AS she is preparing to take
fourth husband, and wishes to
celebrate the event in an ap-

offers the handsome sum of
$4,000 for the right idea-some-
thing startling, that has never
yet been carried out either by
herself or by her rival givers
of freak dinners, geological
dances or Oriental high jinks.
Who will come to the rescue
of Mrs. Gouraud in her hour
of need and win that $4,000?
Don't imagine the task an
easy one. While exhausting
her own ingenuity, Mrs. Gou-
raud has endeavored to eX-

What's the Matter With Richmond?



Mr.. Editor: It with much surprise, in
attending two OF the Anti Saloon league con-
ventions l noted the apparent apathy of the
Richmond churches to this movement.
So far as one can observe from the attend
ance of Richmond people the sessions of
this convention. they treat it with nearly com
piete Indifference. | was reared In Richmond

member of one OF the leading Baptist churches
there. and my acquaintance in that church was
large and the leading members were personally

those conventions.
this greatest of all movements, looking the
uplft of mankind the publication Of our social
life and our political life. and the promotion
or our Christian faith. and of the benefits of
our material progress, is applicable to very
many Of the other churches in that great city.
Richmond always responds noby when called
upon in matters of benevolence and other good
works: what is the of her tagging in
this? The State of North Carolina. which sew
eral years ago furied the whlskey banner and
flung To the breezes instead one emblematic
of purity and advancement, is appealing To you
TO join hands with her and make this fight for
right We of Virginia have never appealed to
that old State in vain; our neighbor, friend

towns and villages in Virginia. Richmond alone
does not enforce this.
One other question too. comes to my
mind. 1t Is q question that causes adverse COM
ment by every visitor to Richmond. and that
is the condition of sidewalks or rather the
utter lack of sidewalks in some sections. Is
there law compelling property owners to
improve their property? In the seventeen hun
dred block Grove avenue, there Is but one
lot In front of which the walks are not laid.
In place of a sidewalk there is mud puddle
compelling the pedestrian to walk in the mid
die of the street rather than cover his feet
with mud, which will then be tracked over the
pavement next door. This liz but one of thou
sands of incidents and OF but many sun
jects you might touch upon. What you think
of the arch, proposed to he erected at some
point In Richmond, would prove of interest TO
your readers.
In any event let your readers have your opin-
ION some subject other than self praise or
free advertising for a certain actress. the fight
against whom and constant reference to did
more to bring her to public attention hert and
elsewhere than anything else in years.

Hart-White Law Not Approved.
Editor virginian:

Editor Virgnian:
Sr,--T notice through the columns OF your
paper that the senate voted for what is known
the Hart-White game law. In my judgment
the way the law is framed it is almost per-
feet nuisance, and have heard numbers Of
persons express themselves in the last forty
eight hours. and l sincerely hope that the house
will kill the bill. 1t is folly for the people in
the rural districts and neighbors especially, to
have 10 get permission In writing before they
can cross the others land while hunting. There
liz common custom in the rural districts for
neghbors to hunt each others land
Then again. this will stop certain class from
hunting almost entirely and allow lot of ne
groes and a certain class of white people who
disregard the law to hunt whenever they choose.
Yours very truly,
