SOME OF OUR COMPLAINTS. Southerners say that they "know how to deal with Negroes" and that they ought to be left alone; it's not that they don't want South doesn't want Negroes to become better citizens of this country. It wants them to work, and that's all. They have several excellent organizations. It is valuable for them to belong to them, and valuable for this country; but when organizers go through them, they are treated as criminals and driven out of town, beaten, and tarred and feathered. Other southerners, too, say that if the Negro doesn't like it in the South, he can go North any time he feels like it. But Negroes learned differently during the war, when it was easy to obtain employment in the North and they wanted to leave their homes. They did not fight against the cultural complaints of the South, which did not want to see its labor supply disappear. When Negroes persisted, they were argued with, threatened, and even taken from trains after they had bought their tickets. These are some of the abuses of which the Negro complains—San Francisco (Cal.) Daily Call-Post. Mission Secretary to Tour Africa New York, City.—The Reverend Thomas S. Donohugh, associate secretary for Africa and Southern India, for the Bureau of Foreign Episcopal church, 150 Fifth Ave., New York City, has sailed for Africa to inspect the various mission stations, large and small, established by his board and denomination, and make a comprehensive study of the particular needs of each locality.

"Chocolate Town," one of the greatest shows of a decade, opens a week's engagement at the Globe theater on Monday. This show has been having great success and the press reports, from many of the cities played, would indicate that the many patrons of the Globe are in for a real treat. The show carries a brass band and it is said that it, along with a great jazz orchestra, has been one of the outstanding features of the show. Coy Herndon, the famous hoop roller, is connected with the production, from a managerial as well as an artistic standpoint. His work with other shows is an insurance that this one will be peppery from the first curtain. There are many names famous in the show, world in the line-up and a set of principals second to none. A chorus of real class and distinction backs up a world of timely artistic work, total shape settings, now containing and startling electrical effects will be noted. Don't neglect seeing this show, next week, at the Globe. The death of Mrs. Charlotte Wilson, mother of Mrs. Beasle W. Thomas, 7803 Dix Court, was a shock to her many friends.

Harvard Scientist Says Skull Examination Shows Race Derivations. Cambridge, Mass.—Negroes who crossed the Bering straits in prehistoric times are among the ancestors of the American Indians, according to conclusions reached by Dr. Roland B. Nixon of Paabody museum, Harvard university, who read a paper, recently, which caused a great stir in the anthropology section of the American Association for Advancement of Science. Negro people would appear to have been the first discoverers of America. Others who crossed the Bering thousands of years ago to become the first inhabitants of the American Indian were people of white stock, related to the so-called Caucasian group, according to Dr. Dixon. Turkish tribes and other Mongolians, and the black Australians, blended in various proportions, formed the different races of American Indians. Many tribes, in the opinion of the speaker were largely negroed in carly times, but undewent transformation by mixing with other tribes and, since the discovery of America, by the infusion of white blood. The earliest skulls of the Iroquois and some other Indians show strong negro features continually modified, extended their power and territory, taking cavities from other tribes and absorbing them.

Startling Features of the "Jim Crow" School Trial. Our People Winning the Long-Drawn-Out Fight—Supt. McCord's "Fack to the Wall"—Curry's Sheet—Cleveland's First Cash Donation Springfield, O.—"The mills of the Gods grind slowly but sure.y" and the Civil Rights Protective League is surely "grinding" Supt. McCord and his henchmen to an "exceeding fineness." He is being "wallpoped to a frazzle." When we entered this fight we said there would be no compromise and we will"keep our word. They are "begg'ing for mercy" but Arthur J. Rigge. "there's nothing doing." Poor Jane Lee; she said she was about to have a nervous breakdown. If she will wait but a few more days, Judge Krapp will give her a "pill" that we feel sure will help her henceforth and forever—a dose of anti-"ilm crow" oil. The League's meeting, last Thursday evening, was a "rip-roaring" enthusiastic affair that resembled the previous one when the editor of The Gazette's telegram was read. When we made the announcement of the contributions to our Defense Fund by the Hon. Harry C. Smith and Rev. H. C. Bailey and his church, of Cleveland, the church "shook from center to circumference" as a result of the applause. That was the first outside financial assistance received and it is highly appreciated. Many thanks! The League said of the League said at the last meeting that he would atrp down and out. in a short time after this fight is successfully concluded, and give one else a chance to bump up against a few of the many obstacles he has had to contend against; that we had about accomplished the purpose we started after. He thanked the League for its wonderful support and advised the members to keep the organization alive and active because the work of breaking down segregation attempts in Ohio is but in its infancy and there was still if we be to done along that line if we are ever to come into our own. He has been an 'ideal leader and our people of this community thoroughly appreciate Him and his splendid work for them. (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O. — The Johnson-Leigh suit against Geo. Geo. E. McCord and the local board of education was begun in common pleas court, last Friday, former State Supreme Court Justice A. N. Summers and our attorneys, Jaynes and Daniels, representing our side (plaintiffs), and Atty Thos. D. Hodge (white), the school board. Judge Frank M. Krapp presided. About 100 students and the Fulton school district, testified to the transfer of their children from Fulton school to others. Only one said she had requested the transfer, and several expressed their disapproval of the transferring. Although John T. Shumaker, former principal, had testified otherwise, one witness testified that he (Shumaker) had visited the parents to learn to which school they wished their children and two other than Fulton. After a hearing, witnesses had been examined, Judge Krapp indicated that it would be unreasonable to call any to establish the facts of the transfer of the school from the Fulton school. Several of our parents of the school district were then called. In nearly every case they testified to the school in other districts, which the white children of their neighborhood were attending they were told that "the school district is the principal had orders from the superintendent not to receive any Colored children from the Fulton district." The most striking example was that of James and Gladys; children of Jas. Carpenter. They are very light complexioned and had attended the central junior school for three weeks when called to Principal C. L. Harris' office and asked their address. Three days later, the school again called to the office and asked stranger whether they were Colored or white. Answering, they were told to take their books and go to the Fulton ("Jim-crow") school. At the close of this session, the court in- IN UNION IN STRONG cates! d In Court! res of the "Jim school Trial. Long-Drawn-Out Fight—Supt. the Wall"—Curry's Sheet— first Cash Donation formed our attorneys that no more testimony along that line was necessary. Mrs. Helen B. Garver, a member of the school board, and Kenneth W. Simon, a "Moralizing Sun" reporter, furnished the sensational testimony of the day. The former told of a meeting of the board in the private office of Supt. McCord when he informed them of his intention to establish a separate school for our children and said, when questioned as to the legality of such action, that it was and was not, but that he was going to put it over. Simon, on the stand, corroborated Mrs. Garver's testimony and said that both reporters and editors of the two local daily papers were invited to that board meeting, and that there was an agreement to keep that information, evidently, had forgotten that "The Old Reliable" Gazette was still in existence. Other witnesses told to McCord's replies to "phone inquiries," after the granting of the temporary injunction, in which he said that no white children would be sent back to the Fulton school, this year. These inquiries were made mostly by pickets who did not disclose their racial identity. The outstanding feature of Saturday's court session was the testimony of Mrs. Raymer, the former wife of the women who circulated the petition upon which about 300 names were secured and which basf. McCord put forward as the basis for his statement, that "the Colored people wanted a separate school." Mrs. Raymer told of how in the summer of 1920 she and Mrs. (Pev.) John Collins came here from Lima to establish a "jim crow" (separate) day nursery and kindergarten for children to visit to Supt. McCord to get some furniture for their kindergarten, the matter of introducing "jim crow" schools here for our children was presented to them and their assistance solicited. The witness said Mrs. Collins gave her consent PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler. Wilcox. to assist. McCord said Colored teachers would be employed for the "jim crow" schools and Mrs. Collins, who said her daughter was not as yet qualified to teach, was assigned by McCord that he would fix it so she could teach. Mrs. Lee, mother of Jane, who was in charge of the teaching force (10 best) because she had been a school when it was ordered closed by the court, Jan. 5, 23. was also mentioned as one with a daughter who would like to teach, and an appointment was made for another meeting at which time they were to receive instructions from McCord as to how to proceed. Mrs. Raymer also testified that, upon the appearance of a man who has since been identified as Business Manager Dawn Plum, the court examined last we have found one to help us! She identified the petition containing the 300 names as the one which she signed. It will be recalled that this is the petition circulated by Meedames Raymer, Collins, Lee and Speaks (W. F.). Court hearings were resumed. Thursday and Friday of this week, and are expected to end, this week. Full particulars in next week's Gazette, usual. Order your paper, now!

BATURDAY, JAN. 20, 1923 During the war the American people, chiefly of the younger class, invested millions of dollars in war savings stamps, which have now come due. If this money is now to be squandered, the saving will have been of little avail. Put it into the new Savings Certificates, which can be bought at any post office. Another bill has been reported to Congress for the repayment of income taxes illegally collected during the last years of the Democratic regime. This time the refund amounts to $42,430,000. The Democrats collected the money and spent it. Now the Republicans are forced to turn to the taxpayers for funds to correct the mistake. Since Armistice Day, 1918, the sale of surplus army and navy supplies has turned into the treasury about $1,118,000,000. The war department still has surplus stocks on hand worth about $218,900,000 which it is disposing of as rapidly as conditions warrant. The liquidation of those extra assests is one of the principal features of the Republican purpose to put the government back on a business basis. There used to be more or less discussion and argument as to which local race paper had the larger or largest circulation, and the larger or largest following among our people of Cleveland. Some times "The Old Reliable" Gazette had one local contemporary and at times it had two, like when "The Advocate" and "The Call-Ohio Pioneer" were in existence in recent months. We told all then, as we tell them now, there should never be any question as to the matter of circulation or following because this paper has for nearly forty years had both, and will continue to hold them for reasons obvious. The Gazette has been published every week on time since its birth and has seen eighteen local race publications come and go in that time. Boost "The Old Reliable": --- The Gazette is reliably informed that Secretary Chauncey of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. was soliciting subscriptions, recently, in that place of business for the purpose of starting the republication of presumably the "defunct Call, and that this was the purpose of the meeting of "five or six persons" resident Murrell said he attended. Wonder what the stockholders of the company think of this action of their officials? If the company is to prosper, these officials must "stick to their own knitting." The government is operating its parcel post system at a considerable loss, which accounts for most of the annual deficits of the postal service. If plans of Postmaster General Work are carried out there will be an increase of the parcel post rates sufficient to overcome the deficit, and put the department on a self-supporting basis, an achievement that has been realized only three times in the history of the country. The lynch-nurdering mad-dog bit, down in Arkansas at Harrison, the first of this week. One white man, a striker, was lynched and several sympathizers (white) with the strikers were severely whipped and beaten. "As ye sow," etc. It has been just so with the Ku Klux Klan in recent months. They have of late been killing, whipping and beating members of their own race and kind. 'The Lord works in a mysterious way.' Many of the American people seem to have forgotten the terms of surrender Germany announced to the world when she thought she had the World War won. It will do no harm to recall some of them just at this time. It will help one to understand and sympathize with France in her effort to get from Germany not only money overdue that she is clearly entitled to but also coal and lumber long promised that she needs even more than money, if that be possible. Have you forgotten how Germany even threatened and treated this country long before the latter entered the war? --- There could be no more convincing testimony as to the complete absence of unemployment in this country than the drive that certain industrial and farm organizations are making for a lowering of immigration restrictions so as to bring in towards of 100,000 more allens. A hearing on the proposition will be held in the near future by the Immigration Committee of the House. --- The new Italian government has discovered that bureaucracy is one of the prime evils of that country, and a vigorous campaign against it is being launched. The cabinet has declared that it has power to dismiss any employee, high or low, and a planning drastic reductions in the national payroll. These plans are closely akin to the measures taken in the United States to effect economy, and are at the disposal of any nation that sincerely wishes to put its government back on a sound basis. CALLED THEM "NUTS" Mayor Kohler in his speech on the gas question at the City Council, Monday evening, among other things said: "I see Adam Damm over there with his pouting smile. You know Adam always sort of pouts. But I like Adam. I like all of you, personally. I trust all of you, McGinty and Damm and Fleming and all of you, even if I do think you're all a bunch of nuts." The mayor also said that Councilman Tom Fleming seldom speaks in the Council, and that in all the years he has been attending its meetings he has heard him speak out once or twice. There are good and sufficient reasons for this, Mr. Mayor. Ward 11 would be better off if it was without representation in the City Council, these days. Then, it could go to the councilman in the adjoining ward and get some action and the Lord knows it needs many, many things, and badly, too. A MODERN FRANKLIN "Invest in government securities," was the New Year recommendation of Secretary of the U. S. Treasury Mellon. During the war everybody made sacrifices in order to help finance the war measures of the government. In doing so they also set an example of thrift that ought not to be abandoned now, even though peace has come to the country. If you have some War Savings Stamps of the series of 1918, exchange them at the nearest bank or port office for Treasury Savings Certificates of equal face value that will continue to offer the same security and draw the same rate of interest as your war investments. If you have no War Savings Stamps, put your cash savings into the Treasury Certificates. They are absolutely safe, and pay a higher interest than a savings bank. "Save more and waste less," is Secretary Mellon's earnest appeal to his countrymen. "Let us make 1923 a better and more proseperous year. It will be little short of a national calamity of the lessons of thrift and sound investment learned during the war should be lost in these days of reconstruction. Invest in government securities. Help the government in handling the war debt and lay for yourself the foundation of future financial independence and success." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JAN. 20, 1923. Leaving The Republican Party Positively Disgusting and Sickening—As Far As We Are Concerned, the Republican and Democratic Platforms Are the Same. "Chocolate Town" a The Globe "Chocolate Town" a The Globe (Special to The Gazette.) The Republican party and the Afro-American furnish an interesting topic for the thoughtful at this time. The writer will endeavor, in this and subsequent contributions, to give a clear analysis of the sit-stand presentation; First; the Republican party, such as ours, should consider our race an integral part of the party so far as holding off and receiving monetary recognition for his ability, service and loyalty. It is expected that our people vote the Republican ticket irrespective of issues at stake. In the south, A. B. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. the remnants of the Republican party have taken the position of the southern Democratic party, that Negroes should be kept out of politics. South white Republicans have resorted to every device conceivable to eliminate our voters from politics. Northern white Republicans have accepted the attitude of their southern white party, that they should not vote for the Republican party, north, east, west and south, has winked at the disfranchisement of our voters in the south who were all most solidly Republican. The result is that there is no real Republican party in the south, only an organization of Republicans for "office." From this organization, the Negro has been almost completely driven. The unconstitutional acts of the Democratic party have prevailed because the Republican party would not vote for the north. The Republican party has never fostered a leadership among our voters that would call for participation in the affairs of the government. The party generally rewarded a few of our voters with a petty "price" on election day. A certain class of our leaders and voters have encouraged this most reprehensible policy. Legislation for the benefit of our citizens, which would give rise to constitutional libel, against the Republican party has refused to enact. The party now is committed to the enforcement of the Volstead Act. This act is to safeguard the eighteenth (dry) amendment. The Republican party has flatly refused to live up The inner side of every cloud Is bright and shining; I therefore turn my clouds about And always wear them inside out— To show the lining. "Chocolate Town," a conglomeration of everything from high-class minstrelsy to burlesque, but withal a clean and cleverly presented two and a half hours of interesting entertainment, will open at the Globe theater, on Monday night, for a week's engagement. The show opens with the regulation minstrel first part, presenting six more than qualified comedians in the persons of Billy Arnte, Charley Trice, "Rastus" Brown, Frank Smaldley, Eddie Day, "Jazz" Warren and "Pork Chops" Gibson and presided over by the capable and ever popular tenor, Leon Diggs. Leo is a real interlocutor and keeps things moving in a speedy manner. The first-part songs include "Hot Lips," by Cecelia Coleman; "Old Lange Snyder," by Charlie Brown; "Jelly Bean," by Rastus Brown; "Boll in the Light house," by Frank Smedley; "Nobody Lied," by "Pork Chops" Gibson; "May Be Your Man," by Louise Washington; "Long Gone," by Billie Arnte; "Silver Threads," by Leon Diggs; "Dapper Dan," by "Jazz" Warren, and a tuneful medley by the band. The best female quartets ever heard anywhere. The ollo carries a fine variety of turns, the principal one being Coy Herndon, the famous coop-roiler, whose act is a sensation, and Billy Arnte, a comedian who carries a medal prescheduled him by the late King Edward. Billy is ably assisted by "Jazz" Warren, some comedian himself. Then there is a duet by Leon Diggs and Cecelia Coleman; it is a Hawaiian idea and is backed by a chorus of class all dressed up for the occasion. Wm. Walker, who does some very good acrobatic dancing, has a novelty that is worth going a long distance to see, which is followed by a turn called "Society," in which the entire group takes part. During this latter, songs are well done by Miss Jones, "Rastus" Brown, Herndon and Coleman and clever Elaine Horn, who does a bit of character work and puts over the blues number, "Lonesome Mamma, with a laugh," Oklahoma Wilcox or Stock Co." is the name of the customary afterpiece, with Arnte and Gibson doing the comedy. It is a scream from beginning to end and winds up with great foot-work by the entire aggregation. This is the greatest show of the year, thus far. Do not miss it. In November the exports from the United States reached a value of $383,000,000, which is $90,000 greater than in November, 1921. That is the way the new tariff law is "paralyzing" our foreign trade.

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, dewns itself and the world then will say, degrees are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'"

The business men in the avenue shoul organize and "get busy," too, at once. A men's missionary rally will be held, Sunday afternoon, at St. John's A. M.

The Presbytery will hold a three-day exposition in Calvary church on world- wide missions, beginning on Tuesday. The part pertaining to our race will be featured by St. Mark's church. Admission free, but by ticket owing to the limited room. The sum of $2,300 was contributed by the members of St. Philomene's Catholic congregation, East Cleveland, Sunday, to aid Rev. Thomas E. McKenney in his work among Afro-American Catholics of Cleveland. Father McKenney a minister in the city spoke at each of the six masses and outlined the work. Starting six months ago with a membership of twenty families, the local Afro-American congregation has grown to more than 100 families, Father McKenney said. He has been assisted in the work of Temple to Temple in St. Philomene's congregation was the first of a number that Father McKenney expects to make throughout the city. Phineas T. Barnum, the greatest showman, years ago, who said people liked to be fooled and that "one was born every minute," advertised a cow or horse, we've forgotten which, "with its tail where its head ought to be," and crowds flocked to one of his side tents, paying the price. Barnum was in a stall with its tail in the trough. If Barnum were alive today, he would undoubtedly say that "one was born every second." His famous saying may explain why the long struggle and continued effort to publish another race paper in Cleveland where there is no field for one and where eighteen efforts to do so in the last year would be disastrous financially for those attempting it. One would think that experience would be sufficient knowledge for the average person and doubtless was for most of the five or six persons who recently gathered for the purpose of starting another local race publication or trying to blow the breath of life, if only temporarily into the defence. Advocate OLIVER has attempts have been made here in Cleveland in the last three years, and there are rumors of still another. This latter is what made us recall Barnum's famous saying. Antioch Baptist church, led by its pastor, Rev. H. C. Ballay, has raised $25 for the Defense Fund of the Civil Rights Protective League of Springfield. This shows some appreciation for the grand work, for all of our people of Ohio, that our good people of that city have been going as a sacrifice for three or four million victims of tortors and churches in Cleveland and the state, able to do so, should "put their shoulders to the wheel" and help because there is urgent need of of between $500 and $1,000 to clear away expenses incurred as a result of their fight in and out of the courts of Springfield. While our good people of that city are too proud to ask assistance that is no reason why we shouldn't help them as Antioch pastor and the editor of The Guardian, who is home, have done. Send your contribution to Charles L. Johnson, Champion Chemical Co., Springfield, O., or to Arthur J. Riggs, 26 W. Clark St., Springfield, O., and send it promptly. "They come and go"—don't they? But "The Old Rellable" remains with you. Eighteen "race papers" have been born and have died in Cleveland alone, to save 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 feel of proud? We think so; don't you? Why not, not. "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. Prime Sport News Sikl's Turn Next! Paris, France.—The disqualification of Battling Sikl and the withdrawal of his title of middleweight champion of France was held, last Saturday, by the International Boxing Union to invalidate also the other titles the Senegalese boxer won from Georges Carpentier. These were middleweight and heavyweight champion of Europe and light heavyweight champion of the world. All the foregoing will be overturned at the conclusion of Sikl's case against the local boxing commission which gave the Senegalese hearing at all three taking the draught in a new indoorsy the International Boxing Union, Monstère Diagne, representative from Senegal, is backing Sikl in his suit for the square deal the French courts are sure to grant him. Wills and Dempsey. "It will probably be Wills next for Dempsey," says Jack Kearns. None of the other matches proposed is likely to come in ahead of the Wills match, which is a fixture as far as we are concerned," he continued. "Of course Jack may take on some smaller fight first, if he has a chance. We all have to eat, and a champion isn't any better off than anyone else if he can't keep busy." Kearns says that he isn't a sympathy with any attempt to sidetrack the Harry Wills match on the ground of damphool American race prejudice. "Dempsey feels about it just the way I do," he said. "If Wills can beat him, let him have the title and welcome." Sikl-Greb Bout Paris, France.—Battling Siki has been matched conditionally against Harry Greb for a bout, next May, according to the Journal. The match is subject to the condition that Siki previously defeat an opponent whose name will be announced soon. The newspaper says that the purse for the proposed bout will be deposited at the French consulate at Boston. It chose a cause of being connected with the "allowed frame-up" in the championship battle between Georges Carpentier and Battling Siki were declared innocent of the charges in a report submitted to the French boxing commission by the committee investigating the matter here Monday. Of course this "declaration" proves no h'ing. Both Battlel Ski and his new manager, M. Broullhet, maintain their allegations that the fight between the Senegalese and Georges Carpentier was framed, notwithstanding the report of the boxing federation commission which said it had found no evidence of a frame-up. When interviewed by L'Auto, Broullhet asserted that he would produce full proof of his charges on Jan. 25, when a civil tribunal will hear the action brought against the federation by Ski for depriving him of his title. The same newspaper says a report is current that Frances CURFD HIS RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my trunk was too hard. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and I am doing nothing. I am doing hard work as a carpenter.

I can write to the Englewood Tulman, an assistant to the Englewood assasan. N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured—you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry Descamps, manager of Carpentier, intends to prosecute Siki for slander as a result of the commission's finding.

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. — Sup't. McCord and the Board of Education received a knock-out jolt, recently when Judge Frank W. Gelger of the Court of Common Pleas overruled the demurger of the board to the petition of Chas. L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh for a permanent injunction. The decision, which was rather lengthy, required a full half hour for the judge to read. The demurger 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 P.O. Box 1000, the school 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 held that inasmuch as the legislature had, in 1887, repealed the specific law, the Board of Education alliment of an exclusively colored school, that separate schools for colored children in Ohio have been "SHUFFLE 3733 Cent GRAND O Saturday, Janu Wierd Music Free D Soft Drinks Thos. Redd DEVICE IS EYE OF ARTILLERY GUNNER ENABLES HIM TO AIM BIG GUNS MILES WITH ASTONISHING Some Form of Telemeter is Used by Artilliers of Today. In the older times, when the "man behind the gun" could see without trouble the object at which he was aiming the cannon, it was comparatively easy to hit the mark if the chief gunner had a good eye. He guessed very correctly and came very near a "bullseye," even if he did not make it. The problem in ballistics is very different today, when the men at the gun do not see what they are firing at, or what object is many miles away, and to make a "hil" means great exactness of aiming. A little instrument called a telemeter has been invented, and is used by all artilliers in some shape or other. It is actually based upon a very simple and natural idea, one drawn from the action of a pair of eyes in the human head. When we direct our vision toward an object both eyes upon it and it is easily possible to draw a triangle, the base of which is the distance between the eyes, the two sides converging upon the object looked at. When an object is near at hand the eye does the work automatically and no mathematical calculation is necessary. But when the object to be hit is at a great distance the telemeter has to be used. This is a tube with two telescopic lenses, one on each end. The "objectives" of the two lenses are placed inside of the instrument and toward the end of the tube. Prisms with five faces act as reflectors, so that the person looking in has mechanically spread his eyes to the ends of the tube with a tremendous range of vision. Of course, the ends are so arranged that they may be directed at a single object at the same time, thus making it possible for the observer to see what would otherwise be beyond the power of the human eye, and to know by the angle at which it is viewed the distance away. It requires a little practice to use this wonderful instrument, but in a few days the operator ascertains how easily he can determine the precise distance he is from the object he is looking at and by a quick calculation he directs the pointing of the gun so Don't Throw It to a Friend abolished, 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 Fulton school district there are about three hundred colored and two hundred white pupils who were enrolled in said school in 1920-21, for the present school year without the same, but for the fact that the board of 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 children; and that they are unlawful and unpatronate powers of defendant, and a waster of money of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs."

All the calculations are based upon the simple fact of the angle of vision, or rather the triangle which is formed between the two eyes of the instru ment and the object aimed at. Different kinds of techniques are in use, so that they may be held in the hand, fixed to the side of a ship or set up on the earth, but the second type of art is the same, though their precision is less assured—Kansas City Star. CHANGED IN TIME'S COURSE Formation of Quotation Marks Not Always Exactly as They Are Seen Today. The use of quotation marks dates from about 1550. They were not common in books of the Eighteenth century in England, and when they were introduced the English printers refused to accept the French form, which consisted of two parentheses at the beginning and end of the quotation. When the English printers decided to use quotations, they substituted two inverted commas for the beginning and two apostrophes for the end of a quotation. Later, quotation marks in imitation of these, necessitating the setting of merely one type instead of two, were cast by certain founders. In his "Practise of Typography," Theodore L. DeVinne in the chapter on "Correct Composition" uses nothing but quotation marks beginning with tails up and closing with tails down. He illustrates the use of the French method of double parentheses. The introduction of quotation marks with tails down at the beginning of a quotation as well as tails down at the end is a comparatively recent innovation due to our appetite for novelty to create new forms. In the old Ben Franklin type the beginning quotations had their tails up; In the Bodoni type of today the quotations have their tails down. The standard of American typographical practice as reflected by the trade publications as well as books treating of the subject shows in the beginning quotations have tails up and ending quotations have tails down, but the craft cannot prevent the introduction of idiosyncrasies—Literary Digest.

MAY REVOLTIONIZE UNDERSEA WARFARE Tests of Californian's Invention Are Made in Italy and Prove Successful Thru the invention of a new type, one submarine class that was also and finally equipped to work which was a few weeks ago, almost of Trinidad, president of a training company, or of his successor, perished in oil burning process that brought him a fortune, to expend it to reconstruct what was as soon as soon as allowed the power of the present oilmight will be greatly minimized. While the success, security has been maintained regarding the burning of the new submarine vessel, it was learned that the craft recently was located at Kapuas and thus, far as preliminary tests are concerned, it comes up to all the hopes and as surmiser. The principal feature of the craft is that it is usurably a commercial boat. It is to be construed that there is not a need of unnecessary speed. The operator of the craft simply may control every control movement of the submarine. The craft, wine capule of being dismuerged by displacement, ordinarily is dismuerged by means of a three-mace propeller connected with its heel. In the event of an accident, crippling the inove power of the craft, an automatic arrangement sends the coat to the surface of the sea, thereby giving its operator a chance to escape. Always the vessel is submerged, except for its coming tower, the upper portion of which is only two inches above the surface of the water. Equipped with an especially designed 110-morse power motor the submarine, it is said, is capable of a speed of thirty-five knots an hour or greater; this speed applies to undersea navigation, owing to the fact no part of the vessel's hull is ever out or water. Ohio Species Have Fine, Lotty Flavor If Roasted and Eaten Like Sandwich. "Most excellent." That's what Queen Bliss, Jr. of San Antonio, Oro, says about grasshopper infestations, and blizzard outage to know—because he are one, says the Cleveland Press. "Grasshoppers may yet help solve the problem." the high cost of living," says Bliss. Bliss, who is assistant curator of the high school museum, was on a zoological trip with Louis Pusch and Larry Stuez, high school students. "When dinner time came we were near a bed in which grasshoppers were painful," said Bliss. "I suggested we make them into sandwiches. We ate them and found them fine. Each grasshopper was roasted until he turned red like a rooster, they have a fine, nutty flavor. If we could get some well-known man or woman to try grasshoppers, every one would soon be eating them. They could be caught in large numbers. The farmers would be benefited and the people would have a means to get cheap food. "I intend to eat many another grasshopper sandwich," Bliss declared to the Sandusky correspondent. RECORDS ROAD WEAR AND TEAR Machine Transmits All Variations to Roll or Paper. A machine has been devised in the Georgia School of Technology by means of which the wear and tear upon roads may be accurately measured. A recording mechanism on a toothed wheel is held in contact with point by a spring. The wheel of the machine rises and fans as it passes over irregularities in the road surface and these variations are transmitted to the record in horizontal lines drawn upon a continuous roll of paper by the pencil attached to the machine. The apparatus is light enough to be drawn over the road by the man making the test. If it is used at intervals over the roads of a given area the changes due to the wear and tear of the surface can be accurately determined. A Quick Response. Speaking of the helpful spirit, it is much in evidence in a 'dry' town," remarked a traveler. "You surprise me." "Yes. On one occasion while visiting a town of that sort I requested the loan of a corkscrew. Nine prominent citizens who were lounging in the hotel lobby at the time hastened to oblige me, and every blessed one of them asked me as a perscnal favor to let him draw the cork."

Japanese Are Wary of Those Promounced Like "Death" It is interesting to find science and superstition locking horns in connection with telephones in Japan. It is not strange to find convenience "cutting a figure" in the choice of numbers of instruments. A single figure phone seils in Tokyo for from 800 to 1,000 yen ($390 to $490) per year. The luckiest number, in the estimation of business men, is 8, because the character for it spreads downward and suggests the idea of gathering in prosperity. No. 763 is also a lucky number, because children are presented at Shintic shrines on their third, fifth and seventh birthdays. Indeed, odd numbers are lucky. Three figure numbers are not so reasonable, it they are easy to remember, like 123 or 555. The most unnusky numbers are 42 and 43; because the former may be pronounced "simal," which means "to use," and the latter may be pronounced "simal," which means "ceath" and "sintering." Therefore it is said that these numbers are avoided by individuals and are generally taken by government officers, schools, police stations, and other involuntary institutions. Another increasing point, not of super-sition, but of convenience, rather of inconvenience, is the face that numbers are not subrevealed as in America, but are always given in full. But the Japanese wont doubt because long sees the time-saving element in saying, too, two, three, four, instead of saying "one thousand two hundred and thirty-four," as yet they are not in a great hurry. THIS FICH IS MAGICIAN Puffs Self Up Co it cannot be Swal loved It is doubledless true that there are no inoculations in the sea and no Neptune water brown and flowing locust, but the species of the sea that do exist there are in many ways equally as interesting as the mythological form take the little puffer fish, for example, which has attracted the attention of scientists. From earliest times on account of its surewd habit or descent from ination. The moment it scents danger in the form of a larger fish, searching for a ominer, it instantly distends itself with water until it becomes almost spherical in shape, so that no ornately fish could swallow it. Director H. C. Townsend of the New York Aquarium, placed a few good sized soup, or porgues, in a tank which contained a dozen young puffers about two inches in length, which the hungry soup attacked at once. Instantly the baby punners inflated themselves and became a most globular in form, so that the larger man were unable to no more than knock them about like top balloons too large to be swallowed, and on which they could get no hold no matter how hard they tried.—Popular Science Monthly. He Now Plays Violin and Piano at Same Time. An ingenious musician has invented an apparatus by means of which he can play the piano and violin at the same time. The low of the violin is held by a wire attached to an upright the height of the rian's shoulder as he sits at the piano. The upright is supported by a base set upon four wheels which are moved by the left foot. The violin is supported from the plano by a brace with a hole large enough for the player's arm to pass thru. This arm enables him to tune the violin so that the proper strings come in contact with the bow operated by his foot. With his right hand he strikes the chords on the piano. The Medical Wag. A medical student who prided himself on being a humorist was running down the steps o. a hospital when he met a fellow student. "Hello, Brown," cried the latter, noticing that his friend looked pleased. "You're in a hurry. What's the matter—any good cases?" "I should think so!" replied Brown. "We've got a woman in the ward upstairs who is so cross-eyed that the tears run down her back." "Bless me!" said his friend. "You can't do anything with her, can you?" "I should think we can—in fact, we have," cried Brown. "We've treated her for bacteria." Marked improvement Marked improvement. "What happened to Professor Diggs?"

Would it not be better for all concerned if good English were used instead of bad Latin or worse Greek? one writer asks, and he then goes on to say: Hen-track writing of foreign words and obscure canabistic symbols most certainly do not render the physical any more curious, and the simpler language would perhaps prevent uneducated or overworked pharmacists poisoning customers by misreading directions. The suggestion is not new. Indeed, it is as old as the semi-occasional hints from bench and bar that it is time to have done with legal redundancy and verbiage and use plain language. Io is just now under discussion by the American Medical society. But nothing is done. Doctors still differ. The writer of the foregoing fails to explain why medical prescriptions are usually written in Latin. This is done as many times explained by those who are employed to answer questions, so that the prescriptions can be filled or reilled in any country where a regular and competent pharmacist can be found. POISON IVY HAG THREE LEAVES Virginia Creeper, With Five, Orten Mickelsen for Feared Plant. They don't pick ivy and take it home to cover broken walls; at least they don't do it more than once. Many people have just cause to remember it even. No doubt just a picture of the ivy is enough to cause some foxes to shudder and remember the time their face and body became scarlet and stained irqa contact with the leaves, how it itched and burned! Yet to run it was only to make matters worse. A curious fact is that some poxes are immune from this poison, while others must not even breathe the poison of the plant. It is often confounded with the virgina creeper, although the difference between them is distinct. The leaves of the latter are divided into five leaflets, white those of the former have but three, a fact well worth remembering. Strange enough, the witch hazel plant is sometimes found growing close to the poison ivy. As witch hazel catches as one of the best remedies for iv poisoning it would seem nature was holding disease in one land and a remedy in the other. Quick-fire Camera. Carl E. Akeley of the American Museum of Natural History has evolved a motion picture camera so novel in its construction and features that it gives promise of revolutionizing at least one of the diversified fields of motion picture photography—that of the naturalist and big game hunter. It is the first motion picture camera equipment with the necessary mechanism to enable it to enter the hitherto unexplored realm of the hand or still camera and thus place within the scope of the operator all the vast possibilities of quick action and instantaneous photography, says the Popular Science Monthly. As a hunter of a big game in the wilds of Africa, Mr. Ackley has used the ordinary motion picture camera, to find it deficient and even useless. He has attempted time and time again, and at risk of great personal danger, to photograph a herd of charging elephants, or an alligator stealing on its prey, or a trapped lion in its death throes, only to be disappointed in the finished film. He once had the rare opportunity to photograph a realattle between giant ants of the tropics, but before he could adjust the intricate mechanism of the camera and set it up it was too late. It stimulated him to concentrate his technical knowledge on plans for a new camera. There are parts of the Akeyel camera which have yet to be namec—they are so new. Indeed, the instrument is such a radical departure from the newest of the old style machines that it has few features in common with them. In form his camera is cylindrical. It rotates in a steel ring on ball bearings and is supported by a curved arm, which rises from a sub base on which the panoramic base rests when in operation. The complete apparatus, camera, and panoramic devices form a single compact unit to be used with or without a triprod. The camera can be mounted in the twinkling of an eye for rapid picture taking. It can be trained in any direction as accurately and as quickly as a cowboy can draw a gun. If a triprod is not at hand a window-sill, a rock, a saddle horn, a tree branch, a knee—in fact, anything stationary may serve as a base for operations. Where quick action is absolutely imperative, the newspaper photographer can film every stage of an exciting fire rescue, or a riot, or a sinking ship, or indeed, anything hereof solely within the compass of the hand or still camera. "There's a big difference between being level-headed and flat-headed." Fortunate is the man who knows how big a fool he can be without trying.

It took Hon. Harry C. Smith the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assailants with rifles, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may be hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v 182 5.) Section 6282. The legal representation of a person living from injury received from tying up by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such injury, and such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children, such sum shall be distributed to such sum shall be distributed to a kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of astate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempt to lynch another person shall commit in the provisions of this chapter or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one person killed by such (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding county, in which such county shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the侵害 and such mob person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed, or the county of indemnment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob.

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 1884: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-sharer, public convenience by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike in crimes and regardless of race or color, the placement of race commissions, 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 the fine, five hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars nor more than one aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is that the law is often as often as they should, but expect it to 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 outery for the passage of the Heavy hill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal of this city, venture to send you a separate cover, the Ohio Law Enforcement Feb. 8, 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.
