Wadley was a small boy he showed a marked talent for drawing. There was little if any influence around him to encourage his development along this line. In the city of Atlanta, Ga., where he was born, he often saw sign-painters display their art on the sides of massive brick structures. He would attempt toimitate their sketches, and succeeded fairly well if the "artistic judgment" of the hang-arounds at a local barber shop was to be considered. Wadley's family moved to Fort Valley, Ga., where he attended school. In the afternoon he sold newspapers and ran errands for the owner of a jewelry store. One day during the Christmas holidays the jeweler became over-rushed with orders and decided to send Wadley to Macon with a large amount of watches, rings and other valuables requiring engraving. Wadley saw for the first time how engraving were sketched in pencil and later carved on gold and silverware. The boy watched C. B. Garoffa, head engraver, take a small tool shaped like a miniature ice-pick and carve a beautiful monogram on the back of a watch. Instantly it fired in him the ambition to be an engraver. Garoffa took a personal interest in Wadley, gave him his first set of tools and instructions. He advised the boy to Chicago and attend the tope-Davis School of Engraving. With limited funds Wadley went to Chicago and secured employment in a drug store as porter. At night he went to school. When he finished his course, he was introduced to Theodore C. Erpenbeck, expert engraver of the Central Monogram Jewelry Works. It was under Mr. Erpenbeck that Wadley served his apprenticeship, and also took advanced courses at the Winter School of Engraving. Today Wadley is regularly employed by the Central Monogram Jewelry Works, and is the official engraver for all the ball-players in the American and National leagues. He gained his reputation in this particular circle by doing a job for Tyrus Cobb, star Detroit ball-player. Cobb introduced Wadley to other players by showing his work. He has letters of appreciation from "Babe" Ruth, Tris Speaker, and others equally prominent. When Alexander Freeman, "Cub" pitcher, announced his engagement. Wadley was engaged as the engraver by players who intended making gifts. William Buckner, trainer of the Chicago White Sox, has taken a personal interest in Wadley and given him fatherly advice and encouragement. Wadley looks upon Mr. and Mrs. Buckner as his "adopted parents," and their home at 4740 Prairie Ave. Chicago, is now his home. He has been in the city for several weeks, at the Bailey Co. demonstrating Oatnobl Our Only Member. Washington C. H., O.—Justice of the Peace John T. Oatneal of this city is the only Afro-American member of the State Association of Justices and Constables which held its annual session at the Deshler hotel in Columbus, recently.

COST OVER HALF MILLION Chicago's Race Riots—The Illinois Mob Violence Act, or Anti-Lynching Law, THE CAUSE. Chicago, Ill. The 1919 race riots will cost this city more than $100,000 in addition to its share of the expense of maintaining 6,000 state troops nine days, it was estimated last week Thursday, after eight on death claims aggregating $1,500 were approved by the city councils. M. B. finance committee. The city previously had paid $20,800 for five other deaths. Fifteen death claims remain unsettled. Damage to property was not included in the estimated figure of $500,000. During the riots, according to an investigating commission, 543 persons were injured, among them 178 whites. "Illinois' mob violence act, or anti-lynching law, was patterned after Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio mob violence act, or anti-lynching law, and is largely a copy of the latter. It is under that law that the more than half a million 'dollars damages for injuries and deaths have been secured. Hon. Edw. Greene is the "father" of Illinois' mob violence law. Characteristic of Separate Schools Wherever They Exist—Neval Thomas Keeps Up the Good Work. Washington, D. C.—Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Dunbar High school has made his annual appeal to Congress against the inequities existing between the white and colored school systems. In a letter to Congressman Madden, chairman of the appropriation's committee, Mr. Thomas states that there is a difference of $970 between the salaries Neval H. Thomas. of the white and colored directors of primary institution, the white receiving a maximum salary of $2,500 and an allowance of $1,000 for automobile, and the colored $2,500 with no allowance for transportation, although both meet the same professional requirement and pay the same service and have the same large areas of supervision to cover. Likewise he called the attention to the Congress to the vast differences existing between the states of white and colored directors of kindergarten.

It was a pitiful sight. But the exhibition of nerve by Jane Law, principal of the school, was enough to "make a horse leave its oats." She invited President Chas. L. Johnson of the League to witness her "program." Of course he informed her that he had too much self and race respect to ac- cept, and added that he greatly regretted her distressingly evident lack of both. She then prevailed upon him to withdraw the pickets on account of the (very limited) attendance expected. You ought to have seen the arch "jim crow" advocate, Rev. E. W. B.

In addition to Curry, the following were, those in attendance upon the "program" and who did not want to face those wonderful pickets, of ours: Supt.

ATTENTION, EMPIRE SAVINGS AND LOAN CO! 9214 Rosalind Ave., Cleveland, O. Dec. 17th, 1922. Honorable Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—Knowing your attitude toward right and wrong, we wish to call your attention to a matter that just recently occurred to a number of our people in this city. One year ago the Empire Savings and Loan Co. had on a membership, drive, both in their regular savings accounts and Xmas clubs. As members of the race and wishing the company success, we opened both savings and Xmas accounts. A few times, unable to reach the bank each and every week, as we live fully three miles from there, we lapsed in our Xmas fund. But when we did deposit it was from two to six weeks in advance, so that by November all of the fund had been paid. On Dec. 16, 1922, we received a check from them for just what we had deposited, NO INTEREST. True there was a rule that you must pay each week, but what about the company having your payments in advance as far as six weeks. They were deriving the benefit of your money. Then, too, they have a rule that no monies can be withdrawn until the stated time at the end of the year. There they have the gravy again all on their side. They use your money and give YOU NOTHING in return. Another depositor started a Xmas club last year and missed a few times at the beginning, but paid in ALL of her fund by June. She also LOST her interest. Where she also the justice of them using her money for full SIX MONTHS and give her nothing for it. Remember there were numbers who had this done to them. Think of the money the company made with these people's money. Now other banks have these same rules, but they temper their payments with justice. If you lapse a few times but on the other hand give them the benefit of your money from four, six and eight weeks in advance when you do pay, you get some interest, and we have received full interest under the same conditions. Then, too, there are a number of our people who are unable to read. Is it fair for them to be taken advantage of because they do not tell you of this rule? You are passed the book to sign, make your first deposit and read the rules when they have your money and you can't withdraw until they mall the check one year later. This is something we think the general public should know, because the most of us work and struggle too hard to save a few pennies. NOT to get a fair return. If we are wrong in our attitude we beg of you to so inform us and oblige. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew, A Depositor. The foregoing was published in our last issue, without editorial comment as a matter of fairness to all concerned, expecting of course that if the gross manifest unfairness, charged in the letter, was not as stated, the president or some other official of the Empire Savings & Loan Company would promptly say so. This they have failed to do. Therefore, our readers have a right to draw whatever conclusions from Mr. and Mrs. Andrew's statements they may see fit. However, if all they write, relative to the Empire Savings & Loan Co., is correct, it is high time the stockholders of that little business enterprise were holding a meeting for the election of some new officers. That sort of dealing with its patrons would soon ruin the business of any concern. The Gazette has been hoping that there was a mistake somewhere that some officer of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. could and would make clear. They have had a week in which to do it, but as yet have said nothing. Better wake up, brethren! NO FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING LAW.

Mana attendance stem the to save the burgel club Bacharach Paris, France—An agreement for a fight between "Battling" Siki and Georges Carpentier on a date between Feb. 15 and March 15, has been signed by Siki and his new manager, Charles Brouillet, says the Matin. Carpentier also would have signed but for the absence of his manager. The bout, if held, will be for twenty rounds under the usual boxing rules. Four-ounce gloves will be used. Francois Deschamps, "Carp's" manager, in a letter to Le Main, says it will be impossible for him, as president of the managers' committee of the boxing federation, unless the disqualification against the latter is removed, as Siki demands, or the bout is specially authorized by the federation, providing he will accept, such an arrangement. Something he is not likely to do. Paris, France, Dec. 23, '22.-Battling Sikh, European heavyweight champion, has started legal proceedings against the French boxing federation, which recently deprived him of the title he won from Georges Carpentier and suspended him for nine months upon charges of various escapades brought against him by French sportsmen. A summons has been served on Paul Rosseau, president of the federation, directing him to produce within three days the records upon which Sikh was disqualified. The document maintains that the federation is without jurisdiction in any except that the alleged disqualification was based upon alleged conduct not relating to boxing. The federation's decree was illegal in any case, Sik contends, because he was not allowed to give his testimony and the decision was never legally served upon him. SUPPRESS KU KLUX KLAN Mayor Hylan Demands in a Strong Letter to President Harding—The "Is it not the duty of the federal authorities to check the activities of those who would destroy the peace and happiness and prosperity of the people of this nation? Does there not rest upon them the inexorable duty of repressing every attempt to incite religious prejudice and racial hatred? I respectfully urge that if an examination of a complete file of the issues of Mayfield's Weekly bears out the sinister motives for which this publication is apparently disseminated, official action be taken by the attorney general and the postmaster general to suppress the sheet and to proceed against its publisher." "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEN BLOT." My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no fleah in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a sin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. Siki-Carpentier Bout. Siki Starts Su The Tates Out of the League. The fourth annual meeting of our National Baseball league was held in Chicago, recently, and the Tates were dropped from membership in it. "Manager" Josh DeVoe was in attendance and tried in vain to "stem the tide." That $20,000 needed to save the Tates was what evidently did the business. The Pittsburg club is bankrupt, too and the national club has pulled away from the national organization. Pittsburg's loss is sald to have been over $28,000. A Chicago paper says the League meeting was told that the Tates cleared $8,000, the past season, and that the club would be able to qualify by the first of the year. This appeal was voted down, however. The Hilldale club resigned from the organization and was refused its $1,000 joining fee. Rube Foster was re-elected pres., John T. Blount, vice-pres., J. L. Wilkerson, sec., and A. R. Foster, treas. A number of cities, including Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati, are being considered to make up the eight clubs of the League. Only two are needed. The Chicago American Giants gobbled up Charleston of the Indianapolis team and Hollyford of the Columbus bus club. Dismuses will manage the Indianapolis A. B.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions 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 much we may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. CHARACTER GETS OFFICIAL POSITION AFTER MAKING BIG FLY TRAPPING APPARATUS Device Ensnares by Milljons; Syrup and Fresh Meat Are Bait. When A. E. Chapman, an inventor, offered his first patent flytrap for sale in Rediands, Cal., he did not have the least idea that he was taking the first step in creating a new city office, the only one of the kind in the entire country. With the invention of his new death trap for files came the new official position of the city fly catcher, Chapman, the inventor, was appointed at a salary of $10 a week, the office being in existence nine months each year. Chapman began work by placing scores of traps at street intersections, around restaurants, and in the rear of livery stables. The bait placed in the traps was fresh canned fruit, syrup sugared water, sprinkled with cinnamon, watermelon, or fresh meats. The flies crowded into the cages—and to their deaths. The carcasses of the flies are removed each morning by the official fly catcher. He decided that he would estimate their number by enumerating them in units of liquid measure. During the first year between 240 and 245 gallons were gathered, on the basis of 50,000 to 75,000 carcasses to the gallon. Taking an average of 60,000 to the gallon, between 14,400,000 and 14,700,000 were coaxed to their deaths in a year. Mr. Chapman built a "jumbo" trap, which he had in a "Made in Redlands" day parade, inside of which were two small and a monster homemade fly. ROMAN JUSTICE How Technicalities Were Avoided in the Courts. The bar was an open profession in ancient Rome; the litigant enjoyed the utmost latitude, in the choice of an advocate, whose right to represent his client in court was fully conceded, Slavish imitators of the Greeks in literature and art, the Romans asserted their entire independence in the domain of law. Their innovations had the stamp of originality; but these did not comprise any close connection between bar and bench. It is noteworthy that during a very long period in the history of Roman law there was no exact counterpart of our Judge. The magistratus was a public official charged with the administration of the law; the judex was a species of referee appointed by the magistrate to hear and report upon a particular case. Then there was an arbiter who acted alone, or with others, in arbitration cases (arbitria). Finally, there were recuperators who assisted in international questions. The hearing before these various types of judex was called the judium, as distinguished from jus, the hearing before the magistrates properly so called. The names of citizens qualified for serving as judices were inscribed in a public record known as the album. Moreover, litigants had the right of objection to a particular judex. Not only so, but this right was extended during many centuries to criminals, who were tried before centumvirs and decemvirs, sitting on the permanent tribunals. If the Roman Bill Sykes never thought of putting forward the demand of his English congener that "we all ought to have a voice in making the laws as we suffer by," yet we may be well assured that he would not fail to take a sporting chance, make a prime favorite of the Judge who was most reversed on appeal, and strenuously object to the others. The point which calls for our special attention is that none of the men who discharged the various judicial or semjudicial functions described were drawn, except in most exceptional cases, from the advocate class. Nor is it possible to conceive any arrangement better calculated than in force in Rome to exclude their narrow, professional technicality from the settlement of civil cases. The presiding magistrates of the great criminal tribunals were seldom or never men practised at the bar. Even in later times, when the distinction between jus and judicium had disappeared, and the functions of magistratus and judex were merged in one official, there is no evidence that the bench was recruited from the bar more frequently than before. The Way of It. Nickler—Some towns fatter themselves that they are not as wicked as New York. Bocker- And others flatter them saves that they are.

The first, for file clerks, is to be held in Room 501 of the Federal building on Jan. 13; the next, for openers and packers, on Jan. 20. On the same day one will be held also for clerks qualified in accounting. The fourth will be held for general clerical workers, Feb. 3. Mt.

Fire, Dec. 20, destroyed about $5,500 worth of the $6,000 stock of cigars, tobacco, etc., of our most enterprising dealer of the kind in the city, J. B. Dennis of 3705 Central Ave. It is to be deeply regretted. Then, too, it came just before Christmas when many businesses look for possibly their biggest sales of the year. Mr. Dennis is a careful and successful business man, well liked by his many patrons who also speak in the highest terms of his splendid helpmate, Mrs. Dennis. All hope Cartooner·Vent?

We cannot have too many of such enterprises as Mr. and Mrs. Dennis conducted at 3705 Central Ave. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. "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 Gazette on Aug. 25, 1883. Then, too, it has been published every week on time since the day of its birth, and does not owe anybody or anything a dime. Isn't that a record to fob off? When think so; don't you? Why not, then "boost" The Gazette 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 state. The wages of drug store banditry is death. Such at least was the fate of Edward Madison, age 22, 2504 E. 14th St., who died, last week Friday, in City hospital from bullet wounds in the head and neck. Madison (and one of his pals) was shot, about two weeks ago, by Patrolman riiarrison Harney in the Carnegie Drug Company, at 3546 Cedar Ave. Three "pals" of Madison were also captured, two by a police flying squadron shortly after the holdup and the third, Dec. 17, after Madison's confession had implicated him. Trials of the three were continued until Dec. 29 in police court. Two of them, George Coleman, age 23, and Leroy Harper, age 22, are in jail. George Johnson, age 24, is under guard in City hospital. He was wounded in the leg by Patrolman Harney. All Sunday schools of Cuyahoga county are invited by the Cleveland S. S. association to send members to the City Training school to be opened, in the Y. M. C. A., Prospect Ave. and E. 22d St., Monday evening, and Jan. 15, and to be in session every Monday night for ten successive weeks. Special visits and posta, personal visits and the rallies will be used the next two weeks to inform the schools of the courses offered. At the S. S. workers' luncheon conference in Central Y. W. C. A., Saturday noon, Jan. 6, Dr. Hugh MaGill of Chicago, general secretary of the International S. S. Council of Religious Education, will speak. The inter-departmental visit will be the First Methodist, Episcopal Sunday school, Jan. 7, with Dr. MaGill and seven of Cleveland's S. S. experts present, will afford an opportunity to learn more of the school. GREAT HOLIDAY SHOW! The Gobe theater has certainly fulfilled its promise to the public in regard to its program for this week. There was a slight change. "The Musical Maglies" did not appear and in order to replace this act, "The Plantation Days" quartette, who are appearing at every performance, was secured, and it is proving a most satisfactory substitute. The Gobe theater knockout and mencing, Wednesday, the Globe has been adding to its already strong program and has Wm. E. Fontaine, the Cleveland boy, in his latest race picture, entitled "The Virgin of Seminole." It is a great photoplay which all should see. The Globe is going to usher in the New Year with a midnight show, Sunday evening. By popular request, it has engaged the "Plantation Days" company for a return engagement. All seats will be reserved for this performance and tickets have to be purchased for the week, commencing New Year's day, the Globe will offer another exceptionally strong vaudelle program, consisting of the Byrd and Ewings company with a bevy of pretty girls and funny comedians in a musical farce. This company carries its own Jazz band. In addition, there will be Williams and Brown in their own band, and the band will last, but not least, is Leon Klaxton, a very clever performer. The usual first run feature will be given in addition to the above program. Then I thought of how like every life is to a calendar of the months. In January the ice throes of winter speak of the unconsciousness of the babe. February stands for the awakening of the consciousness of early childhood—the caroling of the bird to the call of St. Valentine. March appears as the early sapling of youth, bending and bowing with the gale, but gathering strength withal. April brings the first knowledge of sorrow, with its showers of grief when little sister was taken away, and the clouds hung low over the home. May, with its budding flowers and the fragrance of the lilacs, tells of love and long strolls in the woods for the first violets and anemones. June, that rare mouth when the deeper and more wonderful meaning of life is revealed in the happiness of the honeymoon and the new home. July brings its touch of brown in the landscape—harbinger of the coming years. At forty nine I love the growing things more than ever Now I anticipate the coming years. August typifies that period to which we all look forward—when we may retire from business and have our playtime, doing just what we most want to do. September brings the vintage of the vine, the fruition of a life well lived. October suggests the peace and contentment, the full glow of the harvest moon with its medley of products gathered into the granaries and the barns. November marks life's approaching frost; the swirling leaves, dry and brown, rush down the road. And yet it includes the real Thanksgiving time of life, with the cheer and glow of the heartstone and the family gathering to keep the heart warm. December—yea—this landscape of July days then will be bereft of its singing leaves.—National Magazine. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money.

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. Gelger of the Court of Common Pleas overruled the demurrer of the board to the petition of Chas. L Johnson and W Leigh for a Lurence juvenile Trial, which was rather lengthy, required a full half hour 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 pending. Judge Gelger said it was necessary to establish a statute had, in 1887, repealed the specific statute which permitted the establishment of exclusively colored schools that separate schools for colored children have been abol- 10 PAIR TWINS TO EACH 100 BABIES TI.AT'S PROPORTION BORN IN U. S. AND GREAT BRITAIN, PHYSICIANS FIND Greater Number Found in Cold Countries Than in Warm Climes. In England and the United States there are ten pairs of twins among each 200 average babies born. in countries of lower latitude the proportion is considerably less; so far as the matter has been stunned the relative number of twins in a warm country has been found much smaller than in a cold country. For a given proportion of the population nearly twice as many twins are born in Russia as in Spain, for example: It has been found that twins run in families, that is, the tendency to give birth to more than one child at a time is handed down from mother to daughter. If a woman has given birth to one or more sets of twins the chances are that her daughter will do likewise. In about two out of three case twins are of the same sex. In the case of "identical" twins, however, either both are boys or both are girls. Identical twins are different from the ordinary kind, being practically one person in duplicate and having almost a single identity, very much as if they were halves of the same individual. The mental, moral and physical attributes of the one are the same as those of the other. While the ordinary twins resemble each other more or less, identical twins usually cannot be told apart. Another peculiar thing characteristic of indentical twins is the extraordinarily close sympathy that exists between them, each being apparently connected with the other through some peculiar psychological medium. "Coalesced" twins, as they are called by doctors, are believed by some authorities to be identical twins who for some reason have not been fully separated from each other. Evidently in the earliest stages of their existence they were formed as a single individual, then, through some strange, unknown psychological accident, the embryo was partially separated into two parts. While comparatively rare, these physiological phenomena are by no means unfamiliar to the medical profession. Usually they die in early infancy. In this country triplet occurs once in each 7,910 births and quadruplets once in each 371,125.

Although of recent years aviation has made tremendous strides, the feats of present day aviators cannot compared with those of nature's flyers in speed, endurance, lifting and sighting power, birds beat aviators every time. A common swallow, for instance, 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 1820-21, and that the enrollment for the present school year would be about the same, but for descent and board education is attempting a lawfully 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; and that they are descent and board education of the corporate powers of defendant, and a waiver of money of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs. can travel in the air at the rate of 120 miles an hour. The vulture when swooping on its prey cuts through the atmosphere at nearly 150 miles an hour. Some time ago a swallow flew from Antwerp to Compiegne, a distance of 140 miles, in sixty-eight minutes, the flight being timed by observers, who returned the bird's average rate of speed at 128 miles an hour. The fastest an aeroplane has ever traveled is 108 miles an hour, and this speed was only obtained by building a little freak machine, terribly dangerous to handle. Then, again, birds can fly for twenty-four hours at a stretch without descending, even in bolsterous weather. After eight or nine hours' continue flying an aviator is wearied both mentally and bodily, and, if he had strong winds to fight, he is often in a state of collapse. No fly could carry out long flights across sea and land like cuckoos, for instance, which, any naturalist will tell you, often start from English shores and find their way to Africa. At a height of 10,000 feet the earth in detail is most difficult for an aviator to see, and it is only with strong glasses that he can discern even large buildings and rivers. But, at high altitudes, hawks and kites can spy tiny lizards and field mice on the earth, for their sighting powers are twenty times stronger than those of aviators. -Kansas City Star The Motorist's Black Plague. Carbon is the "black plague of the motorist. After three or four thousand and miles the lungs of even the best-designed motor may be so thoroughly encrusted with the black deposit that it cannot be expected to deliver its full eciency. This incrustation interferes with the proper radiation of heat, decreases the compression space so that premature ignition occurs, enters the spacer between the valves and their seats, thus causing a loss of compression and power of the explosive force, and may even curl up into joints and projections which become incandescent from the heat of the motor and which thus serve as auxiliary spark plugs, igniting the mixture long before the piston has reached the top of its stroke. And for this "black plague" there are relatively as many so-called "cures" on the market as for any disease affecting the human anatomy. These are in the form of chemicals and mechanical devices which may or may not prove of benefit to the motorist, depending not only upon the individual merits but also upon the manner in which they are used. Carbon formation may be attributed to one or all of three primary causes, as follows: First, the lubricant; second, the mixture; and third, the mechanical condition of the motor. all lubricant contains carbon, otherwise it would not be a mineral oil. But this carbon is combined with hydrogen to form the "hydrocarbon" which is the general classification of all mineral fuels and lubricants. When combined in this state it does no harm, as it is only when the excess carbon is freed from the oil that it will "distill" out in the form of the deposit which proves so annoying to the motorist. Some grades of oil possess a greater amount of free or uncombined carbon than others, and these, it would seem, would be the ones which would leave the greatest amount of carbon when they are burned in the cylinders. But the nature of this carbon residue will largely determine the amount remaining in the engine, for if it is of the dry, powdery type it will blow out with each exhaust stroke, whereas if it is of the gummy, sticky kind it will accumulate on the iron surfaces and gradually harden as it is subjected to continually increasing degrees of heat. RABBITS QUITE AND CHICKENS WHEN But not only should oil of the proper quality be selected, but it is important also that the lubricant should be of the correct thickness or "viscosity," as it is termed. A thin oil may be adapted to one type of motor having but infinitesimal clearance between the piston and cylinder walls, a heavier oil would be needed if this space is greater, or if the engine is to run at a higher degree of heat. For example, a motor having badly worn piston rings or scored cylinders, which permit a thin oil to pass by the piston, would smoke badly if the grade suitable to that motor when new were employed. In this case, a heavier oil than that recommended should be used to overcome the mechanical defects of the worn motor. The proper mixture to be supplied to the cylinders is also an important consideration in overcoming the carbon evil—Leslie's. Reason Bystander—But I don't see you questioning the umpire's decisions. Isn't that rather unusual? Chimmie-Hub! When de umpire owns de only bat, ball, glove, a-mask in de neighborhood?—Puck. ROMEJULIS DEAFEST OF ALL DEAD CITIES Pompeii is the deadest of dead cities, having been thoroughly and completely killed by Mount Vesuvius, but nevertheless it is growing as fast as some enterprising town with a busy board of trade. Instead of building up new and desirable districts in Pompeii, they dig out. The town can go on a wing for quite a while yet if the appropriation for excavation holds up. There is something exceedingly saddening and depressing about Pompeii. Even the approach seems to have been artistically designed to lead up the grand effect. The way runs between the sea on the right hand and an old and battered countryside on the left, with half ruined, run down villas set about with the curiously symmetrical Italian stone pines that look like artificial trees with too smooth perfection of form. At the very gates of the ruined city there is a great display of greenery as though nature were trying to heal the scar of what she had wrought in one of her moments of anger. Perhaps, indeed, she would have covered over the dead cities by this time with a smooth and decent mantle, leaving the ruins and skeletons to slumber bereath unsuspected and undisturbed; but the antiquarian and the shovel gang have come along to dig up the dead of another age, and the silent, empty city they have excavated is like one great tomb. Before you come to Pompeii you think that there will be something magnificently impressive about this ghost of an alien time preserved by the wrath of a volcano. It is pathetic rather than impressive, however. You can trace, or your guide in bad English will trace for you, just how the currents of that far off life flowed in the channels of every day domesticity with home and temple and tavern just as the life of today. You come expecting to view curiously the remains of a life infinitely different from your own. As you walk about the empty streets rutted by the wheels of vanished chariots, you are cast down because that life was so infinitely the same. Slight Error. A couple of sailors just returned from a long voyage strolled into the parlor of a public house. Above the rumble of the traffic in the street could be heard a very harsh and unmusical voice. After listening for a moment, one of the sailors turned to his companion and said: "Eh, Jack, lad, it's a long time since we heard that song." "What song?" "The one that fellow's singing in the street—'The Light of Other Days.'" "Stow it!" ejaculated the other gruffly. "That fellow ain't singing 'The Light of Other Days' at all. I've been listening to him; he's piping 'The Banks of Allan Water.'" Each sailor was certain that he was right, and, with characteristic contempt for money, a wager was made—a month's pay depended upon the result. "Here, Tommy," called out one of the men to the little son of the landlord, "run out and get to know what that fellow is singing." Tommy departed on his errand, which did not take many minutes. "Well," demanded Jack, "which of us is right?" "Naythur," replied Tommy, gringing. "The fellow is not singing at all; he's hawking herrings!" - Tit-Bits. Silver Tongued Claim Up in Minnesota Mr. Olsen had a cow killed by a railroad train. In due season the claim agent for the railroad called.

RABBITS QUITE AS DELICIOUS AS CHICKENS WHEN PROPERLY COOKED The Flavor of Young Rabbits Resembles White Meat of Chicken. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Properly cooked rabbits are as delicious as chicken, the United States Department of Agriculture points out, and are more economical than they must be purchased from a butcher. The flavor of young butch rabbits somewhat resembles the white meat of chicken, and the less tender, but more gamy, wild rabbits, well prepared, are similar in taste to the darker portions of poultry that has been fried and cooked in a casserole. Appetizing Ways of Cooking Appetizing Ways of Cooking: Before cooking the rabbit should be washed carefully in cold water and patried dry with a clean towel. It may then be stuffed and crushed if it is to be cooked whole, or cut into eight or ten pieces. Young tender rabbits may be simply dredged with flour, salt and pepper and fried in four tablespoonfuls of fat, like fried chicken. Sausage fat gives a particularly good flavor to fried rabbit. The flavor of bacon also combines well with rabbit. A cream or brown gravy should be made, using the fat in which the rabbit was fried. Another excellent way to cook a tender rabbit is to bake it in cream or white sauce. Split the rabbit into two halves along the backbone, dredge with flour, lay six slices of bacon across it, and pour three cupfuls of white sauce or three cupfuls of cream over it. Bake for 1½ hours, basting frequently. The rabbit liver, boiled till tender and chopped, may be added to the gravy. Smothered rabbit is stuffed and braised slowly with very little water in a covered pan. Many dishes may be prepared after stewing rabbit till tender. The meat may be cut from the bones in large pieces and served as rabbit pie, or a gravy made from the broth, with either a pastry or biscuit crust. Any broth not used makes excellent soup. Rabbit salad may be mixed with celery in the same proportions as chicken salad—two parts of diced cold cooked meat to one part of chopped celery and one-half part of salad dressing. The boiled rabbit may be served as a stew by adding potatoes, carrots and onions when the meat is partly cooked. The liquid in which the stew is cooked should be thickened. A spiced rabbit stew appeals to many persons. The seasonings consist of six slices of bacon, chopped, a minced onion of medium size, two tablespoonfuls of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful of perper and one tablespoonful of whole cloves in a bag, all covered with boiling water But Mr. Olsen, you must remember this: Your cow had no business being on our tracks. Those tracks are our private property, and when she invaded them she became a trespasser. Technically speaking, you, as her owner, became a trespasser also. But we have no desire to carry the issue into court, and possibly give you trouble. Now, then, what would you regard as a fair settlement between you and the railroad company? "Vail," said Mr. Olsen slowly, "Ay brine poor Swede farmer, but Ay shall give you $2." Placing His Voice It is not always necessary to go to a sizing master to have the voice "placed," as the phrase is. So it would seem, at least, from a story that an Atlanta man tells. One cold, wet and windy night he came upon a negro of his acquaintance shivering in the doorway of a store. Wondering what the darky could be doing, standing on a cold, wet night in such a draughty position, the Atlanta man said: "Jim, what are you doing there?" "Suce me, sir," said Jim, "but I'm gwine to sing bass to-morrow mornin' at church, an' I'm tryin' to ketch a cold." The Brazilian city of Bahia has replaced its telephone service with an American system. "Say," asked the first messenger boy, "got any novels to swop?" "I got 'Big Foot Bill's Revenge,'" replied the other. "Is it a long story?" "Naw! ye kin finish it easy in two messages." - Catholic Standard and Times. Butter That Lasts.

A brown sauce is made separately and poured over the rabbit, which is then simmered two hours. First Fried, Then Simmered. The flavor of many slowly cooked rabbit dishes is improved by first browning the pieces of rabbit in a little bacon or other fat and then cooking them slowly either in water or in a gravy made from the same fat. Fricassed rabbit is first browned and then boiled. It is often served with steamed dumplings, made like biscuit dough with the addition of an egg and steamed in the gravy of the fricassee. Casserole rabbit is cut up and browned in bacon fat, then arranged in a casserole with strips of fried bacon, sliced onions and potatoes, dredged lightly with flour and covered with water. The casserole should be covered tightly and slowly baked for two hours. A tomato sauce may be used instead of water in the casserole, the potato being omitted, or the browned rabbit may be simmered in a tomato and onion sauce over a low flame till the rabbit is tender. The tomato sauce cooks down and gives a very good flavor to the rabbit. A savory stew may be made after frying the rabbit by boiling one medium-sized onion and two bay leaves with the meat until it is nearly tender. To the fat that was used to brown the rabbit add two tablespoonfuls of flour, mix thoroughly and add one cupful of vinegar. Pour this sauce over the meat and simmer until it is very tender. Serve with fresh or canned string beans and a dessert of baked apples. Other Uses for Rabbit. Other Uses for Rabbit. Any cold cooked rabbit may be ground up and used as a basis for hash, croquettes, shepherd's pie, or similar dishes. Meat loaf or meat balls may be made of raw chopped rabbit meat in the same way as beef or veal. Sausage cakes may be made from twice-ground meat with any preferred seasoning. If pork flavor is desired one part fat pork may be mixed with two parts ground rabbit meat. Very good sausage flavor will result from mixing the following proportions: two pounds twice-ground rabbit meat, one minced onion (which may be omitted) one tablespoonful salt, one teaspoonful pepper, one and one-half teaspoonfuls powdered sage, one bay leaf, pinch each of thyme and allspice, four to six tablespoonfuls finely crumbed dry bread or cracked crumbs, one beaten egg and one-half cup of rich sweet milk.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise *correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 2). Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a p. person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the child, if 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 surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the probability 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.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a bym from any of the persons cooperating, and mob. persons with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the lynching was contributory negligence or the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6259. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifteen dollars nor more than five hundred dollars imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in the county where competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is often so severe that often as they should, but expect it to them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
