Private Life of Jonah

TT WASN'T q whale which swallowed
l Jonah. theories Stanley Suchwalko.
Ii was big mouthed fish In northern
Michigan His friend, Laddle Hornik,
captured the monster In 1890
Laddle inspected the fish, which had
laid down It's life while being hooked,
gated and beaten over the head with
a pair OF oars, and couldn't decide
what to do with It, The size seemed
to destroy the fish's commercial value
and imagine Ladies' surprise, says
Stanley, when the first stranger to
arrive bid fabulous price for the
fish's scales.
Laddie yelled "Sold!" Then he re-
covered his poise, sheared off the
scales, counted the money and watched
the stranger bear the scales away
''What'll you do with emp asked
Ladde.
I'm spade manufacturer from Mo-
line, Ill.," replied the buyer. i've got
material here for 6,400 spades of the
best chilled steel"
Buyer after buyer paid staggering
prices for different parts of the fish
and Laddie. says Stanley, didn't get
wise until a tremendous price was bid
and accepted for the fsh's stomach.
The stomach buyer Immediately slit
open the fish's belly and revealed the
golden throne upon which Jonah had
been seated during his long captivity
Its cheap at half the price stated
the buyer with pardonable satisfaction
ms he brushed stray fin from his
precious purchase.

tell you as well as we can that It
is probably the most convenient
and unusual method of buying
that can be found. Sucher Tire and
Battery Service has made it easy
for them to buy and can make 1t
just as easy for you. There is no
need for you to tie up your car in
a garage because you can't afford
to lay out from twenty to forty
dollars all at one time for tires,
batteries, etc. Go in and let them
explain this unusual plan to you
whereby you can purchase the
Goodrich Safety Silvertown that is
three time safer for very little
down and over a period of weeks.
The Sucher brothers have been
in the tire business in Detroit for
The last thirty years. That is al
most as long as the tire industry
has been in existence, so you may
rest assured that here are two
men who know most of the ans
wers on your tire problems and
they are always very glad to help
you in any way they can. 1t has al
ways been their policy to keep
abreast Of the times and move fow-
ard, never remain at a standstill.
They have moved shoulder to
shoulder with the City of Detroit in
its progress.

ed the sensational decision of the

an exoneration of the defendants

was inviting a lynching, for they
have no evidence that these men
are guilty other than that evidence
the supreme court has declared
void"

Judge Longino said that 1t was ap-
parent the Negroes had not been
given a fair and impartial trial
In Kemper. II I send them back
there for a second hearing on muir
der charges this court would be a
party to a lynching. My interpre-
tation Of the supreme court deci-
sion is, that in part it exonerates
these defendants. Since the state
can produce no additional evidence
than was introduced at the original
trial and which has since been de-
clared invalid, it is my opinion that
these three parties are being held

W. P. A. WRITERS ASSEMBLE HISTORY OF j. S. NEGROES
LITTLE KNOWN
FACTS TO BE
COMPILED

Washington, d. ca n P)-
Many little-known facts about Ne
gro history and life are contained
in the articles arriving daily at the
Washington office of the forthcom-
ing American Guide, to be publish
ed by the Works Progress Admin
istration. One hundred sixty-three
Negro writer's are now engaged in
gathering the material. In addition
many state offices are planning
supplementary work for the writ
ers, which will cover many hither-
to neglected phases of Negro life
in America.
The GUIDE will contain essays
on the various racial groups within
each state, describing their social
and economic life. Workers have
been gathering musty documents,
letters. and printed matter on these
subjects for some time. Some Of
these essays will survey the his
tory and activities Of colored per-
sons. others will outline tours
which will include points of inter-
est important to Negro history and
life. The suggested tours will be
of type to correct the impression
that the American Negro is contin-
ed TO the Deep South and TO Har-
lem. for the GUIDE viii point ont
where he may be found i'm industry,
art. the professions, and official
life.
An-NegrO Towns in L. $.
Outstanding points of interest in
some of these tours will be the five
independent Negro towns which
America now boasts. They are
Mound Bayou. Mississippi-the old
est. founded in 1SS7-Boley, Okla
homa: North Brentwood and Fair
mount Heights. Md.-suburbs Of
the National Capital-and High
land Beach, Md, a chesapeake
Bay community of summer homes.
Several "cultaural islands" dis
tinctly important to Negro life al
so will be included such as Louis
iana's Mulattoes of Cane River
who live isolated from the sur
rounding territories; the mulatto
groups of Southern Maryland, who
are but slightly less clannish
South Cardinals Gullah Negroes
and Georgia's Guichees; and the
remnants of Baltimore's French
Catholics from Santo Domingo.
To Publish Data
AS all material for the GUIDE
must be condensed into its brief
est possible form, supplementary
publications are being planned.
Arkansas will publish History OF
the Negro in Arkansas. Georgia, in
cooperation with Atlanta Univer-
sity. is sponsoring a collection OF
personal "reminiscences of ex-
claves. California and Kansas are
preparing a study of the current
status of the Negro in these states.
Louisiana and Michigan each plan
a state history of the Negro which
will trace his social, economic,
and legal development. Most of the
writer's on the staff of the Writer'S
Project are located in the South
ern and Central sections of the
country.

JACKSON, Miss.-After a spirit
ed and hard-fought battle of legal
technicalities here last week, three
colored sharecroppers, Ed. Brown,
Henry Shields, and Yank Filing
ton were ont step nearer freedom
in their long battle against the
charge of having murdered a white
Kemper county farmer in May,
1884.
Judge A. H. Longino, after lis
tening to the argument of Earl
Brewer, Esq, attorney for the trio,
granted a writ Of habeas corpus
to discharge the men completely.
District Attorney John c. STEM
mis- Of Kemper County and three
assistants Immediately filed An APP
peal before Judge Longino asking
that the writ just granted be super
seeded until the supreme court could
hear the case on appeal. Objec-
ton was made by counsel for the
three men and Judge Longino sus-
tanned it. Technically, for these
few moments, the defendants we're
free men. However, the prosecut-
ing attorneys then appeared before
Chief Justice Smith of the Mississ-
ippi supreme court and got an or
der from him superseding the dis
charge of the defendants until the
matter could be heard in the SUI

'But the guest hadn't been in

never bragged-juSt had a jolly
way of making himself the goat

more strange places in the world
than anyone I'd ever met before.
Mother took a great fancy to
him and told brother he might
stay on, as he was working to get
a job in this country, the climate
in China being very bad for him.
But when mother found out we
were in love, she turned cold. She
accused me of fickleneSS, and she
accused the young man Of getting

he knew 1 was practically engaged,

to me, he has said bluntly: 4

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 am engaged to be married,
and we are planning our wedding
for the very near future. / have
been married once before, by a
Justice of the peace. But this time
I want a church wedding. We
have a lovely chapel here, and l
want to be married in the after
noon, about 3 or 4 o'clock.
"Will you please tell me what
is the proper dress for me and
for the bridegroom? Shall I carry
a bouquet or wear a cOrsage?
What should my matron-Of-hOnOr
wear? MARJORIE
Your second wedding should
be planned on the most simple OF
lines, but it can be completely
beautiful, especially in the part OF
the country in which you live.
You shouldn't, of course, wear
the white wedding dress and ven
for this second marriage. But you
could wear a lovely chiffon, in a
shade becoming to you, or q mar
ouisette dress (marquiSette is very
popular at the moment, and very
GRACEFUL, or a net, or a sou
crepe, or a lace dress. I Suggest
that you consider having an en-
semble, dress and short jacket. =
this is a perfect type of attire Tor
a brides second wedding. Your
dress might be printed chiffon,
but I believe that a pastel would
be more effective.
Your hat and accessories should
be most carefully, most artistical-
ly planned. 1t should be toward
the dressy type, of soft horSehair,
say, or lace, or a combination Of
these two. Your slippers might be
of crepe, dyed to match the shade
of your dress. You needn't wear
gloves. A corsage would be more
appropriate but you may carry a
bouquet if you like.
Your matron of honor would
wear a costume styled on the or.
der Of yours -. an afternoon dress
Of a color to blend har1noniously
with yours, dressy hat.
The bridegroom may wear a bust
ness suit dark blue preferably.
Or he probably will prefer to wear
