It also reduces the amount of gear shifting necessary. All of which makes the car easier to handle in traffic. And it is the car that is sluggish in traffic, slow to find its place, that does so much to add to traffic congestion. I look forward to a wide use of the high compression motor. And it is not unreasonable to expect that some day the influence on traffic of this improved car will be noticeable. The use of high compression fuel and the high compression motor is going to give to the American public a new understanding of what is meant by automobile performance. And the car which can't perform is going to find its course along the streets and highways more troublesome.

The Little Black Boy Dancer and Banjo Player, Chased off the American Stage, Appears Before European Royalty. Paris, France—"Snowball"—that is what he is called, but his real name is Master Edwin Arden Harris, and he comes from St. Louis, Mo. U. S. A.—was not permitted to "strut his stuff" on the stage in New York City when he was under contract with the Paul Whiteman orchestra, the Children's Aid society of that city calling in the law as an estopall on the plea that he was too young. But the Parisians are not so scrupulous, and now "Snowball" is one of the big hits in the Dolly Sisters Revue, playing here, and his banjo playing and dancing en el en Castoque, one of the Enchanted in the French capital, and the Ambassadeurs Restaurant, the recreational dining-hall of visiting kings, queens, princes plenipotentiaries and other notables visiting this gay city. Among the royal lookers who have been entertained by the little black American boy is the popular Prince of Wales, and "Snowball's" Parisian success has led to attractive offers from both Berlin and London in both cities, if it can be conveniently arranged.

THE BLACK AFRICAN AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN A native African, who has made his pile by the virtue of rubber, cocoa and timber, has arranged a two-million-dollar loan in New York City and is now speeding back to Africa with a retinue of smart, white men for the purpose of opening up a cooperative trader's bank on the west coast of Africa. When the African is some of his own people back with them, work in the bank he replied that his African offshoots in America didn't know enough about business. While this was going on, the Pan-African congress (and the Elks) was holding its sumptuous sessions in New York and the African trader paid them no mind. We need not worry about the Africans. When they get learning, from our observation they do not have known what they have known many (also West Indians) who register great pride in declaring that they were British subjects. Africa is alright but it seems to be for the Africans who pay far more attention to white people than they do to us. We are not able to lead them intelligently now when we can't lead ourselves. It is the kingdom of the blind that Bernard Shaw wrote of where a one-eyed man is able to see better than some after we have worked out the puzzle of being an American citizen in truth.-Chicago Whip. THE CRUSADER CO. SUED! For The Recovery of Money, Says Our Local Contemporary—Whole- Earth sale negotiations", etc. The Crusaders Mutual Insurance Company asserts that the courts recently acquired the Hope Aid and other insurance interests, seems to be having hard sledding. The past few weeks the company of which Herbert S. Chauney is president and N. L. McGhee, secretary, was the scene of internal strife, through which there were wholesale resignations from men who through service and experience have won for themselves places in the commercial pursuits of our group. That all is not well with the company is evidenced by the numerous complaints being made by numbers of those who in one way or the other have come in business contact with the now mentors of the company. Investigation discloses the facts that when the Crusaders Mutual Insurance Company acquired the Crusaders Mutual Insurance a number of claims which it is alleged and was supposed to satisfy. But it is apparent that there is effort to invalidate these claims and, as the allegations continue, a number of suits are in process of law.—The Cleveland Call.

PATHETIC PLEA OF THE NATIVES OF THE GREAT CONTINENT WHO AS MEN ARE ASKING FOR TEACHERS AND LIGHT. The Spokesman-Chief a Cannibal—Archdeacon Lloyd in Stanley's Forest—Trinity College Boys Entirely Eliminate Race and Color Distinctions— "The Clash of Color." (Signs of The Times.) (From the Middlesex County Times, London, England.) "We have come from our forest home to see you and speak to you, O White Man. We have heard that you teach men about God, and that He is a God of love. We ask you to tell me about the nature of the teachers, for we also are men." These words, taken down by Archdeacon Lloyd as they were said to him eighteen months ago in the heart of Stanley's Forest, Central Africa, by the spokesman-chief of a cannibal tribe, which had traveled far in order to give the message, were read by the Archdeacon in St. George's Hall, Ealing, during the course of his address. He was given at a well-attended meeting of the Failing Rural-decanal Conference. He wished, continued Archedeon Clovid, to speak to his audience that night upon three aspects of Africa—Africa coming to life, Africa unprepared, and Africa seeking. Africa was coming to life for the first time in its history; it had previously been as one dead, held in the grip of unhindered evil, and taking place all over that huge continent. The Africau was beginning to realize that he was a man, and that he possessed a glorious country, rich with possibilities. That country was being developed, wealth was flowing into it, but the Africau was as yet unprepared to meet these vast changes. The Africau knew he was unprepared, and he eagerly thirsted for knowledge. For instance, he was willing to spend lavishly on purchasing the Wood of the marmoset for Bibles for the two shillings each, and New Testaments for fourpence or sixpence each, had sold two hundred and forty pounds worth of such books in one day alone. Educational work was the grandest means of evangelizing Africa, but there must be a Christian basis for the work. Education was not a by-product; it was an essential in the work of the church of Christ. "The African, in common good, the marmoset of India and China," he concluded "is asking. Is the claim of Christ to be the world's Saviour true?" and you Christians are called as witnesses in the greatest case ever tried. What is to be your answer? (From an article by Rev. Dr. Thurlow Fraser, in the Manitoba Free Press, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Basil Matthews, in his book, "The Clash of Color," tells of a remarkable school in Kandy, the ancient hill capital of Ceylon. It is Trinity College, with an attendance of five hundred and fifty boys. "They are boys of all ages from nine to nineteen; of all shades of color, from white to dark brown; boys of over a dozen race divisions, including Singalese and Tamil, Burmese and Burgher (mixed European and native), English and Scottish, Negro Baganda from Africa, and Chinese; and of all races, including Indian Hindi, Moorish and Christian; boys who put up a cricket team that has won every match in the season in the island competition, and who plunge down into the slums of Kandy to take first aid to people who are ill and poor, and to carry them off for boating excursions." So effective was their social service that at the request of the civic authorities these schoolboys "prepared a survey of the need and possibilities of housing to do away with the slums of Kandy, and on their survey subsequent legislation was framed and houses have been built. Indeed, we have the public statement of the Governor of Ceylon that "we have the unusual occurrence of boys, while still at school, making the laws of their country." The remarkable thing about the performance of these boys was that they entirely eliminated race and color distinctions from their relationships. Boys of every shape and color worked together in perfect team play. In the same spirit they worked for all the different races and creeds of their city and districts without the slightest trace of discrimination. The old bitterness of racial hatred, the cheap sneers and fibes and jeers, which are far more common in our society, disappeared entirely. What was the secret of it? It was this: they were out to serve. They were banded together to fight, not one another, but the common foes of all mankind, poverty, ignorance, dirt, disease, and vice. They were thinkers, not killers, who help their fellow human beings. They were out to discover how much they IN UNION WE ARE IN STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS RICA! OF THE NATIVES NENT WHO AS MEN ARE CHERS AND LIGHT. annibal—Archdeacon Lloyd inity College Boys Entirely Color Distinctions— could give, and how much they could get. . . . That was the secret of the spirit of the boys of Trinity College, Kandy. They still professed different religions, Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, Christian, and others. But the whole school had become imbued with the spirit of service of the Christian men from Britain who had laid its foundations and shaped its charm. They were also the victims of race hatreds and class hatreds had disappeared. "I am among you as he that serveth." That is the secret of human brotherhood. SOLD HOTEL FOR $100,000. Athens, O.—One of the outstanding examples of ability to succeed in business has been demonstrated by Mr. Edward C. Berry of this cty, retired hotel-owner, who four years ago sold the plant, he had been many years building up, for $100,000. He Mr. Edward C. Berry. lives here in a fine home, is still regarded as one of the leading citizens of this community and is reputed to be worth a quarter of a million dollars. Mr. Berry came to Athens 40 years ago and successfully his hostel which was patronized by the best people of the city and the traveling public the country over. Although ill for a year, he still holds his own as one of the finest specimens of western architecture. Berry are members of our local Baptist church and regarded as pillars of the same. LIBERIA PROGRESSING. The Little Black African Republic Has Taken On New Life—Great Rubber Plantations There. New York City.—Major Moody Staten, who for the past four years has been in charge of the Liberian Frontier Forces. Liberia's West Africa frontier is the country of absence, and is visiting his brother, Ira, of W. 127th St. Major Staten is accompanied by his wife and their 18-month-old son, Moody, Jr. They brought with them a ten months old chimpanzee, Venus, given him by native soldiers as a token of their esteem. There are comparatively new chimpanzees in captivity, largely the ones that mainly themselves to death, when taken from their kind. But Venus was captured when only two months old and has known human beings all her life. She stands at present 18 inches high and weighs 30 pounds. When fully grown she may be five feet tall, and weigh more than a hundred pounds. A chimpanzee reaches its full growth when seven years of age. Road Building Progress. According to Major Staten, Liberia is making exceptional progress in road building and other internal improvements. He praised the work of the Frontier police, organized in 1922 by the late Col. Charles Young (deceased in 1991), doing splendid work in maintaining order both among the tribesmen in the interior and along the coast. Major Staten is a former member of the 25th U. S. Infantry, but was transferred during the World War to the 365th Infantry. He went overseas as commander of the 317th Military Police. He has been in the army for 15 years. Major Staten went to Washington, this week, to report to the War Department. He is not certain that he will be returned to Africa, but if his leave of absence continues several weeks longer, he and his family expect to visit his former home at Spokane, Washington.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927. There is no longer any excuse for our newspapers to continue to publish the "rot" sent to them by enemies of the State Department at Wilberforce or by "sore" former-employees of that institution. So stop it! It is said local school authorities are trying to force many of our pupils to attend Central High school and that it is gradually being turned into an industrial school. How about this? Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson of Chicago has given our people more and better positions than any other mayor in the history of this country, up to date. That all must admit. And he is setting a pace for Republican municipal administrations to follow that our people in every big city in the country at least ought to see that they do so, as far as possible. This is not impossible. It only needs the assumption and maintenance in the various localities, upon the part of our voters, of an independent Republican attitude along with the exercise of a little good judgment. Of course, our leaders must be MEN, loyal, aggressive and honest, and not political "boottickers" like those who affiliate with local political organizations, as a rule. LOSES HIS JOB T. C. Carter was dismissed as executive clerk in the office of Richard C. Bundy of Wilberforce university after he was said to have aided in a recent investigation.—Chicago (III). Defender. Our esteemed contemporary is in error. As a trustee of the State Department at Wilberforce, Ohio, the writer, editor of The Gazette, desires to say that Carter was NOT dismissed, as an employee of the department, because "he was said to have aided in a recent (or any other) investigation". This same thing is true in the case of each of the other six or seven employees dismissed. Ever since they were "fired" such mis-statements, as the Defender's, have been made repeatedly in many of our newspapers and certain Ohio dailies, all with a view to assisting the Ohio state board of control in forcing their re-employment by the board of trustees of the State Department at Wilberforce. Now that the attorney general of Ohio has informed certain medleysome members of the Ohio state board of control that their board had no legal right to hold up the payroll of the State Department, something it has done in the past when it sought to force the board of trustees of the State Department to do its bidding or that of some of its members, it is to be hoped that an end has been put to not only such harmful interference in the conduct of the Department, but also that the opportunity for disgruntled, dismissed employees to make trouble thru the state board of control and the newspapers has been eliminated for all time. And we ask a careful reading, of the article headed "Wilberforce" in column 7, page 4, of this paper, by all of our editors, particularly. PREJUDICE IN THE AMERICAN LEGION. In spite of the efforts, of certain prejudiced members of the American Legion, to estop Afro-American members of that organization from going to France, in recent weeks, a number of them seem to have landed there just the same., giving proper color to the pilgrimage, of course. The most popular soldiers in France, particularly Paris, during the World War were these very same Afro-American soldiers. This fact may have something to do with the effort to discourage our boys from taking part in the pilgrimage which is so delighting all France, these days. We have a very vivid remembrance of a certain prejudiced "chilpoke" commander of a division of Afro-American soldiers in France during the World War who issued an order that his soldiers should stay out of Paris. This because the French women of the largest city in France showed such marked preference for American soldiers of color. It is barely possible that some of these prejudiced "toadstool" members of the American Legion, who were trying to keep Afro-American veterans of the World War out of France, these days, may have had unpleasant experiences while seeking the companionship of French women, in Paris during the World War, who preferred the company of American soldiers of color. Our people of Ohio may as well begin now to get ready for another fight, during the next session of the State Legislature, to kill another anti-intermarriage bill which some Kluxer member has already prepared for introduction. As early as the middle of last month the synopsis of an initiated bill of that nature was certified as correct by the Attorney Gen- Machinery S Shovel CRANE AND CLAW SHOVEL DIGGING T Machinery Supplants the Pick and Shovel in Building Telephone Lines DIGGING A MANHOLE: DIGGING TRENCH FOR UNDERGROUND TELEPHONE CABLE- JUST as the motor truck has sent the horse back to the farm and the electric light is putting the oil lamp out of business, power equipment is relieving man of the necessity for manipulating a pick and shovel. The use of new types of laboraving machinery is exemplified in the work which The Ohio Bell Telephone Company is doing to place its main long distance lines in cable. The company, in collaboration with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, has just completed its part of the new long distance cable running from Cleveland through Pafnessville, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut to Buffalo and thence to Albany and New York. Of the 74 miles of the cable in Ohio, 34 miles were underground in conduit. It was necessary to lay 24 miles of conduit, there being 10 miles already available in and near Cleveland. In spite of the fact that it was the biggest conduit job the Ohio Bell company had ever undertaken, it was one of the most easily accomplished. The digging of trenches for the conduit was done by three motor-driven trenching machines, capable of digging about 5,000 feet of trench in a working day. To accomplish this work in the same THE GEEVUM GIRLS HOW ARE YOU GETTING ALONG- WITH YOUR 'MAGIC, GOLDIE? FINI! GIVE ME YOUR HAT AND I'll SHOW YOU THE GREAT AT 'RABBIT TRICK' eral of the state. The synopsis is in the following language: "To prohibit and make unlawful the inter-marriage of white persons and Negroes and to make such marriages null and void; to make it unlawful for any person authorized to solemnize marriages to perform such marriage ceremony; to provide a penalty for violation of said law; and to define a 'Negro' for the purposes of the act." If the legislators do not pass the "Kluxer" bill, it can be voted on at the next statewide election following the legislative session, if the proper number of valid signatures are filed. Therefore, it is the part of wisdom for us to begin at once to prepare for this battle. PRIME SPORT NEWS Yarbo Needs New Manager. A Cleveland writer had the following of local interest in the last issue of the Chicago Defender: "The writer has been hobnobbing along with Wilson Yarbo, local K. O. boxfighter in the 160-pound class, for the past five years and right now we have a new manager. He should take unto himself a fight manager who can take good care of him when it comes to the technical and gyp points of securing worthwhile nurses for Wilson's services.

Manholes for the underground cable, which are required at frequent intervals to allow for splicing the various lengths of cable and to gain access to the wires at any time, were constructed quickly with the use of metal holes. The holes were dug with a crane and claw shovel, and special manhole frames for the construction of concrete reinforced manholes were used. Digging of holes in which to set poles is accomplished on big jobs by the earth-boring machine, which with the aid of three men can accomplish the setting of from 30 to 80 poles a day. Digging pole holes by the sweat of one's brow is a slow and tiring task. From three to five or six holes a day, depending on the type of soil, is an average day's work for one man. To do the job one earth-boring machine can handle, therefore, would require a force of from 12 to 15 men, and those men would be rather tired at the end of the day's work. Setting the poles in position is now done by power in most cases. The construction truck which carry the men and equipment to the job are equipped with der- NOW DAD, DROP YOUR POCKETBOOK INTO THESE EGGS, AND YOU SIS, DRE YOUR WRIST-WATCH INTO IT! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927. Recently, David Hawkins, Yarbo's present manager, proved to the boxing game he is not capable of handling a big time fight. Much credit has been taken from Yarbo, due to the lack of common ring knowledge displayed by Hawkins prior to the Walker-Yarbo mixup, two weeks ago. Hawkins is without any doubt a very good player, and he comes to talking dollars and cents he lacks the sense end of it. So we now suggest to Yarbo to seek a manager who can talk turkey to promoters and also see it to that Wilson secures the best of training quarters and good boxers to work out with. Yarbo does not stand alone as Cleveland's best ring artist, for there is 'Gunner Johnson' a keeper jack welterweight, and Jimmy Miller, a lightweight who is entering the pro ranks, this fall. We saw Johnson come back after a terrific first round beating by Frankie Ward at the bowl and he sent the Meridian slugger to the canvas for the count in the third round. He is a coming sensation. As for Miller, a clever kicker and amateur lightweight in town, last winter, at the different clubs. He, too, is good, and we hope to land them both on the indoor cards regularly this season."

A great deal of study has been applied to the design of the motor trucks and their accessories, the trend being toward lighter weight and more efficient labor-saving equipment. The truck bodies are built to carry tools and materials in the most orderly and compact way and are arranged to provide the maximum free load space. The motor trucks with their specially designed equipment are of great value in placing and moving poles, the handling of other heavy equipment, putting proper tension on aerial cable strands, pulling in and removing underground cable, the handling of cable reels and other heavy work that formerly taxed the strength of large gangs of men. Use of this sort of equipment greatly facilitates the work of the Ohio Bell company in gradually replacing open wire with cable on its main long distance liner. Cable, whether under ground or on poles, is comparatively free from interference due to storms, and can carry more circuits than even the largest open-wire lines. NOW OBSERVE CLOSELY!

After the bride and her maids, the most important figure of the wedding ceremony is the bride's mother. Her gown must express this importance. It must have dignity and grace; it must be worthy of her position as mother of the bride. At the same time, there is hardly a woman in the world who does not desire to wear clothes that make her look younger than she really is. So 30 the gown must have the youthful lines of the present mode, and at the same time suggest all the honor of the position it is designed to fill. That is a good deal to ask of any gown. The one in the sketch is a model that I have made several times for the mother of the bride to wear at a smart wedding ceremony. Its material is lace, so soft, so gracious, suggesting femininity in every fold. This is a fabric that is suitable to all ages, from the tiny baby to the grandmother. I have chosen a rather small close pattern, almost like Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE 'Phone: Bell, Randolph 6978 Sundays by Appointment A very pretty souvenir post-card to the editor from Rev. and Mrs. Boston J.

So I would suggest either grey, the absolutely classic color for the bride's mother, if grey is becoming; otherwise one of the new bronze browns. This latter color is lovely when it matches the hair, and almost equally lovely with grey locks. The gown is very simply draped, and the long ends of the uneven hemline give an opportunity for increasing the length of the skirt without a hint of dowdiness. The accessories to wear with it are almost as important as the gown itself. I should suggest a moderately wide brimmed hat of the finest bangkok, if the wedding be a summer one; and a turban of supple cloth of gold, if the ceremony be fixed for autumn. The narrow belt which marks the dress so definitely of 1927 is of supple gold metal. As to shoes, with the hat I should recommend them of exactly matching antelope, with antelope covered square buckles, and slightly lighter stockings. The gloves should match the stockings and be of suede in the so-called "Mousquetaire" model, wrinkled on the wrist. Jewelry should be worn and gold jewelry would be charming with the gold turban. Lelong designs this dress to be worn at the wedding by the bride's mother. It is fashioned of soft lace, simply draped, with uneven hemline and narrow gold belt. Accessories suggested are a moderately wide-brimmed hat of fine bangkok, antelope shoes and suede gloves, in matching color. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED!

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice? 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; increased, still further, under President Hing; and reached its maximum under President Johnson. For instance, most 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 living in this city in white clothing, white people, and black to black, 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 situation and not a Democratic one, because by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republics! 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 occupy papers, is held on to by the publican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having 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, word is law there, as he the special favorite Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from other Carolina, the home of other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, 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 Ku Klux Klan, theOUND of the white "sweep" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfive 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, 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 them 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 whines and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, 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 so attempted in the toiletes. 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 dances and evening for the "post-waiting 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 gee around their colored co-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 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 manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster. It has secured 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 office prints 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 by the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large caterain in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a 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 caste that bars promotions. Here, as is where, the inferior positions pass to superior employees 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 work and an excellent work 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 office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes who believe in the power of man and that dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was 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 to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying the fire and that 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 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 rebel during the Civil War, and a wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem ober or 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 touch by a single house appeared at the bureau to tell our girls 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 wrog, 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 naval, 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 discuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight for democracy was at the crossroads. We were 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, bathing rooms, and classrooms, none are ever thought of for promotions 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. Our people are still hoping for the assurance of an offer deserving of the highest honors. 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. He was remembered at the great Hamiltonian the World 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 been the national banking system which the national 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 are not 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 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 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 delitious retreat and the foxy sense of their presence. It seats two thousand diners with space t spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in 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 Garfeld 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 economite stress compels enclosure of it. By a single 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. --- Washington, 12. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the right against the segregation or 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, best 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 decision President Coolidge had hardly cold be the effort to segregate in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcus Investigation of Burcans An investigation of the executive departments and burcans 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 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. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. When Knowledge Is Useful One summer a certain boy went camping in the company of a man who was able to impart information and to stir a boy's interest in knowledge of things close at hand. He used to pick bugs from the ground and use them for a text in an offhand discussion of the basic facts of biology. With no apparatus save a canoe and a drowsy river, he was able to explain the principles of buoyancy, air pressure, and many other of the main facts of physics—facts that the boy never forgot. Though the boy learned without knowing that he was learning, he acquired more real education in a few weeks than from his entire course in high school. Looking back on that summer travel light and take only what is most useful. You don't try to carry a cord of wood and pile it up because you are going to need a few sticks. and others spent in camping, that boy often thinks how terrible it would be if one didn't learn any more when camping than in school. One would start knowing that he must have a canoe and a tent. But he would pick out a bunch of canvas, not stopping to ask whether it is a big tent or a little one. It might be twice as big and burdensome as needed; but if one hadn't learned how to select intelligently, he would take it along; likewise, maybe too much flour and not enough bacon. The main idea would be to carry everything possible. In cutting wood for a fire, one would not pause to consider whether it is to be a big fire for warmth, a small fire of dry twigs to make coals to cook over, or of green twigs for a smoke against insects. One would know only that it is necessary to have tents, food, and wood in camp. Hence one would bring these together without applying intelligence or discrimination. Of course no one camps long without learning to But in school we still make our selection of mentar provisions with a lack of intelligence that in camp would be unbelievable. A boy goes and fetches all the Latin he can carry and puts it in a heap all helter-skelter. Then he goes and piles another heap of history. Similarly, he brings in an unselected load of geometry or English literature. No wonder much of it is useless! THE FASHION WEEKLY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL CALLS FOR PRETTILY MADE GINGHAM FROCKS THE LITTLE BOOKS RESPLENDENT dress is undoubtedly forepoised for autumn and the coming winter. The tendency toward greater elegance is evidenced throughout the new showings. This elaboration of the mode extends to daytime as well as evening theme. The impressive note in every collection of advance styles is the opulence of the fabrics employed in their making. Such velvets! So sheer one can "draw them through a ring," so indescribably lustrous, so colorful—the new chestnut and leaf brownies are especially effective. Competing with these alluring velvets are sumptuous metal weaves of every sort. The glint and glitter of gold and silver pervades the entire fabric realm from sports woolens and skirts made of supply metal cloth, which has been finely plaited, are among autumn's thrilling new modes. They are for daytime wear, too—bridge parties, afternoon teas and such. This gorgeous item is shown in the picture posed by dainty Mary Philbin, who won her chance and made good in Hollywood in a beauty FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL PRETTILY MADE YET but a few days and the familiar "Oh dear, there goes the school bell" refrain will be ringing through the house. To mother the "call to arms" is also sounded, which means a rush to the sewing room, to make up school clothes fast as machine wheel will whirr. It is at this time that mothers find gingham their best friend. For school the child needs a fabric that will stand frequent tubbings. The beauty of gingham is that it always emerges without losing its original fresh crispness, and best of all it "wears like iron." A child may outgrow a gown of gingham but seldom does she outwear it. In making up gingham the material should always be shrunk. It may be put through water and dried in the sun without injury to color or fabric. It adds so to the prestige of gingham this season, the fact that it comes in such lovely one-tone effects as well as in the staple checks and plaids. GAZETT Subscribe a contest some very few years ago. Posed over this skirt is a blouse of black crepe with rows of metal braid as shown. This costume is typical of the new modes for formal daytime wear. Other fetching styles include transparent velvet with an applique of gold motifs. Sometimes the lustrous velvet or satin (satin is as prominent as velvet) dresses have no trimming save a metal girdle or belt lavish in detail and with, perhaps, a conspicuous buckle. Varying the style of the metal skirt with the fabric blouse is that of the finely plaited transparent velvet skirt (preferably black) with a metal novelty blouse. This blouse may be of metal cloth entire or of a silk and metal weave. The element of color enters into the metal blouse in enchanting tones and tints which are artfully worked into the very weave. For instance if one have a deep wine-colored velvet skirt, bronzed wine color will also characterize the metal fabric blouse. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1937, by Western News Association. OOL CALLS FOR THE GINGHAM FROCKS The little girl in the picture is wearing a plain one-tone gingham in a soft leaf green shade trimmed with darker green and white. The frock is charmingly smocked in green mercerized thread to match the darker tone. Color schemes, which employ several shades as demonstrated in the instance of this attractive gingham frock, are all the rage—a hint to sewing mothers. This theory that two colors are better than one, or many degrees of the same color, if you please, is worthy of being put into practice not only for washable gingham and the like but in making up wool crepes, jersey cloths and crepe de chines as well. The straight-down-from-the-shoulder line is the favorite styling. Considerable fagoting is used, often done with very bright threads. A one-tone with a plaid gingham is often fagoted together. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, by Western Newspaper Union.) E After Reading WILBERFORCE. When the much-heralded "Brusseaux investigation of Wilberforce University" was announced, some months ago, comparatively few of the great mass of our people throut the country, who heard of the contemplated action, knew that the Combined Normal and Industrial (State) Department at Wilberforce, although a part of the university, was controlled by the state of Ohio which was represented on its board of trustees by five members, appointed by the governor of Ohio; three members, appointed by the A. M. E. Church connection and one ex-officio member—the president of the university. Fewer members of the race throut the country seem to know that there has not been any (Brusseaux) investigation of Wilberforce University which is controlled by the A. M. E. Church connection, the Combined Normal & Industrial (State) Department of the university excepted. The university's board of trustees, all appointed by the A. M. E. Church connection, did not permit any (Brusseaux) investigation. His activity, however, resulted in the state auditor of Ohio ordering a thoro investigation of the state department at Wilberforce by a state examiner who, but a few weeks preceding the date of Auditor Tracy's order, had completed a careful examination of it reporting, as he also did after his re-examination on the state auditor's order at the request of Brusseaux, everything in good shape. No dishonesty, crookedness or wrong-doing of any kind was found and the board of trustees and superintendent, the controlling power of the State Department, were again given a "clean bill of health". What Brusseaux started out to do, as we have indicated in the foregoing, he never succeeded in doing because he failed to bring about the investigation of the university proper which was sought and this fact should be, as it is not, generally known. In a determined effort to still further promote the interests of the state department, its board of trustees, at a meeting held at Wilberforce, the last week in May, dropped two teachers, one instructor, two clerks and several minor employees for the good and welfare of the department and not for the reason heralded through the country that they had directly or indirectly furnished information of any kind to the state examiner or any other person investigating the department. One of these teachers was reinstated to please the State Auditor who on a number of occasions had indicated real friendship and interest in the progress of the department. Some, if not all, of these former employees of the department circulated untrue reports which reached daily newspapers of the state and members of the state board of control, with the result that the payroll of the department was held up for several weeks, this summer—until certain members of the board of control forced the election of a clerk to fill the vacancy created by the dropping of T. C. Carter, executive clerk. Thereupon, these same members of the board of control caused it to be publicly announced in the press of certain daily papers of the state that payrolls of the department would be held up until all of the dismissed employees were reinstated by the board of trustees. It is this phase of the "Wilberforce" troubles that is treated at length in a letter from Wilberforce on the first page of this paper. The attorney general of Ohio has notified the board of control that it has no legal right to hold up the payroll of the State Department at Wilberforce. The result is just what we anticipated and that is harmony now reigns supreme with the board of trustees of the State Department at Wilberforce free to go on with its earnest efforts to build up the institution and without the meddling interference of cheap politicians, a few of whom at least are members of the state board of control. The Gazette commends in the strongest possible manner the determination and continued effort of the board not only to improve conditions but also to materially raise the standard of teaching and the quality of service rendered by the official staff of the State Department, under the direction of its very efficient superintendent, Mr. Richard C. Bundy, who is entitled to more credit than anyone else for the splendid progress and showing it is making, these days. THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of men who have 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.
