Those who think that the Dyer Bill has a ghost of a show of passing at the coming short session of Congress ought to think another think. The supply bills have the right of way at the short session. Besides, there is the possibility of the President presenting his ship-subsidy program and there is talk of his presenting his plan for the Hon. Joseph C. Manning re-organization of the governmental departments. The Dyer bill would disturb the political equanimity and the social equanimity of the Washington atmosphere, and it will not be pressed seriously. No other serious consideration will be given the southern question; either Dyer bill or anything else, at any session in the next few years. The Dyer bill passed the House as a help to get votes and its passage by the Senate has never been seriously considered. It was made to give a showing of life in the Senate when some Republican Senators faced threatening primary elections. The? President is said to favor the Dyer bill. Vice-President Coolidge said he favored it. The Speaker of the House said he fa- SPRINGFIELD. — C. R. Swayne ims gone to Cleveland to deliver a series of lectures.

New York City...Under the title, "By The Black Heartstone." Mr. Archibald Rutledge, (white), a southerner, has the following in the August number of "The Outlook," this city: "I want to bear testimony," says Mr. Rutledge, "that the Afro-American has the grace of heart to be as genuinely courteous as any man who walks the earth. And by courteous I do not mean merely kindly and hospitable. I mean that he can sense the fitness of things and that he knows something of the reticences and the deferences of the heart. I take it that courtesy of this sort is an excitingly authentic sign of character! and I know that I have found high and gentle courtesy in the Afro-American." Mr. Rutledge further assails the caricature of Afro-Americans spread in motion pictures and magazines: "Inevitably he will be shown to be, cowardly, absurd, pilfering, scheming, credulous, preposterous. If the characterizations were truly they might be ludicrous; but nearly all of them are chameleously false. Long have I been amazed that the American public should be for so great a length of time so deeply deluded. The popular idea of the Negro is as menacing to his and to the country's welfare as it is essentially false.

C., an Old Springfield Boy, on "Jim Crow" Schools. Washington, D. C., Oct. 9, 22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry:--I have read with profund pleasure and gratitude your statesmanlike utterances in Springfield, Ohio, against the "jim crow" school and its short-sighted advocates. Certainly no Northern city, where black children are educated with whites, getting the same amount spent upon them for education, should take such a backward step. I will remember the one old school in Pleasant St., for Negro pupils Prof. Neval H. Thomas when I was a boy in Springfield with its inadequate equipment and the hardships it imposed on Negro youth. I well remember its abolition more than thirty years ago and the superior equipment and convenient access to schools we received thereby. May you live long to champion the interests of this suffering people! Prof. Thomas Right in This, Tool Dr. George F. Bockrum. Carnegie Library. Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. Townsend, The local press of Saturday announced of the opening of the 77th mission of the public library training class to be held at the public library beginning Oct. 14th. Its excellent courses are open to high school graduates and cover a period of 10-12 weeks. While positions are not guaranteed in our library, to students completing the course, yet positions are currently filled by graduates in the training course. You further give encouragement to the students in the training course of this excellent opportunity to supplement their education with a professional public expense. This is an excellent opportunity to the public library. But the College is using latest of the community whose students are what parents and who do not have the opportunity to receive their wiser. that the people of the institution are supported by ALL. Of the people once the ultimate conserver in the taxpayer that he is bestowed locally with from any of the people. If any of the people to be served by the colored people feel deeply apprehended that no one of their race is employed in the great public institution. In the Library of Congress they have worked with their white fellow citizens for sixty years, and the service has not suffered one whit by it. If we are to be denied the opportunity to attend the library school, and you are selecting your employees from its list of graduates, what chance has a colored lady ever securing an appointment in this public institution, the common property of the people. It simply means that colored people are taxed for professional training and finer employment of white people, and as chairman of the school committee of the N A A C P I appeal to you to recognize the Negro right to every opportunity and service that the public library of the nation's capital can bestow.

Springfield, O. The sixth week of the fight against the "pim" crowd at Fulton school finds our people as unimpressed and determined as at the beginning. In the last two weeks the attendance has not risen more than while 512 was the last attendance last year, of which fifty were white pupils. On the other hand, students are appearing which show the desperate situation of Supt. McCord and his School board. In a vain effort to break our news and opposition, we are assistant to the truant officer. Class deam, reappeared in the district last Wednesday, but was soon discovered and trailed to the hoop at one of our citizens from whence she a source of some five minutes be sent to Supt. McCord and in the Hark School collection. Monday morning, old iron of a poor family of white people appeared at Fulton school. She was unanimously sequestered to children. These children had not been attending any school with waiting for the Fulton school controversy to be settled and are said by neighbors to be in an indignant condition. Nevertheless, new shoes and clothes suddenly appeared and a spirit to the barber was present at the school. The attendant Fulton school. That family had been visited by her keys and virtually admitted by the woman of the house who said in a court interview that a man in the school board had talked to her children. She also stated that after being indicted by the police for duty at the school, she sent her children to send to Supt. McCord to the attorney to send her children to Highland school where she and her children of that school had been sent by her but was told that they must attend Fulton school. It is reported that they are the children who had been previously away from Fulton school by Principals. Redlock, who has been trying to get to the school, said that she had been indicted and impaired of driving to the education of people and helped to teach the system that is responsible for the poor, murder and abuse of people in the South. She is reckoned unprepared from the face he came to speak to McCord's request. While crowd of people appears to well indicated with the gallons Usual Great Friday Night Meeting Women, fully and truly, and the population was attentive to the rounds of applause of the large crowd that bleed the main floor. Speaking of the Navy in the World War, it was good enough to fight for the flag, our children are too good to set down in a Jim Crow school that segregation is the greatest foe to our progress and a cause of much unpatriotic feeling. Referring to those who favor it because of the money that may come to some he said that segregation may mean dollars in your pocket but hell in your bosom. In communities where regality obtains laws are not evoked with equity particularly in Africa and always in the dead Vintage of the worker element. Where a degree of real democracy and justice prevail as in the North and West we cannot go back where shall be the violation of our rights to emancipation. Nor we must what other rights we take what other rights we have. IN UNION IS STRONG ATE!

The day of the today crowling, hat-in-hand, kicks-pot and Uncle Tom type of leadership is past, that the leader of the future must not only have brains and heart, but also backbone. Declaring that it is impossible to begin "jim crow" schools and got have "jim crow" cars, he stated that we already have enough "jim crow" institutions in Ohio; that "jim crow" grade schools will be followed by "jim crow" High Schools and finally the doors of colleges will be closed against our youth and they limited to Negro schools. Our children should be schooled in America and Americans, not in "jim crow" schools, he said, and that notwithstanding his profession as a minister, he would rather "have hell on an equality basis than heaven on servility and jim crowism". He added we have paid too much for our liberty to have it taken away by demagogues. At the close of the address a collection of $110.77 was taken. Atty. Sully E. Jaymes also spoke. Altogether, it was one of the best and most enthusiastic meetings the C.R.P. League has had. The Civic League's Encouragement The pickets are still on the march with the same firm determination they started with. Paid agents are going the rounds of the school district trying in vain to get our parents to send their children to the school. We are ever on the short and make it so warm for them that they soon will hide their faces in shame. To show that we are gaining ground, The Club League, an organization of white burgees men, has sent us word that it is with us and will do all in its power to help us win our fight for our constitutional rights that people are determined tobury that "Jim Brown" school in children and in the future mothers will point with pride to the victory achieved by the Civil Rights Protests League of this city. McCord Growing Desperate. McCord has resorted to another contemptible trick in order to continue his efforts to beat the impatient case which is to be heard in court on Oct. 21. The police department keeps an officer stationed around the Fulton district school during school hours. It is said that the teachers in the school school are not present. But the officer left his office Monday, long enough to allow the white children to attend the school. This is a concession of weakness on the part of McCord and his first crowd school supporters that all should note that he would attend after the teachers were evening and take them to the homes in order to have them the pickets. The parents of white children, in the school Ward were waited on by some of the lady pickets and the latter were assured that the children would be withdrawn. The police will trail our leaders. They followed (in care) several who attended a little committee meeting last week at headquarters. They want to stop our picketing the first crowd school. Getting Ready for Winter. We are preparing for the winter. Gas stoves are being installed at headquarters, women are getting rubber boots and they "swear by all the gods" that they are just as willing to die defending their rights in the rain and mud on Dubert Ave. as our boys in the treasures of France were "to make this country safe for democracy." Our pickets are increasing in number, new ones falling in line every day. A committee of ladies serve dinner every Tuesday, to the pub and people come from far and close to get a real meal. Last week the pickets were donated to the charity. They shared $41. Berber J Hickey 2UBLISHED EVERY SATURDA SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) We Eg asc n co urea SEO.

OCTOBER 14, 1922 WHAT KICK? ‘The New York World (Dem.) complains because a lot of {m- porters of foreign goods had to pay into the United States Treasury thousands of dollars in duties on goods that came in on the day after President Harding signed the new Republican tariff bill. Well, since the Democrats always protess to be for a tariff for revenue, what is the World kicking about? I Harding’s prompt signing of the pill took a few hundred thousands of dollars out of the pockets of the foreign importers, and put 1 Into the treasury, there are a lot ‘of us who will applaud his read!- ness to sign the bill at the first op- portunity. le WOMEN IN PRODUCTION. ‘There are more than a million and a quarter women engaged: in producing commodities in the United States—most of which com- modities must be sold in competi- tion with similar goods produced in foreign countries. The Demo- erats want American women to compete on an equality with for- eign women. The Republican Con- gress repudiated that doctrine when it imposed an import duty high enough to give the American work- er a fair margin of protection due to the higher standards of living in this country. We sues that when American women go to the polls in November, they will vote to approve the Republican policy: —Hiliii— THR THINGS THEY. OPPOS “The Democratic candidates are opposed to the things that have been done at Washington,” says a Democratic paper, urging its readers to vote the Democratic ticket, Well, now let’s see some of the things that were done and to which the Democratic candidates ‘are opposed. Here they are: Reduction of $80,000,000 a year in Federal taxes. Reduction of $1,330,000,000 in the interest bearing debt. Enactment of an emergency agricultural tariff. Revival of the war finance cor- poration for ald of farmers. Return to an “America first” tariff policy. Reduction in naval strength by international agreement. ‘Those are some of the things to which the Democratic candidates are opposed. =i “PLAYING WITH THE FIRE.” Our people of Pittsburg are quietly submitting to the establish ment of a ‘jim crow” Y. M.C. A. there, which was promoted by the “Colored Men's Department of the Y. M,C. A, New York City.” It was doubtless promoted by Dr. J B, Moorland, sentor secretary of the department. And yet our peo- ple of that city wonder why they can not get teachers in the mixed schools of Pittsburg and direct rep- resentation in the Pennsylvania Assembly, from Pittsburg. There are few things that contribute more to the prejudice of a community than a “jim crow” ¥. M. C. A. ot Y. W. ©.

Our contemporaries will please note the folowing: This week, we jn common’ with others received from an advertising agency check for $2 which the agency sent to cover the cost of a 33-word liner- eAvertisement to be set in “10 point black face type” and carried to Jan, 1, 1923, eleven weeks or Publications. Of course we sent It back to them, as we have many others of the kind in the past. Some of our contemporaries sub- mit to this sort of thing from ad- vertising agencies and ought to stop it as a matter of fairness and jus- tice to themselves. The advertis- ing. agencies see to it that they are well paid for all such adver. tising and perhaps ought nat to be blamed for taking advantage of race publications foolish and weak enough to submit to such gros unfairness. it— THE ANTL-BONUS LEAGUE The ex-service men's anti-bonus league has been organized with the announced purpose of combating all propaganda and attempted legisla- tion to pension or give a bonus to veterans who are physically and mentally uninjured. It has been well known that the move for a soldiers’ bonus did not by any means have the unanimous support of the ex-service men themselves. Hundreds. of-letters have been ré- ceived by Members of Congress protesting against the grant of the bonus to those not afflicted with disabilities. The new anti-bonus league is the organized expression of that sentiment among the yet- erans. It wil! stimulate the increas- ing opposition to the bonus, and probably end forever the agitation in favor of tt. REFUNDING NEGOTIATIONS RESUMED. With the return of Secretary Hughes from Brazil, the foreign debt refunding commission has re- sumed its negotiations with the debtor countries. It is understood that arrangements with Great Brit- ain will be first completed, atter which the debt of France and other countries will be faken up in the order of their importance. On Oct. 15, $65,000,000 interest on the British debt falls ‘due, and Nov. 15, $35,000,000 more becomes pay- able. The British negotiators have suggested that a payment of $50,- 00,000 be accepted on the tor- mer date, pending a readjustment of the interest charge according to the terms of the resolution creating the refunding commission. The promisory notes held by the Treas- ury call for a rate of 5 per cent, but Congress permitted the refund- ing commission to cut the rate to 4% per cent, the same as the average rate paid on Liberty Bonds. SHOULD ACT? ‘The local branch of the N. A. A. ©. P. ought to take some action in the case of its president, At torney Wm, R. Green, and the Wm. Taylor, Son & Co., of two weeks ago. Green claims he was not per. mitted to try on a hat that he wished to purchase in that stor¢ and when he took the matter up with Manager DeAker, he was bluntly told that that was the pol- Hey of the store, This is some thing new in Cleveland, altho we understand it is not new in the southland. Surely, President Green and the local branch of the N. A A. ©. P. are not going to quietly submit to any thing of that kind, with both the law of the state and the sentiment of the community against it, Our people of Cleve- land have contributed freely, giv- Ing thousands of their hard-earned dollars to the local branch of the No A.

P., and there are many of them who feel that the organization should make some showing, here at home, of material benefit to them, even if it does cost a little money, If the stand of Manager DeAker, of the Wm. Taylor, Son & Co., as quoted by Mr. Green fs correct, a principle of vital interest to the progress of those of the race in\this community, is being violated and if not elimi- nated promptly will be followed by other large stores of the city, with the result that it will not be tong until Cleveland will, be as bad as some southern cities in at least this one respect.

CHILDERS’ FINE REPORT ‘To the Annual Conference Broke All Local Records—Returned for Another Year. DAYTON, O.—Rey. 0. W. Child- ers, pastor of Baker St. A. M.-E. church, this city, who came here from a charge in Cleveland several years ago, went to annual confer- ence, last week, with the best re- port ever submitted by that chureh. During the year almost $10,000 has been raised by pastor and members. More than $700 was raised for Wil- berforce university, and the “dollar money” passed the 200 mark. Dur- ing his threesyears’ pastorate, Rev. Childers has taken in 300 new mem- bers and placed the church on a firm financial basis, The crowning act of his work here, however, was the purchase for $10,000 of the property at Fifth and Banks streets where the new church will be erect- ed. Plans are being drawn for the erection of an $80,000 edifice. The ‘building fund and property now owned by the church amounts to $25,000. Besides its spiritual work one of the missions of the new church will be to raise the educa- tional standard of Dayton through co-operating with Wilberforce unt- versity in extension work. All, re- gardless of denomination, are deeply interested in the splendid religious and educational institution to be erected in our most appropriate cen- ter of the city. THE GLOBE, NEXT WEEK.

Laying Pavement Over Half of Roadbed at One Time, Leaving Other Half Open to Traffic. Elimination of the "detour bogey," the bane of every touring motorist's life, is seen as the successful outcome of recent experiments in what may be termed "split crown" construction of concrete roads. The new method lies simply in laying paving over but half of the roadbed at one time, keeping the remaining half open to traffic as the work progresses. This method has been found particularly effective in rough and hilly country where detours are practically impossible, but urgent appeals from automobile owners who have experienced the torture of touring by night, may bring it into general use. Co-operation Essential. Careful co-operation between the motoring public and the contractor is, however, essential. By stationing responsible guards at each end of the open strip, traffic may be sent over the route, first in one direction and then in the other, without danger. Great care must be exercised by the contractor in order to avoid settlement of dust particles on the freshly-laid paving. In order to insure the proper curing of the concrete it is necessary that he keeps the unimproved side of the road well sprinkled at all times. Failure to do this would cause cracking in the concrete, might cause "scaling" in later years. Following the completion of the MESSAGES FROM OUTER WORLD METEORS REVERED AS HOLIEST OF RELICS IN ORIENT Largest Known Is That Brought From Greenland by Peary—Weighs 73,000 Pounds In considering the wonders of the universe, have you ever realized how conspicuous among them are the meteorites, those wonderful messages, dropped from the sky for us to wonder at and study? They are the only material objects which come to the earth from the vast outdoor world. Among the collections shown in the new building of the National Museum, at Washington, D. C., is a remarkably fine exhibit of meteorites. It includes complete meteorites ranging in size from the merest pebbles to great bowler-like masses, and casts reproducing giant forms like that of Baculirito, which has been estimated to weigh twenty five tons, and still resists where it fell in Mexico. The National Museum has recently issued a handbook and descriptive catalog of the meteorite colections in the Museum, written by Dr. George P. Merrill, head curator of geology, from which the following is an abstract: Altho meteorites persumably have fallen since time immemorial, skepticism was felt at first by both popular and scientific minds regarding the possibilities of stones falling from space. So great was this skepticism that the examples preserved in the public museums were once hidden or discarded, the custodians fearing to make laugh stock of themselves. In the few early recorded cases where meteorites seen to fall were recovered, they were regarded as objects of reverence and worship. A stone which fell in ancient Phrygia in Asia Minor, about two hundred years before Christ, was worshipped as Cybele, the mother of the gods. Another, which dates back to the seventh century, still preserved at Mecca, where it is built into the northeast corner of the Kalvaba and revered as one of the holiest of relics. The great Cassas Grande iron, weighing about 3,000 pounds, now in the national collections at Washington, was found in an ancient Mexican rule swathed with mummy clothes in a manner to indicate that it was held in more than ordinary veneration by the prehistoric inhabitants. The earliest known undoubted meteorites still preserved are those of Elbogen, Bohemia, and Ensisheim, Upper Alsace, Germany; the first mentioned is iron, the second a stone. The iron was found somewhere about the year 1400 of our era, but its meteoric nature seems not to have been fully established until 1812. It has, however, for several hundred years been preserved in the Rathhaus at Elbogen. In 1794 the German scientist Chlad In 1794 the German scientist Chladi brought together all the accounts first section of paving. it must be permitted to harden under expert "curing" supervision for at least 30 days. At the end of this period it may then be opened to traffic while work is be gun upon the second strip. Two Principal Virtues. Although a slight increase in original cost may be charged against this method, it has two principal virtues which command it to the taxpayer and the motorist alike. Doing away as it does with the detour, it cuts cost of motor operation more than half aside from the big item of decreased danger and loss of time and patience. Secondly, it eliminates the cross-wise cracks which appear in some hard-surface roads through letting down of the grading after the paving is completed. The joint where the two sides come together leaves an almost imperceptible line in the exact center of the roadway. This is known as a construction joint and allows just sufficient "play" to oblate the chance that imperfect grading or poor designing on the part of the contractor might result in unsightly cracks. The accompanying illustration shows this system in use in Litchfield county, Connecticut, in footballs of the Berkshires, where it is reported to be "holding up" under the most severe traffic conditions. of the supposed meteorites, calling the attention of the scientific world to the fact that several masses of iron had in all probability come to the earth from the outer space. He referred especially to the now well-known Pallas iron, which was found by a Cossack in 1749 among the rocks in the highest part of a lofty mountain near Krasnojarsk, in Siberia. Chladni negued that this iron could have been formed only under the influence of fire, and held that it could not have formed where found, or by man, electricity, or an accidental conflagration. Hence, he inferred that it had been projected from a distance, and as there were no volcanoes known to eject iron, and none in that vicinity, he was compelled to regard it as actually to have fallen from the sky. Reports of the setting of fires by the falling of meteorites must also be taken with some degree of allowance in the cases of both Allegan and Winnebago falls, the stones struck on the dried grass, which was not charred in the least, and one of them fell on a stack of dry straw without igniting it. The possibility of human beings and animals being struck by these falling bodies has been discussed and several instances dating back to periods from 1511 to 1674 are mentioned in which persons were killed. The absence of and recorded instances of this sort within more recent times, however renders the occurrences doubtful Upwards of 650 falls and finds of meteorites have been reported, representatives of which have found their way into museums and private collections, and there preserved for study and investigation. The largest known meteoric mass is that brought by Commander Peary from Cape York, Greenland; this weighed 73,000 pounds. The next largest lies in the plain near Bacubrito, in Mexico, and has been estimated to weigh some 50,000 pounds, while the third is that of Wilamette, Ore., weighing 31,107 pounds. These are all iron meteorites. The largest known individual asterite of meteoric stone is that of Knyahinya, Hungary, weighing some 550 pounds, now in the Vienna National Museum. Doctor Merrill says in conclusion that all known meteorites were produced by the action of heat, and have yielded no traces of animal or vegetable life, altho parts of the peculiar structure were at one time mistaken for organic remains. LIFE IN MEXICO Mexico, with irrigation and industrial development, could support a population greater than that of the United States, some say twice as great but it has barely, 15,000,000 inhabitants. A territory roughly similar in size and shape to that part of this country east of the Mississippi from New Orleans and St. Louis and a line drawn northeast from St. Louis to Lake Erie is occupied by fewer persons than there are in New York and Pennsylvania. The inhabitants can be divided into three divisions—the people of Spanish descent, those of combined European and native races, and the pure blooded Indians. These bare facts would in them selves, to any thoughtful person, ex plain many of the social and political troubles of Mexico, a writer in the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., OCTOBER 14, 1922 Philadelphia Ledger observes. Add to them the fact that most of the 6,000,000 Indians have all the ignorance and semi-civilized vices of the Indians who slew Custer and his men and few of the savage virtues of primitive Indians; that they are dominated by a class that by race and instinct takes aristocratic ideas for granted and owns most of the land, and that between the two there is a mixed race composed of all gradations of mixed blood and a prey to all vicious caste feelings which go with the sensitiveness and exaggerated pride of those who are not pure blood in a country where pure blood counts for so much and you have what is more like a calderon than a melting pot. The pure white stock is probably not more than 10 per cent of the whole, while the mestizos, or mixed race are about half the population. The upper class Mexicans, like the Peruvians and other Spanish Americans, pride themselves on their unmixed white descent and strive to preserve this condition. This is the "color line" and the term "india" still expresses something of contempt, notwithstanding the fact that some of the prominent men of Mexico's history have been drawn from the mestizo class, and in the case of Jaurez from pure aboriginal stock. In ordinary times the foreign element numbers about 60,000, Spaniards predominating with about 16,000 and Americans numbering about 15,000. The British number about 3,000, the French about 4,000 and the Germans, 3,000. The mestinos shade off into the peon class, in which most of the Indians are—the great working class. The peons live by sufferance upon the soil which was wrested from their forbears by the white men. Enormous landed estates are held—indeed, in Chihuahua the largest single estate in the world exists. The population on the soil scarcely reaches twenty persons to the square mile, principally rural or inhabiting small towns, and there is ample room therefore for expansion in every locality. The Mexican character must be summed up as that of a people in the making, Imagine a United States of America, in which the mutilated, quadroons, octoons and negroes formed 90 per cent of the population. There is no analogy to be drawn between the Indian and negro stock in this application of the principle beyond the observation of ethnologists that the offspring of different races are an unstable and incomplete factor. And this is stamped on the average Mexican physiognomy. Some times a high intelligence runs riot and an idealism un tempered by sobriety—perhaps in one man will be some of the best blood in Europe mingled with the ferocity of the Apache. But such things mark a people not decadent, but evolving. The upper class Mexican is a well-educated man of the world. His wealth has permitted him to be educated abroad, preferably in Paris, that Mecca of Spanish Americans. The Mexican gentleman is courteous and punctilious, gives much attention to dress and ceremony, and the frock coat and high silk hat form his indispensable dress whenever possible. The Mexican shares the spirit of hospitality of other Spanish Americans and has a chivalrous idealism which approaches Quixotism. Trembling on the verge of two races his eyes look toward the Spain of his ancestors, and the fact that his pride is pointedly shown to be in some respects mere vanity in view of his many failures only makes that pride more imperious. It is this that makes Carranza, for instance, a man of the old Spanish stock, hate the "gronges." Mexicans of his type really think they are the superiors of Americans and that they cannot prove it by facts only increases their sensitive vanity. These traits make their appearance in the characteristic Mexican pomposity and grandiloquence. He is not content to call himself a progressive or a conservative—he must call himself a "Clentifico," a scientific man. He does not speak of improvements he has instituted—he must speak of "an era of glorious progress" whenever a cornerstone is laid. Knowledge is always "profound knowledge." There is something important to be learned from this. Many are asking now, "How can puny Mexico dare for a moment to think of defying us? Well, many in 1898 said the same thing about Spain. But proud Spain defied us. And Spanish Mexico, ten times prouder than Spain and on the whole a more difficult proposition for us, is perfectly in character in defying us.

My wife's so afraid of contagion she's sent her dog out to board till the danger is past. A. Valn Chase Dumas, the younger, was talking with a friend when a would-be humorist went by. "Poor fellow, remarked the friend, "he is always on a chase after a joke." "Yes," answered Dumas, "and the joke always wins." INVENTIONS BY WOMEN MANY ACCORDING TO HISTORY AND PATENT OFFICE RECORDS Devices by Men are More Numerous Because they are Closer to Materials. We are Told Why don't women invent things to facilitate woman's work? It is one of the questions we were all brought up on. And the answer is: They do. And what's more, they always have. Did you know that in primitive times it was a woman who invented and built the first house? That she was the first agriculturist? First in the art of* healing? First to discover fire? Did you ever go to the patent office in Washington and learn that women have patented every sort of article from curling irons and cook stoves to warships, reaping and moving machines, improvements for loco motives, sewing machines and type writers; that they have made filters, shoulder braces, exercising devices, toys and musical instruments—and that a wife who disliked swearing made the first patent collar button. A man for example, is employed in a factory where emery wheels are used. He sees the necessity for protection from the flying dust and he has a hunch that he can fix it. So right then and there he takes the materials he has at hand in the factory, applies the principle of suction that he sees 'in use all around him—no need for him of a college course to find out about that—and presto! an invention whereby the dust is eliminated at its source and carried away thru pipes, which does away with the need of masks and goggles. And the woman? She moves from her house in a small town into a New York flat; and she looks around and says: "What shall I do with my hats?" Every woman wonders what to do with them, and usually it stops with that—for surely architects never think of them. But there is, one woman who didn't stop with wondering. She is Mrs. Julia C. Phillips, and she answers the question herself. "I must have an invisible ward be," she said. And then she went to work and made one. "How did I solve the problem?" says Mrs. Phillips. "Well you know we'll sometimes shove something under the bed—a handbox that has just come home and won't go on a shelf, or a shoe box with tissue paper sticking antidially out of it and gathering dust—and we do it shamefully because it really isn't legitimate housekeeping. But I figured that there are thirty thousand cubic inches and more going to waste under every bed—with architects are losing sleep trying to save one inch of space. "So I decided to make it legitimate to stow things under the bed. The result is my invisible wardrobe. It's really a drawer that pulls on ball bearings in and out of a metal frame; it dustproof and easy to reach, and it is several inches above the floor, so as to permit sweeping under it. And I will hold hats and coats and dresses—anything and lots of it." Perhaps the greatest boon to wo nnakind is an inventive by two si sers, Mildred and Katherine Kelle of Passiac. It is—but wait. Do you know how you feel when you arrive anywhere all puffy and hot and you know your nose is shiny and you can't retire to dull it up, and your nailently modest forbids you to pow der it in public? Well, then, wouldn't you just fall around the neck of the woman who came to your rescue with a handkerchief with a puff in its mid dle all neatly concealed from view? You pretend to have a cold and, sur repitiously you powder the shiny, slippery thing and lo! you have ac quired your respectability once more. There is a small flat pocket in the center of the handkerchief which con tains a puff, sanitary, changeable washable, into which you can put your own favorite kind of powder which percolates gently thru the sur face of the material. Dr. William H. Tolman, head of the Museum of Safety, gives credit to women for their age old task of saving lives that men destroy. "We are especially interested here at course, in hygienic and safety devices," he says; "and we find women more prolific in ideas about them than men are. McArthur's portable fire escape, for instance—the best on the market—was the result of a mother's fear that her daughter, an actress would be burned in some small town's primitive hotel. "Then there is the Cornella Chadwick carrier stretcher, which permits the patient to be placed in a sitting posture and taken up and down ladders and precipices and the sides of ships with a minimum of discomfort it fastens to the bodies of the carriers and leaves them both hands free for climbing." And, by the way, we hear a lot about a person called Eve, who created the first need of clothes. But at least if it was a woman who created the demand for them it was a woman, too—if we believe what ancient history tells us—who invented the loom and distaff with which to make them. Wasn't that atonement! First Business Man—I hear your new manager's a hustler. Second Business Man—Yes, thank goodness. He hasn't got time to grumble.—London Answers. EVEN THE TINY ARE STRONG Shetland Ponies Willing and Able to Do Good Work Under the Right Conditions. There is something startling about seeing Shetland ponies working. At least, two of them have regular jobs. They do not serve as mounts for children, nor do they pull pony pleasure carts around the block. They put in the day at hard labor. One of them pulls an express wagon, the other a small-sized garbage cart. To see them trudging under the tracks of the elevated trains, pulling a load among truck horses that seem three times their size, is apt to give a soft-hearted citizen a jolt and make him wonder in a vague disconnected manner about the child labor law, remarks the New York Sun. At his well-meaning notions of protest those who know Shetlands will laugh. Few horses are as strong for their size as a full-grown Shetland. When a vehicle is built to suit their size they are perfectly able to work and are, moreover, most of them, endowed with a temper that makes it virtually impossible to impose upon them or to force them to do any more work than they want to. High Cost of Failure In his book, "The Evolution of Medicine," Sir William Osler quotes a bit of the ancient Hammurabi code thus: "If a doctor has treated a gentleman for a severe wound with a bronze lancet and has cured the man, or has opened an abscess of the eye for a gentleman with the bronze lancet and has cured the eye of the gentleman, he shall take 10 shekels of silver. "If the doctor has treated a gentleman for a severe wound with a lancet of bronze and has caused the gentleman to die, or has opened an abscess of the eye for a gentleman and has caused the loss of the gentleman's eye one shall cut off his hands." Ancient Roman Empire. The Roman empire during the reign of Augustus is supposed to have contained 100,000,000 inhabitants, half of whom were slaves. It included the modern countries of Portugal, Spain France, Belgium, western Holland Rhenish Prussia, parts of Baden Wurtenburg and Bavaria, Switzerland Italy, the Tyrol, the former Austrian empire proper, western Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia, Turkey in Europe Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine Egypt, Tripoll, Tunis, Algeria and most of Morocco.

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. (98 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disabled person receiving it from earning a severed body by manual labor.

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.

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.

Such sum will be limited 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 or minor children be no widow or minor children shall be distributed 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.

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 ed. representative of victim of lynchingury by mob trying to lynch another costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. 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: General Code of Ohio Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor high school teacher 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 accommodation, and impurities thereof shall be fined not more 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 imprisoned 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, and we should 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 ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Garette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was being diluted from amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Cleveland, O. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. Mear 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 seb 3, last, containing the opinion of the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, clipped in Akron, 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. --- 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 them, they will be governed as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not oura—George W. Blount. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent.
