IN MEHORIAM

In loving memory Of our dear
mother and grandmother, Robinetsa
D. Cogbill, who left US three years
ago. February IT, 1925:
We sit alone tonight and gaze
Upon that vacant chair,
And memory takes US back to days
When our dear mother sat there.
And now three lonely years have
passed
Since we have seen her face.
We think Of her just as when last
She sat in her old place.
Silently the shades Of evening
Gather around our lonely door,
Silently brings before us
The dear face we'll see no more.

The Race Integrity Bill attracted
much attention here and the publ
cation upon that subject entitled;
NEGROES Want Racial Integrity Too
by John Mitchell, Jr. was the SUP
iecl of almost universal commenGa
lion on all sides regardless OF race
orr color. Rev. Dr.. Gordon B. Han

Virginia Union University and pastor

was first to recommend the publlca'
ton and urge that it be SEM
to rhe Forum of the Richmond, va
News Leader. 1t appeared therein
Thursday, February 8, 1928. AS
matter of fac. it was one Of three
editorials which were to appear and
did appear in The Planet OF Feo-
ruary IL, 1928.
Rev. William H. Stokes, pastor
of the Ebenezer Baptist Church ana
Rev. A. w. Brown, pastor or the
Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church
gave hearty approval to the stale

eral opinion that no one thlng d
more to spur the opposers OF tnls
bill in the Senate than did the ar
gument, legal or otherwise therein
contained. The vote was 13 for the
bill and 26 against. 1t is intimated
that this measure will be brought
up again at the next session OF tho
legislature. AS there have been SO
many requests for copies OF The
Planet containing the editorials ID

edition, they are reproduced here as

which bin defines Negroes as persoas

As this law would be retroactive.
ii can be attacked as unconstitu'

mean that an Indian having three
fourths or less OF white" blood
would still be regarded as an Indian,
but if he had any Negro blood what
sAeyer within his veins, he would be
a Negro. When the bill was first
proposed to Chief Cook, he gave his
approval to the measure, but learned

heated discussion Of the issue.
Just how the proponents Of the
measure could argue that person

The system is a great protection

urged to cooperate with the boys In
carving out the instructions. The
service lasts only about half an hour
at the time the schools convene and
are dismissed. It is most satisfac'

STOCKS STRONGER
But TRADING LIGHT
Market Apparently Firm De-
spite Money Situation.
Holds Steady Trend.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


NEW YORK. August 9--Prices we're
moderately higher in today's stock
market, but trading was very low. The
fact that prices held as we'll as they
did. with the money situation so I'M
certain. was impressive.
Early strength was not fully MAIN
tanned In the afternoon. but there was
no weakness. Volume did not increase
on the decline.
1ndustrials monopolized attention, the
rails being neglected Montgomery
Ward and General Motors we're the
leaders. The former made new high
for all time, when 1t sold at 1913 in the
fourth hour. Chrysler did better also
In the latter part of the session. What
ever the fate OF the general list. spon-
sors for these stocks seemed to be sure
of their position.
The market had It's most confident
appearance in the last hour. General
Motors made It's best price at this time
st. Louis Southwestern extended its
early gain until above SO 1t was up more
than points on the day.
Discussion continued as to the proba-
bility OF the New York Federal Reserve
Bank raising the rediscount rate at to-
days meeting There was good deal
Of nervousness apparent In brokerage
oflces on this account. Time money
was firmer. with 6i4 per cent bid
against 6 per cent. which has been the
ruling rate for weeks.
Early Prices Higher.
Notwithstanding these discouraging
conditions, prices worked higher in
the early dealings. Perhaps it was the
way In which liquidation had not been
brought out on similar occasions in the
past or perhaps 1t was the conviction
that business interests would protest
against any long period of high money,
but In any event opening prices were
higher all around
Montgomery Ward again was the
leader in the industrial part of the list.
At 1914 it duplicated its previous high
record for all time. Sears Roebuck was
we'll supported. Radio ran up over
points at IT'S. responding to the account
of the air transmission of moving pic
lures. Warren Brothers gained more
than points.
! Traders who had sold General Motors
short Wednesday took In their contracts
| today, as the report spread through the
| street that Mr.. du Pont would recon
| slider his decision to resign. Chryslel
| moved up and most of the Independent
| automobile stocks were moderately high
err Republic Iron a. Steel was the ia.
vorite In the steel group. although
United States Steel crossed 140. Spe-
cialties went along to greater or less
extent.
| A little more interest was shown In
| the railroad stocks. st. Louis South
western went to new 1928 high above
OIL. For the most part. however, trans
actions In the carrier shares did mol
result In much change of price. There
we're one or two strong spots among tho
utilities. notably Consolidated Gas alc
Columbia Gas The former was bought
because of the improved prospect of the
merger with Brooklyn Edison.
