Louisville, Ky.—Notable progress in the betterment of conditions for our people and in the improvement of race relations was made in Kentucky, last year, according to reports presented at the annual meeting in this city of the State Commission on Interracial Cooperation. This Commission is headed by the Governor, and its membership of eighty, half of them Afro-Americans, is made up of representative leaders in all lines, including the State-Superintendent of Education, who is one of its most sympathetic members. It will be seen, therefore, that it is a most influential body, capable of bringing things to pass. The work is directed by Dr. James Bond, a race leader of ability and fine spirit, who has had the sympathy and cooperation of the best people of the state. The efforts of the Commission during the past year were largely directed toward better school facilities for our people. Remarkable results were attained, including the following: A $125,000 high school addition, a new school, and the improvement of others, in Louisville; a $100,000, high school in Lexington; enlargement of high school at Richmond; new buildings at Mayfield, Jackson, La Grange and other points; participation in proceeds of school bonds issues in Bowling Green, Owensboro and Middlesboro; and additional teachers and increased salaries in certain places. The director was asked by the State Superintendent of Education to outline a program for the betterment of our school system of the state, and suggested the appointment of an Afro-American supervisor, the raising of the State Normal to college grade, and the establishment of a new State Normal. This program was accepted, the first two steps have already been taken, and the third is confidently expected next year. The Director was asked to assist in locating the eight Afro-American summer Normals and was requested to address them all on the subject of interracial cooperation. He has taken the same message to the principal white colleges of the state and has been heard sympathetically everywhere. Some of these great schools have courses in interracial relations and plans are under way to put such courses in others. Better playground facilities have been secured in Louisville, Mayfield and Jackson, and plans are under way for a municipal swimming pool in Louisville. Legal aid has been extended in certain cases, privilege of membership in the Strawberry Association has been secured for our people of Warren County, a vigorous Health Week campaign was conducted, reaching 60,000 people, and one tense situation which threatened mob violence was cleared up. In addition to the State Interracial Commission, there are about seventy county committees in Kentucky, most of them functioning effectively. The method is that of frank conference and sympathetic cooperation. Would Divorce Her White Husband, Indianapolis,'Ind.—Mrs. Jennie Rickman recently discovered that her husband, Wilbur, is a white man, and has entered suit for a divorce on the grounds that she was not aware, of his claims, to white parentality until recently. The.Rickman's have been married twelve years and have three or four children. Wilbur has always passed as a Negro, but has a petition pending in court to have himself declared "white." He is 30 years old and claims, that until recently he has been, unable to prove his parentage, although he has a mother living in this city married to a colored man. It is claimed that his mother denies being a white woman, but it is generally thought that she is. 'Willbur has a brother in this city who is also married to a colored woman. Went Gone Abolished Want Cheney Abolished. Harrisburg, Pa.—Bishop Levi J. Coppin headed a delegation, last week, which asked Gov. Pinchot to abolish the Cheney Normal and In- Bishop Levi J.

"SHAKE YOUR FEET"A WELL NAMED SHOW Fast Dancing in The Great Revue Coming to the Globe Theater, Next Week. "Shake Your Feet," a new African-American musical comedy revue, which opens a week's engagement, Monday, at the Globe theater, is a show well named. Foot work is the dominant factor displayed by this aggregation of 40 players who contribute to an hour and a half of exceptionally diverting amusement. There are singers, comedians and manipulators of jazz instruments in great abundance but, it is to the steppers of the troupe that the prize laurels go. All the old familiar Negro dances are brought out as well as several newer eccentric steps that carn well merited applause. "Shake Your Feet" is in two acts and nine scenes and is given in the manner of the usual vaudeville and burlesque revue. E. E. Pugh is the star comedian and others among the featured members of the cast are Will Mastin, Virgile Richards, Joe Carmouche and Cleo Mitchell. The Norfolk Jazz Quartette and the Dixieland Jazz Kinks easily carry away the honors. The quartette sings two numbers with musical accompaniment and two, without, while the jazz band, appearing in the last scene, set in a cabaret, contributes four tuneful pieces that provide a rousing shouting finale. Harris and Holly, who were seen here recently in "Plantation Days," offer their comedy sketch, "Push 'Em and Pull 'Em," which proves to be the best individual comedy effort of the production.—Detroit (Mich.) Daily News. "Shake Your Feet" is really one of the greatest shows on the road and The Globe's many patrons are in for a real treat, next week. Do not fail to see it, tell your friends and acquaintances to do so also. Bishop Hartzell Wants to Return to Africa. San Antonio, Texas.—Although Bishop J. F. Hartzell, age 80, retired, served twenty years as Methodist bishop of Africa, he is planning to go back to Africa. Recently he said: "In spite of the fact that some of the countries of Europe have colonized vast areas of the land, the colonists never will grow in numbers until they can control the continent. The black races of Africa double their population almost every fifty years and it is a safe estimate that within the next 150 years there will be 400,000 natives on the continent. These vast numbers will not be denied their birth-right, and one of the greatest problems facing the civilized world today is whether or not they shall grow to be Christians or Mohammedans." A. 84,000 Verdict Cineluanni, O.—To Atty, Wm. B. Bush is due the honor of having won the largest verdict of any Afro-American attorney in this city. He represented Mrs. Laura Washington, of Glendale. In her appeal to the Common Pleas Court against the Industrial Commission of Ohio for an award on account of the death of her husband, resulting from injuries received at the place of his employment. At the first trial the jury gave her a verdict of $2,085. A new trial was granted. At the second trial, the jury could not agree, and at the third trial, last week, the jury gave her a verdict of $11,300 for 366 weeks, about $2,000 more than the first verdict. Too White to Marry Baltimore. Md.—Because Mrs. Catherine Hillin, age 46, was so white that she couldn't prove herself to be colored, a license clerk here, last week, refused to issue a license for her marriage to Emory Fells of York, Pa. REV. F. D. DAY. Rev. F. D Day, formerly one of the successful pastors of the A M. E. Church, has established a distributing agency for the higher grades of toilet-requisites at Wellington, Ohio. His business venture has proven very successful, thus far, and he attributes its success to a discovery (made while engaged in the barber business prior to his entering the ministry) of a combination of articles scientifically blended that actually bleaches the skin. Conceiving the idea, that members of the race would appreciate an opportunity to purchase the higher grade toilet-requisites from one of their own number, Mr. Day spent time and means to secure the best grade obtainable. In this, he was not mistaken as he is receiving orders from nearly every state in the Union. The growing demand for the bleach and other toilet articles will no doubt necessitate the employment of a greater clerical force. He has leased a two story brick building at 107 Public Square, Wellington, Ohio, where he has his laboratories and distributing agency.

Taylor & Son Co. that refused to permit Atty. Wm. R. Green, president of the dormant local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., to try on a hat in their store, several months ago? Will it be necessary to ask the National Urban League of N. Y. City which sent Secretary Wm. R. Conners to Cleveland? A NEW "PLAYHOUSE." The trustees of "The Playhouse," in E. 38th St., this city, have determined to have a new, proper and greatly needed home, and to that end will on March 1 launch a campaign to raise $250,000 to build and a quip a new plant. "The Playhouse" caters to all, without reference to class (race) or color, does a much needed work, has served its "apprenticeship" to splendid purpose under its very efficient director, R. W. Jelliffe, and his able assistants, and ought to have what it seeks. The campaign is to last two weeks and the canvass for funds is to be thorough. That is, all able are to be given an opportunity to and should contribute liberally to this great undertaking. Be generous as you can, for reasons obvious, and help to make this campaign an outstanding success. A GAZETTE ALUMNUS! When our good friend, the Rev. O. W. Childers, former pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, this city was appointed pastor of Eaker St. church, Dayton, the situation there was so very bad from almost every viewpoint that other ministers in the conference gave him only one year to stay. He has been there now more than three, raised $12,000 for a building fund and purchased one of the best locations in the state for the new church. He plans to start a $60,000 structure this spring. It will be one of the most complete church-buildings in the connection. The membership of Eaker St. church has increased from 300 to 700 and the supremacy of the great A. M. E. Church is again established in Dayton. Of course, it has taken patience and hard work, but Rev. Childers, a Gazette alumnus, has the former in abundance and his "middle name" is the latter. Then, too, he has splendid ability and is really a Christian minister. A NATIONAL HUMILIATION President Harding frankly told Congress that if the Ship aid bill is not passed, "the executive branch of the government may proceed as best it can to end the losses in liq- idation and humiliation." It is costing the government $50,000,000 a year to keep but a fraction of our merchant fleet in operation. No more of the vessels can be put in commission because of the legislative restrictions on the operation of American ships that make it quite impossible to compete with foreign vessels. The passage of the ship aid bill will remove at a stroke the deficits now accruing, take the government out of the shipping business compensate for the handicaps now attending the operation of American ships, secure for America a permanent merchant fleet to transport our goods to market in time of peace and give us a naval auxiliary in times of war, keep in this country about $150,000,000 a year that is now being paid to foreign ship owners in freight charges, and salvage from utter loss the investment of $3,000,000,000 that our taxpayers made in ships during the war. All those advantages can be realized at a maximum cost of $30,000,000 a year, and an actual cost of probably considerably less. It will indeed be a national humiliation if Congress, by its inaction, permits the people's wealth to be dissipated, and denies them the benefits of the pending measure. A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION In the $40,000 damage suit of J. H. Roberts, against the St. Louis-San Francisco Ry Co., Judge Robert W. Hall, in the Circuit Court at St. Louis, Mo., recently ruled that the railroad company had absolutely no defense under the "jim-crow" laws of the South as applied to interstate passengers. Roberts was forced into a "jim-crow" car by railroad employees when entering Oklahoma from Missouri, en route to McAllister, Okla., and his suit was the result. Judge Hall's decision has been our contention for years Editor W. E. B. Du Bois. we did not believe that any state could enact a law that would take from our people any of their rights as inter-state passengers. Several years ago, The Gazette urged Prof. "Alphabetical" DuBois, of the N. A. A. C. P., to use some of that organization's money to file a test case in the U. S. Supreme Court and get a ruling from it, believing then as we do now that such action was of far more importance to our people than frittering away valuable time and much money chasing "Federal antilynching law" shadows. States can legislate for intra-state passengers but not for inter-state passengers, and this fact Judge Hall's very important decision makes plain. Now will the "eminent" Dr. Prof. Editor William E. B. DuBois, alleged head of the N. A. A. C. P., act? We hope so. DAVIS AND FLEMING. New Jersey's Afro-American legislator, the Hon. Oliver Randolph, has introduced an anti-Ku Klux resolution and bill. What is the matter with Ohio's only Afro-American representative? Is he afraid to do likewise, to even try to do something? The Hon. Harry E. Davis of this city is serving his second term of two years in the Ohio Assembly and to date has done absolutely nothing of material benefit to his people. Come Harry, wake up! Do not longer emulate the baneful example of one Councilman Tom Fleming who has sat silent in the City Council of Cleveland for about PETER H. BURKE Hon. Harry E. Davls. six years and has absolutely nothing to his credit of material benefit to his Afro-American constituency. The Ku Klux Klan is "again" aliens, Catholics, Jews and Afro-Americans. ITHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEB. 24, 1923 It is generally understood that Davis is not only a member of the race but also a member of the Catholic Church. Therefore, he ought to have a double incentive to get active against the lawless organization that is so much "in the lime-light" here in Ohio as elsewhere, these days. GUM INDUSTRY HAS HUMBLE BEGINNING CHICLE BROUGHT TO U. S. BY CAN'T PLEASE THEM! Democrats absolutely refuse to be pleased with anything the Republicans may do. A while back they were denouncing the Republicans for what they were pleased to call "isolation." They wanted this country to do something to help Europe. Some of them wanted a complete conciliation of debts all around. Others wanted a large share of the debts remitted. They were quite agreed that under the Republican administration Uncle Sam is a Shylock, demanding the pound of flesh nearest Europe's heart. Use of the word "Shylock" became quite common in Democratic denunciation of Republican policies toward Europe. But how all that has changed. The Harding administration undertook to negotiate a funding of the debt with Great Britain, and an agreement was reached by which that country was to be given an extension of time and a reduction in the rate of interest. There was no conciliation of any of the principal. No sooner had it been announced that an agreement had been reached than Democratic leaders in Congress, reversing the attitude of their party, began a denunciation of the agreement because it did not exact full payment of the debt with interest. In their view the Harding administration is to be condemned for being too lenient with our former associate in the war. Only a few weeks ago the Republicans were criticised for not doing anything for Europe; now, when they have proposed a little lenency in the collection of the debt, and a remission part of the interest, the party is criticised for doing too much for Europe. Only a few weeks ago we were told that it is impossible for Europe to pay and that we were destroying our foreign markets by maintaining an oppressive attitude; now we are told that Europe can pay in full and ought to be made to pay. Only a few weeks ago we were at fault for "holding aloof" and now we are at fault for being too willing to help. In the meantime, there has been no change whatever in the Harding attitude toward the foreign debts. The administration has always expressed a desire to help Europe get back to normal, and has been ready to help in any proper way, but cancellation of the debt was held not to be a proper way. In fact, none of the nations owing us has ever asked for cancellation. The demand came from international bankers and from Democratic politicians. The Harding administration has attended to Government business in a business-like way, and, when the situation was discussed in all its phases, it was deemed best to extend the time of payment and reduce the rate of interest. But it is impossible to please the Democratic leaders. A PRIVILEGE --- OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. --- IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, dews itself and the world then will say, Negroes are not worthy of certain rights that make nature without self-respect 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 uneasy the discrimination may continue. The result is to deserve contempt. Boston (Mass.) Guardian. GUM INDUSTRY HAS HUMBLE BEGINNING CHICLE BROUGHT TO U. S. BY GEN. SANTA ANNA; NOW IT'S $0,000,000 TRADE Humor Enfoils First Futile Efforts to Vulcanize Product. Of what importance are diplomatic pericles when one realizes that Mexico furnishes the United States with chiele, the basis of chewing gum? Anc that the United States in return furnishes Mexico with a certain percentage of the $60,000,000 spent throughout the word each year for that chewing gum. Why lock further in a common ground? This entente cordiale was established just fifty years ago, and the negotiations were as follows: Gen. Sant. Anna, who was the original revolving president of Mexico, came, during one of his slack seasons, to confer with a friend at Sang Harbor, Staten Island. This was in June, 1866. He brought with him for relaxation, a few pieces of tasteless, rubbery gum which he tucked away in his bureau crawler against a dry cay. Soon after, there came to call one Trichia Adams and his son, Thomas, Jr. One pleasantly led to another, and before to afternoon was over they had reached such a state of familiarity that the general had gone to his bureau, taken out his private stock of chewings and offered some to Mr. Adams. Being somewhat of a conservative, the latter insisted on knowing what it was before he put it in his mouth, and learned that it was the gum of the capota tree, known to its intimates as "chicle." Thus reassured, Mr. Adams took a chance, and was at once impressed with its positsions as a commercial rubber. He begged for a larger place and took it home with him for experimental purposes, to see if it could not be vulgarized. In conference with a chemist and a manufacturer of dental supplies he tried to produce from it a substance which could be used as a base for artificial teeth, but fate had larger things in stol, for this bit of American chicle and the vulcanizing had to be given up. Thus was saved to the world a piece of potential health building teeth preserving, dissection aiding, chest developing, soul tuning chewing gum. One day, as they sat about the dissecting table, gazing hopelessly at the defiant mass of chicle, the remark was made in bitter jest that apparently the only thing the blamed stuff was good for was chewing. At which the younger Adams, with that keen business acumen which Americans always attribute to Americans, immediately decided that since it was only chewing that chicle was good for he would capitalize its limitations and make of it a chewing gum. Up to that time there had been parafine and spruce chewing-gum, but nothing with the smoothness promised by this new substance. So the father, with some misgivings, finally saw his way clear to settle $55 on his son with which to put the first piece of chicle chewing-gum on the market. On an initial investment of $35 a yearly business of $60,000,000 may be considered a fair return—World Outlook. HAS WEALTH IN TIMBER Honduras Contains Many Millions of Valuable Tres. "It is estimated that there are in the Mosquitia territory, Honduras, 90,000,000 pine trees, more than 45,000,000 cedar and mahogany trees, and about 14,000,000 trees of miscellaneous varieties. Valuing the pine trees at 25 cents, United States gold, each, or $22,500,000; the cedar and mahogany trees at $8 each, or $225,000; and the miscellaneous trees at 10 cents each or $1,400,000 gives an estimated forestal value of $248,900,000 for this territory alone. The Mosquitia territory has an area of about 9,000 square miles, and is the second largest political division in the republic. The population of the territory is about 5,000, the land is low and level, and it is traversed by the Negro, the Patuca, and the Coco rivers which are navigable for light-draft vessels for many miles into the interior. TELLS HOW TO COUGH SILENTLY It's Very Simple, According to This Doctor's Directions. The following directions as to how to cough are given by Dr. A. A. Pleyte in The Journal of the Outdoor Life: Fold your handkerchief so that it is about five inches square. Place it flat in the right hand, if you are right handed, and with this hand hold it tightly over the mouth. Press the hand on the mouth as to hold it loosely over the mouth will not accomplish the purpose. Now, instead of coughing and trying to muffle the sound in your throat or mouth muffle it with your handkerchief. Practice if until a person ten feet away cannot bear you. The sound made in coughing is due partly to air passing through the bronchial tubes and trachea and partly to the resonance produced in the chambers above the trachea. This sound can be almost wholly avoided and the irritation to the lungs and air passages prevented by keeping the air passage open and letting your handkerchief do the muffling.

Bishop Bashford estimates, in his new book on China, that although that country has in exceptionally heavy rainfall south of Yangtse, from fifty to seventy-five inches in many places, nait or three-quarters of the land is also under irrigation. The Chinese get the largest yield, per acre, per year of any farmers in the world. Meenwhile they also use the canals for water transportation and manage to grow enough fish in their irrigation trenches to make the rice they grow a little more appetizing. The smallness of the average farm and the cheapness of labor must dash the hopes of Americans who have expected to sell motor plows and harvesting machinery in China.—World Outlook.

And Tells the Kind of a Monument The "Mammies" Would Have Erected in Their Memory— Hot-Shot From Thomas. Washington, D. C.—Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Dunbar High school, this city, has written a letter to the local Evening Star, protesting against that newsaper's editorial endorsement of the plan to erect a memorial to "colored mammals" of the South in the national capital. After pointing out that the measure is sponsored by Senator John Sharp Williams of Missi- sippi he continues: "We are glad that the white race appreciates the divine virtues of truth and loyalty which the 'black mammy' bad, and has in abundance, but it overlooks the other divine virtue that is here, a divine love for her offspring. She bore her sufferings in patience because she believed that through them America's conscience would quicken and give her children, and her children's children the justice they so richly deserve. My own beloved mother was one of those unfortunate who had the flower of her youth spent in a slave cabin, and I know the heart of a slave mother, its intense longing for better things for her children. "Every 'black mammy' who looks down from Heaven today upon this disordered world delights to see her beautiful daughters and granddaughters aspiring and attaining unto the beautiful and the true in spite of the hardships she faces in spirit which proposes this monument throws around them. She loves to see them reading the best in literature, filling positions of usefulness, taking honors at the best universities in the land, and reigning over cultured homes, not as 'old mammy' as a dutiful wife and tender mother. "So if the South has such deep gratitude for the virtues of this devoted group from which it reaped vast riches, let it remove the numberless barriers it has gone out of its way to throw up against the progress of the noble Negro womanhood who sprang from these 'mammies' of the colorless manmity the 'colored mammy' wants erected to her, and not a marble shaft, which at best will be but a symbol of our servitude to remind white and black alike that the menial callings are our place in the scheme of things." "FAIR HARVARD?" What Oswald Garrison Villard' s Magazine Thinks of Its Race- Lines Against Afro-Americans and Jews. Some of Harvard's graduates have responded with a vim to President sowell's denial of the black man's right to share in democracy. Congressman Hamilton Fish, of the Class of 1910, a former Harvard football captain who was an officer of a Negro regiment during the war, writes: "It was good enough then in defense of our country to sleep alongside of our colored comrades, but it seems too much now to ask undergraduates to live in culture Negroes, although separated by partitions. This is not the spirit of democracy; it is not the spirit of New England. And it is not the spirit of Harvard." One of Harvard's most distinguished graduates of Civil War days writes that it is "shameful cowardice" to "accept dictation from the narrow-minded advocates of a prejudice which was never reasonable, even when it was prevalent, and which has long since become antiquated, effete, and (I had supposed) lifeless. . . . If any young man should decline to come because of his prejudice against some possible comrade I should say that the college was well prepared to defend himself, and he is logical he will feel obliged even to get out of the very world itself, which he must find open to the same objection." Oswald Garrison Villard And John Jay Chapman, Class of 1884, went to the very root of Mr. Lowell's mental confusion when he said: "So far as I live with Negroes is concerned, the southern students and their parents have no objection to it. They are entirely accustomed to it, and they like the Negro. If any white parent tells President Lowell that he cannot bear the thought of his son's sleeping in a room which abuts on the same quadrant with a Negro's room; or sit in a Negro's hall with a Negro's parent deerves Mr. Lowell. What the southern parent demands is that some stigma be put upon the Negro. He wishes Harvard to hang out, a flag discriminating against the black man." There is the point, Harvard, so long as it follows President Lowell's lead in this matter, is accepting and preaching the southern doctrine that, in the past, he was vehemently inferior to every all-white man. It is not true; Booker Wash- ington, on whom Harvard was proud to confer an honorary degree in 1896, and a score of other Negroes have stood out among Harvard graduates. There is a kind of boarding house snobbery in Mr. Lowell's policy which fits ill the distinction which has been Harvard's. In fairness to Harvard it must be added that it is the very glamor of her tradition which has exposed her to so much public attack. From the days when Robert Gould Shaw, of the Class of 1860, marched to his death at the head of the first Massachusetts Negro regiment in the Civil War, Harvard and Harvard men have stood out in the struggle to make real representations of the Emanuel Proclamation colegies, like Princeton, to their shamans, make no pretense at democracy, and Negroes altogether. Harvard still welcomes Negroes to most of her dormitories and eating-halls, as do most other northern colleges. It is only in the freshman halls, where residence is (for white men) theoretically compulsory there is not room enough for all) that the color line is drawn. But to draw it anywhere is to raise the black flag of race discrimination. You do not have to shake a man in the face for more than a moment to make plain your contempt for him. Harvard owes it to herself, to a magnificent Indian tradition, and to American democracy to refuse to make any racial discrimination, anywhere, at any time.

FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Attee Burpee.

Do YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

SATURDAY, FEB. 24, 1923 EXPERTS CITE POINTS TO BE OBSERVED IN ECONOMIZING ON MARBLE Stone Resources Not Inexhaustible, Report of Investigators. The utilization of waste, that ever important subject to the people of the United States, is being strongly urged upon marble quarrymen throughout the country by experts of the bureau of mines. Officials of the bureau have just recently completed a most interesting study of marble quarrying in this country, and as a result of their long investigations have given the marble men some very interesting things to think about, not the least of which is the utilization of their waste and the whole waste problem. The stone resources of the United States, although great, are by no means inexhaustible, especially the fine grade of marble. In giving their ideas to the marble men the experts of the bureau point out that aside from the value of the rock, much of which has always been wasted, the waste material incumbers the ground and interferences with their yard operations. The failure of some quarry companies, the officials think, is due to the quarrying of excessive amounts of material that remains unutilized. As in every other business, the problem of waste in the marble quarrying business is twofold. In the first place, it has to do with all types of improved equipment and modern methods of excavation which tend to keep the proportion of waste at a minimum, and in the second place it must deal with the various uses to which waste material may be applied. In other words, it is a problem, first, of waste elimination, and, second, of the utilization of whatever waste is unavoidable. Although the proportion of waste may be kept at a minimum by the adoption of economical quarry methods and efficient machinery, there is always, it has been found, more or less unavoidable waste. Many manufacturers in various lines of industry have found that the manufacture and sale of by-products from otherwise waste materials have placed their industries on a profitable basis. Bureau experts say that the tremendous heaps of waste material found near many marble quarries testify to the need of greater development along the line of waste utilization as well as waste avoidance. In their recommendations, the Bureau experts give the quarrymen much to think over relative to the utilization of their waste. In addition they give some interesting new ways of doing practical things and also urge that the quarries try the cost accounting method. Altogether, the bureau has done a great deal for the marble men in its investigation, and doubtless many of them will benefit in so far as they apply the methods urged by officials of the bureau. HOCS PAID FOR HOME Sow Costing $100 Vielded $3,500 Worth of Pigs. The story of the way in which Henry Pescenneyer of Iowa has become a leading swine breeder is told in Farm and Home by Fred L. Petty. It is the story of a struggle from a $10 a week job as harness maker to a prosperous harness shop of his own and from that, by slow degrees and in the face of many discouragements and losses, to his present standing as one of Iowa's most successful hog breeders. The start in pure-bred hogs was made with one registered sow kept in a pen on a town lot. From this the establishment grew to a five-acre lot on the edge o. town, then to a little farm where choicera destroyed his nerd, back to the five-acre dead area, then permanent success and big profits. Now he has the thirty acres of fine rolling land, a big fine house, new barns and hog houses and further improvements are projected for the near future. "I always took an interest in stock, especially hogs, and liked to handle them" said Mr. Fressenneyer. "One day was coming home from the shop at noon and saw several men grouped around a pen in a neighboring livestock barn. I went in and found them look at a big fine Poland China sow. I knew nothing at that time of the pure bred business, but the sow looked good to me. She was of big type and weighed 700 pounds. I paid $100 for her. This looked like a lot of money to my wife and me, and we talked it over pretty carefully before taking. It was a good buy, however, from that sow I raised eighteen pigs the first year that sold at $40 a head. I kept her until she died, and sold $500 worth of her own ples. These went out to local farmers at $25 to $50 a head." Later Mr. Freemeyer bought ten $150, and she then, did her job. Later he paid $450 for a paid hour. A Wonder, whence four lines down so much by impressing Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Leads the Country in Legislation Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of the Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896.

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.

The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ba ed. representative of victim of lynching ury by mob trying to lynch another st member of mob. st another county. jury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars.

Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if appropriate, and the sum shall be 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 laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered may be a part of the estate of such person who died from any of his liabilities. (93 m v 162.6). Section 6283.

(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 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 persons composing such mob.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) 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 $100,000, five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recourse to the court, concerned in jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the courts. Our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editoHally. NOT 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 was reviewed. Very trivial.
