IN WICOM IN FERGUM Wonder of Medical Science Performed in California Hospital—Patient Rattles. New Alliscoverles in medical science have been made with such frequency in recent years that one must be very much out of the ordinary to excite wonder. A modern wonder, however, was consumed at Los Angeles, Cal., the other day, and is being discussed with great interest by doctors and surgeons. Mrs. Walter W. Akers, wife of the manager of a fruit products company, was restored to life after having been dead for ten minutes. "The raising was not from a theoretical death, or state of coma, as it is ordinarily understood," said Dr. P. M. Williams of Los Angeles, who, with Dr. C. S. Hutchison, had charge of the case. "Mrs. Akers was actually dead. Her heart had stopped its functioning, there was no pulse; the eyes were fixed in the glare which spells to every medical man the eternal sleep; there was no response to the usual tests. The patient was dead. "The end came during the progress of an operation on the abdomen. The operation was progressing in due course when our attention was directed by Dr. W. S. Holman, who was administering the anaesthetic, to the woman's complete collapse—to her death, in fact." Mr. Akers, who was awaiting the result of the operation in an adjoining room, was summoned and realized instantly that all was over. Then something happened. The doctors went to work. Nurses with the training of the battlefield began the administration or oxygen. Dr. William vigorously applied himself to producing artificial respiration, all! first to no effect. Then Dr. Hutchison inserted his hand through the incision made in the abdominal wall during the course of the operation; slowly, carefully, until the diaphragm was reached. One finger grasped the top of the heart; his thumb was at the bottom. A slight compression, another and another followed, until the physician's hand was contracting and dilating the organ of life in simulation of the heart's action. Finally respiration started again. After that the patient rallied with a marvellous facility second only to the unaccountable collapse, and in a few minutes was so far recovered that it was necessary to administer new anesthetic so that the original operation might be concluded. The operation lasted more than two hours, and Wr. Hutchison said afterward that the patient was in a normal and satisfactory condition, with every chance in her favor for complete recovery. DREDGE BRINGS UP SHOT Cartridges of Ancient Type Recall Times When Shooting Was Good Who would expect the hydraulic dredge at Lake Nokomis to uncover a lead mines? That is exactly what it did, says a Minnesota correspondent. Several hundred pounds of lead have been collected in the sleeves that join the sections of the discharge pipe. A box of this lead in the dredge office shows shot of all sizes from bird shot to buck shot, some 22-short bullets and a copper sheathed rim-fire cartridge of an old and forgotten make. This should warm the heart of many an old sportsman who used to shoot waterfowl in the days when that lake was so far in the country that people spent their summer vacations tenting on its banks, and when men who wanted a day's shooting could get all they wanted if they could get to the lake. The lake was not park property then, there were no laws that forbade shooting within the city limits or within three miles thereof, as now. Ducks of all species and wild geese made the lake one of their feeding stations at spring and fall migrations, and so mighty were some of the shots in that day that hundreds of the birds never got farther alive. But it took tons of shot. The birds were ascalied from blinds, banks and pants, with old army muskets loaded with buck shot, muzzle loading fowling pieces, and the more modern breech loaders. The shot that did not hit duck or goose fell into the lake, and there it has remained in the coze of the bottom. The big dredge sucked up the shot with the mud and gravel, and the lead, being heavier, or of greater specific gravity than the gravel, collected in the sleeves of the discharge pipe, just as gold collects in the bottom of a sluice. Children in the neighborhood have carried home buckets of this ancient shot. A New Jersey inventor has patented a method of treating wood to produce a substitute for cork, in which he seeks to remove all acid from the wood and then impregnates the wood with a solution of glycerin and water, after which it is dried for use. You can't judge a man's brain power by his tongue power. THE GAZETTE What Our People Are Doing Each Week - Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical- Marriages, Deaths, Etc.

Cleveland has lost one of its most aggressive and energetic young attorneys in the death of Charles Summer Energetic and Able—Enrolling team of his colleagues in both the legal and business professions and was loved by all for his congeniality. "Charlie" as he was familiarly addressed by a host of friends and acquaintances, was a hail fellow well met. Always on the alert, he it was but a brave man, a brave man, and set in behalf of the rights of our people. Born in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio. Oct. 7, 1886, he was brought to Cleveland by his parents when very young; attended the public schools of this city, pursued and finished his legal training at Western University, and practiced in this state in 1907. He stood as a candidate for the City Council and also for the legislature, and served as enrolling clerk of the House of Representatives, some years ago.

While yet in the hivey of an active life, he succeeded to an attack of pneumonia on Thursday, March 6, 1919, after an illness of only three weeks. The funeral. Tuesday afternoon, from the family residence, in E. 95th St. was largely at home. Sutton, a sister, Miss Bertha, one of our local public school teachers; a brother, Goo. C. Sutton, a senior student at Howard University Medical school, Washington, D. C., many relatives and friends to mourn his demise. BISHOP HURST RIGHT. Tampa, Fl. — The Central Florida conference, presided over by Bishop John Hurst of Blantimore, Md., just closed one of the most successful sessions ever held in the history of the organization. Revs. S. A. Williams, D. M. McLain, Pottie A. Jackock, H. D. Diskeyan, and delegates to the general conference to meet in St. Louis, May, 1920. Bishop Hurst delivered a strong address during the conference commending the race for its part in the world wide war for democracy. He will discharged our duty, he said, and will make the government for no special favors. We want only that which is enjoyed by any other American citizens. We do not ant the railways to provide us with special cars, special waiting rooms, special ticket windows, but let us be the ones making the government for no special favors. We S. A. Williams, the choice of Florida for the Episcopal bench, in addressing the conference said: "Europe has reorganized the fact that bishop and manhood know no color or race, for the white American and the African-American want over side and side up, and we want to pay for the world, and we want that America shall be included in the world." Dr. J. C. Caldwell, secretary of the Allen Christian, Endower League, whose life is being spent for the young people, attended the conference and delivered several addresses, pleading for those. He declared that if the church did not provide for the young men and women socially, then the devil would. He has made many friends in this state. Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago is also a favorite in this section. Jackson Wanted in Greenfield, Too. Bellefontaine, O., May, S. 1919. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: A man giving his name as William Jackson was in Bellefontaine a few days this week, claiming that he represented the Cleveland Gazette. He made arrangement for the entertainment of the returned colored soldiers of Logan county, buying supplies for a banquet, and giving a check, which was dishonored. You will favor us if we give us any information you will have concerning Jackson. Is he employed by you? No indeed—Editor! Yours very truly. LEWIS F. HALE. Presenting Attorney of Logan County, Ohio. Outrageous Treatment Accorded Our Soldiers IN FRANCE BY PREJUDICED AMERICAN OFFICERS AND PRIVATEES Nearly All of Whom Are Southern "Crackers"—Why Did Col. Hayward of the 369th Inf., Get Rid of Its Afro-American Line Officers? New York City.—The absence of our line officers in all of the regiments, except the 370th Inf., the 8th Illinois," returning from overseas in recent weeks, has caused much discussion and speculation as to what has been done with them. About one third of the men in the 8th Illinois, "the old 13th N.Y. reg." were Afro-American when Col. Hayward left here with them for France. On their return here, recently, ALL of the line officers were WHITE in spite of the fact that the Colonel, white abroad, asked for and received forty replacement (new) officers. It transpires that A.L. J. H. Afro-American line officers of the "3690th" tened of as soon as possible after the regiment's arrival in France. As yet none of our local race papers has had the courage to investigate and publish the facts in this case. What has so effectively stopped them from doing so, is a question being asked more and more, each succeeding day. The colonel wrote to the take to Mrs. Jeanne Allen, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Asington, before coming to this country, was a resident of Savannah, France, where during the recent war and occupation of that city by American troops, she was married to an Afro-American soldier, about Walter Asington, brother of Mrs. Allen. Her maiden name was Aliphon Poste. A friend of the subject: The black soldier saved civilization in 1914-18. First, nearly 400,000 black men of Senegal were the troops that at the Marne and the Oureq stopped the first onset of Germans. Dr. W. F. B. DuBois filled the river with their dead and made the world's greatest army recovers on the dead corpses of their companions. France not only does not deny this—the is proud to acknowledge the debt. Meantime, anti-Negro prejudice was rampant in the American army and the officers particularly involved in the scandalous tales were spread in French towns and villages; some villages were posted, "Niggers keep out!" Incidents like this continually recurred. A black chaplain with the rank of a lieutenant reported for duty with colored stewardies regiments at Bordeaux. All the officers were white. He presented himself at the officers' mess and was refused admission. He was contrary to regulations. He tried the non-commissioned officers' mess. He was refused here because he was an officer. He asked them to send him meals. They refused. He tried to eat with the privates. Again regulations intervened. After a day of hunger and insult he was finally accommodated with a side table for himself in the officers' mess room. In the fighting units not one-third of the white soldiers saluted colored officers; they were refused at officers' clubs and in several cases open dispatches. When they were not often refused admittance to officers' quarters and placed with the privates, Gossip disparaging to the black officers filled the whole American army and clashes of white and colored soldiers ended in blood shed in a number of cases. The black men never wavered. Because side by side with this treatment on the part of their own country, came the courtesy, the kindness and the utter lack of prejudice among the French. The black soldiers by their sweet-tempered consideration, the French officers, they saw the wretched suffering of the French and they toiled and fought willingly for them. French officers and civilians of high social position vied with each other in doing all they could to show consideration. A Negro officer entered a cafe. The American white officers resented his seat. French officers at a neighboring table very quietly and courteously nodded to the laudability and the black officer found a welcome seat with them. Several high white southern officers of General Ballou's staff blocked nearly everything that would help to encourage the black men—the Chief of Staff repeatedly refused permissions to the photographers, with the result that the Division has almost no photographic record of its work. But it did work and fight. * * * So the word to acknowledge the Negro stevedore and the fighting black private has gone forth, but the American army is going to return to America determined to disparage the black officer and eliminate him from the army despite his record. And the black officer and private? They return at once bitter and exalted! They will not submit to American caste and they will ever love France! AMERICAN DEMOCRACY As Shown the French Wife of a Brave Afro-American Soldier. Hope, Ark.—White citizens of this city throw a fit when Mrs. Mignon Avington, a beautiful French girl, alighted from a train here, last week, and asked to be taken to Mrs. Jennie Allen, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Mavington, before coming to this country, was a resident of Savannah, France, and the child she was envisioning of that city by American troops, she was married to an Afro-American soldier, Stout, Walter Avington, brother of Mrs. Allen. Her maiden name was Mignon Poste. Aitney conveyed the French girl to her relatives home, where she expressed a desire to speed the night. Bringing the child to bed, she envisioned of Arkansas "trackers" collected at the station, and sent word to the Allens that if Mrs. Avington was permitted to remain over night the house would be burned to ashes. The French girl declared that she would remain in spite of the threats, but Mr. George Atkins (white), chairman of the Council of Defense, would be taken to the night. Harlow hotel, a fashionable white resort, she left the Allen home reluctantly. Mrs. Avignon came to this city upon the advice of her husband, who is in New York and returned there. He will see two days' pay here. The couple will meet to admire the few weeks, where Mrs. Avignon's father is a Lanker and a member of the Chamber of French Deputies. She spoke frequently, through her interpreter, Mrs. Frances Buchan, of the French, who had made in France. She also spoke with much feeling of America's contemptible treatment of our people. JACK JOHNSON Again on American Soil—In Cuba and Mexico. Havana, Cuba—Jack Johnson, world's heavyweight pugilistic champion, arrived here, Saturday, from San Sebastián to Cuba, where he will make his first appearance in a ring contest since he handed the pseudo championship to Jess Willard in this city; almost four years ago. Johnson declared that he wants a return fight, with Willard "anywhere, under any conditions, except those which governed the havana city." He has called for a purse to suit Willard—winner take all, 75 and 25 per cent, or otherwise. Johnson looks to be in good condition and said he tips the beam at 225 pounds. The champion has signed a blank contract calling for five ring battles in Mexico with any opponents he may be selected for him. He hopes to meet a tackler others of the best American fighters. The story that within four months, or after fulfillment of his Mexico contract, he expects to visit the United States is simply "bunk." CHICAGO GREETS THE 365TH. CHICAGO GREETS THE 365th Chicago, Ill.-Elaborate, plans were also made to welcome twenty-two students to the 365th Infantry, the 635th Army, the 92d DIV., which arrived, Monday morning, at the Illinois Central depot. Chicago was "all hot-up" again and another grand demonstration was the result. Gen. Leonard Wood and his staff reviewed the troops from the stand near the Art Institute, where the band from Great Lakes was stationed. Chicago took the "Old 5th" Reg. back from France and gave it an ovation such as no other regiment had received. Monday, the U. S. Employment Service issued a statement that it is impossible to find work for many of these men, who came back with medals and citations and trophies proving how well they had performed placing these men than with any other task we have," said Mark L. Crawford, director of the bureau. Employers must help us out—these real men mustn't go without work. Held as Slayer of Woman. Marion, O.-Iosea Hill, from the south, age 22, is being held for trial on a charge of slaying Mrs. Clyde Scranton, (white), age 28, here the night of Jan. 29. Prosecutor Young has announced that Hill has confessed and that he has been removed from the county for safe keeping, and has implicated an American African Afro-American recently sent to the state reformatory at Mansfield. IN UNION IN STRONG SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Carbed Wire in War When Joseph P. Glidden, a farmer of DeKalb, IL, back in 1872, got the idea of making, wire fences, with bars on them, he had no more harmful design to teach horses, cattle and hogs, by the pricks they might receive, that wire fences were meant to keep them in or out. When Uricle Sam, on December 24, 1874, gave Garrett Glidden the Christmas gift of a patent on his new device his idea was herded to the world. The western prairies, with their lack of fencing materials, had tried single strands of wires, but they availed little, and the whole consumption of wires for fencing in 1874 was only fifty tons. Glidden's braids made the cattle think, and the farmers soon saw their worth. In ten years the wires fences had increased ten thousand fold, and in ten years more the growth had been the foundation of the wire trust. But Glidden reaped, small reward from his invention, till February 29, 1892, when the United States Supreme Court unheld his claims, and he was able to collect royalty on all the fences that had been strung before. He lived fourteen years to enjoy it, and died in his home town in 1905, at the age of 23. Quite naturally some animals enclosed by Gilden's Lancing glaed themselves on the barbars. Just as naturally men and boys tried to climb over or under these fences and have their clothes and, their flesh torn. These wounds upon man and beast, and the saddeners with which Gilden's barbars halted all living, things, came to the attention of military men, and the barbed wire entanglements of which we now read almost every day in the war news was born. And it may be said that those saddeners halted by wire entanglements while making a charge or maneuvering for a new position say the devil never invented anything nastier. Balllets and bayonets make wounds that cause more suffering, or that shock sensitivity, but barbed wire tears and annoys and gives no escape. Possibilities seen by American, military students in barbed wore soon carried to the armies of Europe and engineers in every country to the world were put to work devising means for using this new device. Natural inferrators of the barbed wire entanglement has been in use from the earliest times. Ronan soldiers had defended their positions with abatis. They had held off their barbarian enemies by felling trees, sharpening the ends of the branches and massing them with their points turned away from the Eternal City. Nailfisher piles—had been planted in the earth in front of armies for their enemies to wound themselves against or to halt the onrush of a charge till the piles could be removed or scaled. Nobody outside of the European armies now at war knows how they are using barbed wire entanglements or in what form they are building them, for the engineers of each army are constantly devising new methods, and these new ideas are not divulged even in times of piece. But the despatches tell of cavalry and infantry running heading into meshes of unyielding steel thaws, that rouse the imagination to the horror of the wounds they inflict. One use for barbed wire that seems to be new is reported from Belgium. There certain roads that it was desirable to have passable to the people of the country were made impassable to an army by building, zigzag fences from side to side. The peasant going to market might pass by traveling slowly and double distance, but an army could not thread such a maze and must halt to destroy it. New York Times. The top of a recently patented table for use on shipboard is kept level by an ingenious combination of weights and levers. Love couldn't be otherwise than sweet, as its principal ingredient is taffy. £ —————————— PORLIBHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION BATES (Im Advanee) me Wear oe ete eee ee SLO, Be MOM. eeeeeeeeees 00 Gabserikers are requested to remit by pestoifice money order or reg- istered letter Ratered at the postotfice in Cleve- Tand, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

They have been told from all sides that the League of Nations -vili aceom- plish that object, and the general pub- lie may look no further, But. when our people realize that the adoption of the league by the United States carries with it the surrender of a na- tional sovereignty brought into being under the leadership of Washington, and maintained for over 140 years by nearly all our former presidents, our statesmen in congress and our sol- ‘diers on the battle field, they will hes- ‘tate before giving it thelr endorse- ment, Unless the present ;reneration of Americans have lost the virility of their ancestors they will prefer war rather than a surrender of the inde- pendence bequeathed to them by the fathers of the republic. War could have heen avoided in 1776 by the en- durance of crushing humiliations from the British. We could have had peace in 1812 by humbly submitting to British arrogance on the high seas. In 1846 our serenity would not have been disturbed if we had patiently watched the «aeroachinents of Mexico at our borders. Sy accepting the proclamations of the southern state: in 1861 the price of peace would have been the setting up of another nation carved from our territory. No money aed have been spent in 1898 or bloo¢ shed if we had hardened ony hearts vo the atrocities of Spain in Cuba. Ir 1917 our peaceful calm would not have seen ruffled had we chosen to look the vther way when ow” ships were sunk ay Germany and innocent women and hildren drowned. Throughout ow uistory Americans have been as peace- oving as those of today, but in each of those "years the people of ‘the Inited States preferred war rather han zecept without question the con ‘tions confronting them. Has the pirit of America changed that it All hereafter surrender without a ght whenever aggression threatens’ Are we calmly to sit by while a coun. il of foreign diplomats mecting in « trange land decides our destiny fo 18? Of course we want to avoid wat shen honor ean be maintained as well et Mr, Tait cease playing upon the gnorant but popular impression of he league as “something to prevent var without knowing how,” and let hie people realize that our Monroe Yoetrine, our constitution, and ow ery sovereignty as a nation, if hi: rguments prevail, are to be handec ‘ver to the tender care of a Europeat ourt in which the United States wil © overwhelmingly outvoted.

Milton Hopkins of Alexandria, Va., who are in the city visiting her mother and sister, Mrs. E. S. Thomas of Dix Ct., paid The Gazette sanctum a very pleasant visit, Thursday morning. Mr. Chas, Hackley claims that he was "done out" of a dollar by the local management of the recent N. Y. Symcaped Orchestra concert in Engineers hall and says he will make an "alien holler" if it is not returned "pretty soon." The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. D. E.

Robert R. Denney, formerly of Cleveland, now a resident of Chicago, who married Miss Ethel Brice Sansone, Jan 19, 1929, Rev. H. E. Stewart of Quinn chapel, Chicago, officiating, is contemplating visiting (at an early date) his father, Hugh H. Denney, also a former resident of this city, but now located in Washington, D. C. Pullman porters claim Wm. Harris, 3005 Vernon Ave., age 20, porter, a native of Georgia, found dead in five feet of water in the lake, recently, near the Union station, was shot by a Texan, a R. R. employee, and that white women car-cleaners had not made any complaint against him. The women in question were friendly with him. The porters ought to have the matter investigated. It is said Tom Fleming was the legal representative of Wm. Morgan, who was returned to Georgia, recently, on a charge of having murdered Sheriff A. S. Griffin of Twiggs Co., that state. Morgan, with his wife, lived near Macon, and claimed that Griffin harrassed Mrs. Morgan by suggesting immoral practices to her and threatened to shoot him unless he permitted her to obey his wishes. Morgan declared his employer shot Griffin on his appeal to him for protection. The Attucks club's Lincoln-Dougless annual dinner in Grays armory dining room, Tuesday evening, was well attended but fell about 100 short of the number of plates provided. Mayor Harry L. Davis finally appeared before an audience of short "speech" after many failures to keep promises to do so. O'Connell of Cory M. E. church and Rabbi Silver were the other speakers, the last named's address being the decided hit of the evening. Harry E. Davis presided. The poor management of the recent Emmet J. Scott meeting at St. John's A. M. E. church has been the subject of many caustic criticisms. The crowd and program were so poorly handled that much "soreness" resulted. For about an hour and a half the people were kept waiting—from 8 to 9:30 p.m.—while a couple of local individuals on the court or a very ordinary program was rendered by local talent. The speaker of the evening was compelled to sit through all this, too. The large --- J. S. HALL'S 3121 Central Ave. J. E.

In current issues of The Gazette WEDNESDAY of that week, at the audience had crowded into the church to hear Mr. Scott, and felt keenly the imposition, as he undoubtedly did also. Private P. H. Branham of the 372d Reg. Co. F. a unit of the "Red Hand Division" (French) is among our soldier boys who returned recently. After reaching France, the regiment was given intensive training with the French soldiers, with whom they fought until the armistice was signed. The 372d Reg. was in some of the hardest fighting—at Argonne, Hill 304, now 372, named in honor of the regiment, and Champagne. When fighting ceased, they had reached Alsace-Lorraine. I. B. I. B. c club entertained thirty ladies, Friday afternoon, in honor of its twelfth anniversary, at Mrs. P. W. Lemon's. The house, particularly the dining room, was beautifully decorated with colored upholstery. The center of the table was occupied by a large bouquet of red and white carnations, the gift of the husbands of the "None Such." The program was as follows: Welcome address, Mrs. Riff; "The Ladies of Barbadoes," Dr. E. M. Grant; "History of the Club," Mrs. M. Jones, Communities; Mrs. Lottie Jones, Communities; Mrs. Grace W. Thompson, soprana; Mrs. Eugene Brewer Price, contralt. It was excellent. No one can blame Editor Harry C. Smith, of the ever-alert Cleveland Gazette, for objecting to having outsiders grab off the lion's share of the credit for the suppression of "The Birth of a Nation" in the state of Ohio. The persistent and uncompromising fight put up by Editor Smith won the struggle against this infamous film and his host of admirers in and out of Ohio rigently insist that he and his co-workers shall be given full credit for the brilliant victory they have won. It is stated that the N. A. A. C. P. had nothing to do with this particular battle on the Buckeye front.—R. W. Thompson in Indianapolis Freeman. Contracts for this month have been received by Roy Smith, manager of Smith's orchestra, from the Cleveland Welding, Printz-Baetz and Ferro Foundry companies. Also, a series of dances have been arranged at the Y. W. C. A., University and Union clubs. Raymond Smith, director, is arranging the music for the Easter ball at Dreamland. He is planning to give the Men's club and their many friends a special treat in dance music. The following playlist will be those pieces this date: Oscar Howard comet; A. Walden, trombone; B. K Smith, ir., saxophone; Arthur Ford, banjo; Chas. Munson, violin; H. Holland, bass violin; Raymond Smith, piano; Roy drums. Henry Street, for whom police have been searching since he left the city more than a month ago, rather than confront Police Prosecutor Lind in regard to the wholesale signing of bonds, was named defendant in one of seven bond suits filed by County Prosecutor Doerfer, last week. Tuesday, the court also lived at 210 E. 33rd St., until his hasty departure, signed close to fifty bail bonds in police and criminal courts during the part year. It was later learned he owned no property in the county and when he was to be called before Lind, he disappeared. The latest forfeiture in the Street case was a $500 bond signed by the police in charge of pocket picking. Street was a victim of a condition permitted to exist in Ward 11 by the local city administration. According to current report, there was a funny and embarrassing mix-up after the recent Tyler lecture at Cory M. E. church, which was supposed to be given for the benefit of the Philips Wheatley home. It is said that Geo. A. Myers and the pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church had received letters from Ralph Tyler asking for lecture dates and agreeing to accept a fee of $50 (per lecture). Armed with Myers' letter and the "Jackson" information, Mr. Tillman Farliece, in charge of the Cory church lecture, waited until its close to heckle Tyler and his man "Friday" as to the increased charge—$100. Both made such a "holler" (alien) that Mr. Farliece concluded to pay the $100 after Tyler had said he might send the home a "donation" if the $100 were paid, so the story runs. A check for the amount was sent to him, we have been told. Evidently somebody "needed the money." Tate's Stars were reorganized, last week Wednesday evening, at their club rooms, 2916 Central Ave. Secretary Allen H. Dorsey presided over the meeting and announced the officers of the team for the coming season. Bill Irvin, the popular and brainy pitcher, was appointed manager, and Roy Moore, the star first baseman, was named field captain. Fifteen new uniforms have been ordered for the team. After Manager Irvin told his plans, which insure success, this season, the boys held an interesting "fanning bee," over, over, over, and collation, enjoyed. Joe Cisco, Roy Moore and their "Bomm-Bah" quartet, were the musical hits of the evening. At its close, President Geo. J. Tate was given a hearty vote of thanks for his great interest in sports and also for furnishing the boys with one of the finest club houses for our athletes in the country. --- GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 15.

Mack, one of Shiloh's members who "purchased," a lot from "Judge Mayo" recently, informs The Gazette that it was his activity that resulted in that individual's arrest and the recovery of $750 of the $1,150 paid him at Shiloh Baptist church recently ($700 cash and $450 in liberty bands). Mr. Mack also says that the pastor of the church, Rev. C. G. Fishback, at first urged the people to buy lots from Mayo, etc. If what Mr. Mack says is true, it is strange that Rev. Fishback would do this without a thorough investigation. Mr. Mack also says that The Gazette that Mayo was arrested in Milwaukee or Chicago, early this month, as a result of an indictment Attorney Rapier, of Gary, Ind., (where Mayo's greatly over-valued lots are) secured when E. W. Mack, Jos. Strickland and A. H. Martin, Esq., went before the grand jury on Feb. 27. The last named refused Mr. Mack his proportionate part of the $750 he is holding, as attorney for the would-be lot buyers of Shiloh, Mr. Mack said, Monday, saying that he (Martin) wishes to await the outcome of the indictment proceedings before paying out the $750. It so seems that instead of the $750 he would have mentioned in our last issue, the would-be lot buyers will be out of pocket $450 and the cost of the attorney. Some of these days our people of this community will wake up and stop buying lots in other states, paying one, two, and oft-times many times more than they are worth, and being "stung" frequently, otherwise. The tide of migration, which brought to Cleveland during the war more than 10,000 of our southern people, is temporarily stopped if not setting the other way, according to figures obtained from J. M. White, Union station ticket agent. In January about 225 Afro-Americans bought one-way tickets to Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana and carried so much baggage the railroad men believed they were going to stay; in February 190 left the city. These figures were obtained by deducting the number of soldiers bound for cantonnets and the tourists bound for guaju ports and Florida. William R.

Mr. Connors said, "and so far the Baptist ministers haven't noticed any marked return to Dixie. At the same time hardly any new ones have come in." The number of Afro-American applicants for work at the U. S. employment service far exceeds in proportion the number of white applicants, according to Ralph M. Smith, in charge of the men's department, and this indicates the proportion of unemployment is higher, he said. Work in steel mills and munitions factories lost their jobs after the cancellation of war contracts, G. E. Stayton, employment official, said. Many returned soldiers, both white and colored, have been and are being refused their old jobs, too. All of which "huts" and aids materially to the number of unemployed.

Always Pleasant BY C. H. LAVINDER, Surgeon United States Public Health Service This country, in common with most others, considers it essential to adopt measures to prevent the introduction within its borders of certain communi- cable diseases, and so there has origi- nated our system of quarantine defense against foreign disease. Quarantine powers and duties are in the hands of the United States Public Health Service. Its regulations concern only those vessels which sail from foreign ports to our own shores. They do not concern our large coast- wise shipping. These regulations, moreover, do not confine themselves to what is required at our own ports, but they set forth certain require- ments to be observed by vessels while in foreign ports and while at sea. What have we to do with vessels in foreign ports and at sea? Let us see. There is an old household saying: "It is easier to keep clean than to make clean." This is quite appreciable in all sanitary work. We have nothing to do with vessels in foreign ports unless they are sailing for our own shores. When they have that intention we may make certain requirements of them; may, in fact, require them to do certain reasonable things in the hope that they will "keep clean" so that we may not have the disagreeable duty of "making clean" when they arrive in our ports. These requirements in foreign ports and at sea include many things: The vessel must be mechanically clean in all parts and disinfected if necessary; if carrying passengers she must have proper air space, ventilation, water and food supplies, hospital accommodations, etc.; certain restrictions are placed on her cargo, on the baggage of passengers and on passengers themselves. Then, there are a number of restrictions with regard to special diseases specified in detail; and finally the vessel must obtain a bill of health from her original port and a supplemental bill of health from all subsequent ports. These bills of health must be obtained in foreign ports from United States Consuls, or from specially detailed medical officers of the public health service. Bills of health, therefore, give us our right to make in foreign ports those requirements which we deem necessary of any vessel desiring to sail to a port of the United States. What vessels are subject to quarantine inspection? All vessels from foreign ports save those from certain excepted ports near our frontiers; any vessel with sickness on board; vessels from domestic ports where cholera, plague or yellow fever prevails, or where smallpox, or typhus fever prevails in epidemic form; and certain vessels from yellow fever ports at certain seasons of the year. All such vessels are considered in quarantine upon arrival and must fly the yellow flag until released by the quarantine officials. The diseases classed as quarantineable are only six—cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, leprosy, plague and typhus fever. They are all communicable diseases and when introduced into a community spread with more or less rapidity, some of them quickly becoming epidemic. Many other communicable diseases like typhoid fever, measles, chicken pox and so on do not call for quarantine of a vessel. Their presence, however, is noted by the quarantine officer and the proper authorities of the port are notified when the vessel is released. At or convenient to our principal ports, there are maintained by the National Government quarantine stations except in the few cases of state quarantine. At every port, small or large, there is an inspection service. If there is no quarantine station and a vessel arriving there should need quarantine treatment, she is remanded by the quarantine officer to the nearest quarantine station. An inspection station requires little equipment except some facility for boarding vessels. A fully equipped quarantine station, however, is an other matter. It should have adequate provision for boarding vessels and making inspections, even in rough weather. It should have a large pier with deep water alongside for handling vessels, or else floating craft of its own to take alongside the vessels themselves. There must be apparatus for mechanical cleaning of vessels, and for disinfection by steam, sulphur and for maldehyde as well as for the use of disinfecting solutions. There should be hospitals for contagious diseases, doubtful cases, and other sick, detention barracks, houses for caring for passengers and crews, bathing facilities, a crematory, a supply of water and a proper system for disposal of sewage. The duties of a quarantine officer are foreign to the average doctor, and men must be trained especially for such work. As part of his equipment the quarantine officer must be posted on the world's health, especially with regard to quarantine diseases, and where such diseases are prevalent The Public Health Service publishes a weekly magazine called Public Health Reports, which is devoted entirely to such matters. Don't Forget Its Conveniences The East Ohio Gas Co. The usual procedure on boarding the vessel is first an examination of the bills of health and a talk with the master of the vessel. In this way information is gathered as to the class of vessel, her cargo and personnel, where she is from, what events of sanitary interest have happened on her voyage, etc. Next is an inspection of the vessel, her cargo and personnel, in so far as may be necessary. Passengers and crew, when necessary, are assembled on deck and their numbers checked up with crew and passenger lists and bills of health. If necessary, temperatures are taken and such further examination made as circumstances dictate. If the quarantine officer releases the vessel he gives the master a signed statement that his vessel is free from danger of conveying quarantineable diseases. If, however, he decides to place the vessel in quarantine, she is ordered to the quarantine anchorage and her yellow flag remains flying. The next step will depend on what disease he is dealing with, how much infection there is on board, the character of the cargo and other matters. If there are sick on board, these are taken ashore and put in an isolation hospital. Those who have been exposed are placed under observation till the incubation period of the disease is passed. When necessary, clothes, bedding, etc., are disinfected. The personnel having thus been disposed of, the vessel is now taken under charge. If plague is suspected, the important question is to kill rats on board; if yellow fever is under consideration, mosquitoes must be destroyed and so on, all further treatment depending upon the disease under consideration. One can readily understand now of what great importance is a knowledge as to the nature of these diseases and their manner of spread. Before it was known that yellow fever was spread by mosquitoes and in no other way, much time and effort were expended in disinfecting bedding and clothing and even such things as rock ballast. Now, with fuller knowledge, the quarantine officer pays no attention to such things unless they harbor mosquitoes. His sole aim is to rid the vessel of mosquitoes, and this is relatively easy. So with plague and its carrier, the rat. To give an idea of the work done by the national quarantine establishment the following may be quoted: "During the fiscal year a total of 12,333 vessels were inspected by the national quarantine establishment. Of this number 112 vessels were placed in quarantine. Also during the last fiscal year 4,352 vessels were fumigated either for the eradication of infection, or else for the destruction of the carriers of quarantineable disease, such as rats and mosquitoes."

The handle made of gold, is three-sixteenth of an inch long. They Saved the Seeds In conclusion it may be said that the quarentine officer's lot, like the police man's in a celebrated comic opera, is not a happy one always; and in his dealings with the public, or at least that portion of it which may by this order have to endure a quarentine, he often comes in for a hearty share of undeserved condemnation. It should always be kept in mind that he is only doing his duty; and that, when he is free to do so, no one is happier than himself to see the quarentine flag struck and the ship pass on to her destination. TO UTILIZE THE WASTE COAL Slack and Dust to Yield Oil, Wax and Ammonia. Experts of the United States Bureau of Mines are much interested in private tests which will be made in Salt Lake City of a new method of extracting from waste coal various by-products, such as crude petroleum, paraffin wax and ammonia. This method of utilizing a large part of the coal which is now wasted was thought out by John D. Scott of Detroit. Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the Federal Bureau of Mines, and his associates have for years called attention to the great loss of natural resources in the wastage of coal slack and coal dust, and if the method of utilizing this mine refuse is discovered they say, it will result in benefits both to the coal operators and to the general public. Coal slack and coal dust now cost the owners of mines about 50c a ton to remove. The new method of extracting by-products from the material which has been called to the attention of the Government's mining engineers will make this refuse worth from $1.50 to $3 a ton.

The handle, made of gold, is three-sixteenths of an inch long. They Saved the Seeds Dan J. Gallaghan, chief steward of the Hotel Severin, was called on the other day to serve watermelon to an usually swagger dinner party, and in order to make the menu just what the rather particular host desired, it was necessary to saturate the meat of the melon with a quart of champagne. This required an overnight process, but the melon was a success. "Which reminds me," remarked Callaghan, "of a little incident that occurred out at the Planters, St. Louis, while I was steward there. A big convention of Kansas and Iowa farmers was in progress, and some of the Board of Trade fellows decided to give a dozen of the leading agriculturists a blowout at the Planters. "In arranging the menu, one of the Board of Trade officals remarked to me: 'Callaghan, all of these men are strict tee-totalers, and we can't serve wine. We want to give them something extraordinary; now, what would you suggest?" "I suggested watermelon treated with a liberal solution of champagne. This is done,by making an opening in the melon and pouring in the wine until the meat is thoroughly saturated. So this idea appealed to my Board of Trade friend, I was carried out, and the teetotalers partook of the dinner as though they enjoyed it. Naturally we were curious to know how they received the melon, strictly teetotalers as they were. Would you believe that nearly every man in the whole bunch sneaked half a dozen of the seeds that wine-soaked melon in his vest pocket?"

SHOTGUN BULLET Cylinder Tapering at Ends, Instead of Ball, Now Being Used in Massachusetts. A new bullet for shotguns has been invented at Greenfield, Mass., after several years of experimental work. The old round bullet has the force and penetration, but lacks accuracy. The bullet evolved is really a hollow cylinder, slightly tapering at the ends. It has two spiral projections or wings, which in a measure take the place of the spiral groove in a rife barrel and impart to the bullet a rotating motion which aids greatly to the accuracy of its flight. It is not a common article. It does not contain mineral oil or solvent drugs; in fact, it is the only pomade on the market. It is not a perfume, and does not contain mineral oils, such as vaseline or petroleum. You can use Ford's Hair Pomade or the perfect safekeeping pomade, if nothing injurious to the hair or scalp.
