S. Scarborough of Wilberforce, O., has resigned his $3,000 a year position Hon. Charles W. Anderson in the farm bureau of the department of agriculture here, leaving on the 15th. it is reported. President Coolidge has sent to the Senate the nominations of the Hon. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Charles W. Anderson of N. Y. City as collector of internal revenue of the third district of New York, and that of the Hon. Walter H. Cohen of New Orleans as comptroller of cus- Dr. Emmett J. Scott toms for that city. These are appointments originally made by President Harding. Both since the Congress adjourned, last spring, and Cohen's before also, the Republican Senate refusing to confirm his appointment. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has filed suit in the district courts for $20,000 damages against the Chesspeake and Cohenac Telephone Co. on account of damages sustained when a truck of the company ran into her car while she was driving through Maryland. Mrs. Terrell received a permanent injury to her knee. permanent injury to her knee. A residential segregation fight is going on in the district courts in which Emmett J. Scott, sec.treas. of Howard University, is the central figure. Mr. Scott bought and moved into what is claimed to be "a prohibited district." Dr. Scott is being sued for dispossession and damages because he is an Afro-American and dared to move into a block, a portion of which is occupied by whites. This, too, in the nation's capital. Our American Academy will hold its 27th annual meeting in this city, Dec. 27 and 28, at the Cleveland Community center. This organization compares its efforts with canon writers, authors, and scholars. Among its members is Prof. Alain LeRoy Locke of Howard University, who was present at Luxor, Egypte, during the recent re-opening of the tomb of King Tutankhamen. He will report on his observations. DIED WITH HIS BOOTS ON! Pullen a Real Man and a Martyr—Killed a Half Dozen and Wounded as Many More. Drew, Miss — Joe Pullen, tenant farmer, died, like a martyr, at 2 a.m., Saturday morning, from the effects of a score of machine-gun bullets after he had battled several hundred white men "to a standstill" for seven hours, killing three andounding nine others, three of these latter men possibly one hundred and ended in a 1 a.m. after they had brought up a machine-gun from Clarksdale, Miss, poured a withering fire in a drainage ditch where Pullen had entrenched himself to fight until death, and four of them braved his unnerring fire to storm the Afro-American's position. Pullen was brought here, where he lay in the main street until he died. A monument ought to be erected by our people of the country to the memory of this brave MAN! The trouble with the poor boy was his week Friday, when Pullen shot and killed W. T. Sanders, age 45, on whose farm he lived, after an argument over a debt Pullen owed. Sanders who died instantly with a bullet through his heart, abused Pullen beyond his endurance. AN ECHO FROM 1917 SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Rising Tide Of Color!

"Those who set up the doctrine of the superiority of northwest Europe; over south and east Europe are helping to divide Europe and are sowing seeds of future wars. Nothing is more dangerous than a self-delusion which under a moral pretense justifies immoral conduct." Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver declared in his sermon, last Sunday morning, at the Temple. "The world is in a state of shock and is readily thrown into panic even by fantastic reports," Rabbi Silver declared. "The most colossal scare of the western world today is the rising side of color which threatens to induce the white race. The fear is not groundless. During the war Europe came very near utter collapse. The white people were destroying themselves and impoverishing their man power and resources. "The colored races behold the internal dissensions among the white peoples, and they grew restive under their subjection. There came to life a new and victorious Turkey, an expanding Japan, a revolutionary Egypt and India, and a pan Islamic movement for the union and progress of all Mohammedan peoples. "If Europe continues imperialistic rivalries which lead to war, competitive armaments which lead to revolution, and diplomatic intrigues which lead to chaos, it may very well come to pass that mastery will pass from the enfeebled hands of the white races of Europe to less exhausted and less crystal peoples of the east. Asla has invaded Europe at least four times since the fall of Rome. It may do so again. The way to avoid such a contingency is not through intensified efforts to the colonized subjection.

This is exclusive of over $400,000,000 voted by states as bonuses, and other forms of state aid. No other government in the world has been so generous in the treatment of its soldiers. --- The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a card bearing a good portrait of the mayor and the following: "The city's last mayor extends to you the season's greetings and wishes you a most happy and prosperous New Year.

He ought to have gotten more than 2900 votes in ward 11 alone. DISFRANCHISEMENT IN THE "SOLID SOUTH" Alabama recently enacted a law which prohibits any American citizen eligible for the Presidency from seeking support in Alabama for presidential nomination unless he be a citizen of that state. Alabama's action is the logical outgrowth of the system of disfranchisement of American citizens which prevails in every state of the Democratic "Solid South," in violation of the United States Constitution and in defiance of the principles of representative government. This constitutes the most malignant cancer upon the American body politic today. It began shortly after the southern states were re-admitted into the Union, upon their promise to observe and obey the Constitution, by their disfranchising the Negro in defiance of the 14th and 15th amendments. This action was denounced by the Republican party. The right of the emancipated Negro to the ballot was upheld by the Republican party. The South then proceeded to disfranchise white Republicans in southern states. Now the malignant forces which it turned loose threaten to turn upon the Democratic party itself. Having used the weapon of disfranchisement so successfully upon southern Republicans, both black and white, Alabama Democrats now employ it to bulldozen northern democratic aspirants for the presidential nomination. Were the evils of this southern practice of disfranchisement confined to the southern states and visited only upon the heads of the Democratic party, the rest of the country would not be necessarily concerned, but such is not the case. The South claims and obtains representation in the United States House of Representatives on the basis of the Negro and white Republican population. But having used these for the basis of obtaining seats in the House of Representatives, southern Democracy proceeds to refuse its Negro and its white Republican citizens the right to go to the polls and vote for representatives in Congress. Eighty members of the House of Representatives from the "Solid South" are holding their seats because by "shot-gun" policy and by dishonest and fraudulent elections the exercise of citizenship of a majority of their communities is prohibited. It is a plain statement of a disreputable fact that there has not been an honest, free election in the solid Democratic South for a quarter of a century. But the evil extends higher and further. A state's vote in the electoral college is based upon its representation in both branches of Congress. The "Solid South" casts 114 electoral votes in every presidential election. Everybody knows that these votes are sure to be cast for the Democratic nominee regardless of who he is or for what he stands. Everybody knows this is true because honest elections and the free exercise of the franchise is impossible in any of the "Solid South" states. The Republican party starts into every presidential campaign with a handicap of 114 votes to overcome before it can "begin even" with the Democratic party in a contest for the presidency. There are certain states in the North which battlegrounds every presidential campaign. If the Republican, after an intensive fight, succeed in carrying New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska and West Virginia they have succeeded merely in carrying enough states to balance the 114 electoral votes from the "Solid South" and they must then go out and beat the Democratic party in the remaining northern states. Or, to put it another way: Democratic disfranchisement of Republican voters gives to the "Solid South" in every presidential election, without any contest whatever, a sufficient number of electoral votes to wipe out the electoral votes of the Republican states of Pennsylvania, Masaschusetts, Maine, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. The Democratic "Solid South" attempts to justify its delinence of the Constitution, its disfranchisement of American citizens, its undermining of representative government, its pollution of elections, upon the ground that its action is necessary in order to have a "white man's government." If that be true then it should be limited in its representation in the House of Representatives and in the electoral college to the number of white men in the South who govern. That would give the South a "white man's government" in exact proportion to the "white man's government" in the rest of the rest of the country. Millions for Education Raleigh, N. C.—During the year 1923, $3,800,000 are being spent in this state on Afro-American education alone, a sum which is larger than the sum spent for the state's entire system of public schools in the year 1900. In the past four years $969,000 has been spent for new buildings alone at three of our state normal schools, and the General Education Board gave $125,000 to the department of these buildings. A million and a half dollars annually are now being spent in the form of new public-school buildings for our people. This includes the Julius Rosenwald sums to stimulate the building of good rural schools. Christmas Pardon Letter Shower!

EATING 'EM ALIVE HUNGRY "STUNT" "BOSCO, THE WILD BOY" ALWAYS HALF STARVED, HE SAYS Boss Hands Him Fresh Chicken Every Half Hour, But Heads All That "Bosco" Gets Leo Kohn, a 19-year-old professional "Bosco," is convinced that being an apprentice wild man is no life. So now he is looking for a regular job with regular pay, which through the aid of a kindly Chicago judge and others he hopes to get. "I knew what wild men looked like, so I let my hair grow long." Kohn explained to Judge Scully. "Then I cut it all off except a tassel in the middle of my head. This was about eight weeks ago. Then I went over on South Halsted street and struck Jim McGrath for a job as 'wild man' in his side show. When Jim saw my make-up, your honor, why he just couldn't hire me quick enough. "Being a more apprentice wild man, Jim didn't agree to give me any money; just a place to sleep and some eats, and now and then a dime or so to buy 'makin's. He told me, though, that as I got wilder I could get more money. So all summer I bit the heads off live chickens, ate raw meat and growled and was just generally wild. "Then the side show closed for the season and I was up against it. I tried to touch two fellows on Madison street for the price of a 'thousand plate,' and just had the luck to draw a pair of coppers. So here I am." It developed during the hearing that when young Kohn approached McGrath of Haisted Street the showman was about to make a tour of West Madison street looking for a "wild man." A few rehearsals, and the boy "Bosco" was put on exhibition at the Haworthone county fair. Leo's duties were simple. He was expected to roar furiously and rattle heavy chains the while his employer was "ballyhooing" at the entrance. The ballyhoo act consists of addressing the crowd outside the tent or pit, and when the attraction is a "Bosco" of informing his open-mouthed hearers that "the eats 'em alive! Positively alive, good people. Pass in and see him devour the hissing, squirming, fighting reptiles! Bosco! Eats snakes like some people eat spaghetti! The only genuine wild man on exhibition in this country. Captured in a South American jungle and brought here under bond to the Brazilian government. Hark! Hear his chains a-rattini! Listen! He's just eating a chicken—alive, neighbors, alive! Hear that squawk! Alive! Ten cents!—eats 'em alive!—Bosco, the wild man—a dime—Bosco! When the audience came a chicken was thrown to Leo, who would tear out its feathers and bite off its head. But the chickens were not for Leo, as the boss was careful to reclaim them befrore starting another bally-hoo. What the boss did with them Leo couldn't tell, but he knew what he would have done with them after his day's work, as fried chicken beats cold beans, as he put it, any day in the week. "How did you like your job?" asked the court. "It wasn't bad," answered the tame Bosco. "I always made a hit, but McGrath didn't give me much to eat." "How much were you paid for your "How much were you paid for your act, Leo?" "I didn't get any pay. Two or three times McGrath slipped me a dime. He wasn't such a bad feller." Leo confessed, however, that he would just as soon be tame again, and an effort is being made to find a job for him. This youth's story well illustrates the sorrowful old adage, "How have the mighty fallen." In the days when Barnum was exhibiting his collection of living and mummified wonders from strange lands an experienced and industrious wild man commanded a good salary. The "Bosco" of that period traveled in style, put up at good hotels, sometimes had an assistant to keep his wig combed and his collection of bones polished. But the present day article—bah! Who would be a Bosco? Let's hope the boy Leo is the last of the breed. Their managers should be locked in a cell with a real one. INVENTS SHOE MACHINE American by Device Greatly In creases Output of Product To Gordon McKay, an American, the world owes much credit for the invention of a machine to make shoes thereby greatly increasing the output and materially decreasing the expense of their production. In a great measure the responsibility for this machine is due to the energy of Lyman H. Blake who conceived the idea of a machine to sew the uppers of shoes to the soles, but it was McKay who financed and improved the machine to all practical purposes, and it became known as the McKay sewing machine. The first of the McKay manchines were introduced into the factory of William Porter & Sons, Lynn, Mass., in 1861 and were run by foot power. This invention, probably more than any other, is responsible for revolutionizing the manufacture of shoes. Mr. Blake, in 1858 placed on exhibition his shoe sewing machine with a stationary horn attached. Mr. McKay saw that with a few improvements it could be used to splendid advantage, and in 1859 he purchased it. While Blake's machine operated well on parts of the work it failed in stitching the heels and toes. SCIENTISTS STUDY WAVES At Pacific Station Look Into Wander ing Currents. In addition to completing wireless communication across the Pacific ocean, the new and powerful wireless plant near Yokohama, Japan, will increase the opportunities for the study of the natural electrical disturbances which frequently interrupt wireless service between less powerful stations. Scientists at the stations on the Pacific near San Francisco, in Hawaii and near Yokohama will make a study of the wandering electrical currents as they occur on the Pacific ocean. The broad study of this subject is being carried on by Dr. W. Eccles, who is at the head of a committee of scientists appointed by the British association to carry on the work. Every Marconi operator is furnished forms on which he records at given hours to quality, strength and frequency of the natural electrical waves, together with information about the state of the barometer, the temperature and the longitude and latitude. These observations may cover a period of years before the scientists of the British association venture to reach any conclusion regarding the aerial electricity. The subject is now a mystery which has not been in' the slightest degree penetrated. The layman who is occasionally puzzled when he reads that wireless communication has been interrupted by "static conditions" or "aerial disturbances" is no more ignorant about the real cause of the trouble than the most eminent scientists alive. FLUSHES STREET CLEAN Gasoline Truck Has Sprinkling Device With Success. With the idea of eliminating all but a small percentage of the handwork ordinarily required in street cleaning with a gasoline truck equipped with flushing and sprinkling apparatus has been developed and is now being introduced in some of the principal cities. The apparatus is made in two sizes, one being mounted on a six and one-half ton truck and the other on a five ton truck. The tank for the larger truck has a capacity of 1,500 gallons and is square in section except for a rounded top, while the pump is capable of discharging the water through the flushes at the rate of from 400 to 500 gallons a minute. The smaller truck is equipped with a tank having a capacity of 1,000 gallons, with a pump capable of discharging the water at the rate of from 250 to 350 gallons a minute. In general arrangement and operation the two are practically the same.—Popular Mechanics. PERISCOPES MADE IN DOZEN STYLES PERISCOPES MADE IN DOZEN STYLES 'EYES' FOR UNDERWATER BOAT CONSTRUCTED ON MANY PRINCIPLES Submarine Outlooks Can View Horizon in All Directions In building your submarine you may now have your choice of periscope. Ernest Coustet describes no less than twelve types, and presumably this catalog by no means exhausts the possibilities. Simple as the instrument may seem, says Mr. Coustet, its construction has proved a complicated problem for the opticians. The simplest form is a vertical steel tube about twenty feet long, with a reflecting prism at the top and the lenses of a telescope at the bottom. It is, in fact a simple telescope whose line of sight "turns a corner" from horizontal to vertical as it passes through the prism. This instrument takes in 45 degrees of the horizontal or one-eighth the total field, at one view. By turning the tube on its axis, the rest comes into sight excessively. Says Mr. Coustet, in substance: "This periscope gives very clear images, but as it can be used only with one eye at a time it does not allow of distinguishing the different planes of vision very well, and tires the observer's eye very quickly. Bincular periscope have been attempted, but luminosity is lost by gaining the advantage of stereopic vision. "The socalled combination periscope allows of vision with both eyes, though it is not stereoscopic. A real image is thrown on a ground glass screen, much like that of a photograph camera; it may be looked at with the two eyes, but no impression of depth and space is given. The screen avoids excessive fatigue, but it can be used only in bright light. The size of the image is often insufficient to bring out detail. To obtain greater enlargement without diminishing clearness too much, magnifying lenses are sometimes added. "The preceding periscope do not enable a commander to take a rapid survey of the horizon; it takes five to ten seconds to make a complete circle. Again, the observer must himself move around with the eyepiece. If the image is to remain upright without moving the eyepiece, it is necessary to use a compensatory prism whose movement makes up for that of the eyepiece. "This is the principle of the panoramic periscope whose tube is fixed and bears at its summit a glass bulb containing a reflecting prism mounted on a base that may be turned with a handle.

PORO HAIR AND TOILET PRODUCTS of the horizon, it suffices to turn the crank, without its being necessary for either observer or eyepiece to change place. "Nevertheless, however rapid the operation, it does not enable the observer to see the whole horizon at once. This is realized in the periscope with ring shaped eyepiece. At the top of the crank is a ring-shaped lens which refracts toward the base of the tube rays that reach it from all sides. A panoramic image is thus obtained that includes all surrounding objects, though they appear smaller and more distinct than with the naked eye. The observer also sees in the center of the panoramic image, a portion of the field on a larger scale." SEND HER A NOTE WITH CANDY Letters Now Permissible With Parcel Post Packages. Hereafter "sweets to the sweet" can go by parcel post with a no less accharine billet-doux attached and at a far less charge than the government formerly fixed for such shipments. It isn't only for candies with love notes attached that Uncle Sam has made this beneficent ruling, however. Any kind of article no matter how prosiac, provided it is permissible parcel post matter, can be shipped with a letter attached and not be liable for prohibitive mail costs formerly made. By a ruling of the Postoffice Department it is now allowable to attach a letter to a parcel post package and pay for the former as first class mail, while the package is paid for as fourth class. Rules in Vogue formerly called for the payment of first class mail charges on packages to which letters were attached. Letters and parcels mailed together in the matter now permissible, reach addresses at the same time. This is often desirable and convenient, and serves to prevent misunderstanding and avoids confusion, and facilitates the transaction of business. CONCRETE TESTS PILING Blocks Weighing 240 Tons Tax Strength of Ninety-Foot Piles. In the construction of 1,000-ti ft, piers in New York harbor for the accommodation of the large modern ocean liners, it was necessary to use piles ninety feet in length driven to a footing in soft mud. To determine the bearing power of the piles, a novel method of testing was adopted. The tops of the piles were covered with a platform, and on this platform 240 tons of concrete blocks were loaded. The first two tests resulted in a failure in the piling, which necessitated changes in construction, but the last test, in which the concrete blocks were left in place for six months, proved that the bearing power of the piling was sufficient. The concrete blocks has been made for a river wall around Manhattan island and will be used for that purpose after all tests are completed. Popular Mechanics.

Says Starvation is a Pleasant Death College Professor Starts New Dlcus alon.—"You Don't Care and You Don't Feel." How does it feel to starve? Dr. A. J. Carlson, of the physiological department of the University of Chicago, is supposed to be an expert on starvation. He has done some interesting research work and recently went without food for five days without mating it at all. He has pronounced death by starvation a pleasant one. Dr. Carlson's statements have caused much discussion in medical circles. Many well informed men agree with him to the extent that they believe death by starvation is accompanied by little pain after the first pange of hunger. An expert on starvation is W. D. Boyce, the publisher and explorer. He has seen famine in India and Africa and watched men die from starvation in China and South America. He met a sailing ship that came in after the crew had gone twenty-seven days without food. "Half of them were dead," said he. "The ones that were alive were all asleep and their legs were swelled up so we had to cut their clothes off with knives. They hadn't had food nor water. The food was bad, but going without water was worse. The rule is you can go three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food. "Two days was the most I ever tried at starving. The pangs one first—that's just hunger. When you starve your mental faculties and the physical go at the same time, so you don't care and you don't feel. There isn't much pain. I've seen whole villages in India and China and Africa where the folks weren't getting enough food—not exactly starving but just dying because they didn't get enough food. It was more like sleeping sickness than anything else." A reporter, accosted on the street by a man who said he was starving, took the wayfarer to a lunch room and provided him with a good meal. The reporter described the experience as follows: "The dreamy look disappeared from the man's eyes. Now he looked wolfish. The interview was held up ten minutes. By that time the cakes and coffee had vanished. "How it feels to starve, huh?" he said, jamming a toothpick in his mouth and leaning back. "Well, it feels like rats knawing at your stomach—at first. Then you just kinda cave in and want to sleep. You get to feeling dope like and you don't care about nothin'. But you gotta hunch if you pass you're gonna pass for keeps. It's a good deal freezin—first it hurts and then it eases off and you feel sleepy. That's the way I felt when I bumped into you. Thanks for the eats." TO DO AN "IMPOSSIBLE" TRICK Drink a Covered Glass of Water With out Uncovering It This is a simple trick which can be performed with little apparatus. You announce that you can place a glass of water upon the table, cover it with a hat and then drink the water without removing the hat. This sounds like an impossible trick, and everyone is eager to see it performed. It is done this way. You stand a glass of water on an ordinary table, borrow a hat and place it over the glass. While doing this you talk and emphasize the wonder of the trick and say that on no account must anyone touch the hat. Then you go under the table and make pretense of drinking the water through the table. Everyone is, of course, skeptical, and, after coming from under the table you ask one of the audience to remove the hat to see if the water has been drunk or not. As soon as this is done, you seize the glass and drink the water and then announce to your surprised audience that you have done what you promised to do—namely, to drink the water without removing the hat, someone else having removed the hat for you. LIGHTEST WOOD THAT GROWS Cork Tree, Which Is Found In South eastern Missouri. The lightest wood that grows is that from a tree indigenous to southeastern Missouri. It is known there as the cork tree, but its wood is lighter than cork. The tree grows to a height of fifteen feet, and a diameter of six inches. The roots are lighter than the wood. This Missouri corkwood has no particular commercial value. The fishermen use it to make floats for their nets. The heaviest known wood is also a native of the United States, the black ironwood of Florida. Earth Not So Old; 100,000,000 Years That the earth is about 100,000,000 years old is the assertion of George F. Becker, of the United States Geological Survey. He bases his opinion on the result of investigations into the formation of the earth's surface. Becker delivered an address on the subject at the meeting of the Geological Society of America in Philadelphia, Pa. James H. McGregor of Columbia University reported at the meeting that the "missing link" had been discovered. It was a skull found on the Island of Java, showing all the characteristics between man and ape. It's to begin at the top of the ladder and go down—in case of fire. The century plant is a case of age before beauty. MENTAL EQUALS! Are the Northern Negro and Southern White. A Most Illuminating And Interesting Comparison Based On Facts And Figures Gathered By Government Army Officials And Others. (The Gazette has been granted special permission by Editor Alexander Marky of Pearson's Magazine, published at 301 Conkey Ave., Hammond, Ind., to republish the following exceptionally interesting copyrighted article, written by Herbert B. Alexander, which appeared in Pearson's for November, this year.—Editor.) THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1923 white population native born of native parentage (unaffected by the recent immigrations from South and Central Europe), rank lower in average intelligence per white than the mass of Negroes in any genuinely northern state? Why, furthermore, should Mississippi, with 96.3 per cent of her whites native born of native parentage, Arkansas with 95.9 per cent and Kentucky with 91.9 per cent all show even less ability than North Carolina in answering the army intelligence tests? It is not difficult to ascertain why the northern Negro should receive, so much better, so many more troops than his southern brother. Selective education has played its part. The more imaginative, the more enterprising Negro has heeded the call of opportunity in the North. The environment of the northern Negro, moreover, is immeasurable more favorable, for the unfoldment of mental capacities than the rural surroundings of the southern black. In the North the Colored man partakes of the splendid schools, libraries, theaters, the multiple channels of communication of ideas, which characterize urban life. In the South he is confronted with the backward rural communities with the wretched facilities for education and culture. However we may explain it, the fact stands forth plainly. The unselected representatives of the one million Negroes of the North were able to demonstrate to the world through the army intelligence tests of 1918 that they were capable of competing on a scale of intellectual equality with the twelve or fifteen millions of southern whites. We can only wonder of the reactions which might result were the remaining nine millions of American Negroes to be given the same conditions as their brethren in the North were the one million in the North afforded even greater opportunities for intellectual unfoldment than those which they now enjoy to only a limited degree. --- IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after the four years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. Negroes are not worthy of certain rights they are by nature without self-sacrifice, have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law and it has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in Ohio's statutes) under the heading MOBS. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Perman suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "for the purpose of this chapter." An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may be convicted of a crime not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share an estate, widow and marriage if not that of a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by assault in this chapter. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire into the case of the next succeeding tax law for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or dead. For example, of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such individual dispense such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to the proprietor, barber-shop, public conveyance or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered for the county where such indiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is constitutional and good law by the 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 watch 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. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a porter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for a lawsuit. THE LAW OF OHIOS IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.

Scarborough of Wilberforce, O., has resigned his $3,000 a year position Hon. Charles W. Anderson in the farm bureau of the department of agriculture here, leaving on the 15th, it is reported. On the 16th night it went to the Senate the nominations of the Hon Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Charles W. Anderson of N. Y. City as collector of internal revenue of the third district of New York, and as collector of internal revenue of New Orleans as comptroller of cus Dr. Emmett J. Scott toms for that city. These are appointments originally made by President Harding. Both since the Congress adjourned, last spring, and Cohen's before also, the Republican Senate refusing to confirm his appointment. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell has filed suit in the district courts for $20,000 damages against the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co., on account of damages sustained when a truck of the company ran into her car, while she was driving through Maryland, Mrs. Terrell received permanent injury to her knee. A residential segregation fight is going on in the district courts in which Emmett J. Scott, sec.treas. of Howard University, is the central figure. Mr. Scott bought and moved into what is claimed to be "a prohibited district." Dr. Scott is being sued for dispossession and damages because he is an Afro-American and dared to move into a block, a portion of which is occupied by whites. This too, in the nation's capital. DIED WITH HIS BOOTS ON! Pullen a Real Man and a Martyr- Killed a Half Dozen and Wound- ed as Many More. Drew. Miss — Joe Pullen, tenant farmer, died, like a martyr, at 2 a.m., Saturday morning, from the effects of a score of machine-gun bullets after he had battled several hundred white men “to a standstill” for seven hours, killing three and wounding nine others, three of these latter possibly fatally. The fight ended at 1 a.m. m. after they had brought up a machine-gun from贮藏 Mast. Mast. in a fire in a drainage ditch where Pullen had entrenched himself to fight until death, and four of them braved his unnering fire to storm the Afro-American's position. Pullen was brought here, where he lay in the main street until he died. A monument ought to be erected by our people of the country to the memory of this brave MAN! The trouble started shortly after noon, last week after the bullets had shot and killed W. T. Sanders, are 45, on whose farm he lived, after an argument over a debt Pullen owed. Sanders who died instantly with a bullet through his heart, abused Pullen beyond his endurance. AN ECHO FROM 1917 SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Rising Tide Of Color!

"Those who set up the doctrine of the superiority of northwest Europe over south and east Europe are helping to divide Europe and are sowing seeds of future wars. Nothing is more dangerous than a self-delusion which under a moral pretense justifies immoral conduct." Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver declared in his sermon, last Sunday morning, at the Temple. "The world is in a state of shock and is readily thrown into panic even by fantastic reports," Rabbi Silver declared. "The most colossal scare of the western world today is the rising tide of color which threatens to inundate the white race. The fear is not groundless. During the war Europe is very ear ulcer collapse. The white people were desiring themselves and impoverishing their man power and resources. "The colored races behold the internal dissensions among the white peoples, and they grew restive under their subjection. There came of life a new and victorious Turkey, an expanding Japan, a revolutionary Egypt and India, and a pan Islamic movement for the union and progress of all Mohammedan peoples. If Europe continues imperialistic rivalries which will cause collapse in which lead to revolution, and diplomatic intrigues which lead to chaos, it may well come to pass that mastery will pass from the enfeebled hands off the white races of Europe to less exhausted and less crystal peoples of the east.

The exploitation of backward races is the most fruitful source of European wars. The subject peoples of the earth will not forever remain subject to feed the pretensions to arbitrary excellencies of the so-called Nordics. "The colored races may be helped to civilization and independence and prosperity. They then will benefit themselves and the white races. Asia never need invade Europe or America. No land or continent is so vast as Europe, and the methods of agriculture and industrialization through machinery will not adequately support its population. "Race chauvinism ruined Germany. It will destroy Anglo-Saxon peoples. The way of salvation is not through exploitation of foreign people but through domestic reconstruction. The white races must forge competitive armament, interracial hickering and war. They must defend and spend less. Luxury destroyed Rome. It will destroy America. "It may be said, in passing, that as far as civilization is concerned, up to 1500 A. D. the northwestern European peoples were negligible. Nearly all they have today of art, philosophy, religion and science of government they inherited from the Mediterranean countries and from Judea. And it is at least a debatable question whether Italy today as a nation as John as England's, and Russia as a literature as noble as Germany's. "It should also be remembered that the discovery and exploitation of the new world, largely through the colonial enterprise of Mediterranean people, gave the north of Europe economic supremacy—and thereby also preposterous notions of 'inborn greatness.'"

Merry Christmas to all of our readers. Government expenditures to date on veterans of the world war total $2,122,000,000. ‘This is exclusive of over $40,000,000 voted by states as bonuses, and other forms of state aid. No other government in the world has been so generous in the tréitment of its soldiers, —ili— ‘The editor of The Gazette ac- Knowledges the receipt of a card bearing a good portrait of the may- or and the ‘following: “The city’s last maycr extends to you the sea- son's greetings and wishes you a most happy and prosperous New Year. (Signed) Fred Kohler, may- or, Cleveland, Ohio.” Thanks, Mr. Mayor, for the remembrance, ates U. 8. Senator Wm. ©. Bruce of Maryland has voluntarily taken up the work of urging governors of states and members of state Legis- latures to pass effective anti-lynch- ing or mob violence laws and laws for the protection of Afro-Americans in the exercise of their constitu- tional rights. So writes Prof. Jesse ‘Lawson of Washington, D. ©. to. the ‘editor of The Gazette. Good! Hon. John E. Milholland’s letter to the Hon. John T. Adams, chair- man of the Republican National committee, on the reftuction of southern representation in national conventions, had much, very much to do with the recent action of the committee in restoring that section's representation. It is positively the dest discussion of the “Negro vote” that has been published in many years and our people are greatly indebted to that splendid gentleman and long-time friend of the race for it. We hope to be able to republish it im an early issue of The Gazette. tl President Wm. R. Green, of the local branch of the N. A. A. C, P., has furnished The Gazette with = copy of the letters he sent The Press and Chiet Graul, and the lat- ter’s reply to him anent The Press’ misleading publication, referred to several times in recent issues of ‘The Gazette. Also his letter to The Press requesting a correction. They show that President Green was ac- tive in the matter, too, and that he and the organization should have credit for the same, as well as Officers Jenkins and Jones for the ads alindie, Nothwithstanding the fact that It took 48 of Councilman Finkle’s votes to give Councilman Tom Fleming a quota and “election,” last month, the latter announced a “eelebration” for Monday evening ‘at the Western Reserve Club, as result of hi “victory.” NERVE! ‘Tom's small vote, about 2,900, im all of the third DISTRICT, made ‘ap of a number of wards, shows how the people felt toward his cand!- dacy. He ought to have gotten more than 2000 votes in ward 11 alone. etl DISPRANCHISEMENT IN THD “SOLID SOUTR” Alabama recently enacted law which prohibits any American citi- zen eligible for the Presidency trom seeking support in Alabama for presidential nomination unless he be fa cltizen of that state, Alabama's ‘action is the logical outgrowth of the system of disfranchisoment of American citizens which prevails in ‘very state of the Democratic “Solid South,” in violation of tho United States Constitution and in defiance of the principles of representative Soverament. This constitutes the most malignant cancer upon the American body politic today. It be- gan shortly after the southern states were re-admitted into the Union, up- on their promise to observe and obey the American Constitution, by their disfranchising the Negro in defiance of the 14th and 15th amendments. ‘This action was denounced by the Republican party. The right of the emancipated Negro to the ballot was upheld by the Republican party. The South then proceeded to disfranchise white Republicans in southern states. Now the malignant forces which it turned loose threaten to turn upon the Democratic party itself. Having used the weapon of disfranchisement 0 successfully upon southern Re- publicans, both black and white, Alabama Democrats now employ it to buldgeon northern Democratic as- pirants for the presidential nomina- tion. Were the evils of this south- ern practice of distranchisement confined to the southern states and visited only upon the heads of the Democratic party, the rest of the country would not be necessarily concerned, but such is not the case. ‘The South claims and obtains repre- sentation in the United States House of Representatives on the basis of its Negro and white Republican pop- ulation, But having used these for ‘the basis of obtaining seats in the House of Representatives, southern Democracy proceeds to refuse its Negro and its white Republican citt- zens the right to go to the polls and vote for representatives in Con- gress. Eighty members of the House ot Representatives from the “Solid South” are holding their seats be- cause by “shot-gun” policy and by dishonest and fraudulent elections the exercise of citizenship of a ma- Jority of their communities is pro- hibited. It is a plain statement of a disreputable fact that there has ‘not been an honest, free election in the solid Democratic South for a quarter of a century. But the evil extends higher and further. A state's vote in the electoral college is based upon its representation in both branches of Congress. The “Solid South” casts 114 electoral votes in ‘every presidential election. Every- body knows that these votes are sure to be cast for the Democratic nomi- neo regardless of who he is or for what he stands. Everybody knows thigds true because honest elections and the free exercise of the fran- chise 1s impossible in any of the “Solid South” states. The Republic- an party starts into every presiden- tial campaign with a handicap of 114 votes to overcome before it can “‘be- gin even" with the Democratic party ‘in a contest for the presidency. ‘There are certain states in the North which are battlegrounds every presi- dential campaign. If the Republic- ans, after an intensive fight, succeed in carrying New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Nebraska and West ‘Virginia they have succeeded merely ‘in carrying enough states to balance the 114 electoral votes from the “Solid South” and they must then go out and beat the Democratic party in the remaining northern states. Or, to put it another way: Democratic disfranchisement of Re- publican voters gives to the “Solid South” in every presidential elec- tion, without any contest whatever, & sufficient number of electoral ‘votes to wipe out the electoral votes of the Republican states of Penn- sylvania, Masachusetts, Maine, Ilt- nois, Iowa and Kansas, The Demo- cratic “‘Golld South” attempts to Justify its defiance of the Constitu- tion, its distranchisement of Amer- fean citizens, its. undermining of representative government, its pol- lution of elections, upon the ground that its action ts necessary in order to have a “white man’s govern ment.” If that be true then it should be limited in its representation in the House of Representatives and ta the electoral college to the aum- ber of white men in the South who govern. That would give the South a “white man’s government” in ex- act proportion to the “white man’s government” in the rest of the rest of the country. Millions for Education Raleigh, N. C.—During the year 1923, $3,803,000 are being spent in this ‘state on Afro-American aduca- tion alone, a sum which is larger than the sum spent for the state's entire system of public schools in the year 1900. In the past four years $969,000 has been spent for new buildings alone at three of our state normal schools, and the Gen- eral Education Board gave $125,000 more for the equipment of these buildings. A million and a half dollars annually are now being spent in this state for new public- school buildings for our people. ‘This includes tho Julius Rosenwald sums to stimdate the building of good rural schools.

So now he is looking for a regular job with regular pay, which through the aid of a kindly Chicago judge and oth- ers he hopes to get. “E knew what wild men looked like, 80 I let my hair grow long,” Kohn explained to Judge Scully. “Then 1 cut it all off except a tassel in the mid- ie of my head. ‘This was about eight weeks ago. Then I went over oa South Halsted street and struck Jim McGrath for a job as ‘wild man’ in his side show. When Jim saw my make-up, your honor, why he just couldn't hire me quick enough. “Being a mere apprentice wild man, Jim didn't agree to give me any money; just a place to sleep and some eats, and now and then a dime or so to buy ‘makin’s.” He told me, though, that as I got wilder I could get more money. So ali summer I bit the heads off live chickens, ate raw meat and growled and was just generally wild. “Then the side show closed for the season and I was up againts it right. I tried to touch two fellows on Madi- son street for the price of a ‘thousand on a plate, and just had the luck to @raw to a pair of coppers. So here Tam” It developed during the hearing that when young Kohn approached Mc- Grath of Halsted Street the showman was about to make a tour of West Madison street looking for a “wild man.” A few rehearsals, and the boy “Bosco” was put on exhibition at the Hawthorne county fair. Leo's duties were simple. He was expected to roar furiously and rattle heavy chains the while his employer was “ballyhooing” at the entrance. The ballyhoo act con- sists of addressing the crowd outside the tent or pit, and when the attrac: tion is a “Bosco” of informing his open-mouthed hearers that “he eats tem alive! Positively alive, good peo- ple! Pass in and see him devour the hissing, squirming, fighting reptiles! Bosco!” Eats snakes Ike some people eat spaghetti! ‘The only genuine wild man on exhibition in this country. Captured in a South American jungle and brought here under bond to the Brazilian government. Hark! Hear his chains a-rattlin'’! Listen! He's just eating chickon—alive, noigh- bors, alive!’ Hear that sqawk! Alive! Men cents!—eats ‘em alive!—Bosco, the wild man—a dime—Bosco!” ‘When the audience came a chicken was thrown to Leo, who would tear out its feathers and bite off its head. But the chickens were not for Leo, as the boss was careful to reclaim them befroe starting another bally- hoo. What the boss did with them Leo couldn't tell, but he knew what he would have done wtih them after hg day's work, as fried chicken beats cold beans, as he put it, any day in the week. “How did you like your job?" asked the court. “It wasn’t bad,” answered the tame Bosco. “I always made a hit, but Me- Grath didn’t give me much to eat.” “How much were you pafd for your act, Leo?” “I didn't get any pay. Two or three tlmes McGrath'slipped me a dime. He ‘wasn't such a bad feller.” Leo confessed, however, that he would just as soon be tame again, and an effort is being made to find a job for him, ‘This youth's story well illustrates the sorrowful old adage, “How have the mighty fallen.” In the days when Barnum was exhibiting his collection of living and mummified wonders from strange lands an experienced and in- dustrious wild man commanded a good salary. ‘The “Bosco” of that period traveled in style, put up at good ho- tels, sometimes had an assistant to keep his wig combed and his collec- tion of bones polished. But the pres- ent day article—bah! Who would be ‘8 Bosco! Let's hope the boy Leo ts the last of the breed. Their managers should be locked in a cell with a real one. INVENTS SHOE MACHINE American by Device Greatly Ine creases Output of Product To Gordon McKay, an American, the world owes much credit for the invention of a machine to make shoes thereby greatly increasing the out- put and materially decreasing the ex- pense of their production. In a great measure the responsibility for this machine is due to the energy of Ly- man H. Blake who conceived the idea of a machine to sew the uppers of shoes to the soles, but it was McKay who financed and improved the ma- chine to all practical purposes, and it became known as the McKay sewing machine. ‘The first of the McKay manchines were introduced into the factory of William Porter & Sons, Lynn, Mass., in 1861 and were run by foot power. This invention, probably more than any other, is responsible for revolu- tiontzing the manufacture of shoes. ‘Mr. Blake, in 1858 placed on exht- bition his shoo sewing machine with a stationary horn attached. Mr. Mc Kay saw that with a few tmprove- ments it could be used to splendid ad vantage, and in 1859 he purchased it. While Blake's machine operated well on parts of the work it failed in stitching the heels and toes. SCIENTISTS STUDY WAVES At Pacific Station Look Into Wander. Pee Cirenta. Jn addition to completing wireless communication across the Pacific ocean, the new and powerful wire- less plant near Yokohama, Japan, will inerease the opportunities for the study of the natural electrical disturbances which frequently inter Tupt wireless service between less Powerful stations. Scientists at the Stations on the Pacific near San Francisco, in Hawaii and near Yo- Kohama will make a study of the wandering electrical currents as they occur on the Pacific ovean. ‘The broad study of this subject is being carried on by Dr. W. Eccles, who is at the head of a committee of selentists appointed by the British association to carry on the work. Every Marconi operator is furnish ed forms on which he records at giv- en hours to quality, strength and fre quency of the uatural electrical waves, together with information about the state of the barometer, the temperature and the longitude and latitude, ‘These observations may cover a period of years before the scientists of the British association venture to reach any conclusion regarding the aerial electricity. The subject is now a mystery which has not been in! the slightest degree penetrated ‘The layman who is occasionally puz- vied when he reads that wireless com- munication has been interrupted by “static conditions” or “aerial disturl- ances" is no more ignorant about the real cause of the trouble than the most eminent scientists slive. FLUSHES STREET CLEAN Gasoline Truck Has Sprinkling De. Sito SHIN Seana. With the dea of eliminating all but a small percentage of the hand- work ordinarily required in street cleaning a gasoline truck equipped with flushing and sprinkling appara- tus has been developed and is now being introduced in some of the prin- cipal cities. The apparatus is made in two sizes, one being mounted on a six and onehalf ton truck and the other on a five ton truck. ‘The tank for the larger truck has a capacity of 1,500 gallons ané is square in section except for a round- ed top, while the pump {s capable of discharging the water through the flushers ut the rate of from 400 to 500 gallons a minute. The smaller truck {s equipped with a tank having a capacity of 1,000 gallons, with a pump capable of discharging the water at the rate of from 250 to 350 gallons a minute. In general ar- rangement and operation the two are practically the same—Popular Me- chanics. ‘EYES’ FOR UNDERWATER BOAT CONSTRUCTED ON MANY PRINCIPLES Submarine Outlooks Can View Ho: rizon in All Directions In building your submarine you may now have your choice of pert scopes. Ernest Coustet describes no Jess than twelve types, and presum- ably this catalog by no means ex- hausts the possibilities. Simple as the instrument may seem, says Mr. Coustet, its construction has proved a complicated problem for the optt: cians. The simplest form is a ver- tical steel tube abqut twenty feet long, with a reflecting prism at the top and the lenses of a telescope at the bottom. It is, in fact a simple telescope whose line of sight “turns & corner” from horizontal to vertical as it passes through the prism. This instrument takes in 45 degrees of the horizontal or one-eighth the total field, at one view. By turning the tube’ on its axis, the rest comes into sight excessively. Says Mr. Coustet, fa substance: “This periscope gives very clear images, but as it can be used only with one eye at a time it does not allow of distinguishing the different planes of vision very well, and tires tho observer's eye very quickly. Bin- ecular periscopes have been attempt- ed, but luminosity is lost by gaining the advantage of stereoptic vision. “The socalled combination peri- scope allows ot vision with both eyes, though it is not stereoscopic. A real image fs thrown on a ground glass screen, much like that of a photo- graph ‘camera; it may be Jooked at with the two eyes, but no impression of depth and space is given. The screen avoids excessive fatigue, but ft can be used only in bright light. ‘The size of the image is often insufti- clent to bring out detail. To obtain greater enlargement without dimin- ishing clearness too much, magnity- ing lenses are sometimes added. “The preceding periscopes do not enable s commander to take a rapid survey of the horizon; it takes five to ten seconds to make @ complete circle. Again, the observer must him- self move around with the eyepiece. If the image is to remain upright without moving the eyepiece, it is necessary to use & compensatory prism whose movement makes up for that of the eyepiece. “This is the principle ef the panc- ramic periscope whose tube is fixed and bears at its summit a glass bulb containing a reflecting prism mount: ed on a base that may be turned with a handle. There is a compensating prism that turns at half the speed and keeps the image straight. “To observe successfully all points t SS fj NP ee} 4 ps Solan...)

At the top of the tube is a ring-shaped Jons which refracts toward the base of the tube rays that reach it from all sides. A panoramic image is thus obtained that includes all surround- ing objects, though they appear small- er and more distinct than with the naked eye. The observer also sees in the center of the panoramic im- age, a portion of the field on a larg- or scale.” Phone, Randolph 53¢ STEAM HEAT SAUNDERS HOUSE LODGINGS AND DINING SERVICE (OME COOKING Mrs. Phone Rivers, Proprietor 2364 EAST 55TH $T.

Blocks Weighing 200 Tons Tax Strength of Ninety-Foot Piles. In the construction of 1,000-t. piers in New York harbor for the accom: modation of the large modern ocean liners, it was necessary to use piles ninety feet in length driven to a foot: ing in soft mud. To determine the bearing power of the piles, a novel method of testing was adopted. ‘The tops of the piles were covered with a platform, and on this platform 240 tons of concrete blocks were load- ed. The first two tests resulted in a failure in the piling, which necess! tated changes in construction, but the last test, in which the concrete blocks were left in place for six months, proved that the bearing pow- er of the piling was sufficient, ‘The concrete blocks has been made for a river wall around Manhattan {sland and will be used for that pur pose after all tests are completed. — Popular Mechanics, Clesa sweepers—a new broom and a straight Sush.

Says Starvation is a Pleasant Death College Professor Starts New Discussion..."You Don't Care and You Don't Feel." How does it feel to starve? Dr. A. J. Carlson, of the physiological department of the University of Chicago, is supposed to be an expert on starvation. He has done some interesting research work and recently went without food for five days without minding it at all. He has pronounced death by starvation a pleasant one. Dr. Carlson's statements have caused much discussion in medical circles. Many well informed men agree with him to the extent that they believe death by starvation is accompanied by little pain after the first pangs of hunger. An expert on *starvation* is W. D. Boyce, the publisher and explorer. He has seen famine in India and Africa and watched men die from starvation in China and South America. He met a sailing ship that came in after the crew had gone twenty-seven days without food. "Half of them were dead," said he. "The ones that were alive were all asleep and their legs were swelled up so we had to cut their clothes off with knives. They hadn't had food nor water. The food was bad, but going without water was worse. The rule is you can go three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food. "Two days was the most I ever tried at starving. The pangs one first—that's just hunger. When you starve your mental faculties and the physical go at the same time, so you don't care and you don't feel. There isn't much pain. I've seen whole villages in India and China and Africa where the folks weren't getting enough food—not exactly starving but just dying because they didn't get enough food. It was more like sleeping sickness than anything else." A reporter, accosted on the street by a man who said he was starving, took the wayfarer to a lunch room and provided him with a good meal. The reporter described the experience as follows: "The dreamy look disappeared from the man's eyes. Now he looked wolfish. The interview was held up ten minutes. By that time the cakes and coffee had vanished. "How it feels to starve, huh?" he said, jamming a toothpick in his mouth and leaning back. "Well, it feels like rats knowing at your stomach—at first. Then you just kinda cave in and want to sleep. You get to feeling dope like and you don't care about nothin'. But you gotta hunch if you pass you gonna pass for keeps. It's a good deal like freezin'—first it hurts and then it cases off and you feel sleepy. That's the way I felt when I bumped into you. Thanks for the eats." TO DO AN "IMPOSSIBLE" TRICK Drink a Covered Glass of Water With out Uncovering It This is a simple trick which can be performed with little apparatus. You announce that you can place a glass of water upon the table, cover it with a hat and then drink the water without removing the hat. This sounds like an impossible trick, and everyone is eager to it performed. It is done this way. You stand a glass of water on an ordinary table, borrow a hat and place it over the glass. While doing this you talk and emphasize the wonder of the trick and say that on no account must anyone touch the hat. Then you go under the table and make pretense of drinking the water through the table. Everyone is, of course, skeptical, and, after coming from under the table you ask one of the audience to remove the hat to see if the water has been drunk or not. As soon as this is done, you seize the glass and drink the water and then announce to your surprised audience that you have done what you promised to do—namely, to drink the water without removing the hat, someone else having removed the hat for you. LIGHTEST WOOD THAT GROWS Cork Tree, Which is Found in Southeastern Missouri. The lightest wood that grows is that from a tree indigenous to southeastern Missouri. It is known there as the cork tree, but its wood is lighter than cork. The tree grows to a height of fifteen feet, and a diameter of six inches. The roots are lighter than the wood. This Missouri cordwood has no particular commercial value. The fishermen use it to make floats for their nets. The heaviest known wood is also a native of the United States, the black ironwood of Florida. Earth Not So Old; 100,000,000 Years That the earth is about 100,000,000 years old is the assertion of George F. Becker, of the United States Geological Survey. He bases his opinion on the result of investigations into the formation of the earth's surface. Becker delivered an address on the subject at the meeting of the Geological Society of America in Philadelphia, Pa. James H. McGregor of Columbia University reported at the meeting that the "missing link" had been discovered. It was a skull found on the Island of Java, showing all the characteristics between man and ape. It's to begin at the top of the ladder and go down—in case of fire. The century plant is a case of age before beauty. MENTAL EQUALS! OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Are the Northern Negro and Southern White. A Most Illuminating And Interesting Comparison Based On Facts And Figures Gathered By Government Army Officials And Others. (The Gazette has been granted special permission by Editor Alexander Marky of Pearson's Magazine, published at 301 Conkey Ave., Hammond, Ind., to republish the following exceptionally interesting copyrighted article, written by Herbert B. Alexander, which appeared in Pearson's for November, this year—Editor.) THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1923 white population native born of native parentage (unaffected by the recent immigrations from South and Central Europe), rank lower in average intelligence per white than the mass of Negroes in any genuinely northern state? Why, furthermore, should Mississippi with 96.3 per cent of her whites native born of native parentage Arkansas with 95.9 per cent and Kentucky with 91.9 per cent all show even less ability than North in answering the army intelligence question? To ascertain why the northern Negro should receive, so much better grades in the army tests than his southern brother, Selective migration has played its part. The more imaginative, the more enterprising Negro has heeded the call of opportunity in the North. The environment of the northern Negro, moreover, is immeasurable more favorable, for the unfoldment of mental capacities than the rural surroundings of the southern black. In the North the Colored man partakes of the splendid schools, libraries, theaters, the multiple channels of communication of ideas, which characterizes his life. In the South he is held in "his mind" backward rural communities with the wretched facilities for education and culture. However we may explain it, the fact stands forth plainly. The unselected representatives of the one million Negroes of the North were able to demonstrate to the world through the army intelligence tests of 1918 that they were capable of competing on a scale of intellectual equality with the twelve or fifteen millions of southern whites. We can only wonder of the reactions which might result were the remaining nine millions of American Negroes to be given the same environmental conditions as the children in the North, or were the one million of the North to be afforded even greater opportunities for intellectual unfoldment than those which they now enjoy to only a limited degree. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending after over 1900 years of discrimination, and are winning civil rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "no success are not worthy of equal rights; they are not mature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) .Guradian. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Moore to secure three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed injurious for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or torches, or with ropes, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving and the child receiving. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by the mob within the state of such assault. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to indemnify the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 62286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 62287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person composing or seriously injured by robber from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such person in dispense such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging them. (93 v. 163 12.) has several times upheld the law and it has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted as a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is constitutional and good law by the 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. 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 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: Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our office in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant.
