MEETING OF WOMEN
AT NOON WEDNESDAY
The first of the weekly noon meet
ings of the business women to be held
after the Sunday party leaves" will be
held at the Grace M. E. church next
Wednesday.
With the permanent organization of
the Business Women's Conservation
committee, out of the invitation com
mittee that had been acting during
the campaign, the first move was to
establish the noon meetings.
For the time being the meetings
will be held but once a week, with
some local person to give the talk,
but it is hoped that the meetings will
grow to such an extent that a greater
number of meetings will have to be
held.
The practice of serving a 10-cent
luncheon will be continued, as has
been the case with Mrs. Asher's meet
ings. Over 3,000 meals were served in the

served, and even greater numbers of
girls dropped in to hear Mrs. Asher
talk.
Start Inquiry Into Death
Of Former Army Flyer
Found Dead May 10,1921
BOSTON, May 25. An inquest into
a year-old death mystery, the shooting
of Lieut. Paton C. McGilvary, a for
mer army aviator who had won sev
eral medals for bravery in the World
war, was reopened today. It had been
suspended for several months, after
brief sessions held last year in an at
tempt to clear up conflicting indica
tions of suicide and of murder. .
McGilvary's body bearing four bul
let wounds was found in an alley in
the Back Bay district here on May 10,
1921
The revolver used apparently
was his own. Only two of the four
fHrrtarpr1 f artrlrlo-pa u-pro f rvnn r T Ta
discharged cartridges were found
had been in financial straits and had
left a note regarded as a farewell to
Mrs. Evelyn Clifford, a friend, In
which he gave her his automobile.
Professor E. B. McGilvary, a mem
ber of the faculty of the University
of Wisconsin, father of the former
flyer, with other relatives and friends
insisted after independent inquiry
here that McGilvary had been mur
dered. Medical Examiner Leary's re
port was that death occurred "in a
manner unknown." Dr. Leary said,
however, that first indications were
definitely of suicide. When these ap
peared less clear later he asked for
an inquest by Chief Justice Bolster of
the municipal court so that the in
vestigation might be thorough. Joseph
C. Pelletier, then district attorney,
after a brief inquiry at the hime, an
nounced that McGilvary was a suicide.
Relatives of McGilvary caused Wis
consin pathologists to hold an autopsy
on the body after it was sent home for
burial. Their report was that he was
a victim of murder. Medical Exam
iner Leary said he could not subscribe
to such a finding.
The occasion for reopening the in
quest today was not announced.

Mr. Hough said, "The first poem
which Riley ever received any money
for brought him $8. This encouraged
him to go on and send more poems
to publishers, but they did not sell
readily. Just on the day of Riley's
death, I found a check in the coat
which Riley had been wearing up un
til his death, which was from a pub
lisher for our verses of one of Riley's
poems which brought $400.

wanis club once before in the past

PEOPLE ARE DUPES !
OF DEFINITION, SAYS
RESEARCH OFFICIAL
T .
EVANSTON, 111.. May 25. People
are "dupes of a definition, victims of a
bit of sharp practice in account" in
the interpretation of income, Basil M.
Manly of Washington, D. C. flirector
of research and investigation for the
United . States Commission on Indus
trial Relations, told the Conference on
Christianity, and the Economic Order
here today. "To put individual in
come accounting on the same basis
as corporate accounting,only surplus
over adequate living wage shoufld be
counted as income," he asserted. "Mr.
Manly was Joint chairman of the war
labor board in 1918-19 and an expert
of the United States bureau of labor
statistics from 1908 to 1912.
"Income as defined for corporations,
parntershipg and Individuals engaged
in business," Mr. Manly asserted,
"means net profits, after liberal de
ductions for expenses of operation,
maintenance, replacement, obsoles
cance, etc. Income as defined for
wage and salary earners means gross
earnings with no deductions for main
tenance or replacement of the human
machine.
Report of Distribution
"Of the net product of industry, ac
cording to the report of the National
Bureau of Economic Research, after
deducting the cost of raw materials
70 per cent goes to wage- and salary
earners, 30 per cent to receiver of
rent interest profits. Of the total na
tional income the richest one percent
receives 14 per cent, the richest five
per cent receives 26 per cent, the "rich
est 10 per cent receives 85 per cent.
The poorest 72 per cent receives 44
per cent, the poorest 10 per cent re
ceives two and a half per cent, the
poorest five per cent receives nine
tentha per cent. -
"In 1918, 621 persons reported in
comes over $500,000, totaling $536,439,
618 equal to earnings of 600,000, peo
ple at the average ($1,078) reported
for the same year for all employes
normally engaged in industry, includ
ig salaried employes. The concentra
tion of ownership and of the control of
wealth is inevitably increasing, unless
restrained by effective action."

wireless station
at summer camp
Cnntlniimis pommnTilpiition hv wire-
less between Richmond parents and
their boys in the summer camp, as
well as entertainment for the boys dur
ing summer evenings, in listening to
talks and special musical programs
from the Richmond station, probably
will be provided by action of the Rich
mond DX Radio club.
An offer of the loan of a wireless
sending and receiving set has been
made to the club, and members have
offered their services in supervising In
stallation and operation of the set.
Two evenings a week of practice in
struction in sending and receiving as
well as instruction on wireless prin
ciples, may be provided for also.
Approval of the proposed summer
camp station, and belief in its practi
cability, were expressed by Maurice
Druley. vice-president of the club,
Thursday. Several members of the
club have been planning to attend the
camp, he stated, and they will be avail
able t" assist with the station, while it
is probable that the existence of the
station will bo add to the popularity of
he camp that many DX members may
take advantage of it.
Joseph Winder, president of the
club, announced that the . matter of
establishing the station will be con
sidered at the next regular meeting,
June 1. Mr. Winder also was very
much pleased with the possibility of
including wireless instruction and
equipment as part of the advantages of
the camp. He mentioned particularly
the value of this instruction for be
ginners in -wireless, in preventing a
waste of time and money through lack
of information on the latest develop
ments. COMFORTABLE SUIT FOR THE

Britain is not going to be jockeyed
into the acceptance of a republic.
Elsewhere the refusal of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, to partici
pate in the boundary commission pro
vided by the treaty, is sharply, criti
cised. ;
The Westminster Gazette warns Sir
James that "it would be mere folly
for the English ministers to jnsist
that Collins adhere to the treaty, if
they admitted Craig's veto. The Craig
pronouncement definitely" lessens
every chance for peace in Ireland and

NEGRO YOUTH GLAD
TO BE IN M0BPR00F
JAIL AFTER ESCAPE
. (By Associated Press) - . -MACON,
Ga., May 25. Jim Denson,
a negro youth, whose appeal from a
death sentence was. carried without
avail to the supreme court of the. Unit
ed States, and who early this , week
narrowly escaped lynching at the
hands of a mob, was safe today in
Bibb's county mobproof jail. . . - -
"I sure am mighty proud to be here,"
was Jim's emiling comment, even
though the sentence to be hanged
June 16, for the alleged attack on
an aged white woman three years ago
still stares him in the face. Jim how-,
ever, had some reason to smile beyond
his escape from, the mob. because
numerous white people in tnis ana
Wilkinson counties who believed' his
escape an act of providence, were con-
sidermg an appeal to governor tiar-
I wick for commutation of his sentence
to life imprisonment
The negro, telling details of the
mob's action, said he asked them to
let him pray and they replied that
they hadn't time. "I heard them say
they would shoot me just out of town,"
he said. - . -
"The knot on the rope around my
neck was choVing me. I reached up
one hand in the dark and felt the slip
knot. I untied it. The automobiles
were going 30 miles an hour and I
says to myself. 'Jim, jump or be' kill
ed.' I jumped feet first flam-flooey,
and I hit the ground on my feet end
flopped over four times and 'rolled
into the ditch."

GREENVILLE DRIVER
2"
TO PILOTr'FLIWER"
AT SPEEDWAY.RACE
' INDIANAPOLIS. May 25. Ralph
DePalma, as usuat,"wili be fhefavorlte
of the fans when the 500-mile interna
tional sweepstakes is stirted for the
tenth time, Memorial Day, at the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway. While
DePalma will get the "big" hand he
will be forced to snare applause, this
year, with : two small "red coated"
racers, the Fronty-Fords. . - - '-
Jack Curtner of Greenville, Ohio,
and C. Glenn Howard, of Memphis,
Tenn., are going to drive the' pair of
"flivvers.' It is surprising how much
like the- "universal cars" tha two rac
ers are. The radiators ' are not the
same for the reason that more cooling
is necessary than iff a stock car." The
front springs ' are different, but the
rear springs are the same and the
rear axle will easily be recognized by
all the Ford owners. . - -, -
"The engine lias been changed in that
it has 16. instead of the conventional
eight valves, but the cylinder block- is
the tame. When Howard and Curtner
shift gears the-Ford owners will rec
ognise -the racers, as the planetary
gear shift and transmission fa as been
retained. The differential is the same
as the stock car -
The wheels are smaller than the
xtnnlr AA nnv. j: . m - j
ry 28-mch wheel. The spring suspen
sion has been changed to get the cen
ter of gravity low- and the-Fronty-Fords
almost hug . the brick , tracks.
Putting 16 valves in the special head
for the Ford engine, from which, the
cars get their name has contributed
to the noise making pre-elivities of the
engine. When the Fronty-Fords go by
their exhausts bark loudly and with a
full threated note that puts the larger
cars to shame.
One of the Interesting spectators at
the race will be Edsel B. Ford, presi
dent ot the Ford Motor company, of
Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Ford has ac
cepted tha invitation of secretary and
general manager of the speedway, T.
E. Myrs, to Tici as a judge the day
of the races. - In practice th little car's
have been running around a 90-mile
an hour average." The "flivvers" may
not win the race but they have a
chance and can be counted upon to fin
ish in the money. - - .
