz. But apart from the jazz undercurrent, there are said to be in the show some new melodies which are calculated to set the city rocking. For the present names of leading men and women in the show are withheld, but if you fail to read the announcement or take in the show you are destined to miss one of the most enjoyable treats of the local theatrical season. Mahatma Ghandi, in the recent Indian referendum, has scored a splendid victory. It is likely that, like the Irish, he will succeed in bringing the British nation to terms. His policy of non-cooperation and disobedience MAHATMA GHANDI will continue in effect for another year in spite of all British attempts at repression. Ghandi's victory was England's signal defeat. The British had planned to bore from within, and had used Indian patriots and English money freely to bring about Ghandi's downfall. But the Indians demonstrated unexpected solidarity and left the British in a situation which forbodes great peril for 1922. WASHINGTON, D.

GARVEY ISSUES FIRST STATEMENT Urged for a statement, Mr. Garvey says: "My arrest is but the starting point of a great international conflict that will one day show the Negro not the worst off for the result. Enemies of the Negro race and enemies of my movement within the race have been plotting for some time to besmirch my character in order to hold me up to public ridicule and to cause me to lose favor among my people. "The villains have to go far to condemn or convict the conscience that is honest and true to itself, to man and to God. Let the combined forces of the world be mobilized on the principles of injustice, and 400,000,000 Negroes, under the leadership of Jesus Christ shall put them to flight. "My race has suffered much and for long, and the sight of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is for our liberation everywhere and for the freeing of Africa from the grasp of the exploiting tyrant. Cheap, villainous, parasitic members of my race have tried to discredit me because the Universal has made an inroad into their schemes of exploiting Continued on page 5 APARTMENTS FOR COLORED PEOPLE Mr. Arthur W.

Sumner Wormley has been elected by acclamation president of the Musolit Club. He was one of the founders of the organization, and has held membership steadily since the beginning of the Musolit idea. It is considered probable that the election of Dr. Wormley will attract to the club many of its former members, who have dropped from the rolls from time to time. The election is a popular one, both in club circles and in the community. BUSH GIVES LIFE FOR CHURCH William Bush, doorkeeper at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, a peaceful member and respectable citizen, was attacked at the church door by James Jackson and Joseph Burke Saturday evening and beaten in such manner that death resulted at Freedmen's Hospital a short while later. Burke and Jackson, it is alleged, had been put out of church some time ago, and came prepared to force their way into church meeting from which they had been expunged by order of Judge Bailey's Court. Bush, acting on his rights as trustee, met the invaders and bested Burke, his first assailant. Jackson then came to Burke's rescue, and between the two Bush met his death. After the affray Bush ran to the residence of Attorney Armand Scott, secured his services, then went to the home of Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue congregation, and from there to Freedmen's Hospital, where he died. Jackson and Burke, who were held on $1,000 bond, have had the charge of murder entered against them. They were not church members, but had been read out of the Florida Avenue congregation. FRANK WHEATON DIES IN NEW YORK Washington was shocked this week to learn of the death, presumably by suicide, of J. Frank Wheaton, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, I. B. P. O. E. of the World. It is said that Wheaton, having gone surety for Jerry Garier and provided $10,000 ball, could not withstand the shock of having his client abscond. Wheaton, it is understood, retired to his room at home and turned on the gas. He was a native of Hagerstown, Md., and at one time served as secretary to a representative from that state. For many years he was a leader in Democratic politics in New York City, and was assistant district attorney with Edward Swann. Wheaton was a Catholic, but was buried from Bethel Baptist Church Thursday night. Prominent, Washington Elks, Armand W. Scott, J. Finley Wilson, General Henry Forrest and others attended and spoke at the funeral ceremonies. MURRAY CASINO SHOOTING AFFRAY. Murray Casino, as has been freely predicted, became the scene of a shooting affray on You Street a few nights ago. The affair is generally regarded as the climax of the juvenile assemblies which frequent the place in quest of outlet for adolescent emotional hysteria. Although next to the police station, it appears that the authorities have given but little attention to the youth in teens who spend so much time during the wee snall hours in the gilded amusement jazz hall. James Cooper, 2008 L Street, nineteen years of age, jealous because of attentions paid his paramour by a rival swain, started to fight. When the police were called, he started to shoot. Others began to destroy their corn whiskey. Louis Grant of 8 Alexander's Court, was hit by a stray bullet and is in Freedmen's Hospital. Others arrested were John Washington and Thornton Brown, juveniles. Washington is alleged to have destroyed his "corn" as the officer approached him. This fracas at the Murray Casino is likely to precipitate the movement which has been organizing in churches and social circles to keep children off the streets at untoward hours of the night, and especially out of the cheap dance halls where proper recreational supervision is not provided. LET US PRAY!! Taken from The Daily Alarm. Henry D. Dobbin, Editor. "Satan see the note in the Christians eye blue never sees the beam in his own; better go back and keep your own door clean and leave God's children alone!" Well, so the story run. Murray's Casino, considered a pla n where young women need not be afraid nor ashamed to go—at least the was so until Monday, night last, w a biff, bang, bing, went window glasses as the free for-all began to gain fury in the dance hall. The multicontenders must have been out of the ordinary as no consideration was given the 8th Precinct Station fifty feet away. Just a few moments before the fracas, the gentlemen who have undertaken the task of shaping the weal and woe of the people of this district and who are owners of the dance hall, refused to consider the plea of a delegation of colored ministers to keeel the Florida Avenue Church fatality out of the press and refrain from stupidly attacking the pulpit. No—No—the people must be told the full story these gentlemen replied, not realizing that the devil never serves notice on who is next. Fighting between church factions began before Christ came to save man and continued after his departure—proof of this is evidenced in the numerous religious denominations of today. The Jews made the final and brilliant stand in the Temple. The *Continued on page 8.* Mr. I. N. Ross, Jr., son of Bishop Ross, and formerly physical director of the Y. M. C. A., has now accepted the position of vice president of the National Negro Publicity Bureau and advertising manager of the Washington Colored American. The Bee extends its congratulations to the enterprising young man and likewise its compliments to Mr. Taylor on his wise selection. AIR PLAY DEFENDED BY NEGRO ATTORNEYS Hamilton, Ontario, Jan. 18.—Time-yellowed documents of "slave trade" days have been thumbed industriously by Canadian officials in their search for a precedent law upon which to decide the case of Matthew Bullock. In delving into the ancient court records the Canadian barristers have found at least one historical near-parallel to the Bullock case—that of an American Negro slave, one Anderson, whose extradition was demanded in 1862 on the ground that he had slain his master, an Ohioan named Digges. Bullock's case is being pleaded by Canadaian members of his own race and by public officials who demand that the Negro be given every advantage of the immigration laws and that Canada may continue his haven the international courts in order from North Carolina authorities. Fair Trial Demanded. Bullock was arrested at Hamilton, Ontario, charged with having instigated a riot in North Carolina. Alleged by American officials to have crossed the border in March, 1921, to evade trial, he already has been examined by the immigration officer at Hamilton and ordered deported, but has appealed to the minister of immigration. In the meantime the Negro population of Toronto is demanding that Bullock be allowed to remain in Canada and former Mayor Church of Toronto has wired Premier King not to allow the Negro to be "railroaded" out of the country without a fair trial. Ottawa, Jan. 18.—"Please save my boy," reads a telegram that Mrs. Bullock has sent from Washington and which was read before the congregation of St. Paul's African Methodist Episcopal Church when a special public meeting and special collection was PREFERS NO COLORED TRADE Claims He is Strictly a White Man.

National prohibition began its third year in America today at a cost to the government of $665,000,000 in loss of revenues. To offset this loss, according to national dry leaders, two years of prohibition: swept away the saloon, cut drunkenness in half, decreased crime and saved $2,000,000,000 for Anterica. A vast improvement in enforcement conditions marked prohibition's third anniversary, officials said. Three "wet spots" remain where agents are now staging cleanups. These, it was said, are the Florida coast, line, the State of New Jersey and the city of Chicago. The Canadian and Mexican borders have been closed to rum snugglers, it was said, except for a few short stretches. Prohibition officials freely admitted that the illegal importation of liquors from the Bahama Islands gave them "considerable concern." The situation in Michigan, where rum traffic from Canada flourished, has been cleaned up while "dry patrols" on the international border have closed most of the rum running lines from Mexico into Texas. "There is considerable individual smuggling across the Canadian border, but most of the smuggling cliques have been dissolved," said Commissioner Haynes today. "It would take tens of thousands of agents to completely halt this traffic. We are concerned chiefly with the great smuggling organizations. Public opinion will ultimately halt individual smuggling." Magnetic Springs, Ohio, Jan. 17. Bobbed hair and short skirts will not be banished from Magnetic Springs under the old-fashioned administration, which Mrs. Mary McFadden, eighty, oldest woman mayor, launched today. "I can stand it if they can," she said, "but if it comes to wearing just a belt, the girls must wear a wide one." FORD MOVE TO BUY LINCOLN COMPANY STIRS AUTO KINGS. Much Interest Aroused Over Proposed Merger With Lelands. New York. January 11. In the move of Henry Ford to gain control of the Lincoln Motor Company, of Detroit, now in receivership, the princes of the motor industry, gathered here in great force to attend the national automobile show, are somewhat alarmed to perceive Ford's invasion of the "high class" car industry. If Ford intends to make a so-called high class machine, using the Lincoln motor as the base of the new product, the firms which heretofore have had to meet only the ordinary competition of their own kind may have to resist price cutting equivalent to that which makers of smaller machines experienced when Ford set out to bring the small automobile within the means of the working man. R. C. Getsinger, sales manager of the Lincoln Motor Company, is the highest authority of that firm in New York at present, although Wilfred C. Leland, vice president, is expected to arrive later. Getsinger did not have an information as to the sales plan that Ford is reported to have in mind. The present price of the Lincoln, he said, is $4,300, and he expected no radical reduction. It was reported on other authority, however, that Ford intends to bring to the manufacture of his "high class" vehicle the same kind of quantity production and management which enabled him to cut the price of the "flivver" to a figure which other makers of similar machines fear to attempt. A price of $2,000 for a first-class machine may be set by Ford, some of the automobile men understood. Getsinger, professing not to know the more intimate details of the financial understanding between Ford and the two Lelands—Henry M. and Wilfred C.—nevertheless was able to confirm the general outlines of this great merger of the motor world. His information was that the Fords had decided to back the Lelands and prevent their losing control of the organization to other outside interests. When the receivers' sale is held February 4, Getsinger understood, Edscl Ford and the Ford Motor Company by their representatives will buy the plant, intending then to dissolve the present Lincoln organization and build a new firm as a subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company. Henry M. Leland will eb president of this firm and Wilfred C. Leland will be vice president and general manager. The plan reported here, which coincided with Getsinger's understanding, was for the present sales force of the Lincoln to continue functioning, with, later on, the vigorous co-operation of the vast sales and agency force of the Ford Company. M. Hon. Perry W. Howard, who is making such a splendid record for himself and his race as special assistant attorney general, left Washington, D. C., last Sunday night for Jackson, Miss, where he is now engaged in taking testimony for the United States government for use in certain big cases now pending in the court of claims. The printed docket of the court of claims contains a long list of important railroad cases, involving millions of dollars, that are now being ably handled by this brilliant young harrister; several large cases have already been won by him and from reputable sources we learn that he stands "ace-high" in the Department of Justice. Mr. Howard will doubtless be warmly welcomed by his host of white and colored friends in his home town, Jackson, Miss. Expect Former President to Campaign for Revival. This appeared certain to as a result of a speech President Wilson to a thro admirers at his S Street home. In the light of Lloyd George's recent declaration in favor of a new association of nation's. Wilson's brief utterance took on added significance. It was Wilson's first speech since his collapse in 1919. It folded so closely the publication of a letter in which he declared the United States had not only lost its world leadership but had done injustice to other nations by failing to accept the league, that it was taken in some quarters to indicate an intention by Wilson to campaign so vigorously as his health will permit for revival of the league issue. "There can be no doubt about the vitality of the league," Wilson told his hearers. They had come from a mass meeting of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation at the National Theater, where a campaign for a $1,000,000 fund to perpetuate Wilson's ideals was started. INTER SE ART CLUB MEETS. The Inter Se Art Club met Tuesday, January 10, at the residence of Mrs. E. W. Harrison, 1101 Q Street Northwest. It being the birthday of the hostess the occasion was made a surprise party by the other members of the club. On some pretext she was called next door and detained for a few minutes. During her absence the conspirators redecorated the dining table, consisting of cupids surrounded by candles. Birthday gifts were contributed by each of the other members. When the hostess returned the lights were lowered and she was greeted with an outburst of song. She was dumbfounded and the surprise was complete. It was several minutes before she regained her composure and was able to serve refreshments. All of the club members were present, those besides the hostess being Madames J. Boyd, W. D. Brooks, I. M. Bryce, T. Blobb, E. S. Heywood, William Jumper, M. J. Key, B. H. Miller, H. Parker, A. F. Peed and A. V. Thornton. The club membership is limited to twelve ladies.

Now that The Washington Bee has passed into the hands of a new editor, Miss Eva Chase, sister of the late editor, W. Calvin Chase, is being congratulated on all sides for the fine work she demonstrated in taking over the management of the paper and conducting it through the months immediately, following the decease of the editor. It was freely predicted that The Bee would go out of existence the minute the late editor passed away. But forty-three years of existence without missing an issue was a record that must be upheld by the Chase family at whatever sacrifice of time and money. Miss Chase, who has her hands full as principal of one of our local graded public schools, took up the management of the paper and conducted the business with such signal success, that The Bee is firmly established in Washington and, provided the city lasts that long, will be here and smiling for another forty-three years. BERBERICH SALE. The Seventh Street Berberich store is conducting a big sale which patrons would do well not to overlook. Those who are interested in the lessons of Thrift Week know what can be saved by dealing at the Berberich stores under ordinary occasions, when special prices are not in vogue. Now, however, when a sale is being conducted in the Seventh Street store only, which caters especially to the large colored population of that and adjacent vicinities, thrifty and frugal heads of families will make extra effort to take in what is one of the biggest events ever staged in the Berberich line. Mr. Berberich, aside from the exceptional quality of goods which he offers, is a business character of such personal charm and of such pleasing and helpful disposition that colored Washington has set him up as an example of the type of merchant who is to be patronized by them. The Seventh Street sale, should not be overlooked. PIGGLY WIGGLY STORES SHOWING GOOD GROWTH. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 18.—The net earnings for the Piggly Wiggly Stores, Inc., for the month of December, after all charges were paid and depreciation written off, were $101,000, making the total for the past quarter $282,000, according to Clarence, Saunders. The total December sales were $2,503,212 and the total for the year $30,204,420.20, a gain over 1920 of $806,598.17. Cash on hand is $675,000; bank loans, $532,500; a ratio of quick assets against liabilities of 232, as compared with 134 at the close of business in the year 1920. CARRY DISTRIBUTES CALEN- DARS EVERYWHERE. The Carry Ice Cream Company has distributed its New Year calendar carrying a picture of the Boston Massacre with the black Crispus Attuicks as a central figure indiscriminately. This calendar has been sent to white as well as to colored. It is not intended as a catchall for colored trade, but as an evidence of the spirit of cooperation that ought to exist between white merchants and teir colored patrons. Those who were not in position to know have suggested that the Carry Company distributed the calendars to colored persons only. These are not the facts. Crispus Attucks has been advertised as never before to the white citizenry of the national capital and vicinity. GLENDALE, BURRVILLE AND LINCOLN HEIGHTS NEWS. By Herbert E. Wilson.

This sounds very well—at once catches the eye. But how about the extra taxation? Those special assessments that are levied, draining heavily upon the resources of those whose property is effected? Modern sidewalks, city water and good roads means better health, better living comforts and a more congenial atmosphere. But why not make the transaction a party one, so as to even up matters a little?

The Virgin was in his room, engaged in an earnest pow-wow with his chum, Joe Grimes. He had felt that if he didn't confide in somebody he'd burst; so he was telling Joe the whole history of his love affair, omitting only the girl's name. Joe had filled his pipe but he grew so interested that he forgot to light it. "Gee, Virgin," cried Joe, when the story was finished, "she must be a peach for looks and charm. I'd like to meet her myself. And you—well, you surprise me, making such fast time; I didn't know it was in you. Yet that's the way it goes; the novice comes in and wins the money. So her old man caught you and wrung your neck—ha, ha! Wouldn't I like to have seen your face? And, say, Virgin, suppose she had made good her threat to leave the house with you—what on earth would you have done?" "I don't see any joke in it," said the Virgin. "But, really, now, Joe, would you consider yourself engaged to the girl?" "Well, that depends on a number of things. Remember, I don't know the girl, if I did my judgment might be different. Is she a girl whom you would marry ordinarily?" "I don't understand." "That is," said Joe, seriously, "does she belong to the class of girls from which finicky fellows like us would choose our wives? You rightly or wrongly, men judge their obligations to a girl by the girl's general standnig." "This girl's standing is one of the best in Boston by your own account," said the Virgin. "By my account!" exclaimed Joe. "Do you mean to say I know her?" "Beatrix Marley! Great jumping Jehoiphaphat!" Joe blinked at the Virgin for a moment, then he broke forth with a string of highly-seasoned expletives, the mildest of which was: "I'll be hanged!" "You're surprised, eh." laughed the Virgin. "No," said Joe, sarcastically. "I thought it was the Queen of Sheba, Princess Patricia, the Czarina, or somebody like that. I'm not surprised, Virgin," he said, more sincerely, "I'm only amazed, dumb-founded, stupefied, knocked cold. Beatrix Marley, of all women! I thought you were the one man she'd never get to." "I don't quite understand you, Joe," said the Virgin, coldly, "your tone savors of disrespect." "No, Virgin, I only take my hat off to Miss Marley, that's all. She has seen you only twice, and already she's got you wondering whether it is your duty to marry her." "I tell you," said the Virgin, impatiently, "she's done nothing. I'm the active party, or the guilty one, if you wish to put it that way. Do you think she asked me to kiss her? I made her. I tell you." "You—oh, well," said the Virgin, "you've seen so many impure things and people that you don't know innocence when you see it. She loves me. I tell you! She stood out against her own father for me, she was ready to leave her home for me. A fine sort of man I'd be to doubt her after that." "Virgin," said Joe, earnestly, "do you really think Beatrix Marley loves you?" "Oh, I know you don't like her; you as much as said so Bloody Monday Night, when I never dreamed that I was destined to meet her less than an hour later. You think she's a Carmen who sets out to trap men, rob them of their manhood, and then drop them for somebody else. I didn't believe you then and I don't believe you now. That's one reason why I did not mention her name at first when I told you my story. I wanted your unbiased opinion and I knew you were prejudiced against her." "And now that I know she's the girl I suppose you don't want my advice." "I do want it, if you can give it impartially. I'm sorry I told you it was she, I didn't intend to, but when a man starts telling a thing he generally tells more than he meant to. You don't know Beatrix, Joe. She's the finest girl I ever saw, all life and love and goodness. If you could only have seen her when she rushed between me and her father!" "Maybe she wanted to save her father from being hanged for murder." "And when she tried to take all the blame upon herself," said the Virgin rapidly, ignoring Joe's remark. "Or when she told them she loved me." "Very dramatic, I confess," said Joe without enthusiasm. "Even Sarah Bernhardt would relish a scene like that." "Joe," said the Virgin, resolved to be patient with this humdrum prodder of the ways of the earth, "your trouble is that you don't believe in anybody, women least of all. You can't imagine such a thing as a pure motive." "Don't I, though? You've often called me the college cynic. Well, what's a cynic but one who suspects the worst while secretly hoping for the best? As for believing in people, why, I know a little girl now——" "Fresh-checked country maiden," interrupted the Virgin, "innocent, cow-milking and all that." "No, sir," said Joe, shortly. "Country life and innocence are not necessarily the same thing. I knew a girl once who milked cows and she also milked my pocketbook." "I won't go into details," said Joe, with a wry face. "But the little girl I started to tell you about lives right in New York City, and she's lived there ever since she was born. Cynic, though I am, I'd believe anything she told me." "So you're in love, too," said the Virgin. "Love!" Joe exclaimed. "I didn't say I was in love; I only said I'd believe whatever this little girl told me." "When you believe anything a girl tells you, you love her." "Virgin!" said Joe, startled. "You've certainly learned a lot in these last few weeks. Sometimes I think that a good, thorough-going love affair is the best education in the world." "You say you believe in your girl's sincerity," said the Virgin, "yet you don't believe Beatrix is sincere." "They are different girls, Virgin." "That wouldn't affect my belief in the slightest," said Joe, smiling. "Well, we've wandered from the EAGLE "MIKADO" Rare or Length, For Sale at your Dealer, 5c Each.

"You haven't asked her to marry you and received her consent, so you're not engaged. You know that much yourself." "Now, Joe," said the Virgin, "don't evade the question.

You know as well as I that the mere act of proposing and being accepted is the least part of an engagement. A man can be under obligation to marry a girl without having said the least word about marriage. Now hasn't Beatrix a right to expect me to marry her?" "Rights and love are not the same. If you have made her love you to the exclusion of all other men, you ought to marry her. But you had better bide your time and make sure of her love." "I'm sure of it already!" cried the Virgin, springing up and walking the floor in rapture. "Not from her words, not from her kisses, but from what she is herself. Ah, boy, if you could just see her eyes tell me!—things that her lips would never dare to tell! She loves me! She loves me!" "Rave on," said Joe, "rave on!" (To be continued next week.)

The funeral services were held at the Church of Incarnation, Monday, January 2, 1922. The Willing Workers of Zion Baptist Church, under the leadership of Mrs. Virginia Snowden, were able to render worthy services to the sick of Zion Church during the Xmas presentation. Mrs. Snowden devised a plan of placing a mite box at the entrance of the church and thereby raised $5, which she presented to sick members of the church. The Church of Incarnation, which has just completed a $2,000 rally was proud of the fact that the faithful workers raised more than the sum asked for. Deanwood observed the memorial of the late Editor Calvin Chase, who was truly a valuable friend to this community. Several years ago when Deanwood needed a friend, the late Editor Chase took up the cause nor did he falter but fought on until the victory was won. Deanwood to-day needs a friend, but W.
