Itrace co-operation, not race control, is the way for the future. The best elements of the two must unite in the spirit of mutual respect and good will for the common weal. Ten million Negroes possess all of the potentialities of civilization. But like the wild water power of our mighty rivers they have been going to waste for all of the centuries. Slavery harnessed the Negro's animal and mechanical powers industrial needs. The new task of Negro leadership is to gear up his latent power to the engine of race uplift and reclamation. There is no "fundamental, eternal inescapable difference of race which the Negro can recognize in any mood. The Negro must stand, if he stands alone for the Intellectual, moral and Religion must not surrender to race. Christianity must not be allowed to compromise with color, MISERABLE TREATMENT! Will Seek Redress in the City Courts —Barred from His Church Courts Dec. 21, 1918. I moved into the C. M. E. Church parsonage, near the corner of E. 31st St. and Cedar Ave. with a verbal agreement to stay there as long as it was for rent. In March, 1921, L. H. Brown, pastor, and one of Lane Metropolitan church's trustees went to court and had my family, put out of doors. My wife and daughter were sick at the time. The former has not been able to walk since. My family are members of the C. M. E. Church and I am also a member of its Ohio conference. I wrote to the bishop relative to the matter and he said that he could not do anything about it. The whole matter is a violation of the law of the C. M. E. Church. So this is the way the property of the C. M. E. Church in this city is being handled or used. I will finish my case in the courts of this city, since I cannot be heard in the Church courts. Yours for Justice. (Rev.) R. B. VINSON, 3603 Croton Ave. Cleveland, O. WILMINGTON. Several, young men from Washington, C. H., attended the Second Baptist church services; Sunday evening, Ree, L. E.

Porter, of The East Tennessee News, recently, brought into his possession one of the most valuable upton pieces of property that has been purchased in recent months by a member of the race. The sale of the property involved a cash consideration of $7,000. It is known as the "Bloom" property and is located at the corner of E. Vine Ave. and Fouche St., only three blocks from the main street of the city. Two large residences stand on the lot. In commenting on the deal, Editor Porter said "this will open up possibilities for more of the property for the business district of the city to come into possession of our people. Definite plans for erecting a building on the site have not as yet been made, but the front house will possibly be converted into an office home for The News at an early date." Good! They Wouldn't Go! Little Rock, Ark.—Tom Slaughter, (white) man killer and bank robber, wanted in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, took charge of the penitentiary here, recently, locked the warden, his family and guards in cells opened the gates and doors of the prison, offered freedom to all prisoners and, after ruling the place five hours, escaped in an automobile at 2:30 a.m. Slaughter, under sentence of death, for the killing of a trusty guard at the State Prison Farm at Tucker, Ar.', where he was serving a life sentence for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Roy Brown, of Hot Springs, more than a year ago, took six convicts with him, four of whom were Negroes under sentence of death. Six Afro-Americans, under sentence of death for defending themselves in riots at Elaine, Ark., in 1919, refused the opportunity to escape and remained in their cells. FOR BETTER TRAINED MINISTRY Washington. D. C. — The first meeting of the recently organized Advisory Board of the School of Religion of Howard University was held Jan. 4. The board has been organized for the purpose of promoting a definite co-operative plan by which all persons interested, irrespective of religious faith, may work together for a better trained ministry for our people. ARTHUR T. ABBOTT Honored by a Great Insurance Co Becomes Vice-President of Another—Honest Efficient, Dependable Arthur T. Abbott, 2127 E. 96th St., was retired Jan. 1st by the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, after thirty-eight years of faithful service. He was the oldest employee of the company in the state, in point of service. As a tribute of esteem Mr. E. M. Post (white), manager, presented Mr. Abbott with a beautiful watch with his initial monogramed and the following inscription: "To Arthur T. Abbott from his associates in the Cleveland Agency of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York Jan. 1st, 1922." After the presentation a summoned luncheon was enjoyed by about 35 office employees and city agents each of whom congratulated Mr. Abbott on his long service, wishing him success and happiness. For many years Mr. Abbott represented Charles Sumner Lodge, No. 1500, C. U. O. of O. F., in the district grand lodge, served regularly on the committee on insurance and assisted in drafting the insurance plan of the district lodge. He is a member of the Grand Master Council, No. 12; Cleveland Patriarchie, No. 5; Co. A. Fourth Reg.; served seven years as regimental adjutant under Col. J. W. Adams of the Columbus, retiring in 1915 with the rank of colonist. He is also an active member of the House of Noble Governors. Chamber, No. 4, which he organizes in 1916. His long service in various positions with one of the largest insurance companies in the country and his wide experience, in the fraternal insurance field, entirely fit him for the work he is about to take up as a vice-president of the Anchor Life and Accident Insurance Company, a Cleveland company, organized under the laws of Ohio with capital stock of $100,000; surplus $50,000. In addition, to long and exceptional experience in insurance work and a wide acquaintance with Mr. Abbott, he has authored and truthful, thoroughly dependable, up-to-date in his knowledge of insurance business methods and a bunch of energetic nerves. President Geo. L. Cheatham could not have found anywhere in this country, a nearer ideal man for the position than Arthur T. Abbott, "The Old Reliable" Gazette extends heartiest congratulations to both of the gentlemen, long-time personal friends and readers of this paper. Our people everywhere can have every confidence in Messrs. Cheatham and Abbott, it is a pleasure to add. SHOLARSHIP AWARDS FOR EX- SERVICE MEN New York City—During the past year and a half many thousands of ex-service men received free scholarships in educational institutions through the scholarship fund of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. It was expected that this work would cease on June 30, 1921. Some additional funds, however, have been made available and the Y. M. C. A. has announced a supplementary scholarship plan under which half scholarships are being awarded in Y. M. C. A. schools in the country. Scholarships providing half tuition for the school year of 1921-1922, have been awarded to several thousand students in the Y. M. C. A. resident schools and in the correspondence courses of the United Y. M. C. A. schools. All ex-service men can apply for these scholarships. BOY KILLS KLANSMAN! COLUMBUS, GA. — Eleven-year-old Emory Wilkinson put a check on Ku Klux Klan activities around here by shooting to death W. S. Greene, member of a mob of Klansmen which flogged the lad's grandfather, recently. Officers learned of the slaying and traced the origin of the trouble to the Wilkinson home, on the outside they were told by neighbors that it was unsafe to approach the house. Inmates had warned others with bullets. The policemen lighted torches and held them above their heads. With this means of making it known to those within the house just who they were, they went on and gained an entrance. On the inside they discovered the boy who had brought down the Klansman lying on the bed, wounded in one leg and with the heel of the other foot nearly shot off. His grandfather lay on the floor with his face black from blood which had coagulated upon it. Says Justice For Our People is the Solution of The So-called Race Problem And He is Right. © "Education and justice in the way of opportunity are the stopping stones of the Negro," says Charles S. Gilpin, outstanding representative of this tractic appearance, to those who have approached him in the cities where he has appeared as the central figure in Emgar G. O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," announced for the Shake-16-Colonial Theater, next week, opening Monday evening. "Superstition and fear are the results of ignorance and may be found in the illiterate of any race. Nondoism and witchcraft are closely akin and not so many years ago white women were burned at the stake in New England for witchy sounds like utter nonsense to craft. The talk about social equaline," says, Gilpin. "There is no such thing as social equality, even among the white race itself—how then could there be an equality between the white and black? Justice and opportunity the Negro should have to enable him to develop an economic independence. Education first and then a chance, use it if you are adequant, voice in the law under which he lives and in the disposition of the taxes which he must pay. Much money and effort is expended in foreign missions—there is plenty of work to be done at home." Gilpin was born in Richmond, Va., and attended the Catholic and public schools, until he was 14. He then took a job in the Richmond Planet as office-boy and printer's devil. Later, he took his mother to Philadelphia where he got a job on the Standard Echo. He had ad- Daugherty on Peonage. Washington, D. C.-Peonage still exists in many southern states, U. S. Atty. General Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio has informed Congress. This was in his annual report, published, recently: "The victims are almost always extremely poor, ignorant and friendless. Many times it appears that county officers conspire with the employers to force these unfortunates into bondage, which is worse than outright slavery." The Attorney General said federal agents have been instructed to stop the practice, that a number of cases have been successfully prosecuted, and that some of the cases in the hundreds of those reported received have been extremely aggravating and in several instances the poor victims have been murdered when it was discovered by the employer that this bureau was conducting an investigation. TWO ANTI-LYNCHING LAWS Anti-lynching laws were enacted in two states during 1921---one in West Virginia and the other in Minnesota. The Minnesota law makes recoverable from a county if which lynching occurs, the sum of $5,500, and renders officers, permitting prisoners to be lynched. Habe to removal by the governor of the state.

IN UNION IS STRENGTH "The Emperor Jones" People is the Solution of Race Problem And Right. vanguard beyond the mental state of his work but the prejudiced reporters refused to work with him, so he lost his job. He worked in various printing offices but never got chance to advance until at last he became discouraged and turned his thoughts to the stage. He camp and danced in music halls and toured the country with a ministrel troupe. In 1904 he traveled through Canada with the Canadian Jubilee Singers and again in 1912. Glipin looks upon this tour as the most pleasant period of his life until "The Emperor Jones" gave him his big chance. He thought seriously of taking up land in Canada and settling down there for life—so great a consideration, was he shown up to ceasar his relations with the Canadian Singers. But before the final decision, Glipin grew lonesome for his own people and for the theater and he realized that in the blood, never to be given up. He played with Williams and Walker, most of their musical comedies and was a member of the Pekin Players organized in Chicago by Robert Mott. There, much of Glipin's serious work was done. He played a variety of roles, musical comedy one week and drama and comedies the next. When Robert Mott died Glipin was instrumental in promoting the lafayette Theatre in New York. He has done considerable work in the pictures, appearing in an extremely amusing series with Bert Williams. Two seasons ago Glipin played the part of William Curtle, the servant in "Abraham Lincoln" which led to his selection for the role of "The Emperor Jones." Additional Locals Mr. and Mrs. George Hammond of Morrison Ave.; returned, last week, from a motor trip to several cities in southern Ohio. A number of FitzGerald-Maschke city employees, Afro-Americans, have been "let out." Others will soon go, especially those so active in the campaign, last October. Ex-Senator John P.

However much difference of opinion thore may be as to the real value of the play to our people particularly, along moral and social lines, there can be none as to Gilpin’s personal success in the play, “The Emperor Jones," by the gifted author, Eugene G.

Sl PATIENCE WINS ‘The demand of the French dele- gates to the armaments conference that France be given @ naval ratio that would permit her to butla ten super-dreadnaughts turned out to be only another of the little difficulties that the conference has had to over- come. Some writers and others who did not know the real spirit behind the conference saw in the Japanese insistence on the retentioN of the Mutsu a fatal obstacle to the success of the parley. But the danger, such as it was, was successfully passed. Similar dismal prophesies were heard the moment the French naval program was made public. But Soc- retary Hughes took the matter up promptly with Premier Briand in London, and now everything points to a compromise among all parties concerned. It may be taken as a certainty that the aims of the con- ference will bé achieved.

Lamont, of J, P. Morgan & Co, delivered an address recently to members of the American Manufacturers’ Export As- sociation at a luncheon conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania, Four hundred members were present, representing the largest manufacturing concerns of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Mr. Lamont talked on “America and the Far East” The banker has just returned from the Orient, where he arranged for the formation of a new corsortium to place China on a more firm economic. foundation. “The one thing to remember,” Mr. Lamont said, “Is that in China's march forward she is looking to America for guidance, for counsel and friendship. I never imagined—until T went out there—a region calling for the products of American industry wo strongly as China will call in the next 20 years, A great system of railways must be dullt, ‘Those railways will require a fair share of American steel, bridges, equipment. The country calla for electrical equipment, for multitu- Ginous forms of farming implements. China will demand cotton mill ma- ehinery on a great scale and machine- making tools. “inally, those 400,000,000 of kindly, honest and highly intelligent people will require on a prodigious scale the many domestic appurtenances that American ingenuity has evolved. Do not forget, too, that to keep 400,000,- 000 people supplied with moving pic- ture shows will be quite a task, even for Americans!” In speaking of Siberia, Mr. Lamont sald that John F. Stevens, eminent ‘American railway engineer, journeyed 700 miles to spend an hour with him in order to send a message to Amer!- can business men. That message was to the effect that they must never rest content until in Siberia the door of opportunity is surely kept open, so as to give free and equal trade oppor tunity to America and to all the other nations; 80 as to assist in the devel- opment of that region, Speaking of Japan and the Japan- ese, Mr. Lamont said that the fiction had grown up that the Japanese busi- ness man was dishonest, and untrust- worthy. From personal experience he said such a charge was false. Concluding, Mr. Lamont said: “Your whole success, the permanent stand- ing of the United States generally, will depend upon the character of the men you send out there, I met some excellent countrymen in the Far East, but there ‘are some American con- cerns that seem to think a second or third rater s good enough to send to the Orient, This is a fatal idea.

For the First Time Since Construct- ed, Meets Operating Expenses. WASHINGTON, D, C.—In a recent month, all records for traffle on the Panama Canal were broken, when a total of 300 ships passed through and the tolls amounted to $936,000, an ave- cage of over $2,000 each. During the ast three years an average of about °,000 ships a year have used the can- 1, and the number is steadily tncreas- ag. All ships, American as well as orelgn, have to pay tolls, ‘The Panama Canal’ was ‘not ebn- tructed as a money-making vénture. ‘he primary object was to give a ‘short passage between the Atlantic and Pacific and get rid of the long and dangerous route “around the Horn." Uncle Sam's purpose also was to increase the effectiveness of his navy by providing a short cut be- tween the two oceans on which his domain fronts, But it would be a satisfaction of course of the canal could also be made to pay for itself. It cost the people of the United States about $400,000,000, and the interest on this would be, say, $20,000,000 a year. In the past fiscal year the canal had a total income of about $8,000,000 and this left a surplus above operating ex- penses of about $2,000,000. ‘This is the first time the “ditch” ‘has shown a surplus, The newspapers are publishing articles declaring that “the Panama canal is now on a pay ing basis, etc.” As a matter of fact ‘tt is not on a paying basis, for there ‘ts the interest on the investment that has to be considered. It 1 quite customary for enthusl- asts on Government ownership to ig- nore altogether the invested capital. If the Income runs above expenses they figure that “profit” is made; they forget that the people had to put up ‘the money originally to pay for the plant and that this amount repre- sents part of the natfonal debt, on which interest is paid. Congress has to vote the interest each year and al- 80 vote enough money to pay the defl- cit, it there is one. ‘The last year was the only one when the Panama Canal did not show fa deficit since it was opened for traf- fic in 1914. The total deficit so far Is about $4,000,000. At the present rate this will be wiped out in another year or two, ‘Traffic will have to be multiplied about four or five times be- fore the investment can be said to be paying on a strictly business basis. But it has paid from the start as an improvement which links up the dif- ferent parts of the World and brings producers and consumers into closer oe BOWERY LODGINGS RISE. Lodging Houses Now Charge 4c ‘Cents For Bed; No Towel and Soap. ‘NEW YORK—The Bowery is arous- ed over the way lodging house keep- ers have been raising prices. A year ‘ago a bed could be hired for 20 or 30 cents, and a clean towel was furnish: ed in the morning. Now 40 cents is charged in most places and few sup- ply towels. In one lodging house vis {ted by a reporter one towel did serv fee for 500 patrons. ‘A man who sald he was an “old: timer* volunteered to point out the “pirates’ joints.” A number of lods tng houses were visited. To say the east, soap, air and sanitation would improve these lofts where greed com- pels unfortunate boes to sleep. “Two years ago,” sad the oldtimer, “the Health Department tried to make ‘these flop houses decent, Then a guy could round up the best in the house Grays Outclassed ing and properly represent the local’s interests.

A num- ber of trades are in the making as several of the owners are anxious to strengthen their teams. Portland, Ore.—Harry Wills, of New York, heavyweight, and Bill Tate, of Chicago, fought a ten- round draw here, Jan. 6. Wills was the aggressor throughout most of the rounds, but found it a hard mat- ter to hit Tate solidly. Tate won on a foul over Wills here, Jan. 2, in the first round of a scheduled ten-round bout. The two fought over again, last week Friday night. Wills and Sam Langford will meet here, Jan. 17. ‘Make Hoders Bee Can Atiates With the establishment of the all. time record for Broad Jumping by E. 0.

The wonderful track work of the duo above mentioned has a counter part in the gridiron work of Duko Slater and Charley West on the collegiate gridiron. West played throughout the memorable contest of last Mon- day, in Pasadena, when his team, the Washington’ and Jefferson eleven, traveled 3,000 miles and held the famous California “Bears” to a scoreless tie. West was the sec- ‘ond Afro-American athlete to appear in this now justly famous Golden Gate invasion, Fred Pollard the Brown star of 1916, also played at Pasadena, in the Tournament of the Roses, on New Year's Day, 1917.

Many houses have 500 beds, which at the 40-cent rate gives an income of $200 a night. Out of this the owner hires a night clerk for $8, two watchmen for $1 each and two bedmakers for $2.50. It was pointed out that many of these places earn more than $50,000 a year, One place freo from criticism fs tho Salvation Army Hotel at 225 Bowery, where Captain Bunell is in charge. ‘This hotel, with 611 rooms, is kept clean, Rooms cost 49 conts, but dent- zons of the Bowery say they are worth {t, ‘The hotel restaurant sells ella Gna APPLE AND POTATO PEELS.

R, Boynton, of Bellingham, Wash, haye added significance, Unless you are eating your apple peelings and potato peelings and drinking sour milk, you are overlook- tng an important bet and shortening your life, according to Dr. Boynton. He cited the Bulgarian people, who live chiefly on sour milk, attain un- usual ages and retain their vigor. Oatmeal also comes in f- high rec- ommendation. It is the lef diet in Scotland and the Scot is hale and hearty, going about in a fierce climate halt clad.

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS Official Report of Agent of Depart- Dear tpa Wier euased Pov: less By War Department. KANSAS CITY, Mo—The tastita- tion and operation of a so-called sovt et among consetentious objectors, an- archiats and socialists serving terms In the United States Disciplinary Bar racks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. is the subject of an official report filed recently in the Federal Court of To peka, by Oscar Schmits, special agent tor the Department of Justice. ‘The report, which 1s based on tes- timony of officers and prisoners at the Disciplinary Barracks, alleges that the so-called soviet was permit: ted to assume complete charge of the routine life of the prisoners, and that they made their own prison rules, obeying such of the rules issued by the army officers aa they, the prison- ers, were obliged to by the socalled soviet. ‘They are further reported to have been in such position that they were able, if they chose, to disobey the military regulations with impunity, and to have been able, moreover, to demand and get such privileges as the Prisoners’ Committee sanctioned. ‘The so-called soviet, which was this “committee, was composed, “ac- cording to the testimony of George R. Patterson, a prisoner, of himself, a Mr. Haessler, former secretary | of Victor Berger, the Socialist ex-Con- groseman from Milwaukee; Clark Gets, a young Chicago lawyer; Art Fletcher and B. Simmons, who with thirteen other prisoners, most _con- aclentious objectors, organized a.com: mittee of eighteen to meet the prison commandant, Col. Rice, following a strike of the prisoners. Resolutions were drawn up, = com: mittee room was given them by the ‘commandant, and the committee took complete charge of the prison routine as it affected the conscientious objec: tors and other wartime prisoners, it Is alleged. ‘Tho socalled soviet had a ‘lugging committee that saw to it that “Dackslidere” did not roport to the army officers any violations of prison regulations or decency. ‘The prisoners made thelr own hours of work, thelr hours of amusement. ‘The Prisoners’ Committee further 1s alleged to have taken charge of the quartermaster’s office and laundry, ‘and to have shipped sheets and blank: ets out of the prison by the hundreds, felling them outside the prison. They took charge of the transportation of- fice and filled out and signed trans- portation blanks so they would be available when prisoners escaped. (in fone month, seventy-cight are alleged to have escaped.) ‘They took charge of the printing office, where they are charged with having done some counterfeiting: they stole nareoties from the hospi ‘tal supplies, and even had prune juice ‘whiskey in barrels in the mess room ‘and the auditorium, according to the testimony. Tt fs charged in the official report ‘that the prison authorities were pow: ‘erless to use coercive measures owing ‘to the fact that their hands were com- pletely tied by the War Department in Washington.

Hughes Tells Officials Bribery and Threats Are Used at European Ports. STOWAWAYS ARE BAD LOT Twenty-Seven Put Off Liner But 14 Others Arrive in New York—Anarchists and Criminal Radicals Are Back of Movement. NEW YORK.—A band of criminal conspirators working in the cities of Italy and other European countries is responsible for the increasing number of stowaways trying to enter the United States. This assertion was made recently by Edward Hughes, formerly a captain in the New York police department, but now police detective agency handling much of the work of large steamship companies, Captain Hughes made the statement at a conference on Ellis Island called by Commissioner Wallis to solve what he termed "the stowaway menace," and at which Assistant Commissioner Byron H. Uhl, Superintendent Baker and Charles McGee, head of the Deportation Division of the Immigration Service of the island, also took part. Captain Hughes said the majority of the members of this band are anarchists and criminal radicals. Although he declined to disclose his source of information, he offered as proof the experiences of the President Wilson on her last trip here from Italian ports. This vessel had discharged twelve stowaways at Naples, he said, only to find fifteen more aboard ship at the next port of calling. These fifteen were put ashore, yet when the liner reached the United States, she carried fourteen stowaways. Two of these escaped at quarantine by jumping from a porthole, and one of them was drowned in attempting to swim the three-quarters of a mile to shore, while his companion was picked up by a barge and turned over to the immigration authorities, who will deport him. "The operations of the secret band behind all this stowaway movement from Italian ports are dark and devious," Captain Hughes asserted. "They first get an agreement with some disloyal members of the crew aboard the ship. For this the members of the crew are paid $40, which is divided among themselves." "Even the steamship guard at the gangplank is intimidated by these conspirators, so that they don't dare make a report of the stowaways' embarkation. Stowaways who are thus aided in getting out of Italy are in nine cases out of ten of the most dangerous criminal class. They invariably have served jail sentences and have been released by the police under surveillance lasting several years. This watching grows tedious to the police and they wink at the methods of collusion by which the stowaways are frisked from the country. "Even the officers of some of the ships as high in rank as mate are in fear of their lives when they return to Italy if they become active in trying to run down the gang or give away their secrets. We find trouble at the piers in this country trying to get the ships' officers to give us information in making a search for stowaways. "By promising one boy his freedom if he would tell us how his fellow stowaways got aboard, he got him to go to the vessel from Ellis island, but while we were mingling with the stokers in the ship's bottom we overheard several threats to murder the boy. "Don't think for a moment that all these stowaways come here dead broke. They often have a large roll of money with them, which they bring into use as soon as they get ashore. They fully appreciate that, being criminals, they cannot gain admittance to this country, so they use these funds to bribe attendants." Mr. McGee said there were ninety stowaways in the detention quarters on the island and that their types fully bore out Captain Hughes' charges. It was not divulged what plans, if any, have been adopted to bar the stowaways. TELEPHONE "PONZIS." New York's Latest "GetRick-Quick" Schoene is a Novel One Scheme Is a Novel Unve. NEW YORK.—Some New York Ponix have started getting rich quick via the telephone. They have been going around the public telephone booths, plugging up the nickel-return drop, returning later, unplugging and gathering in a chorus of "returned" nickels. The company investigated and turned up this latest Gotham swindle game when many patrons complained that they could not get their nickels back. Over in Jersey City, when one woman complained to the operator that she didn't have car fare home, the operator told the woman to stick a lighted match up-the nickel drop. This was done, a paper slug burned out and the woman got a flock of nickels including her own. "There is always something new in New York," said the old timer. Belleau Wood Tablet Fund NEW YORK.-The Belleau Wood chapter of the American legion is raising a fund for the erection of a memorial tablet in France to the marines who lost their lives in the Belleau Wood fight. For this purpose a unique collection box will travel by train, airplane and naval vessels to every marine corps post and station on the globe. PASTOR LOVE EXPERT. Tells Altoona Misses "How to Get a Husband and Keep Him." ALTOONA, Pa.—"Any young woman with the aid of a little powder and paint, a little cotton and padding, a air of goo-goo eyes and a whinny giggle ought to be able to get a man," said Rev. A. L. Bixler, pastor of the Fairview Methodist Church, in explaining "How to Get a Husband and Keep Him," the companion sermon to "How to Get a Wife." "But to get a real husband will be difficult, and without a real husband marriage will not be all milk and honey." Among the other suggestions he offered were these: "Choice, not chance, should dictate to a woman the men who would become her friends, But, girls, don't try to imitate the little frizzle-haired, painted, padded, stuffed sissies of fashion." "A man can't live on love alone. He must have a biscuit that won't smash his tie when it falls upon it." "Old or young, rich or poor, marry the man you love." "Don't act after marriage as though you had married for a bank account and meal ticket." "Don't put on an old wrapper and leave the most of your hair on the bureau and utterly neglect your person." "Don't do all the talking in the home or when yourself and husband are in the presence of others." "Don't nag and complain when your husband returns from work. Your husband will remember that it is his lodge night." "Don't plan extended vacations away from home. The world is full of attractive women with whom your husband may have to associate." "Don't forget where the family Bible is." MADRAZO'S POPULARITY. Deceased Artist Had Many Admirers in America. PARIS.—The death, at Versailles, of Don Raimondo de Madrazo, a famous Spanish painter, removes one of the most popular figures from the artistic circles of Paris. Although he belonged to an aristocratic Spanish family, he was born in Rome and became a true Parisian, having lived here since his youth. De Madrazo de a race of artists. He was the son and pupil of Frederic de Madrazo, who was court painter and professor at the University of Madrid and who, with his brother-in-law, Eugeneo de Oedo, founded the Journal El Artista. It goes to prove that genius is sometimes hereditary, when it is recalled that Don Raimondo's grandfather was Jose de Madrazo, a painter of distinction, and his brother, Don Ricardo, has acquired reputation as a painter in water colors. Don Raimondo's son, Federico, is also an artist of note. American collectors greatly admired Madrazo and many of his works found their way to the United States. His famous "End of a Masked Ball" was in the A. T. Stewart collection; the "Fair Masquerader" was eagerly purchased by William Astor; his "Masqueraders, Fete in Carnival" by William H. Vanderbilt, his "El Jaleo" by Henry C. Gibson of Philadelphia, his "The Interior of the Church of Santa Maria de la Pace" and the "Story-Teller of Aligiers" by Alexander Baron of Philadelphia. Wrong Lever Got Results NEW YORK.—A police alarm box is much to be desired when you are being held up and told to hand over the diamonds and other gems in your show cases, but a New York jeweler, excited when he received the "hands up" order, pulled a fire alarm box. His mistake stood him in good fashion, however, and the firemen who answered the call gave chase to the thieves, capturing them after a chase of several blocks. ACETYLENE FOR AUTOS. Inventors Are Working On Substitute For High-Risked Gasoline DETROIT, Mich.—Because of the shortage and consequent high prices of gasoline the idea for petroleum gas as a substitute for the petroleum distillate in internal-combustion engines has been carfully tried out again. Extensive tests have been made lately in Switzerland, where an abundance of hydro-electric power makes calcium carbide, from which acetylene gas is made, comparatively inexpensive. It has been found that engines designed for the consumption of gasoline can be used with slight modification for acetylene. Acetylene needs considerably more air than gasoline to produce the right kind of explosive mixture for auto engines. A special mixing valve with adjustment for regulating the proportion of air to gas has given fairly satisfactory results in the Swiss experiments. A small spray of warm water drawn into the cylinders with the gas-air mixture has been found to be a decided advantage. A combination of acetylene with gasoline or coal oil will give more power and higher efficiency than acetylene alone. Overheating of the engine is less likely to occur where acetylene is used than where gasoline is used. Carbonization of cylinders and other parts is decidedly less common. The consumption of lubricating oil is very heavy when acetylene is used alone but when a small amount of water in the form of a spray is drawn into the cylinders with the explosive mixture less oil is used than in an engine running on gasoline. Manila's Anglo-Chinese school, established by the Philippine Chinese Educational Association in April, 1917, for the benefit of the Chinese youth in Manila, is in flourishing condition. Recently there were 355 students enrolled in the day school and 325 in the night school. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 14, 1922 SOLDIERS BIG EATERS. Army statisticians give figures covering Year's Food Consumption. WASHINGTON, D. C.—An American soldier is a hungry individual. A sailor also has a similar reputation. But navy statisticians are a little behind in compiling the average consumption of food by the "gobs." Army computers, on the other hand, have been delving with figures for many months, and have ultimately ascertained that: "An American soldier eats nearly three-quarters of a ton of food each year, or over 10 times his own weight." What an American soldier eats at "chow time" was given much publicity during the war. It is a fact that no soldier can complain that he did not have enough beans. For, in addition to 75,000,000 cans of baked beans, 77,000,000 pounds of dried beans were served to the men in khaki during the late world war. And as a favorite portion diet potatoes and onions were purchased to the amount of 487,000,000 and 400,000,000 pounds, respectively. Practically all fresh vegetables were consumed in the United States, as they were too bulky to ship overseas. A large statistician have figured that over 3,000,000 meals were served to oirl soldiers during the war. More than 1,000,000 pounds of flour purchased for bread, 350,000,000 pounds of sugar, 75,000,000 pounds of coffee and 200,000,000 cans of evaporated milk The cost, without freight or overhead expense, was in excess of $165 a man. Food purchased for the army quartermaster corps officials point out, was of the highest quality and, while bought at a low productive rate, cost a fortune a day. At the signing of the armistice the cost of feeding the army a day was $2,500,000. In 1897, the average ration of three meals a day given our soldiers cost 13 cents. At the end of 1918 the cost was approximately 48 cents. The advance, it was said, was not due to the living cost, but to the improved standards of rations. "QUEER" MONEY FOR RUSS. Confederate Bills and Poorly Engraved Counterfeit Baffle Natives. RIGA, Latvia.—Old and new issues of Confederate currency are being passed throughout the Baltic states as current American dollars. Many natives have bought these valueless issues from foreigners recently returned from the United States. Not a few Russians have come into the American Red Cross offices in Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania seeking to exchange stage money, and cigar and cigarette coupons which they have bought as American greenbacks. There have been some counterfeit dollars in circulation here but the engraving hardly is badly done that they could hardly be called counterfeit. They look more like stage money. Nevertheless, they seem to have found a ready sale among the unsuspecting natives. The rate of exchange paid here has varied from 50 to 80 rounces to the dollar. The pre-war value of the rounce was 49 cents. Even at this rate, money changers are eager to buy dollars and, in their eagerness, have picked up hundreds of perfectly authentic Confederate bills. FRENCH SHUN CLASSICAL Subsidized Playhouses Require Additional Award to Continue Operations. PARIS—Unless the French Government consents to award them another 500,000 francs yearly by way of subsidy, the famous trimivariate of classical French playhouses, the Opera, Opera Comique and Comedie-Français, may have to close. Their subsidy is already more than 3,000,000 francs apiece. In spite of the high cost of their seats, the Opera and Comedie-Français have never known a financial success. The Opera Comique is more popular, but invariably shows a substantial deficit every year. Some critics affirm that if the French taste has so degenerated that not enough people go to see classical plays to make them a paying venture, that the State should withdraw its support or turn the theaters into popular playhouses, where plays more appealing to the present-day mind could be shown. Ulicit Drug Sale in Denmark. COPENHAGEN—The existence of many establishments for the sale of habit-forming drugs has been revealed through the death, under mysterious circumstances, of the degenerate editor of an obscene weekly journal. The authorities have found many places frequented by the flotsam of the city, where large quantities of cocaine and morphine are consumed. The drugs are said to have been smuggled in from Germany. Killed by Chafing-Dish. ST. LOUIS—Vera Neitzert, a student at Cotty College, St. Louis, was preparing food in a chafing-dish in the girls' dormitory of the college when the dish exploded and threw alcohol over her clothing. She was alone and before help could reach her was so seriously burned by the blazing alcohol that she died a short time later. Nature of Honeydew. Honeydew is a saccharine secretion which gathers on the leaves of some trees. It is a form of "bleeding" which occurs under conditions of great atmospheric pressure and a high temperature which develops sap pressure. Survey of New York city made by Interchurch World Movement reveals that no less than 33 languages, in cluding English, are spoken in this modern Dabel. The foreigners who are so numerous in New York are certainly kind, to permit the continuance of the use of English. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Section 2278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 2279. "Serious injury" defined. 2280. Damages in case of assault. 2281. Damages in case of lynching. 2282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 2283.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279. The term "serious injury" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3). Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by & mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the children of such person so injured, if any, sued by such children unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, the widow receiving an amount equal to the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a duty to as on purpose infiltrated or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in the jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is bad, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding year, will be part of the judgment in every case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment costs against it in favor the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence in the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob.

(93 v 163 12.) 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: 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, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five, not more imprisoned nor 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. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beatty bill, a few years after the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gatette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akrom, last fall, in which a judgment for $500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says no to war will oppose itself and the world then will say, Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.' The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however hard we may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. ZETTE Afte subscribe Afte Delicious!
