He did not get one word further. And he would never have gotten to finish that speech, if two of the national officers of the N. A. A. C. P. had not finally got up and appealed to the audience to let him go on, after he had effectually apologized. For the rest of his speech he pronounced the word NEGRO in good sound, round syllables. He had learned a lesson which he will not forget till his dying day—and none of the white people who sat and observed his humiliation will ever forget. But we pay him one compiliment: He was brave enough to acknowledge his error, effectively, and to make his speech—a pretty good one. And he had come to the meeting to "represent the governor of the state," too. Ten thousand colored people, from all over the United States, were there to hear him, and the other speakers. And bad habit took him. In his clubs and behind colored folks' backs, and to that breed of Negroes who will listen to naive insult and not hit back, he had been accustomed to speak affectionately. (?) of "the old darkies"—and when he got before this group, his tongue slipped. That was all. When you cultivate bad manners in secret and at home, those manners are likely to follow you in public and abroad, if you don't look out. After his tongue slipped—"the old darkey"—a dozen voices on the platform, among which was the voice of Bishop John Hurst, cried out: "The old WHAT?" The audience began to clap its hands, and every time that white man opened his mouth after that, 20,000 hands would clap, so that he could not hear his own voice. It was excruciatingly humillating. He was not going to be permitted to speak to that audience one word further, although he was frantically correcting himself by shouting: "The COLORED man, the old NEGRO man," in his efforts to get on. After the lesson was sufficiently impressed, some of the officers of the N. A. A. C. P. arose and asked that he be permitted to go on, and he was allowed to speak. He made a pretty good speech. He had learned unmistakably that the word "darkey" is not essential to a good speech. GOOD! Now, this fellow would never have even attempted to begin a speech to an audience of Irish by "the old Mick"—to an audience of Jews by "the old Sheeny"—to an audience of Italians by "the old Dago"—to an audience of Chinese by "the old Chink"—to an audience of Mexicans even by "the old Greaser"—and NEVER AGAIN will he begin to a colored audience with "the old Darkey." It was habit—habitual disrespect for a race. It can only be changed by the DEMAND of that race, made as it was made in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo. Amen! SHARLINE.—Last week Tuesday night, our local Improvement club held a meeting which was attended by 150 voters, all Afro-Americans. J. Elmer Harvey delivered a stirring address which was most enthusiastically received. He exhorted his hearers to become more active in all matters of vital interest to the race, and was given three cheers when he mentioned the candidacy of the editor of The Gazette for the Republican nomination for governor. Mr. Harvey's address was listened to carefully and thorouly appreciated by all. SPRINGFIELD.—Mrs. Eliza Dibbles was buried from Wiley M. E. church, Monday afternoon.

Ocean Beach, Calif.—Attempting to enforce a "color line segregation clause," illegally incorporated in real estate sales contracts in this state, on account of the Japanese, in which only members of the composite Caucasian race are permitted to buy, build or live within certain real estate subdivisions, a few prejudiced "white" citizens of this popular beach resort, have resorted to gun play and the destruction by fire of one of the homes of our people of this city. POLICE To Tell Why The Black Star Line Failed—Something of His Career By the Universal Service Bureau. Baltimore, Md.—Captain Hugh Mulzac, who has served little more than twenty years at sea on the deck of both British and American ships, graduated, March 23, 1909, from Swansea's Nautical College, Swansea, South Wales. In 1914 he finished the International Correspondence Schools as an Ocean Navigator, and on December 24, 1918, he graduated from the United States Shipping Board of Baltimore, Maryland. He completed a course in the operation and maintenance of the Sperry Gyroscope Compass, at the company's works, Brooklyn, N. N. Capt. Mulzac has a license as master of all oceans unlimited. On January 23, 1920, Captain Mulzac joined the Black Star Line as first officer of the steamship Yarmouth, and continued his services with the company until its foreclosure. Capt. Hugh Mulzac is in a position to give the true account and description of the management of the Black Star Line both on land and sea.

CELEBRATION, THE GREATEST Ever Held in Clark County—Congressman Dyer Makes a Fine Speech—The Parade and Program—K. K. K. Negro Preachers Springfield, O.—The Emancipation day celebration was the greatest event in the history of the county. The exercises opened with a parade a half mile in length which started at 10:30 A. M. and marched through the principal streets to the fair grounds, Capt. R. R. Rudd, grand marshal; Lieut. Thos. D. Walker, adjt.; Four divisions: First, (Lieut. BenJ. P. Rudd), Unity band, Axline camp, U. S. W. V.; Antonio Bailey post, A. L., and Men's Reg. Second, (Col. Arthur Stewart), Co.'s C and D. U. R. K of P.; Patriarchie, and American Woodmen, Third, (Chas. W. Greene). A. W. Ladies' band, Women's Reg., Juvenile Odd Fellows and representatives of various S. S. Fourth, (Mr. Chas. Murphy and the transportation com.) all vehicles. Beginning at 2 P. M. the following program was rendered: Opening, chair, directed by Miss Cole; inv, rev, P. B. Broughton; remarks, Col. A. J. Riggs; reading the emancipation proclamation, Miss Louise Greene; song, "We've Fought Everybody's Battle But Our Own," choir; offering; address, Hon. L. C. Dyer, member Congress from Missouri; benediction, Rev. L. C. Holloway. The speech by Mr. Dyer, which was the chief event of the day, was listened to by fully 5000 people who filled the grand stand and the grounds around the speaker's stand. For nearly two hours, they cheered as Mr. Dyer reviewed the history of the race, urged them to greater effort, and explained the purposes of his anti-lynching bill. The Ku Klux Klan was denounced. Also Negro preachers who accepted money from it and were thus trying to barter away the rights of their people. He said they were unworthy to be called ministers of the gospel and should be sent to Texas or Alabama, etc. No admission charge to the celebration was charged. Insurance Investor Has Property Insane Inventor Has Property. El Paso, Tex.-Charles C. Moore. Inventor of several appliances for railway cars, and who recently received a patent for an automatic sewerage tank for sleeping cars, was adjudged insane, Sept. 13, and sent to the asylum. Moore recently completed another invention which was destroyed by fire. He became sick and his strange actions caused his arrest by police. At the station where he was being questioned, someone in, attempt to be funny, pressed a button which charged a rail on which Moore was leaning. He received a violent shock. He was thrown in jail and the abuse of other inmates caused him to become hopelessly insane. Moore has considerable property and his relatives are unknown. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Tried To Make Him Eat It! Stripped, Handcuffed, Whipped and Beaten While Tied To A Tree. Oklahoma City, Okla.—How white brutes, a masked mob (Ku Kluxers) at Tulsa, this state, after mercilessly beating an Afro-American, cut off one of his cars and tried to force him to eat it, was made public, Sunday night, by Gov. J. C. Walton, in the form of testimony given the Tulsa military court by J. H. Smitherman, the victim. "This is only one of the hundreds of such crimes committed which the civil authorities of this state refused to prosecute," declared the executive, "I ask the people of the civilized world, in the presence of this testimony; if I was not justified in proclaiming martial law in the city of Tulsa?" Gov. Walton said "the Ku Klux Klan is bound to become an issue in the next national election," that he "believed the Klan was licked in this state," and that he is prepared to go on indefinitely with his campaign against the miserable lawless organization. Next, one of the brutes spit in his face. Smitherman testified, after accusing him of "angrently menace conduct" toward a white woman, which, of course, was untrue. Then he was beaten severely by two of his abductors, he declared, adding: "One would, whip until he exhausted himself and then the other would whip me." Threatened With Death. "Finally," Smitherman testified, "the man who spit in my face stuck a gun to my head and said: 'I am going to kill you.' But one of the unmasked ones dissented, so they talked it over privately for a few minutes." Then the man who started ed to kill me came up, pulled a knife out and cut off my ear. Then he tried to make me eat it and, when I refused, he took the butt end of the whip and beat me in the face until he was tired, all the time trying to make me eat my car. Finally they turned me loose and told me to leave Tulsa and to leave Oklahoma. Worse Thin, Barbarians! J. H. Smitherman, the victim referred to, related how on the night of March 10, 1922, he was summoned to his door by twelve white brutes (Kluxers), eight of whom were masked, forced into an automobile at the point of revolvers, taken into the country, stripped of his clothing, handcuffed and tied to a tree, whereupon his captors accused him of registering Afro-Americans as Democrats and advising them to vote against the city administration: A "Wilberfor The Troubles Straightened O and Williamson Given Beaten and Exposed But A "Wilberforce" Victory! The Troubles Straightened Out—Bundy, the Misses Cook and Williamson Given Justice—Trustee Forte Beaten and Exposed—Everybody Happy (The Tourgee News Service. ) Wilberforce, O.-There is great rejoicing all about the campus, these days. A great victory has been won and the Misses Lucinda Cook and Anna Williamson, two of the very best and most popular teachers "Wilberforce" has ever had, are to remain. The board of trustees at its meeting, last Saturday, "cleared the decks" and "dumped" Trustee Ormond Forte of Cleveland and his satellites, "good and proper." They tried to force the teachers named out of the Combined (State) Normal & Industrial Department of Wilberforce University by reducing their salaries and demoting Miss Cook. That it would injure the school seemed to give them no concern. This, in the face of the fact that the board had set aside $10,000 of the state's appropriation to be used in the increase of teachers' salaries. It was a joint meeting of the university board of control and the C. N. & I. board that settled matters. Prof. Richard Bundy was made superintendent of the C. N. & I. department. Miss Cook restored to herold position as director of elementary training and Miss Williamson restored with an increase of salary. Good! Prof. Winters, (white), state director of teacher training, met with the boards and spoke "wonderfully, well of the Misses Cook and Williamson, as he always does, because they are among the best teachers in the state, without reference to race or class, and he frankly says so. Bishop J. H. Jones, who has been so very ill for many weeks, stood up like a giant for the ladies and must he given credit it. too. The only discordant note guarded in the meeting was Forte's ridiculous whine. Of course it was OUR ECONOMIC PROGRESS. Washington, D.

IN UNION IT IS STRONG EAR! Make Him Eat It! Fed, Whipped and Fied To A Tree. Brutes Than the Man-Eating Era of Darkest Africa— Routing Them. Next, one of the brutes spit in his face, Smitherman testified, after accusing him of "ugentlement conduct" toward a white woman, which, of course, was untrue. Then he was beaten severely by two of his abductors, he declared, adding: "One would whip until he exhausted himself and then the other would whip me." Threatened With Death. "Finally," Smitherman testified, "the man who spit in my face stuck a gun to my head and said: "I am going to kill you." But one of the unmasked ones dissented, so they talked it over privately for a few minutes." Then the man who started to kill me came up, pulled a knife out and cut off my ear. Then he tried to make me eat it and, when I refused, he took the butt end of the whip and beat me in the face until he was tired, all the time trying to make me eat my car. Finally they turned me loose and told me to leave Tulsa and to leave Oklahoma, warning if I did not, one of the twelve would kill me." Smitherman testified that he told his captors he had advised all the Afro-Americans he could to register as Democrats and vote that ticket because he himself was a Democrat. He said he denied the accusation concerning mis-conduct toward a white woman. Smitherman and his brother were prosperous residents of Tulsa and are intelligent men, respected by all the decent people of the place. rce" Victory! Out—Bundy, the Misses. Cook Justice—Trustee Forte —Everybody Happy Him ignored. He was among MEN, not children, and it was unworthy of notice. His time as a trustee has expired and there are none who could even dream of Gov. Donahay's reappointing him. Forte should never have been appointed a member of the board. It was a case of very cheap politics that netted him the appointment. Capt. Walter Thomas was there, too, and did some very effective and excellent work. The veteran is still a potent factor and gave prime evidence of the fact, last week. Of course there were others, trustees, all of whom are deserving of the greatest praise and are getting it. This is as it should be. Now let "Willberforce" continue to go forward and she will, too. The institution has made splendid progress in the last six or eight years and its future is now brighter than it has been for a long, long time. Auto and Baggage Burn! Bellefontaine, O.—A motor trip in which a narrow escape from death was experienced, is told of by a party coming here from Chicago last week. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hopkins, were accompanying Miss Laura Goens, of this city, and Mrs. Grace Myers, of Cleveland, on the trip. When about 50 miles out of Chicago a tire left one of the wheels and in the driver's attempt to avoid a ditch the car "turned turtle." All were thrown out but not injured to any extent. The car was completely destroyed and part of the baggage of the travelers by fire, and the journey here was continued by rail. The party are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goens, and all are relatives. Pro-American is making good in- in- s indicated by the last U.

There is no power on earth that can stop their emigra- tion. Thank the Lord for that! Th well-wishers of Wilberforce University, and they are many throughout Ohio and the country, will rejoice to learn that its “In- side” troubles have been “straight- ened out” and the institution will now take on new life and go for- ward as {t never has before. The institution has been making splen- did pfogress for six or eight years until early last year when new troubles arose from within that caused more or less concern upon the part of the school’s close friends ever since. Last Saturday, the controlling boards got together and did the necessary work, with the result that apparently every- body, closely allied to the instt- tution, is very happy, these days. ‘The establishment of Chicago's “jim crow” Y. M. C. A. was the greatest cause of that city’s segre- gation.

Si TRIBUTE FROM A DEMOCRAT. The owner of the New York ‘Times, one of the principal mouth- pieces of Democracy, recently called on President Coolidge. It is his ex- pressed opinion that the new Chief Executive will surpass the expecta- tions of the people. That is a trib- ute indeed.. Seldom in the history of the country have the expectations of a new President been so high as in the case of Mr. Cootidge. Thus far the opposition press has found practically nothing in his public rec- ‘ord on which to hang a criticism. All editors of both political parties wish him well, and appear to take It for granted that his administration will bring great popular satistac- tion. Now let us hope that the pol- fey of the New York Times and other Democratic journals will be one of helpful suggestion rather than par- tisan attack. Let those papers in- still Into the minds of the people a confidence in their government. We Delieve that the President's every act will be inspired by an intense de- sire to serve the public welfare. But whether the people appreciate that fact as his administration develops depends on the attitude of the news- papers which the people read. Let Democratic editors tell the simple truth of what transpires at Wash- ington, and abstain from placing party politics before patriotism. The people can then form a proper esti- mate of what President Coolidge is doing for them, and give him the support that he deserves. Wh KNOW ENOUGH. “The complaint on the part of Doth political leaders and people of intelligence that the citizens of this country are grossly ignorant of foreign affairs and, what is worse, are totally indifferent to them, make an old story,” says the internation- alist editor of the New York Jour- nal of Commerce. The people of this country know enough about foreign affairs to appreciate that those affairs are shot through with intrigue, false vows, racial and trade Jealousies, territorial covetousness, distinctions of caste, factionalism, and im some instances religious in- tolerance, all of which breed mill- tarism to support the diplomacy of deceft. To the extent, therefore, that we firmly refuse to participate in such an international bedlam as exists in Europe we may be accused of being indifferent. But it is prob- ably fair to state that the average ‘minded American is better posted on foreign governments than the lead- ers of those governments are with Fespect to our own, if the credulous- ‘ness of the plenipotentiaries of the four big powers at the Versailles Conference is a fair Indication of their ideas concerning the authority of an American President. In any case, we know enough to mind our own business, which is more than can be said of foreign countries and internationalist editors, MADAM SELIKA, OUR GREATEST SOLOIST! Roland Hayes, tenor, has been engaged for the coming season as soloist with the Boston and Detroit Symphony Orchestras, TRis is a distinction seldom attained by one of the race. Indeed, we recall but one other. Hayes recently returned from Europe, where he gave con- certs in London, Paris and Vienna. He sang by royal command before King George at Buckingham Pal- ace. Madam Marie Selika (Mrs. Samp- son W. Williams), our greatest ‘singer, for no member of the race has as yet reached her status as a Vocalist, was soloist with Levy's great concert band of sixty or eighty musicians in music hall, this city, years ago, and sang with the organization in other cities. The editor of The Gazette's heart still swells with pride as he recalls the scene here, Just Imagine, if you please, an audience of quite five thousand people, many of whom were among Cleveland's wealthiest and best residents (very few of our people present and they dis- tributed in about all sections of the great hall). Then “see’ the large stage almost covered with the great concert band which was rated better than Sousa’s Marine band and on a par with the famous Pat. Gilmore's and Cappa’s, the two best concert bands in the coun- try at the time and as good as any that have appeared on the concert stage in this country since. In the middle of the first of the two parts of the program that memorable evening, a door opens at the right of the stage (as you “face” it) and through it comes the Madam immediately followed by the great cornet-soldist (possi- bly the greatest In the world at the time) and concert-band leader, Mons. Levy, who with his left hand raises the Madam’s right a trifle above the waist-line and escorts her to the front-center of the stage in the midst of his large band while the audience applauds. He then ascends a small and slightly raised platform (back of her) to direct his organization while it is furnishing the accompaniment for her classical selection (song). He escorts her to the stage door, at its completion, while the splendid au- dience with storms of applause voices its delight. All of the fore- soing Is repeated when she returns for the well-earned encore except shat the Madam complies with merely an appearance and bow in- stead of a second encore as the audience so greatly desires. Madam Selika was “a gem of the very finest” as a smger; she was really a great artist, a great soprano soloist, and so recognizea by the best critics at home and abroad. She, too, sang throughout Europe, appearing in concert tn London with Carlotta Patti who at that time was an even greater con- cert soprano than her since more famous sister, Adelina, who was the world’s “queen of song” on the concert stage for so very many years. Roland Hayes, it seems, as a tenor soloist bids fair to ascend to the artistic heights attained by Madam Marie Selika and we ‘sin- cerely trust that he does. He has a really remarkable voice judging from domestic and foreign reports of musical critics. This race of ours admittedly has great musical ability, particularly Yocal, and ought to have produced more than one great artist in the last quarter of a century and more, If we could but “do the drudg- ery that brings perfection or near- perfection”, we would long ago have had va fair share of the art- TME GAZETTE, CLEVELA!.D, ©, SATURDAY, SEPT. 29, 1923. “AM-Star” Outfit Wins. of the world, and Jack Johnson, for- An all-star outfit composed of the{mer heavyweight champion, ' will leading luminaries of the Schusters,| meet in a six-round exhibition con- Kleinmans and Clarks and playing] test here, Monday night. under the last name, defeated the pass Sas Tate Stars, 2 to 1, at Tate field, Sun- 9 wimkemeatta Comte Bey coasock. tor tes sored ae), Cn IR Cmte this season, In'a game that was feat-|yont between Harry Wille, heavy ured by good felding, and 9 Dita | eee ee ag ieala: battle between Ted Teske and Bil] Non” Aion °wnich was’ tO have Schardt of the Clerks and McCall of | pe9: Ml Tivureday night, has been Sena one err ang Mho reed been held, Thursday night, has been ‘ postponed until October 4.

When a Jewish holiday comes along, as was the case, last week and a few weeks ago, Central and Seovill Avenues, streets in Cleveland that run thru the very heart of the istrict most thickly populated by our people, remind one of a grave- yard, with nearly all of their places of business closed. Editor Wm. War- ley of the Louisville (Ky.) News and Editor Fred, Moore of the N, Y. Age say this same condition prevails “everywhere in this country.” About time then we were spending fewer millions of money, every year, at- tending conventions and having long summer vacations at distant points, and putting some of it into business in our own districts that are now monopolized by members of other races or classes, Where we as a race “shine” is when it comes to TALK, DRESS and PLEASURE, Not even excepting the Jews and the Irish —we verily believe that our people are the most verbose, “superlative” ‘and wasteful of any on the face of the earth. Not another race or class in this country makes such a pitiful showing when it comes to business places, even in settlements of our own, as do our people. In spite of this fact just let them get together and O, how they can TALK and “blow” about the “wonderful prog: ress" they “are making in a business way.” It will make anyone, wh knows the facts, sick at heart. Isn't ft about time our press and pulpit were telling the masses of our people the plain truth and “forcing it home? AMERICA RIDICULED! By Russian Papers For Barbaric Lynchings—A Comic Paper Il- lustrates The Southern American “Pastime,” New York City.—In an interest- ing article on how the Russian peo- ple regard America which appears in The New Republic of Sept. 19, Arthur Ruhl, famous author and newspaper correspondent, tell of the effect upon the Russian people of Rews regarding lynchings and mob violence in the United States. Mr. Ruhl fs now in Russia and in his ar- ticle, headed, “What the Russians Think of Us," has this to say: “... .'A Moscow comic paper last summer published on its front Page a cartoon consisting of two pictures in parallel columns. One, representing a group of African can- nibals seated around a fire waiting for a helmeted white man to be roasted, was labelled ‘In Barbarous Africa.” ‘The other, representing a Negro. burning at ‘the stake, sur- rounded by a mob of gleeful whites. Was labelled ‘In Cultured America.’ This aspect of our clvilization, which puzzles nearly all Europeans, is an easy target for satire and every once in so often comes a cartoon of this sort or an editorial on The Brute with a Veneer of Civilization...” THE TUSKEGEE U. 8.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of Universal diserimina- tion, and are winning even s0- cial ‘rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. The race that says it’s of no “ase to resist, dewns itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of eqeal rights; ‘they are by me: ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts.’" The world re- spects only those who resent and resist proseriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- litionists, worthy cf 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 long race diserimination may continue.

A paper giving a brief general state- ment regarding electrolysis and cor rosion, and presenting a detailed dis- cussion of the various methods of electrolysis mitigation that have been Proposed or tried for protecting un- derground structures, has just been issued by the United States bureau of standards. Methods of mitigation are treated under two heads, namely, those applicable to pipes and those ap- plicable to the railway return system. ‘The conclusion is drawn that while certain of the methods applicable to pipes, particularly pipe drainage and insulating joints, are often valuable, they should in general be used as auxiliary measures only, the chief re- ifance being placed on reducing poten- tial drops in the railway return to reasonably low values. Where return feeders are necessary for accomplish- ing this, insulated feeders are prefer able, because more economical. In the last chapter there is present- ed a discussion of the principles on which regulations concerning electro- lysis mitigation should be bused, an¢ the responsibilities of owners of un- derground utilities as well as of the railway companies and emphasized. PATENTS AN AUTOMATIC OILER Intended for Use on Electric Air Com- pressor. s A Rock Island man has been grant- ‘ed 8 patent on an automatic oiling de- vice. It is intended to be used on an electric air compressor. There is a fine wire connected with the piston rod which dips into an oil cup as the riston reaches the lowest point in the stroke. The oil circulates thru return- ing to the oil cup. One Rock Island company has used the device for two years and found it a success. HOLDS MORTGAGE PROBABLY ON HOUS” OF LANDLOaD WHO CAN'T GET RENT And It’s All Due to Man Who Doesn't Lay By for Rainy Day. James Smith was taken sick and lost the use of his right arm. He had a wife and four children dependent upon him and for a year he was out of work and faced starvation. He lived in a modest frame cottage and his rent was $16 a month. He had no money laid away when he was taken sick, and only because the landlord was kindly inclined did he have a roof cve his head. Neihbors and friends helped him and somehow he pulled through that dreary year. ‘The landlord was not a wealthy man; he only looked so. He was “property poor.” He owned about fif- ty houses and owing to a depreciation an real estate values and general bus iness stagnation was unable to sell his real estate and lived on his rents. He ‘was, on a larger seale, in almost az bad a condition as his tenant. For two years he paid no interest on the mortgage on Smith’s houw.c and the taxes were in arrears for over three years. A savings bank held the mortzage and was as patien: with the landlord as the landlord ws with Stith. Therefore the owner of he house was not Sinidh’s benetacto but the bank. The bank carried the soad which the sickness of Smitl brought to the landlord, and that 1s what banks are for. Likewise in the matter of taxes. ‘The city paid its bills from tax money gathered from property owners lke the landlord. But when Smith paid no rent and the landlord paid nc taxes, the elty had to go to some bank and borrow until the landlord paid up. ‘And so anothe~ bank came to the rez- cue and saved both Smith and his Jandl rd. ‘We owe a great deal to banks. ‘hey carry many a load the public never sees. They ease the jars of life, They furnish the steam to keep the engine running. We could not get along without them. Some day you may be out of work and unable to pay your rent. As a home owner you may get behind in your taxes: but remember, somebody, through the medium of a bank, comes to the rescue and carries your load when you can’t carry it yourself. When in good health why not appre- ciate these facts, and when your load fs easy, help carry someone else’s load by banking your money where it will, in a quiet and unassuming way, do some good to somebody besides yourself. To be ready to meet your rainy day, you thust spend less than you earn. ‘The sky may look very blue and the clouds very far away; but be assured that it will rain some time, and it your days are not rainy ones, some- ‘one is out in the storm somewhere, and the bank will carry for you the load that comes to the thrifty as well as the spendthrift, for storms are no respectors of _persons.—American Bankers’ Association. has LUCKY STONES IN MAIL Odd Gems of All Kinds are Sent by Postoffice.

The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio, announced the completion of its fortieth year of continuous publication on August 18th.

Delegates' and visitors' railroad fare to conventions during the month of August alone cost the race nearly a million dollars much of which should have been put into some business if not in banks. Many of them will need it greatly this winter. The same is true of many of our people who do not own homes but who are buying automobiles that are used for pleasure only. There has been considerable complaint, all this week, on the part of our people as a result of alleged overcharging and other discrimination at the Metropolitan theater where the "Shuffle Along Co." is holding forth. The reports say that our people are segregated and refused seats in the floor center section of the theater. Well, if this is true, there is plenty of law to punish the management of the theater for it, and if our people so mistreated will not use' the law to vindicate their rights they should not complain. Those who hold their rights and treat them so cheaply in the courts to get them are not worthy of them and are certainly not entitled to sympathy or anything else. The Louisville News extends to the Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette its sinceest congratulations on its forty-first birthday. The Cleveland Gazette started, last Saturday, on Volume 41, No. 1. The age of The Gazette is greater than that of the editor of the News and The Gazette justly boasts it has never missed an issue in its forty years of existence. When the editor of The News was a child, the Cleveland Gazette was the firing-line fighting for race rights, equality and recognition. That it has done this fifty-two weeks in the year for over forty years is a remarkable and praiseworthy feat. Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, not only deserves praise and honor for his consistent race fights in his paper but also as author of a Civil Rights bill and an Anti-Lynching bill he had passed while a member of the Ohio State Legislature. These laws have done the race great good in Ohio. So we can thank him and his many happy returns of the day—Hon. Harry C. Smith and Cleveland Gazette—one and the same. Louisville (Ky.) News; Mr. Wm. Warley, editor. Howard E. Murrell is to be a candidate for the City Council in the third district, Geo. A. Bellamy (white) of the Hiram House announced, Wednesday. Howard was a clerk in the railway mail service for fourteen years and is president of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. He is not well known to our people of the district or the city, and practically unknown to the white voters of the good people of ward 11 in their effort to unload to incubus. He will make a very poor candidate, providing of course the Board of Elections passes favorably on the signatures he must file in order to become a candidate. The other "announced" Afro-American candidates in that district, Dr. Joe Thomas and Sam Sloane in the woods." Tom Fleming the perennial councilmanic candidate is again in the field, of course with the hope that the Republican organization will "count" him in again like it did, two years ago. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO You advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination.

Clay pipes are turned out in great numbers in an insignificant appearing building in Point Pleasant, Ohio, the town where former President U. S. Grant was born. To watch the progress of this humble handiwork is quite interesting. The clay is first obtained from the lowlands overflowed by the Ohio River and washed by the waters of time until it has a bluish appearance, and only this particular kind is used, as all others prove unsuccessful. It is hauled by wagon loads and placed in a reservoir as it were, in which are large knives which cut the clay and thoroly mix it. The knives go round and round to be turned by a horse attached to a pole by means of harness and ropes, after the fashion of our forefathers in the making of sorghum, molasses. The molds to burn the pipes in are also made here. The clay is then taken from the cellar in huge, compact bulks to an upper room and placed upon oiled tables, where it is shaped and cut in long, round strips by knives and then cut into short round pieces, just the length of a pipe. These pieces are then thrown into a pan containing a mixture of kerosene and machine oils and vigorously stirred until they become quite oily. From this they are taken to the machine for shaping them, which resembles a boom very much, and one by one they are placed in a groove in this machine and thence, by using the foot upon the pedal beneath, a long iron rod attached to a wooden beam above is brought down upon this clay, this movement forming the cavity of the pipe and the smaller opening to admit the air when in use. A similar backward movement upon the pedal lifts the iron rod back to its place above, and the perfectly shaped pipe is then taken from the groove, with the thumb and forefingers of the right hand and placed upon shallow, long boxes, which will hold 500. Care must be taken in extricating the pipes from these grooves or a mashed finger is the result of the rod not being held safely above by the downward movement of the pedal beneath. The pipes are in their most beautiful state when placed upon these drying boxes. They are wet and glistening with oil and look to be highly varnished. If these boxes of newly made pipes are set out in the sun, where a harvest sun will dry them in about two days fit for the kiln, where they are burned. In winter, however, they are dried in long, shallow tin pans by a hot fire over a long, oven-shaped stove. Eight of these boards, containing 500 pipes each, is considered a day's work, altho 6,000 and 8,000 are made by some of the mea. Think of putting in and taking from that one groove, with one hand 10,000 pipes daily and each one separate from the other! These sun or fire dried (as the season may be) pipes are all stacked in a room from which they are shovelled with long narrow shovels, into molds and carried to the kiln, which is a large round affair with a furnace beneath, and each mold of pipes is shoved into place. The kiln is then closed and contains 13,000 molds. A steady fire is kept going until the fire is thoroly burned. Two kilns are burned monthly. After they are burned sufficiently and have become cooled they are thrown in heaps in the packing room ready for packing. The pine lumber for the boxes is shipped in the required lengths and widths and you may be bending over the benches, busily at work, shaping and constructing these little boxes, more than one fair face—wives of the ineborers—a partnership affair, as one of them laughingly stated.

A Noted White Writer on the Rational Bringing Up of Children—This Country's Unfairness, Hypocrisy and Injustice to the Afro American Afro-American. New York City.—Benzion Liber, noted writer of essays on the rational bringing up of children, and regarded as one of the greatest authorities on the subject in the white race, was recently asked the question, "Would you permit white children to be Colored Children?" In his latest book, containing 316 pages, he answers in the following manner: "Of course I would! And, as conditions stand nowadays in the United States, association between children of both races should be encouraged. In fact, the only hope to ever solve the race problem in this country is in the children, who, if left alone, would soon wipe it out, so that the next generation will forget all barriers and prejudices created and maintained by those who have or have had an interest to divide in order to rule—and to enslave. Look at the children of both races in the sections of the northern cities: The black, fight and have fun together, entire family forming the color of their skin. Children by themselves, do not see any class or other distinctions. If they like a companion, he is unceremoniously admitted to their society and becomes a friend. Uninfluenced, the most "aristocratic" or the richest child will enjoy the society of the poorest and socially lowest little playmate. Just permit one generation of all white and black children of the South of the United States to troil and romp together and refrain from anything about the struggle that they face about the days of servitude and slave ownership; let them grow up with the sentiments gained personally from one another through direct contact, and the face of this great commonwealth is changed. "I know you fear that the Colored child may be an inferior being. But you are not so careful when it comes to white playmates. Your child may associate with the progeny of mentally deficient, unsocial, physi- ATTENTION VETERANS! If you served ninety days or more in the Spanish-American War, the Chinese Relief Expedition, or in the Philippines prior to July 4, 1902, you will be interested to know Congress has passed a Pension Law of vital interest to you. This law contains two provisions: 1st, it allows pensions to all ex-soldiers, sailors and marines with the above service record who were honorably discharged and who are now over sixty-two years of age; 2nd, it allows pension to those who are at present materially disabled from earning their ltvng by manual labor from disease, if the disability be not the result of their own misconduct. Such disability must be permanent but need not be total. If you are the result of military service, THE SOLDIER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SIXTY-TWO YEARS OLD TO CLAIM ON DISABILITY. The amount of pension depends upon the degree of disability and ranges from $12 to $30 per month. Widows of veterans are also allowed pensions. If you wish advice about this law write M. E. Buchanan, Route 1, Trevilians, Virginia. Prompt action is desirable, as a pension if allowed begins from the filing of the claim. The Act of September 1st, 1922, enlarges the provisions of the Act of June 5th, 1920. This affects many soldiers who have been rejected, increases the pension of widows and children under 16 years of age and other important matters effecting veterans and widows. Soldiers rejected on medical grounds should write to me. Please enclose stamp for reply.

The difference between the thin layer of culture and breeding which covers our instincts and our barbarous and primitive inner selings and that of the freshly civilized agro is one of quantity and is not always so our advantage. It takes only a generation or two of initiative upbringing to change a "savage" into a "civilized" person and it would take no more for any of our descendants to revert to the "savage" state if left at the mercy of primeval customs in some African village. "You have acquired the Negro by plunder and barter, you have worked him and stolen the products of his labor. While liberating him officially, you have implanted into him the slave psychology and debased him so as to keep him down, weighted by the mass of calumnies with which you have surrounded and chained him. Hypocritically you deplore his low mental state while you are doing everything to arrest his mind and in real relations with him lawlessness is a virtue.

FOR WATER OR ICE TRIPS Unique Craft—Chief Feature is Way Power is Applied—Long Flanged Cylinders Parallel to Hull Cylinders Parallel to Hull Picture a boat which is non-sinkable and capable of a speed of 25 miles an hour, able to travel over ice or water equally well, and in a pinch capable of logging off a few miles on a sandy beach, and you will have a conception of the boat which Edward Mantell of Hoquiam, Wash, has designed. The chief feature of the new boat is the way the power is applied to drive the hull thru the water. The working model rests principally on two cylinders, each nearly as long as the hull and parallel to the hull. These cylinders are hollow and carry a spiral flange running from stem to stern. The cylinders are turned by the engine and the curved flange grips the water like a worm gear and drives the boat forward. The hull proper is of little beam, but the superstructure is built out over the cylinders giving a maximum carrying space. The cylinders turn away from the boat in order to throw out any driftwood or wreckage, thus making it impossible for a piece of wood to jam between the hull and the cylinder and stop the boat. The non-sinkable feature is claimed on the grounds that the centrifugal force of the revolving cylinders would fice water out of the air chambers, even the they were punctured. He also declares that on reaching a speed of fifty miles an hour the boat will plane and just bury the flanges, under the surface, reducing the friction. TAKES PLACE OF WOOD AND TIN Common Brown Pauly Turned Into Countless Stalk Articles Countess State Articles. An ordinary piece of brown wrapping paper may be made into a dish pan, bucket, ax handle, cart wheel, pulley, barrels, boxes and numerous other useful articles, if you have the proper machinery and know how to do it, according to a mechanical engineer, who has recently returned to Chicago from Europe. In Germany this material has been manufactured for ten years. It has been found a substitute for tintpleat and wood, and anything that has been made of those materials may be duplicated in this paper product, the Chicagoan declares. The finished product is similar to that which may be made from wood pulp under powerful hydraulic pressure, but at a far lower cost. Its manufacture which has recently been started in the United States, should put on the market many articles now in general use at a much greater reduction in cost. NEW BOLTLESS RAIL JOINT Inventor Claims Device Keeps Ends of Rails Uniform. A boltless rail joint is being demonstrated to several Maine railroad companies. Like the rail joints now generally in use the ends of the rails are clamped together by fishplates but instead of the four bolts through the fishplates and the rails the new invention has a tapering wedge held in place by a nut. This wedge fits firmly against the fishplate inside the rail and is pushed forward tightly into place against the plate and the rail by simply turning the nut. The inventor, a Portland man, claims for his patent that it will keep the ends of rails always uniform, doing away with bumps at rail joints, and that it will permit even expansion or contraction according to the weather. There are no bolts to work loose nor to be constantly looked after, he declares. OBTAINS PATENT ON AUTOSLED Invention Thought to be Improvement on Predecessors. A mechanic formerly in a machine shop at Palouse, Wash., has secured a government patent for an autoslides which he invented. This patent is said to be the ninth issue by the government for autoslides. The body of any automobile can be placed on the runners, to which two drive wheels are attached, with propeller blades projecting from the spokes. The wheels are attached to the rear runners and the propeller blades which automatically disappear when any obstruction is encountered, are made to take hold in the firm snow packed by the front runners. NEW PHOTO PRINTING MACHINE Patented Device that Turns Them Out by Thousands. A machine has been patented by two Madison, Wis., men, which is expected to revolutionize commercial photography. The device will turn, out 14,000 uniform white and black photographic prints per hour. The inventor claims that actual photographs are of great value in advertising, but peretorefo have been too expensive. This plan would so reduce the cost as to make wider use of photographs possible. DEVISES A COOLING MACHINE Works Automatically and Does Away With Ice. Two Dwight, Ill., men are inventors of a machine for cooling or refrigerators without the use of ice. When once installed it is automatic in action, needs no looking after and will keep the interior of the ice box at the required coolness. The machine has been tested for a year and will now be manufactured for general use. ELECTRIC CURRENT IS FLESH REDUCER Loss of Two Pound Daily Otton Reg lettered by Proctect Exercise reduces flesh; heoseck riding invigorates the liver, and heat cures rheumatism—old wives' maximals, all. And the modern sanitarium which makes a specialty of doing the old fashioned things in new ways has solved the problem of curing these common but unpleasant ailments by a scientific adaptation of the old wives' principles, says Popular Science Monthly. The fleshy ones long since discovered that exercise and diet reduce flesh on the face and that, if grimly persisted in, the rest of the body will ultimately respond. Science has devised a means of concentrating the exercise on the spot desired. This is done by applying the electric current direct to the too fleshy spot by means of adjustable electrodes. The current is painless but very powerful, causing violent and irresistible twitching, which continues as long as the electrodes are applied. To increase the work performed by the current and thus augment the benefits derived, bags of sand are placed over the part of the body which is being treated. The effect is the same as would be secured by heavy exercise in this particular spot. The patient perspires freely and the flesh seems to melt away. There is no discomfort and little fatigue, while the results are very gratifying, a loss of two pounds daily often being registered. Horseback riding for the possessors of torpid livers, amongst those who lead sedentary lives, is provided in the modern sanitarium by an iron and leather mechanical horse. A morning ride on this always willing steed does much toward relieving cloggingness of the liver circulation. Neuralgia and rheumatism cases are also among those which come in large numbers to sanitariums for treatment. Diathermy, in other words, heat penetration, has been found exceptionally successful. The pleasant pastime of drinking gallons of lithia water at a fashionable resort is now supplanted by direct application of a heat blast machine. This heats the air electrically and at the same time drives it with force through a funnel. The heat can thus be applied to the painful region complained of by the patient. An abdominal kneading machine, much used in sanitariums and private hospitals is operated by hand. The patient leans heavily against knoblite compressors, and, by turning a crank himself operates the machine. The abdominal massage is thorough going and improves the digestion of the patient. GIVES POWERFUL LIGHT Western Inventor Produces Reflector Which is Marvel to Science. Through the development of a specially designed reflector and projectortype housing for an incandescent lamp, a young western electrician has brought out a lantern which when fitted with a 1,000 watt nitrogen filled globe, produces a penetrating light rated at approximately 500,000 candle power. The lamp is suited for various indoor purposes, and is also well adapted for brilliant exterior illumination. Simplicity, efficiency, and economy in operation make its use more convenient in many places than the more expensive and complex searchlight. It is of especial value for night construction work in the open as well as for emergency and general purposes. Batteries of these lights were used to assist the night rescue work at the time of the Eastland tragedy, and proved very adequate. It was following this rather spectacular demonstration of their power that they were adopted for illuminating one of the municipal bathing beaches at Chicago, where a number of accidents had occurred. It was desired to light the surf and shore both as a measure of safety and convenience to the bathers. Ten lights were used in this capacity. The several units having an aggregate of about 5,000 candle power, lighted the water for a considerable distance out into the lake. A battery of four of the lamps equipped with motor driven color wheels has been utilized in carrying out an interesting illuminating scheme at a Chicago restaurant. The ceiling has been draped with silk hangings, above which the lamps are installed. The color wheels are not operated in synchronism, so constantly changing and blending hues are cast upon the translucent silk and through it upon the diners. A silver plated reflector is used with the lamp. At the back of it is a regulating device which enables it to be focused for use as a spotlight, if desired.—Popular Mechanics. For washing dishes without wetting the hands a California woman has invented a mop which may be connected with a sink spigot, the water passing through a soap container. WHEN GENIUS SPROUT$ The Story of Man Who Expects to As- tain the World. To every man there years a great and uncontrollable yearning to take pen in hand and inscribe his most thoughts that the world may read and marvel and read again. Also they shall pay him. He muses with himself in soium communion by watercress or in the shelter of his own hearth, and bechinks him that, if he had o'ry the time, his name should be great and he be numbered among the mighty. So he takes his pen in hand and writes his thoughts, pours out his spirit and is amazed at the eloquence now around, so long concealed from a barren world. And, reading his magnum opus, he is lifted up into the clouds and dreams in a seventh heaven especially for amateur writers that a few more morns he shall wake up and the mailman, and the millman, the grocer and the lecanan shall down before him, and say, "And this is the man we bothered for last week's pill, shame upon us." And he sends forth his writing and orders a new suit, and some silk shirts and some fancy socks, and a hat with three coral bow, and some nautic ties, and looks at automobiles with a fraternizing air, and aspects houses and doesn't comb his hair, and is found in deep abstraction, and starts and makes notes on scraps of paper. And then his writing comes back, and the editor says he is sorry, but says it so politely that the author writes him a letter discussing the matter and pointing out what he feels has been overlooked in his masterpiece. And then no answer comes and the author gets mad and writes a letter to the papers, and then, some quiet morning, when fillers are scarce, somebody finds the letter and it is printed. Whereupon the author buys three dozen copies and sends them to his friends, and is proud of spirit and walks a hunchily. And in the evening his wife takes the copies that are left and papers the kitchen cupboard with them, and the broken heart—Seattle Post Intelligencer. HEART IS BIG LIFTER It Pulls Daily Equal to 120 Tons to Height of Foot. Dvery adult being has within him a structural wonder that has a lifting power almost incredible when one considers its size. It is the heart, Weighing sediment more than eleven ounces, every day it lifts the equivalent of one hundred and twenty tons to a height of one foot. That is, of course, the power exerted by the normal heart every twenty four hours has a lifting strength equal to this weight. Every time your heart beats six ounces of blood are sent forth into the veins or conduits of the human system. Put your finger to your pulse. If your heart is normal, the beat is about seventy times each minute and the amount of blood forced out with every beat or stroke of this wonderful little engine is six ounces. Get pencil and paper and you will find that this little bundle of muscles beats 100,800 times every twenty four hours or 20,000 times a year. Three score and ten years is the allotted term of life. The man who lives to be seventy has a heart that has beat 2,500,000,000 times. A pint's a pound the world around, the old saying goes. Taking it as a basis, and reckoning on the fact that six ounces of blood are forced into the arteries seventy times a minute, this counting thirty-two ounces to the quart would mean three and one-eighth gallons of blood forced out every minute or 187 1.2 gallons of blood every hour. Get your pencil again and you will find this means that the heart forces out 4,500 gallons of blood every day, or 1,642,500 gallons every year. In seventy years ~ length of a normal life, the heart would have forced 114,757,500 gallons of blood through your entire body by way of the arteries.—Tit Bits. RECORDS PHONE CALLS Latest Device Shows Telephone Rings When Man's Away. Having occasion to leave my studio much of the time and my telephone calls being so few I decided to make sort of a device to record the calls, as I could almost tell who it was that called if knew that a call was made and at what time. A device was the outcome of my efforts. An old clockwork is attached to the top of the telephone bell case so that a roller, attached to the hour hand spindle, projects over the side and its edge is in line with the space between one of the bells and the clapper. A strip of carbon paper is placed on one side or the other of the strip of recording paper so it will be struck with the clapper or bell edge. The recording paper is graduated so that the time the call was made is also recorded. When I go out a strip of the recording paper is placed in the device, and if anyone calls, the information recorded is not only convenient but sometimes valuable.—Popular Mechanics.
