P., was named on a board of directors with eight white persons to handle the $800,000 "American Fund for Social Service." The donor is Charles Garland, (white), who inherited the money from his father. Garland at first rejected the inheritance, but later accepted it in order that he might devote it to social service work. According to the incorporators the fund is to be used for "agencies which are so new or experimental that they do not command general public support." MINISTERS FIGHT DUEL Over Another Man's Wilt—Razors Used—Arrested and Fined. WASHINGTON, D. C—Mrs. Julia Macgowan, charming and patite, of 829 W. Lexington Ave., was the cause of two ministers putting down their bibles, taking off their coats and starting a war of their own. Up until Wednesday night, Aug. 2, '22 at twelve o'clock, Rev. Walter Murray of 523 Glimer St., and pastor of the M. E. church, and Rev. Wm. Wood, no charge at present, were the best of friends, but when they learned that they both were smitten on the same sister then the fireworks broke out. On the night mentioned when Rev. Wood arrived at his lady love's, he was surprised and incensed to find "Brother" Murray perched in a rocking chair, making himself very much at home. Hot words immediately ensued, not Sunday school "warm" words either. Finally the reverend gentlemen declared war and a midnight duel was staged. Razors were used with such telling effect Jr. Saturday evening. —Mr. and Mrs. James Hill of Detroit are visiting the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

S. plicat, last Thursday, at Piketon was well attended. A large crowd went from here and report a fine time. that over fifty stitches were taken by the hospital surgeon. Rev Wood, remembering the story of "Rebecca at the well," reached over and grabbed a pitcher and broke it over the head of Brother Murray. Sister Macgowan reached for her revolver, but one of the "elders" was too fast for her and knocked it upon the floor and all three were in a made scramble for the shooting iron when the police came upon the scene and carried the fighting parsons to the police station together with lady love. Both "Revs." Woods and Murray, swathed in bandages and barely recognizable, refused to prosecute the other, but the judge decided both were guilty of disorderly conduct and disturbance of the peace and fined them $25 and costs. Sister Macgowan was also fined, $20, and compelled to tell the court that she was married, but that her husband was on the road somewhere. When leaving the court room Preacher Wood remarked to "Elder" Murray that he was through and would never again "touch forbidden fruit." A WHITE ENVOY Sent to the Mulatto Republic of Santo Domingo, by President Harding. Washington, D. C.—Summit Wells (white), former chief of the Division of Latin-American Affairs in the State Department, has been designated by President Harding to sound out the feelings of the Dominican people with a view of adoption of the latest plan for evacuation of their country by U. S. forces. The plan, under which the State Department hopes to secure withdrawal from Santo Domingo after a stable native government is established, was worked out between Secretary Hughes and a group of Dominican leaders. Mr. Wells, with the rank of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, will investigate the possibilities of success and then report to Washington on the capacity of the Dominican people for their task and the part this country will have to play. An Afro-American should have been selected instead of Mr. Wells. New Race Publications. The Torch, Akron, O., J. Maynard, Dickerson, editor, and B. H.

N.'s—We Should Begin At Once to Do So—"The Venality of Some Negroes." Dunbar High School Washington, D. C., Aug. 14, '22. Hon Harry Clay Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry:—It was not defeat, but VICTORY! To command nearly 20,000 votes against American color-caste, long-standing political organizations, unlimited funds and most of all, the venality of some Negro leaders, is a TREMENDOUS achievement. It shows the awakening of the American Negro and the growing consciousness of his deserts as well as his increasing appreciation of such invaluable service as you have rendered. Let us begin at once to destroy the hold that self-seeking Negroes have upon some of our people and to prepare for 1924. OUR CHICAGO UNIVERSITY Encouraged by the Great Singer Madame E. Schumann-Heink—Her Telling Interview. Chicago; Ill.—While in the city, last week, and after an interview with Miss Pauline Lee, president of our local University of Music, Madame Ernestine Schumann-Heink, the great singer, gave out the following interview which was published in a local daily paper: "I expect to be criticized by some for turning my home over to and patronizing the colored people, but I don't care. Negroes are real Americans, and we are in duty bound to treat them as human. I am independent and have no fears. As I stood by the soldier boys I will stand by the colored folk. If we would treat them right, we would not have so many strikes and so much crime, and we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the world. We should give the colored people a chance to develop instead of welcoming with open arms Russian radicals and other foreigners who, in many instances, de our country more harm than good. Look at the great men and women the South has produced. As babies all were cared for by colorful mammies. Many of our colored people are good enough to act as our servants and do useful work. We should treat them as human. It hurts me to see strangers in my home, but it has been vacant for two years and with some one in it now it will be cared for." Midam's old homestead is at E. 37th St. and S. Michigan Ave., where she lived for eight years. It has been leased to our Chicago University. Clarence Cameron White, the violin soloist, is a member of the faculty of the university for the success of which thus far Miss Lee is to be credited. Keep Up the Flight! East Youngstown, O., Aug. 9, 22. Hon, Harry C., Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I--You have made a wonderful showing here, polling nearly 5,000 votes in this county, despite the unconcern and doubt of some of our people and with money circulating freely to the detriment of our race. I hope when all returns are in you will be "way up the ladder" second or third. So keep up the fight and if God gives me health and strength. I hope to be able to help you much more in the fight in the future than it was possible for me to this time. If possible, through your paper teach our people the sacredness and value of the ballot. Many of them have not awakened to the fact that the power to change their political condition for the better lies in the advantageous use of their suffrage. You polled, in our little city about 225 votes, there being at least 600 who did not vote and never do vote. So let us keep up the fight and I will be with you to the end. The Darby, Pa. "Hilldales" beat the Tate Stars (the first) three straight games, last week. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Some Especially Interesting History for Careful and Thoughtful Reading, These Days. BALTIMORE, Md.—It is not wise to find fault with Mr. Harding for telling the truth with respect to Abraham Lincoln and emancipation. Whatever may have been Mr. Lincoln's personal views with respect to slavery he had but one idea and purpose in his war effort, and that was the preservation of the Union. A historical fact so plain can not be questioned. The Negro saved the Union, and, in doing as much, won his own freedom. This point is seldom stressed. Soon after Negroes got into the federal army, in large numbers, "defeats" were turned into "victories." until the Union triumphed completely through the large Negro reinforcements. Nothing can be plainer than the fact that following the close of the civil war Mr. Lincoln endeavored to leave the matter of "franchise" for the Negro, with the white people of the Southern states. The man who fought Mr. Lincoln and his policy on the floor of Congress to the bitter end, was Henry Winter Davis of Maryland. It was Henry Winter Davis who elected a Maryland Legislature, had that Legislature call a Constitutional Convention, and in the new constitution forever excluded slavery from the State of Maryland. It was ratified on the 12th of October, 1864; and thus the slaves of Maryland were made "freemen," not by Mr. Lincoln's proclamation, but by the sovereign State of Maryland itself. Mr. Davis asserted that the Negro "is a man." He had proved his manhood at the point of the bayonet, "in the line of battle, alongside of armed white men, charging just as deeply into the heart of the enemy's ranks as his white brèthren, vindicating his right to manhood by the exercise of the highest prerogative of man—fearlessness in: the presence of eternity and of death which leads him there." Said Davis again: "When Negroes become free, they become a part of the nation, and to SIZES IT UP PERFECTLY! Youngstown, O., Aug. 10, '22. Hon. Harry C. Smith, M.D. Editor Gassette, Cleveland, OH Dear Sir: While the showing made by you in your race for the nomination for governor of Ohio leaves a great deal to be desired yet it is a matter for congratulation. Petty jealousies, a short-tailed electorate, lack of organization and funds, all contributed their quota in the showing made. Your total vote throughout the state should have been doubled, at least. In Mahoning county a vote of only 1,224 out of a total registration of our group of 6,500 is a thing that does not make me proud. One year ago in the city election, when I was a candidate for councillor-at-large I polled a vote of only 966. Such figures as these, do not mark us as a balance of power in any campaign and earns for us only contempt in the minds of those who use us only to further their own interests. It is a regrettable fact that money can play such a large part and exert so great an influence where race-pride, justice and recognition should be the determining factor. Nevertheless a campaign of education, a steady stream of propaganda and candidates, who are unafraid of defeat in every primary, must finally convince our people of the necessity of co-operation. This, together with the studied ignoring of our people by the dominant race's political leaders, must in the end work to our advantage. In closing permit me to say that the evils you have fought, the things you stand for and the enemies you have made should endear you to ALL right-thinking Negroes. Killed the Man. NEWARK; O.—John Kalman of Bolin Court, a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad striker, was shot and killed Friday night and Pasquale Susi, another striker, was shot in the thigh by Moses Slocumb, Afro-American deputy U. S. marshal. Slocumb was walking in the railway yards when he encountered Kalman and Susi, who asked him to approach them. When he refused they would then come and get him. As they approached Slocumb opened fire with deadly effect. Slocumb was sent here from St. Louis, and has been in the district since the beginning of the strike. IN UNION IN STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS DRY"! D THE UNION? g Jr., Says the Negro Did it. ing History for Careful and reading, These Days. boutraise them to sanction a principiable fatal to American free government." To the objection that Negroes are not intelligent enough to vote, Davis said: "I have seen about as much of Negroes as any of you, have lived near them, and I suppose have as much prejudice towards them as any of you; but to talk of this, after we have had to call them to our aid in putting down the rebellion, is either drivelling folly or infinite meanness." Davis admitted that "nothing is more true than that the question of suffrage belongs to the states, but it is equally true that Congress is the exclusive judge of the compatibility of their solution of it with republican principles. The states save the right to prescribe who shall vote, but they have no right so to exercise it as to create an oligarchy or an aristocracy, instead of a republican form of government and its judgment is final and conclusive on all departments of the government. This judgment it is the duty of the President to execute; over it, he has no power." Davis contended that the re-organization of the Southern states on the "basis of universal suffrage" was necessary to support the prohibition of slavery. He continues: "They who propose to postpone Negro suffrage till the Negro is educated, need political education more than the Negro." At that time, the Republicans possessed two-thirds of both houses of Congress, so that they could do what they thought right. "If," said Davis." The President deserts those who elected him for the votes and policy of their opponents, we must break the coalition at any cost." He felt that it was insane to dream that the South would of "itself ever gave either suffrage or equality before the law, and now is our only time to compel it." George F. Bragg. Jr., in N. Y. Age. Wilson on Vardeman Wilson on Vardaman. JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 3.—In answer to a query relative to former Senator James K. Vardaman, who is a candidate for U. S. Senator, Dr. James F. McCaleb, of Carlisle, Clalborne county, recently received the following letter from former President Thomas Woodrow Wilson: "I have your letter of July 5. I am not in a position to review Mr. Vardaman's record in Washington in detail, but I can sum up my impression of him in a single sentence: "I think that he is thoroughly false and untrustworthy, and that it would be a great detriment to Mississippi and the nation if he should be returned to the Senate. Atty. James M. French Dead. Sandusky, O.—Our only attorney and best known resident of, this city, James M. French, dropped dead here on the street of heart trouble, the first of the week. Mr. French was highly respected by all who knew him. Most all of his business came from the other class of people. He was well-to-do, and in recent weeks greatly interested in the editor of The Gazette's candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor as his letter, in this paper of last week attests. Congratulations, Hon. Harry C. Smith Hon. Harry C. Smith, race man, publicist and editor of our local worthy contemporary, is to be congratulated on the complimentary vote received in his campaign, just closed, for the gubernatorial nomination in this state. The vote cast, to say the least, tabulates a friendship on the part of the electorate of this state that should mean much to Mr. Smith in the future. Here's hoping—Cleveland (O. ) Call. There are 113 newspapers and 14 magazines owned and directed by Afro-Americans, the Department of Labor announces, as the result of a recent survey.

AUGUST 19, 1922 President Harding evidently thinks that back to work is a good way to get back to normal. If the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill is to have any show at all in the U. S. Senate it will have to get it before election day in November. The Dyer bill "constitutional"? Well, we shall see. The U. S. Senate and finally the U. S. Supreme Court will decide this. The Norfolk (Va.) Journal & Guide's well illustrated August 12 '22, edition of sixteen pages was up-to-date in every particular. Sincerest congratulations, Editors P. B. and H. C. Young! We sincerely trust that Chairman John T. Adams of the Republicans National Committee, will not permit the establishment of a "jim crow" (Negro) headquarters in Chicago New York or any other city. --- With its next issue, "The Old Reliable" Gazette will enter its fortieth year of publication (every week on time, since August 25, 1883). Some record, isn't it? --- The Gazette did not publish any notice of the alleged failure of the Mechanics' Bank of Richmond, Va., because we felt sure that our long-time friend, President John Mitchell, would not let it fail and he didn't. Good! Our papers should stop heralding such things anyhow because they weaken a growing confidence we are all striving to encourage. The banking business is a very sensitive business, especially among our people, brethren of the press. --- NO DIVINE RIGHT. The positions left by the striking shopmen are the property of the railroads, not of the men themselves. The railroads can fill those positions with whomever they please. The strikers must get away from the idea that they can abandon those positions and still exercise a controlling interest in them. It would be as sound to say that a railway worker who dies can provide in his will who shall fall heir to his job. The effect on the business of the railroad is precisely the same whether a worker dies or strikes. It is up to the road to get the work done, and the man who has left it cannot interfere. WHAT WE INTEND TO DO! Speaking of "Ohio Politics," Aug. 5, '22, the Chicago Defender said editorially: "While this dissatisfaction and resentment within the party may not as yet be strong enough to result in the nomination of Harry C. Smith, it will no doubt be strong enough to be a potential warning to the party leaders as to what may take place in the near future." Our conferee has sized the situation nicely. That is just what we have been doing—two years ago and this time—warning the Republican leaders of this state that our people of Ohio have tired being made political "doormart" and propose, since they have the votes with which to force proper recognition, to get it. Incidentally, we are proving to the satisfaction of ALL something they, both black and white, would never heretofore admit and that is that the Afro-American vote of this state is many thousands larger than they thought it was and that it is large enough to nominate a candidate for ```markdown ``` the Republican state ticket. The plurality of Carmi A. Thompson, the Republican nominee for Governor, will not exceed 125,000. There is no leader of the party or any other well-informed person in Ohio but does not know now that the Afro-American vote of the state is many thousands larger than 125,000. Several years ago, we recognized the fact that it would take at least six years, three campaigns, like we have twice conducted (two years ago and recently), to convince the leaders as well as our people that what we have herein stated is true. When we have succeeded in doing this, one of two things will happen—either the leaders will voluntarily accord our people something like the recognition due them as a potent factor of the Republican party of Ohio or we will force the issue with our votes and make them do so. Leaders know about what percentage of any vote is cast at a primary and make their estimates accordingly. With the writer getting 61,081 votes, two years ago, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for secretary of State, and nearly 20,000, (more than two or three white candidates received), Aug. 8. "22, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, and many thousands of our voters, men and women in Ohio yet to be taught the importance of our effort, it will not take a prophet or the son of a prophet to see that it will not be long before "the resentment within the party will be strong enough to result in the nomination of Harry C. Smith" for a state office or in the securing to Ohio Afro-Americans the recognition so long arbitrarily withheld. The work shall go on! RETRIBUTION! Last fall, when the good people of ward 11, this city, were bending every energy toward riding that section of the city of the miserable and baneful control of the "Starlight" Boyd-Tom Fleming-Maschke-FitzGerald political combination, one Ormond Forte who was publishing the Cleveland Advocate, a paper that died several times, last and this year, joined hands with it and did what little was in his power during the campaign to help continue that element in the ascendency in that ward and section. Every one knew that as a result of that miserable political control that the lowest element in the city was dominate there and that the good residents were suffering greatly because of that fact. "starlight" openly boasted that his kind were "in the saddle." The good people could get no relief regardless of complaints, pleadings and threats. The churches were thrown open to those struggling to throw off the Maschke-FitzGerald "Starlight" Boyd-Tom Fleming yoke and all the decent agencies in the ward with many and to help on with the effort the writer led. The result was the defeat of Mayor FitzGerald, the death of "Starlight" and a bettering of the miserably low immoral and distressingly bad living conditions almost general thrust that section of the city. That they are still bad no one will deny. That they are better than they were, all admit, the there is still room for marked improvement. Now comes this same Forte with a belated howl against the bad conditions referred to but nary a word against those responsible for them, doubtless because he was "hooked up" with them, last fall, and is given a beating which should have been administered, last fall, rather than now. His effort now to pose as a martyr is really amusing and does not gain him the sympathy or support he seeks. People do not forget so quickly. Ormond; nor do they fail to see and fully appreciate the ridiculousness of your position. It pays to be consistent: BALFOUR DECEIVES In three respects Lord Balfour was guilty of deception in his letter to the siled nations suggesting a cancellation of debts if the United States would also agree. In the first place, Lord Balfour left the impression that the United States alone is unwilling to cancel any obligations. The fact of the matter is that when peace was declared with Germany, the United States then and there renounced any reparation claims. The United States did its cancelling in advance so far as Germany is concerned. Then, too, Lord Balfour left the impression that in a mutual cancellation of debts among the allies, the United States would be affected in the same manner as the other nations. The fact is that the United States owes no nation, and, therefore, there would be no nation to cancel an obligation of this country at the same time that this country cancelled obligations due from other nations. Moreover, Lord Balfour was careful not to make any mention whatever of the immense commercial benefits Great Britain in particular, and in a lesser degree France, had gained by reason of the mandates over former German territory acquired by them as a result of THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.,AUGUST 19, 1922 the war. Great Britain became controller of German East Africa and German Southwest Africa as well as numerous islands in the South Pacific, all of which will add billions of dollars to her commercial wealth. Through her ownership and control of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad, her control of the principal ports of Africa, her colonial possessions, and her mandates over other territory, British enterprise will enjoy almost a monopoly in African trade. When he was proposing the nations cancel debts due to them, he made no offer to give up the advantage Great Britain has acquired through mandates. He carefully avoided even mentioning those mandates lest the attention of the world be called to his unfair and inequitable proposition. British authorities have repeatedly asserted that it is the intention of Great Britain to fund and ultimately to pay her obligations to the United States. Thus far there has been no question of the good faith and sincerity of these assurances. If, however, British spokesman of the prominence of Lord Balfour continue to offer manifestly unfair suggestions such as that recently published, the United States will be compelled to accept the only possible theory—that Great Britain has no intention of meeting her obligations, obligations to which no defense can be made either legal or moral. Harry C. Smith for Governor. The colored candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of the Buckeye State, Harry C. Smith, should have the support or every colored man in Ohio. He is not only a real American, but he is also one of the greatest journalists and political pilots of the era. His last time up he polled more votes than any colored man who ever ran 'or office anywhere. The entire country is pulling for Harry C. Smith for governor of Ohio.—Washington (D. C.) Eagle; J.

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 it's of no use to resist downs 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 proscription for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have d'ed 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 they resist, and continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Go to W. H. Price's store, No. 1684 E. Long St., for copies of The Gazette. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

NEW CASTING MACHINE WILL TURN OUT INGOTS FOR FIVE CENT PIECES Demand Each Year for 100,000,000 One Cent Pieces To provide ingots for making one cent and five cent pieces, which are being coined in larger quantities every year, a new casting machine that turns out ingots weighing more than five times as much as those heretofore, has been placed in service in the United States mint at Philadelphia. In connection with this machine larger rolls for forming the plates from which the coin blanks are cut are also being used, the whole purpose of the improved equipment being to turn out more coins in a day. How important this is is shown in the fact that each year there is now a demand for approximately 100,000,000 one cent pieces and 60,000,000 five cent pieces or nickels. The new ingot casting machine consists of a turntable mounted on ball bearings, on which are eleven vertical molds, ranged equidistant on a circle five feet in diameter. Each mold is made up of a flat place fixed vertically to the turntable and a removable channel, the two, when placed together forming a mold which casts an ingot of the coin metal that weighs about twenty two pounds and is twenty four inches long, tour and one quarter inches wide and three quarter inch thick. With the removable channels clamped into place, the turntable is rotated and the molds are brought in succession into position for filling from the crucible, which is charged with just enough of the molten metal to fill the eleven molds. The molds are filled by two melters, each equipped with a graphite dip cup of such size that the two cupfuls fill the mold. The second melter starts his pour just before the first empties his cup. With this arrangement the eleven molds are poured in about five minutes, and in this period of time there is no danger of the molten metal in the crucible becoming chilled.—Popular mechanics. PAY FOR EXPLOSIONS Companies Assume Burden of Loss In Adjacent Plant Property Explosions in powder mills are frequent, as every one knows, but they occur not nearly so often as formerly, owing to greater precautions, and when they do happen there is little or no direct liability on the part of the manufacturers in them, being purely accidental. Despite the fact, however, the powder companies assume the burden of paying for the damage done by the explosions to private property in the vicinity of the mills, which property, in New Jersey, at least, by law can be no nearer than a smile to the powder mills. Naturally the articles most easily broken are glassware and crockery, with an occasional breaking of plaster. The leading powder company has the name of paying for such damage without delay and with considerable good grace, which fact is taken advantage of by certain householders with a curious idea of thrift or with an idea of putting one over on the corporation, who according to the agents of the powder makers, store up all the householdware broken in ordinary domestic use until there is an explosion in the mill and then send the bill to the powder company. it is claimed that a few people desirous of having the house newly plastered, has deliberately torn down a shaky part and then wait for the next explosion, which is duly blamed for the damage. Despite that knowledge the agents say the powder company pays the bill. Recently the Jetta Explosives paid $8,000 on account of one explosion for window glass breakage in the city of Gary, Ind., which is near its mills—Wall Street Journal. BLOWN FORTY MILES Shovel Hurled Through Air in High Pressure Test During a high pressure test of a new pipe line which has been built into Waco, Tex., from an adjacent gas field, a shovel was blown through the conduit for a distance of nearly forty miles. During the construction work the tool was evidently dropped in one of the 13 inch pipes and not noticed before the connections were made. The Waco end of the pipe was open when the test was made and faced an embankment at the end of the ditch. The pipe line extends across a nearly level stretch of country and has hardly a rise or depression in the whole forty miles of its length. When the gas was turned on, on the shovel, which weighs four pounds, was shot with such velocity that it buried itself nearly eight-inch inches in the earth when it left the opening of the pipe. Several pieces of broken pipe connections and a pair of gloves followed in its wake. Popular Mechanica. Brought Home to Him. "What is Daubson working on now?"

LIGHTNING PLAYS MANY ODD PRANKS Scientists Still Unable to Explain Fully These Startling Electric Disturbances The mystery of lightning, which so appalled primitive people, and which, for that matter, still does each year, as the season for lightning storms rolls around, and of which the an- gents stood in greatest awe, confined itself not entirely to a nonscientific age. While this question has been studied extensively and undisputed progress has been made, there are phases of it that are almost as little known today as in the remote past. Savants can candidly contend that the subject of ball lightning, for instance, is still a deeply puzzling nature. Even the men who have specialized on the phenomenon of lightning are baffled. In text books a classification was long ago adopted discussing lightning under three headings—zigzag, ball lightning and sheet lightning. This classification is also followed in the elementary textbooks of today in spite of the fact that zigzag lightning was recognized long ago as a misnomer. Zigzag lightning is the artists' lightning, which is to say that it is conjured from the depths of fanciful imagings, and is of an angularity wholly dissimilar to anything produced by nature. Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the United States Weather Bureau calls attention to many kinds of lightning, among them streak lightning, rocket lightning ball lightning, sheet lightning, beaded lightning and return lightning. Other authorities add to these ribbon and stellar lightning. Streak lightning according to Dr. Humphreys, is an electrical discharge which to the eye appears as one or more sinuous lines or streaks of vivid white or pink. The camera registers a complete and detailed record of a stroke. The duration of a flash is frequently all of half a second or longer. It is now maintained that a discharge of lightning does not immediately flash from cloud to earth, but a feeble, initial discharge takes the lead and breaks the trail for a much more violent flash that closely follows. The flickering of lightning is due to the number of successive discharges which follow one another repuls. Rotating cameras show the constituent parts of a flash with convincing clearness. In one photograph forty distinct discharges in a single flash can be counted. One authority on the question has stated that a flash of lightning a mile in length requires a potential or 6,000,000,000 volts. Rocket lightning is a slow but steady growth in the length of a line of lightning. The comparatively low speed of the progressive line of light so strikingly resembles the trail of light made by a rocket that the name rocket lightning was adopted. Sheet lightning, observed at night flashes in the sky like spectacular sheets of flame. Strangely enough, the beautiful lightning, which without exception displays itself in great sheets is only a reflection of sreak lightning, which discharges in some invisible cloud portion. Beaded lightning is known also as chapleted or pearl lightning. Dr. Humphreys has serious doubts as to the reality of bead lightning, feeling practically certain that it is an optical illusion. Countless stories from all classes of people in every section of the country bear witness to lightning pranks. While no doubt imaginative and excitable people highly color many lightning stories, still there is a germ of truth in them all. Ball lightning has given rise to innumerable curious stories, and upon investigation there seems to be little to prove or disprove them beyond the word of the narrator. CURVED RIFLES USED Cuns That Shoot Over Parapets Now in Big War A rifle that shoots over the parapet while the user sits in comparative safety in the trench without necessity or exposing himself to the fire of the enemy is a late invention brought out by a well known sportsman and big game hunter of this country. The feature of this invention is that the rifle is held vertically while the projectile is fired horizontally. This is accomplished by a curved deflecting tube, fixed to the muzzle of the gun, that changes the course of the projectile from the cortical to the horizontal as it leaves the gun. In spite of the enormous friction that must accompany this change of direction the tube as shown by actual tests, is not subject to excessive wear while the effective range of a rifle equipped with this device is between 100 and 150 yards. The rifle is aimed by means of a periscope consisting of two mirrors, one fixed to the upper end and the other to the lower end of a tube that is mounted on the rifle barrel. The device is adapted only to close range fighting and is particularly intended for use in repelling a charge, altho it is evident that it can be used effectively for shooting from behind a building or other shelter.—Popular Mechanics.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, AUGUST 19, 1922 WHALE SHARKS 70 FEET LONG JONAH SWALLOWED BY ONE NORWEGIAN BISHOP SAYS "Man Eater" Which Roams all Temperate and Tropical Seas—Could Swallow Human Being The depredations of man eating sharks along the Atlantic seaboard lend an especially timely interest to a communication from Dr. Hugh M. Smith, the foremost American author on fishes, addressed to the National Geographic Society, and issued as a bulletin. "When giant fishes are mentioned, most people will at once think of the shark, among which, inceased, are found the largest fish now existing," writes Dr. Smith. "Of the many species of sharks noteworthy on account of their size there are about half a dozen which are preeminent. These differ much in their disposition, some being as harmless as doves and others the incarnation of ferocity. "The sleeper shark (Smmusula microcephalus), whose name fits it so admirably, appears to have developed its body at the expense of its brain, for it is a sluggish, stupid glutton, at out six times as long as an average man. At home in the Arctic regions, it sometimes makes visits as far south as Cape Cod, the British Isles, and Oregon. It is most often observed lying quietly on the surface, apparently dozing and easily approached, but at times, when hungry, it rouses itself and fiercely attacks whales, biting cuge pieces out of their sides and tails, and when feeding on the carcass of a whale which has been killed by hunters it is so voracious that it perishes spears and knives to be thrust into it without seeming to take any notice. "One of the most prodigious and perhaps the most formidable of sharks is the 'man enter' (Carcharodon carcharias). It roams thru all temperate and tropical seas and everywhere is an object of dread. Its maximum length is 40 feet and its teeth are 2 inches long. While there are few authentic instances of sharks attacking human beings (prior to the recent tragedies), there have undoubtedly been many cases where sharks simply swallowed people who had fallen overboard, just as they would swallow any other food. How easy it would be for a man enter to devour a person whole may be judged from the finding of an entire 100 pound sea lion in the stomach of a 30 foot shark on the California coast. A certain man enter 36 1-2 feet long, had jaws 20 inches wide, inside measure, and teeth 2 1-2 inches long. This may have been the great fish of the scripture narrative and it is possible that at that time much larger man enters existed than are now known, as shark teeth with cutting edges a inches long have been found on the sea bottom, and these are believed by naturalists to have belonged to snarks not long dead. The phosphate beets of South Carolina yield very large fossil teeth of a shark which was related to the man enter of the present day. A Norwegian bishop in a learned paper brought to the attention of the scientific and theological worlds a shark which he attempted to prove must have been the great fish that swallowed Jonah. This was the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), known as the elephant or bone snark, which is an inhabitant of the polar regions, but occasionally strays as far south as Virginia and California, and in former years was not rare on the United States and British coasts. The species has the habit at times of collecting in schools at the surface and basking in the sun with its back partly out of water. It reaches a maximum length of fifty feet, and is exceeded in size by only three or four animals extant. Provided with small teet, it feeds on fishes and floating crustaceans, and is not of a ferocious disposition. It is dangerous only by virtue of its great bulk, and when attacked its powerful tail easily demolish boats. The largest of all fishes the largest of all cold blooded animals, and the largest of all existing animals, with the exception of a few species of whales, is the whale shark (Rhineodon typicus), originally described from Good Hope, but now known from India, Japan, South America, Panama, California and various other places, a small specimen having been obtained on the Florida coast a few years ago. This shark has a very broad and oblique snout and an exceedingly wide mouth armed with numerous minute teeth; the dark colored body is marked with many small whitish spoils. The species is stated to attain a length of 70 feet and is known to exceed 50 feet. Notwithstanding it immense size however, it is harmless to man unless attacked, and feeds on the small creatures for which its teeth are adapted. Its huge bulk makes it dangerous in the same way that a whale is dangerous. Years ago it was reported that the sperm whale fishermen at the island of Saint Dennis, in the Indian Ocean, dreaded to harpoon a whale shark by mistake and stories are told of a harpooned fish having by a lighning like dive exhausted the supply of rope which had been accidentally fastened to the boat, dived deeper still and so pulled a prologue and crew to the bottom."

Well, no more can you keep love or light shoes a secret INVENTS TRAIN TRIPPER Priest is Designer of Device to Prevent Wrecks Seeking neither patent nor profit, but offering the work of his ingenuity free, the Rev. Thomas J. Glynn of Beaver Falls, Pa., has invented an automatic device which he says will stop railroad trains whether or not the engine driver sees the signal and without action of either trainmen or towerman. The invention is entirely mechanical, thus differing from the New York subway train stop, which is electrical. It is a steel rod which connects the signal arm with the rail lever and works on the transom lever principle. When the signal arm rises to the danger point it pulls the rail lever to an exposition. Another lever, which is attached to the locomotive, is set in bearings and extends down until it meets the rail lever. It has an arm at right angles with it. When this arm comes in contact with the rail lever it turns the arm on the locomotive lever and causes it to press the valve on the brake. Before he became a priest Father Glynn had ten years' experience in the mechanical departments of the Cambria Steel Works at Johnstown. INVENTS LIFE SAVING BUOY Huge Cylinder Arranged to Carry Many Persons A life saving buoy invented by A. A. Unruh of Portland, Ore, is 9x12 feet in size and resembles a huge can it presents a cylindrical exterior to the water, a conning tower extending from the top above the waves and a ballast tank below holding it upright. Provision is made in each buoy for handling 125 to 150 people. The passengers are arranged in tiers about the inside of the buoy and strapped to their places. Stairways on either side lead from hatches which can be quickly battered down. For the comfort of passengers a toilet compartment is built about the air and water shaft in the center. A small hand operated air pump assists the inflow of air from a valve closed automatically when the water strikes it. Food and drinking water are carried in lockers under each passenger's seat. STARVE IF YOU'D ! IVE LONG Occasional Periods of Fasting Aid the Health, Professor Says Occasional periods of starvation, say once or twice a year, in the case of healthy adult persons, may not only add to the joy of living, but also to the length of life, according to Prof. Anton J. Carlson, hunger expert of the university of Chicago. "Civilized man," he says, "has traveled far from the conditions of life among animals and primitive man with whom starvation periods were and are not uncommon." BEER IS ANALYZED Beverage Usually has 6 Per Cent of Proof Spirit The average quantity of alcohol in beers and ales is thus stated by nature: in light beer of original gravity 1,043 (water equals 1,000) the proportion of alcohol is usually about 6 or 7 per cent of proof spirit. This represents 3 1-3 to 4 per cent of alcohol—that is of ethyl hydroxide, C2 H5 0H, by volume. This estimate is fairly representative of the ordinary lager beer. Light ale and pale ale, with original specific gravity 1,060 to 1,065, contains about 9 to 11 per cent of proof spirit, corresponding with 5 1-4 to 6 1-4 per cent of real alcohol. Heavier beers and stout range from about 1,060 to 1,090 of original gravity these contain from 11 to 14 per cent of proof spirit, or 6 1-4 to 8 per cent of real alcohol. In special strong ale, such as barley wine or "Burton" the original gravity may be more than 1,100 and the amount of proof spirit as much as 29 per cent., or approximately 11 1-2 per cent of alcohol.

MAY YET BE WON BY DEEP SEA DIVERS Improved Outfitte May Enable Men to Invade Ocean Depths Never Before Attempted Must all the millions of dollars that now lie at the bottom of the sea in the form of ships and their sunken treasure be forever lost to the world? Most of the vessels that have been sunk, whether by accident or in the course of the great war lie in comparatively shallow waters, many of them at a depth of less than 300 feet, and the problem of their recovery does not seem entirely hopeless in the ligal of recent improvements in deep sea diving and the feats accomplished by the expert divers of the United States Navy. The matter is the subject of an article in the current number of the bulletin of the Pan-American Union, Washington. In discussing the organization of companies in the United States whose purpose is the recovery of some of the wealth now lying in the ocean's depth, the writer says: "Certain it is that the project of recovering sunken ships, or the most valuable of the treasures that have gone down with them is more feasible now than it was only four or five years ago. Such great improvements in diving apparatus have been made that it is now possible for a diver to operate for a limited time even at the great depth of 300 feet below the surface. These improvements are largely due to the remarkable experiments in deep sea diving conducted under the auspices of the bureau of construction and repair of the Navy department of the United States in 1914. Prior to this time the greatest depth reached by divers was 210 feet, two English officers having accomplished that feat during a series of tests carried on by the British admirality in 1907. For the benefit of those who do not appreciate the difficulty of diving to such depths it may be stated that at a depth of 10 feet below the surface the pressure is 4.33 pounds per square inch of surface of the body submerged. This pressure increases proportionately, and at a depth of 100 feet it has increased to 43.3 pounds and at a depth of 300 feet to 129.5 pounds. "Notwithstanding this tremendous pressure the expert divers of the United States Navy have succeeded in not only reaching a depth of 300 feet to 500 feet but in remaining at that depth for from five to twenty minutes at a time, making examinations in regard to a sunken vessel that made its subsequent salvage possible. This work was done in connection with the raising of the United States submarine F-4 which, it will be remembered, punged to the bottom of the sea just off the harbor of Honolulu on March 25, 1915. Not only did the divers establish a new world's record for deep sea diving upon that occasion, but the subsequent raising and recovery of the F-4 is the only instance in history where a sunken vessel was recovered from a depth of 300 feet." The writer thereupon gives a brief sketch of the history of diving as a useful art from the time of Aristotle down to the present, and after describing a modern diving outfit and explaining in some detail the matter of the diver's being subjected to two pressures, viz. the pressure of the air inside the helmet and suit and the external pressure of the water, continues as follows: "The necessity of having the air pressure within the diving dress compensate the external water pressure, thus subjecting the diver to pressure directly proportioned to the depth to which he descends, is the dangerous element in deep sea diving. At a depth, for instance of 100 feet, a diver must be subjected to a pressure of four atmospheres or 60 pounds per square inch, in order to compensate the external water pressure. Exposure to such pressure is apt to be followed by dangerous physiological effects, commonly known as 'calson disease', the symptoms of which include pains in the muscles and joints, common) called bends, draffness, em arraced breathing, vomiting, fainting, etc., sometimes resulting in death. They do not appear while the pressure is being raised nor so long as it is being continued, but only after it has been removed; and the view now accepted is that they are due to the rapid effervescence of the gases which are absorbed in the body fluids during exposure to pressure. "Experiment has proved that when the pressure is suddenly, relieved the gas is liberated in bubbles within the body, and that these do the harm. Set free in the spinal cord, for instance, they may cause partial paralysis, or in the heart lead to stoppage of the circulation. It has been found however that if the pressure is relieved gradually the bubbles are not formed, because the gas comes out of solution slowly and is got rid of by the heart and lungs. To prevent these effects, the withdrawal of the air pressure—in other words, the decompression—should be slow. Hence the divers ascent must be regulated accordingly, and the deeper he has been the slower and longer must be the periods for decompression. No Encouragement Necessary "Do you believe in encouraging boys to fight?" "No more than in encouraging ducks to swim." Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Leads the Country in Legislation Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race —Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 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 law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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, 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 p. person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the injury, and a sum not to be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children 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, minor children shall be decided among 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 like right of action as one purposely injured 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 any court having original 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 had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such 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 and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or serviced by the persons composing such mob. A person present, 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 on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (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 in regard and regardless of race or color, the number of such accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 recov- ered in the county where 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 that the court is often as they should, but extract it from 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 outcyre for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette 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: Arkron, O. April 25, 1910 My Dear Sir: Observe, O'Gorman, letter in the Beacon-Journal of this city, 1 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, de- cided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. 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. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not oura.—George W. Blount. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." "I honor the man who in the consecration discharge of his duty dares to stand alone, the world, with lament, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenance of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be swearer than the applause of the world, the countenance of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
