The next day Mrs. Harper had
q heart attack and DR.. Patterson
ruled as a result that there could
be no question of changing

Mrs. Harper grinned weakly
at Candace from her pillows.
She said with satisfaction, II
guess you'll believe I'm really
sick now. ! guess you'll have to

Candace smiled at her. One

"Humph." Mrs. Harper said.

thinking privately, if she comes
home, DR.. Patterson or no, I
don't 60 with her. I won't stay in
the same house with that fresh
grandson Of hers. thank you.
But the old lady had evidently
expected that reaction and was
prepared. That evening Duffy
asked to speak with Candace.

q stumbling halt.

him dryly. She added severely,
"You have too much, that's the
trouble. Or at least, one trouble.
There are a lot of other things
wrong with you too"
He didn't take offense. He said
humbly. you're the only nurse
in the place Grandmother can
stand. If you'll just stick with
her promise you'll have no rea-
son to be annoyed with me, you
won't have to be at all afraid Of
me, afraid that"
"Afraidl" Candace echoed
coldly. LET me assure you,
young man, that II would take
more than q fresh youth to scare
me off q case"
She realized then that she had
practically committed herself.
She shrugged mental shoulders:
Oh, well, this case or another,
what difference did it make?

windows, consider the ingenious
new fixtures that obviate the
necessity of old-fashioned rods.
The new arrangement Is simply
a grooved wood moulding which
is attached to the window frame.
Tapes with metal tabs which fit
into the moulding grooves are
sewed onto the top hens of the
curtains. To hang, just slip the
metal tabs into the goroveS and
adjust curtains in graceful folds.
Moulding comes with one, two
or three grooves SO that glass
curtains, overdraperies and such
may be accommodated with the
single fixture. Moulding and
tabled tape are sold by the foot,
so that you need buy only what
your window measurements call
for.

ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. c.. May
13.-George Clyde Hengy, jr., 16,
who told officers he shot his mother
to death at their Corpus Christi
(Tex) home last Friday, was in Jail
here today after the wreck of an au-
tomobile in which he was fleeing
with his 3-year-old sister and the
family dog.
State Highway Potralman H. w.
Rothrock said the slender, 6-foot
youth told him:
Il don't know why did it. 1 just
walked into the house and saw my
mother sitting there. l had shot
gun in my hand. I shot her twice in
the head and covered her I'D with
a blanket. Then I got a % rifle and
shot her again"
Patrolman Rothrock, who de-
scribed the boy as "the coolest per-
son I have ever Seen," said he was
picked up after the family car COL
lided with truck near the Virginia
line.
A .20-gauge automatic shotgun, a
20 rifle and $50 shells were found
IN the car, the patrolman said. The
boy had Is cents in his pocket.
The officer quoted the boy as say
ing that when he left his Corpus
Christi home he saw his sister In
the yard and II thought so much Of
her that I took her along" Mr..
Rothrock said he doubted If the girl
knew what had happened.
Young Hengy told officers he
travelled on his fathers courtesy
card from a gasoline company and
had 50 when he left. He said he and
his sister slept in the car at night.
A charge Of juvenile delinquency
was filed against the youth in Cor
pus Christi, and Mr.. Rothrock said
the boys father, construction firm

route here.

Wright followed with suggestions.
At this time a motion was intro
duced TO form a committee to adj
wise the OFF. This was strongly
opposed by DR.. Charming H. To-
bias who told the group they had
neither the right nor the privilege
to step over the invitation extend
ed it to form such committee.
Bitter debate followed this mo-
ton with confusion running high.
At one time, there were motions,
substitute motions, amendments
and other parliamentary pro-
cedures on the floor. After killing
off the resolution, Jeannetta Welch
of the AKA again precipitated
heated debate when she offered a
resolution that the OFF should do
something about the Detroit
Housing situation, in whicl, she
was strongly supported by dele
cation of Detroiters who attempted
to make this the theme of the
meeting. Again, DR.. Tobias in his
usual calm manner pointed out
the fallacy Of such action. The
meeting finally adjourned at 5:3C
with officials promising to send
each person attending copy of
the proceedings. It was decided
that the government should do
something about its own pro-
cedures; that a "bill of rights be
drawn up and submitted for the
benefit of Negroes and a commit
tee named at later date to con-
tinue and advise with OFF from
time to time.
During the course of the meet
ing, j. Finley Wilson got the floor
and made one of his blood and

Short and stocky 42-year- -old
Billy Rose, millionaire who looks
like he would ask you for a cup of
coffee, not only owns the Horse
shoe, but during the Worlds Fair,
he was sole boss of the Acquacade.
Billy Rose is extremely fond of
Noble Sissle and had him playing
at another niteclub here, which he
owned before opening the Horse
shoe last March. The Diamond is
for continuous luxury and the
Horseshoe for luck.
But in these days of war, SisSle
is reminded of the time when he
too served Uncle Sam. That was on
March 18th, 1918. Sissle was in a
different scene, he was along with
Col. William Hayward's celebrated
18th New York Infantry Regiment
across the seas at Reimcourt, France,
fighting with the French Army.
The French designated it as Trois
Cen Soixante Neuviene Regiment
d'Infantrie, U. S., when our best
boys from Harlem moved up into
their billets the French General
who greeted them said mockingly
in Maurice Chevalier infections:
Welcome leetle black bab-bees'.
But 397 colored soldiers sleep in
French cemeteries today and "the
lettle black bab-bees" won every
decoration for gallantry before it
was over.
So on every March 18th, in
memory of them, Noble plays all
of the tunes which Lieut.. Jim
Europe's 18th Infantry band play
ed as Hayward's bronze charges
moved up to the front. Sissle just
can't forget those days!
