fcr Curiam: .
We agree with the learned judge
elow that this case is controlled by
re decisions of the Supreme Court
i Buchanan v. Warley, 215 U. S.
0, and Harmogi v. Tyler, 273 U. S.
6S, reversing Tyler v. Harmon, 158
,a. 139, 104 So. 200. To the same
ffect' as these Supreme C ourt uo
sions is the Virginia decision of
vine v. City of Clifton Forge, 124
a. 781. 97' S. E. 310, which fol
tvs them. Attempt is made to dis
nguish the case at bar from these
?ses on the ground that the zoning
•dinAlice here under consideration
ises its interdiction on' the legal
rohibition of intermarriage and not
l race or color.; but, as the legal
rohibition of intermarriage is it
lf based on race, the question here,
, final analysis, is identical with
lat which the Supreme Cort has
rice decided'in the cases, cited. \\e
ive carefully considered the cases
I Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co., 272
. S. 365, and Zahn v. Board of
ublic Works, 274 ]],- S. 325, upon
hlch defendant relies; but we do
>t think that they are in point,
hey deal wifh the right of a city
forbfd the “rection of buildings
,a particu'a** kind or for a par
jular use within certain sections ot
e city, whi u manifestly is a ve**y
fferent question from that m
lyed here.
That the Supreme Court did not
nsider that fhe doctrine of Buch
ian v. Warley was m any way ove*
iled or limited by Euclid v. An
er is shown by the fact that Har
on v. Tyler .was decided, five months
ter the latter mase and its decision
is expressly based on the former.
ier$ was no error and decree be
5? is affirmed.

Plan" ntf seal estate financing, piud i
tkeir first semi-annual 6 per ceax
dividend .to the holders of Thurken i
preferred certificates on January 1,
1930.
This corporation has been doing
lusine&s in Richmond for the .past
three years and has built Up ir large |
clientele through its activities, es
pecially in the vVest End section ox,
our city., where they have secured,
for the* colored people of Richmond
the beautiful new and modern homes]
in the Rosewood Avenue and ldle-]
wood Avenue developments of the.
Rosewood Construction Corporation.
They have handled a iarge part of'
all the transactions having to do
with the aale of properyt all around
that section, as well as other parts
of the city
The jiuirKen nan was. wuug.n
about by the pressing need for real
estate leans oy our people in
amounts up to .$3,000 as loans for
amounts of this size are no longer
attractive to the larger financial in
stitutions of the city. They further
saw a great desire on the part oi
people not able to save a sufficient
down payment to own homes. To
take care of this need they are buy
ing properties in the various sections
of the city, remodeling and reno
vating them, and selling -them to
the people for small down payments
a-nd monthly notes like rent.
The certificates issued by this cor
poration pay a guaranteed dividend
of 6 per cent semi-annually and sell
at $52.50 per snare, with a par value
of $50 per share. They can be pur
chased in any amount with the 10
per cent down payment and the bal
ance in monthly installments. All
are fully secured by the assets of
the corporation and the loans made
by it on Richmond city properties.
The authorized capital is. $60,000,
of which around $15,000 is sold to
date. Property which the corpora
tion now owns is valued at $48,500,
on which there is a total indebted
ness of only $20,954. All loans are
made on a monthly payment basis.
These certificates offer a safe in
vestment for the person of large or
small means in that they are se
cured by improved property on a,
conservative margin and the loan j
being reduced monthly, thereby con-1
stantly increasing the margin of i
safety. They pay a guaranteed divi
dend of 6 per cent semi-annually
and may be purchased in large
amounts or as low as one share.
They provide a safe investment and
render a much needed service to the
colored people of Richmond. The
corporation woJd appreciate your
inquiry.

Lt.-Col. Alien-Potts
I
| Hon. Perry .W. Howard, Republi
can National Committeeman from
Mississippi, addressed a large audi
ence at the Ebenezer Baptist Church
last Sunday night. Mrs. Ora Brown
Stokes was sponsor for the meeting
and presided. Prominent citizens on
the pulpit, in addition to Dr. Wil
liam H. Stokes, pastor of the church,
I were Emmett C. Burke, president of
Consolidated Bank and Trust Com
pany; Bernard L. Kenney, secretary
treasurer Commercial Bank and
Trust Co.; Lawyer H. M. Greetti and
Mrs. Rebecca Stiles Taylor.
Mr. Howard delivered a powerful
; message to the citizens of Richmond
' on the political status of the Ameri
can Negro. There is no member of
oar group more qualified by training
and experience to inform and advise
on politics. He has served as as
sistant to the Attorney General of
the United States and is now the
national committeeman from the
State of Mississippi.
Attorney Howard stated that no
group within the United States has
more reason to be political alive than
the Negro. He needs it most. In
positive terms he reiterated time and
again that lily-whitism in the South
is the successor to the Ku Mux
Kian and was the most subtle enemy
and insidious foe of the Negro. The
Klan is the sworn enemy to our
progress and in his opinion the Dem
! oc ratio party was an angel compared
' to lily-whitism. His address was en
Ithusiastically received.
Mr. Walter Jackson rendered an
excellent solo, accompanied by Prof.
E. T. Pollard and Ebenezer’s choir
' under Prof. Walter Jones executed
some difficult compositions in a
splendid manner. The collection was .
lifted by Madame Lelia W. Fankett,
, assisted by Mr. B. A. Cephas an<i
• Deacon George Branch. Editor J.‘
H. Murphy, of the Afro-American cf
Baltimore, was introduced and made
a short talk.
Dr. and Mrs. StokeE received
many prominent guests in honor of
the distinguished lawyer and politi
cal leader at their beautiful manse
on Brook Road.
