TWO PARISIAN FAVORITES. The French Shower Josephine Baker and Al Brown with Honors—Most Popular Americans. Paris, France—To two eminent Afro-American stars, in their respective roles, goes the palm for bed in Paris, where he is now in Paris. One is Josephine Baker, the marvelously artistic dancer, star of the Folies Bergere, and owner of the most fashionable "night box in Montmartre", over whom notables here from many European capitals are raving; the other is Al Brown, a premier boxer, who has defeated a lot of top notchers on this side of the Atlantic. Miss Baker is a product of St. Louis. Mo. In America she is a popular dancer, the best dancers on the stage. Here, she is acclaimed the greatest in her forte in the world. Brown, originally from Panama, but now of New York, will return to America soon. Both Miss Baker and Brown are being showered with attention and honors that a king or queen might well envy. Not a day goes by but one of them is the subject of a sketch, article or funny story in some good magazine. Baker's engagement is indefinite, and when she is through Berlin, Rome, Madrid, and several other great European cities are begining her to come to them. Kip Will Follow His Checks. New Rochelle, N.

Journal Palges, Him Columbus, O.—Ohio State University has just conferred an unusual honor upon Leon Andrew Ransom, who became a member of Cofi, an honorary law fraternity. It is the first time in the history of the national organization that an Afro-American has earned such membership. Young Ransom has the best second degree degree at the university. He is a graduate of Zanesville High school and Wilberforce University. He has earned his own living, all the way along, thru school. In connection with his lawschooling, he has been secretary and assistant to the executive secretary of Spring St. "Y". In an editorial the Ohio State Journal says: "We take off our hat to this young negro, and we are a credit to his race and would be to any race. He has the stuff in him which shows that character and intellect are not matters of racial origin, not confined to that branch of the human family which in our country considers itself superior. He met men of that race in fair contest and proved his superiority. A man, whose attention had been attracted by the Ransom's record to one of his instructors about him, remarking that his career there was a great honor to Negroes. The instructor replied, that Ransom's record was a greater honor to Ohio State University, also." "Old Time" Editor Dead Washington, D. C—John Wesley Cromwell, aged 80, died here. April 14, after having suffered a stroke less than a month ago. He edited a race paper and taught school here for many years, retiring years ago. MOTOR INDUCTION TOWNSIDE INSTITUTE Rev. George L. Cady Dr. George L. Cady of New York, secretary of the American Missionary Association, a Congregational agency "for the furtherance of interracial brotherhood", preached, recently, at Mayflower Cong. church, Cleveland, and, among other things, said: "Five hundred million yellow people, 450,000,000 brown people, and 150,000,000 black people now challenge the right of one-third of the world's surface. How shall we face this overwhelming revolt? It is time we take stock of our souls and realize that if there ever has been a people more arrogant in the part, there surely is none at the present which so struts and swaggers in the presence of other races there is no country in the world that is jim-crowed' its schools, its theaters its playgrounds, its public conveyances, and above all 'jim-crowed' its courts of justice, except America. We may scrap our ships and guns, but if we keep our souls bristling with race prejudice, race arrogance, race hatred, and race pride, these buildings will build new cities mills a Prof. Ellwood in his 'Reconstruction of Religion', has said. "We would seem to be in need of good will more than intelligence." ATTENTION! PARENTS A Few Making It So Very Much Harder for the Many—Our Pastors Can Help if They Will—Personal Mention of Youngstown, O.—The way some of our parents send their children to school, and the way some of the children act at school and on the streets cause "jim-crowism" in some cases. We "jim-crow" ourselves too often. Wash up, clean up and brush the children hair neatly and have them act like human beings in and out of school, and we will not be illafflicted or harassed near much as we are. Last week a group of men visited a certain school on invitation of the teacher (white). When the classes were on the floor reciting, in some instances two or three of ours would be in a class. One had uncombed hair, another in a dirty shirt, still another in a stocking. A pair of rope for a belt. Another had a red sweater with two blue patches. They made the worst appearance and impression. It was humiliating, sickening! Our ministers should discuss this from their pulpits and continue to harp upon it.—The men's choir 25 voices, with sing, in a stocking. A boy, A.M. E. church. J. Elmer Harvey at the organ. Judge Gessinger, speaker. A new electric sign has been installed in front of the church.—Buckeye Lodge, Elks, held their services at Centenary M. E. church, Sunday. R. B.

New York City.—The inability of Mrs. Lillian Fall, white American widow of Louis Fall, known as "Battling Siki," to collect money alleged to have been due him from his former manager at the time he was slain, two years ago, caused the Court, recently, by Justice Mullan, directing Robert Levy, the manager, to account before Official Referee Platzek, April 27, when she was awarded $5,000. Siki, the Senegalese, while in Paris, lived with a girl native of Holland, by whom she had that she was a fine little boy when he left France to come to this country. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NEXT YEAR, FOR THE PRESIDENCY OUR PEOPLE'S DUTY IS PERFECTLY CLEAR AND UNMISTAKABLE. He Has Not Only Refused to Give Us the Recognition Our Due, But Has Simply Ignored Us and Our Requests and Added Insult to Injury— Segregation. "Dragon's Teeth". We respectfully call the attention of President Calvin Coolidge to the unconstitutional and dangerous color-line exclusion of colored youths from the Citizens' Military Training Camp. We call the attention of the commander-in-chief of the army and navy to the declaration of Lieut. M. T. Officer barring Marsden Van Cott Burnell, a brilliant high school student who had successfully passed the examination for training because Burnell is colored. No more outrageous discrimination has ever been practiced against a colored citizen by any southern state than the U. S. army is proclaiming as its practice the exclusion of blacks, which has bittous for military training. The blunt language of Col. Fleet's ban against them savors of the proscription of the Confederacy as expressed by Judge Taney in the Dred Scott decision rather than that of a commanding officer of the U. S. army in the twentieth century. We do not go into the injustice and dislike of the Confederacy so inhumely offered by Col. Fleet. In one sentence he states: "We are not permitted to accept colored men in the C. M. T. Camp in this area." He makes this insult to colored youths in saying: "There will be camps for colored young men in southern states and of course you are eligible to attend, although it may be difficult to attend the entire distance from New York to the camp. I suggest that you send your application to the C. M. T. C. Officer, Fourth Corps Area, Red Rock Bldg., Atlanta, Ga." White youths must attend, when accepted, training in their own area. Their transportation is paid as is their maintenance. For colored boys in the north to be forced to go for training to the south at their own expense and under the racial conditions that obtain in "Dixie" is to deny them training. Thus is insult added to injustice. For the U. S. army to draw this color line against colored boys anywhere is not only a hideous outrage, but dangerously illegal and unjust. The nation is putting rancors in the vessels of its peace when it proclaims this monstrous policy against the coming colored generation. We can say to the nation very much, "We are going to be for and for. The white world is on the verge of war with the colored world. America has not a friend among any of the colored races in Africa, Aska or America due to this very color-line proscription and persecution. Surely the United States will not expect her own colored citizens to fight against those colored races in the army and navy, or Jaws or Mexico or Nicaragua or Hayti—to set up the same color-line in those foreign countries that it now officially sets up not only in her army and navy, but as well in its citizens' training camps. This is an issue, Mr. President, that will not down. We ask that you settle this question and that you settle it right. As the nation's commander-in-chief, we ask that you order this color-line war make it necessary as a war measure. We speak advisely when we say that such outrages as the exclusion of Burnell are sowing dragon's teeth which will later beset the Awarded $24,000. Maysville, Mo.—A suit for $80,000, life-time wages, claimed to have been due her for services in the employment of the late Col. H. Clay Duncan, wealthy cattle man, ended, recently, when Sarah Duncan was accused of assault against the Duncan estate in Circuit Judge Guy Park's court. The jury deliberated about five hours, returning with a 10-2 verdict. Wins Oratorical Contest. Los Angeles, Calif.—Bernard Jefferson one of the small number of Afro-American students in the Manual Art High school of Los Angeles was selected, last week, as the school's representative in the group that won $45,000 in the fourth national oratorical contest on the Constitution.

News, Geo. W. Harris, editor. If Coolidge is The Candidate! The present Coolidge administra- tion is nearing a close and segrega- tion still flourishes in the many fed- CALVIN COOLIDGE eral departments in Washington. Petitions and prayers have availed us nothing and in the nation's capitol we are branded with the badges of inferiority and social difference. This issue should be carefully considered. We are a people of the next election for President comes around. We are a people of sorrow and well acquainted with grief, we are patient, forbearing, long suffering and tolerant but a careful student of our present state of mind. We are a people of that who "fire in the flint" and we ourselves fully appreciate the fact that too much adversity killed the cat.—Chicago Whip. Toussaint L'Ouverture. You think me a fanatic, tonight, for you read history, not with your eyes but with your prejudices. But fifty years hence, when truth gets a hearing, the muse of history will put Phocion for the Greek, and Brutus for the Roman, Hampden for England, Fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright, consummate flower of our earlier civilization and 100 years down the fruitful pen for today, then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L'Ouverture. —Wendell Philips. Settles Case For $5000. St. Louis, Mo.—Miss Gussie Crawford, 2109 Walnut St., who was painfully injured, June 30, 1926, when the automobile in which she was riding was overturned, settled her case out of court, a few days ago, for five thousand dollars. Miss Crawford sustained two broken hip bones and other minor injuries which are permanent. "APPEARANCES" "Went Over Big" And its Author Was Highly Honored by Many Distinguished Persons. Los Angeles, Calif.—Never before in the history of the West has such a notable audience honored an Afro-American playwright as was present at the ovation, Apr. 13 evening, given Island Avenue at the premier of his drama "Appearance at Wilkes Majestic Theatre of Los Angeles" Broadway.

SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1927. The expense of any kind of a hospital is not less than $100 a day, $3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year. Where, is this money to come from? "Jim-crow" Mercy hospital advocates could not pay it. Some of them apparently have not the money to pay their subscriptions to Howard University, the N. A. A. C. P. our churches, and the P. W. A. It is said, some of them need all they will make in the next ten years to get their home-property out of debt. 11111 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Julius, their two sons; his brother and wife, Editor D. E. Knepper of the Campbell Tribune and wife, and Atty Danko and wife, all of Campbell, O. friends (white) of the editor, drove (70 miles) to Cleveland, Sunday, to visit the Keith-Albee Palace theatre, with the editor of The Gazette as their special guest. After which they entertained him at dinner at Pool's restaurant, in E. 55th St. where they were given splendid food and service. Mr. Jos. Julius is city solicitor and his brother city auditor of Campbell. --- Sheriff Edward J. Hanratty (Democrat) announces that the segregation of prisoners in the jail of this (Cuyahoga) county, that has characterized the administrations of several of his predecessors (Republicans) in that office, has been discontinued under his regime, as he promised during the campaign, last fall. Thanks, Sheriff! This leads us to ask whether the Ku Klux Klan has not made segregation a Republican party tenet? It certainly seems so when one recalls what the Coolidge administration, and state and local administrations here in the North are doing to us, these days. The newspaper statement that Logans Owens' estate "totals fifty or seventy-five thousand dollars" is ridiculous. $25,000 is a generous estimate of its value. When "Starlight" (A. D.) Boyd died the same inflated value was placed on his estate by local and other newspapers. Some placed its value at "over $200,000" while others announced it as "100,000" when as an actual fact the administrator finally announced it would not exceed $52,000, which was the case. This was made up of the residence-property in Carnegie Ave. and $10,000 in bonds each left to three children. Where is the sense in "blowbagging" about such things, anyhow? President Coolidge's insulting mis-treatment of our people throut his tenure of office ought to by next year make the sentiment against him so strong among our people that even the "bootlicking" socalled "Negro "Republican leaders" will fear to openly espouse his cause. Segregation began under the Taft administration, grew infinitely worse under the Wilson regime, was not quite so bad under President Harding and has been gradually growing worse under Coolidge, culminating in this recent citizens' training camp decision to which the President's attention has been called by Editor Geo. W. Harris of the N. Y. News. There it will rest, as usual! Lord, have mercy. WANT PROOF A Jewish rabbi by the name of Mayer recently said that U. S. Senator James Reed, who defended Henry Ford in the recent Sapiro trial at Detroit, had written him as follows: "Whatever the outcome of this case may be, I shall continue, in the future as I have in the past, defending those who are assailed because of race or religion". Senator "Jim" is admittedly an exceptionally able statesman and we sincerely trust that under the heading, race, he includes our people. But being a Democrat, and THE GEEVUM GIRLS from Missouri, and not having heard of any defense, as far as we are concerned, that he has made during his long membership in the Congress, naturally makes us a little fearful that he did not have Afro-Americans in mind when writing Rabbi Mayer. And no race or religion is assailed in the Congress half as much as our race. Out in Missouri one has to "show". Here in Ohio one must "show" and prove. We are wondering if there is anyone in Washington, D. C., or Missouri, who can furnish us the proof of Senator James Reed's ever defending, in or out of the Congress, our race when assailed. We sure would like to have it. CUT THIS OUT For Future Reference—It is Invaluable and You Will Often Need It—Part of the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution was adopted, July 28, 1868. This Amendment, after defining citizenship in the United States, provides that "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote in any election for the choice of president, the whole number of the President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in another crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state." Language could not be more explicit than this. If the right to vote for members of the House (Etc.), says this amendment, "you may abridged," then the basis of representation SHALL be reduced. Sues For Job. New York City.—Claiming that he has been denied appointment, as an X-ray electrician at Bellevue hospital, because of his color, Neville M. Atkinson filed mandamus application in the supreme court, Apr. 16, to compel Dr. Mark Fleming, general superintendent, to appoint him. He won the place in a competitive examination. Widow Awarded $4,500 Philadelphia, Pa.—An award of $4,500 was handed down in favor of Mrs. M. B. Dawson, recently, in a damage suit against the Reading R. R. The suit grew out of the death of her husband, Joseph Dawson, who was killed by one of the railroad's trainees while going after a bucket of water for a gang of laborers. "Twas Ever Thus, "Down Home." Birmingham, Ala.—In the building program provided for in the $3,500,000 school-bond issue, Birmingham was to spend over $000 for "Negro schools, while for the whites they estimate $575,500 for high schools alone and $2,042,500 for their grammar schools.

George W. Blount. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled, There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond. Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. IS IT ANY USE TO CON-TEND 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 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 us downs the world and the world will say "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature 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.

SEGREGATION AN OUTRAGE! How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated 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 Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson, still further, under President Harding; and reached its south under President Coolidge. For instance, in 1915 our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present 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 cemetery in this city in 1910, criticizing white workers, 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 situation and a Democratic one, not a Republican, and carried on 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 colored lady appeared after having passed the best examination, 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 word is law there, as he is a favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Holodge. He heals from Negro carolina, 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, and to operation here, the 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 Ku Klux Klan and bounds its actions" 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 cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galloy to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes the blood of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off 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 whiche and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a com for t able 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 attempted in the coliseum, 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 deputy general, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. I announced during the 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 go over the color chart. These clerks give 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 the job. The color ocreed employees are dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to 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.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government'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 large school, where all the employees may go, but there are few tables in an 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 taste that bars promotions. Here, we see where, in the workplace, pass on 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 band, called the band, 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 afire in 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 dropped the arson severe weapons used 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 denial 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 jazette) 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 result of their protest, and three who lost their jobs as Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem oer of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious 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 at the bureau to tell our gile to be 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 this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary Mcadoo to noavail, 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 local 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 discouraged, 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 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 segregates, 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 Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are 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 classrooms and offices to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high age and 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. The our people are still hopeless, the last step in order to destroy this inquisitive culture 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 president was a man of Indies, and in that long sweep of history 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 economy of Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. Those 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 more than 100,000 grocers are so scarce 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 toilets, 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 at times, and are forced to work in the laundry to 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 people who create it. 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. The worst stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of the 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 registrar of the money in 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 color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly before the department's 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 bureaues 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. Bureau Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employee Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. CHARACTER.

Just now, the "something else" happens to be bows. At neckline and at waistline, bows! Trailing from many an evening gown, bows! Adding chic to the coat collar, bows, bows, bows! Indeed for Miss Sweet Sixteen and her debutante sister it promises to be beaux and bows the summer through. Not only do bows find favor with the youthful mode, but at the rate the vogue is flourishing, the coat, blouse or frock either for madam or mademoiselle which fails to flaunt a bow somewhere in its styling will be the exception. On the formal evening gown, bows assume a trailing grace, after the manner of the one positioned so effectively at the shoulder of the handsome dress in the picture.

It is new, distinctly new, and after looking at this picture, you will agree, is a stunning style for the matron. This predilection for black-and-white, which is so general this year, plays most advantageously to matron's modes. There is that smartness and dignity about the combination which finds its ideal interpretation in costumes for women who take no interest in flapper styles. Another item of style importance for the matron is the return of the silk coat. A full-length coat of bengaline, faille, crepe-satin or moire, such as the mode so enthusiastically indores, is a treasurable possession. It will do service throughout the spring and summer months, late into the fall, and always present a well- GAZETTE Subscribe a ture much exploited by the designers of party frocks and evening attire. Hemlines are a very important subject with the stylist. Indeed, the devising of novel and cunning hemlines is challenging creative imagination to most artful effort. Whether the dress be of slender lines, like the one pictured, or of the youthful and bountiful robe de style type, an irregular hemline usually distinguishes it. For the accomplishing of the uneven hemline, the stylist finds inspiration in myriads of fluttering draperies of flimy texture, also in long-streamered bows. A jabot drapery of chiffon is a favorite way of solving the problem of the irregular hemline for the straightline frock. The bountiful skirt, so often of tafeta, gains its unevenness by being shorter in front, sloping to length at the back, or it may open at the front to reveal an elaborate skirt of dancing length.

It is said for the coming months that these satin or silk coats with black-and-white dresses will be the last word in dressy afternoon costumes. There is no end to the intriguing details which enhance these coats, yet when all is said and done, their effect is that of extreme simplicity. Seamwork, set-in placements, tucks, folds, quilting and fancy stitching all contribute their effectiveness to the styling of the silk coat. Many of the new coat collars carry a bow of wide ribbon in place of fur. Often, also, ribbon ties are used to fasten the coat to one side. Silk ruffing, black velvet applique and fringe trims some of the more elaborate models. Frequently the lining is of colorful kasha, such as beige, royal blue with green-gray becoming a favorite shade. Sleeves, too, tell a very sattle story in coat design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, WESTERN Newspaper Union.) After Reading KU KLUX KLAN! CHURCH DEBTS! The indebtedness of our churches in this community is nearly a half million of dollars. This vast sum our people here can never hope to raise among themselves and will have an awful time getting it, if they ever do, from all sources and hopes that sum the one hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollar debt on the new Phillis Wheatley home, the known total aggregates more than a half million dollars! And this does not include the indebtedness of a number of our churches in this community we have not as yet been able to get in touch "then or else" by a bawd "Negro" to ask this community to finance, to ask this community to finance and support a hospital for them to cost at the start two hundred and twenty thousand dollars, making the total indebtedness of "Negro" controlled institutions here more than this, nearly a million dollars, is simply ridiculous and out of the question. This recalls the fact that there is positively no need of a hospital controlled by "Negro" physicians; that it would occur to a more harmful "jim-crow" affair, another "burden" on the community; that it could never hope to give the service our people are now enjoycing to the community a number of which have Afro-American physicians connected with them, some on their staffs. The one claim of the proponents of Mercy hospital that such an institution is necessary in order to make an opening for two or three yearly graduates of local medical institutions to train as internes, is can be made without a two-hundred-thousand-dollar expense and with a hundred times less trouble, if it is really necessary. All that is necessary is for City Manager Hopkins to open the City hospital and nurses' school to our internes and would-be nurses, as well as citizens and tax-payers can use the courts to compel him to do so, and it will not cost any $220,000 to do this, either.
