"Some Wild Oats" which is coming TO
the Rayo Theatre, on Monday and
Tuesday, March 3rd and 4th. The reas-

"Some Wild Oats" is film that
should be seen by everybody 1t is a
film that bares the dangers and snares
that beset young men and young wo'
men who stand on the threshold of life
with everything to learn and no ex-
perience to guide them.
The picture has a tremendous appeal
to women. AS DR.. Fronczak, Commits
sioner of Health Of Buffalo, said at the
private showing of the film: "Not only
should every father take his son to
see this picture, but every mother in
the city as we'll, should bring her
daughter. have never seen a film
which barred the dangers of sex indul-
gence in so offensive and so compre-
hensive way
The picture deals with the terrible
results of immortality but the story is
told so wildly and is so we'll acted that
it becomes one Of the most interesting
screen pictures ever seen. William
Jefferson, a son of the late Joe Jeffer-
son, has the leading part. and he is
supported by company Of unusual ex
cellence. 1t relates the adventures OF a
country boy in great city who is
about to join the navy. Another young
man who has become tainted by i'm

Never before in the history Of mo-

interest and sensation in Chicago as
"Some Wild Oats" where it was shown
for four months at the Barbee Loop

TOO MUCH DIGGING.

This race question has caused mucl
trouble and it will be the source O.
much more, when you begin digging
under family tree, you never KNOW
Just what you will find. For about two
hundred years. these white men have
been roaming about in this country
with Negroes and Indians and IN
dams and Negroes and these white
folks had better "let well enough
alone" The following interesting &C
count will explain the cause of our re-
marks in the premises:
The State Board Of Health has re-
Quested the Henrico police to lnVest!'

find the facts at the Bureau Ol Vital
Statistics, but it may be necessary to
carry the investigation to the county
from which the family has just moved.
The courts have taken hand in the
case recently arising in Richmond, in
which children attempting to enter a
ored father, according to the Bureau
white school were found to have col

The court in the county from which
this family has moved issued an order
that the father had been changed TO
white in the records of the county
clerk, where he was registered as col
ored by the commissioner of the reve-
nue.. This man is still listed as colored
at the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
Now they are talking about enacting
a bill to force the registration with
reference to racial statistics. Again
we repeat it, the white folks had better
"let well-enough alone" They are liable
by ga scratch of a pen" to be putting
white folks over on the Negro side of
the racial fence and colored folks over
on the white folks side of this same
dividing line. In the meantime, law
suits and shooting scrapes will logical
ly follow. Only God can unerringly
trace the racial blood in q man or a
woman, and He is not in that business
right through here now.

AN ABIDING FAITH.

We have never lost confidence in
the better class of white people in
this community or our faith in God
and the final triumph of right. We
have never believed that this class of
people would permit the humble, thrift
ty, substantial colored people here,
who have remained South and who are
a necessary asset to this community
to be Inundated and Invested Of their
savings by the destruction of their
leading financial institution. We have
always believed that the other class OF
white folks, who are opposed to us ana
who envy our prosperity and our lead
ership would be controlled by this bet.
ter class of white people.
Present events and happenings are
confirming our conclusions and the
time is not far distant when full
realization of our hopes will come to
pass. When prominent white citizens
here accepted the task by forming
themselves into an advisory committee
for the protection of colored folks In
terests and this act was followed by
assurances that a white committee OF
bankers would accept the task Of aid
ing the black southerners in their eff
forts, we were convinced that the end
was in sight. Legal technicalities and
and red tape procedures must and Will

the reopening of the Mechanics Saw

fact.
