A SPLENDID IDEA Suggested by Dr. Joe Thomas—Let Every One Fall in Line and Send City Manager Hopkins at Once the Letter He Suggests. Cleveland, O., Nov. 27, '27. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—The school of nursing (and for internes) at our city hospital, ought to be regarded as any other city school, by our people, too. For it is a city school, pure and simple, just as is Central High or any of the other local schools. What would our people say and do if the principal of Central High or any other city school would bar our boys and girls from school? And they have ever really thought of the city school of nursing as a public school. But the city does control it, just as it does any other public school. Why then do we vote for men who let Dudley Blossom par our children from the city public school, the city hospital school of nursing? There must be no let-up in school and must be integrated into the public-school of nursing and interne training at city hospital. No compromise will be permitted that will 'railroad' their children off to themselves, segregate their own cattle. Our girls and boys must be put in this public school just as they are put in our other city public school. All city civic bodies and the pastors of our universities to join hands with us to do away with hands with us to do away in its school of interne training and nursing for it is robbing our girls and boys of an equal opportunity to prepare themselves for the great battles of life. Don't look at Gary, Ind., but look at home—at Cleveland's color-line city school of indie and nurse training that is implying privileges as taxpayers and citizens. How long are you going to be blind to this truth? Come! Wake up and write and send the following letter: To City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins: Sir: For the good of the city of Cleveland, I urge you to drop City Manager from your cabinet Jan. 1, 1928. In a city host pital interne and nurses' school the sons and daughters of ALL tax payers and citizens and stop barring Afro-Americans. Sign your name here..... House number.... Street.....

To Miss Jane Hunter and her able corps of women at the Phillis Wheatley did everything in their power by their kindness and helpfulness to make the weary hours of the hospital less painful for me. To Mrs. and Mrs. W. B. Sutherland and members of St. Andrews P. E. church who have not forgotten my husband, and mother, Mrs. Fannie Benson, and by their prayers and attention wished me God speed.

Morally and Politically Weak—The Rich and the Poor Under the Prohibition Amendment— What Our Voters Should Do—Hypocrisy and Bluff, Prejudice and Snobbery—Interesting! Jersey City, N. J.—The Negro voters should not be deceived by the Senatorial discussion on prohibition, eighteen amendment, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. The Republican party has had the opportunity to enforce the Civil War amendments and up to this day, it has no serious intention of doing so. Republican party leaders have unwieldy requirements to give all racial groups equal franchise and protection. Hypocrisy and bluff have rendered it almost impossible. The prejudice and snobbery of Democratic southerners have greater weight with the Republican heads of governmental departments than all the Mason and Dixon line. Then, too, unanimally Colored men for a reason, a with a pleading satisfaction with "Jim-crowism," shameful segregation and discrimination. Senator Carter Glass will oppose, with all of his might any measure to protect Negroes of the South, but Senator Edge of New Jersey and others may write strongly about the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments now, but will lapse into suspicious silence about them as soon as the Presidential election is over. We must have action and not words. The U. 5. is morally and politically wrong, and the law any group of any size opposes. The ability of white America to give the nation a stable, just and fair government is lacking. The eighteenth amendment was never passed to do away with drinking. It is the chief aim of bootlegism and graft. The breaking up of breweries run under control and taxation by legal authority and the substitution therefore of household breweries, is a great benefit to the poor wealth to soak in liquor and subject the poor to humiliation and persecution, has made the prohibition amendment a hated farce.

Meeting With Splendid Success in Their Concert Work — Featuring Spirituals. --- Paris, France — Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown gave their opening recital at the Maison Gaveau, several weeks ago, to an audience that filled the 1700 available seats and all possible standing room. The recital was such a success that the artists have been inspired to make a tour of the leading European cities, Robeson's first number, "Wade in de Water," drew forth a hearty round of applause, but when he later sang "Go Down Moses," the applause besides being an accomplished pianist, so a singer of no mean ability, and joining Robeson, sang "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," the last number on the program and brought down the house. Throughout the performance the artists were called upon for encores and at the close of the program most of the audience kept their seats and left only after they had been appeased with three numbers on the program and the numbers on the program were: "Deep River," "Water Boy," "Didn't It Rain," "Little David," and "Every Time I Feel de Spirit." Many members of the Colored colony were present, among them being Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lawrence, Louia V. Jones of Cleveland, Ohio, U. S. A., Roland Hayes and his six-year-old Ward Jordan, Katherine Yarborough, Patricia Hollis, Collins and Cora V. Harris, Gladys Spikes, Becca Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Nettie Crompton, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Hudgins, Messrs. Rudolph Dunbar, W. A. Johnson, Clyde Glass, Roland Smith, Joe Alex and J. Bingham.

Robeson and Brown, who are being managed by Walter K. Varney, are doing much to popularize the spirituals.

Was Arrested and a Charge Made Against Him By Police—His Damage Suit. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Cleveland, Nov. 30, '27. Dear Sir:—On Sept. 27, I was driving home on Carnegie Ave. at E. 89th St. when an auto occupied by three or four whites ran into my car, three or four turnings, turned game over and knocked me unconscious. About thirty minutes after the accident, after some passers-by had been able to get me out of the wreck and place me on the curb, an emergency squad from the eleventh precinct at E. 105th and Euclid Ave. arrived. Being dazed, I was taken into the station house by Sergeant Smith. Before any charge was placed on me, the sergeant had a talk with the lieutenant, and a charge of careless driving and intoxication was recorded. There was no witness present at the time of the accident and the policeman arrived thirty minutes afterward. The case was up for hearing, on Wednesday, and there being no witnesses present to the charge, whom having been served with notice, we court dismissed the case "for want of prosecution." again. Its manager, Mrs. O. A. Taylor, was in court. After the case was dismissed she left the court room, greatly disappointed, not being able to get a story announcing that Sidney B. Thompson had been convicted of the charge. I sued The Cleveland Call in common pleas court, a few weeks ago, for statements made in that paper concerning my lodge connections, and in time will prove that the statement it made was untrue.

More or less discussion has been provoked by the statement of detectives employed by the Elks to the effect that they "discovered the existence of a black auxiliary to the Ku Klux Klan in Gary, Ind." This "black auxiliary" is made up of "jim-crow" Negroes" and are nothing but W. F. N.'s. They were allied with the klan in Springfield and Dayton when our people there were fighting "jim-crow" schools, several years ago, and are to be found opposing the vital interests of their own people wherever prejudiced whites' money and promises of positions, etc. are to be found. As we have often said, they are the bane of the race. THE ENTERING WEDGE. We call the attention of our local Federation of Women's clubs and the local N. A. A. C. P. church to the fact that Miss Irene Pennington (white), supervisor of public library clubs, has organized a segregated poetry club for our younger girls and a segregated art club for our older boys who use the Woodland branch library, and has doubtless done this same thing at other local public library branches. This ought not to be and our people should see to it that it is discontinued immediately because our local libraries are public institutions just like our public schools. Therefore, segregation in the organization of clubs at the branch libraries is wrong in principle and only an entering wedge to separate public schools, and the sooner we wake up to this fact and act promptly and wisely the better it is going to be for those of the race in this community in the not too far distant future. Segregation feeds upon itself and no one ought to know this better than those, black or white, who advocate it. Miss Pennington may mean well and may not be all to blame because there are those among us, who have come to the city in the last decade, that are use in segregation in the section from whence they came and at times make the harmful mistake of asking for separate organizations of one kind and another in our local public institutions. They seem unable to realize the harm they are doing. Therefore, it is the duty of our Federation of Women's clubs and local N. A. A. C. P. branch to interest themselves in this matter at once to the extent of making it clear to both Miss Pennington and any of our misguided people, who patronize the Woodland or any other branch library in this community, that they are making a serious mistake when they organize separate clubs based on race lines. If this does not prove sufficient, then drastic action must be resorted to because there should be no place in our public institutions for those who would promote harmful color or race lines. --- The High Cost of Prejudice!

Under the will he made in New York just before he died, recently, Flowers created a $60,000 trust fund for his daughter, Verna Lee Flowers, and the residue after bequests to his father and mother, and sisters, was left to his wife, including their palatial $50,000 home here. Atlanta's Tribute to Tiger. Atlanta's Tribute to Tiger.

Such a fighter was "Tiger" Flowers, whose sudden death in New York, following a minor operation, came as a shock to the athletic world and as a grievous blow to the tens of thousands of friends this year, those possessed by race in his native Georgia. * * * Literally thousands of messages of condolence poured into Atlanta Saturday from all parts of the country. The Constitution received many dozen messages from prominent sportsmen in all parts of the country, while the Flowers family was deluged with messages of sympathy and comfort. The floral offerings sent from all parts of the country and from many citizens of Atlanta to the nation were artfully engulfed the Flowers home. —Paul Stevenson (white), in Atlanta (Ga.)

Philadelphia, Pa.—Howard University, even Washington, D.C. has at last won the defeated Lincoln University's team on Thanksgiving, 10 to 9. More than 15,000 saw the contest. Howard made two touchdowns in the first half and one in the final period. The goal was kicked from the second touchdown. Lincoln threatened the Howard goal only twice. The Howard goal, has won but one game. Wilberfield has won them, 1 to 0, after Howard had made a touchdown. In the first game of the season, Bluefield Institute beat Howard by a score of 19 to 0. Played to a Tie Columbus, O.—The annual football classic between the teams of Wilberforce University and W. Va. Institute was well played by both teams to a 12 to 12 tie, there being a number of exceptional plays. The large crowd in attendance was unusually enthusiastic when the Wilberforce队 piled up a score of 6 early in the first quarter of the game. This was followed later with a touchdown by the W. Va. team. Wilberforce's second score of 6 was followed similarly by an equal gain for W. Va. Attendance was pleased with the hard clean play of both teams. Attendance, 7,000, Wilberforce thus closed another one of its most successful seasons, having won five games, tied two and lost one by forfeit.

Season of Black and Accessories Every Woman Knows Need of Decorations That Add to Her Appearance. With a season of black facing us, all black, black with color, and that still smarter interpretation, black with rhinestones or other buckles of fanciful design, accessories become more and more important, asserts a fashion authority in the Kansas City Star. Paris houses have so stressed them that every woman feels the need of a flower for her dress, an appropriate neck chain, a bracelet of distinction or a handsome buckle as important as a pair of gloves. Indeed, the bag has taken almost the place in the costume the gloves once occupied. 872 Perhaps all this may be traced to the ensemble idea which is as fine a basis for good dressing as ever has been presented to women. A perfect ensemble will transform a woman from mediocrity to distinction. When Parisian designers design accessories they have in mind a perfect costume on which these are to furnish high lights, decorative, colorful and chic. Consider the Callot shawl, a circular shawl of gold lace that reaches the hemline of the short skirt, certainly a shawl that enhances the beauty of the evening gown of either black or color. The Callot scarf of gold brocade edged with gold lame, has the same delightful effect on the dancing frock. Chanel's lace kerchief was designed to soften the new necklines, some of them square and wide; others of a near Victorian roundness. Each unit of the ensemble is tuned to the same pitch, or the result is not harmony. It matters little whether the wrap be long or short, straight or of the swinging cape variety; what does matter is that a close relationship be preserved, a relationship that includes the occasion. No woman, no matter how elegantly clad, is ever well dressed unless her clothes are appropriate to the occasion on which they are worn. ```markdown ``` Although black deserves mention in capitals, since it is smart, colors are really typical of the times. The three tonal blues sponsored by Lelong and called "L. L. blues" are important, as well as all blues. Also important are all shades of beige and brown, colors that are present in all types of dresses, including evening gowns. The use of these shades in evening gowns is a new departure in rich amber shades and old ivory tones. Among the greens, those which tend toward a yellowish cast and the cool green peculiar to ferns must be mentioned as leaders. Pineneedle is a green that has many followers. One is apt to find these satisfying shades coupled with the shadow-like grays in which so many of the new furs are found. Decries Mode Changes American Women Demand American Women Dominant There is no such things as "the prevailing fashion" or "the prevailing mode" in women's clothes, declares Madelene Vionnet, famous Paris dressmaker, in the Delineator Magazine. Mme. Vionnet strongly deplores the constant cry of American women for what they term "new modes." "The mode," says the Parisian couturier, "no longer consists for me of anything more than the best manner of draping a given fabric over a given woman, so that each shall show off the other to the best possible advantage. Every woman ought to have her own manner of dress, her 'mode'—and this is the mode which I should be only too happy to seek for each if she would only follow it. Women ought only to ask of our skill and our experience the ability to bring out their own selves, not to create for them a uniform of which they will rapidly force us to constant change. Women, according to their age and their natural conformation, may be divided into four or five well-defined categories and it is very rare for the mode of one season to dress decently more than one or two of these types." Mime. Vlionnet characterizes the mode of Americans as exacting. Of it she says: "It must have novelty. No one is content to say of a frock, 'it is beautiful.' She must also add, 'it is new.'" The suede belt is to be an important item of sports apparel this winter. It is usually worn at a low wrist line, drawn singly around to hold full of blouse or one-piece dress. 100 The newest of tricks in the sweater world, says the Woman's Home Companion, is to work a cross-stitch design on a plain knitted background to form a kind of all-over pattern. For instance the modernist effect of this smart sweater for a school or college girl is really achieved by taking big wool cross stitches in harmonizing shades on the mesh of the wool. A beige sweater with a design in shades of brown and orange is rather stunning; shades of bright and dark blue on a French blue ground are also good. Such a sweater should be worn with a skirt of plain color to match one of the tones of the sweater. We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are remaining eight today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature 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 public liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced.

Styles in this whole department ofdress come and go with the whims and fancies tn others, and swing back and forth be- tween as wide extremes as they do in silhouette, design and detail. In the new era of wealth fortunes fre irrested in splendid sable, er- mine, mink and other wraps, which are worn by women of fashion for every occasion except that of active sports It Is no longer endugh that @ fur coat be just a coat, declares a fashion writer” in the New York Times. It is expected to be as dis finctive as a gown, and even more Is demanded of it because of the cost. And from whatever part of the globe ‘the pelts come, It is in Paris that they are worked up into the smart- est, most artistic creations. All the French couturiers include furs and fur-trimmed wraps” in their collec: tlons, and “Max"—otherwise Mine. LeRoy—is a recognized authority in their design. In her atelfer on one of the fash Jonable boulevards she has set a staze as a background, an interior in pearl gray, aguinst which are displayed her new compositions: Some of these this Year were most unusual, reflecting the, season's styles in diagonal lines, complex mosales and striking com binations. ‘The coats made all of fur are particularly interesting because in these the designer avoids ,the ob- vious and handles fur with as much apparent nonchalance as if it were an ordinary dress ‘fabric. Priceless pelts are put together like tiles or little mosaic patterns, making ‘the silhouette of a coat or wrap as im- portant as that of the’ gown. ‘The number of tiny strips of fur sewn to- gether to form one of these artistle ereations represents in Itself an achievement, and the finished article is worth a king's ransom, Zebra Stripes in Fashion. ‘The sensation of the fur season presented by LeRoy ts the zebra coat, ‘This ts a kid pelt dyed to represent a zebra, and a few coats are made of the genuine skin. ‘The sharply lined black and white make, of course, a very flashy garment, one also not easily classified, since it may be worn for a great variety of occasions, from sports to evening wear. ‘This novelty fs finding a warm welcome among the younger set,, Another strikingly new ‘coat is made of a soft fur dyed ina rich shade of orange-beize with a deep shawl collar of brown fox. The shaw! collar, wider and deeper than ever before, is Mme, LeRoy's own particular contribution to the sea- son's mode. A successful example of this is shown in an evening wrap of rare beauty. It {s a wrap-around dol- man coat of ermine, quite simple tn line, showing the fine quality of the fur. ‘The coat sleeves, which are ae | Lt ae || Hy rh gates) |_| Ea om yA .

In it the skins are joined in narrow strips. ‘The sleeves are plain, with no cuffs, and the voluminous shawl collar is made of fox dyed in the same shade as the coat. A shawl collar of this kind is used on far the greater number of wraps and is es- Declally good on the wrap-around coat model, Usually it 1s made of a fur contrasting with that of the coat, but some of the bandsomest wraps shown by the house of Max and others have coat, collar and cuffs all of one fur.

Offerings of new furs are so varied that any of several may be accepted ‘as correct in mode. ‘The last word In elegance and luxury ts an evening wrap of white ermine with a front band trimming, a wide and deep shaw: collar and cuffs of Russian sable, tt contrast to this is an all-day coat of leopard skin, on which ts a_ knee deep hand, a round collar and wide cuits of fitch, In between these ex treme types are many others, new an! smart, designed to suit the require ments and style of women of widely different tastes, Among them are the daytime wraps In fur, One that ts the epitome of dignity and smartness is made of broadtail of a fine quality which is almost as supple as velvet A new detail in this design is the sleeve, which fs wide, but is drawn in to a narrow wristband and left un trimmed. ‘The collar is a stunning-af fair of genuine sable made in the pop ular shawl model, and extends down one side to the bottom of the coat. ‘This is one of the best models, In it is Mustrated the lavish use of sable, i ee, at, i y 4 Wa } ga tt a vr Sb 4 I y in which fortunes are apparently be ing invested. Another of the luxury furs ts East- ern mink. ‘This, too, 1s used in a par ticularly skillful manner in the mod- els from Max. ‘The lines are seldom straight from collar to hem, but are fitted in diagonal sections in panels, borders and rippling borders. One of the most conspicuous creations in fur is by Mme. LeRoy in an entirely dif ferent style trom those of the prevail- Ing mode. It Is a decidedly feminine model—a long cape of especially se- lected mink skins. ‘They are put to- gether to form lines that resemble tucks in curves, dipping at the back and sweeping ‘upward toward the opening in front. ‘Toward the bottom the cape flares and 1s finished in a wide scalloped edge, which ts much longer at the back. An amusing and cleverly done novelty 1s an enormous bow of the «ink with crosswise bands of the fur.

Sports Fur Coats. Fur coats named “sports” are un- commonly interesting this season. ‘They Inck the bizarre tone of past years and are much finer, both in Quality and type, and serviceable for many different occasions. Many “new” furs are presented—being the hides of the same familiar animals given novel names, Madeleine Vionnet uses a sheared goat skin dyed a golden belge. Its wide, flaring cuffs and a diagonal collar, tapering to the waist, are of goat hide that Is unsheared. One hears and sees a great deal about shaved lamb, which Is extremely pop- ular for sports and daytime coats in youthful models, ‘Yo the possessors of Hudson seal coats comes the assurance that Hud- son seal is to be brought back into yogue as a relief from the flood of fancy furs with whieh we have been deluged, Henri Vergne of Paris puts collars ‘and cuffs of the flat brown striped furs on his Hudson seal coats, just as does Grunwaldt, who farther elaborates a black coat with a ladder design of mink tails running from col- lar to hem on the center back. In spite of the great variety of nov- elty furs introduced the last few sea- sons one saw at the fashionable Paris gathering places last winter prin- cipally coats of mink, According to the French furrlers, this is due to the Innate sense of thrift of the French- women, who demand that fur coats must Wear indefinitely, and ts not to be taken as a guide for America, where such a fragile but attractive fur as shaved lamb, American broad- tail, obtains the vogue that its beauty warrants. Hither in gray or beige, with self-collar or matehing fox, this fur makes many of the season's ‘most charming coats, One of these, a straight coat in light beige broadtail, had the shawl col"r and all edges bordered with an Inchand-e-hait band of the same skin in brown. This same brown encircled the single deep patch pocket on the right side and also made a large flower for the lapel. ‘THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1927. i ee a, irate SENATOR BINGHAM WRITES! The leading editorial this week is written for us by Senator Hiram W. Bingham (Rep.) of Connecticut whose address delivered at a dinner In his honor in Hawall was reported as follqws ina Honolulu newspaper: “At “the beginning of his talk, which blazed with indignation over the Insolence of the Nordic toward those whom he looks upon as his inferiors, Senator Bingham made the statement: “I am, I believe, the only Ameri- can’ representative of government Who has ever refused to enter the doors of the Army and Navy Club in Manila.” Seator Bingham went on to say that during his recent visit to the Philippine capital he was invited to be » guest of honor at a banquet at the Army and Navy Club. He in- quired if some of the prominent Fil- fpinos, such as Sergio Osmena, pres- ident of the Philippine Senate, and Manuel Quezon, speaker of the house, were also to be present, “Certainly not,” was the indignant reply, and it was explained to the senator that no Filipinos are per- mitted to enter the sacred portals of the Army and Navy Club. “Then I am sorry, gentlemen,” replied Senator Bingham, “but ‘I shall not be able to accept your in- vitation. | “tT want to tell you right now,” said Senator Bingham, “that if a al ‘ozen of the prominent white people of Manila were to invite a few of the euitured and prominent Filipinos to be thelr guests at a tea, the axita- tion for. Philippine independence would die right then and there.” Senator Bingham also made the statement that three commanding generals of the U.S. army forces in the Philippines had refused to recog- nize or call on. Lt.-Gov.-Gen. Gil- more (now acting. Governor since the death of Gen. Wood.) “I want to know why,” declared the senator and “I'm going to find out why.” ‘The Connecticut senator was at white heat In his denunciation both Of white missionaries and the white business. men, British as well as American, who go to the Orient with a fecling of superiority over the na- tive inhabitants and only for the pur- pose of enriching themselves by any Methods. available. He spoke con- temptuously of those “whose palms are greased so that everything they get hold of will stick.” To illus- trate the point he was making of the snobbery ‘of the white man in his contacts with the Oriental, Senator Bingham told of calling upon a wealthy and highly respected Chi- Rese in Shanghal, a graduate of Yale University whom he had known for years before and whose wife was a graduate of one of the finest girl- Schools in America. Their two sons were also Yale graduates and their two daughters had been educated in first-class American schools. ‘The Chinese desired to cash a check for some $1800 to meet his payroll for the week, and Bingham accompanied him Yo the Bank of the International Banking Corporation. The Chinese went to the paying teller’s window and presented the check to the white cashier for payment. “What the hell do you mean com- ing in here?” snarled the gentleman- ly Nordic. “Get the hell out of here, you damned Chinaman and go down to the other end of the building with the rest of the Chinamen.” ‘The Chinese made no reply but quietly withdrew. Bingham told of visiting the parks of the city—parks on Chinese soil in a city where Chi- nese pay 60 per cent. of the taxes. And in those parks, he said, are signs reading, ‘No Chinaman or dogs allowed.” Turning then from the Orient to Hawaii, where he was born and reared and whose people are his own people, Senator Bingham utter- ed the warning, “there's beginning { be too much of that kind of thing right here.” POSTSCRIPT With Senator Bingham’s views, the APRO-AMBRICAN stands. in complete accord. We only remind him’ that the same “arrogant suob- ery, studied disourtesy and as- sumption of Nordic superiority” are to be found in the United States, in his home state of Connecticut and the capital at Washington. We are happy to note his reaction to race prejudice in Hawaii, Philippines and China, and invite Iiim to note that blacks as well as browns and yel- lows are victims of it.—Baltimore (Md, -Atro-American.

As to the rel- ative style prestige of novelty flat pelts versus showy long-halred furs for trimming, the mode casts a Sifty- Gity vote. It therefore resolves itself Into a matter of individual preference as to whether the new coat shall be dis- tinguished with clever touches of calfskin, shayed lamb, spotted leop- ard, mole or ermine or whether it Shall be lavishly collared, euffed and bordered with tawny fox, wolf, badg- er, or fiteh. ‘The models in this illustration pre- sent the subject of the fur-trimmed coat from two distinetly different angles. A very swagger type Is de- Bned by the mode to the left. For its development the stylist chooses an ex- quisitely fine beige duvetyn.

The new beaded frocks, too, stress sparkling rows of crystal fringe. How- ever, it is the wide colorful silken fringes which count most of all. Mllustrative of the novel treatment accorded fringe is this charming day- time gown to the right in the pleture. This unusual model was designed for that favorite of favored film stars, Gertrude Olmstead.

It is said that lusurlously furred cloth wraps are proving a formidable competitor to the all-fur coat, It seems as if there is no limit to the extravagance of furs bestowed on cloth models this season. Spectacular effects are at: tained by positioning fur in unique ways upon sleeve aud for generous collars and for unusual hemline trim: mings. ‘This novelty of fur placement together with the showiness of the fur itself is emphasized throughout cloak styling.

Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three ‘years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the consti- tutionality of the law and it has been MOBS. Section $276. A collection of peo- ple assembled for an unlawful pur- pose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over oth- er persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a “mob” for the purpose of this chap- ter. An act of violence by a mob upon ‘the body of any person shall consti- tute a “lynching” within the mean- ing of this chapter. (93 v, 161 2.) Section 6279. The term “serious injury,” for the purpose of this chap- ter, shall include such inquiry as per- manently or temporarily disables the person recelying it from earning a livelihood by manual labor.

A person’ taken from officers ot justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, mis: siles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to ‘exceed one thousand ‘dollars 4s damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such as- ‘sault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the in- Jury received therefrom is serious, a Sum not exceeding one thousand dol- lars; or, if such injury result in per- manent disability, to earn a liveli- hood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal represen- tative of a person dying from injur- ies received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such Injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars dam- ages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the mainten- ance of the family and education oi the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow re- ceiving an amount equal to a child's share, If there be no widow or min- or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate, Such sum 90 recov- ered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject’ to any of his abilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury trom a mob attempt- ing to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representa- tives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 ¥. 162 6.) Section 6284.

Several other north- ern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein.
