Why "Jim Crow" Schools Failed in Springfield. The right kind of self-confidence is salvation; the wrong kind ruin. The C. R. P. league had the right kind of self-confidence and knowledge of the law to enable it to lead the successful fight to erase from Springfield's record the blot of having a "jim crow" school. The superintendent of the local schools, and his followers, had the wrong kind of self-confidence. Local "jim crow" school advocates were full of self-conceit and thought they could accomplish anything. They have learned better. Local Afro-Americans have had many results from city and town law, and many things have been done to lower our standard of living (riots, lynchings, etc.), but the unkindest cut of all was the effort of the Ku Klux superintendent of public schools and his "Ku Klux" Negro school teachers. The C. R. P. league's fight was a clean one. All of its business was put before the people in its public meetings. This won for them the respect and confidence of all right-thinking people. That is why its members, and all who "fought the good fight with them," can with the poet say: "There are goals I hope to gain. I want to earn them stain. Want to earn them in the light. Want to make them mine by right; And above the deeds I plan. First of all I'd play the man. Though for glorious crowns I dare, I would never be unfair." HILLSBORO.—Mrs. Robert White and children, and Mrs. A. Turner of Dayton are visiting their parents. —Mrs. Luella Campbell spent the week-end with Mrs. Asa Jackson. The former entertained Wesleyan's Ladies' Aid, last Friday afternoon. The Sisterhood was organized. —Lincoln's Mothers club held a good meeting, Sunday afternoon, at the A. M. E. church. —Harry Parson of Cincinnati visited his mother, last week. —Miss Gayla West and mother of Cincinnati were guests of Mrs. Louisa Young, last week. —Miss Anna Hawkins is ill. —Mr. Jesse Rickman died, Sunday, at Washington C.

(Continued on Page 2) One of the measures enacted by the general assembly of Ohio, now recessed, was a joint resolution directing the adjutant general to see Col. Charles Young. that this state is properly represented at the burial in Arlington of Col. Charles Young, a native of Ohio and the only colored American ever to attain his rank in the regular army. It is a merited public tribute to a race which has borne its parr through every war in which the United States has engaged with high credit to itself and to the country. Col. Young was a West Point graduate. In the war with Spain he was a heutenant of cavalry in the regular army but was assigned to command the Ninth battalion of Infantry, which he brought it to a state of conspicuous fitness. Thereafter he served in the Philippines, on the Mexican border and in the late war. He died still in line of duty in Libria. The body of Col. Young is expected to reach this country some time toward the latter part of May. It is a fitting climax to the career of this Ohio soldier and officer that the burial will be made on or near Memorial Day —Editorial, Cleveland, O., Plain Dealer (daily). Pulls Down Lowell's Bars. Harvard College's Board of Oversees Does the Job—Negroes And Jews the Beneficiaries. Cambridge, Mass.—Neither race nor creed is to bar any student from Harvard college. Problems affecting Jews and Afro-Americans, which have caused discussion for a year, were thus disposed of, Monday, by the board of overseers. The rules of rule for admission," a committee's report said. "Harvard college maintains its traditional policy of freedom from discrimination on grounds "Up to the capacity of the fresh- of race or religion. man halls, all members of the freshman class shall reside and board in the freshman halls, except those who are permitted by the dean of Harvard college to reside elsewhere, depending on this rule, of the white and colored races shall not be compelled to live and eat together, nor shall any man be excluded by reason of his color." Our question arose when Roscoe Conklin Bruce, himself a Harvard graduate, was informed that his son, Roscoe Conklin Bruce, Jr., a student preparing at Exeter, could endure not live in the freshman dormitory. Definite restrictions on Jews were proposed, and there was much discussion when the university announcement, regarding the necessity of limiting the enrollment of Jews, made reference to the large proportion of Jews in attendance upon the college. The board's committee reporting, Monday, recommended higher scholastic requirements for admission. White Medical Staff! Washington, D. C.—A definite plan for the exclusion of Afro-Americans from the medical staff of the U. S. Veterans Bureau hospital for "Negroes," located at Tuskegee, Ala., has been formulated. There is already a white superintendent in charge. He is Colonel R. H. Stain, a native Alabamian, who was transferred from the U. S. hospital at San Diego, Cal. Since his appointment he has let it become known that the personel of his medical staff will be entirely white. This is in agreement with the original plan, it seems. However, to appease the indignation of our over-interested officers for entire white Roosevelt was modified by the hiring of "Negro" laborers and orderlies, and later amended to include Afro-American nurses. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The Problem Here Gigantic, the One South Disastrous The Southland, Murderous, Lawless and Unchristian Says Dr. Byrd—No One Dare Attempt to Stem the Tide—Prepare to Care For and Help Newcomers. WILL APPEAL TO GOVERNOR! Unless the Mayor Wipes Out the Miserable Vice Conditions In the Section Most Thickly Inhabited by Our People —A Great Mass Meeting. (Special to The Gazette.) The Associated Press carried a news item, last week, that more than three million Negroes will have left the south on or before June and that a committee will meet in Washington, D.C., to direct their exodus. Leaving the south, will leave the problem behind them that will be disastrous and bring a problem with them that is gigantic. But let them come. They must solve their own problems. Leave the south should be the slogan until that section comes to its senses. We are informed that the southern forces (white) are depending upon Tuskegee influence to stop this exodus. If Tuskegee, or any one, gets in the way of this process, the south is murderous and unchristian! Not only are our people leaving it, but right-thinking whites are also leaving. The south should become "the haunts of owls and wild animals," if its people can't learn to be human. No self-respecting Negro can ask our people to remain where are not the fields. No man that is worth the shot that should blow his worthless race to remain where peonage, Ku Kluxism, "jim crowism," oppression and butchery are inflicted upon them for the smallest offence. "Southerism" is the bane of this country. Let our people leave the haunts of southern wickedness and migrate where people live. Let them brave any danger before they will longer bring up and educate their children to believe and concede that brutes that live by lynching are better than they. In fact the south is better than the north. That of the mob, be that mob one to lynch a member of the race or a Klux mob to whip a white woman. The Ku Klux arose to punish white criminals that the law in the hands of the lynching mob will not punish. The best thing for our people there is to leave. Allow nothing to make you remain and consign (Special to The Gazette.) Cincinnati, O.—The rotten vice conditions rampant in the west end, almost within the shadow of the city hall, which rivals those of wards 11 and 12 of Cleveland, caused our people to gather in a mass meeting at Union Baptist church, last week Monday night, which was attended by at least 600 persons. A committee was named to make a final call on the mayor and present a last appeal for relief, by May 7, from the miserable conditions complained of, and which are rereading the reports of many of our boys and girls as well as men and women. Dr. E. Duval Colley, who is leading in the movement, said to representatives of the local daily Another Black Frenchman Who Knows How to Fight. Paris, France.-Gratier Candace, member of the Chamber of Deputies from the Island of Gaudeloupe, has written Première Poincaré announcing his intention to question the premier in the chamber concerning the withdrawal from the Ruhr of 200 soldiers from Martinique and Guadeloupe. He says statements published regarding the withdrawal, permit the inference that it was inimitable German campaign against troop color, notwithstanding straightforward and unexequential-testimonials in their favor from Americans, such as Major Gen. Henry T. Allen and Col. Coleman, after a searching investigation." The letter concludes by saying that at a moment when France is about to ask her colonies to furnish one of her military effects she thought to be beneficial to her overseas possessions by "resisting the dissolved action of all foreign propaganda." Good! for Monsieur Candace.

Now is the time for the N. A. A. C. P. to "get busy" and make the way of this coming band pleasant. The idle farms of the north should be pointed out to them. The factories that need laborers should be put in touch with these sons of toll, as they come from the river. Every year a job should be done to welcome these people. An organization of brain and men of vision can do the country now a great service. Come on, black brother, we shall aid you. Oh! that eight millions would leave the land of Overman, Pat Harrison and the other fire-eating mob beneficiaries of the south! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. TO GOVERNOR! Miserable Vice Conditions In the inhabited by Our People class Meeting. press, last week Tuesday: "Two committees already have called on city officials to clamp the lid on open vice dens, but these appeals have been ignored. We will make the third and final request. If there is no change for the better will be asked to the governor. We then will ask the governor to investigate to satisfy him that what we say is true "We will ask the governor to take steps similar to those taken at Massillon, where the mayor was ousted on a charge of failure to enforce the laws." At the mass meeting, the vice conditions complained of were thoroughly discussed. It was said that "scarlet" women walk the streets openly and policemen talk with them, that narcotic drugs are pedaled, "speakeasies" and "bootlegger" by their trade openly, gambling flourishes and that "Negro youths on the streets are subject to constant temptation. There is no chance for Negro boys and girls becoming good citizens under the present conditions. They will grow up as criminals and become Police Court characters." Resolutions, praising a local daily publication ("The Post") for its exposure of the rotten vice conditions, were unanimously adopted at the meeting, which concluded as follows: "We protest the deplorable vice conditions now fragrant in the West end. Your recent articles brought a glimmer of light to our race against which the greater crimes are perpetrated. "We are in favor of a general cleanup of all conditions now practised so boldly by the inmates of vice dens. We have the facts which will support our protest in every way." The resolutions were signed by W. J. Decatur, James Matthews and Dr. Colley. The next meeting will be held.

SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 Announcement of the resignation of President Lowell of Harvard University would give us full confidence in the recent decision of that famous institution's board of overseers. On Sunday afternoon at Cadiz, Ohio, was laid to rest the remains of Hon. L. H. Scott, one of the truest and best white friends our people in the state of Ohio had. His death is really a great loss to Ohio Afro-Americans. SOUR GRAPES Lloyd George declares that British prestige fades under Bonar Law. The little Welshman still believes the Britishers should "let George do it." The truth is that the colors in British prestige were running when they decided to put George on the retired list. Law may not possess the brilliancy and evasiveness and political finesse of George, but in point of reliability, sincerity, and practical common sense, he has it all over the former prime minister. REMEMBER! Not only did the Republicans, in their 1921 internal revenue bill, take about $800,000,000 from the tax burden of the people, but they paved the way for a national prosperity that is likely to make possible further tax reductions in the near future. It is understood that the income tax collections for March 15 were about $50,000,000 greater than had been estimated. Collections will continue to increase as the prosperity wave adds to taxable incomes, and the point may soon be reached where the ordinary expenses of the government, plus reasonable annual payments on the national debt, may be met with lower income tax rates than at present. But the voters should remember that that hope can be realized only by continuing in power the party whose policies will make it possible. TEN DOLLARS TOO MUCH. The Democrats are starting their 1924 war chest by organizing "victory clubs," each member of which is expected to contribute $10 to the cause. The party hopes to raise $1,000,000 by that method. It is doomed to disappointment. People of moderate means, to whom the scheme is expected to make special appeal, are the very ones who have been most directly benefited by the Republican policies of the last two years. Income tax exemptions have been increased. Liberty Bonds have been brought back to par, and plenty of work at good wages is available to everyone who wants it. Those are some of the things that contribute to the contentment of the average family, and intelligent people know where to place the credit for what has been done. They are not going to help finance a party that seeks to govern the country according to different policies. A "HOWLING WILDERNESS," AGAIN! Central Ave. in ward 11. seems to be rapidly drifting back to the distressing conditions that prevailed during the "Starlight" Boyd-Fleming regime. One night last week, the vicinity of E. 30 St., between Scovill and Central Aves., was thorny aroused by the pitiful screams of a woman who in all probability was being severely beaten. A common occurrence! A little later on, after midnight, revolver shots were so rapid and numerous as to make one recall the old time fourth of July celebration. On another evening of that week, the police raided a house on Central Ave., between E. 27th and E. 28th Sts., where an "oyster sturter" was in progress, with "hooch" largely in evidence, and arrested thirty-nine men and women. Gambling, "bootlegging" and "dope" selling are notorious in that section of the city. Our two local ministers' organizations and their churches can get helpful action from Mayor Kohler if they will but ask it. A MINISTER'S SON. "Dick" Sissle, who as municipal court probation officer, was instrumental in obtaining paroles for thousands of criminals, was himself denied a parole, Monday morning, and was sentenced from one to ten years in the penitentiary after pleading guilty to a charge of embezzlement. Sissle, who lives at 2215 E. 82d St., pleaded guilty on Feb. 27 to embezzling $505.70 in city funds during the period between April 1 and Nov. 1, 1922, while he was municipal court probation officer. Sentence was deferred until the common pleas court probation department investigated his case. In a report submitted to Judge Phillips the department ruled adversely on a parole and the court sentenced Sissle. Thus passes out still another victim of the loose way the city's affairs were conducted under Mayors Davis and FitzGerald and their heart-rending conditions in the Ward 11 district where Sissle lived and was active in politics for a long time, a cog in the Davis-FitzGerald-Maschke-"Starlight" Boyd-Fleming machine." A good wife and a lovely little boy, Sissle's family, now must suffer for something they are in nowise to blame for. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE Kelly Miller's Suggestion Seems to Be "Taking Root" - An "All- New York City.—Announcement was made, Saturday, that six of our "national" organizations had met here, March 23 and 24, and had signed a concordat calling for a united front against forces opposed to the race. At the same time a call was issued for an "All Race Conference" not later than April 1, 1924, at which would be considered lynching, Ku Kluxism, segregation, distranchise, unequal enforcement of law and'peonage. The call for forth that our future outlook had reached a critical stage and that "in this time of readjustment it is growing a very menacing spirit of resistance against the race and determination to defeat the Afro-American down into the most servile and degrading status and maintain him there forever. The need is urgent for the assembling of a national All Race Conference to ferret out and unmask the hostile forces arrayed against the race, to formulate a plan of defense and protection and to devise ways and means for full emancipation." THE GLOBE THEATER Bill Pickett, in the "Bull-Doger" at the Globe this week, demonstrates to the satisfaction of all his claim to being our "world's champion." The large nightly audiences have certainly been more than pleased with his intensely interesting and really unique act, for it is out of the ordinary. Supplemented with the usual five splendid acts of murder, that are "right up to the minute," he has a satisfactory evening's entertainment to ensure all who attend the Globe, this week. Next week, Manager Bob Davis will have the "Original Plantation Four," direct from a thirty day run in Chicago which of course means that they are away above the average of the best. In addition, there will be in evidence, as usual, the four officially selected acts of vaudeville, all of which assure us will make up a bill that lasts light the Globe's hundreds of steady patrons, all their friends and others who attend the theater. McGinnis—Obituary B. C. McGinnis, age 51, an old and respected resident of this city, ill since last May, died at his home, 2450 E. 30th St. Monday afternoon. Funeral services, in charge of the local lodge of Elks, were held at Slaughter Bros. funeral chapel, Tuesday evening, 8 P. M., after the remains were shipped to Ridgeway and for burial. Rev. J. W. Yewell preachin' mon. Mrs. Ollie McGinnis, his youngest sister, arrived, last Friday, from Dayton and accompanied the remains to Ridgeway. "Mac", as he was familiarly called by a host of friends and acquaintances, will be greatly missed because, while quiet and conservative, he was genial, hospitable to an exceptional degree and a man of intelligence and ability. Many years ago, he taught good in the section of Ohio near his home, where he arrived in the city, Mr. McGinnis regarded as one of his friends by the editor of The Gazette who sincerely mourns his demise. Schools Columbus, O.-At the third annual educational conference, at Ohio State university under direction of the College of Education, last week, Prof. Coleman of Columbia university, among other things said: "Children of America must be educated in a common school, supported by the children of the entire people." He said this when deploring the prevalence of special and separate schools.

Siki Still Champion No world's championship was involved in the Ski-Mtigue fight at Dublin, Mar 17, according to Albert Boundariat, vice-president of the French Boxing Federation, in a statement to L'Auto. In the first place, the official said, the rules require that the adversary of a champion must challenge formally, which McTigue never did. Secondly, the referee must be appointed by the International Boxing Union. This condition was also unfilled. He concluded that Ski may have been beaten by McTigue, but that he cannot lose his title of light-heavy- FRESH OHIO NEWS (Continued From Page 1) —Wesleyan's brotherhood met at the pastor's, April 3.

Educator Deplores Separate 100,000 Left in Last Six Months. Jackson, Miss.—The exodus of Negroes from this state, as well as Georgia and Alabama, has caused a panic among plantation owners. There are 1,000,000 Negroes in Mississippi, and it is estimated that one-tenth of that number has left the state within the past six months. At that rate it will be but a short time until the state will be stripped of its plantation labor. Plantation owners are millions of plantationers. That they are genuinely alarmed is indicated by their willingness to make an effort to stop the migration by improving conditions on the plantations. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; I write more to tell it deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. weight champion because the fight was not for the title.

ANCIENT PRESCRIPTIONS FOUND TO BE VAUABLE IN BY GONE YEARS Earliest Remedies Said to Possess Very Much Merit. Because Americans buy and use such large quantities of patent medicines that many manufacturers have made large fortunes in the business one might naturally conclude that 'there is a great deal physically wrong with the people of this country and that this is the age of patent medicines, but it appears that secret medical preparations were made and vended in large quantities many centuries ago. Indeed a few of these secret remedies became so popular and were considered of so much value to sailing humanity that the reigning monarchs in past centuries bought the secrets from their discovers paying for them large sums of money. It has been found for example, that Louis XIV of France paid handsome sums for three such preparations, namely, Helvetius' ipocac remedy, Glauber's kermis mineral and Talbor's cinchona remedy. It would seem that some of the early secret remedies must have possessed some merit, for some that were patented as early as the sixteenth centuries are now standard remedies, being highly esteemed and sold in large quantities. An interesting and unusual fact in connection with some of the medicines which made their debut as patent remedies is that they are now held in good repute by practicing physicians who prescribe them for their patients. Among these are Fowler's solution of potassium arsenate, which was first made by an apothecary named Fowler who kept the remedy as a secret and refused to admit that it contained an acetic. Another is paragoric which was originated by Dr. Le Mori of the Legend university and still another is Dover's powders, first prepared by Thomas Dover, a doctor and pirate. Common bicarbonate of soda, which is universally used in cooking was originated under the name of "universal salz" by a Berlin apothecary. Although all modern physicians look with contempt on patent medicines, some of the earliest of the preparations were introduced by physicians. For example, one Dr. Gregory a professor of medicine at Edinburgh, originated a compound powder of rhubarb; Dr. Turner a distinguished surgeon of London introduced an ointment—calamine ointment—and Dr. Snydenham, a noted English physician, brought out wine of opium. FLORIDA MOUND YIELDS BONES OF HUGE INDIANS A prehistoric burial mound of the Seminole Indians has just been found at Magnolia Springs, Fla. Dr. E. J. Tomson and John Kendrick, a well known artist of New York, made the discovery a few days ago, and after two days of excavation. Three skeletons, half a dozen skulls four arrow heads, and pieces of pottery, were obtained on the first day, three more skeletons and six arrow heads and stone axes were dug up. Dr. Tomson said it was impossible to say how long the bodies and relics had been buried there, but he believed them to be prehistoric. The skeletons all measured more than 6 feet. One measuring 6 feet 6 inches is perfectly preserved, and in the skull the teeth remain perfect. The size of the jaw is remarkable. The root of a tree has grown in the exact shape of another skull. The skeletons were found lying face downward with heads to the south. It is a known fact that the aborigines buried with their chiefs and priests their favorite pieces of pottery containing food to nourish them on their journey to the Happy Hunting Ground. It is also known that the tribes burned the sand so as to preserve their dead and Dr. Tomson says the sand excavated has the queer look of burned sand. As there is no suitable stone in Florida the doctor has concluded that the arrow heads originally came from some of the Northern Indian tribes. The mound is sixty feet long, 30 feet wide and twelve feet high. It is located in a clump of live oaks and long leaf pines, 200 feet from the St. John's River. The largest four trees almost mark the four corners of the mound. They are nearly 50 feet high and 4 feet in diameter. The explorers are continuing their work in the hope of adding more curious to their collections. They will send the skeletons to the Museums of Natural History at Jacksonville and New York. To Make Compass on Watch A watch may be used to determine the points of the compass by pointing the hour hand at the sun any time of the day and then placing the small piece of straight wire crosswise between the hour hand and the figure 12, getting exactly half way. The point of the wire which comes between the 12 and the hour hand always扣 due south. PRESCRIPTION SENT BY WIRELESS SAVED BABE Believed to Be First Message of Kind Ever Flashed to a Ship at Sea. A wireless message from a ship several hundred miles away was picked up by the Cape Hatteras station and vas of such unusual nature that it is believed to be the first of its kind ever flashed thru the air with successful results. The message stated that a baby on board the vessel was critically ill and that the ship's physician was baffled by the malady $c^{-}$ the child. The wireless stated that the doctor had exhausted his medical skill without avail and made a pitiful appeal on the part of the broken hearted mother of the child of any physician who might get the radio and be able to prescribe for the infant. With the symptoms given the operator at Hatteras sent the message to Dr. Sutton, two miles away from the station. The doctor gave the operator a prescription and the latter at once flashed it thru the air. A few hours later the operator received another wireless saying the prescription had been filled from the ship's pharmacy and that the child had shown immediate improvement. It was then considered out of danger. INVENTS AN ELECTRIC "HAND" Enables Crippled Men to Perform Di versified Labor After years of experience Director Klingenberg of the General Electric Company of Berlin, Germany, has announced the perfection of an "electromagnetic hand," with which it is possible to grasp even the heaviest metal objects and work with them as advantageously as with human hands. Dr. Klingenberg has evolved an unusually powerful battery which can be carried by the operator, making it unnecessary for him to be near an electric current in order to magnetize the "hand." The invention it is said, can perform all the functions of the human hand and others besides. The current is regulated by a switch operated by hand and foot. It is hoped the invention will solve the problem of livelihood for many crippled soldiers, enabling them to engage even in trades requiring considerable manual dexterity, such as carpentry. By its use the manipulation of knife and fork and similar instruments is a bagatelle. DEVICE FOR PIANO STUDENTS Instrument for Strengthening and Limbering Fingers For strengthening and limbering the fingers of pupils beginning the study of the piano, a device of very simple construction is made which may be adjusted to suit the requirements of different users. It consists of a lever held between two uprights and connected by a spring with a crossbar above. Notches cut in the under surface of the movable member and the top side of the crosspiece provide graduated spaces in which to place the rings holding the spring, so that the tension may be varied as desired. The lever bar is secured to the rear upright by means of a hinge and moves in a groove extending thru the front one. At the fore part of the apparatus is a rest which enables the wrist to be held in the correct position while different fingers are being exercised. POWER OF ELECTRIC WAVES Can Destroy Warships and Armies Says Scientist. "It is conceivable that means can be devised for the transmission thru space of a sufficient amount of energy in electrical form to exterminate an army of men or to destroy battleships on the high seas," Dr. Raymond F. Bacon of Pittsburgh declared in Columbus, Ohio, in an address before the American Association for Advancement of Science. Dr. Bacon, who is director of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research and school of specific industries of the University of Pittsburgh, explained that his assertion was based on facts already known about transmitting electric impulses. His talk was largely a plea for government aid in scientific work. Revolves and Can Be Adjusted at Any Anole. A new motorman's seat invented by a Vermont man is said to have an advantage over the ordinary motorman's seat in that it has both a revolving and stationary top. It can also be adjusted at almost any angle by means of a mechanism. This seat has been in use on all of the cars of the Burlington Traction Company for several weeks and has been found to be satisfactory. It is specially designed for air controlled cars. The work of their manufacture will be begun on a small scale at first, or until a factory can be built or secured. GETS PATENT ON EGG CARRIER Wisconsin Man's Invention Soon to Be on Market A patented egg carrier by which a person can pick up three dozen eggs at a time, quickly bulbs them over a set of electric bulbs and transfer the eggs to the case in which they are to be conveyed to market is soon to appear. It's inventor is a Wisconsin THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1923 FIR BRICK USED FOR TANNING EXTRACTION METHOD DISCOVERED BY UNIVERSITY STUDENT Bark Costs $11.50 a Cord According To Reliable Reports Fir slabs, the disposition of which is such a problem for the sawmills of the northwest, can be utilized profitably in making tannin Their tannle content and the method of extracting it have been discovered by Thomas G. Thompson, a student at the University of Washington, working under the direction of Prof. H. K. Benson. The results of his experiments are to be presented to the American Chemical Society at its meeting in Seattle this week. Thompson say the University of Washington Bulletin, found that from three cords of fir slabs he could obtain as much of the extract, which is used in tanning and in the manufacture of inks and dyes, as from a cord of western hemlock bark. The bark costs $11.50 a cord, where as three cords of fir slabs may be bought at anywhere from three to six dollars, depending on the location of the mills. Further, the tannin content of chestnut wood which yields 200,000,000 pounds of extract annually in the east, is only little greater than that of the fir slab. Chestnut has as a average content of 6.62 per cent, while the fir slab runs from 5.45 to 5.92 per cent. The soft, brown inner lining of the bark on the slabs contains nearly 10 per cent tannin. This however, is not readily separated from the bark and wood, hence the entire slab is submitted to the process which liberates the extract. SUBSTITUTE FOR GASOLINE Supply is Limited So Far and Means Nothing Commercially, Says Railway Official. Stimulated by the scarcity of gasoline and its soaring price, chemists of a railway and light company at Rochester, N. Y., have discovered a substitute for use in gas engines. The new fuel is being manufactured in sufficient quantities for use in the company's service automobiles. In speaking of the welcome substitute one of the officials of the company raid: "This is not to be taken as a discovery of a substitute for gasoline for which the automobile world has been waiting so long. However, we have found a way of distilling a motor engine fuel from a by-product of oil used in the manufacture of water gas. There will be no difficulty in supplying our demand for gas engine fuel at a material reduction from the price of gasoline. But the supply of the fuel is somewhat limited, and will mean nothing commercially so far as the company is concerned." But like every welcome and economical discovery, there is something about the new uel which threatens to take the joy out of life, as the popular saying goes. That thing is the smell. The official describing the important discovery admitted that some sections of the city would start a prompt investigation if a whiff of the highly scented fuel was borne to their nostrils. The substitute for gasoline is said to smell like water gas—only worse. The unpleasant odor is to be detected only when the unburned fuel leaks cut thru a faulty carburetor. Chemists who are working on the discovery are striving to remedy that trouble and are determined to accomplish their aim, even if they have to scent the fuel with attax of roses. "PEARLS" NOW MADE OF GLASS Globes Filled With Fish Scale Nacre a Clever Imitation Clever imitation pearls have been made by filling thin glass bulbs with a solution of fish scale, nacre. Another method is to coat the inside of the glass bulbs with a 10 per cent gelatin solution which is permitted to become only partially dry before a small amount of sodium phosphate is added, then the drying process is continued slowly. The imitations look much like genuine pearls, but they can be detected by noting the place where the bulbs have been sealed. Pipes for Cold Water From Shelves Inside Box. A new automatic cooler of extreme simplicity and acknowledged efficiency consists merely as a series of small pipes so arranged that a layer of pipes forms each shelf in the cooler. Connection is made with the water main. In this way incoming cold water passes thru the cooler pipes every time a faucet is turned on in the house. It is better ventilated than the usual ice box because of the constant circulation of freshly cooled air thru it. Fuel Controlling Valve A Davenport, Iowa, man has been granted a patent on a valve for controlling the flow of fuel to carburetors and for straining such fuel.

Upon the request of many reader, 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 as applicable, is aware of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay of less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person 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 problem is often not used 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 Browne Journal published an edi- tion to the bill that zettle repheth, 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. Hon. Harry C. Wilson. Editors: My Dear Sir: Observing our 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, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, i. administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
