SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "TAPS" SOUNDED BY "BUDDIES" ALL PITTSBURGH BOWS IN SORROW AT THE FUNERAL The Mitchell Brothers, World War Veterans, Laid to Rest With Exceptional Military and Civic Honors —Over 3,000 People Crowd the Church— Streets Lined as Cortege Passes Pittsburgh, Pa. — The 'Mitchell brothers, heroes of the Monongabella River disaster (see Page 4) have been held to rest. The two lads' funeral services took place from the 'Peoples' Tabernacle and thousands of citizens, regardless of color, creed or social status, tramped behind the cortege upon its last march. Tears filled the eyes of old and young murmurs of praise joined the band in its funeral dirge. Escorted by Win Carney Post, Veterans of Foreign Wards, the procession began at 69 Fullerton St., proceeded to Center Ave, thence to the Tabernacle. Here 3,000 saw the gray velvet caskets of the men borne by comrades in khaki placed before the rostrum. The entire formation was headed by eight expert horsemen of the police department on black mounts. Next came the V. F. W. Drum and Bugle Corps (white). Then the caisson wagon bearing the body of Edward Mitchell with a white and colored guard on each side of the casket. The body of Langston Mitchell, the younger brother, was transported in a hearse, followed by foot troops of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. Rev. Junius C. Austin began the service, impressively, saying: "THIS IS THE FINAL EVIDENCE THAT THE NEGRO SOLDIER IS NOT A COWARD". It seemed that the great audience heart-swelled and would burst at the telling declaration. For an hour, Rev. Austin preached, eulogized, comforted. In the front row of seats sat the bereaved family—the father, the widows, the small bright-eyed daughter of one of the fallen heroes, friends. Directly behind them sat the members of Carney Post. Conduences from the widow of the late J. H. Waters and Mrs. J. Honus Wagner were read. Tender letters of sympathy from intimate friends of the family were also read. Atty. R. A. Balderson (white) of the firm WONDERFUL MEETING Precedes a Complete Primary Victory—Many Social Courtesies Shown the Editor of "The Gazette"—Race Candidates Nominated, too—Curry Again! East Youngstown, O.—Monday evening, the night before our local primary, a great Republican rally, mass-meeting, was held here in Hamrock's hall, the largest in the city, and it was a "humdinger"—pucked to the doors, with enough people on the outside, unable to get in, for another good-sized meeting. The main attraction was the speaker of the occasion, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Mr. Smith has spoken here, several times, in the last three or four years and is very popular with all classes of our citizens. That is why Mayor T. Roy Gordan, and his leading supporters, had him here for Monday evening's tremendous outpouring of people, the largest in the history of the city. They drove to Cleveland, Monday, and brought the editor here in Officer Putko's seven-passenger Bulk car, entertained-him at a swell dinner at Anthony Julius and City Solicitor Joseph E. Julius. Those present were: Mayor Gordon who sat at Mr. Smith's immediate left, Auditor Julius, Solicitor Julius who sat at Mr. Smith's right. Mr. John Smith, Jones and Arthur Anglin (slate). candidate-at-large for councilman. The last two are members of the race. H. L. Parrish, another member of the race, was also on the Gordon slate, candidate for councilman from the first ward. The entire state was triumphantly nominated, Tuesday. Returning to the meeting: Clarence Williams' celebrated trio from N. Y. City, (and a dancer), all members of the race; a brass band, and a male vocalist (white), a good one, too, from one of the local theaters, furnished excellent music and entertainment, and simply delighted, the large audience. Many candidates for local offices made two minute talks. The mayor, a candidate for re-election; the brothers Julius, Mr. John Ross, candidate for city treasurer, made more extended talks and received great applause for splendid addresses. Then came the speaker of the evening whose reception and treatment by the crowd amounted to M. UNION LE STRUGGE LE COPY FIVE CENTS roes! ED BY "BUDDIES" WS IN SORROW AT THE NERAL World War Veterans, Laid to Military and Civic Honors le Crowd the Church— as Cortege Passes of Byrnes, Stebbins and Parmalee, Farmers Bank building, paid a fitting tribute to the Mitchell-brothers. He said that a substantial hero fund was being raised and that application had been made to the Carnegie Hero Fund for a pension for the widow of Edward Mitchell. A Mr. Nosokoff sent a check for $10 to the widow of Edward Mitchell and offered the widow of Langston Mitchell free course in hair dressing and manicuring in his school. The obituary of the Mitchell brothers was very interesting. The younger, Langston, was born in Beaumont, Texas, Sept. 9, 1905, attended school in Houston and came to Pittsburgh in 1918. On Jan. 19, 1925, he married Bernadette Scales. The older, Edward, was born in Victoria, Texas, June 29, 1897, and attended the public schools of Houston. World War Veterans. At the beginning of the World War, Edward Mitchell enlisted in the old Eighth Illinois regiment, later the 370th Infantry. He was detailed to Company M and served 22 months overseas. He won several medals for sharp-shooting and was gassed in action. After the armistice, he returned to America, and at Fort McHenry recuperated from the gas attack of 1900. He served Pittsburgh. April 10, 1924, he was married to Miss Paruline Butler. The surviving relatives are Mrs. Edward Mitchell, Mrs. Bernadette Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Millis Mitchell, Mrs. Virgie Dean, Miss Thelma Dean, Miss Hazel Mitchell, Mr. Hansel Mitchell, J. A. Mitchell, little Thelma Mitchell and Mr. and Mrs. Kinchlon. Interment in Lincoln cemetery, where taps were sounded. Investigation is being made by the Carnegie hero fund commission into the deaths of Langston and Edward Mitchell. Following this, medals for valor will be posthumously bestowed and the wives and children provided for. an ovation, as usual. Mr. Smith was here, two years ago, and helped materially to elect the mayor, to his first term. After the meeting, he and a number of others, including the mayor and other city officials, were entertained with light refreshments at the residences of the brothers Julius and Mr. Putko. From this last place, the editor was driven to the Erie Ry. depot, escorted by a delegation of gentlemen, mentioned in the foregoing. The thoroly mid audience in Hamrick's hall. Monday evening, was about one-third Afro-American, and what a meeting it was! At the conclusion of his speech, many went, forward to the stage to grasp the editor's hand and congratulate him. Come again, Mr. Smith—we delight in having you with us. One of the local political elements that contributed most to Tuesday's splendid success was the small "kluxer" opposition that employed Rev. E. W. B. Curry of Springfield to come here and make a speech. Monday evening, to a small crowd (about 100) of people in a little tent, in opposition to Mayor Gordon. Over 1200 persons were packed in Hamrock's hall, the same evening. The Gordon slate won big, Tuesday! While the delegation waited at the depot with the editor for the train, at midnight Monday, Curry sat there ALONE (feigning sleep), also awaiting the train. No one kept him company. Not even one kluxer. Lincoln Fire Ins. Co. Dissolves Chicago.

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. We are now under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the presidents administered it. Even there To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting workers' rights. He also blackened, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one it was begun in and to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held by our Republican Presidency. Only last week, a civil appeared after he passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other faction, and leader of the segregation forces, Col Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the more nod of the head he has taken to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is on the table in the Kux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Spacial to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cateria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings. When they rebel, that they are far when they respect than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a comfortable lounge and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks are around his colored workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often seeds manly and intelligent proteins to the postmaster and often sells them from the decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington D. C. —The government printing office keeps faith with the department's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where the employees may go out; there are the employees that go out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation forces pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he was forced to take the young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was arrested and sent to a police pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately discharged. Unfriendly employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a parish by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exacerbated by the stress of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, D. SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1925 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an impact involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau and worked with white and colored girls working to improve perfect harmony, oblivious to any threat of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored girls to stay in their places." Three of the women dies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loc a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly dis coured, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald was to attack White House and Cabinets and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau a lt together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public. We are the GATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior girls to the segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. — The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed the country, he was secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they have to rely on the general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilette, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners in a sparse, but not negro! Negro! His only taxes the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept secession, alimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D.C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public attention by announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a. segregated section of 60 Afro-American employees. Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Bretteau—ca-u—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the fil Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. 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 standing, and they have 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 equal rights; they are by nature not white." They have no "grat." The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions 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. TRIED TO SAVE A WHITE MAN! THE CARNEGIE HERO FUND WILL RECOGNIZE THEIR HEROIC ACT. Both Leave Families—Their Parents Also Extended Sympathy—Contrast This Picture With the One Furnished by Southern "Civilization" Tom Lee and Others. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Langston Mitchell, age 21, of 69 Fortiluent L., and his brother, Edward, age 28, of 1526 Clark St., employees of the power house of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad, lost their lives in the Monongahela river, last week Tuesday morning, when the train, after a collision (white), an attorney's assistant, who a few minutes before had leaped from the Smithfield St. bridge into the river. A half hour after the two brothers leaped into the water the body of the elder was dragged from the river bottom by police. The body of Langston Mitchell was recovered 10 minutes later. Bott Brothers leave a wife and one child. Waters' body was found last, a short time after that of Langston Mitchell. The brothers, who were among the many that saw Waters leap from the bridge, ran to the water's edge and Edward went in after the white man. Before he arrived in reaching distance of the drowning man the latter went down. Edward Mitchell then began to swim to shore but was caught in a whirlpool, and disappeared. The younger Mitchell then went to the rescue of his brother and was also caught in the whirlpool. Joel Dum (white), are 26 another employee of the power house throw a rope to the second brother before he sank out of sight but Mitchell either failed to see the rope or was played out and not able to reach it. Duffy then entered the water and swam to the edge of the whirlpool but the second brother had already disappeared. Frank Sawyers (white), 12 Gaskill St., Mt. Washington, another employee of the railroad, ran to the water's edge and pulled Duffy to the shore just as he was about to sink. The water near the shore is very deep as there was been a blooming this time a large crowd had gathered and boats were already launched in an attempt to save the men. Neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Mitchell crowded into their modest home on the second floor of 69 Fulerton St., all Tuesday, to offer sympathy on the death of their hero-sons. In the same house with his parents lived Langston Mitchell and his 18-year-old wife, Hernadotte, whom he married last January. In the stricken household also was Langston's sister, Hazel, age 18, and his twin step-sisters, Sarah and Henrietta, 7 months old. "Madam, your step-sons died heroes," said a minister, who was among the first to arrive at the house. Out of the confusion his voice came in a fervent prayer. Edward, the elder brother, was twice married, his first wife having died, several years ago. He has one child, Thelma, 4 years old, a daughter by his first wife. His second marriage No, the foregoing picture was not taken in China. In fact it was taken right here in the good old U. S. A. and is just a telephone central office in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown. When a member of the Chinese race in Ohio wants to talk to some of his friends in San Francisco it more than a ten to one bet that the call will be completed through the above office. Every operator employed therein is Chinese and even the manager is a member of the Yellow race. Nevertheless calls are handled and business transacted in just the same manner as they are in an office of The Ohio Bell Telephone took place about nine months ago. Southern. "Civilization!" Southern "Civilization" Tennessee is the home state of Tom Lee, who was where he claims a residence Tom Lee is not white—instead he is a member of what is known as the despised race in America. In spite of it all, he rose to the occasion of rescue, at the risk of his own life, 32 southern white persons. He saw them in danger and, forgetting the age-old abuses, the insults, the deep injuries heaped upon him and his by these very people, he went calmly, methodically to the task of saving them. For hours he worked unceasingly, exhausting himself in retrieving those very persons he has had most cause to hate. Last week another incident was enacted in Memphis. A switchman, for 37 years, was stationed on a railway company, slipped beneath a car while performing a duty and the wheels severed an arm and a leg. A large crowd witnessed the accident and someone turned in a call for an ambulance. Ten minutes later, so dispatches have it, two white ambulances dashed up to the scene, each eager to be first to administer first a助 to the stricken. Two attendants rushed to the man lying on the ground bleeding to death—two men looked, saw that he was not white—and backed away. A large crowd of both races gathered the white boots on the bloodied man while that his blood was as red as thairs; the others, standing at a respectful distance in the rear of the whites, shook their heads in sorrow at the spectacle. An hour later another ambulance, manned by members of our race, appeared and hastened the stricken man toward a hospital, but he was dead long before the destination was reached. He had died to death as white doctors—exponents of a higher civilization of the American nation at civilization of which he had become a small part, and for which he had given his best years. Every day we have evidence of the inequality of man in American society. Every day there are instances of sacrifice on the one side, and bigoted selfishness on the other. The North is still resounding in praise for Daniels, a Pullman porter, who died that others—white others—might live. Even down in Indiana, the hotbed of kluxism in the North, there are hushed voices when mention is made of two laborers who entered a vat of boiling oil and gas fumes trying to rescue their white foreman. Both died, Maryland and New York, both of whom personal risk, stood on a track and flagged to a standstill a passenger train that would surely have been derailed, had she not displayed the presence of mind she did. Hundreds of lives, most of them white persons, were saved—Chicago Defender. Familiar Sights Transposition Brackets. Simple in construction and apparently unimportant, transposition brackets are among the most useful items of telephone equipment. One of the early problems of telephone engineers was that of reducing induction from parallelling wires. It was found the difficulty could be minimized by transposing the wires at suitable intervals. The curious looking brackets are used in order that the wires may be changed in position without interfering with each other. The locations of transpositions, required have been carefully worked out after years of study and experiment. You will see then at regular intervals on The Ohio Bell Telephone Company lines. If all the people employed in the telephone industry in the United States were formed into a column of fours, it would require 23 hours to march past a given point. KIDDIES' EVENING STORY SOME DAY By Mary Graham Bonner John had been promised that some day he would be taken to Cow Bay. Cow Bay was a most wonderful stretch of beach overlooking a bay or arm of the sea. No one quite knew why it had been called Cow Bay. There were no cows there. True, you passed cows in pastures as you drove down or walked down to the bay. It was just a funny old, old name that had stuck. But some people didn't think it was a pretty enough name for so lovely a spot and they called it Silver Sands. None of the people who had loved it for years called it anything else but Cow Bay. Maybe the name was foolish and maybe it wasn't a very beautiful name. But if you've always had a name for a place you become attached to it and even if it isn't just the right name, you don't want to change it. Co wBay was really a gorgeous spot. It had a great wide, wide beach, and it was very, very long. From one end of the beach to the other the surf rose and fell, tumbled in foamy white tumbles and came dancing up on the sunlit sand. The water was always so deep and gorgeous blue. The foam to white and fluffy and as it came rushing in on top of the waves the sun danced a rainbow dance through it. Behind the beach was a forest of low fir trees. It was jujar far away from any place except some farms and people did not gather there in large numbers. So, when you had a picnic there, you felt as though you almost owned the sky and the sea and the beach and the forests—there was so much of it. "Some day you'll go to Cow Bay. That's a promise." This was what John was told. "Some day we'll have a picnic at Cow Bay, and you'll go, too." This was what they said to him. Then the days began to get warm and they planned to go to Cow Bay. They planned the picnic they would have. John's family were going and some friends of the family and another little boy was going so John would have someone just his own age with whom to play. They would have lunch there and afternoon tea. There would be milk for John and his friend instead of afternoon tea, but they would have it in the afternoon, so they could call it afternoon milk. There would be cookies at this meal, too. It was splendid to see the lunch basket being packed with all the delicious sandwiches which John's mother made. It was fun to start off in the motor. First they went through the town where John lived. Then they took a ferry and it was great fun to ride upon a boat right in the car and then stand still while the boat carried them all across the water to the other side. At the other side they started the car again and went through a small town, then through some woods and beyond some farms to Cow Bay. There it all was—the blue, blue sea stretching way, way out as though it knew it had all the room in the world, the banks at each far end of the great wide beach, the surf, the clear, clean salt air mingled with the fragrance of the forests—oh, what a heavenly place it was. They ran races, they went in wading, they went swimming, they ate, they rested, they had their pictures taken, they went in wading again and swimming again and ate again, and they came home after a wonderful day the same way they had gone. But when they got home there was just one thing John couldn't understand. They had said they were going to Cow Bay "some day," and now they had gone on Tuesday. Why hadn't they gone "some day" as they said instead of Tuesday? And then they explained to John that "some day" meant any day upon which people did the thing they had planned to do "some day."
