THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 Tuskegee U. S. Vet. Hospital CONTROVERSY FOR CONTROL IS THAT AND NOTHING ELSE NOW Hungry Southern "Crackers" After Jobs to Serve Negroes in a Negro Hospital—Dr. Byrd Sizes Up The Situation "Beautifully"—Tuskegee School. (Specialist to The Gazette) The Tuskegee U. S. Veteran's hospital for our wounded soldiers has already served a purpose that nothing else up to this time has served. It has completely uncovered the hypocrisy of the South and stamped as a LIE the whole scheme of race-segregation and race-superiority. The South has forced on this country the American ignoble policy of race-discrimination. It has lied the whole way through. It sought to make the world believe our people were lepers and beasts, and as such should not be allowed to come in touch with refined and delicate white women. It has painted the race as dirty, filthy ```markdown ``` and despicable to look upon. It has separated its street-cars, its railroad cars, and even the depots have been separated in order that Negroes may be kept away from white people. It has denied the race the education I gave its whites and compelled those who did educate our people to sub scribe to a lie; namely, that the southern whites were "the Negro's best friends." It has used Hampton and Tuskegee to investigate certain whites of the North into the same attitude. The heads of these institutions have been compelled to fight to keep the southern attitude supreme among our people, so as to "keep them in their places." Men like ex-President Taft have advised that Negroes who subscribe to the South's policy be the Negroes that the moneyed interests of this nation recognize. The federal government took the cringing attitude of the southern Negro as the one it approved and thereby formed its policy of dealing with the Negro politically. In fact any recognition Negroes desired, they had to get by coming in and through the Tuskegee and Hampton influence. The trustees of Tuskegee school acquiesced in the annual trips of school to preach the doctrine of submission to southern prejudice. Upon the board of trustees of Tuskegee school southern white tuskerees were placed for the sole purpose of assuring the South that its policy is "safe." A policy, keeping in the background those who fought for manhood rights, and the full share of American citizenship, was fixed upon by the interests that run Tuskegee school. The government adopted "the Tuskegee policy" in time of war and peace. The great war came and passed by, and the first influence sent to greet the American soldier in France was "the Tuskegee policy" of submitting to whites in America. The soldiers were brought home and in caring for the wounded heroes of color the southern policy of segregation was approved by the federal government. Our soldiers, who are wounded and helpless, have been SHAMEFULLY treated, we are told, by the southern white men high up in Army affairs. They have been segregated and neglected so much that the government, under southern pressure, built a separate hospital for our wounded soldiers in that section of the country. As soon as the hospital was completed, bushels of applications came from almost every southern state, from southern white men and women, to be placed at the head of and in this hospital—mind you a hospital for our people! Not only did they apply, but secured all kinds of endorsements in order to win. This is the most assinine piece of diabolic ally mercenary surrender the world has ever witnessed. This once proud South that did not want its women to come in touch with Negro men are ready now for their daughter sisters and wives to not only come in touch with young bucksees Negroes but to nurse them back to health and strength. Would you believe it. When it became evident to our people what was going on, our National Medical Association got busy and be came masters of the situation. The federal government placed the personnel of the staff of the hospital in the hands of the association. It representatives indicated its choice of men, and the news was flashed over the country that Negroes would man the hospital. Immediately the governor of Alabama with other Kluix came together and made a threat that if Negroes were sent there they would not be safe. Southern whites of Alabama and also busy and fanned the flames of hate with the sole purpose of preventing our men from receiving the money that the government gives to take care of our wounded soldiers. If our physicians and nurses would apply to take over the running of a white hospital where white men alone were, the whole country would adjudge them insane and proceed to put them in prison or let the chivalry of the South apply its past-time remedy, the lyncher's rope. In case of these white physicians and nurses, who wish to take over the hospital for our soldiers, we believe they are inherently dishonest, void of real manhood and womanhood and are examples of the most sorridd creatures who would belle the traditions of generations, simply to get money. Yes, they would sell their manhood and womanhood for dollars and cents. What worms! Finding that they are blocked they are resorting to violence and threats to make the federal government change its policy. The government must not waver oneota from its policy. No white southern cracker, physician or nurse, must be allowed to enter that hospital as employees. In this instance, we insist that the policy of the South must prevail. The noble black wounded and dying soldiers prefer to rot rather than have these nasty money seekers and tradition destroyers take over the running of that hospital. We counsel firmness and fairness. If our staff is appointed, let that staff go and assume its duty. The dangers there are not to be compared with the Argonne, and the cowards who fight there have not the courage nor skill of the enemies who fought our boys in France. For the staff to give its life caring for our boys who fell trying to make safe the world, is as worthy a cause as was the conquering of Lee at Apomotax. As for Tuskegee Institute, its future is dark unless it drives out of councils and off its trustee board over southernner and take the stand that Major Moton has taken. We take off our hats to him and his band of teachers. Let them stand firm. We knew when Tuskegee stood up and demanded a man's share, the southern crackers would turn upon it. It is better, that Tuskegee school and the hospital be burnt to the ground than for Negroes to submit to the unthinkable demands of a money-crazed lazy set of worthless crackers. We watch hourly the course of this government, for the threat of Hefflin and the governor of Alabama, as reported by the Press, is paralleled only by the firing on Fort Sumpter. Hefflin should be driven from the U. S. Senate and the governor removed from his office for insulting the federal government. If there is any manhood in the Administration it will deal summarily with these rebels. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our thanks to our relatives, friends and neighbors who were so kind and sympathetic during the short illness, and at the death of our daughter and wife, respectively. Mrs. Alice Knox. Also to thank them for the beautiful floral offerings, Undertaker Slaughter for the efficient way in which he conducted the funeral, Rev. E. A. Clarke of St. John's church for his consoling remarks, Mr. Raymond Smith for music, and Mr. L. R. Carey for the sacred reading. Mrs. Edith Munson, mother, Mr. Belton Knox, husband, 2280 E. 49th St. Cleveland, O. Doings Of The Race Dr. S. H. Proctor was recently appointed postmaster of Mt. Winans, Md., and is our only official of the kind in that state. The Birmingham (Ala.) board of education has awarded a contract for the building of a new Afro-American High school to cost $92,000. Atty. Oliver Randolph of Newark, New Jersey's only Afro-American legislator, has been appointed an assistant U. S. District Attorney for that state. The General Education Board of N. Y. City recently appropriated $96,000 for the installation of new equipment and additions to Geo. W. Hubbard hospital at Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tennessee. Dorsey Garver and Chas. Bell, Afro-Americans, are the only two Republican members of the Annapolis, (Md.) city council of ten. They represent the fourth ward of that city. Joseph P. Steele, (white), of Berlin, Md., traveled 160 miles by boat and automobile to have a tooth pulled by Dr. James A. White of Baltimore because the latter pulled ten for him at one time, several years ago. A recent survey shows that there are 20,000 Afro-Americans employed by the government in the postal department; 15,000 carriers, 3,000 post-office clerks, 2,000 railway postal clerks and about 700 laborers. During a recent search, near Huntsville, Ala., for Risty Ford, charged with an attack on a young white woman, Edward Reynolds, a member of the mob (white) hunting for him, shot and instantly killed Dr. Bernard, another member, whom he mistook for Ford. Hon. Fredrick M. Roberts, our only member of the California legislature, recently presided over that August body during a debate on an important bill. This is the first time in the history of that state that an Afro-American has been so honored. Gov. Jonathan Davis (Dem.) of Kansas has appointed P. C. Thomas of Topeka, a state deputy hotel inspector, salary $1500 and expenses; and John Russell, another member of the race, welghmaster in the state grain department at Topeka, salary $1500. A recent dispatch to the daily newspapers of the country announces that the U. S. Department of Justice, Washington, D. C., had established a watch at Tuskegee, Ala., to prevent threatened outbreaks between Colored and white residents, over the new U. S. Veterans' Hospital, there. During the past twelve months, 45 buildings for our schools have been erected in Delaware out of the Pierre S. DuPont educational fund, making a total of 83. A total of $1,006,486 has been spent on our schools, and $789,140 for whites. In addition, $19,329 has been spent in improvements at our State College at Dover. The recent color-line clash between white Americans and Negroes in Paris, France, has resulted in the police of that city threatening to close the cabaret where the refusals to serve the latter were recently made. Prejudiced white Americans, who frequented the place, urged the drawing of a color-line, something the French government refuses to permit. Alabama Kluxes used sheets taken from the storage room of the U. S. Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee when they paraded, July 3, and after the demonstration were entertained at supper in the hospital, according to the N. A. A. C. P., which also says that the next day the sheets were found to bear "dust and automobile grease," and other evidences of their having been used by the K. K. K. Alabama's Convict Lease-System Montgomery, Ala.-The foes of this state's barbaric convict lease system suffered a crushing defeat, recently, when the House of Representatives adopted by a 2 to 1 vote a resolution not to consider further anti-convict lease-system legislation at this session. Out of every eighty convicts sent to work in the privately owned coal mines of Alabama one man leses his life, each year. To one out of every eighty men given sentences to prison-terms in this state the words spoken by the judge are equivalent to: "I sentence you to death in the mines." For peonage still exists in Alabama and convicts are farmed out by the thousands to grasping, blood-sucking capitalists of both the North and the South. Appoints One of Our Women. Charleston, W. Va.—Gov. E. T. Morgan has appointed Mrs. Irene Moats, of Clarksburg, to membership on the advisory council to the state board of education. The other members of the council are Prof. W. W. Saunders, state supervisor of schools, and Prof. E. L. Morton of Beckley, both white, Mrs. Moats is a graduate of Ohio University and since her graduation has been teaching school at Rendville, O., Parkersburg and Clarksburg.

Georgia and Alabama Bills Make It a Folony to Solicit Labor in Those States. Atlanta, Ga.—An effort to check the migration of Negroes and other farm labor was given by the authors as the reason for the introduction of a bill in the Georgia legislature, July 19, which would make it a felony for any person or concern to solicit labor in Georgia for other states. Punishment would be a prison term of not less than three years nor more than seven. The bill does not allow even licensed labor agents to operate in the state. Montgomery, Ala.—A bill to tax labor agents recruiting labor in Alabama $5,000 for every county in which they operate was introduced in the Alabama house of representatives, July 19. Killed the Scoundrel! Dawson, Ga.—A 14-year boy, whose mother had suffered brutal indignities at the hands of a Georgia farmer, recently killed the brute, Lester K. Powell (white). Jos Green is the very young farm-hand, who shot Powell down when he found him beating his mother, Mrs. Sarah Green, with a stick. Powell had been annoying the mother of the little family for some time. Her children worked on his farm and it was during their absence that the brute would visit Mrs. Green, on the pretext of seeing about some work. Our people of the country ought to handsomely reward that boy. Left His Estate to White Friends Louisville, Ky.—Naming them as his only friend, Richard Wilder, recently deceased, wilmed his estate of $1,550 to Jennie C. Benedict and Sabone E. Kerr, both white. They are in the confectionery business here. Wilder had no relatives. Of course HIS people had no schools, churches or anything else to will his estate to. Lord, have mercy! The property consists of one piece of real estate and a bank account. He was employed by Miss Benedict for a number of years.

SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 Do not fail to read carefully and thoughtfully Dr. Wm. A. Byrd's splendid communication in this issue of The Gazette. --- Alabama is certainly in the limelight these days: A white man was lynched in Bibb county, near Centerville, that state, on the night of July 13-14, '23. --- According to Prof. "Segregation" DuBois, Philadelphia has thirteen "jim-crow" schools and is threatened with a high school of the kind. He also says, and he is undoubtedly right in this, that Philadelphia Afro-Americans, like those of Columbus, Ohio, did not keep up the fight on such "segregation but "accepted petty political jobs, janitorials and positions in the "jim-crow" schools for their daughters," etc., etc. "Twas ever thus, Springfield, Ohio, alone excepted. --- Georgia and Alabama have grown desperate as a result of the emigration of our people from those states and have turned to their legislatures for greatly desired relief. It is a vain effort, a waste of time. When the people of that and other southern states awaken to the fact that they have simply got to treat our people in that section of the country as human beings, and AMERICANS, and do it, then and then only will the emigration cease largely. All the laws "this side of Jericho" will not stop the emigration just as long as they keep up their hellish mistreatment of Afro-Americans in the South. It will be interesting to know just what Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall's new work and status really are in HaliT. "With a flourish of trumpets" it was announced at the time of his appointment, several months ago, that he was to occupy a very important position there as a representative of this government. It transpires that he was only A secretary to High Commissioner John H. Russell, who kept him busy doing clerical work. U. S. Senator Medill McCormick of Chicago recently intervened in Marshall's behalf, with the result that it is now announced that the latter's work is to be "diplomatic" and not clerical as heretofore, and that "Capt. Marshall will remain in HaliT and not return to New York as contemplated." Is Marshall merely a "figure-head" in HaliT? --- The state assembly of Alabama, last week Tuesday, quickly passed a joint resolution which "protests" against the government's selection of an Afro-American personnel for our U. S. Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee. This is backing up the contemptible stand of the Ku Klux Klan of that state in opposition to President Harding's promise, and instructions to Gen. Frank T. Hines, director, U. S. Veterans' bureau, Washington, D. C. This legislative action by Democrats backing up that of other prejudiced and inconsistent members of their party, the Ku Klux Klan principally, will undoubtedly be ignored by the Chief Executive of the nation. It is simply another effort to "scare" or bluff him into acquiescing in their fool-demands for the best-paying positions in the hospital staff or personnel. DUBOIS DENIAL? Dr. Wm. DuBois has issued an explanation of his "segregation" speech at Philadelphia, recently, which does not fully explain. In it, he says in so many words that he does and does not favor segregation in schools, etc., and indicates a weakening in the stand he has maintained for years against the evil. Now comes Prof. Wm. Pickens, an assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., with a statement which he says is not a "defense" of Dr. DuBois' attitude on segregation in schools, but in which he attempts to make just that very thing. At this distance it seems pretty clear that Dr. DuBois "threw a shoe" in his most unfortunate speech at Philadelphia, recently. One thing sure and that is, he certainly disappointed and greatly distressed his Philadelphia audience, all of whom had assembled to hear a strong denunciation of segregation generally, from the editor of The Crisis. In our last issue we quoted a sentence from a lengthy article in a recent issue of The Post-Tribune of Gary, Ind., written by A. L. Webster, president of the Young Men's club of that city, which announced that T. Wingate Todd, scientist of Western Reserve University, this city, claims that "song is the Negro's only contribution to America." We have received a communication from Prof. Todd in which he writes that he is a Scottsman by birth and not "a prejudiced southerner," as we surmised; that he has been working for ten years in the interests of the American Negro, endeavoring to point out and emphasize the numerous fallacious views currently held regarding his physique and intellect. Mr. Todd also writes: "being asked if the Negro had ever contributed anything to American civilization, I was quick to say, perhaps the most striking gift which he has made (I did not say the most important) is the Negro melody." Instead of being "a prejudiced southerner" Prof. Todd, it appears, is decidedly friendly to the race and that is why The Gazette regrets greatly the fact that it was so mislead by Mr. Webster's article. LYNCH-MURDERED WITHOUT A TRIAL! Cleveland, O., July 25, "23. Editor, "Plain Dealer," Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir:—Permit me to thank you for the splendid editorial, in a recent issue of "The Plain Dealer," on mob-violence, or rather lynch-murder, under the headline, "The Shame of America." While there were at least sixty-one cases of lynching, last year, "all in the South and not even one in a border state," there have been at least thirty-three for the first six months of this year. What I wish to call attention to, particularly, and what has been true, as a rule each year, not one of the hapless victims lynched, last or this year thus far, ever had his or her "day in court." None were tried on the alleged charges which were announced as having caused the lynchings. This important fact is not generally known and it should be. HARRY C. SMITH. Editor, "The Gazette." IS HINES WEAKENING? Apparently Trying to Effect a Compromise That Was Not The President's Promise. Washington, D. C. Director Frank T. Hines, of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, announced, last week Wednesday, that he would have go ahead with a policy with respect to our hospital near Tuskegee, Ala., soon, unless he could reach some middle ground with the committee of white citizens of that town appointed after his recent visit there. He has received a suggestion from the committee, he said, proposing all physicians and almost all administrative assistants at the hospital be white assistants. He rejected this suggestion on the ground it will nullify the government's intent and asked the committee to reconsider its proposals. The hospital, he said, is being run efficiently at present with about sixty per cent of the personnel, Afro-Americans, including all nurses and attendants and a large part of the administrative staff with all of the physicians the hospital is feasibly in charge of Afro-Americans as nominated President, has been studied by bureau officials, and they have assembled a sufficient number of Afro-American physicians for complete service. They have an adequate number of Afro-American doctors, nurses, etc., to fill all the posts and they should be placed and properly protected by the government as promised by President Harding. Pearl Chayers "in Bad." Chicago, Ill.—On July 14, 1923, Judge Friend ordered Pearl W. Chavers, formerly of Columbus, O. "trustee" of the defunct Woodfok Bank and estate to pay into the court of chancery $3,000 for the benefit of the creditors who have as yet received nothing since the bank failed. It is claimed by Attorney Hill that Chavers collected several thousand dollars and appropriated it to his own use in defraud of the creditors. Chavers claims that he is saving some out of the wreck for the benefit of creditors and avows that if he had not taken a hand in the matter they would have lost everything. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.

Jack Johnson paid $341.62 costs at Indianapolis, recently, and regained his (white) wife's $7,000 automobile, which had been held there in storage for more than a year on an attachment which grew out of an alleged breach of contract on the part of Johnson. His wife replevined the machine. This disproves rumors that she intends making a divorce from Jack, who was a lawyer in Columbia City, Ind., on a charge of transporting liquor and driving an automobile with a 1922 license.

Negro nurses at the hospital have been discharged without cause, the association asserted, and President Harding was asked to investigate conditions that were termed "a national scandal." The telegram to Director Hines accused Col. Stanley of connivance in a recent Klan "invasion" of the hospital.

More than 200 delegates, representing 54 churches, attended the Ohio Baptist State convention in Cleveland at Second Immanuel church, from July 17 to 22. The first of the week was spent in business sessions during which the numerous members made ready their reports. Saturday, the delegates and members attended the usual session, in the evening. Sunday afternoon, a mass meeting was held at which Rev. J. M. Bradby of Detroit delivered a much applauded and well appreciated lecture on "Slowdown." Sunday night, the convention closed. Installation of officers was dispensed with because many of them left, Sunday afternoon. "We enjoyed ourselves immensely," asserted Mr. Reynolds, president of the convention. "I am sure the extended any of the sessions have been benefited greatly. We hope to meet in Cleveland. again." Kelly Miller's letter on "Negro Migration," published in several of our contemporaries, under the date of July 7, 1923, tells of a recent visit of "several days in Cleveland" and impresses real Clevelanders of color, who have read it, with one fact more than any other and that is that the main source of Miller's information was very unreliable, to say the least, because he has made a number of incorrect statements which are really inexcusable. In the first place, 30,000 Negroes did not come to Cleveland ten years ago, but much longer than that. The inrush did not "completely nonplus the old Clevelander" and he did not "stand bewildered as he felt the foundations of his former privileges shaking beneath him." Neither did he "at first oppose the inrushing tide," nor did he "fight all suggested separate agencies of relief as forerunners of racial segregation." These mis-states could emulate but from one local source and it is to be regretted that Kelly spent so much of his time with such a "yesterday Negro wind-bag" as to be so completely fooled and misled: "A Negro social settlement" was not "placed under the ban" in Cleveland but a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. was, and has very properly, been kept there. The Phyllis Wheatley Association was in existence long before the inrush foreground, so with Miller's ridiculous expression relative to "the old Negroer becoming sober of the imperative demand of circumstances." "The old Clevelanders were the favorable conditions of all kinds sought and enjoyed by those of color who constituted the inrush to Cleveland. These things and more, Kelly could have learned had he gotten in touch with some of those "old Clevelanders," and not a "yesterday" Negro who boasts of a knowledge of the city and its people that he does not possess and can not get for years to come. The Negro Welfare Association of Cleveland has been more or less of a joke and nuisance, from its war-time start, and boasted accomplishments and those of its "secretary" Tim Conners, are paper targets, "accomplishments," the VERY target. Neither the so-called league, or its sec., has anything like the position in this community Miller's letter would lead its readers to believe. Kelly's statement that the "Negro never builds or buys a new home or church in Cleveland" is silly and like his Conners and Negro Welfare League expressions—only more so—absolutely If your hair is beautiful you will be beautiful.

Price 25c. and wholly untrue! Really, Miller's informant ought to "have his head examined." When Kelly visits Cleveland again, our advice to him is to steer clear of the main source of his information upon the occasion of his most recent visit here and get in touch with one or more of the afore-mentioned "old Clevelanders" who can and will give him the correct information he apparently sought and failed to get.

Makes First Trip in History Into Hole After a Bit Which Had Stopped the Work of Drilling. Bliss, Okla.-Down 510 feet in an 18-inch oil well is the perilous trip made by N. C. Essary. The trip, the first of the kind ever made, was to take a drill bit out of the well which had clogged it at the bottom and stopped drilling operations. Before finally securing the bit Essary made eight trips into the well. It was like a trip across the River Styx, according to Essary, who is a drilling contractor. "Of course, the fact within itself that it has never been accomplished before made me a little creepy." Essay said, "and when one of the drillers cried and another's voice got tremblly as they pleaded with me not to undertake the feat, I became a little more tremble, but none the less determined. "As I started on my first trip down the well all those present told me good-by. Their voices trembled and their eyes didn't look just right. And I must confess that that was the most trying time of the whole deal, but I had my heart set on the trip and wanted to hurry and get myself where I would not be moved by sentiment, as I gave the order, 'Let er go, or I'll cut the rope.' "As I moved slowly down into the well I kept wondering if it would get any tighter, for a 185-pound m in fits an 18-inch hole pretty tight. But after I had descended about forty feet below the 20-inch pipe I discovered I was to have plenty of room, except in places where the formations were hard. As I passed through the tight places into large roomy yawning cavities it would make me cage, for I would dangle around on the table and could not touch anything for support, and they looked like large, red mouths prepared to swallow me up. "Then I went into another tight place which proved to be pure white time, with faint traces of blue streaks, like a cheekered pavement which I once saw on the ground floor of a temple, but down, down, down. I went. It was a new and strange world to me, and by the time I was half way down I began to look for bottom. I had to feel the walls when the light was out, to determine whether I was going up or down. "You can imagine my surprise when I reached the depth of 370 feet and could no longer hear the voices on the surface and could not yell loud enough to be heard myself, for I had expected to talk to the boys at the top. I felt lost in a way, for I realized that we had made a mistake by not arranging a signal code by means of the flashlight which I carried. However, the boys on top were lost more so than I was, for I knew where they were, and they didn't know just where I was, for when I was within about ten feet of the bottom they stopped and talked the matter over and hurriedly decided to pull me out and run the baller. I yelled as loud as I could to lower away, but they just pulled me out anyway, to see if they had caught any fish. They were using me for bait, they said. "When I reached the surface a crowd of about twenty-five had gathered to greet me. They looked upon me as though I were a new-born babe. They all tried to talk to me at once." "The air is bad as far down as 370 feet, where there is a seepage of gas, but lower than that it is just cool and damp, and has an odor of fresh earth. It also had a mist of rain falling continuously, and small pebbles falling from far above would sound like distant thunder, and as they came nearer would crash louder and louder as they struck the sides of the hole, and by the time they reached the bottom would gather other loose rocks and rain promiscuously on and around me. At one time I saw flashes of lightning and stars all at the same time, and heard loud crashes of thunder. The well was caving worse than usual. "On my last trip I succeeded in tying a chain around the lost bit, which weighed 2,000 pounds, and pulled it out, which was a saving of $3,000. "I made eight trips altogether, and no one trip was any less interesting than the others. If it wasn't for the danger involved, I would be glad for some geologist to make the trip with me, and explain those beautiful strata of white checkeder, blue, red and mixed colors of rock as we pass through." "SMELLER" LOCATES OIL WELL He "Scents" Metals Also by Walking Over Ground. Wichita Falls, Texas—Henry Zachary, an "oil smelter," was employed to locate the well of the Uncle Luke Wilson Oil Company on a lease on the Wilson ranch in the Archer district. He is said to be gifted with super-sensitive olfactory nerves which enable him to find buried oil or metals by simply passing over the ground. The Visitor—Is your oldest sister married—the one who was so proficient in all branches of domestic science? Philippa—No, nor likely to be. She was so busy fitting herself to be the wife of a good man that she neglected to go after the man. 7 ```markdown ``` V GRANTED that the story of printed silks and gorgeous fabrics is unfolding in brilliant array throughout fashion's pageantry. However, in this contest for supremacy the prestige of soft, supple, conservative satin loses not at all. Indeed, there is a growing sentiment for satin and its revival is attested among many of the foremost models for summer. Representative of the current mode is this satin frock in the accompanying picture. The long panels extending beyond the hem line are characteristic of the mode's trend. Another point in favor is the long sleeve. The presence of monkey fur responds to the fashion for a "touch of fur" on summer frocks. Canton crepe moire is one of the newest materials and its elegance precludes the necessity of further adornment. Gray is a very fashionable color. A noted model exhibited recently showed a bit of dyed fox fur to match. SUMMER CHAPEAU MESSA COMING! Picture hats graced with brims of immense proportion. So say the prophets versed in millinery fashion lion. From the standpoint of the feminine mind the broad-brimmed picture hat will have to be of a most persuasive sort to compete with the lovable little bonnet types. In spite of the lure of the popular poke and the snug-fitting cloche, who could resist the fascinations of a wide-brimmed transparent hair-body hat, such as is shown in the millinery group herew? It is in pastel colorings, the sheer brim a subtle green tint with a georgette-draped crown to match. The plumage is orchid and green. There is a disposition to employ American Beauty shades, and it is this rich, beautiful color which is carried out in the huge timbo straw hat shown, and the roses are of the same glorified coloring with waxen foliage in deepest green tones.

In regard to colors there is a steady demand for black, with evident favor also for castor, beige, the cocoa tones and silver. Just now, swing to the favor for blue in the trousseau of Lady Elisabeth Bowes-Lyon, whose recent marriage to the Duke of York is the one topic of conversation in London society, a host of charming blues are being exploited, "Lady Betty blue" being a favorite. It is also noteworthy that among the guests at the ceremony in Westminster Abbey there were many costumes stressing auburn red, copper and chestnut. Julia Bottomly X CONVEY AGE OF WIDE BRIMS A characteristic feature of present millinery vogue is the back-trim. This is noted both on large hats and small In fact, the Niniche shapes, as they call the wee scuttle brims which till square up at the back, are quite the last word, and they are filled in with flowers or ribbon across the collar. The model portrayed with a spreading lace fan at the rear of the crowns shows the effectiveness of the back-trim in connection with the chapeau of wider porportions. Gay-colored parrots find placement on many a summery hat. As a background for two slender tailed birds of brilliant plumage a large leghorn hat is shown to the top of the accompanying group, the same having a delicate maize-colored georgette crown.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 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 a citizen, a bill to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges thereof, shall be finet 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 not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the persecutor, thereby the persecutor recovered in any court competent to indiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional law law. 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 of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O.
