"JIM CROWING" THEMSLLVES
Our waiters at the Colonial hotel who had trouble, some weeks ago, as a result of a strike of "white" waiters, employed at the same place, were "let in" last week and their places given to the strikers and their fellow-members of their union. Now, our "Colonial" waiters are very well-liikying try to organize a "jim-crow" union and alliate with the "white" union, and are being light off by the same element that seized their dismissal from the Colonial hotel service. In the local union, that has as members about every other race variety on the face of the globe but turns, will not accept our waiters into, then the latter had better stay out of the union and 10:10 it "to the last ditch" for the places in the hotels of the city and elsewhere here they want. Many of the members of the waiters' union are foreigners, far less intelligent than the average Afro-American waiter, every one of whom is an American, a citizen, and it would open its doors to our waiters as it does even to aliens or there should be "nothing doing" in the way of organization, but on the contrary an organized fight that would initially make prejudiced members of the union see the point. About a year ago, our waiters were forced out of the Gilsay and another hotel in this city in much the same way as was adopted in this latest Colonial hotel affair. Do not make the mistake of attempting to organize a "jim-crow" union, but organize to fight for your rights as a man and citizen.

Gave Bailey Money
At the conclusion of the hearing before the board, Tuesday, Attorney Abner Martin, competent at of It. Zion Congregational church Sunday school), counsel for Boyd, asked his client if he had visited Rev. Bailey after he had learned that the minister had signed a protest letter to the board.
"I want to see Rev. Bailey and asked him if he had anything against my place," Boyd testified. "He said he did not, but that he was opposed to the liquor traffic generally."
"Did you give him any money?" Martin asked.
"Yes, I gave him $10 and told him it was to buy a pair of shoes for himself. Ever since I was two twenty years old I have contributed liberally to the churches and their organizations." Boyd insisted.
"Did you say anything more to him?" the sabbatian I was asked.
Just Expressed Thanks.
"When I left I thanked him, and told him I was glad that he was not fighting me but the liquor traffic generally, was the answer.
Hon. Thomas W. Roberts, (former member of the Old legislature), secretary of the (Cuy, Co. Home Rule Assoc.) Commercial Protective Association (Liberty League), called as a witness by Boyd, testified that Boyd is "running as good a saloon as anybody else and a great deal better than lots of others."
Boyd was forged to pay a $500 bond, Tuesday, in Judge McCannam's municipal court, which he offered for Beatrice Field, arrested May 20 as a suspicious person. She failed to answer her charge and the bond was declared forfeited. Tuesday's Cleveland Daily News.

against him. When asked what he
had done with the money one parsoi.
testified he had "prayed over it and
prayed over it, and finally came down
town and gave it to the Y. M. C. A.
rund."
Rev. Pezavia O'Connell, 2334 E. 85th
street, told the board that he under-
stood Boyd conducted a "bad place
and is a bad man." Attorney Alex-
ander Martin, representing Boyd, ask-
ed him who told him that.
"Why, you told Boyd had a bad
some of the biting
communication being
seen from all sides,
clearly that coming from
the congregations—An-
lake church, Lane Memorial
church, Mt. Haven Baptist
church, and Mt. Haven Baptist
church, respectively. It seems
to be sensible that "ministers
to the people of Jesus Christ" and
ministers to churches, knowing what
they have known when they
have petition, characterizing
them as a bad place,
in the face of it all, would
appear from him and then go
to the witness stand and swear that
they not particularly opposed to
the church and supply opposed to
the licenses of ministers
in general were not being held
up by the commission, "Star's" was
not against his request for a
accreditation of our Ministers' Al-
bany petition (they signed) was
Good Lord. What sort of ministers or the gospel are those three
Anlake, Bayliss and Bailey?
We say the sort of pastors to pre-
vent congregations of our or any
people. We ask this question,
personality, of the same, intelligent,
Christian members of Mt. Haven,
Lane Memorial and Antioch churches,
we they such men as should lead
you and your children in religious
sport.
Then there are O'Connell, Fishback and Clark, the last named without a charge at present, who tho they were not charged with having received money from "Starlight" as in the case of Crable, Baysset and Bailey, whom to give Rev. J. S. Jackson the support, when on the witness stand, he had every reason to expect from signers or that petition. It was Jackson who secured their signatures and it was he who, while on the witness stand, voluntarily told of the "ten gifts, exposing Crable, Baysset and Bailey, each of whom admitted the distress of the signers when the stand. And it was "Starlight" who had the members of the Ministers' Alliance subpoenaed as witness and brought before the Cuyahoga County Liquor License Commissioners so he informed the editor of The Gazette, Nov. 25, 1917.
Look at this most unfortunate and disgraceful affair from any viewpoint and there can be but one conclusion and that is—Crable, Bayliss and Hailey should be summarily dealt with by the congregations they predecease. This for "the good and willful" of Mt. Haven, Lane Memorial and Antioch churches, to say the least. If anyone can find full and complete justification for the part any of the ministers named (Jackson excepted) have played in the affair, he will render them and our people of this community a lasting service.
The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory and show to what desperation at least one of the three, (Hayliss, Bailey and Crable), has been driven:
Attorney Thomas Writes Crable
Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 30, 1917.
Rev. Charles H. Crable
2212 E. 108th Street,
City.
Sir: In the current issue of a local publication appears a lengthy article over your signature concerning my client, Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette. As this article which is extremely libelous, has been given general circulation, I am instructed by Mr. Smith to demand that you make as public a retraction of the same as has been given to the letter referred to, in the next issue of the same publication, or suffer the legal consequences.
Your truly,
HENRY L. THOMAS.

A bombshell was exploded late Friday when three Negro ministers testified that Boyd had given each of

them $10 so they would not testify
against him. When asked what he
had done with the money one parson
testified he had "prayed over it and
prayed over it, and finally came down
own and gave it to the Y. M. C. A.
and."
Rev. Pecavia O'Connell, 2334 E. 85th street, told the board that he understood Boyd conducted a "bad place and is a bad man." Attorney Alexander Martin, representing Boyd, asked him who told him that.
"Why, you told me Boyd had a bad place, Sir. Martin," the minister said—Home Edition of The Cleveland Daily News, Nov. 17, 1917.
"The News" erred in quoting O'Connell as above. It was Rev. J. S. Jackson who "exploded the bombshell and "backed Martin in a corner."
Sir: The foregoing clipping (with proper corrections and amplifications) from the "home edition" of "The Cleveland (Daily) News," (page 3), Nov. 17, 1917, was reproduced in the Gazette of Nov. 24, 1917, and has stood unchallenged and without question until the publication of your letter in the issue of a local publication dated Dec. 1, 1917. It contains the expression you at this late date complain of in spite of the fact that it has stood, as I have said, unquestioned and unchallenged by you or others (in "The Cleveland Daily News") for two weeks—ever since Nov. 17, 1917.
The "Z Club" (Edward Doctor Cafe), to which you refer in your letter does not permit the patronage of "white prostitutes." The County Liquor License Commissioners and police of the city do not permit such patronage in colored places of the kind—saloons, etc.
It is not necessary for me to say that I have not "branded the colored ministry of Cleveland as being disgraceful hypocrites" because they did not "vote for a white man who was proprietor of a saloon," for the very good reason that I did not support or vote for any such candidate, in the recent campaign, not one "whose office was over a saloon," as in the case of Tom Fleming, the candidate you supported.
It also unnecessary for me to add that I have not and do not "spend evenings and leisure hours in and with the patrons of the 'Z club,' preferring the company of white prostitutes" or others "to that of the best colored women of Cleveland," nor do I spend leisure hours in the parlors of the 'Z club' (which has no parlors) and "entertain the other patrons thereof with oaths and other forms of profanity," etc., etc., etc.
Sir, all of the foregoing, and more in your letter, is the vilest slander and known by about every intelligent person in the community to be without the shadow of truth or justification in fact. A resident of Cleveland for a comparatively short time, some person or persons have played upon your credulity and wofully misled you into writing and publishing over your signature a letter that is the vilest slander and criminally libelous, as about every person in this community can tell you.
Therefore, I call upon you to up publicity and conspicuously retract the same in the same publication by December 10, 1917, or suffer the legal consequences of a failure to do so. I have instructed my attorney to write you to this effect; also the owner and printer of the paper, both of whom will also be made parties to a suit for libel, in addition to criminal action for the vile slander you have given expression to. This, immediately following Dec. 10, 1917, should you fail to make full, complete and satisfactory retraction as demanded in this communication.
In conclusion permit me to inform you that the Edward Doctor Dining room, where I frequently dine, in an effort to patronize our people in business, and the "Z Club" as you term the Edward Doctor Cafe, are not one and the same, and that the latter is not the place you stigmatize it as being by a good deal. Had you assumed this same position when on the witness stand before the Liquor License Commissioners of this county, recently, and had not accepted ten dollars from "Starlight," a saloon-keeper, as you admitted when on the witness stand, and had stood up for the petition against his saloon you signed at Rev. J. S. Jackson's request, your criticisms, (not slander and libel) of the Edward Doctor Cafe or any saloon, or person, might impress the people of this city favorably.

Rev. J. S. Jackson disappointed those in attendance at St. John's, Sunday, by failing to preach his promised sermon on "The Saloon Question." Many expected him to roast those members of the Ministers' Alliance who practically deserted his petition when on the witness stand before the Georgia County Liquor License Commission on 16/17. Many also expected him to thank "The Old Reliable" Gazette for its support of him throughout this affair.

OLFACTORY SENSE OF BEES HIGHLY DEVELOPED
Dr. N. E. Mcindoo Tells of Experi mental Work Showing Likes and Dislikes.
In a pamphlet recently issued by the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. N.E. McIndo of the Bureau of Entomology states that the sense of smell in honey bees is highly developed, and that it also serves as a sense of taste. In some instances the bees seemed to distinguish a marked difference in the taste between certain mixtures which the scientist himself could scarcely perceive.
Until recently but little experimental work has been performed to determine whether insects have a true sense of taste or gustatory sense, as it is termed in science, but the present author has endeavored to show that bees have likes and dislikes in regard to foods, and has made a careful study of the structure of the sense organs on the mouth-part of the honey bee. In his experiments he used something like 5,500 bees, mostly adults, all of which were kept in their normal state.
Even in the higher forms of life it is difficult to distinguish the sense of taste from that of smell, and in his experiments Dr. McIndoo has discovered that in the bee these two senses cannot be separated at all. In fact, the sense of taste proves to be merely one phase of the olfactory sense, or sense of smell.
Dr. McIndoo began by feeding the bees several substances from which five classes were chosen to study the ects; repellant, sweet, bitter, sour and salty substances, the four latter being representative of the attributes of human taste.
The experiments show that bees like honey best of all foods, and that they are able to distinguish the differences between various kinds of honey; that they have likes and dislikes, and that they can distinguish in foods differences not perceptible to the writer. Oil of peppermint, which is agreeable to man, is distasteful to bees, while on the contrary another substance which the experimenter did not like seemed to please the bees.
It was also discovered that the bees must first eat more or less of certain foods before they can distinguish between them, indicating that they have a true gustatory sense unless this discrimination is made possible by means of the olfactory sense.
During his experiments he also investigated the tactile sense, or the sense of touch of the honey bee, and believes that with the organs for that purpose the bee is enabled to mold in uniform thickness the wall of all its cells. He also investigated the manner in which bees eat liquid foods by capillary attraction and by a pumping force which they possess. Solid substances, which they cannot eat at once, are dissolved by the application of saliva. He discovered that many solid substances, which are not previously smelled by the bees, release odors through the physical or cb cal changes brought about when they are dissolved by saliva.
Dr. McIndoo and the few other scientists who have fed insects foods containing undesirable substances have observed that they refuse such foods after eating more or less of them. From this observation the other authors have concluded that insects can taste, although they have not ascertained whether they possess sense organs anatomically adapted for tasting, nor have they considered the role played by the sense of smell in these responses.
The author's experiences during four years convince him that the olfactory sense of the bee is much keener than that of man. Finally, he believes that their olfactory sense is highly developed, and that it serves them as a sense of smell and taste combined.
WHY THE CAT LANDS
ON ITS FEET IN FALL
Tail Plays an Important Part When Animals Attack Kind Leap and Climb
An ingenious model was constructed some time ago why a cat in falling always alights on its feet. The imitation cat consists of a cardboard cylinder, with four rods stuck in it for legs, and a tail devised on similar principles, and the object is to show that a cat's faculty of falling on its feet depends on the rotation of its fall.
Some interesting information on this problem is given by the superintendent/of a zoological garden, who has made several experiments.
The faculty of always falling on the feet is one which is especially developed, he claims, by climbing and leaping animals, in which category are included all the cat tribe, monkeys, squirrels and rats. The instinct is born in them and the act of twisting is performed without any conscious effort on the part of the animal.
The opinion is that "it tail plays an important part in the turning process. "All tree inhabiting monkeys have long tails," says this authority, "and there is not the slightest doubt that the tail is of the greatest possule advantage to all climbers in helping them to turn. It also acts as a good balancer."
Somewhat Mixed.
The childless parson sought to cheer the parent of an overflowing household.
"My man you must learn to be contented," he said. "Mouths are never sent without bread to fill them."
"Maybe you are right," said the parishioner, "but the mouths are all sent to our house and the bread."
Grave Danger. Indeed.
A judge was questioning an Irishman. "He caught you by the throat and choked you, did he?" asked the judge. "He did, yer worship," said Pat. "He squeezed me throat till I thought he would be making clder of me Adam's apple, sure!"

FOOD SELECTED AS IT PASSES BY
FARM SCHOOL HEAD INVENTS
LUNCH TURNTABLE
Device is Said to "Out-Automat" the "Automat" and to Put Cafeteria in the Snail Class.
Food a la turntable — everything from soup, "piping hot," to apple pie—will be presented to patrons of the "cafetourner" without requiring them to move a step. As is the "automat" to the cafeteria, so is the cafetourner to be to the automat. D. D. Mayne, principal of the school of agriculture, St. Anthony Park, Minn., says so, and he is the inventor of the cafetourner. As director of the dining hall at university farm for many years, where about 700 persons are fed three times a day, Mr. Mayne has studied the feeding problem from the practical and the scientific viewpoint. The cafetourner is the result—the "restaurant moving about."
It is designed to provide food automatically and instantly, allow inspection before purchase, keep hot food hot, and cold food cold; furnish the food in sanitary sealed boxes and eliminate all waiters. The same machine also will use taken dishes back to the kitchen for washing.
The cafetourner, according to its inventor, will obviate the deadly attack of the cafetieria sneeze. It will also thwart the chronic open-counter patron who hesitates over his choice of rolls, puts back what his fingers had first seized and takes hard crusts instead of cinnambs.
"Just step into the cafetourner," says its inventor, who expecting his patent soon. "At the door you receive a sticky of metal slugs of various sizes, representing values of from 1 cent to 25 cents. The total is $1. Take your seat at a table. There pass slowly before you three rows of steel boxes with plate glass fronts so that you can see the food attractively prepared and garnished on the inside.
"When you see what you want, put in a slug of proper denomination. The glass door opens, you remove the dish. You help yourself in like manner with other prepared dishes, as fancy and desire tate."
"The upper row of boxes passes thru steam coils at frequent intervals so that the food is kept hot. The lower row of boxes likewise passes thru refrigerating coils and their contents are kept cold. In the row of boxes between these are placed the foods that need be neither cold nor hot.
"One may commence eating as soon as he is seated at the table and can open one of the food boxes. No time is wasted, service is instantaneous. During the rush hours thousands may be served in a short time and in very small space. One may also eat all that he wishes. In fact, the sight of food passing before the eyes and convenient to hand will keep up the appetite, and one will eat more and digest what is eaten better.
"The steel boxes are closed against all contamination. To make certain that the boxes are thoroly clean, an inside box is provided so that when the food is removed and the empty receptacle returns to the kitchen the inside box is pulled out and placed in the sterilizer, and a 'new inside' with food is inserted.
"Every form of table may be provided. P trons will sit at small tables accommodating two, or at long tables. Some patrons prefer to eat standing. That method is provided along the side of the room.
"Others wish a private dining-room. That is also a part of the system. The patron goes with his party of two to six persons, puts a quarter in the slot at the door—the door opens and there is entire privacy. The host here may select from the passing boxes the food he wishes to serve his guests, and be undisturbed during the entire meal. No waiters—no checks—no tips.
"When the patron passes out of the restaurant he pays for the amount of slugs that he does not return."
FINDS CHILD PLAGUE REMEDY?
Doctor Recommends Sait Water as a Preventive.
Announcement that Dr. Edward Taylor, professor of tropical medicine at the University of Vermont, had made an important discovery as to the manner in which infantile paralysis is spread, was made by Dr. Charles S. Caverley, president of the State Board of Health.
"Dr. Taylor has apparently shown" Dr. Caverley said, "that diseased noses and throats allow the passage of the virus into the central nervous system, while normal noses and throats seem to neutralize this poison.
"The simple process of cleaning the nose and throat with warm water in which table salt has been dissolved is perhaps as good a preventive as we have."
SHE STILL EATS HAM AND EGGS
Woman, 105, Says This Diet Gives
Her Good Health.
Mrs. Mary Karp of Chicago is 105
years old, and a few days ago she ate
hearty of a birthday dinner she help-
ed cook. She also spent the day help-
ing her daughter with the housework
as usual.
"I don't eat pie or cake and believe
my good health has been due to eat-
ing ham and eggs," she said.
JENA OFFERS CONTRASTS
Intellectually Progressive, But Keeps Old Customs.
Jena is a town of comfortable contrasts, intellectually progressive, she is physically most conservative. The leaders of thought fling the most advanced ideas in social philosophy back and forth over their dinner tables, but (those tables are laden with large meals cooked after the exact fashion that they have been cooked in German Bohemia for the last 200 years. The good professor will follow any intellectual concept that convinces his profoundly logical mind, but he will stick to his grandfather's style of pie in the face of all opposition and indigestion. Someone might trace an interesting and instructive relationship between German pie and German pessimism.
The contrast between old manner and new thought run all through Jena. Here is one of the most famous of European universities, here are philosophers and metaphysicians of the most daring and radical, and all about them is an old pictureque city whose comfortable burgher class is quite untouched by all the intellectual fireworks that coruscate from the university grounds. Jena has all the earmarks of a German university town—the little knots of gay capped students, the creeper covered buildings, the beer cellars, the gardens, the occasional dignified and black-clad faculty member pacing austerely down the intimate old street, respectfully saluted on every hand. All this student life is overlaid on a solid and picture-esque background of town life, of comfortable solid houses, of blue-eyed middle class maidens, of cool streets and flowery gardens.
Jena is elaborately fond of gardens. They confront you on every hand, carefully tended and lushy flourishing. They bloom with a lavishness that is perhaps a product of the intellectual atmosphere. Jena is famous for her gardens, her glass factories, her beer and her great men. Any one of these industries carried to the point that they carry it in Jena, would insure the fame of an ordinary town.

FEMALE OSTRICH BOSS OF HOUSE
MALE IN SOUTH AMERICA
HATCHES EGGS SHE LAYS
A jungle adventurer, lean, loosely knit, with eyes the color of wood smoke, face ineradically browned by tropic sun and with a remarkably pleasant smile, sat at a big mahogany table in the director's office of the American Museum of Natural History at New York, N. Y., rattling off stories of South American exploration that might be hard for conservative minds to accept without photographs to back them up. But for every tall tale there were photographs.
The jungle traveler was George K. Cherrie, friend and fellow explorer of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who accompanied the colonel down the perilous River of Doubt (it is the Rio Roosevelt now), and who has just returned from bird and animal hunting in the Paraguayan and Brazilian swamps.
Just back with 3,000 bird skins and 400 animal skins for the museum, including many new and interesting specimens of the strange fauna of the southern continent and with 1,500 photographs of queer birds, Mr. Cherrie offered rapid word pictures of his adventures.
He told of South American male ostrich, a truly home loving gentleman, who frivolous at ostrich cabarets and tango parties; of newly discovered woodpeckers with bills curved like a sickle; of parrot apartment houses, built on the community plan, with elevators for each floor; of giant anteaters that climb trees, and of other freaks and wonders of the dark, damp jungles.
And first of all Mr. Cherrie proceeded to demolish one or two immemorally held notions of tropic bird and reptile life. He says it is quite a mistake to believe that tropic birds are usually brilliantly colored or that venomous snakes are the nuisance and danger in the tropics that they are even in this country.
The explorer's blue eyes twinkled as he offered with some hesitancy the tale of the home loving heppecked ostrich.
"One of the most interesting parts of my quest in the swamps of Paraguay, 100 miles in the interior of the little known country, was the study of the South American ostrich," said Mr. Cherrie. "By working very carefully, creeping forward on my stomach like a snake I was able to get some fine photographs of the ostriches. I discovered that the male bird attends to the incubation of the eggs, while the female occupies herself in flirting and in other rather undomestic frivolities.
"These ostriches, which are much smaller than the South African bird—about half the size—have community nests in which the females deposit the eggs and consider thereafter that they have done enough for the family. When the eggs are laid Papa Ostrich sits upon them, hatches them and then when the chicks peck to the open air, takes care of the family." The jungle man bethought: himself of the community parrots living all so cheerfully in their big apartment houses. And he reached for photographs before he told the story.
"Nothing was more interesting," he said. "These parrots build immense nests in the tops of trees, nests made to accommodate 200 birds or more. The entrance to the community nest is from below by tubes of thorny twigs most cunningly devised and constructed. In fact the engineering genius displayed by the community parrots is astonishing. The entrance tubes lead to various parts of the big nest house and might be said to be elevator service for various groups. The nests are roofed slantingly so as to throw off rain."
"Oh, yes," he added, I found many new specimens of the woodpecker family, including the wood hewer, a powerfully billed insect devourer which fairly rips the back to tatters when his hunger stirs him. One of the varieties has a bill four and one half inches long which is in the shape of a half circle or of a sickle blade.
Mr. Cherrie paused.
"Oh, don't stop," his visitors chorus ed.
"Well, in that case," resumed the explorer, "I might tell you about the great anteater of South America that I caught in the act of climbing a tree. So far as I know science was unaware that the ant bear could shin up a tree, figuring that he stuck to the ground in his hunt for choice morsels of ant flesh—but I caught him climbing and I have photographs to prove it."
HOLY WATER IN INDIAN GRAVE
Vessel Buried 200 Years Ago With Brave Is Unearthed.
A vessel of holy water buried with a Seneca brave more than 200 years ago, has been unearthed in an old Indian cemetery near Rochester, N. Y., and taken to the State museum at Albany. The water is in a hermetically sealed and rusty metal container, oval in shape and not quite a third of an inch in thickness. Tiny holes were punched in the top of the container and the contents, yellow with rust, oozed out. The container was hastily resealed.
