TO VOTE INDEPENDENTLY AND EXPLAINS WHY THEY SHOULD DO SO. The Noted Attorney Then Explains Prejudice and Proves Color or Race Is Not the Cause But the Stigma of Slavery—Whites Slaves. Washington, D. C.—Notwithstanding the trials and tribulations under which the Afro-American is laboring, his future is promising. Clarence S. Darrow, noted criminal lawyer and champion of human liberty, declared in an address, under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch at Metropolitan A. M. E. church, last week Monday night. "It is not possible", he said, "that a caste system can forever exist in the United States. I is not possible that through force and fraternity and violation of law colored people can ever be submerged in a country dedicated to freedom." The church was crowded to capacity. Not even standing room was available an hour before the meeting began. Thousands clamored in vain to gain admission. Finally those on the outside were told to go to John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church and Mr. Darrow addressed them later on. have no monopoly on intelligence. If they have they do not show it. And the less intelligent, they are the more they despise the colored people. White people do not object to color, even in human beings. I have been in parlors where East Indians were present and could not get anywhere near them on account of classy white women surrounding them. Nobody objects to color if it is as East Indian. They do not object to it if it is a Chinaman or an Indian in an Indian is a noble red man, but a Negro is not a noble black man. It is not color. What is it? It is habit. We are a people of habit. We never learn anything? We take what is handed to us. It bothers people to think. Most people are afraid. It will split their heads open. We have formed certain habits and attitudes as to the colored people, and the main one is that the Negro is a slave. "You are getting education and you are getting money. Money is a power and education is a power. You have got to get what you can in this world and get it the best way you can. Your money is a great advantage in this world. Education is a great advantage, too. The man whose mind is trained can get things in this world nobody else can get. Getting money and getting education are of first importance. Vote Independently. "I have been a little disappointed with the votes of colored people. I never did them how to vote. I do think they have to vote. I have to help themselves with they ought to vote to help themselves and they ought to vote practically solid in the effort to do so. I know what they have done all these years. Of course, I am an independent in politics, but I never vote the Republican ticket; otherwise I am independent. Now, I am not advising anybody to vote the Democratic ticket, but I do think the colored people have to vote to help their voting. There are probably a half dozen states in the Union where colored votes could settle a presidential election. Why not settle it? There are any number of cities where colored votes can settle a municipal election. They can settle it in Chicago, in Detroit, in New York, probably in Cleveland, along the Ohio river, in any number of them. Now what have you been doing with your votes. You have been voting the Republican ticket, mine is voting the Democratic ticket. I am advising you to vote as men. I know you问你 why you vote the Republican ticket, the Republican party gave you your freedom. But you have got it pretty well paid for now. If you have not, you had better vote the Republican ticket once more and take a receipt in full. Gradually the colored people can vote further and further south, but you have got to divide your vote. Go get the only immunity you have. I know you have political leaders and they are getting jobs for themselves. You ought to shun them as you would a pestilence. I remember that in the stockyards in Chicago they had an old steer that had been broken in to lead the cattle to slaughter. That is what the politicians do. It is a scurvy trade—to make a living out of politics. There is nobody who has the good of your people at heart who would say you would be absolutely independent in politics and make the out of it. You have got to win by your talents, your patience, your industry, your courage. Gradually I think you will get your recognition. The Real Cause of Prejudice. "It is not color that causes prejudice. It is the past servitude which is very recent, and yet the colored people have no monopoly on slavery. My ancestors were slaves. White people have been bought and sold in the market just the same as your ancestors were. The only difference is that the longer ago, all that makes all difference is the world—the age of it. It is like aristocracy. No man can ever be an aristocrat if he ever worked. No man can be much of an aristocrat if his father ever worked, and not a complete one if his grandfather ever worked. An aristocrat must be five or six generations removed from work. And so a people must be at least five or six generations removed from slavery before the stigma gets off. It has not been more than two hundred years since white people were slaves in Europe, many of them. It has only been sixty years since colored people could be bought and sold, but that makes the difference. It has not been more than two hundred people are poor, because some of you are doing pretty well. You are getting paid for your work, some of you. It is not because they are ignorant because there are a great many intelligent colored people as intelligence goes. The white people have no monopoly on intelligence. If they have they do not show it. And the less intelligent they are the more they despise the colored people. White people do not object to color, even in human beings. I have been in parlors where East Indians were present and is could not get anywhere near them on account of their noblely objects, surrounding them. Nobly objects are color id it is as East Indian. They do not object to it if it is a Chinaman or an Indian. An Indian is a 'noble redemon', but a Negro is never a noble black man. It is not color. What is it? It is habit. We are a people of habit. We never learn anything. We take what is handed to us. It others people are to think. Most people are to think their heads open. We have formed certain habits and attitudes as to the colored people, and the main one is that the Negro is a slave. "I cannot help being pleased at this fine reception you have given me, tonight. I do not know how much I deserve it. The truth is, I was born that way, and I think that is the way it is with everybody else. They are either born that way or not. I was born of an abolitionist family up in northeastern Ohio, and I never tried to get over it."

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MERCY HOSPITAL ADVOCATES HOW THE KLUXERS WON THEM TO THEIR VICIOUS SEGREGATION IDEA. Where and When Segregation Was Born and by Whom Suggested—A Ku Klux Klan Tenet or Fundamental—Do Not Patronize the Advocates of the Mercy "Jim Crow" Hospital. To state publicly their position, the following committee was appointed, Monday, at our ministers' meeting, attended by about forty, held in Gethsemane Baptist church to listen to ($200 a month) Dwight Williams and Dr. Owens, prophet of the "h-crow" Mercy Hospital for Cleveland; Prince, Messiah Baptist church; Rev C. C. Ailer, Zion Hill Baptist church; Rev J. J. P. Foote, St. Paul A. M. E. church; Rev C. C Lee Jefferson, St. Marks Presbyterian church, and Rev R. S. Brown, Mt. Zion Cong. church. Rev. Aller is the most outspoken of our local ministers in opposition to the hospital scheme. H. H. Garvin, one of the most active advocates of the "jim-crow" hospital, moved out to Wade Park Ave. away from his people, and "raised a great hubbub" by so doing. Others of the few doctors, co-workers of his in "the Lord Have Mercy" movement, have done likewise. Our sane and sensible people in this community ought to withhold their patronage from them and the churches whose ministers do not come out openly in opposition to the anti-race-progress position in this "jim-crow" hospital movement. The expense of any kind of a hospital will not be less than $100 a day, $3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year. Where is this money to come from? The "jim-crow" doctors could not pay it. They have not got the money to pay their subscriptions to Howard University, the N. A. A. C. P., our churches, and the P. W. A. Some of them need all they will make in the next ten years to get their home-property out of debt, it is said. Dr. Joe Thomas, it is said, says IN UNION IS STRENGTH KLAN!

Owe Nearly a Million Dollars. Owe Nearly a Million Dollars. Cleveland, O March 22, 1927. Bellor, The Wich Dealer. City: After receiving a book published in this morning's Plain Dealer, relative to the Mercy Hospital Association movement for colored people, the thought occurred to me that if the few colored doctors and their friends wish to finance and maintain such an institution, no one would object. But if they wish this community to do so, they would likely be appointed because the local colored churches with the Phillis Wheatley home have a combined indebtedness of nearly a million dollars which they are asking this community to help them wipe out, the colored people here being totally unable to provide even a small part of this large sum. Nor could they ever hope to import doctors or any new doctors asking it were able in any way to finance it. Then, too, this city has, or soon will have with the plans already being carried out, ample hospital facilities for all. As to internes and nurses, the city hospital can take care of them. "Machine Shop." The latest definition of the proposed "Negro manned" hospital is a "machine shop". Now will some one please, please go one step further and call it a "butcher-shop?" Again we say, why not use all of this energy to secure our just privileges in the City hospital, (for the support of which we pay taxes) and the other hospitals, a number of which are planning new buildings.—Cleveland Call.

Gonaives, Haiti, March 18.—President Borno, the American "controlled" chief executive of Haiti, today reviewed the U. S. fleet of more than 100 warships. The 40,000 sailors manned the rails under a tropical sun as the Haitian president, accompanied by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Robinson, passed before the anchored fleet on board the cruiser Trenton. The "presidential" soluter of twenty-one guns was fired from the biggest vessels. Fifteen admirals took part is the review. The greatest force of American sailors ever assembled was disappointed when Admiral Hughes, commanding the fleet, prohibited shore leave.

Williamson ot Greene county, in which are lo- Shhea the elty of Xenia and the town Gt Wilberforce, where reside thou- sands of Afro-American voters, is Shairman of the nancial committee of the House of Representtives of Ohio, Designing and malicious mem- bers of both races in Greene county, ‘who are unfriendly to Wilberforce ‘University, have been filling Chair- man Williamson full of those obso- Tote tales about “‘certain irregulari- ties”, in the conduct of the C.N. & I. (State) Department of the univer- Teg with the result that he pub- Tiely announced, last week, that at the present session of the State AS sembly there would be legislation which would require in the future, “gil expenditures of the C. N. & 1 Gaiate)” Department of Wilberforce diversity to bo checked and. ap- proved by the executive clerk of the institution after its authorization by the board of trustees and the super- gntendent” and that “this year's ap- propristion by the State Assembly for the State Department would be_ made subject to the state board of control”. Mr. ‘Williamson also said that “those in control of the state Department had not been handling {ts business 0 a proper manner”. ‘This last statement and his unfor- tunate reference to “irregularities” are WRONG and he has only to consult the report of the state ex- aminer sent to Wilberforce, in re- cent weeks, by the state auditor to convince himself of this fact. It is at least strange that he did not do this before making his incorrect stalements. There have been. no “irregularities” in the conduet of the state department of Wilberforce University and its business has been handled in a proper manner, just as the state examiner reported, in re- cent weeks, to the state auditor. What Chairman : Williamson's rea sons, for insisting upon belleving ina saying otherwise and making statements that cannot but prove harmful to that branch of the state’s educational system, is something we cannot understand. And we say this as a trustee of the C. N. & I. (State) Department of Wilberforce ‘University. The state auditor, who ig a member of the board of control, has announced that he and other members of the board of control have mot suggested nor will they consent to the plan outlined by Chairman Williamson. Furthermore, the law of the state is such that it would have to be revoked in order to carry out Mr. Williamson's new plan of making the exeputive clerk of the institution its flseal officer, thus placing him over the superin- tendent and board of trustees of the institution when it comes to its ex- penditures, And this would be Yicieulous, to say the least. Some- thing the State Assembly of Ohio would never be guilty of. Further- more, the system proposed by Chair- man Williamson Is NOT “the same as that maintained at every (or any) state educational institution”, and he ought to know this fact. Meantime, all of our thousands of voters in Greene county and the other counties in its state senatorial district should be made familiar with Representative Williamson's very harmful stand against the best interests of Wilberforce University 40 they will know what to do in case he stands as a candidate for the nomination for state senator, as ru- mored, or stands for any other of- \fice at any time in the future. STOP BEING FOOLED! Allegan, Mich., Mar. 21, '27. Editor, Gazette, Dear Sir:—I am truly glad that our people are open- ing their eyes to the duplicity of the Republican party. Jt has not been a true friend of our people for many years and is worse in that re- spect than the Democratic party for the latter has never tried to fool us like the Republican party has and still does. Why don’t our voters drop both old parties and vote with the Progressive party or the Social- ists’ party? Can't they see that we have got a better show with them than either of the old parties? 1 am done with the Republican party. They don't mean our people any good at all, I have been working hard for three years to get those here to see that the old parties were work- ing hand In hand to fool our people out of their votes. So quit voting with them and let them know they can't fool us “all the time”. Prej- udiced whites are fighting our peo- ple harder today than ever before in the history of this country. So let us make up our minds to stand together for one and another. Wishing “The Old Reliable” Ga- ‘yette more power and success, L am Yours very truly, R. EB.

"I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averaged, the hearts of men grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The law that do dare, must speak and speak to right the wrongs of many. Elsa Wheeler, Wilcoy. There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-American citizens, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

SEGREGATION AN OUTRAGE! How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press and People of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? Coolidge Permits It. Washington, D. C., (Special), — There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Lafay. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson, to a still further, still more aggressive President Harding; and reached its zenith under Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent administration has found time and desire to introduce 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 citizens in this city into two districts: restricting white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is in a Democratic situation and not a Democratic one by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any timeance 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 on our Republican President. Only on week, a colored girl appeared after having received best examination, and now 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 a favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the other favorite 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 mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy in operation here, 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 one of the chief tenets of the one of the caucus members who "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffive segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla 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, disagreement as it is, is far less appealing to the colored clerks than is giving their government to take their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting up as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable 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 whines and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges 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 toiletts. 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 presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dandine and a pleasant socializing with the postmaster, 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 give the colored color to the flowers, giving the function 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 sends men to institutes and the postmaster, and often appeals from his 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.) 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 also passes 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 African American splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a 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 dance hall, where those smart Negroes who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building after in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly drop one of the charges and charge one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our 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 pariah 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 dental that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names 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 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 is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a leader of the Civil War, wife of Senator Robert La Follette Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- her or his family issued the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, omnivorous to any thought 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 contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, 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 his unmammable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to nowail, 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 loca 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 disuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the flight for democracy was at the town, and Garrard Wilkard came down to attack White House and Cabinet 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 segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that braum Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Doug has helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course in the offices of institutions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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 positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the assurance and support of this ongoing 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) 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 after the British navy factory that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national building system which financed the lives of the American financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair 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 demand for the new tax, several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarse there that they can't be noticed. There is the same 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 lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to work in the kitchen when they stire 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 street is the sweetest place creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries 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 segregation or elimination, 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. A single stroke of his pen, President Obama's 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 the 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, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of the right to public view. The words, 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 Burcus 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 employ- Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. 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. Department. Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room.

Smith, Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and have given me time during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when you, I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class.

FABRIC FOLDS AND TUCKS TRIM REFINED COAT TYPES OF TWILL I FULL-LENGTH PLAITS PRETTILY STYLE GIRLS' TUBABLE FROCKS TAFTS BY CHEER IN THE refined coat types of twill, cashmere, rep and suede cloth, which the mode sponsors for spring, smart femininity finds a realization of its dreams for quiet elegance. Exquisite workmanship and selective detail impart a distinctive gentility to these coats of fine cloth. With all their intricacy of fabric manipulation, never at any time are the folds and tucks and tiers and skillful seaming which mark their development, allowed to intrude upon the slenderness of the silhouette. Black is conspicuous, both in cloth and silk for the daytime coat which is not a sports model. Navy blue is again to the fore. Tan and beige are very fashionable and several French conturlers are showing a preference for gray. The most interesting factor in the new coats is their unique and complicated construction which, after all is said and done, leads up to an appear- FULL-LENGTH PLAN STYLE GIRL BECAUSE a dress is of washable material is no reason for slighting it in the making. Indeed, Dame Fashion is seeing to it that cotton-goods frocks receive a flattering attention this season. According to the mode's decree they are to be styled with every intriguing detail genius may devise. This rule applies not only to the making of grown-ups' tubular dresses, but equally so to the fashioning of little folks' gingham, volles, prints, dimities, broadcloth, swiss, organdies, linens and the like. One item for which the stylist shows a special preference for this season is pearl buttons. They will trim the majority of wash dresses for children during the coming spring and summer months. Full-length plaits, particularly boxplaits, are being exploited by designers of children's fashions. Even the softer materials such as volle show GAZETTE Subscribe a ance of Puritan simplicity. Tucks from pin size to extremely broad effects are a means to chic styling, and when not tucks, then broad folds such as find placement on the model in the picture, the same being typical of the spring trend. We are also to have a spring season of fur collared coats. The furs most in evidence on spring coats are ombre lamb, ermine, gray or beige or white, kolinsky with novel calfskin and shaved lamb and quite a little monkey fur. The fur collar of deep revers, such as this picture shows, is in excellent style. At all times the fur is blended to the color of the cloth of the coat, the outstanding exception being the stunning new black-and-white effects. There is nothing in the category of spring coats more effective than the black cloak either of cloth or silk which boasts a white fur collar. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, (© 1227, Western University Union.) TS PRETTILY S' TUBABLE FROCKS this influence. This very pretty little voile dress in the picture admirably illustrates the new trend, for it introduces a single box plait at each side of the front, extending from shoulder to hemline. These plaits give a fine excuse for using peel buttons, for how else could they be held in position at the low waistline? Blue thread, matching the dot in the voile is used to sew on the buttons, also to embroider rows of fagoting at the top line of a series of shirrings which so gracefully supplies fullness to the skirt. The scalloped collar and sleeve bands are white, for it is the fashion to trim prints with plain, this season. Full-length plaited treatments are especially featured in the making of linen dresses, and linens are taking a prominent place among materials for children's apparel. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
