Operating in Five, Will Soon Enter Nine Additional States, Virginia Included. To Increase Capital Stock COMPANY HAS MADE FINE RECORD IN THREE YEARS Norfolk, Va., Apr. 25, '23. The South as a whole has made very satisfactory and substantial progress during the past few years. No section of the nation has caught the spirit of business revival with more enthusiasm than the South. and in this section has sprung up one of the most virile and promising business organizations in the country in the form of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, of Durham, North Carolina. The interesting story of its origin and growth has none of the mushroom features, but reflects sound planning and financing, capable management and constructive building upon a solid superstructure. Started Business in 1920. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company began operations in North Carolina in 1920. While carefully charting its course and building up a profitable business in that State it has been likewise making plans for expansion in other States, and as a result is now doing a lucrative business in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Operating In Fire States. The company is now operating in five states, in each one of which it has won an enviable reputation by the honest business methods employed in dealing with all its patrons. The promptness with which it has adjusted each fire loss since its organization has been commended throughout the country, and especially in each locality where the company is doing business. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company is justly proud of its record and is doing everything in its power to justify Cincinnati were called here, last week, by their father's serious illness.—Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Frye of Xonia spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Milton Day.

As would naturally be expected the good name of the company has "gone abroad," and it is, being sought in other States of the Union. Its quick and immediate responses made to alleviate suffering wherever its patrons have been affected have caused numerous letters to come from every State in the Union seeking the company's services. These requests have become so urgent until it has been decided to prepare to immediately enter Virginia, West Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. WILL INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK These invitations to the company to enter other states have been accompanied with letters from persons desiring to own Bankers' Fire Insurance Company stock. To meet these requests and provide for a wider distribution of this stock, the company plans in the near future to increase its capital and distribute th new issue largely. In the new territory to be developed. As part of this is to enable home-owners to purchase fire insurance from a company owned and controlled by local interests. The new territory to be entered offers an unusual opportunity for the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company not only to render a large service to these communities, but offers also employment to a large number of persons. Resource Large and Growing. The company's resources of more than $300,000.00 are more than ample to protect every present policy holder. The meeting of every claim promptly after the great New Bern, North Carolina, conflagration, attests this fact. The facility with which the company met this exigency was a practical demonstration of its strength and is justly referred to by the officers and stockholders with pride. The company is the first of its kind organized, owned and operated entirely by Afro-Americans, and it numbers among its officers and directors some of the most capable and experienced business men the race has produced. Its officers and directors have been selected from men of large holdings, who have been highly successful in their own personal and business affairs. Its office routine is carried on by men and women specially trained and equipped for such work. Its busi- OFFERS LABOR TO STEEEL KING Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Asks U. S. Steel Corporation to Use Our Unskilled Labor of the South. Washington, D. C.—Replying to the statement of Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the U. S. Steel Corporation, as carried in Associated Press, dispatches, recently, stating that the immigration bars should be lowered so as to allow foreign labor to enter the country to develop the country's resources, as the Judge put R, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, Howard University, and formerly special assistant to Secretary of Dr. Emmiett J. Scott, War Newton D. Baker during the World War, addressed a letter to Mr. Gary in which he called attention to the twelve million Afro-Americans, the bulk of whom are laborers in the South and are prepared and willing to develop the resources of the country if given the opportunity to do it. In his letter to Judge Gary, Mr. Scott said: "I have read with interest your statement reported in Associated Press dispatches this morning deploring alleged shortages of labor due principally to present immigration laws. You are reported to have said that 'there is a great abundance of labor on the other side of the world that would be glad to come here and develop our American resources.' May I venture to say that there are in this country today twelve million colored people. Eight million of these twelve million are in the South. They are citizens of the American Republic. They are tied to a one crop system and oppressed by economic conditions that hinder and prevent the fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship. They possess strong bodies and have a real patriotic attachment to American institutions. They are in a position to supply the labor shortage to which you refer if plans are undertaken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed. It seems unnecessary to look to foreign shores to supply any labor shortage that may exist in American industries when there is this large and sympathetic group within reach. These colored Americans are not aliens, they have never sought to disrupt the government nor do they harbor Bolshevistic or Anarchistic ideals. They are ready and willing to help develop the resources of their country. Will it not be possible for one circumstanced as you are to lend the weight of your great influence in opening larger economic opportunities for this group who are struggling under adverse conditions in the rural districts of the far South where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. Your support of such a movement will be grately appreciated." ness is carried on exactly like the business of the oldest and largest fire insurance companies in America. The company's growth in usefulness, prestige, popularity and resources not only attests the ability and capacity of the management selected, but the confidence placed in it by the public. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company is no longer an experiment, because it has successfully met the hazard and the test of the pioneer. It is a going and growing reality, with the thoughts and the eyes of the public being focused upon it more and more each day, and it is measuring up to the most exacting requirements of an efficient organization of its kind. The officers of the company are: W. G. Pearson, president; C. C. Paulding, A. M. Moore, A. J. Strong, vice-presidents; J. M. Avery, treasurer; W. Gomez, secretary-manager; M. A. Golns, assistant secretary. The home office is in Durham, N. C. The N. Y. Senate Opposes Klan. Albany, April 24.—An anti-Ku Klux Klan bill, which would require membership organizations to file with the secretary of state copies of their constitution and oath of membership, together with the names of officers and members, was passed today by the senate. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS What American Race Prejudice, Backed by American Dollars and Their Influence, Is Doing Against Black People In Europe (Special to The Gazette.) Paris, France, April 19, 1923. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—One of the daily papers of London, the first two weeks of March, published some very nasty articles relative to the arrival of the New York show "Plantation Days," composed of Afro-American. This paper came right out in bold type and said everything it possibly could against these people and the word "n—r" was printed in very bold type and was used in almost every sentence. This same paper, "The Graphic," from appearances is an organ of the London Ku-Klux-Klan, judging from its attitude toward the black race, especially the Afro-American who without doubt is the most intelligent and richest "Negro" in the world and most progressive, taken as a whole. This paper published pictures of recent Ku-Klux-Klan operations in England, showing demonstrations in favor of the society and even showing a picture of a fake lynching party with the word "n—r" plainly written and how he "should be dealt with." Enough to make any man, with red blood in his veins, boil. From recent reports of the Englishman's attitude towards us, things are really growing worse than better. London, England, now is on the same level as Georgia or Texas, in regards to us. The American dollars have brought this, too, about there, and is slowly doing the same thing right here in France. Just the other day the manager of the place where. I am working POLICE STAR Detective Smith on Force 27 Years.

London Paper's Abuse Diatribe. judice, Backed by American influence, Is Doing People In Europe deliberately insulted two French Negroes who had come in to take tea, and really ordered them and their lady companions out of the place. You can imagine just how I felt, and having to swallow it, too. About the same position the Pullman car porter and the dining car waiter is in, in the South, when on American railroads. The newspaper published by French Negroes tells many things as to what France does in Africa and her other black colonies. There is a formidable-propaganda against black people, more prevalent now than before the war, in effect now. England and America seem to lead in the fight (as they call it) for "white supremacy," and the black people all over are getting their eyes open to the fact; too. Education, racial pride and unity among our people are the three great factors that we must grasp immediately. Now is the time to act! At the meeting of the French branch of the Pan-African Congress, Sunday, the Minister from Liberia and the black French deputies (corresponding to U. S. senators) will no doubt speak upon this topic. Personally, now more than ever, I have been brought to realize the fact that as a race, all over the world, we are in the beginning of a great and proper realization of our place in the world and the development of real racial consciousness. That's why I think so much of men like the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland and Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston, U. S. A. W. R. C. ord run with Chief Corner. He led a list of 150 applicants for enrolment in the police department, Jan. 28, 1897. He has held positions under Kohler, Rowe, Smith and Graul. Know What's What. Smith knows what is going on in the police department. But Smith never tells. He knows first hand what the inside-workings of the department are. Every chief who has left the position considers Smith as his own personal and intimate friend. It was he who helped them in the stormy times which occurred to all. He has avoided all the political battles which often threatened to disrupt the department. When Smith came into the department, he was well equipped. He is an Oberlin College graduate and also had a thorough business training. Locates Murderer. Taking dictation, keeping up the private correspondence of the department, and soothing irascible chiefs of police has not been his only service. It was Smith who identified and located the murderer of John Shipp. The officer was shot down by a burglar whom no one saw or knew. The man, Edwin Ruthven, was surrounded by police after Smith had told them where he was, but the desperado shot his way out of the trap. .He was later arrested in Indianapolis, convicted of murder and executed.

SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923. The Ku Klux Klan, of Miami, Fla., in an effort to intimidate our voters in that city, flooded the city with handbills, warning them to stay away from the polls at a recent election. Few paid any attention to the handbills, however. --- The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a copy of Poro College's new booklet in which is told the story of that wonderful business institution. We advise our readers, all of whom are proud of the race's successful business enterprises, to write Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., for a copy of it. You will be greatly pleased; yes, thrilled. --- Dorothy B. Ferrebee, an eightth grade pupil of Washington, D. C., in a large field of National Essay contestants, writing on the subject, "My Share in Making the Highways Safe," was one of the three best prize winners, the two others being whites. Congressman Dyer's speaking tour will help to crystallize public sentiment against lynching, and mob violence in general, and thus help to secure, eventually, the enactment of state anti-lynching laws (at least in the North), the only kind of CONSTITUTIONAL mob violence law. The spirit back of Emmett J. Scott's letter to Judge Gary is the kind more of our so-called leaders must develop. It is the most direct and telling "thrust" in behalf of our people of the entire country that has been made since Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter dared to "talk turkey" to President Thomas Woodrow Wilson in the White House, several years ago. More power to their kind of Afro-Americans. --- The commanding influence of "the American dollar," since the World War, is undoubtedly being used to promulgate American prejudice against the Afro-American, and black people in general, in England and France, just as our Paris correspondent makes clear in his letter in this paper. This is an aftermath of the southern Democratic Wilson administration. What can we do to combat it, is the question. --- ..The Gazette wants to join the chorus of those who are thanking Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Sr., for bringing that projected Lowell-Harvard College racial discrimination to a proper ending. His mother, a Cleveland woman (deceased), is undoubtedly entitled to no small meed of praise. She trained her boy. We here and now nominate Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Sr., for the 1923 Spingarn medal. BY WHOSE AUTHORITY? Lord Robert Cecil says that if America will only come into the league of nations it can rewrite the covenant to suit itself. Important if true. But how does Lord Cecil speak with such authority? He is a British citizen and represents South Africa in the league. He has a right to give their views, but how about the other fifty members, more or less? They have all solemnly obligated themselves to uphold the covenant as it is written, including the provision that amendments must be ratified by unanimous vote of the council and majority vote of the assembly. It would be presumptuous, to say the least, for the United States to step in and offer to rewrite the whole document. The very suggestion shows how lightly it is held by the principal league member. From the first, the league movement was construed by its onpon- ents in the Senate as merely a ruse to get the United States to lend its men and money to bring peace to Europe and the rest of the world. Lord Cecil's remark proves the soundness of that estimate. The covenant has failed to entice the United States in, and he virtually throws up his hands in desperation. "If you will only come in," he cries, in effect, "you can tear up the covenant and write anything in its place you may choose." Instead of drawing a new covenant, why not hand Lord Cecil a copy of the record of the Harding administration, with the suggestion to Great Britain and the other members of the league to go and do likewise? Let them adopt the foreign and economic policies that have distinguished the United States for the past two years, and they will enjoy a quicker recovery from the miseries of war than any "covenant" could possibly bring. --- ANOTHER SMITH MAKES GOOD Last Saturday's Cleveland daily press, under the heading "Police Star," contained a very pleasing write-up with portrait of Chas. S. Smith of this city, an old and most creditable member of the Cleveland police department. "Charley," as he is familiarly called by a host of friends of all classes or races in this community, started his career in the department in 1897, on the writer's birthday, Jan. 28. His appointment and that of Patrolman John Chaffin, retired, another member of the Hon. Robt. E. McKisson ace, was made by Mayor Robt. E. McKisson on the same day at the request of the writer. One year before, the mayor, for services renewed as a campaign speaker, had promised the writer to permit him to name a member or two of the ace for appointment to the police force of the city. When "Charley" and John were preparing to take the civil service "examination" in 1897, which was the usual "cut and dried affair," it was to the writer that "Charley" was sent by Police Chief Corner, who desired his services as a stenographer, something the police department of the city of Cleveland had not had up to that time. "Charley" has served as secretary for Chiefs Corner, Kohler, Rowe, Smith and the present incumbent, Graul, and since Jan. 1, 1922, he has also performed the duties of secretary of the department of public safety and acting secretary of police. In order to secure him a long deserved increase in salary (the first), Police Chief Frank W. Smith promoted him to the position of detective and then detailed him to his old position as private secretary, in order to retain his valuable services. We do not believe our people anywhere in this country furnish a parallel case to that of Chas, S. Smith, secretary of the department of public safety, which includes the police and fire departments of the great city of Cleveland, and also secretary to the chief of police. That he has held the positions so creditably and well as to merit the unqualified praise of the local press, which includes all of the newspapers of Cleveland, is something both Mr. Smith and our people of this community have every reason to feel proud of. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, dewns itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by no means whoishly selfless and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however far we may come, we continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 19232 U. S. ONE OF THE OLDEST NATIONS No Other Country in Western Hemisphere Has Had Unchanged Regime You may be a close student of history, conservant with important, momentous events of world history from very early times, but are you aware that the United States is one of the oldest nations on earth? The New York World in calling attention to this fact declares that with the exception of England and Russia, the United States as an exiting nation is older than any other country of Europe. It is the only country in the Western hemisphere that has stood for upward of a century and a quarter with an unchanged government. O* course its boundaries have been changed from time to time, its constitution has gone through a civil war, but it is governed n. 1789, when its present form of government began; this can be said 'or no other nation of the western world. The French revolution began the same year that the American constitution was adopted-1769-and since that time Europe has been practically remade, England, Russia, Denmark and Spain stand out among the nations as "ancient," yet, in the time since the present form of government in the United States began, all of these nations have undergone governmental changes of great importance and significance. Although there was an important governmental change in England in the middle of the seventeenth century and a "revolution" in 1688, the average Englishman insists that his government dates from the time of the Magna charter and that England is a nation compared to which the rest of the world is in swaddling clothes so to speak. Admitting the changes brought about by the revolution of 1688, the line of kings of England has ruled without interruption since the end of the 17th century. Notwithstanding this, however, the English government as it is known today had its beginning in 1832 when the first reform bill was passed. The reform bills—three in number—shifted much power from the nobility to the common people and changed the "limitation" of the monarchy from a feudal to a popular right, in effect virtually remaking the nation, although the changes were brought about in a quiet and orderly manner. In 1912 the "parliament bill" which took from the house of lords but "suspensive veto power" and left the common practically the rulers of the country was passed. In addition to these there have been other important governmental changes. Since the beginning of the French revolution in 1789 France has had two empires, three kinds of kingdoms and three republics. One king has been executed, two others have been forced to abdicate. Since the formation of the third republic the cabinet has been changed on an average once a year. It has had Socialist ministries and various positions in its cabinet have been filled by prominent Socialists and radicals. As all students of history know, the present German empire grew out of the Franco-Prussian war so that it is the junior of the United States by nearly half a century. Four great European nations—France, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy—were finally established in the fifteen years between 1860 and 1875. Although Spain is one of the ancient nations of the world, her present constitutional government dates only from the beginning of the nineteenth century. There has been another change in her government, even more spectacular, though less generally known, namely, the establishment if a republic which continued for two years. The present kingdom dates from 1875. The kingdom of the Netherlands had its beginning in 1815, when the congress of Vienna granted its national independence under the house of Orange. Under the patronage of Napoleon in 1803 the little Alpine states of Switzerland were united into an independent but somewhat loose federation. In 1848 a new confederation was formed which was modeled after the United States and which held the cantons together in a more strongly centralized federal power. The central government was given still greater power by a revision of the constitution in 1874. The powers of Europe at the congress of Vienna agreed never to violate Switzerland's neutrality or to attempt to move troops through the passes of the Swiss Alps. The independent kingdom of Greece dates from 1832, that of Roumania from 1862 and that of Bulgaria from 1885. The independence of Montenegro began in 1875, and it became a constitutional monarchy in 1905. The oustage republic was established in 1910. There have been few changes in the government of Russia since 1557, when Ivan the Terrible made the country independent of Tartar authority.—The Pathfinder. A Verbal Flood "When I got home at two this morning my wife met me in the hall and for a full minute she regarded me in silence." "At length she spoke." "Yes, also she spoke at length." May Be Used as Temporary, Splint Instead of a Spica A New York surgeon has recently perfected an apparatus designed to treat fractures to the lower limbs as soon as possible after they have occurred. The apparatus is especially intended to meet emergencies and complicated conditions. It may be employed in fractures, sunshut wounds, luxations and dislocations. It may serve as a ten-porary splint instead of a spica, or again it may be employed as a permanent splint, depending upon the advisability of recumbent and ambulatory treatment. The device consists essentially of two flat steel bars attached to their lower ends to a rectangular foot plate. To the external rod are riveted a series of from twelve to fifteen thin aluminum bands which are curved to fit any lower limb around which they may be placed. The bands are fitted with straps so that they may be tightly held in place. By turning the bands 180 degrees the apparatus may be placed on the other tumb. An ingenuous foot arrangement enables the patient using such a device to exert a travine effort (a considerable degree without pain. The entire device weighs but eight pounds. Briefly the advantages of the new device may be summarized as follows: The limb is held in absolute immobilization, redression and traction; anabolic treatment is possible: observation of callus, dress¹, drainage, message and electrical treatment are possible without removing the solitary or lessening the traction; the apparatus is light and compact and can easily make a part of any anabolic equipment; very little skill is necessary to apply it: practically in postoperative treatment instead of spicas, and lastly, it does not interfere with X-ray examinations. Adjustable Device Holds Broken Bones Together A patented device for holding broken bones together after they have been set, the invention of a New Hampshire surgeon, consists of spaced metal concave splint pads having upstanding arms. The arms are adjustable to the desired distance by means of two arms extending between the upstanding arms. One of the shafts is exterior threaded. The other is an interior threaded tube. Similar concave pads are placed on each side of the broken limbs, so as to cooperate. A plaster cast is first made around the pads and over them. Then the tube and threaded shaft are put in place between the upstanding arms of the plint pads. The pads are adjusted by the rotation of the threaded tube until the proper tension has been obtained to prevent the muscles from drawing the bone back or allowing the bone to slip out of place. By this device bones which are not in perfect alignment can be drawn into alignment. Bandaging is said to be unnecessary. An important advantage of this device is that it may be applied to a broken collarbone or rib as well as to a broken leg or arm. ADOPT ELECTRIC SIGNAL Railway Hcads Use Lights to Imitate Semaphore Positions Semaphores are done away with and the standard semaphore indications are given by white electric lights mounted on a black background in a new system of block signals now being installed on the Pennsylvania railroad. The lights are so arranged on the board that the three positional of a semaphore arm, horizontal, diagonal, and vertical, are imitated by the rows of lights, and these signals are used by day as well as by night. Two boards corresponding to two semaphore arms, are used for each track, the upper board constituting the stop signal and the lower board the cautionary signal. When a train enters the block the horizontal row of lights on each board is lighted, giving the stop signal to any following train. When the train passes out of the block, which is 3,500 feet long, the horizontal row on the upper board is extinguished and the diagonal row lighted—Popular Mechanics. IT MAKES BODY TRANSPARENT Fluid Discovered Which Obviates Dissecting Knife A new method of giving medical students instructions, which it is said, will largely obviate the necessity of dissection, will be put into practice in a New York medical college at the beginning of the next term. Physicians and surgeons connected with the department of anatomy are now perfecting the process, which originates thru the recent discovery by a French scientist of a fluid by the use of which the human body can be rendered transparent. The fluid, which is composed of several oils turns the flesh into a sort of transparent jelly when injected, enabling the students to study the veins, muscles and bones far better it is asserted, than if they resorted to the dissecting knife. It is said to be one of the most valuable discoveries in medical science of late years. Carrots must be fed sparingly to working horses. Cut them in slices. They are a laxative, and effect the kidneys also. HIram Explains Hank—I don't understand them thermometers. Hiram—It's simple enough.

Sunday's game between the Tellings and Tate Stars, which the former annexed, score 8 to 6, was also participated in by the wind which cut quite a figure in the result. The Tellings players persisted in hitting high fives which the terrific gale Tate infielders and base gardeners, a few gyrations lost sight of the ball and in every instance it fell several feet away from the spot on which it was officially slated to light. Finishing a close second to nature's electric fan in producing a victory for the Tellings was Charley Dorkott. This young finger pitched a three-hit ground ball to eight hits and striking out an equal number. Both teams were off color in the field, eleven errors being registered, seven by the Tellings and four by the Tates.

We are creditably informed that one of the musical features presented at a session of the National Music Supervisors' Convention, held in this city last week, was the singing of "Negro" plantation songs by a group of our children, pupils of Mayflower school, who were dressed in red bandanas, white kitchen aprons and other garments intended to typify the period of slavery. Careful surveys of the Progressive Music Series, the music reader adopted by the Board of Education to be used in Cleveland schools, and of the music assignments sent out from the office of the Superintendent of Schools, show that these schools put a lot of the regular school requirement, but not substantially, were injected by teachers, a principal and a music supervisor who are grossly lacking in that innate courtesy and kind-heartedness which should abound in teachers to whom we must entrust our children. There is no analogy in the presentation of the Russian and Italian art songs to the groups of white pupils appearing in nationalities, for in no way did these reproduce the debased conditions under which these peoples have formerly lived, or may now be living. How long are these indignities to be heaped upon the children of our race, innocent victims and products of the boasted white civilization and white culture? Since, as noted above, these songs are not part of Cleveland's school curriculum, they have been substituted for or added to the regular requirement. And it is, also, a fact that hours have been diverted from the regular school work to rehearse and perfect the rendition of these songs to boost the work of our schools in music. We can see no excuse for taking valuable time to drill and drill and drill pupils in dialects. We understand that it is the duty of our public school to teach our children English—correct English—good English. One of the greatest needs of our children is to speak, read and write COOKING English. We have confidence in our superintendent of schools to believe that there will be no repetition of this performance, and that in the future the time of our children will be given to such studies as the board of education and superintendent of schools shall authorize. Jos. L. Jones Dead! Cincinnati, O. — Illness, dating dating from last July, proved fatal to Joseph L. Jones, president of the Central Regalia company, last week Tuesday.

Imperial Wizard Dr. Evans said, recently, to newspaper representatives at Atlanta that the court fight between him and Imperial Emperor W. J. Simmons "would settle once and for all, whether the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is an institution to be conducted by one individual for his private financial gain, or a great American fraternal order, the affairs of which are in the hands of its members." Now you have it! There can be no misunderstanding of the foregoing. It is exactly what the leading newspapers in the country have been charging for many months, and undoubtedly explains how Simmons and his chief assistant, Clarke, grew so rich in so short a time, and, too, since the organization, or reorganization of the law, Evan Dye's statement will not have much effect, on the prejudiced, and others at least one of whom is born every minute, or second, according to the Phineas T.

FLAWLESS STONES COST GREAT PRICES; MANY DEFECTS HARD TO DISCOVER Pure Gem Can be Completely Ruined In Cutting Process From very early times diamonds, rubies, sapphires, etc., have been highly esteemed and have been much sought after, not only because of their rarity and the difficulty of obtaining them, but because of their beauty, their sparkle and play of color. Man is a vain creature and places a high value on personal ornaments with which he may dazzle his neighbors and arouse their envy. For this reason diamonds and other rare precious stones always find a ready sale at high prices. The diamond is the standard precious stone. One of the most interesting considerations in connection with it is its intrinsic value, which depends on various things. The best and most valuable diamonds are puse, transparent and without imperfections or flaws. Color is extremely important, the limpid stones being most highly valued, often commanding prices twice as high as those tinted black, brown, yellow, impure blush or steel gray. Three orders of transparency or clearness in diamonds are recognized by experts, namely, stones of the first water which are absolutely transparent and faultless; stones of the second water, which though clear and limpid have small dark spots, clouds or flaws, and stones of the third water which have a gray brown, yellow, green, blue, or blackish color or which, though clear, have very noticeable faults. Only about five per cent of all the diamonds produced are perfect and colorless. Naturally, therefore, those who wish absolutely perfect, flawless stones, must pay very high prices. Moisture from the breath disappears much more rapidly from the genuine diamond than from the imitation. For this reason the expert breathes on a stone when he examines it and notes the rapidity with which it clears. This also enables him to see faults which it may possess. He also examines it under a magnifying glass and in order to be classed as perfect in formation no flaw or imperfection must be revealed. Some of the most common defects of diamonds are the following: Carbon spots which result from the imperfect crystallization of the carbon; feathers, due also to faulty crystallization; bubbles, due to air formations in the carbon, and flaky formations, like fractures in ice when struck by a hammer. Many of these flaws are so small as to be imperceptible without the aid of a glass. Such defects detract little or nothing from the brilliancy or beauty of a stone but they lessen its value. A perfect diamond can be spoiled or utterly ruined in cutting. Perfect, regular cutting greatly enhances the value; a properly cut stone weighing one karat is worth twice as much as one of equal weight in the rough. The proportion of the height to circumference, the proportions of the planes and faces are matters of extreme importance for on these the fire of the gem depends. A properly cut diamond has fifty-eight facets. Besides looking out for the imperfections noted above, the diamond buyer has to be on his guard against rough edges on the girdle, or greatest circumference of the gem, for these cast a shadow through the center of the stone and destroy the brilliancy in large measure. Frequently these flaws are hidden by settings, but their effect on the brilliancy of the stone is not lessened thereby. Feathers cause a hazy, lifeless appearance. Fractures, which usually result from either a blow or carelessness in setting, deaden the brilliancy and decrease the value of a diamond. Carbon spots detract from both the value and the beauty of a stone. If a diamond is too "deep" the table at the top will appear dead instead of showing as much sparkle and color as the edge where it has been cut thin to admit light. In buying such a diamond the purchaser pays for extra weight which, instead of adding to the beauty and value of the stone actually detracts. On the other hand the stone that is cut too shallow, technically known as a "fish eye" has a glassy look. Such stones, though they may be perfectly transparent and without flaws, are not desirable because of their lack of brilliancy.—Pathfinder. Safety Frame for Eyeglass A Georgia jeweler has been granted a patent on a new eyeglass fixture that will enable jewelers and opticians to fit lenses in the frame without danger of cracking the glass. Those who are in a position to say believe that the inventor has patented an article that will revolutionize the optical busi- ness. New Use for Electricity In a New York watch repairing estab- lishment, where more than seven hundred watches have to be wound every day, an electrical apparatus has been installed to do the winding. It does the work more efficiently than human hands can, and takes the place of several men formerly required for this work. May Revolutionize Power Industry of the World—Give Light and Heat Without Cost Benjamin Franklin stood in the rain nearly 200 years ago with the string of a flying kite in his hand. Franklin discovered there is electricity in the air. Harry E. Perrigo, a Kansas City, Mo., electrician, is said to have discovered how to capture and imprison this electricity and harness it for the use of mankind. If he is not mistaken in his discovery it will revolutionize the world so far as the power industry is concerned. Perrigo has caught the wild voltage of the air; has by means of an accumulator, taken the high powered currents and reduced them to a point where they can be handled. He explains the accumulator by saying that by twisting coils in a certain way so as to break the electrical currents in the air, he is enabled to imprison them by reducing them, then stopping them up. Then he puts it to work in the same manner as the electricity that is bought from the light companies. The device that is to do all this is a small box in which are contained the coils. The secret is closely guarded. The box is about 9x6 inches and about 2 inches high. Once installed, Perrigo says, there will be no further expense. Power for lighting, heating, cooking and for all household work will flow constantly and cost nothing. Perrigo concluded more than a year ago that there was free electricity in the air. For months he spent his wakehours in work and study until one night success crowned his efforts. He caught the energizing element. But he caught it in his bare hands and paid the penalty by being knocked unconscious. Having satisfied himself that he was on the right track, Perrigo quit his job turned a shed in his back yard into a workshop and has lived there almost constantly ever since, except when Mrs. Perrigo compels him to leave for food or sleep. There in his workshop most of Perrigo's experiments have been carried on. There he has his colls, his lights, his hundred and one contrivances for carrying on his tests. Copper wires are strung from hoops crosswise of the voom. Switches and transformers and other things are innumerable. To Perrigo it is all plain, to the tyro it is mysterious. Yet he shows you now it is done. There are no wires that could possibly lead to a supply of electricity, he merely throws a switch, the accumulator begins to hump and before your eyes the 40 watt tungsten lamps burst into light. Perrigo's work has not been unattended by danger. On four occasions he has received the full voltage of the force he is attempting to control. He stands on a marble slab and between it and a rubber pad are warm newspapers. He wears rubber soled shoes and rubber gloves. Often, absorbed in his work he forgets, then—a blue flame in his hands, a splutter and a pop and the police pulmotor and a physician are rushing at breakneck speed to save his life again. Lately he has and his family physician present when he carried on his tests. He fears one called from a distance might prove too late. One more big test and the invention will be complete. Perrigo says. That test will be made when he has perfected certain devices he is making for his own protection from the monster with which he wreatles. "All that is lacking now is a few minor details," says Perrigo. "Then a patent and my invention is ready for the world." And to make certain that his invention does not die with him because of some accident, Perrigo has it drawn out in the most minute of details and kicked them in a safety deposit vault known only to his wife. If he dies she will see that his work is carried on. Perrigo's great fear is that an attempt will be made to steal his invention. It would be worth millions to any electrical concern if it is what he leaves. His home is a veritable arsenal a loaded revolver is always at hand wherever Perrigo goes about his work. His wife is constantly near him where he is in his shop. The shop doors and windows are guarded by locks and bars. The little box with Perrigo's secret is kept in a safe when he is not tinkering with it. And Mrs. Perrigo? She suffers a thousand times a day. Enthusiastic and balancing him in his dreams, she furnishes the practical, common sense suggestions that have helped him along. Some day, however, she fears he palmotors may not prevail. That is why every time he goes into the workshop he hears the warning. "Harry, be careful. Use switches to stead of your hands." That is why she constantly hovers over him, watching that in a moment of abstraction he does not reach out and seize something that will mean his death. The little box is there. Perrigo has done what he set out to do. He has caught and put to work the free electricity of the air. Others, of course, have generated it, but Perrigo has taken only that which nature herself has provided. If a small pig is chilled it can be revived by dipping it into water as hot as you can bear your hand in, then wrapping it in warm flannel. Help "T ow Away You nd or an Acq THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 19232 DUTIES OF MODERN GENERAL MANY THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF THINGS PRESENT-DAY LEADER MUST KNOW He Needs Knowledge of Surgery, Tactics and Engineers' Work When the man in the street talks of a general commanding an army, he generally sums him up as a "jolly good soldier," and fancies he has said all that need be said about the distinguished officer. As a matter of dry fact, he has said nothing at all about the general. What the man in the street means by "jolly good soldier" means very little to the general, for to be a good soldier i.e., to lead armed men, is about the last thing necessary to a modern commander. He has to be, of course, an expert in military methods in strategy, which means the art of handling forces at a distance from the enemy, and tactics, which means the art of handling that force when in actual touch with the enemy, and he must know military routine from A to Z. But that is only the cap of his knowledge. For instance, he must know quite a lot about the comparative values of food, not only because he must keep his army well fed, but because he has to carry with him the minimum quantity to keep his moving army in a state of efficiency. He has to know how many horses can pull how many wagons of this food, and how many miles they can pull them. He has even to compute how much forage those horses will require, and what will be their daily rate of progress. In the same way he is a cartage expert, who knows that it is not how much ammunition his army can fire off, but how much ammunition it can carry that counts in the actual battle, and he must know which will be the easiest ammunition to carry, and the special circumstances of its carriage. Thus, if he is to assault fortifications, he will not carry shrapnel, which is of great use against advancing infantry, but avails little against concrete bastions; and if he is to face only attacking army divisions, he will not trouble himself much with high explosive shell, which is used mainly against fortifications. He must also know about the enurance limit of every regiment he employs, recognizing which regiment can stand the hard grind of heavy marching, which will remain stubborn under the most terrible bombardment and which can be used with electric dash at the decisive moment of a charge. He must know how to handle his artillery like a master, not only as a death dealing, defense shattering instrument, but also in its effect as a means of destroying the nerve of the men opposing him. A terrific and well handled bombardment at the right moment may do more to win he fight for him than a whole day's shelling. To this end he has to know something about surveying, engineering, bridge building, road making, railroad laying, telegraphy, fortification, mining, the manufacture and application of high power explosive, trench turning, sanitation, camp, town and barrack planning, plumbing, cooking, camp range making, store keeping, ballooning, aeroplanning, rough medicine, first aid, rough surgery, veterinary, farriery, smith work, lathe turning, small arm making, field gun repairing and a host of other crafts and industries. He has experts to help him, naturally, but he must know something of these things if he is to guide and take advantage of exports. And when he has fought his battles, and defeated his foe, he must be an expert in both military and international law, and he must be a good diplomat, too, for he has not only to restrain his own soldiery, but he has to see that he and his country are not overreached by the diplomatic skill of their adversary. And above all, he has to be a human individual, and not a highly skilled machine, so as to overcome the human element in the composition of his enemy, no less than the humane in vicory—London Answers. The discovery makes the life of the goose more hazardous. Now he may become food for cannon as well as food for humans or a producer of goose grease. Even the "old gray goose" may become valuable. The druggist inventor claims to have tested four ounces of his new explosive and it blew a hole in the ground that an equal amount of gun cotton could not have done. He plans to perfect his invention and then offer it to the United States Army.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many reader, of The Gazette we print below the text of Hume in the 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 fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Dec. 12, 2016 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 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 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 Appeals, of the Eighth District of Ohio, self explanatory, to Akron, C. 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, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, our our courts and juries, it. administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
