SOUTH CALLED TO WAR:
Methodist Women Demand Mot
Violence be Blotted Out—Planning
South-Wide Campaign
Authorities, Pulpit, Press and
People Called Upon to
Unite.
Atlanta Ga. A movement to enlist the 25000 organized women of the Southern Methodist church in a determined and systematic campaign for the suppression of lynching was launched here last week. A large group of representative women (white) from their own states, all of them officials of the Woman's Missionary Council, or Conference Social Service Superintendents met at the call of the Race Relations Commission of the Council, spent three days in conference and the commission issued a vigorous address to the public relative to the lynching evading upon the authorities of the several states and countries for its complete suppression and upon the citizens, the public and the press for their united support to this day. The effect of the lower Antitraching bell was used to give point to their utterance. They for their pledged themselves individually and in an official capacity a response to the social service leadership of the organized Methodist women, in a persistent campaign for state laws and for law information. Details of the plan are already being worked out. Their statement follows.
"Where is the definite of the lower antitraching bell, which provided for the federal control of lynching, has thrown the whole responsibility back upon each state for removing this hideous crime there-fore.
The it resolved, that we, the Commission on Race Relations of the Woman's Missionary Council, Methodist Episcopal church South, the conference social service superintendents, and other officers in conference in Atlanta, Dec. 4-6, do draw mind of the authorities or the several states that they make good their claim proving their competency to abolish mob violence and lynching.
That we assume our response is sufficient for the protection of human life and hereby call upon all the people of all the States, upon the pulpit and upon the prairie to join in an insistent and persistent audition against this criminal practice.
That we formulate plans for an organized movement in behalf of domestic state laws and law enforcement."
TINKHAM "SCORES BIG."
Hits the South a "Daisy" in a Letter to President Harding—More Power to Him!—American Negro Academy Meet.
tive Tinkham, of Massachusetts, has made public a letter to President Harding commanding his reference in his message to Congress to "wide-spread disrespect for law as exemplified by defiance of the eight-tenth amendment," and suggesting that all parts of the constitution "be enforced equally and impartially."
With the greatest respect Mr. Tinkham wrote, may I draw your attention to the fact that, whereas the eight-tenth amendment is pursued in the constitution to enforce the protection of the four freedoms of speech, religion, and property, it is not enforced equally and impartially.
Mr. Tinkham has said with frank and with pride that he has made a significant contribution to the development of the Constitution and its implementation.

Time Springfield's Civic Organizations Were "Taking A Hand" To Stop It Another Great Court Victory Thirty two Cases Won Wonderful Women Pickets Great Work of Attorneys Jaymes, Daniels and McCormick.
Special to The Gazette
Springfield 9. With the return by the jury at noon Friday of a verdict of not guilty in the case of Walden Barley, charged with rioting the thirty-one other similar cases and be hanged by Police. The jury after Justice Ackman All had entered into a court of last甘量. The police and jury declarated and adjourned the trial. The other rioting cases were notified according to an agreement that if a conviction was not held on the Barley case, the other cases should be dismissed. With this verdict and the dismissal of the Barley case, all cases tried in police court following the trouble at Walden school, Nov. 7, have been disposed of. In the affidavit against Barley he was charged with rioting onto the running board of an assemblage in which teachers and the principal of the gym class. Fulton school were riding, and with attacking the ompans. The prosecution brought in witnesses to testimony that Barley was the man seen on the running board and that he struck at the occupants. The defense, while admitting that Barley jumped, on the arry denied that it was with any attempt at assault, and that there had been an assembling partner to form a riot. On the jury were three Afro-Americans and nine white men. Attys. Suily Jaymes G. W. Brendels and Thos McCorrunk knocked out Police Prosecutor Justin Altson, in the first round.

Those who attended the meeting of the Civil Rights Protective League, last Friday evening, received another intellectual and oratorial treat. In keeping with the policy of the League in securing the best speakers possible, we were favoured at our last meeting, in hearing as speaker Thomas J. McCormick, the well known Irish attorney of this city. He has been associated with the League's attorney in defending the so-called riot cases in Police Court in which the rendered invaluable service which is all very much appreciated. Attty, Terry W. Daniels, who introduced Mr. McCormick, paid high tributes to his friendliness and fairness. Special mention was made of his reception by Mr. McCormick upon his arrival in the city as a young attorney. Attention was also called to the fact that Mr. McCormick, a member of St. Raphael's Catholic church belonged to the only Christian denomination in the U.S. which made any effort to express the spirit of Christian brotherhood without regard to race or color. Mr. McCormick, began his speech by referring to the trial in the so-called riot cases in which he said the fundamental of government were on trial. Continuing he said that it is the duty of every member of the race to help every other member trying to rise in the world. We were addressed that our progress in securing our civil and political rights depends almost altogether on our own efforts, and that so astonished we have become to looking to others for assistance that we overlook the fact that our vote is the balance and deciding power in elections; also that we should take things for granted and should strive for what is due us, and that we could accomplish much if we only would get together. Commenting on the recent election, the speaker told of the surprise of St. Democratic Chairman Durbis at the result in this, Clark county, which was attributed to our voters who revolted against the arrogant
militating local Republican ma-

other parts of the state. He said

DECEMBER 23, 1922
The fight for laws against mot violence and lynch-murder MUST be made in the several states. Note what is said in our Atlanta (Ga.) letter elsewhere in this paper. We have been for years trying to impress this fact upon our people. Indeed, it was what impelled us, twenty-six years ago, to introduce and secure the enactment of what is now our Ohio anti-lynching law.
It Editor Ben, J. Davis of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent ever learns how much is paid in salaries to DuBois, Johnson, White, Pickens, Bagnell and one or two more "secretaries" of the N. A. A. C. P., he will think that "queer", too. It makes one "shiver" when he thinks of the thousands of dollars that organization has literally "filtered" away in the last three or four years in salaries and in chasing "shadows" of one kind and another. These later were at times only excuses to raise more money from our hard-working people, particularly.
The editor of The Gazette is indebted to James Elmer Harvey of Sharline Heights (near Youngstown) for a copy of the December issue of "The Silent Partner," a publication characterized as "more than a magazine—an institution of inspiration and service." It was our first Christmas present, this year. Thank you kindly, Friend Harvey.
St. Louis and Washington, D. C. Afro-Americans presented Georges Clemenceau with beautiful and costly floral gifts while those of Indianapolis gave him an expensive silver loving cup a foot high on an ebony base. With the cup went an address praising Clemenceau and France for their fair treatment of our soldiers during the World War. Good!
NEW AND BETTER LEADERSHIP.
A. D. Male, of Mosopotamia, O., returned home via Cleveland, Friday, from Columbus, and West Mansfield, where he visited a daughter. He called at The Gazette sanctum and said that he found the "faithful" (state officeholders) at Columbus preparing to "walk the plank" soon after the first of the year, and that Gov-elect Vic Donahay was "on the ground" selecting his cabinet-offers. There are only a few Afro-American job-holders under Gov. Harry L. Davis. Indeed, this is one of the many reasons so many of our voters in Ohio failed to support the Republican state and many local tickets, this fall, and helps to explain the defeat of our candidate for governor and many local Republican candidates. Ohio Republican leaders, who still persist in refusing to give Ohio Afro-American Republicans the recognition due them, should be deposed and broader-minded, more sensible and loyal leaders selected to replace them, if the party is to succeed in this
state in the future. Our voters' patience has been worn out. President Harding and U. S. Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, the "Buckeye" state's two most conspicuous, most important and greatest interested Republicans should take a hand in this reconstruction and at once. Another year of the present leadership and it will be too late!
'RAH! FOR HARNEY.
Of course we are all very proud of Patrolman Harrison Harney, World War veteran and a member of the Cleveland police force for less than half a year, who made the first "clean-up" of local drug-store robbers in recent months, and there have been more than a score of such crimes committed in that time. He shot one almost to death and wounded another. There were four, three of whom were captured by Harney and other officers who arrived on the scene, the Carnegie Drug store, 3546 Carnegie Ave. soon after he had done the shooting, last week Friday night. The daily papers gave Harney full credit for his meritorious work, and Chief Graul, Director of Police Martinec and Mayor Kohler all publically commended him, particularly the first two. Here is what they said in one local daily paper:
Chief Graul: "Very nice work, Harney's a real policeman and he knows what a policeman is for. He did his job intelligently and did it well."
"He did a fine piece of work and we're mighty proud of him," Safety Director Martinee said. Saturday, Patricia Harney did his plain, simple duty, as all other policemen should do," was Mayor Kobler's comment.
Yes, Mr. Mayor, that is true. But, O. how very few of them have been able to, for one reason and another? We have a good police and many good policemen of course, but after all is said and done, very few Harneys, it seems.
NO FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING LAW.
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. DECEMBER 23. 1922
interest of our iner-state passengers that would redound to that organization's everlasting credit and be a great boon to all of our people who travel from one state to another in the southland. The Gazette some years ago tried to get the management of the N. A. A. C. P. to see this and act upon it—but in vain as usual. This would be doing something, win or lose, which is not true of chasing a federal anti-lynching "shadow" as was the case with the Dyer bill.
BURNING REAL MONEY
Current rumor has it that Garrett Morgan sank over eight thousand dollars in trying to publish the Cleveland Call and that Dr. E. J. Gregg lost over $1200. There are others, according to the same rumors. Dr. Gregg was not connected with the Call-Ohio Pioneer, many months. A score or more persons in this city lost money in the many times defunct Cleveland Advocate. The fact is, there is no field in Cleveland for two race papers! All ought to recognize this fact now in the light of the failure here of eighteen attempts, in the last twenty-five or thirty years, to publish a second, and even a third, occasionally, at the same time. There is no better business in the world in which to burn, and quickly, too, real money (lots of it) than the newspaper business, especially when those engaged in it do not know the business but do think so because they have at some time or other written a little, or more, for some newspaper or newspapers. A journalist or newspaper writer is not always a good business man by a good deal. It will be well to remember this. Then, too, the idea that we can do anything any other member of the race, or any one else can do, simply because we think so, does not always work out that. The other fellow may have learned the business. It will do no harm, we feel sure, to remember this, also. Persistent rumor, last and this week, couples the name of Secretary H. S. Chauney and other officers of the Empire Savings & Loan Company with an attempt to either resurrect and republish one of the two latest defunct local race papers, or to start a new one. This is to be regretted, if true. We give little credence to the report because we believe the officers of that young business venture have better sense than to become entangled in any such a notoriously losing venture. Nothing so quickly and so surely robs an organization like a savings company of the confidence of people than such a foolish move. Once the Empire Savings and Loan Company loses, even in part, the full confidence of our people of this community, that day dates the beginning of its end. Secretary Chauney and the officers and many of the stockholders must know this and know it will hardly make so serious a mistake. That is why we do not fully credit the report that he was "messed up" in any such foolish move. For years there has been a little clique of "Negroes" (most of them W. M. N.'s) in this city who have wanted to dominate "The Old Reliable" Gazette and because we would not permit them to do so have done their utmost in an effort to harm this paper in every way they could. Encouraging the guile to start a race paper in Cleveland was but one of the ways. Another was starting an occasional "damage" law-suit, or five at one fell swoop, as was the case several years ago. Of course they lost all of them, and there were many. Instead of being loyal to the race and its business enterprises and helping to make The Gazette a better paper by increasing its business all they could, they took just the other course, with the result already made clear. Now then, all these 50 or more years we have said little or nothing, certainly not as much all together as we have already written in this leader. But it is going to be very different in the future, we assure all. Those who persist, in the future, in trying to harm "The Old Reliable" we going to be given just what they deserve as a result of their knocking" proclivities and activities. We shall give them a taste of their own medicine.

Sikir's Frame-Up Story.
Paris, France, Dec. 19.—A close study of the film of the Carpenteri-Sikir fight shows that Francois Descamps, manager of the French boxer, went to Sikir's corner in the fourth round and said something to Hellers, the Senegalese's manager, according to a story printed by L'Auto today. The journal recalls that according to Sikir's allegations it was in the fourth round that it was arranged for him to allow himself to be beaten. Vice-President Bourbart of the boxing federation, in an interview with L'Auto, said that for the manager of one boxer to talk to the manager of another while a bout was in progress was a very serious thing. The journal adds that as the federation's investigating committee has also seen the film it will no doubt draw its own conclusions. It certainly looks as if Sikir's story of a frame-up that he balked, is true.
Signs Trust Deed For $100,000
Richmond, Va.—In order to protect the depositors of the now defunct Mechanics Savings Bank, Editor John Mitchell of The Planet, former president, has signed a trust deed for $100,00 in favor of the bank and the Knights of Pythias. The
trust deed is secured by real estate owned by Mr. Mitchell worth approximately $231,000. Mr. Mitchell complains that the receivers have delayed auditing the books.

THE GLOBE'S HOLIDAY PROGRAM!
Next week, the Globe has a real holiday program—five big acts of vaudeville and a Fountainine photo-lap. Here they are:
"The Five Musical Magpies" who have just returned from the west coast to spend the holidays at home. Manager Bob. Davis had a hard time in inducing them to accept an engagement week. "Hooten & Hooten" who were booked for the Globe about four weeks ago, but owing to illness, unable to perform. They are a very clever team and were headlined thouht the east. This will be their first western engagement, this season.
"Carter & Hunter," a very classy singing, dancing and talking act.
"Green & Price," also coming from the east, this being their first western engagement, this season, and ast but not least.
"Eddie Lemmons" a versatile and character comedian
As an extra added attraction for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Dec. 28th to 31st, the Globe will show Wm. E. Fontain's (Cleveland boy) latest feature pho'lonov entitled "The Virgin of Seminole" Brown & Brown "whirling doors" with the headliners at the Globe Theater, weekly Mon.-Fri. Mon. who set that raid pace, we spoke of in our last issue, to which the others on the bill measured up so nicely, and they should have credit for it. The Globe really had a wonderful show and has another, this week. The people are crowding the theater nightly, which the artists have exceptional ability of Manager Bob Doyle the artists and plays that please most his hundreds of patrons.
A CLEVELAND AND OHIO PRODUCT.
"They come and go"—don't they? But "The Old Reliable" remains with you. Eighteen "race papers" have been born and have died in Cleveland alone, to say nothing of the many more that "have passed out" in the state of Ohio, outside of Cleveland, since the advent of The Gate on Aug. 25, 1883. Then, too, the Gate has been our time since the day of its birth, and does not owe anybody or anything "a dime." Isn't that a record to feel proud of? We think so; don't you? Why not, then, "boost" The Gate and stop chasing after newspaper "shadows" or "rainbows." "The Old Reliable" is "to the manor born" (in Cleveland and Ohio) and not an interloper or "yesterday" arrival in this community or the

fore in "The Old Reliable" Gazette as showing the disposition of those institutions which though supported by TAXES which are gathered, irrespective of color or race, are united in a program to force "jim crowism" on our people of this city.
City Manager E. E. Parsons was relieved of his position at Monday night's meeting of the City Commission and his Clerk Wm. Mahoney elected to his place. Mr. Parsons has been spending $700 a month of the much-needed money of the city in furnishing police escort for the "jim crow" Fulton school-teachers, guards, etc., to assist Supt. MeCord in his effort to force the obnoxious and, illegal "jim crow" Fulton school on our self-respecting and aspiring people of Springfield. His going will not be regretted!

—A. T. Stewart.
Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent. —W. Atlee Burpee.
Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard.
The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise?
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business crowding during "dull days."
The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It is a good time to "get wake."

A twelve-year penitentiary sentence was given Ben Henderson, 2341 E. 22nd St. Saturday, by Judge Hover, following a manslaughter conviction returned by the jury after nearly forty-eight hours' deliberation. Henderson was tried on a first degree murder charge for the killing of his common law wife, Ella Jackson. The shooting occurred, Oct. 1. Henderson's defense was successful, the wicket a dark room in his house and fired without knowing who his assailant was.

Thomas Brown, age 47, 2308 E. 222d St., died in Charity hospital, Saturday, from a stab wound, inflicted, according to police, by William Gilbert, age 38, a roomer in the Brown home.

Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones, E. 101st St., have received a letter from their son, Louia, containing Christmas and New Years greeting to all his friends. He is well and doing likewise in school in Paris, France. He writes that he had one good old American Thanksgiving dinner, with one of the musicians and his wife, to which he did full justice. Turkey and all the trimmings were on the table. He seldom gets things cooked the American way over there. Louia says he has called at the American embassy and met Ambassador Myron T. Herrick of this city, who was very close to him, and very work there in school. The ambassador invited him to call at any time and to make the embassy his home, and if there was any thing he wanted, to let him know. Louia says it is certainly a good feeling to know one is under such kind protection. The ambassador has known him from boyhood.

FRANCIS H. WARREN, ESQ.
In the death of Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich., this country lost one of its leading thinkers. He had a mind of his own and he allowed no one to do his thinking for him. He was a fighter of the best type and he was open in his attacks, despising underground methods in either pe-

We have known him for nearly a decade and when he drew his last breath, there went out of this life a man, this world could ill-a-word to snare. —Editor John Mitchell, Richmond (Va.) Planet.
Federal Case Against Garvey New York City—The U. S.

IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "degrees are not worthy of equal rights" that are by nature without self-respect and have no "guts." The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race.
Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however low a race discrimination may continue. The submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.
CHARACTER.
Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR
Proprietor of The Southern Clothing Store, 2730 Central Ave., has moved to 2819 Central Ave. where he conducts
and invites all of his old patrons and new ones to call and see his fine line of NEW SUITS, PANTS AND OVERCOATS at especially low prices.
Los Angeles, Cal.—In the Superior Court, recently, Mrs. Annie Williams was awarded $100 damages from Boos Brothers' Cafeteria, when Judge Walton J. Wood rendered a civil rights case decision in her case, which has been humiliated and discriminated against when she attempted to bur a meal at the cafeteria, several Sundays ago. A month ago颁发了, Capt. and Mrs. John A. McPheeters, E. 30th St., were made very happy by the arrival of a fine baby girl and ye editor has been waiting patiently ever since for his friend to come forward with the unusual "teeter" "Cap." certainly must have forgotten it; so we are reminding him at this time.

Cleveland's Anti-lynching Crusaders are red-hot, it is said, because Mrs. Harry E.

OHIO SUPREME COURT QUOTED
Against "Jim Crow" Schools! They Are Unlawful, Wasteful and Injurious
Springfield School Superintendent and Board of Education Denied the Right to Draw Racial Lines In School Matters—Another Great Victory!
(Special to The Gazette.)
Springfield, O. — Supt. McCord and the Board of Education received another setback, Monday morning, when Judge Frank W. Geiger of the Court of Common Pleas overruled the demurrer of the board to the petition of Chas. L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh for a permanent injunction. The decision, which was rather clear, was also for the judge to read. The demurrer admitted the truth of the allegations of the petition, to the effect that the board of education is by transfer of pupils, seeking to establish at the Fulton school, a school exclusively for our children. The court's ruling referred to a precedent set by the Ohio supreme court in a similar case and indicated that he would follow it in the case now that the court had ruled that it inasmuch as the legislature had, in 1887, repealed the specific statute which permitted the establishment of exclusively colored schools that separate schools for colored children have been abol-
PROFITS TO COME FROM SCRAP HEAPS
EUROPE SETS EXAMPLE FOR OUR MANUFACTURERS
Same Means of Saving Found by Foreign Experts Should Be Adopted Here.
What will American manufacturers have to face when they come into competition with foreign factories after the war? First, the cooperation of their rival foreign manufacturers to eliminate an' waste connected with their output. Second, factories which employ "minds," men trained for their positions from boyhood, instead of the American factory's "nands," men who work here a while and there a while as wages or fancy directs them. William C. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce, in an interview has discussed the situation. Part of his remarks follow:
Tap any business man on the shoulder and he will tell you that European nations are ahead of the United States when it comes to utilizing the waste products of their industries. For example: The average American business man if he were making catsup would be satisfied to get money for 90 per cent of his raw product.
Consider the tomato canners of Italy who supply that commodity to almost all Europe. The case is typical of the whole European system.
To turn a liability into an asset was a problem which confronted the Italian growers in 1908. They experimented and found they could use the waste skins of the tomatoes ov manufacturing from them a cattle and horse feed. They then pressed an oil from the seeds, which was excellent for illuminating purposes in lamps, and by refining it found that it was suitable for the table.
A number of tomato canning establishments located near one another erected a drying plant, and here the waste skins and seeds were brought from the various factories. Experiments were carried on for two years until a successful drying apparatus was found. The percentage of waste in Italian tomatoes ranged from 2 to 5 per cent in weight. This waste was represented by skins and seeds. The Italians now sell the stock food from the seeds for 53 cents a hundred pounds, the crude oil for $7 a hundred pounds and the refined oil for $8.75. Before, they were obliged to pay to have the waste hauled away.
Not content with getting 20 per cent of oil by means of a hydraulic press, the Italian canners went on experimenting until by use of solutions they could get 22 per cent oil. And the residue of seeds was not thrown away. It was regrown in revolving mills and made into cattle feed.
Witness the tons of "waste" from Germany in the Deutschland at Baltimore harbor. One of the most glaring instances of her neglect of waste utilization is found in our great coal and coke industry. Year after year its by-products have been thrown away, while Germany's wonderful dyeustuff industry has been built entirely on this waste. Slag in Europe is the body material for concrete and granulated, is used for making building blocks,
ished, and that no regulation can be made under any now existing statute which does not apply to all children, irrespective of race or color. Continuing, the court said that "in the district there are about 300 colored and 200 white pupils who were enrolled in said schools in 1920-21, and that the enrollment for the present school year would be about the same, but for the fact that the education is attempting, unlawfully, to establish and maintain said school as a school exclusively for colored children; that the board has not declared to do so indirectly, and that it has transferred all white children to other districts from the Fulton school district, refusing them admittance in their own district; that such acts have been done solely because of race or color, of said colored children, or of that they unlawfully abused in abuse of the corporate powers of defendant, and a waiver of money of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs.
brick tiles and for the manufacture of cement. The Europeans also use slag to a lesser extent as a raw material in glass making and in the production of artificial marble and artificial pumice stone. In America slag is given to the railroads, who haul it away under protest and use it for track ballast.
For many years German manufacturers have been making kraft wrapping paper from wood waste. Most of the American lumber mills have paid dearly to have this waste burned.
Sweden and Norway maintain their place in the paper industry by using only the scraps. No timber from which a "four-by-four" can be cut is allowed to go to the pulp vat. In America the reverse is the rule.
It would be laughable, if it were not in its larger aspects so tragic, to recount the experience of a larger copper company. A recent court decision compelled the company to install methods for saving sulphuric fumes which were denuding the surrounding country of vegetation and destroying the lands of nearby farmers. As an outcome of this litigation that particular company is now making profits by utilizing the sulphuric acid waste. European countries have been for years installing such methods, not to comply with the law, but as economic assets—as dividend payers.
Much is said about industrial preparedness. It should begin at home. Each business man, if he is true to himself and to his country, will see to it that when this country faces new industrial conditions at the close of the war he will be prepared to meet them. His waste, both economic and social, will be at a minimum; his by-products at a maximum. This will enable us to meet more successfully the avalanche of foreign competition, with its attendant "dumping" demoralization, and its price cutting that is likely to follow the close of the European war.

EXPIRES AFTER HE FINISHES TUNNEL
NOTED BRITISH INVENTOR DIES
AS GIANT TASK OF 1849
IS COMPLETED
Devised Machinery That Saved Brit-
tain Huge Sums.
The name of Sir Marc Isambard
Brunel stands prominently to the
fore as one of the world's greatest
inventors. His fame rests especially
on his invention of the ships' blocks,
but a score of in entions are to his
credit, all of which have been of
great worth and helped to revolution-
ize various lines of work for which
they were intended.
In the construction of the "block machinery," Brunel was fortunate enough to secure the hearty co-operation of Henry Maulslay, and having completed his drawings and working models, Brunel in 1801 took out a patent for his invention. He was given an introduction to Lord Spencer at the admiralty, who in turn introduced him to the inspector general of the naval works.
After long negotiations and delay the government ultimately, in May, 1803, adopted his proposals and he was directed to erect his machinery at Portsmouth dock yard.
In spite of many hindrances the machinery was completed in 1806. The saving of labor and expense effected by the introduction of Brunel's ingenious mechanism was enormous. The system consisted of forty-three machines, executing the various processes in the block manufacture, and by its aid operations, which by the old method had required the uncertain labor of over 100 men, could be carried out with precision by ten. The estimated saving to the country, in the first years after the machinery was in full working order was about $110,000. Brunel had incurred great expense in carrying out his plans, but his claims received the tardy recognition from the government. In compensation and as a reward for his invention he ultimately received $85,000.
Brunel was essentially an inventor, in 1799 he took out his first patent in England, which was for a duplicate writing and drawing machine for twisting cotton threads and forming it into balls. Then followed a machine for trimmings and borders for muslins, lawns, and cambrics, somewhat of the nature of a sewing machine.
He also took out patents for "the manufacture of tin-foil," for "copying presses," for "stereotype printing plates," a contrivance for making the small boxes used by druggists and a nail making machine.
Brunel, visited the United States in 1792, and for some time was engaged in engineer work in and around New York. It was in this country that he matured his ideas for the making of ships' blocks, but he was compelled to return to England when he found that the United States was not able to afford him full occupation for his inventive genius.
After the completion of the Thamea tunnel his health became seriously impaired from the labor he had undergone in its execution, and he expired Dec. 12, 1849, in his 81st year, after a long illness. A short time before the termination of the war between England and France he devised a plan for making shoes by machinery, and under the countenance of the Duke of York, the shoes so manufactured were introduced for the use of the army, on account of their strength, cheapness and durability: but at the peace, in 1815, the machines were laid aside, manual labor having become much cheaper.
Steam navigation also attracted Brunel's attention and he became deeply interested in establishing the Ramsgate steam vessels, which were among the first that plied effectively on the River Thames. About this period, after much labor and perseverance, he induced the admiralty to permit the application of steam for towing vessels to sea, the experiments being made chiefly at his own expense, a small sum in aid having been promised, but withdrawn before the completion of the trials, the admiralty considering the attempt too chimerical to be seriously entertained—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Driven Out of Other Parts of Land, He Finds Permanent Refuge
Perhaps the most romantic commercial industry in the world is the fur trade of the Hudson Bay Co. This organization of "gentlemen adventurers," as it was called at first, has opened the great northland and supplied a large part of the world's fur. Furthermore, time and civilization have not changed its ways nor rubbed the glamour of romance off its doings: for the great northland must be much the same. There are barrens and forests and mountains that civilization can never conquer. Here in the north the trapper, who has been driven out of every other part of the land, has found a permanent home. In some places railroads have carried civilization into the Hudson Bay country, and the great company has met half way by establishing motorboat lines to connect with the railroad, and more elaborate stores to sell the wares it brings. But there are
other Tuscan boy posts that are so far removed from the world that it is nine years from the time the goods leave London until the turs for which they are exchanged return.
These remote little posts consist of nothing but a square factor's house, a few tents and a little woon church where an itinerant priest holds services once a year. And all about for distances that weary the imagination to picture are frozen barrens and forests and lakes.
To a white man, this is the most hospitable country in the world, but the ease with which an indian trapper lives and travels in it is amazing. He knows how to find the caribou and the snow shoe rabbit, and how to keep warm at night in a hole in the snow. With a dog, a sledge, an ax, chunk of bacon, a ride and a few cartridges, he will face that wilderness alone for weeks or months—and all to bring wealth to the great company.

FALLS EXCEL NIAGARA?
Scenic Spectacle Near Washington Draws Visitors.
"More beautiful than Niagara, though not so large" is the way Great Falls, the greatest scenic spectacle in the vicinity of the national capital, is described in advertisements. Whether or not you can agree in such praise as that, it is certainly true that Great Falls, though not properly a falls at all, is a most beautiful cataract, and worthy of more fame than it possesses.
The Potomac river, a wide stream of clear, green water, strikes a fault in the primitive rock of the country, and rushes for several hundred yards through two narrow jagged gulches, so steep that the water is whipped into pure white foam, and the roar of it sounds for miles.
The charm of the surroundings, however, are more than half of the spectacle, for both above and below the falls, the river flows between wooded hills with never a house or a farm in sight. The country retains an appearance almost primitive. Near the falls are the ruins of a stone mill said to have been built by George Washington, and standing near this and looking out over the tumbling waters and wooded hills, one feels that he is seeing the Virginia that the owner of the Mt. Vernon knew—a Virginia of untamed natural beauty.
Yes. He Was Curious.
"It's curious about things, isn't it?" said the man who had something on his mind and wanted to talk. "Yes," replied the man addressed, but without interest.
"It's curious how a feller gets into a box and then out again?" "Yes." "You know the Widow Spicer, of course?" "Oh, yes." "I heard last month that she had come into fifty thousand dollars. Sat right down and proposed marriage by letter, and rushed the letter off." "Well?" "Didn't hear from her in answer. Here's the letter. Forgot to stamp it, and it went to the Dead Letter Office. Just got it back. Suppose it had reached the widow and she had accepted me?" "What do you mean?" "Why, a week ago I heard that she didn't have 10 cents to her name. Curious, ain't it?" "Yes, but I can beat it. I married the Widow Spicer five days ago." "Goo whist!"
"And instead of having fifl thousands and collars she had seventy-five thousand."
"Say—say!" exclaimed the otter, as he threw up his hands; but he could get no farther. It was too curious.

ELECTRIC DEVICE FOOLS BASS
Fish Takes Bait for Glowworm and Makes Strike.
An inventive fisherman noticed that the stomachs of such game fish as bass often contain glowworms and other phosphorescent insects. He devised a tiny celluloid minnow which contains a miniature electric light, having its current supplied from a fine copper wire attached to the fish line. A contact button on the fishing rod flashes the lamp intermittently just as the glowworm's light is brightened and diminished by the creature's movements. It is said that the invention is thorny practical and has made some fine catches of fish for its owner.

KNOW LITTLE OF CRYSTAL DETECTOR
MOST AMATEUR ELECTRICIANS ARE IGNORANT OF SENSITIVENESS
Single Crystal Gives Better Results Than Combination.
In spite of the fact that crystal detectors play so important a part in experimentation of electrical amateurs, their use is not understood as well as it should be.
There are various combinations in use. It will be found, in general, that the more sensitive a crystal is, the more readily will it lose its adjustment or "knock out" from loud signals or static.
The average amateur will get more satisfaction from using a single crystal than from a combination. For example, although a perikon has many cieber ble characteristics, there is apt to be trouble from particles of one the crystal rubbing off and adhering to the surface of the other. This is constantly occurring.
Chalcopyrite and zincite, arsenic the tinium, and antimony and silicon are all used in combination, and are remarkably sensitive. An occasional wish with carbon disulphide helps to remove grease and dirt from the surfaces, and often restores them to sensitness. Carburundum is proof against all manner of knockouts, but is unfortunately not very sensitive. A stiff wire or needle makes the best contact with this substance, and should be pressed down into it with considerable force. A battery must be used with this detector. Silicon is more sensitive than carburundum, and is correspondingly more easily knocked out by static. A light contact is required, and the efficiency is often improved by applying an exceedingly small potential.
Galena is probably the most sensitive of the crystal detectors, but is bar to keep in adjustment. It is especially sensitive to static. The wire used should be as fine as possible. Certain violin and mandolin strings are wound with very fine silver wire; this wrapping is more suitable for use with galena. A minute fraction may be cut off the end of the wire from time to time, thus always insuring a clean point. Cerusite requires about the same treatment as galena. Iron pyrite works best with a firm contact and is almost as sensitive as silicon. Popular Science Monthly.
H. WAUAN ISLANDS GIVE
Contribute the Largest Active and
When the Hawaiian islands decided to become a part of the United States, we acquired, besides our first royal family and our most beautiful and exotic tropic garden spot, the largest active and up-to-date volcano in the world.
Kilauea has not been advertised like Vesuvius and Pelee, by virtue of recent destructive eruptions, nor like Popocatepeti, by a jewel of a name that would have made the fortune of anybody perspicacious to apply it to a new brand of chewing gum.
Retiring by disposition, of recent years at least, and attending to business in a good natured way with only a few minor eruptions to show that he is still on the job, Kilauea needs advertising.
His advantages as a volcano are many. He does not perch up at the top of an inaccessible cone, like less considerate volcanoes. He can be reached by nervous ladies in an automobile with ease and safety. He lies in a country that revels in the luxuriant vegetation of half a dozen italian gardens. He is the ideal tourist's volcano—and his crater is nine miles across, the greatest on earth.
It lies before you, a flat lifeless plain, in great smooth sweeps of lava run out and melted in long, graceful lines that are a delight to the eye. Here and there a fissure smokes reflectively, just to remind you that beneath the crust are depths unthinkable and temperatures unimaginable.
The wary tourist creeps to the edge of such a fissure and toasts bits of paper on the end of a stick by the heat of the fires of hades. It is a characteristic sight.
Where the crust breaks on in a pit and shows the living fire beneath the United States government has erected a station for the study of volcanoes. Scientists peer into the giant lipless throat and make observations and take temperatures.

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, to all citizens, and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of those 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 persecutor, and any person who has been accrued 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 Supreme Court will not use them, they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts
Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law
Misled by the foolishly manufactured outer, the passage of the Beaty bill, a law ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published a tutorial 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:
My Dear Sir: I愧求 your letter in the Beacon-Journal. Your venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in 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 interested by others in their own interest 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 have learned and learned 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 be worked out at six per cent. Dr. R. B. Moton.
A PRIVILEGE
It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—
Not a sacrifice, even though you go down.
They count not the cost, who fight the good fight.
And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown.
