M. C. A. Still Causing Trouble. Special to The Gazette. Chicago, Ill.—Hon. Edward H. Morris, leading attorney and former member of the ill. legislature, and Rev. Archibald J. Carey, the militant A. M. E. preacher, have been elected members of the Illinois Constitutional convention. Both of these men are strong characters and are absolutely opposed to "jim crowism" in any shape. They may be depended upon to safeguard the rights of our people in this state. Race segregation by the guilty, regardless of color, were advanced as solutions of Chicago's race problem, in the report of the coroner's jury which investigated the recent race riots. Appended was a sworn statement by the coroner that race riot deaths were thirty-eight—fifteen white and twenty-three Negroes, this is a joke! Ten times as many whites (and more) were killed. Less than one third, colored, were killed. The corner said he would recommend placing cameras on all police patrol wagons to take pictures of crowds at riots. Our people here are having trouble right along fighting property or residence segregation and "jim crow" schools. All this is the outgrowth of Booker T. Washington's "separate as the fingers of the hand", Atlanta, Ga. speech, years go, and the establishment here later of the Provident Hospital and a Y. M. C. A.—"jim crow" institutions.

Smith know that we, the publishers of the Daily American, highly appreciate his pioneer work.

Elected Justice of the Peace—The First of the Race to be so Honored in His County. One of the results of the recent election, in the state, that is bound to give a great deal of satisfaction and encouragement to our people of Ohio and the country, is the triumphant election of Mr. John T. Oatneal, of Washington Court House, O. our leading resident of that part of the state, as a Justice of the Peace of the county. The victory came as the result of a hard fight that makes it all the more gratifying. It is the first time that a member of the race has been elected to such a position in that county, too. The other successful candidate for a similar position in the county was T. N. Craig, (white), Ex-Probate Judge of Payette County, O. . . Mr. Oatneal, has long Mrs. Victoria Oatrical served the citizens of that section of the state as a pension claim attorney, getting his experience in that line of work, years ago, when an examiner in the U. S. Pension Office at Washington, D. C. It is hardly necessary to say that he is perfectly competent, as a result of education and experience, to fill the position in a most satisfactory manner to all concerned. Writing the editor of The Gazette, last week, our long time friend, said: "Except for the many kind things said about me in The Gazette, I don't think I could ever have won." Mrs. Oatmeal's intense loyalty and assistance was of great help, just as it has been for many, many years: MISS JENNIE HUNTER "Stars" in the Recent Political Campaign. According to Dame Rumor. Some campaign echoes: Miss Jennie Hunter, secretary of the Phillis Wheatley home, was for Dr. Robert H. Bishop for mayor and Carroll L. Scott for councilman of ward 11. it is said. One story goes that she was forced to take a Bishop banner from the walls of the home. Another, that women of the race tore one from her auto in the vicinity of E. 80th St. and Pine Ave. election day. Also that she got over into the 12th ward electionering for Scott and did not know it until a worker reminded her that she was out of her bailiwick. Going some is not it? Her speech at the Scott meeting, held one evening week before last in the P. W. A. annex in Central Ave., was "a corker"; it is said, brisling all the way thru with telling facts which she skillfully arrayed against the Mayor Maschke-Davis administration and Councilman Tom Fleming, the large audience cheering her lustily. It was at this Scott meeting that Attorney Alex H. Martin, candidate for municipal judge, forgot himself and began praise of Fleming, one of Scott's opponents in the ward 11 councilmanic contest, and was hissed and stopped, it is said. He was also "called to book" by Pete Ross, an ardent Scott supporter. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right, Not a sacrifice, even though you go down; SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NEW FORM OF LYNCH-MURDER The Truth of the Elaine Riots—Arkansas Worse Than Turkey Was—Prompt Action Necessary More than eleven colored men have been condemned to die because of the riots at Elaine, Ark. In addition to the about forty other inmates been required to serve long terms in the penitentiary. This nation should demand a stay of sentence in all of these "convictions" until an impartial and just tribunal passes upon the whole matter from beginning to the end. The court that sentenced those colored men was composed of the murderers that began the riot. From information of a reliable character it has been established that the Elaine riot grew out of an attempt of southern white planters to take the farm products of colored men and sell them at the highest market prices—the white man to give the colored man whatever they chose. Colored men banded together to protect themselves. But this organizing was made a pretext by white assassins to form a mob and butcher them! When the blacks held their own, U. S. soldiers were pressed into service to cow and disarm them while white villains went armed and killed them as fast as they were disarmed. Now this Arkansas county composed of the bloodiest assassins of the world, finished the work left undone by the mob. Not a white Judge has been tried, nor has there been a warrior sworn out for the indictment. It is known to all Arkansas is worse than Turkey of past years. If this bloody carriage of human beings is allowed to go through, it means Negroes in Arkansas are doomed to slavery, death, peonage and pograms that the world will shudder at. Civilized America should protest! There must be some way to save our courts from the infamy of southern outlaws. Every judge and court officer connected with that Elaine travisely, should be imprisoned and their infamous device set aside. Let black men everywhere raise money and send petitions to Congress, calling upon it to act at once by for- PRAISE FOR OUR PRESS And Our People from a White Virginia Educator—Must Be a Northerner. Lexington, Va.—While Gov. Brough of Arkansas is of the opinion that many papers of the race should be suppressed, Dr. Robert T. Kerlin (white), professor of English in the Virginia Military Institute, at this place, a reader of The Gazette, demonstrates by his acts and words that the Arkansas executive needs to be enlightened on the subject more than censured for his ignorance. Dr. Kerlin says: "I am reading Negro newspapers by the score from all parts of the country, secular, religious, fraternal and institutional. Let me tell you some of the impressions—impressions of a white man. First of all, I am profoundly impressed by the proximity of these papers in their expression of the wrongs, the discriminations and injustices practiced against the Colored people; by their white neighbors and fellow citizens. Never, I think, did so many millions of people constituting a racial unit exhibit such a solid front, such unanimity of feeling and purpose. Their reaction to lynchings and the riots of which they have been the victims—to the shame of white America—has been that of one outraged and tortured soul, heroic in forbearance and in suffering. Then I am impressed by the force of resoluteness of the Colored people's contention—also put forth with absolute unanimity—for justice, for opportunity, for constitutional rights, and for all that as human beings and loyal citizens they are entitled to."

My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does-not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.

CITY, CENTRAL S.R. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, O. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWS-TEST AND BEST in the country. 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 300,000 in Ohio. 25,000 in Cleveland. CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOV. 15, 1919. The Republican "landslide," election day, throut the North, is unmistakable evidence of the growing loss of confidence in the Democratic party under the leadership of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson. With much the same result, last fall, there can be no doubt in any intelligent mind now as to the outcome of the next presidential election. This latter cannot come too soon, is the general feeling. Republican "landslides," two years go and last week, were what re-elected Mayor Harry L. Davis of this city. The people of this community are certainly entitled to the sympathy of all. Two years more of the Maschke-Davis administration—the mere thought of it—is quite sufficient for many who know the miserable conditions, moral and financial, existing here. At Helena, Ark., that state is rail-roading Afro-Americans by the "wholesale" to its electric chain (death) on the charge of being Elaine Ark. rioters. Over 100 have been indicted and are being "tried." About a dozen have already been "convicted," after alleged "trials" of from six to eight minutes. This is not a new form of lynch-murder for the South. These "chickens," too, "will come home to roost" at no very distant date in the future. Mark our prediction! WE MUST STRIKE BACK! Bishop W. H. Heard, age 70, of the Mississippi and Louisiana district of the A. M. E. Church, addressing the Pittsburg Conference of that Church, last week, said among other things: "The condition of my people in the South is far worse than in parts of the North and the country is headed in the direction which means trouble. I cannot account for our treatment. We have been altogether too submissive and spineless to look after those things that mean our welfare and the permanent good of the country." For more than thirty years we have preached a doctrine that was the outcome of a careful study of the conditions that have finally forced the good bishop to speak fearlessly and truthfully. Yes, we have been too "submissive and spineless" entirely too long, as a result of listening to and accepting the advice of misguided or designing whites who posed as our friends, and "jim-crow" or weak-kneed "Negroes", who for selfish reasons or fear, preached the "turn the other cheek" course the race as a whole has followed entirely too long. Slowly but surely during the past thirty years we have seen the number of our thoughtful people, like Bishop Heard, increase and it is that more than anything else that encourages us to believe that some day a sufficient number of the race will also awaken to the fact to enable them to do more in a few years for the real progress of the race than has been done by all of our people in the past thirty years. We simply must learn the lesson of striking back because the average American has no respect for any individual or race that fails to do so when conditions warrant it. What our people of Washington and Chicago did during the recent riots has done the race more good than all the preaching of the "doctrine of surrender" since the close of the war of the rebellion. COUNCILMAN TOM FLEMING Councilman Tom Fleming has served three terms in the City Council of Cleveland and was re-elected to a fourth term, last week Tuesday. Thus far he has proved but a "spoke" in the wheel of the local Masskke-Davis political machine. This in a large measure accounts for the fact that in all of his six years' service as a member of the City Council of Cleveland he cannot point to a single thing of material consequence to our people of this community he has accomplished, or even tried to accomplish. It seems to have never occurred to him that by city ordinance he might accomplish much to do away with local color-lines in public places of amusement, accommodation, etc—if he tried. He could, at least, TRY to do something MATERIAL for his people, most of whom do not seem to feel that it is necessary for him to do more than sit as a member of the City Council and be referred to occasionally as "the silent member." That unsightly Central-Marion bathhouse which have been better provided for had almost any other person except Fleming been a member of the Council from ward 11, and the civil service and other appointments he claims credit for, and does not deserve, in many cases, are not one one-hundredth as important to the progress of our people of this community as almost any kind of a clerkship in the City Hall Fleming has feared to ask for and the Maschke-Davis administration has steadily, for four years, refused to give our people; or as important as an effort to pass an ordinance against unjust discrimination in public places of amusement, accommodation, etc., like even far off Havana, Cuba, has. Tom has two years more in which to make a proper showing and this publication is a reminder of the fact that "The Old Reliable" Gazette will be on guard and keep our people even better informed if possible on this particular subject, than it has in the years gone by. Will Tom take advantage of this latest opportunity to do something material for our people of Cleveland? We shall see. MARTIN, MASCHKE AND DAVIS The local Republican organization, after promising to do so, again failed to support Attorney Alexander H. Martin in some of the south, west and east-end wards. That is the principal reason why he was not elected a municipal judge, last week Tuesday. The failure, two years ago, was far more noticeable, it is true, than that of last week, but the effect was the same in each instance. Maurice Maschke, the local Republican boss, in conversation with the editor of The Gazette, several years ago, intimated that there was too much prejudice to appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in the City Hall. Possibly, that explains the Maschke-Davis organization's failure to properly support Alexander H. Martin and elect him a judge of the municipal court, which is located in the City Hall, instead of Judge McMahon, two years ago, and Judge-elect Stevens, last week Tuesday. If our voters of this community were a little different from those elsewhere in this country they would promptly and properly resent such political mistreatment. But a people who will not resent the mayor's insulting mistreatment (broken engagements, etc.) can hardly be expected to perform such a duty to themselves and their race now. Prejudice does not estop the Maschke-Davis "outfit" from appointing and electing Jewish representatives to offices of all kinds, even "cabinet" positions, and should not. "Boss" Maschke, a Jew, very properly sees to this and should do the same in our ease. The fact that he will not, makes it all the more necessary that our voters "rise to the occasion" and resent such mistreatment as he and Mayor Davis have repeatedly visited upon the Afro-Americans of this city during the past four years. The Martin case is only the latest; that is all. OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, benefits, shall be found not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raisled against injustice, ignorance and lust, the infqnifition yet would serve the law, and grillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO. NOVEMBER 15. 1919. THEORY AND PRACTICE Laboratory Research That Did Not Work Out In Cases Of Ivy Poisoning NEW YORK—The variance which often exists between theory and practice in medicine is admirably exemplified in the case of the suggestion made by laboratory workers for the treatment of ivy poisoning and the actual results obtained by the use, of the means of cure suggested. A few years ago the chemists told us very confidently that by applying alcohol liberally to the affected part the poison would be promptly dissolved and removed. Those who have tried this formula have usually been disappointed in the results obtained. Quite • recently a distinguished chemist appeared before a gathering of physicians and with the utmost confidence announced that the cure of ivy poison consisted in the application of a saturated solution of potassium permanganate to the affected part. Much to his disgust, a clinician of undoubted ability remarked that he had tried the treatment thoroughly in three cases without any better results than he had from the older methods. Recent careful study of the matter seems to show—we hope our researchers are not again premature—that the toxin from the ivy is never volatile and that the skin cannot be affected at a distance from the vine, as has been asserted. This being the case, the prevention will be easy enough, provided the person will inform himself as to the appearance and habitat of the plant. TREASURE-TROVE PARIS, France—An ancient story of the greed of kings has been resurrected by an erudite member of the Institute de France, Mr. Adrien Blanchet. The fact is there is some prospective work on hand for the utilization of the Rhone water power. Thus do ancient history and modern enterprise come to hobbin in the revue des études anciennes. The story tells how the King of France, Charles IX, coming one day to Arles, saw the Roman sarcophagi and wished them his. He did not covet long, for the next act in this kingly episode was the shipping of the most perfect of Rome's memons en route for the capital city. This may have furnished a later King of France, namely Louis XIV, with the precedent for the removal of the statue of Messalina from Bordeaux; not that that monarch ever needed either precedent or encouragement for his actions. The sarcophagi started on their journey. It was in the year 1365. They had unfortunately not gone beyond the famous Pont-Saint-Esprit, before the boots him he brought to a loot. Now the congress for the development of water power, which sat in February this year, discussed among other schemes the transformation of the Pont-Saint-Esprit. The question is—and it will be admitted to be absorbed one—during the excavations in the bed of the Rhone, will those sarcophagi lost nearly four centuries ago, be recovered? THOUGHT LICENSE, MARRIAGE OAKLAND, Cal.-On a marriage license issued five years ago, Philip Arapothanis, former soldier, and Miss Carrie F. Gardin were married here by Justice of the Peace Harry W. Pulcifer. Recently they learned that their supposed marriage required the legal formality of tying the knot. After an impetuous courtship, Arapothanis won the consent of Miss Gardin to marriage in 1914, obtained a license and settled down with her in a cottage. In the form conviction that they had been wedded in accordance with the law and custom. His mistake might have gone undiscovered had he not been enlisted in the army. When Arapothanis began allotting army money to his supposed spouse, Government officials asked her to produce a marriage certificate. Her husband was the marriage license, which had been carefully framed and hung on their parlor wall. When Arapothani, having been discharged from service, returned home, his supposed spouse broke the sad news—they were not married. LOS ANGELES, Val.—"Don," a Scotch colle, owned by Mrs. Fenner H. Webb of this city, is safe at home again and all because his trained ear recognized the sound of the horn of Mrs. Webb's automobile among many others that were used by drivers passing the place where the lost dog waited and watched for a familiar face. "Don" jumped from an automobile driven by Mrs. Webb's son Willard and became confused and lost his way in the traffic. An all day search for him was without result. While Mrs. Webb was driving past the intersection of Ninth and Olive Streets, she sounded the horn on her car. Almost instantly, it seemed, "Don" sprang from the sidewalk toward the ear. SINGER BUYS $10.000 COW BOSTON—Two hours after John McCormack paid $19,000 for a thoroughbred Guerense cow she gave birth to a heifer for which the singer could have obtained $3,000. McCormack preferred, however, to keep the cow and the calf for a stable he is to establish at Groton, Conn. The purchase was made at the Oak farm in Sequim recently. CURED HER FITS Mr. Paul Grum, residing at 916 Fourth Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, recently gave out the following statement: "I had suffered with Fits (Epilepsy) for over 14 years. Doctors and medicine did no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over 10 years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish every one of you a chance to write a R. P. N. Lepso, 1941 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wise, and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave me. He has generously promised to send it postpaid, free to any one who wrote him "—Adv. FINGERPRINTS IN BUSINESS EXCELLENT MEANS OF PROTECTION OF EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES BANKS ADOPT SYSTEM Practical Exhibitions Of Efficiency Of Fingerprinting In Catching Forgers And Delinquent The criminal element represents only a small proportion of the total number of persons who are having their fingerprints taken, nowadays for purposes of identification. In thousands of banks, particularly savings institutions, throughout the country depositors and Presidents and other bank officials are appropriating the marks which criminals fear. Their reason is that they consider the fingerprint is one of the best means of protection for the honest man. Wherever this fingerprinting of honest folk has been introduced there has been little or no opposition. Once the value of the system is explained to a depositor he seems glad to have his account thus secured against the possible fraudulent depositor. Industrial and commercial employers, too, have adopted the plan on a large scale. One educational institution which has taken it up is New York University, where a growing class under the instruction of Charles O. Tittle, head of the fingerprint Bureau attached to the Magistrates' Court of New York City, is learning how to take, classify, record, and identify fingerprints. The savings banks were among the first concerns in the country, outside the police, to appreciate the advantages of the idea several years ago. As an illustration of how fingerprints were being used in the steel industries, the Carnegie Steel Company plants at Homestead and Duquesne are cited. Workers discharge from one plant drift across the river to the other. They readily found employment until the company finally began fingerprinting applicants. It then was able to detect those who had been discharged or rejected at another plant. The Driver-Harris Company of Harrison, N. J., has been fingerprinting its employees, who have discovered in several instances how well they are safeguarded against having their pay envelopes drawn by swindlers. When a certain company in New York recently decided to adopt fingerprinting for all its shop employees, according to Mr. Miller, the workman was unwilling to have the job. He had his job. Subsequently the company which had kept track of him, learned that he had fallen into the toils of the law in connection with a Bolshevist meeting raided by the police. "It changed that the Onondaga County Savings Bank of Syracuse furnished one of the first practical exhibitions of the efficiency of fingerprints in catching a forger, as is related by William H. Kniffin Jr., Treasurer of that institution," said Mr. Miller the other day. "On the morning of Sept. 18, 1916, shortly after the bank was opened for business, he caught himself Frank Perris, an illiterate person presented himself and reported that passbook had been lost or stolen. His fingerprints were taken, and as they corresponded with those on file his notice was accepted. Fifteen minutes later the book which had been reported lost was presented by another man, also giving the name Frank Perris, who demanded all but $5 on the account of $285, stating that he needed the money in establishing a business. This second man's fingerprints were taken and a marked difference from those on the signature card was noticed by theeller, who answered every test question correctly without hesitation gave an accurate copy of the account, item by item, by memory. His replies would have been convincing had it not been for the fingerprints. He finally confessed. As is generally known, fingerprints are used extensively by the army and navy, and for several years the method has been employed by the Navy Y. M. C. A. branch of the Franklin Trust Company in Brooklyn. If a sailor who has opened an account with the trust company finds himself in Singapore in need of funds, all he has to do is to write to the company for the desired amount, affixing the prints of the first three fingers of his right hand, and his draft is honored at once. One of the bankers interested in fingerprinting cites the case of a man who chose to burn his fingers. They were burned. He had his prints made and the account to be the same as before the account. After the blisters broke and the outer layer of the skin came off he made his fingerprints every day until the fingers were completely healed. The ridges grew gradually until they made the same sharp prints that they had before the accident. After an attack of scarlet fever the cuticle peeled off a child's fingers. As an experiment prints were made. They were found to be just the same as those made before the sickness. From these cases it is deduced that prints are as permanent as the body itself. A movement is aloft for a national registration system. LOVES DOG MORE CLEVELAND.

Young People Realize How Necessary Good Bread Is for Health and Enjoyment—Household Duties Are Also Taught. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Bread clubs conducted by the extension specialists of the United States department of agriculture and the State Agricultural colleges, in Massachusetts as well as in every other state, are popular projects for boys as Better Bread and More of It Results From Bread Club Activities. well as girls. From the number enrolled in these clubs apparently the young people realize how necessary good bread is for health and enjoyment. Last year 18,883 young people in the boys' and girls' clubs learned the art of making bread. At Salem, Mass., 78 applied for membership in the bread-making club, and, strange as it may seem, more boys than girls applied. As a consequence two classes are being conducted for the boys and one for the girls. Sixty hours of work, with a written report and an exhibit at the end of the contest, which closed April 15, are required. Besides breadmaking the boys and girls are taught all kinds of household tasks which can be properly done by boys and girls from 10 to 18. Every member of the club who completes the course satisfactorily will receive a club achievement pin. Painting Kitchen Walls. Kitchen walls should be painted so that they may be wiped with a damp cloth, making cleanliness possible without great demand on strength and without the disarrangement caused by whitewashing or calcimining. Carry Away Bad Odors. A hood suspended over the kitchen range and connected to the flue in the chimney will gather all the steam and odors and carry them away. AVOID APPLE DISCOLORATION After Paring Put Them Into Weak Salt Solution—Silver Knife is Better Than Steel. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) To prevent apples which are to be served raw from becoming discolored, put them, after paring, into a very weak salt solution (1 to 2 per cent), the United States department of agriculture suggests. A silver knife is better to use for paring apples, pears and other fruits than one of steel, as the steel frequently discolors the fruit and sometimes leaves a noticeable flavor. EXTRACT JUICE FROM ONIONS Cut Slice From Root End, Draw Back the Peel and Press Onion on Coarse Grater. Often we use recipes which call for the juice of an onion. To extract the juice cut a slice from the root end, draw back the peel and press the onion on a coarse grater with a rotary motion.

The War Camp people are asking. Why not allow the foreigner to Americanize himself? Tompkins Square unit, in the midst of 150,000 Slavs and Italians on the lower east side—that is, in a neighborhood showing every phase of life, fro mswatship workers to prizefighters—is trying out the plan. Life for the residents of the Tompkins Square section is almost unbelievable hard, and their ignorance of adoption is often appalling. One Italian woman, visiting a settlement house, expressed her surprise at seeing floral decorations, and wanted to know how flowers could be brought from Italy while the war was going on. Since the time she landed she had seen nothing of America but rows of swarming tenements, and she did not know that flowers grew here. Then there was an army man from the same district. A book had been loaned to him by American writer John Hispani. His thanks ended with: "Wouldn't it be fine if there was a place back home where a fellow could get books like these to read;" And this soldier had lived on the east side all his life within two blocks of a public library The idea of Dr. F. V. De Porte, director of the unit, is that the best way to make good Americans out of such foreigners is not to feed them bits of vague theories about their duties as citizens, for which they may not really be ready, but to bring them into contact with what is best in this country, leaving them to acquire its customs and ideas in order to augment their time. Dr. Porte, appreciating the fact that many of these people are suspicious of anything labeled "America." Too often they have been ill treated and taken advantage of by so-called Americans and to many the word does not convey an attractive idea. A great number came here from farming districts of European countries, where, whatever else they may have lacked, they had plenty of fresh air, and room to wander about, and where the grass and trees abounded. To them America is the greatest place in which they work for enormous wages and from which they must save money with which to return, and the typical American is the foreman who drives them, while they work, so many hours a day. Instead of enrolling these people in "Americanization classes," or endearing to change their ideas by telling them that this is a great and wonderful country, Tompkins Unit is simply getting them to some to the clubhouse and then letting them work it out their own way. Today the gangs that used to hang on the street corners anl in the back rooms of saloons in the neighborhood have transferred their headquarters to the clubhouse. First came a pioneer group—"taking a chance." They found it pleasant. Quickly the good word was passed around that there was no bitter pill here under the sugar-coating of baseball and dances, no string, in other words, to the advantages offered. After that the unit had easy sailing. There are now eight of these block clubs meeting there every week. They elect their own officers, harangue about anything they please and plan their own activities. Nothing is undertaken at Tompkins Square Unit that is not suggested unless by the men themselves. Not once has the word "Americanization" been allowed to intrude itself, yet they have mapped out a Fall program more ambitious than the most enthusiastic Americanization fan would have dreamed of proposing for them. Included are classes in English and mathematics, instruction in painting, proposals for the arts, and discussions in the district lectures on music, drama, and literature, besides ambitious plans for athletic and social activities. Tompkins Square Unit is working on the principle that the way to interest these people in becoming Americans is by showing them what real American is like; that the way to make them into good citizens is not to hand them naturalization papers and give them the responsibility of the ballot, but to give them a job their own size. Their duty as citizens, Dr. De Porte believes, should begin with determining the fate of their block, rather than that of the whole country. They know what, the block is, and they can be made to understand that if it is littered with unightly tin cans, papers, and rubbish it is their own fault. Larger issues will come later with larger vision. When Dr. De Porte first got in touch with them he felt they were in a bad way. Preliminary in organizing the unit he canvassed all the ex-service men in the district with the idea of getting generally acquainted. He found that pretty generally there were bitter feelings against the Government. Some had what appeased to be real grievances, others were merely influenced by some one else's attitude. County School Authorities Tired Of * Running Matrimonial Bureau The Silver Lake Leader quotes a member of the local school board as follows: "We are getting tired of running a matrimonial bureau. With the exception of two, and apparently they were mortgaged, every miss who has taught in our schools for the past twenty years has married at the end of the first year, or was engaged and, taught the second year with one one end in view—her wedded daughter." The roilot in of the Silver Lake School Board is not, however, a new one. There are some 750,000 school teachers in the United States, and the average experience of all of them only a fraction over three years. "I is true that many teachers have taught the better port of a life time, but this only emphasizes 'be bravery of tenure of teachers' rather than 'be a teacher who teach much less than three years to bring down the average of the whole." We can think of no way to bring relief, nor do we wish to appear to discourage matrimony. Silver Lake is only one of many country school districts which have complained of a similar state of affairs. But sometimes the districts do not complain. There is on the side of the archives of one county school superintendent in Oregon a historically interesting letter from a local trustee in which the latter sets forth the desired qualifications of a teacher he wishes assigned to the district. He mentions educational matters, but only incidentally. He places stress on age, and comeliness, and so forth, and on certain other characteristics obviously more matrimonial than scholastic. In this instance, apparently, some one was looking for a wife, and it is a compliment to teachers as a group. His thoughts turned to this source of possible supply. There is another and classical anecdote about a woman from a distant state, who in the pioneer days made written application to a rural board for a position, and to whom the trustees replied that they had decided to employ no more women, for the same reason indicated in the complaint now made at Silver Lake. The applicant, being under no illusions as to her pulchritude, and possessing a sense of humor, counter-replied with her photograph. Whereupon she got the job, a director remarking that at last the district was "safe." But, alas! for the plans of men, she, too, found a husband before the term ended. The wit and the modesty which got her the job as teacher outweighed those other and less consequential features which are only skin sleep. And the incident illustrates the point that if Cupid sets out to have his way no country school board is ever going to be a match for him. The institution of matrimony is much more ancient than the public schools, or even as the law itself. It has a long, running start over every other institution of which we know. It will be conceded by those who know school malaams that those who choose them as wives are wise, which being true we do not know what school directors are going to do about it. Silver Lake is only one of some thousands of districts in America which are trying earnestly to solve the problem, but are not solving it, and will not solve it, while grass grows and water runs. Not always intentionally, but nevertheless actually, the country school is the greatest matrimonial agency in the land.—Oregonian. ANCIENT DELIVERY ORDER WINNIPEG, Can.—Verbal promises did not count for much in business transactions forty-four centuries ago, in the opinion of Prof. R. A. McLean, formerly of the staff of Manitoba College, who has returned to Winnipeg after two years of active service in Mesopotamia. These two years convinced Prof. McLean that the Babylonian merchant was a canny business man. McLean found a tablet of bak- clay, which was enclosed in a clay envelope. Inscribed on the tablet in the caniform writing of the Babylonian period, was an order for the delivery of a supply of reed bundles to be used in building a temple south of Babylon. The order was dated 2400 B. C. Prof. McLean turned over this and other discoveries to University. When he was declared, Prof. McLean enlisted as a private in the 2000 Grenadiers and left for overseas on Aug. 26, 1914. He returned home a captain. While he was in Mesopotamia, the temperature often reached 1.3 in the shade, he said. GOAT EATS RATE SHEETS Business was almost suspended at the offices of the American Railway Express when a Togenburg goat in transit to a Tulare, Cal., ranch butched its way out of a crate in the freight room and made a meal off the office tariff sheets. When C. E. Eldridge, the local agent, opened the offices for business in the morning, "Billy" had breakfasted on half of the record book aid, had so mutilated the remainder as to make it useless for reference purposes. Eldridge will be compelled to guess at interline rates until a wire order for new tariff sheets can be filled from San Francisco. ADVERTISED THE FIRING OR CHURCH MEMBERS DAYTON, O-Over the signature of the pastor of a church in Dayton, Ohio, there recently appeared in newspapers in that city unusual and striking display advertisements saying that "because of repeated violation of the membership covenant the congregation withdrew the hand of fellowship" from three men and three women members, whose names were given. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND., OHIO, NOVEMBER 15, 1919. MUSIC AS AID TO INDUSTRY NOT A SENTIMENTAL IDEA BUT A PRACTICAL WORK- ING PROPOSITION HELPS MORALE AND ACTION Factories, Shops, Schools And Business Houses Utilize Music To Offset Depression Due To Prohibition Music is departing from its ancient estate of uselessness. The concord of sweet sounds is now welcomed in places traditionally scourish of art. Business is turning aesthetic, not through any sudden elevation of soul, but through a dawning idea that the cult of beauty makes for better business. These propositions the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music is prepared to prove, among other ways by a voluminous book of clippings from all parts of the country. The headlines run something like this: "Dallas, Texas, Department Store Inaugurates Music for Efficiency." "Large Connecticut Factory Utilizes Classical Tunes to Increase Production," or "Verdi and Bizet Speed Up Typists in New York Office." At the first impression it all sounds rather fantastic. But then you get the historical sense of it and it seems queer that music is only just beginning as a factor in modern industry. Music has been utilized to aid labor from the oldest times. A series of experiments by Dr. Hyde and Dr. Scalipino of Lawrence, Kan, showed that music has a profound influence upon the internal mechanism of the human body. The heart rate was effected, also the blood pressure, and various other changes occurred under the influence of different sorts of concerted sounds. The brilliant, vigorous piece effected the greatest stimulation, as was to be expected. They apparently would be the ones adapted to quicken work. But other tonal moods might have their places, as well. Thought stimulation, for instance, wild very likely he best effected by quieter and deeper strains. That thought is aided by music is known. The present movement comes on the inspiration of the recent universal demonstration of the practical usefulness of music: the War. Soldiers have always tramped to songs, and many a tide of battle has been turned by forced marches made under the explanation of the war during America's war preparation the most extensive use was made of music. Many organizations were formed to carry on the work of musically keeping up the morale of the training troops, and these organizations now have turned their art to the uses of peace. The idea is still largely one of morale. Great industries all over the country are organizing choruses and bands to summon music's spell during lunch hours and short recesses. The efficiency of business is dependent upon the state of mind of its employees. Music is powerful for keying-up. It will not seem strange to any one that a few minutes' rest from high-pressure work, with a snatch of bright music, will send the workers off to the next spell of work with renewed spirit. Many big firms are arranging for evening's symphony orchestra concerts for their employees. Diversion is necessary, and the kind of diversion that employees indulge in during the evening affects shop work the next day. An evening of music is perfect for the dim gray dawn of the morning after. Prohibition has come. The cheerful cup is generally absent. The intoxication of tone has many of the joys of wine, and now music is scheduled to aid in filling the alcoholic gap. Take the morning's dawning for instance. Try a tonal eye-opener. Connect the alarm clock with the phonograph, and experience the exquisite luxury, the entrancing pleasure of being awakened to the sound of music. It will not merely furnish a delightful sensation, but will brace up and set you going without the usual half-hour of morning torpidity. Music is a famous awakener. In the old legend Orphse's song awakened the very stones. Business concerns realize that it takes their forces half an hour or more to get agging in the morning. The day's first hour is its most unproductive one. Properly chosen music to begin the shop day with will key things up immediately. The very largest and solidest commercial enterprises are going in for music. To sense the hold that the movement has taken you have only to glimpse at the times of the men that have already formed orchestra bands, chorus and other means of invoking the delectation of sound. Among them are Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Marshall Fields & Co., Sears, Roehack & Co., the Chevrolet Automobile Co., the Dodge Brothers Company, the John Wamaker stores, both of Philadelphia and Boston, the Bob and Repair Co. of Brooklyn, and the Submarine Boat Corporation of Newark. With such big interests behind the movement, it is pertinent to observe that good music will prove infinitely more valuable for industrial advancement than bad music. It is characteristic of good music that it brings about the greater measure of organic effect. Your jazz lover is never so moved by his jazz as is the concert goer by the great singing Beethoven strains. It will be a matter of business common sense for employers to break their employees in to the sort of music that moves people most—that is to say good music. A man in a hat is handing a cloth to another man. J. LOMSKY 3820 Central Avenue We carry full line of Dry Goods REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in Jackson, who YOU advertise? The merchant who advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It is a good time to "get awake." PREJUDICE "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
