rome Smith, 1920 Mccullough street,

her husband, whose dead body was
found wrapped in a sheet in their

Jerome Smith was an employee of
the post office here, and his absence

Practical Joker,
Posing AS Thief
Shot In Leg

John Ford, 43, 4735 Langley
Ave, is a practical joker-at least
he was until recently.
Ford, who is a mail chauffeur,
employed at the post-office, was
sitting in the dining room of the
apartment where he is a roomer,
engaged in a game of cards with
Mrs. Beulah Simpson. In the
course of the game Mrs. Simpson
thought she heard or saw burglar
entering the house. She fled
screaming from the room.
Seeing an opportunity to play
a practical joke, Ford hid in a
closet and posed as the burglar.
In the meantime Percy Devine,
another roomer, heard the wo-
mans screams and came running
with revolver. Seeing Ford hid
den in the dark closet, he fired
one shot, striking the joker in the
thigh. Ford is now joking or
burgling, as the case may be, at
the county hospital.

BOIL WEEWL HOLDS
TX R R D R 6 FOR
CAROLINA FARMERS

MAXTON, N. C., Oct. 29.-Stories
among the farmers show that not a
few are superstitious about the boil
weevil. An old woman said, Pm
scared of them, they are getting in the
peas. and one man died after eating
peas for dinner" Being assured that
the weevi1 was good for soup, she in
sisted that it would not do to kill
them, anyway, that man up about
Rockingham put some in a bottle and
burned them and on Saturday follow
ing he dropped dead.
Many farmers tell you that the corn
husks are full of them and say they
breed in any plant that they can pene-
trate with their bill and deposit an
egg.
One man stated that his boy was
cracking hickory nuts the other night
and found seven grown ones inside
the nut.

MORTGAGE CD.
7 D OPPOS
SEGREGATION

A little more than year ago the
Real Estate Mortgage and Bond Cor
poration was organized to combat the
efforts of the banks and real estate
brokers who are refusing to make
loans on the property of colored peo-
pie when they become due or to re-
new any mortgage when it falls due.
There are thousands of colored homes
today in the city which are liable to be
taken from their owners unless there
is way opened TO refund mortgages.
Those who have invested in the Real
Estate Mortgage and Bond Corpora
ton are among the real builders of
Chicago. The money that they have
invested in the corporation has helped
themselves and they have helped to
save the homes OF nearly twenty-five
colored owners OF this city. Their
money, through this corporation, has
helped to provide the fundamental ne
cessity Of lifc-a house to live in. And
the corporation is paying its investors
at the rate OF eight per cent a year on
every dollar that they put into it.
Banks Refuse Loans
Is it not time for us to get together
ana PROVIDE some means to protect
our homes, when there are banks
among US like the Franklin Bank,
which has on deposit millions of dol
lars OF our money and yet will not
lend one cent on piece of property
owned by a colored person.
Through the Real Estate Mortgage
and Bond Corporation a group of
is being erected here in the
city, giving colored men an oppor-
tupity to earn! an honest living for
their families, and also affording the
home-seeking man or woman a chance
to purchase on favorable terms,
modern home.
The Corporation has hundreds of
on hand for loans, and as
fast a the stock IS sold the money is
loaned out on real cstate-the safest
in the world. Every dollar
you invest goes into the treasury, be-
cause the corporation docs not pay
any commission Tor the sale Of stock,
nor does il charge any premium on the
shares sold.

BELGIAN ISSUES
LEAD BOND LIST

NEW YORK, May 1.-The bond
market was strong today and fairly
active. But there was nothing COM
mensurate with the movement in the
stock list. Liberty bonds did COM
paratively little, one way or the other
On the day.
The principal incident in the market
for government issues was the
strength in all classes of Belgian
bonds. The 712s advanced point
to s.. The Ss, curiousiy enough, kept
at the same level AS the 1las. this
difference being explained by the fact
that the sinking fund provision for
reduction Of the first lot comes into
play before the similar provision on
the 8 per cents. The S per cents of
1925 made new high for the year
at 93z.
Other foreign government isues did
very little. French 8s were unchanged
at 9S1s. Denmark Is were about the
same at 80 to 9sk. United Kingdom
5hs of 1887 lost fraction to Sba4
Copper Bonds Firm.
In sympathy with the improve
Cerro de Pasco SIS rose point to
1881, a new top for 1921. There
was a better demand likewise for
Chile Copper IS and for American
Smelling So. The latter are up three
points from their recent low. Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph CONVEX
tible es, moving forward with the
stock. got up to 1917 which was a
new high for them. Goodyear IS DID
not add to their gain of Saturday, but
! they held their rise above 101 on very
i heavy trading.
Nothing further was said during the
day about Pierce Arrow and Duquesne
Light Syndicate flotations, which are
presumably scheduled for some time
this week.
Rail Issues Unchanged.
Railroad bonds were irregular, on
| the whole about the same as on Satur-
day. The newer equipments and other
| ten-year issues of the past year were
still inclined to feel the competition
/ Of the new Burlington collaterals.
The Louisville. and Nashville IS at
