The university recently received $20,000 from the Avery estate of Pittsburgh The endowment purposes. Mrs. Nannetta Lowe and Mrs. Annie West of Springfield, Mass., won a civil rights suit against S. S. Kriegso and 10 cent store for a refusal to serve them, and were awarded $25 damages. Our regiments, the Eighth Illinois and Fifteenth N. N. have been constituted and are now known as the 18th brigade. Authorities at Washington have always held (o the way that Negro officers were unable to control their men, but this Houston affair has set that contention beyond all dispute. If either Col. Chas. Young, Col. Denison, or Col. Johnson, all Afro-Americans, had been in command of the 24th U. S. Infantry at Houston, that August, no such trouble would have occurred—Chicago (Ill.) idea. Alexander King, for more than twelve years assistant superintendent of Wall Street Station, New York, has been ousted and is now a clock. It is thought that Postmaster General Burleson's attitude on the Negro question has had something to do with Mr. King's removal. That is clearly the policy of the southern democratic Wilson administration. Miss Dorothy Hill, age 19, a member of the race, was the first of ten women appointed as mail carriers in Chicago recently because of the scarcity of men for that work. Of all organizations of the army as large as a regiment, the Tenth U. S. Cavalry stands pre-eminent in its per capita subcription to the second Liberty loan" writes Col. DoR. C. Cabell, of that regiment. "With an aggregate of 1,329 officers and men, the Tenth Cavalry subscribed for over $200,000 of the bonds, more than $151 per man. It is a fact that this amount would have been materially increased had I not ordered that no man be allowed to pledge his pity to an extent that would not leave him with $10 on pay day. Such patriotism from this regiment of Colored men is worthy of publication."—Army and Navy Journal. The Boston branch of the N. E. R. league asks all of our churches to set Dec. 23 for funeral services, and to hold "In Memoriam" silent barricade on Jan. 1, 1988, and to wear blue mourning badges for 30 days for "the murders to grace prejudice" hanged at Ft. Sam Houston Tex. last week. IT COST NEARLY $25,000 To Raise and Then Disband the Nint! Ohio Regiment, Some Months Ago Columbus, O.—Only $40,190 of the quarter million war emergency appropriation made to Gov. Cox by the legislature last winter remained unspent on Nov. 30, according to report of State Examiner, John A. Bliss file with State Auditor Donahue, Saturday. The total already spent was $209,809.92. The adjutant general's office is charged with having spent, also, $24,488 to recruit the Ninth battalion to a regiment. This money was the same as wasted, as the war department later ordered the regiment disbanded, preserving only the original Ninth battalion, which left Montgomery, Ala., last week. According to Adjutant General Wood, the war department promised to bear all the expense of recruiting these troops, consequently the federal government is expected to refund the amount spent by the state. Col. Charles Young was at the head of the "mecorite" Ninth. COMPREHENSIVE PRESS Chicago, Ill., Dec. 10.—Hon. Jas. L. Curtis, late Minister to Liberia, was buried from Oqg Bebet A. M. E. church, Tuesday of last week. A great number of prominent race men and women were present. The Flag Goes By," a patriotic March Song. That Leads Them All The editor of The Gazette has just received a copy of this view and exceptionally fine musical production, the work of Richard Berry Lynch, son of our long-time and highly esteemed friends, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Lynch of Youngstown, O. It has the "smp" and "go," is pretty and "tuneful," requisite, absolutely necessary to make such a production "take" and sell, especially in these stirring times of many somewhat similar musical productions but lacking these essentials as a rule. Everybody, among our people, who has ever visited Youngstown for any length of time, even for but a few days, in the last twenty five years, has not "Dick" Lynch, the author's father, an enrolling clock of the Ohio Senate, years ago, and generally acknowledged to be one of the very best to ever fill that important position. This is possibly the most popular and best known member of the race Youngstown has claimed in a quarter of a century: Genial, clever, capable in an exceptional degree and an "all around good fellow," and a gentleman, too, all the time. Mrs. Mamie Berry Lynch, since a girl an exceptionally fine pianist and musician, is a woman of intelligence whom one has only to meet once, to be thoroughly impressed most favorably and to be numbered among her hosts of warm admirers. It will require no stretch of imagination for any one who reads this to understand the kind of parents Richard Berry Lynch, the author of "Hits Off! The Flag Goes By!" has and why the young man has been able to produce a composition that surpasses anything of the kind to come to our notice during the past few years of World War and the greatly increased patriotism it has aroused within the year in this country. Kaiser's Music Store, The Arcade, Cleveland, O., has it on sale and The Gazette advises every one of its readers to purchase at least one copy while they can. You will certainly be more than pleased with the sterling patriotic march-song. Price, fifty cents. FROM CAMP SHERMAN Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O. Editor of Gazette, Dear Sir; I thought would write you a few lines to keep in touch with the boys here in camp. The cold we ther-does not can much to them as there is plenty of heat in all of the departments and only one hour "hijes" a day, of the boys are in the hospital, and some are a little dissatisfied with their food and clothing but some of them would "kick" if they were playing foot-ball. On the whole they are pretty well cared for. Later: Two thousand of our "secrets" here are under quarantine for small-box. About a half dozen cases have been reported.

Crable and Ortutes, either white or black, and I demand A. Forte were called, Monday not believe he does, as a man of his afternoon, in Squire Brenner's court prominence could ill afford to so assail in the Superior building, their attor- society, and I venture to say, that ifney asked for a "continuance," until he is ever seen in the company of Jun. 21, 1918. This was his right (to white people, either men or women, ask for a continuance), and it was they are his equals in every respect granted by Squire Brenner after Hen. and the equals of all other colored L. Thomas, Esq. attorney for the people either in Ohio or elsewhere, editor of The Gazette, had agreed to morally or otherwise. When the criminal libel cases against Charles K. Crable and Ormond A. Forte were called, Monday afternoon, in Squire Brenner's court in the Superior building, their attorney asked for a "continuance," until Jan. 21, 1918. This was his right (to ask for a continuance), and it was granted by Squire Brenner after Henry L. Thomas, Esq, attorney for the editor of The Gazette, had agreed to it. The sentiment of the community frankly outspoken, condemns, and in no uncertain tones the writing, and publication of the vicious, malicious and unwarranted Crable attack, even Crable and Forte expressing themselves as being "sorry for it" to Attorney Thomas in the hearing and presence of Dr. J. K. Nickens, Monday afternoon, immediately on leaving the court rooms. The clearly evident intent to injure, and the great harm and injury done the editor of The Gazette by the misbeant diatribe cannot be wiped out now by expressions of sorrow over its writing and publication. Opportunity for this was promptly given them on Nov. 30, 1917. They failed to accept it. Therefore, since the cases have been started it is now a matter to be adjudicated in the courts and it is with them Crable and Forte must deal from now until the punishment the law of the state decrees for such vile offenses is finally meted out to them. Then will come the promised civil suits for damages, not less than ten thousand dollars in each case. Meantime, our people of this community are patiently waiting to see that action the officers and other members of Antioch Baptist church, Lano Memorial C. M. E. church and Mt Haven Baptist church are going to take in the cases of their pastors (Bailey, Bayliss and Crable), who merely admitted on the witness stand before the Cuyahoga County Liquor License Commissioners, Nov. 16, 1917, that they had accepted ten dollars each from "Starlight" Boyd, a saloon-keeper, after signing a protest and petition to said commissioners asking that his license be refused (not renewed). At this writing "Star's" place is still closed, although it has been currently rumored, repeatedly, during the past two weeks that he was to re-open in "a few days." Members of Lane Memorial - C. M. E. church formulated charges which they said, last week, were to be filed against Bayliss, their pastor, at a church conference which was to be held, the first of this week. His removal was also to be asked, they said. Officials of Mt. Haven church also told The Gazette, last week, that their pastor's case was to be considered in a church meeting. What action the members of Antioch have taken or are to take, The Gazette has not learned, at this writing. Persistent to the foregoing is the following communication from one of the most successful and best known Afro-American attorneys in this section of the country—Francis H. Warren Esq., former editor and proprietor of the Detroit Informer: AS TO CRABLE AND FORTE Ormond A. Forte, 412. Superior Building. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: I note a communication in your issue of Dec. 15, signed by "Rev. Chas. H. Crabble," which appears to be a paid advertisement, but nevertheless constitutes a gross label on the tract and one of its most prominent members. Even if the acts contained in the article were true what would it profit our race to parade that fact before a white public already prejudiced to the highest pitch against the association of black men with white women. When this same charge was brought against Booker T. Washington by the Boston Guardian I pointed out to it the greatness of the danger to all of our race, even if it succeeded in fastening up n Washington the vile charges made, for if the white man once gets it into his head that black men want only association with white women, life will hardly be worth living in the United States for Negroes, and the less you parade the feature against a brother of the race the better it will be for all concern! As for the Honorable Harry C. Smith, who is father of some of the laws that protect our race in the state of Ohio, and several times a member of the Ohio legislature, I have known him more or less intimately for more than thirty-five years; have visited with him in Cleveland and he has visited my home, and while he does not object to honorable marriage between white and black people, I have never SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS lay, Cases Francis H. Warren ble's Vicious and Mali- s Attack ion of It. He Recalls the . Washington episode. known him to associate with prosti- tutes, either white or black, and I do not believe he does, as a man of his prominence could ill afford to so as- sociate, and I venture to say, that if he is ever seen in the company of white people, either men or women, they are his equals in every respect and the equals of all other colored people either, in Ohio or elsewhere, to morally or otherwise. Then what can be said in favor of ministers of the gospel who accept contributions from such sources as Rev. Crabble confesses he accepted them. In Detroit ministers who would accept such contributions would not last here over night, if it were known by their congregations. One of our large churches, the Second Baptist, had a minister some years ago who accepted contributions from a white house of prostitution which occupied the building next door. I understand he got $50 as a Christmas present every year. The result was he never complained about the presence of the house of prostitution and that was undoubtedly the reason the present was forthcoming. But when our present pastor of the Second Baptist church took charge, seven or eight years ago, together with the trustees he began to seek ways and means of removing this pest hole from the doors of his church. First he thought of moving the church, but in a conversation with the writer he found he could move the house of prostitution and the writer was employed by him for that purpose. My retainer for filling bills against the houses of prostitution, two in number, was $100. The proprietor of the largest of the two houses involved offered $5,000 if I would drop the charges and permit the houses to operate, and I know that they offered Rev. Bradby the usual present to begin with, and later a sum probably equal to what they offered me. But we both insisted upon the removal of the prostitutes and they went. Perhaps you need a few Bradhys in Cleveland, if you want to get rid of the abominable conditions I found in the immediate vicinity of Rev. Bailey's church. I do not know so much about the others mentioned in the articles I have read. Vice is like 'weeds'—it grows and thrives without special cultivation. While culture, morality and right living need the encouragement of not only Christian leaders but also of lay-leaders as well. And instead of trying to be mimic the character of Hon. Harry C; Smith, it seems as though the proper thing for a minister to do, who has made the mistake of accepting contributions from such a source, for which there is and can be no excuse, is to turn in and assist any layman who is brave enough to fight the sources of evil. What manner of Christian is Rev. Crable, anyway? Your truly, FRANCIS H. WARREN.

Editor Gazette Cleveland, Ohio. My Dear Sir: To me it is a source of very great pleasure and satisfaction to make note of the splendid support you have been good enough to accord me in connection with the recent appointment as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. I cannot tell you how much I value and appreciate the wholesouled support given by your valued newspaper and by the members of the Negro press generally. All that I can say is that I shall seek to be of the greatest possible service to Secretary Baker, to the Negro people, and to our country. May I not count upon you for frequent counsel and suggestions? I am serving merely in a representative capacity and I want you and all other loyal and patriotic Americans to know that I earnestly desire your closest possible co-operation.

This same sane independency in al! mat- ters of importince has always made it easy and proper for-us to recog nize, and publicly too, the race's real friends of other races and parties and, as far as we were able to do so, to give them the credit they were clearly entitled to at the hands of ou: people. Several years ago, we were a little surprised to learn that a democrati¢ attorney general of Ohio, without the “flourish of a single trumpet,” had appointed a member of the race a special assistant in his office—a po- sition filled for the first time by an Afro-American. Latbr on, when ‘the alter got into serious trouble, the attorney general “stood by” him unti! he had proven his innocence of the ‘charges preferred against him. ‘The aszinaption of a different attitude at ‘that time on the part of the attorhey ‘general Would in all probability have ‘caused the downfell of a promising | young attorney of the race, a resident of Columbus at the timé tut now a ‘lieutenant or captain in the new Na- [tional Army by grace of the Officers’ ‘Training School, conducted a few months ago at Ft, Dodge, Des Moines, Towa.

When the probab ility of securing even this concession seemed least and the outlook darkest, into the fight was drawn this same democratic friend and former Ohic attorney general, who entered with an enthusiasm, characteristic of hi: and our rice when thoroughly. inter ested and aroused; prompily turned the tide in our favor with an eloquent |appealand thoro discussion of the Megal technicalities involved in the | Bundy extradition case that “won the day?’ and capped it all with a refusal to take a cent for his extraordinary and invaluable services, again shawing in a quiet but forceful way real, prac- tical friendship for the race that must not be forgotten. ‘The Bundy case is not and never has been anything else but a race fight—never merely a per- sonal one, and our democratic friend was quick to see this and give us more evidence of his earnest desire to do all in his power to help a strug- gling people, unfairly handicapped in hundreds of ways by the dominant race of this country. Recently he delivered an address to our people of Columbus, saying among other things: “T hope to see the day whien your people will be represented ‘on the faculty of the Ohio State Uni- versity,” and what is more, this man really meant what he said. Continu- ing he also said: | “The men south of the Ohio (riv- er) who would attempt to pass laws contradictory to the constitution think they have @ higher right than their fellow-men. It is a belief in that sort of thing that made the kai- ser bring on the present world con- flict.” 3 Since the days of the “Ku Klux Klan” and the “Red Shirt Briga‘tes,” the south has not only attempted to ‘pass laws contradictory to the consti- tution but in effect has succeeded.

Instead of treating effects of the diseases she treats the causes, eliminating the underlying healthy condition that can be maintained by using her Hair Tonic and Invigorator, according to her directions. The hair Tonic and Invigorator is guaranteed to stop the falling out of the hair and to make the hair hairy. It has been successfully used by many ever since 1900 and with perfect satisfaction. This Tonic is highly recommended by many elderly people, where, when they are restrained, many people get diseased scalps by using widely advertised hair tonics prepared by unscrupulous persons who have been using them. On the other hand, MADAME JONES' HAIR TONIC and INVIGORATOR is absolutely harmless and will do all that is required. Madame C. H. Jones' Hair Tonic and Invigorator promotes the growth of the hair, prevents and cures baldness, removes dandruff, cures scalp diseases, improves hair color and prevents the color of the hair by supplying it with the natural elements and necessary nourishment.

Congratulations, Dr. and Mrs. Demby, long-time friends. Rev. J. L. Thompson, P. E., held quarterly meeting, Sunday, at Lane Memorial C. M. E. church. His attention was called to the testimony of its pastor (Bayliss) before the Cuyahoga County Liquor License Commission, on Nov. 16, 1917, in which he admitted having accepted ten dollars from a saloon-keeper after having signed a petition and protest to the commission against the renewal of the saloon-keeper's license. In the report submitted to the P. E. and the church, it appears that $565 was raised for the church building fund in 1916 and banked. In 1917, $192 was raised. Clubs now have $86 for the fund. Officers of the church had borrowed $300 from the bank securing this loan with the deposit, and using $100 of it to pay on pastor's salary; the remainder of the $300 being used for other purposes. For years our progressive people of Cleveland have longed for nice quarters, which to hold social gathings of a public nature would be a pleasure. Through the efforts of one of our young men Charles E. Barksdale Our young men, Charles L. Burns, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 22, 1911 ette MILLER'S one of the best places in the city has been leased and is open to our people. Mr. Barksdale is conducting a dancing school in his new place, at 10650 Eacilid Aye., every Thursday evening. The high moral tone of this school merits the patronage of our race who enjoy clean dancing and good association. Mr. Barksdale teaches one of the new dances every Thursday evening and also demonstrates new positions and styles of dancing. The ball room may be rented for private parties and private lessons may be arranged for by special appointment. Remember that on New Year's night the "Jazz" will be taught.—Adv. A Welfare association was organized, last week Friday, at a meeting at the City Club, held with officers and members of the Cleveland Welfare Federation. Its purpose is to work for improved conditions and to advance our social and educational conditions. These problems have been presented by the large increase in our population in the last two years. The association is to be incorporated. Welcome T. Blue is president of the trustees. H. L. Geddis of the Cleveland Welfare Federation staff is treasurer. Commons New York. Afro-American welfare worker. Secretary beginning Jan. 1, Paul L. Leiss, James D. Williamson, Sherman C. Kingsley and Allen T. Burns are on the list of assisting officers of the association. Within the year, several organizations have been started, ostensibly with the same object in view. We hope this one will accomplish material results and soon. A female member of the Salvation Army came into The Gazette office, Tuesday, soliciting Christmas funds for that organization. We asked her what about the color-line in that organization's "hotel" in E, 9th St., and when she began trying to justify it we asked her also if there was any Christianity in that sort of misreatment and what about its violation of "the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" principle that Christians should recognize above all others. She placed the blame for the insulting and harmful discrimination on the officers of the Army in charge of the "hotel" and again undertook to justify it in the usual way but of course, failed, and dismally, too. There was no contribution for her, she was told in a way that we trust impressed her properly and hone will be productive of some good along a Christian line. Since the fight (?) for the appointment of Attorney Roy Cheeks as a police prosecutor, early last year, and Mayor Davis' refusal, at the time, to even see Rev. Elam A. White, then pastor of M.C. E. church, and his delegation of members of the race who wanted to talk with him about the appointment of Cheeks, the place has been vacant several times, Marco, Irvine, Kohen and now Beckerman (one Italian, an American and two Jews) filling it, the last named having been appointed to the position but a few days ago. Why is it that no Afro-American was appointed to fill the place (or any other of any consequence, for that matter), and why is it that the Afro-American member of the committee have not made any effort to get it during the past two years? These two questions are pertinent and ought to be frequently asked. Meantime, do not forget how the Maschke-Davis faction "double-crossed" Alexander H. Martin, E. martin, and the people in the recent campaign. These things should not be forgotten for a single moment. A dispute over a dice game sent one day to Charity hospital, early last week Thursday, and another to the E. 1950 Central Ave., and Thomas the participants. Harris is held on a charge of murder was placed against - Robert Saunders, 2492 E. 37th St., following the death of James Washington at early last week Thursday. Police say Saunders shot Washington, a boarder at his home, during a quarrel, last week Tuesday. Heavy sentences were dealt out to gun-towers, last Saturday, Collins, 2418 E. 49th St., was finished 550 and costs for carrying a revolver concealed in her blouse. Mrs. Rebecca Shinnich, 1911 Scoville Ave., was in Charity hospital, Monday, with scalp wounds suffered when attacked by a Negro in the areaway beside her home, earlier in the day. The man, armed with a club, attempted to snatch her purse and struck her several times to silence her screams. These things, especially acts like the last one mentioned, are what will cause a wild mob to surge up Central Ave., some of these days and sooner than we expect, too. BEST FOR THE BLOOD — Puro Herbs.

A fellow who tries to do business without advertising is like the fellow who throws his sweetheart a silent kiss in the dark; he knows what he is doing—but nobody else does.—William Jennings Bryan. Whenever that malicious lie—that the editor of The Gazette, received 5500, or any other sum, from a demagogue to defeat a Republican candidate or office at the recent election, or any other—is repeated in your presence, frankly tell the person "hawking" the lie that they are slandering the editor and had better not let the act get to him or there will be some more arrests and punishment in the courts. Please repeat the foregoing PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes eagards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition ret would serve the law, and the justice would be least disputes. The few who do must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. HERE'S TIP HOW TO DRESS BABY EVERYTHING EXPLAINED FROM KIND OF GARMENTS TO USE OF SAFETY PINS. Wrap Him Up Like Loaf of Bread, One Valuable Hint. It very often happens that the father is called upon to dress the baby. Sometimes he responds. In such cases it is as well to know the ground plan of "the little stranger" and the combinations whereby the various articles of clothing are made to adhere. In the first place, there is the basic upper garment, or "band." This is slipped on over the head like a shirt. In order to accomplish this hold the child between the knees (your knees), wad the band up so that the hole for the neck is on top. Then quickly slip it over the baby's head. You will then find that it is the arm-hole through which the head has been inserted which is obviously wrong. Take it off and try it again. This time it will be the other arm-hole that is the lucky aperture. This leaves only one other chance, and you can easily make it three. Inserting the arms in the arm-holes is more difficult than inserting the head in the arm-holes, but if you can do it without causing the baby to choke you may count yourself lucky. Then pull the band down singly in front and back and attach it to—well, if you started from scratch there isn't anything to attach it to yet. This leads us to the basic undergarment. You will find these in a pile on top of the baby's basket. Select one, and, taking it by the upper corners with the thumbs and four fingers, fold it into the approximate shape of a triangle. This will not look right. In fact, it will not be right. The next thing to do is to unfold it, and refold it into the approximate shape of a paper soldier's hat. This will look even worse. You may then fold it into any shape that strikes your fancy. They will all be wrong. Then take the cloth and spread it out on the bed. Pull the baby from the laundry hamper into which he has fallen in the moment and lay him on the cloth, about in the middle. Wrap him up in it like a leaf of bread. When all the cloth has been used up and the ends tacked in look for the safety pins. You will see them on the table across the room. Insert them at random, pinning the child to the bedspread. This will hold him safe until you can get his mother. NOSE IS SAFEGUARD TO ESCAPE DISEASE Offensive Odors Serve as Warning That Danger Lurks Near. Even a bad odor has its uses. Scientists say that the offensive smell which comes from decaying and disease-breeding matter is in reality one of nature's measures of preparedness and of prevention. Offensive odors indirectly prevent the spread of epidemics by calling attention to the breeding place of the disease. They give warning that something is wrong, and they persist in this warning by becoming more and more offensive until the wrong is righted. The odor does not convey the germ or communicate the disease, because in most cases direct contact is necessary to do this, or the infection is communicated by some substance taken into, or brought in contact with the body. But it does tell where the disease exists or is likely to exist. It also gives warning of tainted or unfit food, as the nose is attended by nature to be one of man's chief allies in his fight for health. The nose is not placed above the mouth by accident. It was designed is primitive man as a guidepost for the stomach, and it still a good guide. SAYS SHARK MEAT IS IDELICIOUS Expert Asserts Prejudice Alone Prevents Use as Food. The merits of sharks as food are set forth in a report to the American Museum of Natural History by John T. Nichols, who has just returned from a study of the big fish in Florida waters. His conclusions are that some varieties furnish fillets as delicious as swordfish steak. He declared the reason they are not favored as food fishseems to be due entirely to prejudice. Mr. Nichols said he had found during his investigations that there were fewer large sharks in Florida waters than for many years. CASTOR OIL PROTECTS EYES Every automobile driver has experienced the discomfort of dust in the eyes, and also from the effects of cold winds. A suggestion has been made that these discomforts may be greatly alleviated by applying castor oil along the eyelashes. This, it is claimed, will catch most of the dust before it can enter the eye, and also it protects the eyes from the chilling effects of the wind. "An Eye for an Eye." "Lex taliison" means "the law of retaliation. It provided that at the punishment should be the same in kind as the crime. Thus we have the expressions, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," "Whoos should dethn man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Many other expressions I like these are found in the Bible and elsewhere. PILES Don't attempt to an operation for this reason. You have tried Dr. Brown's medicine.
