Astounding Revelations of Science Indicate Impending Doom of Blondes. 2 S the white race doomed to extinction? Is the pinkish blonde type of man going to turn brown himself? Will the time come when there will be no white men in the sense that we use the expression today? Such questions are apt to start the world to laughing with hearty skepticism, and yet, if modern science is to be believed, it is the fate of the whites to some day be brown. Such authorities as Chas, E. Woodruff and L. W. Hyde have pointed out that climate determines skin color, and just recently Dr. William Norton Hewetson, a white man in Rhodesia, in a booklet entitled, "Environmental Influences Affecting Blondes in Rhodesia and their Bearing on the Future," points out that the white man cannot exist under strong and sustained sunlight without getting darker. BRONZE COLOURED AMERICANS So long as the white man stayed in northern Europe he was all right, for reasons which will be stated later. Instead, he has spread all over the world and invaded countries previously inhabited by people with brown or dark yellow skins. North Americans before the coming of the white people were of a bronze color, and the same was true of the South Americans. The Asiatics were and are a dark yellow verging into bronze and black, while it is well known that all of the ancient peoples around the Mediterranean Sea were dark and many of them are today. It is therefore clear that to an increasing extent white people have in the last few centuries invaded countries and regions where, because of their pale skins, they have seemed very odd. More and more we find them flocking to such places as Argentine, Brazil, Central America, Africa, India, Florida, China, California, etc., building vast cities. For our answer we must turn to the scientists. Woodruff points out that blackness of skin is caused by the necessity in the tropics or a hot climate to radiate heat. The main use of pigment is protection from the rays of the sun. Where coldness of the weather is combined with the least light, there you will find the palest people. As we near the equator the temperature is warmer and there is more sunlight, consequently the people are darker. It will be readily recalled by everybody that the American Indians all vary in color; those in Canada being lighter than those in Mexico. North men are lighter than south men in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, England, Russia, Egypt, Persia, India, Japan, and China. When we go below the equator, however, we find that south men are lighter in color than north men, as in South America, Australia and Africa. The Hottentots in South Africa are yellowish in color while the Beni and other nations right under the equator are very black. The blondness of a place is in proportion to its cloudiness. For instance, southern Norway is the cloudiest and blondest part of Europe. White people flourish best where there are less than 1250 hours of sunshine a year and they begin to die out where there are more than 1700 hours of sunshine a year: that is to say in south central Europe and the northern half of the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION CHARLEY YOU'RE A BRAVE REWARD YOU I'M TAKE YOU MY N TAMER BUT I'D LOT'S RATHER DRIVE STAKES ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO YOUR HEAD IN A LIONS MOVE JUST ONCE A AS LONG AS YOU LIVE THIS INTERESTING COMIC e White R ALL RACES WEL ding Revelations of Science Inc ALL RACES WERE ONCE BLACK! United States. Where there is more than 2500 hours of light as in the southern half of the United States and in the Mediterranean Coast countries, blondes die out. It has been proved that white people cannot stand over 3000 hours of sunlight a year without very serious injury. Of course elevation (mountains) reduces sunlight to less than 1000 hours, hence, blonde mountaineers in some hot regions. THE NEGRO'S FERTILITY THE NEGRO'S FERTILITY The Negro's excessive fertility is due to nature's effort to counteract or discount the heavy mortality from noxious germs and organisms that infest tropical regions. The extreme blackness of the natives on the Mosquito Coast of Africa is caused by the influence of the reproduction which determine skin-color. The fundamental differences of skin color between black and white people are due to climate and are caused by the different relative activities of the lungs and intestines in different strengths of sunlight; and this development of color, owing to increased action of intestines, is a protective adaptation to increase sunlight. Hyde makes the astounding statement (The Contemporary Review, February, 1911) that: "The permanent presence of pigment granules in the epidermal cells of all races, even the blondest, proves the original universality of the pigment visibly; and the uniform tinge of that pigment, even visibly in the general color of the skin and eye in the infants of all races outside Europe proves further that THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS DARK BROWN."

It is interesting to note that the blackest skins, like the blackest stripes of the Zebra, are found because needed in the hottest parts of the world that ARE NOT COVERED WITH FORESTS—the African plains. In the equatorial forests this rich black is unknown. The yellowish Negrilloes of the Congo basin, the yellowish Sakai of the Malay jungle, the Krus of the rainy West African jungles and the Indians of the Amazon basin, all live in forests and are thus partially shielded from the terribly hot and blinding rays of the sun. Science hands down the unalterable dictum that the black man belongs below the 25th degree north latitude and above the 25th and 45th degrees, north and south latitude; while the blonde type, the so-called white man belongs naturally beyond the 45th degree, north and south latitude. This latter is about the latitude of Copenhagen, Seattle and Toronto. While pigment is not necessary in the colder regions, scientists point out that it does no harm. Hence Negroes, Indians and Mongolians can and have lived in some of the coldest regions without harm. Lots of Negroes die in the north of the United States but their high death rate is due to congested housing and lack of proper sanitation and hygiene.

Of course the change takes a very long time but it takes place just the same. The yellow and black man can live anywhere for thousands or tens of thousands of years without changing pigment but if the white man is to survive inside the 45th degrees, north and south, he must get brown.

With a snarl he turned about, his eyes bloodshot with rage, and leaped toward the detectives swinging the bright blade. WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE— Captain Henry Browning, a wealthy retired sea captain and shipping magnate, is found a headless corpse in his palatial residence in San Francisco. Mary Ann Welling, his beautiful brown maid, is horrified at the discovery, and summons the police who after careful searching find themselves completely baffled by the most gruesome and fiendish murder ever perpetrated in San Francisco. Donald ("One-day") Darrington, a nationally known race detective, reads of the case and offers his services to San Francisco's police department. His ability is at first doubled but the brilliance of his record and the utter helplessness of the San Francisco police compel the chief of police, Corrigan, to accept his aid. Darrington is deputized and immediately begins a scientific search. In carefully reading Captain Browning's documents, Darrington makes a discovery. He promptly calls Chief Corrigan and advises him to arrange to have "The Eagle," San Francisco's evening daily, to hold its columns open 30 minutes longer than usual. This is done. Darrington then rushes to the De Young Museum and informs the official that he is going to remain in the room of exhibits overnight and that the night watchmen are to be dismissed. This is arranged. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY By WALTER GLASTON ELL, I'm sorry, Mr. Darrington, but I don't think we can permit that. It is positively against our rules," the curator protested. "Everybody must leave the museum at five o'clock at which night watchmen report for duty." "Well," Darrington burst out with finality, "we must break your rules this time. Call up Corrigan immediately. Certainly you cannot refuse him." "No," the curator agreed, "I won't refuse Corrigan if he makes that request." So saying didn't do it, who did? A Chinese? "Not at all," the Negro answered. "It is true that the custom of beheading is widespread in China, but the heads have no value to the executioners after being lopped off." "Who did it, then," queried the curator, rather impatiently. "Unless I am very greatly mistaken," Darrington informed them. "It was done by a Polynesian from Mav 18.1929 W murder and returned without accident. Moreover, what would an American have wanted with the head? The captain's body was easily identified by the numerous designs tattooed upon it, so the head was not necessary to identification." "Well I'll be dogged," Chief Corrigan exclaimed, "if this ain't the darndest case. If an American DOWNING M empting to open bolo, stood a Polynesian fea- about, his eyes ed toward the ude. with a grievance against the old sea captain he called up the police station, and explained Darrington's request. Corrigan's reply was to wait until he arrived. In less than a half hour he walked into the curator's office. Turning to the famous Negro detective, he said, "Now Darrington, what's up your sleeve? You seem to have been working pretty fast and I guess you'd better let me in on it. Why do you want to stay in the museum tonight? What's the museum got to do with the Browning murder?" With evident annoyance Darrington lit another cigarette and reclining in his chair very much at ease, he said, "I'll tell you, Chief, I haven't got anything but a hunch but it's a pretty good hunch. I'd be willing to stake my reputation on it that there will be a nocturnal visitor to this museum tonight and that visitor will be the murderer of Captain Browning or somebody who knows a lot about the murder." "How do you figure that out," the chief asked incredulously. "I can't see the connection myself," the curator added. "Well," began the Negro, "you know that Browning was murdered a week ago today; that every window and door in the house was locked, that not a thing was disturbed; that his money and jewels were not touched, and that only the head is missing from his body. Hence, neither robbery nor revenge was the motive. Anyone --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION NG MUR THE "HUNCH" the South Seas. They and the Peruvian Indians are about the only people today who mummify and preserve the heads of their ancestors. And it certainly wasn't a Peruvian who committed this murder because Captain Browning was never in the mountains and forests of Peru whereas he sailed for many years among the small islands of the South Seas. A SPRING DAY AT 47TH AND GRAND BOULEVARD—CHICAGO'S SOUTHSIDE would have been satisfied to kill him and let it go at that. Consequently there must have been some special reason for cutting off his head. This much, I take it, is quite clear to you." "Quite true," interrupted the curator, "but how did the murderer get in and out of a locked room with a bloody head without leaving a trace? How do you explain that?" "Yes," echoed Corrigan, "how do you explain that?" "Well," continued Darrington, "we know that the murderer neither came in or went out of the door or windows, so consequently he must have entered and departed through the chimney of the fire place. You will remember that the fireplace is directly behind the chair in which Captain Browning sat. The murderer coming from any other direction would have been seen by the captain and there would certainly have been a struggle. As it was, nothing was disturbed but the captain's head. Now chief, you yourself testified to the coroner's jury that the head was severed cleanly from the neck and must have been done with a sharp instrument with a long blade.

About six years ago, just before he retired from the sa, he visited the island of Manea in the Solomon group, and there came into possession of two heads of famous chief-tains of the tribe. These heads are usually kept in a sacred hut guarded by the chief and his medicin man. Browning gave them a bottle of gin, so he writes, and while they were drunk, he and his comrades went in the sacred hut and secured the two heads. They immediately sailed away and upon his return to San Francisco he presented one of the mummified heads to this museum. (Continued on page fourteen) ed by the chief and his medicine man.

NATIONALLY KNOWN In the world of food caterers the names of Augustine & Baptiste, Trower, John Holland, Rogers, Du- trieuille, James and Brown have been ones to conjure up visions of stewed snapper, fried chicken, roast turkey and their attendant trim- mings. There are as many Hollands in the J. W. Holland Catering company as there are turtles in ‘nock turtle soup. The sole owner of the plant is nameless to his public, but, never- theless, is “a still, strong man in this blatant land.” His name is William Newman. He hates publicity and has never been known to have a puotoerenn made. The only way he has been pictured is in a group. He is a doer and not a talker. Interviewing nim is one of the hardest jobs I ken. NEWMAN IS “DOER” Mr. Newman seeks no publicity for himself and really feels that others in his organization are more worthy of featuring than he is, but the story of what he has done should be an inspiration to all of us to work a little harder, fight a little stronger and climb a little higher, There’s nothing showy about him; he’s just an extremely busy man— eternally on the job. And what is his job? He tells me it is three- fold. It is building character, men and business. He truly molds character because he is being importuned constantly to make room in his organization for this or that son or daughter whose parents feel that association with his people will do for their children what all other agencies haye failed to accomplish. And to all of them he replies that his is no institution for incorrigibles and the like but that he has a plant which seeks. to oe the latent good in everyone as each one develops financially and physically.

If employes fai: to live c-cording to his disci- pline he discharges them but he has never yet told any one that he would refuse to re-employ him. He proudly says that he numbers among his most loyal employes some who had been previously dis- charged from his service. BUILT BUSINESS He has built a business. Fifteen years ago William Newman was an employe of the J. W. Holland Cater- ing Company, then in the decline of its business life. Its owner, like- wise, was on the borderland of his natural life. To him Mr. Newman made a proposition to buy. The offer was accepted and the new pro- prietor’s friends thought he was crazy. They told him that the catering business had seen its best days, that the new hotels and clubs would ab- sorb the trade which used to go to the colored men. They flatly re- fused to loan him a dollar or extend any moral support. He had no credit. Most of them have lived to regret what seemed like sound advice fif- teen years ago. i Then he had a business worth $1,500, exclusive of the real estate at 115 North 19th street. Six years later he applied to a bank for a loan of $6,000. The directors asked for his statement. When he re- turned to see if a loan had been voted him, an official said: “Mr. Newman, we have decided to loan you $10,000 instead of $6000.” OUTGROWS ACCOMMODATIONS The business grew and he bought 117 North 19th street at double the cost of his original house. Then he bought 113 at treble the cost. Last summer he bought 114 at a price in_excess of $40,000. And early in the year a modern restaurant building was opened at 114. It cost $15,000, has a main dining room accommodating 200 and a banquet hall which will hold 300 comfortably. There are modern kitchens, refrigerating and ventilat- ing systems and its operation adds 20 persons to the Newman payroll. It was never the iftention of Mr. Newman to enter the seca business but the demands of his banquet patrons forced him to it. They outgrew the buildings across the street and the new uni is the answer. His holdings in the block are now assessed at over $200,000. $40,000 MOTOR FLEET Substituting for the horse and wagon of the early days is now a motor fleet valued at $40,000.

Here every conceiv- able kind of cake and pastry is made. There is a carpenter shop where crates for dishes are fashioned and where tables and chairs are repaired and painted. A tailor looks after the uniforms, mending and pressing constantly so that the Holland crews are always spick and span. The walls of the china department are lined with a reserve stock of dishes sufficient for the requirements of a large hotel and hundreds of crates are permanently packed for “party” work. And the same con- dition obtains with the glassware. OVER 300 EMPLOYEES Sixty-odd people run the main plant while 100 to 150 waiters are busy serving banquets. This num- ber at 115 North 19th street includes stenographers, bookkeepers, account- ants, clerks, bakers, cooks, butchers, machinists, waitresses, waiters, et2. Of himself Mr. Newman will not talk. He contends that people are interested in what he has done and not in him as an individual. His life is wrapped up in his church and his business. His philosophy is that even if one does not believe in God or a hereafter the principles of the Bible are the best code to live by. ~ _ NEWMAN A SOUTHERNER He was born a Virginian, one of 15 children, but was reared by a Quaker family in Philadelphia.

THE TRAVELLER Stalwart African tribesmen preparing for their daily hunt. Note their tall, strong and sinewy bodies. May 18.1929 Stalwart African tribesmen preparing tall, strong and R. D. J. DAVIS, professor of pathology at the University of Illinois, recently made the following appalling statement concerning the increase of cancer in America: "Science is fighting a losing battle with cancer. In 25 years the death rate has practically doubled. One hundred and three thousand people die each year now in the United States with cancer." This dread disease, which Hippocrates, the father of medicine, described accurately centuries before Christ, is as mysterious today as it was then. The greatest scientists today know as little about its cause and care as Dr. Hippocrates did 2,500 years ago. But it is much more important that we understand it today, for when the great Greek doctor described it, cancer was a rare disease, but now it is increasing at such a terrific rate that within a few years, if nothing is done to prevent it, 98 per cent of the people who die will have been its victims. ASTOUNDING FACTS. Strange to say almost at the same time that Dr. Davis made his terrible statement regarding the spread of cancer here, Dr. Ernest H. Tippier, a skillful English physician who has practiced medicine 20 years in West Africa, contributed an astounding bit of information concerning cancer there. Dr. Tippier, who resided among the Benin people in the Delta of the Niger, says in his book, entitled, "The Cradle of the World and Cancer," that, although this tribe included over 2,000,000 persons and he was the official physician of the tribe, he came across only six cases of cancer in his 20 years' practice there. He further adds that five out of these six cases were Africans who resided in the coast towns. Now, it is well known that the coast towns, which are all under white governments, have also assumed the living habits of white civilization; whereas the interior still lives by the rules of native African culture. This undoubtedly means that cancer is a white man's disease. For, while one out of every thousand in the United States has cancer, in the interior of Africa only one out of 2,000,000 was found to have it. Fletcher's CASTORIA FOR QUICK, HARMLESS COMFORT Children Cry for It FOR CONSTIPATION, DIARRHEA, FEVERISH! ```markdown ``` Dr. Tipper also says that in his 20 years in Africa he discovered but one case of appendicitis and that was at a coast town and was not a clear case. SLEEPING SICKNESS. The diet and habits of the white man are weakening the robust races of Africa. The physique of the native African far excels that of the people existing in white centers of civilization. And he states that wherever the African comes in contact with the white man the process of physical degeneration goes on until finally the African's susceptibility to disease is identical with that of the people among whom his lot is cast. For, with the exception of sleeping sickness, caused by the bite of a tropical fly, the native African is absolutely free of all the dreaded chronic diseases. Tuberculosis, dyspepsia, pellagra, catarrh, venereal diseases, Bright's disease, and cancer are practically non-existent in the interior of Africa. Malaria, which affects the white man almost as soon as he reaches the tropics, is not due to heat and moisture, as was formerly thought, for if this were the case the native would never be without its symptoms, whereas he never suffers from malaria. It is due to the habits of eating and drinking and dressing which the white man has brought with him to Africa. AFRICAN DIET IDEAL Sir Lane, who is the greatest detritian in the world, says that if the white man would eat and drink and dress like the African, he would be able to endure the tropics as well as a native. And he further says that, unless the white man adopts these more natural habits of living, he is doomed to extinction. He calls the diseases of white civilization "diet diseases." Faulty diet and lack of proper elimination he considers the basis of all disease. The lack of rough foods in the average American and European diet is one of its chief deficiencies. This was demonstrated in Denmark during the World war. Denmark was faced with the probability of a terrible famine. Dr. Hindhede of that country prevented it by ordering the people to eat rough foods, such as bran and shorts—food that would otherwise have been fed to the cattle. The cattle were slaughtered and the people were given their food. This proved so beneficial that the mortality of Denmark was reduced to a point never previously reached. It became unusual for a person to die in Denmark. And when the terribly fatal epidemic of influenza swept through America and Europe, it left practically no mark upon the hardy Danes. The native African of the interior eats largely of fresh fruit like dates and bananas; milk products which have not been heated; whole grains made into bread and Only One Out of Every 2,000,000 Africans Has Cancer, While One Out of Every 1,000 American Whites Is a Victim of this Baffling Disease.

There are in civilized America today about twelve million citizens of African descent and also a great number living in the wilds of Georgia and Mississippi, if the reports of explorers are to be relied upon. Contrary to the general belief not all of these are ministers of the gospel. Prior to 1776 there were not half this many Negroes in the United States. Historians attribute th.s to the fact that before, the Revolutionary war there was no United States. There were only thirteen colonies and Africans, being by nature a suspicious and superstitious race, did not come to America in great numbers until after the jinx was broken. After this, however they began to multiply so rapidly that the white settlers became so alarmed at the spread of the Negro race in the Mississippi Delta that they started plans for flood relief. The measure is still before congress, showing how rapidly that body functions. Unable to drive the Negroes out of the country the southerners turned their wrath toward the Dutch traders who brought them over here in the first place and this was one of the direct causes leading up to the war with Germany in 1918. The Africans, prior to 1619 were peaceful law abiding citizens, enjoying themselves in the peaceful pastimes of eating one another and what few missionaries they could pick up or a change of diet. They were so happy among their native haunts that they would have to wake up in the middle of the night to laugh. The Dutchmen found them there among the trees, flowers and monkeys and wrenched them away. This is the first historical reference to a monkey wrench. In spite of the fact that Negroes are by nature a jovial, carefree race, when they landed in. America they did not associate much with the red men, who were also great cutups as the accounts of the early Indian massacres will attest. Indians by the way are also very religious and had their own preachers, as this little authentic story from Hiawatha will prove: An Indian by the name of Rev.

"Well," said the pa ace, "that is d—n poor pay." "Umph!" said the minister, "Me d—n poor preacher." That little incident is merely quoted to show the similarity between Indian preachers and Negro preachers. The only difference is the latter won't admit it. Although they had little in common the American Negro owes much to the American Indian. The latter taught the former how to raise corn and since the passage of the prohibi- tion act corn has become one of the Negro's, as well as the white's, liquid assets.

GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON By Georgia Douglass Johnson Young writers come forward each day asking such questions as: Where shall I go for help in beginning my literary career? Where can I get real constructive criticism? Where can I send my writings after they are ready for the market? Do they pay for contributions and what is the best line of writing to pursue, Poetry, Short story, Novels or the Drama? These questions are not so easily answered for the reason that we ourselves are so different one from another and also what might prove perfect for one will not be right for another. However, in a general way I would say first to the young poets, as they far outnumber writers along other lines (we say poets, but per- Another Gratitude Praises Lydia E.

Of course, I am not considering the horn poet, he who writes because he must, but those who take up writing or poetry making as an art. The genius we know makes his way and stands alone; he is rare, capable and able. He does not need this guidance. Looking back into the springtime of most literary person's lives, there are few indeed who have not hidden away verses written under the urge of some strong emotion, some surging of hope or deluge or despair. ful Woman kham's Vegetable round "I was troubled with pains in my sides, abdomen and back and my husband recalled that I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound eight years ago for health and confinement, so he said I had better try it again. I was very glad that he reminded me and had no hesitation in getting three bottles. Before I had taken the third I was able to get around again and do my housework. I am just through taking three more bottles of the Vegetable Compound for general weaknesses, as I was very sick lately after a confinement. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and found it to be wonderful. If this letter will help you any, I give you full permission to publish the same." Do Your Work. M'S VEGETABLE UND ing Writers S JOHNSON These verses are like wordless songs of the heart voicing the deepest feelings. Many hide these verses, but some few bring them forth to the light of day and others say of them "that is just what my heart feels." Just last week the New York Times printed a letter from Upton Sinclair, who is making an appeal for a poet in poor health and in financial straits, namely James Larkin Pearson, who has done some very beautiful work, but cannot support a family upon his writings, altho his poetry is meritorious. Poetry does not sell readily for many reasons, chief of which is the commercial and material tendency of the present time. The drama is coming into its own through its door, the young writer finds a ready welcome. The one act play is very popular just now and like verse, requires less time to write than longer forms of expression. Young poets are entering this field largely and have been employing dialect as a medium. This style of play is waning in popularity and calls are being made for plays that deal BAR It's the BARBER It's the BARBER'S Oh!... what a mean, cravin' feelin'!

The people are calling for drama that voices the longings, aspirations, cares and tragedies of the present age. This field is one of the richest and most lucrative. There is also great demand for three act plays that do not touch too heavily upon racial problems but deal with human nature. Paul Green and Eugene O'Neil have both used this material very successfully but I feel that the playwrights within the group will be able to produce those special plays that the present time demands and waits for. The short story requires technique, the better the technique, the better the story. The mastery of this style of writing is most difficult. One must have some leisure, certainly more than for a verse or two and more sustained work than is required for a one act play perhaps. The short story presents more difficulties than most forms of writings. It MUST measure up to certain requirements or it is but a yarn, a tale that is told. One should be dramatic, concise, alert and orderly, for one must marshal his facts with ever-growing stress toward the climax. Few young writers know that it is considered far more difficult to write a real good short story than to write a novel, but such is true, for one can meander along through the pages of a novel with but little regard for stated rule, but he MUST observe Oh!... what a mean, cravin' feelin'! about it—just let Billy Bird in your ear!

The novel requires long sustained effort to complete. It takes time. For this reason perhaps more than any other, few writers have entered this field. Novels require time, much time. Novels require perseverance and confidence in one's self. It has been said that each person has material for at least one novel in his own life, but the rare person has power, ability and the perseverance necessary to dramatize those incidents. Perhaps that is why so many novels are dull, the authors overestimating their ability, thus giving to the world more books without the breath of life in them. The various magazines are calling for good material daily and are happy to announce the finding of a new voice. There are many critical bureaus that pass judgment upon manuscripts for a very small fee and their word can be relied upon.

It is very difficult to take off twenty pounds, but oh, so easy, for the one who has taken this off, to gain it back again—with another twenty for good measure. Of course there are some who seem to find it difficult to gain even a pound, whether they have ever reduced or not, but these are in the minority and they will have to get their instruction elsewhere. Most of us, particularly those of us who say "when I was forty" with a tinge of regret, find it far too easy to gain weight almost overnight. Drop the long walk, eat heavily of some favorite foods—and presto, the scales begin to tell what happens. Unless you have been advised to adopt a certain diet by a competent physician, be very careful of how you choose your foods on which to diet. The "don't eat this" and "don't eat that" crowd is a large one, even though the individual views are as far apart as Capes Horn and Gaspe. If you intend to diet, forget the advice of Mr. Brown and Mr. Jones, and remember that you are probably eating too much as a whole, too little fruit, not enough vegetables, and not enough water. Then diet. Eat all those things you have ever eaten, unless some of your favorites actually disagree with you, but eat the heavy, acid-producing foods in smaller portions, and the light, alkaline foods in larger quantity. As a result, you will eat plentifully, reduce the actual number of calories obtained, and find your system becoming more and more alkaline. What are the acid and alkaline foods? Well, without preparing long lists, one might say that cereals, bread, meat, fish and eggs are acid-producing, while fruit, vegetables and milk are alkaline in the reaction—and this would cover the whole thing sufficiently well for the average would-be dieter. There are two or three fruits or berries that are not really alkaline, but surprising as it may seem to some, these do not include oranges, lemons, grapefruit and peaches. This quartette is an alkaline one. The citrus fruits may contain an acid juice, but this acid is not the acid that causes acidity in the human body. On the other hand, it unites with the body acid to form a free gas and leave an alkaline base—and this is something that would-be dieters should remember. And that is the whole story. Don't refuse meat, bread and eggs whenever they are offered—but eat them in smaller portions.

ADVICE TO YOUNG WRITERS (Continued on Page 7) should be discouraged as those who know us are apt to overpraise, and to remain silent about faults. Poetry, especially from unknown writers, is rarely paid for, but stories, plays and novels bring good prices varying with the author, the story and the magazine accepting. It is well to have some other means of support while trying one's writing wings. Young writers should try new themes, work out new ideas, work along original lines, not being afraid of ridicule, nor of fear of failure. Young writers should read, read! Always reading the best books obtainable, forming the note-book habit along with reading, that is the jetting down of new words to be looked up, or beautiful words to remember. In this way many useful tools are gathered that will enter into future creations, for these words will surely come back to you from the subconscious mind. Lastly, young writers must have faith in themselves, remembering that "Self trust is the essence of heroism." The best writing is yet to be done. The world is awaiting that unique bit of literature which will be your contribution to the future. In a nutshell I would say, read widely, study deeply, think for yourself, write freely and dare to be original. When anyone is exposed to a contagious disease, use a gargle of equal parts of lemon juice and water, and drink strong lemonade frequently.

The Woman's Ionic 10 committee of Michigan clergy men recently found that there were 1,200,000 marriages and 192,000 divorces in the United States during the A committee of Michigan clergy men recently found that there were 1,200,000 marriages and 192,000 divorces in the in the United States during the year of 1927. This is an average of one divorce to each 6.2 marriages. This high rate of divorce (which doesn't count the numerous separations privately arrived at) is rather astounding. But even more astounding is the fact that they found that the great metropolitan centers which are usually accused of easy morals and swiftness had a much lower rate than the more rural states. The ratio was one divorce to every twenty-one marriages in New York State, while in Georgia it was one to 13; in Wisconsin, one to 6.3; in Indiana, one to 4.1; and in Michigan, one to 3.4. The fact that there is more marital trouble in what is supposed to be the more religious and reliable part of the country is going to upset a lot of superficial theories about marriage, one of which is that the more ignorant of the facts of life the woman is the better wife she will be. Everyone will admit that the women in the rural states are more ignorant than those in New York State, where they have frequent contact with books and plays which deal frankly with sex. Not only that but sex is discussed quite casually at the most respectable homes. Plays like "Diamond Lil," "The Front Page," "Lulu Belle," and "All God's Chillun Got Wings," which had long runs in New York City and thereabouts would be stamped immoral and dangerous to BE LUCKY Something New and Powerful Here at last is the wonderful imported Magnetic Wave Loadstone.

While even those individuals who are abnormal are humorously tolerated in New York City they would be tarred and feathered in Georgia and Michigan. And there we have perhaps the chief reason why more couples separate in the rural states. Because where we find more ignorance we find less tolerance. Tolerance is the most necessary element of a permanent relationship, and tolerance is the product of understanding others and oneself. Tolerance is the finest fruit of knowledge. Not alone book knowledge but "life" knowledge. For this reason tolerance is usually to be found in individuals with experience rather than among the so-called innocent. Now, it is well known, that men and women marry at a younger age in the country than they do in the big cities. In the country they haven't anything else to look forward to and no other way to express their amorous impulses except marriage. Of course, it is the custom among hypocritical people to pretend there is no such thing as amorous impulses and these people, which unfortunately make up a large part of the rural states populations, therefore make no provision for this side of human nature. They do not instruct the young in the ways of love, they leave them to stumble on the facts in a brutal manner or, even worse, learn them from the silly half-truths of older children. Then, with a hodge-podge of ugly details and absurd speculation these youngsters go to the altar and the community expects them to make a success of marriage! How can they when they haven't the slightest knowledge of how to go about it? When partners enter into any other business they do so with some knowledge of the situation. They both study the problem of how to most successfully and efficiently operate their line of goods. They have frequent consultations and keep abreast of all the latest facts about their business. But is this done in marriage? Seldom. It is especially not done in those marriages where the woman is considered beneath the man — or above him — either way it works out the same because it establishes an inequality between the couple which makes frankness impossible. And lack of frankness in marriage plays the same havoc that dishonesty does in business. It means that one of the pair is trying to get more than his or her share. It means that one of the pair is a grafter, taking a rake-off on the ignorance of the other. And sooner or later the graft is discovered and we have either a tragedy or a divorce. And this is the state of marital danger which d Attitude for M Authority on Domestic Affairs tricts — and because women in the rural states have no future except in marriage, and no preparation for it, we find the divorce rate higher there. The idea of trial marriage which is considered so shocking — especially in the rural states — is really becoming an institution and in the very communities which are most outraged by the idea. For early marriages and frequent divorces are simply trial marriages legalized.

Nadinola nola Bleach many of our elders defend vigorously! No wonder the ship of marriage is said to be going on the rocks! Our elders want to keep the Sea of Life upon which it travels uncharted and the ship in darkness. We have modern improvements in everything but marriage! And since it is so hard to obtain the facts of life early, and since we have to wait until hard experience teaches us what our parents and schools should have done, the safest time to marry seems to be around thirty rather than twenty. People who wait till they are twenty-five or thirty to enter marriage usually make a success of it. By that time they know what kind of a companion is most suitable to their natures; they also realize that they must not demand too much of their partners, and they are also more established financially at thirty and can therefore be more serene and less reckless. The first egotism of youth which expects impossible things of itself and others will be shaved down by bitter experiences to more seemly proportions. So often men who marry young blame their lack of success on the fact that they were saddled and hampered by a wife and family. This would be avoided in later marriage. At one time a woman had to rush and marry while the "bloom was still on her cheeks." Bloom now can be purchased for two-bits a box so that need not bother us. Not so long ago a woman had nothing to do after she was sixteen but get married. Now, there is college and diverse occupations for her if she wishes them.

Safe and Sure! ing Cream FASHION For the Well- FASHION HINTS For the Well-Dressed Person IMPROVING THE MALE NECK Dressing the masculine neck so as to lend distinction to this naturally awkward section of the male anatomy has always been an acute sartorial problem. Probably a man gives more time and thought to creating a handsome effect with his neckwear than to all the other items of his apparel put together—and rightly so, since the neck is closest to the face and hence attracts an almost equal amount of attention. There have been periods in the past when men's necks went bare, and also periods when they were tightly enveloped in frilled ruffs or stiffly starched stocks and collars reaching all the way to the jawbone, but, fortunately, fashion has grown more merciful in recent years. Today a happy compromise between comfort and style is achieved in the soft collar, which is favored for all but the most formal occasions during the warm weather. This type of neckwear is as neat as any if the points of the collar are held securely in place by an attractive collar pin and if the tie is clamped firmly to the shirt with a gold tie clasp, but a soft collar wrinkled about the tie knot and curling up at the ends will mar the appearance of the best tailored suit and most expensive hat. Starting as plain safety pins collars pins are now in the class of real ornaments, the better ones being of 14-karat gold set with fairly large central stones, such as crystals, moonstones, onyx and star sapphires. If a low, stiff, winged collar is worn with the day suit (and this type is now favored by the younger Wall Street set because of its more formal aspect), scarf pin containing a small precious stone is frequently worn in the knot of the tie.

In fact, after a period of eclipse, the scarf pin has taken a new lease life and once more appears as a slightly formal finishing touch to all types of neckwear. Small pearls are, as usual, favored, but diamonds are also seen a great deal, and likewise sapphires and emeralds.

My dear child, everyone gets his heart broken before he is grown up. A heart is one of the easiest things in the world to break. And I can add, also to mend. You are simply suffering from one of the most common forms of "growing pains." The best way to quit dreaming and thinking of your departed Romeo is to get another one. There is nothing like a new love to cure an old one. Love is as natural to a human being as breathing or eating. Of course, if you get used to one kind of food and know no other and it is taken from you, your first reaction is to feel despair when meal-time rolls around a few times and your favorite and accustomed food is nowhere to be seen. But if you are like most other humans hunger will make you take whatever is within reach and then very soon you will like that food quite as well as the delicacy you lost. You are quite sane, my dear, just a little young and naive, that's all. ages. You have only to go into any big city art gallery to observe how much grander were the fighting men of the Middle Ages in their jeweled collars, exhibiting the family coat of arms or a personal badge or motto of some sort; how even more magnificent were the great merchant barons of the Renaissance with their ponderous gold neckchains encircling the neck and shoulders, and Henry VIII, with his collars studded with pearls and other precious gems. Still, today's is a great improvement over the male neck of the late nineteenth century, which, was frequently lost entirely beneath a great sweeping expanse of beard.

Was One of the World's Foremost Lyricists; Yet His Sword Was Deadly and His Harsh Penetrating Eyes Struck Terror Into All who Opposed Him. (the Father of Heroes). Few men started lower in life than Antar, few, if any have risen higher in the esteem and affection of his despisers. Life began by playing a very cruel joke on Antar. He was born a slave in the midst of one of the proudest people who ever lived—the Bedouins. The Bedouins, great horsemen and plunderers of the desert, pride themselves on the purity of their descent from Ishmael, son of Abraham and Hagar—on that and their famous Arabian steeds. To them Antar was but scum. To make it worse Antar was extraordinarily ugly. He was "flat-nosed, blear-eyed, harsh-featured and with ears immensely long." Further he was hare-lipped, and as if to crown all, he was black. The brown-skinned Bedouins despised black. Ah! But Antar's eyes! From them flashed "sparks of fire." His father, the wealthy Shaddad, chief of the Abs tribe, despised him both for his Negro origin and his illegitimacy. Shaddad's wife too, hated the sight of Antar, and at her request, Shaddad sent him off to tend cattle. But like David of the Scriptures, the Redoubtable warrior to combat, Antar pressed and ter the World's Foremost Lyric Deadly and His Harsh Pene Terror Into All who Oppose --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Antar was destined to flash into sudden fame. One day, while he was only fifteen, war broke out between his tribe and a neighboring one over the possession of a famous mare, named Jirwet. Antar entered the battle as a common soldier; he emerged from it the hero of the day. Thanks to his skill, the enemy was signally defeated. His father, now immensely proud of him, at once set him free. "From that moment," in the words of La Grande Encyclopedia, "the warlike life of Antar began. He became the defender of his tribe, its firmest support. "Other tribes reproached the Abs because they had a Negro as chief, but Antar did not trouble about that or his origin. He considered himself a parvenu, "one whose mother was of the race of Ham but who has his sword to defend him."

I'm sure she's happy. She doesn't have to bother with a lot of crying babies or a troublesome husband. Some women sure are lucky?" So spoke the little mother, as she stood on the corner chatting with a friend; while three youngsters tugging at her skirts yelled: "I wanta go home!" Perhaps the mother would have been greatly surprised had she known that Honora, in her smart car and her smart clothes, had cast on her an envious glance. As she drove through the park she saw an old schoolmate out walking with her young son, a chubby little fellow of two years. Honora stopped the car and went over to speak to her, and particularly to chat with the baby for a moment. "Alice, he's such a darling! How I envy you!" she exclaimed. "Humph! You wouldn't think that if you had to be bothered with him all day and all night. It's easy for people to rave about children when they haven't any of their own." "Perhaps you're right; but I don't think I'd mind the responsibility. It's such a privilege to have a little chan like this." The child patted Honora's face as she held him in her arms. She tickled him and made him laugh. Looking into his little face, she thought of "him." If he had a child it must be like this little boy. She liked to think so anyway, for the baby, reminded her of Donald. "Honora, I envy you." said Alice with a touch of bitterness. "You are always so trim and lovely. Look at me! I can't even wear the few rags I have now, I'm such a sight." "Do you know that I envy you. too?" said Honora with a wistful smile. "You are living; you have the things that matter most, and it is I who have nothing." HOME AGAIN. Half an hour later in her cosy little apartment she sat before the lighted gas logs in the small fireplace. The evening paper lay in her lap. She was reading her mail. There was a letter from her younger sister, Betty. It was fairly dripping with happiness: "Sometimes I stop and pinch myself to see if I'm really awake. Jim is simply wonderful. It is just like a movie romance. He is so tender and so affectionate. Of course being out here in California makes it even more romantic. I wouldn't change places with the richest woman in the world." Honora winked back a tear and said to herself fiercely: "I'm ashamed of you! Jealous of your little sister's happiness!" For a moment she sat there staring into the fire. She had made Betty's happiness possible. Ten years ago she had thought that life was to give her love and romance. Then her father had died suddenly. That changed everything. It was with a supreme effort that she put Donald out of her life and gave herself up to taking care of her frail mother and her little sister. She had done her job well, but she had not found happiness. THINKING OF DONALD Of late she had thought often of Donald, and tonight he seemed especially near. It seemed only yesterday that she had stood with him on the beach at Bayhead. "Honora. I love you and you love me, don't you, little girl?" Even now she could hear his voice, husky and tender. She could almost feel his nearness as it had been then. "Honora, you won't forget me. You'll wait a year: I'll have a job in a year and we'll get married." He had given her his fraternity pin and she had given him her promise. She meant to keep faith always. She shrugged her shoulders a little sadly, as though she would shake off these thoughts He caught her swiftly to him, kissing her passionately. After all she had returned the bin and set him free. It had seemed the only decent thing to do when she knew their marriage must be delayed for years and years. must be delayed for years and years. Yet it had hurt that he hadn't been more persistent about iting with her. She opened the paper and glanced carelessly over the front page. Suddenly her attention was arrested. "A eugenic baby!" She read the surprising story with interest. At the end she leaned back thoughtfully. Suppose she dared to do such a thing? After all she had a right to a little of happiness. A child of her own would be complete compensation for all she had missed. As she sat there, turning the idea over and over in her mind, the bell rang sharply. She gave a little annoyed sigh and frowned. Why must someone come tonight when she wanted to be alone! ENTER THE FORMER LOVER She opened the door, expecting to see a woman friend who had come in to gossip, but the caller was a man "Miss Ashlev. I think?" said a strangely familiar voice. "Yes. How are you, Mr. Adams?" she heard herself say as she stared at him with unbelieving eyes. He caught her swiftly to him, kissing her passionately. It didn't seem quite possible that he could be there before her. Yet there he was, waiting for her to ask him in. "Aren't you going to ask me in?" He took a step toward her as he spoke. "I can't believe it's you yet. Come in and have a seat." He stenped into the little hall and handed her his hat and light overcoat. She motioned him to a seat in the living room, and after hanging his things on a hook she followed him into the room. His back was to her as she entered and she noted his thinning hair. Ten years had changed him more than it had changed her. She was glad that 'hough she was thirty-two she looked only twenty-five. Outwardly she was the same woman he had known ten years before. Taking a seat opposite him, she waited for him to speak. For a time he wathed her silently and then he said: "Honora, you look the same, but I can feel that you are different." CONVERSATION "You wouldn't expect me to be exactly the same after ten years, would little smile belied her pounding pulse. DEN HO HOUR "No," he returned slowly, his eyes still upon her "but you're so calm now and so self-contained. Then you were an impulsive will-o'-the-wisp sort of person." "The wise change, but fools never." Honora quoted with a soft laugh. "Are you thinking that I haven't changed. Honora? I believe you're making fun of me." "Why, Mr. Adams! Do you accuse me? I'm much too well-bred to do such a thing." He leaned toward her for a moment and she caught a fleeting glum of the younger Donald in his eyes "Won't you call me on as you used to? I'll forgive you then." An aching warmth rose up in her throat. If he was going to bring up the past it would be too hard. "I could call you that, but it seems so silly now." Her answer gave no indication of the state of her feelings. "Why would it be silly? It wasn't silly then; why should it be now?" He did not answer at once, but sat staring into the fire. He couldn't understand Honora. He had heard it said that, though she had broken their engagement, he's marriage had upset her. He had thought that she still cared. He had not pictured her like this. She seemed to be mocking him. THE COOKED TO BE HARD CONJURING MEMORIES At last he said: "Honora, do you remember the last time we were together—that night on the beach?" "Of course, I have an excellent memory and I forget nothing." He shifted uncomfortably in his seat at that. He was sure now she was laughing at him. He had been a fool to come, but perhaps he deserved this. "You're sorry I came, aren't you?" he asked, trying to see into her eyes. If he could see into her eyes, he could be sure, but she kept her eyes upon the fire or downcast. "No, I'm always glad to see old friends." "I see. Well, I wouldn't have come, but I was here on business and I thought I'd run in to see you. I have wanted to see you a long time." "Of course! And, being a man, you naturally flattered yourself into believing that I'd be charmed to see you. I am." She raised her eyes to look at him to see what effect her words had upon him. Suddenly he turned from the fire and caught her eyes, and he knew that she was only acting. He leaned over and caught her slim brown hands in his big strong one. "Honora, look at me and tell me that you have forgotten!" he WHAT A CLERGYMAN THINKS OF THIS STORY Rev. Wm. H. Peck cried. "I have seen your eyes; I know that you are acting." There was a ring of triumph in his voice as he spoke. She tried to free her hands, but he held them fast. "Don't be foolish! Please don't forget yourself!" He held her hands fast. "Honora, listen to me!" "What good can my listening do? You have no right to come here like this. You are married now. There is nothing between us now. All that was ended long ago." "You cannot fool me now. You have not forgotten and I know it, and because of this I must tell you. I've wanted to tell you for ten years nearly." THE OLD. OLD STORY There was no help for it; she had to listen. It was the old story of an unhappy and unsuccessful marriage. He had mistaken infatuation for love and had been paying the price ever since. "I was provoked when you returned my pin," he said. "I realized that your father's death must make some change in your life, but I couldn't see why you had to sacrifice yourself. When you chose to stand by your mother and sister instead of your promise to me, I thought it was because you didn't really love me. "Then I met Juanita and I thought we loved each other. She went to my head like wine. She soothed my pride where you had wounded it and I married her." Honora was sitting beside him now on the little settee. "So that was it. Oh, Donald, why were you so foolish! How could you think I didn't care!" "I don't know: I've never been able to explain it. Perhaps it was Fate. But I've wanted to tell you—wanted to know that you understood whether you could forgive me or not. I've suffered, for she has not been a wife to me as you would have been. It is only because of our little boy that I have kept on." "You have a son? I have always thought of you as having a son. I've pictured him to myself as sturdy and brown, with dark eyes." "Yes, he is like that. But tell me about yourself now. What have you been doing in these years?" "All that I've done is work. People will tell you that I am the most successful real estate dealer among our group in the city. They will tell you that I am a woman to be proud of and a woman to be envied—but it has been nothing to me. I've worked because I've been afraid not to. I had to support Betty and my mother, but such success as has come to me has come because I tried to forget myself in my work." "I fancied that you might have married." "Nobody will have me." She laughed a little whimsically as she spoke. "Perhaps you mean nobody that you would have, has asked you," he corrected. "Have it your way." LOVE "Would it surprise you if I tell you that I love you, Honora?" "No, I think not, now that you have explained. I think you loved me all along, but you let your foolish conceit spoil our lives." "If we could go back again to that night on the beach, how different our lives might be. Would you go back if it were possible?" "Don't, Donald," she cried softly: "you're hurting me. We can't bring back the past. It is done forever." "But we have the present. We have this hour. We can get some happiness from this hour." And with that he caught her swiftly to him, kissing her passionately SELF-ABNEGATION, thrift, the sublime instinct of motherhood, minister to the greatness of the Honora Ashley, Martha Evelyn Brown creates in 'The Forbidden Hour.' "The picture is not overdrawn, all that is ideal in womanhood triumphs, the fine conventions of society are vindicated. The story brings a strong moral message." LOVE A Short Story of Love, Passion and Retribution REV. WILLIAM H. PECK. Bethel A. M. E. Church, Detroit, Mich. "Let me go, Donald!" she cried, struggling free from him. "This is madness!" "Madness! I am mad—mad with longing for you, with love of you!" She felt her blood racing swiftly, felt a sharp tingling warmth; felt the intoxication of his nearness creeping over her; felt all the longing of ten years rushing in upon ner; but she struggled to master herself. "Tomorrow you will realize that I am right. Tonight you're letting your emotions and memories run away with you." Her words were calm enough, but he caught the faint vibrancy of her voice and saw the rose flush under the velvet tan of her cheek, and he knew that her words belied her real feelings. "Tomorrow I will be gone and I may not ever see you again. This hour may be all that we may ever have together. Shall we take it, Honora? It may be all that we ever have." "Please, Donald—don't! You make it hard for me." "But this hour is curs—all we may ever have. Let us take it." Again he caught her to him, raining kisses upon her soft upturned mouth. His words burned into the innermost parts of her being. They beckoned and lured her; they threatened to undermine her resistance. WHY NOT? After all, why not live this hour? Why not take this hour to keep a bright jewel to brighten her life in the dark years ahead? She lay there with her head against his shoulder, toying with the cup of love offered her, wondering whether she dared to drink. Suddenly there flashed across her mind the item she had read in the evening's paper. Did she dare break conventions and traditions as that woman had done? It was her right. Her life was her own. If she dared do this, her sacrifice might be compensated. Even if it meant giving up her position and her business, it would be worth it to have a little child of her own. She saw again Alice's little boy, with his big dark eyes. Donald's child was older, but he had big dark eyes. He seemed to be standing there before her, watching her. VIRTUE TRIUMPHS Fear and shame stole over her and she drew away from the man's embrace. "Donald," she said, "you must go now. We have both been near to rashness. We may love each other, but we can't do this—we haven't the right." "Come, Honora! If you're thinking of Juanita—my wife—she doesn't count. She doesn't love me—doesn't care what I do." "No, it isn't that so much. It's your son I'm thinking of. He is the one that really counts, and I can't let you break faith with him. If his mother has failed him, you must stand by him." He looked at her queerly for a moment, then he bent and kissed her forehead. "You're a wonderful woman, Honora!" he said, huskily. "Forgive me." "There is nothing to forgive, dear; only be to your boy the kind of father he can be proud of." He rose and went into the hall, where she stood while he put on his coat. Turning to her again, he said I'm glad I came tonight. I know now that you care. I know that there are good women and true, and some day soon I'll give my boy a real mother. Will you take me if I'm second-hand? "Yes, Donald," she said.

Only a South Sea Islander used to climbing coconut trees could have made that perilous descent and ascent of the chimney, armed as he was, on his ascent with the two heads. Most of these fellows, however, are very slender and agile, and besides, the Chief might have brought a young boy with him." "But where does the museum fit into this"? the Curator asked. "Why should this fellow come here, and if he should have a reason for doing so, why should he come here tonight?" "That's simple," Darrington continued. "The murderer, I believe, is anxious to get the head of the other chief which is in this museum. He only took Browning's head because WILL THE WHITE RACE TURN BROWN? WILL THE WHITE RACE TURN BROWN? trude permanently into the domain of the fair with more success than the Fair can intrude into the domain of the Dark." It is not strange, therefore, that nature is busily at work trying to adapt the white man for life in the territory he has invaded in the last 1000 years. In our own country a tanned skin is considered healthier by white folk than a pale skin; all movie and stage heroes are dark; black is the color of diplomacy and all solemn occasions; color is the vogue in furnishings, while sickness and death are associated with a colorless skin. There is a vast literature on this subject but it is only possible to scratch the surface in a popular scientific discussion of this kind. Suffice to say that most of the great cities in the United States are outside of the belt to which the white man's lack of skin-color adapts him. The longer he stays in this region the more will his skin pigment change. Already people with blonde hair are scarcer in the United States than in northern Europe whence most of the white people in this country came. Moreover, if it had not been for the tremendous emigration from Europe there would only be about 40 or 50 million people in the United States and one-third of them would range in color from tan to black. Now that migration from Europe has been stopped, the white people here can only sustain themselves by getting permanently tanned. They are already moving in that direction. In our issue of May 11 we mentioned that Mrs. Effa Donaldson of the Occult Digest was the author of our column on Dream Interpretation. This was an error which occurred in the composing room as Mrs. Donaldson is not the author of the column. —Editor. J. C. STEVENS CO., 4212 Milwaukee Ave. Dept. FAM-8161. Chicago (Continued from Page 2) Erratum In the dead of night, he was hustled through back alleys to the frigate "Creole." the other wasn't there. He probably doesn't know anything about this museum or that the head is here. Consequently I had an item placed on the front page of this afternoon's EAGLE which says that Captain Browning presented many curios of his travels in the South Seas to the museum, among them being the head of a former chief of Manea. Now, from a perusal of the shipping news in the morning paper I have learned that the next steamer bound for nearest port to Manea will leave tomorrow morning. I also learned that 'The Vesperia' arrived here about two weeks ago from the same region. Now what is more natural than this Polynesian should attempt to get the head he wants before the boat sails which is to take him home? Like many South Sea Islanders who have come in touch with the whites, this fellow has probably been to a mission school and so can read and write English. No one can recall being asked by anyone where Captain Browning lived, so I gather that the fellow looked in the telephone book. Now, if I'm right in my conjecture, he will visit the museum tonight, and that's why I don't want any watchmen around to interfere when he tries to get in." SOLUTION BEGUN "Well, I'll be dogged," cried Corrigan. "You've certainly got this thing figured out pretty good. I'll just stay here with you to see if this fellow comes." Turning to the Curator of the museum, he said, "Marshall, send those night watchmen away and we'll just leave a window open for this fellow in case he comes." For hours Darrington and Corrigan waited in the eery darkness of the South Seas room for the nocturnal visitor they expected. Slowly the clocks of the city tolled off the hours. Midnight came. The cold, damp fog rolled in from the harbor and chilled them to the bone. Two o'clock came. Still nothing happened. Corrigan was beginning to doubt. Had he permitted this black fellow to make a fool of him? Darrington was also beginning to doubt. In three hours it would be daylight or at least dawn, and certainly no one would think of entering the place at that hour. Three o'clock came. Still nothing happened. Then the keen ears of the detec- I AM YOUR FRIEND LET ME ADVISE YOU Dear Friend: Don't be unlucky and sad all your life.

They held their breaths and gripped their pistols. Darrington had his finger poised above the electric switch ready to flood the great room with light. Closer came the pad, pad, pad, of the bare feet on the smooth, hard floor. Then the feet stopped in the vicinity of the case containing the mumified head. They heard the case being pried open, and then at the prescribed signal from Corrigan, the Negro detective pressed the electric button. THE MURDERER APPEARS. There before the case, attempting to open it with a long, wicked-looking bolo, stood a slender brown man, with heavy Polynesian features. With a snarl he turned about, his eyes bloodshot with rage and leaped toward the detectives, swinging the bright blade. The revolvers spoke as one and the savage dropped at their feet severely wounded. Quickly the two men disarmed him. The two shots had found vital spots and the life of the man was fast ebbing away. Between gasps he told his story. It was just as Darrington had cleverly foreseen. Before he died he directed them to his lodgings where they found not only the captain's head but also the mummified head of a Polynesian. "Where did that come from?" Corrigan asked, pointing to the mummified head. Darrington laughed. "That's from the captain's study," he replied. "It was in a small glass case on one of the shelves.

Returning now as a conqueror, he simply overcomes his uncle by his display of wealth. The narrative runs: One of his greatest exploits was his encounter with his rival, Abooddeji, for the love of Ibla, daughter of his uncle, Malik, a wealthy chief. Antar was returning from his conquests in distant parts of Asia, loaded with spoils when Abooddeji, surnamed "the Invincible," marched to meet him. "At daybreak, Antar ordered the slaves to prepare for departure. Six hundred was their number. When the mules and camels were loaded and the female slaves, Grecians, Persians, Georgians, and Franks, were mounted on them, Antar presented to Ibla three variegated robes, studded with precious metals and jewels; he clothed her in them and placed on her head the diadem that the king of Persia had given him. He also ordered forth for her the magnificent silver litter, the supports of which were of burnished gold. At the sight of this mass of splendor, Ibla was stupefied and amazed. Her father, Malik, as he surveyed it, was in the greatest consternation and surprise, but as to her mother, her tongue was tied up in her mouth. Antar cared not for any of them, so entirely was he devoted to Ibla, producing articles after articles in succession until she was bewildered. He raised her into the litter with her mother and commanded the slaves to go forward." But challenging the redoubtable warrior to single combat, Antar "pressed on him, wearied him, and terrified him, then extending his sword, pierced him between the breasts, and forced the barb through his shoulders." Because of his ancestry, Antar met great opposition in love, thus evoking some of his most beautiful poems.

CURLY HAIR SINGS OF HIS BELOVED. It is in this manner that Antar sings the praise of his beloved Ibla.

"When she smiles between her teeth is a moisture composed of wine, of rain, and of honey. Her throat complains of the darkness of her necklaces. Alas! the effect of that throat and that necklace. Will fortune ever, oh daughter of Malik, bless me with they embrace, that would cure my heart of all the sorrows of love? If my eye could see her baggage camels I would rub my cheeks on their hoofs.

The individual in the entire United States who has contributed most to the progress of the Negro race. ed." BATTLE POEM The following are some of the verses from the poem that was hung in the Temple: "As soon as I beheld the legions of our enemies advancing and animating one another to battle, I, too, rushed forward and acted without reproach. "The troops called out, Antara! while javelins long as the cords of a well were forcibly thrust against the chest of my dark steed. "I ceased not to charge the foe with the neck and breath of my horse until he was mantled in blood. "My steed, bent aside with the strokes of the lances in his forehead, complained to me with gushing tears and tender sobbing. "Had he known the art of discourse, he would have addressed me in plaintive strain and had he possessed the faculty of speech he would have spoken to me distinctly.

Some of his finest poems extolled the beauty of a black skin: "In blackness there is great virtue if you will but observe its beauty . . . Black ambergris has the purest fragrance . . ." Antar was killed in battle in 615 A.D. while making one of his head-long, impulsive charges against the enemy. Larousse, noted French encyclopedia says of him: "The blackness of his skin caused him to be classed with the lowest slave of the tribe. From his infancy he gave proof of extraordinary force and courage. By the brilliance of his acts he redeemed his extraction and won his freedom. Like most Arab chiefs, he was as skilled in the poetic art as in the use of the sword...." "Deprived of the advantages of good looks and birth, he won merit by force of soul, by the power of his spirit, and the indomitable energy of his character, occupying the foremost rank among men..."
