BLOCTON, ALA., NOTES FAITHFULNESS AND HONESTY Well Rewarded in the Case of F. "Pat." Carey, Former Cleveland Street-car Motorman, for Years a Resident of Detroit. F. "Pat." Carey is in the city circulating among his many friends. Thirty-three years ago, Carey was a popular motorman on the Central Ave. line in this city. Then he went to Detroit, where he worked for twenty-seven years, most of the time as a motorman. During the eighties he eighth failed him in part. Carey, promoted to higher service by the street-car company, was brought into immediate contact daily with thousands of dollars of its money. Result: When he left his employ, he was given three thousand dollars and other favors including the check for one hundred and fifty dollars handed him, last week, to visit this city. Even with impaired sight, Carey is a picture of health and property and added, O. I. Wim fixed. This sure tickles greatly his host of friends and acquaintances in Cleveland. He will return to Detroit, the middle of next week. A FORMER COUNTY CLERK Critizes the City Manager's Bond Policy—Hopkins' Act "Raw"—Still Loyal to the Rich. Editor Plain City Manager—Sir: At the last election City Manager Hopkins asked for a bond issue of $30,000,000 to be used for additional pavement and sewer extension in connection with the proposed $60,000,000 boulevard along the lake front. That bond issue was defeated at the election. Before even the official count was certified Manager Hopkins has a resolution issued and passed the City Council authorizing an issue of $1,500,000 worth of bonds without the consent of the people to be used for the very purpose that but ten days before the people had voted against. I do not recall in the history of the city when any mayor, manager or City Council has so flagrantly tried to defeat the express wish of the people. To circumvent or treat with contempt the voice of the people as expressed at the polls is dangerous to the very principles of self-government. The Ball Field Now it's the Cleveland ball club that's reaching its hands into the city treasury. Mr. Hopkins steps forward and shows his good spirit and disregard for public funds—by offering to build a stadium for the small sum of $1,000,00 or more. If the new owners of the ball club want larger grounds, Mr. Hopkins will build the Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds and other major league baseball parks, the public or the private interests who are the ones who cash in? Let's let the same persons build one here. If Mr. Bradley, the Van Sweringens, et al. would have a modern mammoth stadium like them, G. LOLDSMITH. Our readers should remember that no Afro-American is permitted to play in the big league clubs that will use the million dollar stadium Mr. Hopkins wants the taxpayers of this city to build for the local American League ball club. This should be remembered by the Davis Amendment, next spring. Why should WE vote for a million of bonds to build a stadium?—Editor. SAINT ANDREW CELEBRATED And Senior Warden, Ex-State Senator John P. Green, Honored at a Banquet—Bishop Leonard's Sermon. On the evening of Nov. 30, '27, St. Andrew's Episcopal church of this city celebrated the day of its patron saint—Saint Andrew—by giving a banquet in honor of the day and her senior warden, ex-State Senator John P. Green, now nearing his birth. He wished to imbibe his twenty-eight year of unbroken morning attendance, without being late, at some Christian church or other religious service. Covers were laid for one hundred and fifty-one persons, and notwithstanding that the wind and rain were almost prohibitive, yet the tables were all filled, not to mention a coterie of beautiful ladies who efficiently served the bountiful repast. Rev. Fr. W. B. Suthern, Jr., after relating a honeymoon and lauding Mr. Green's record, a knowledge of which, he said, was now nationwide, introduced him to the audience. Senator Green spoke in humorous vein for a brief period, disclaiming any right to special praise for his record and said that if he could be punctual as a justice of the peace for nine years and at court for nearly fifty-eight years, it was a small matter for him to attend church punctually and give thanks to Almighty God and give thanks to Almighty God to do so. In concluding his remarks Mr. Green recited a poem entitled "Sall on and on, On," which greatly enthused the audience. In the church, immediately after the banquet, Rt. Rev. W. A. Leonard, D. D., Episcopal bishop of Ohio preached a most eloquent and helpful sermon in which he paid a splendid tribute to Senator Green, saying among other things, in substance, that Mr. Green's record, as a churchman and a citizen, has been honorable and helpful to all. The Indiana Republicans at Gary are sure "running true to form", these days. They are "hooked up" with the Ku Klux Klan in an effort to promote "jim crow" schools for that little city. "The Old Reliable" Gazette claims to be the first to name U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis as the Republican candidate for President, next year. This it did, many months ago, and we are certainly pleased greatly to see how nicely the Republican decks of Ohio have already been cleared for his candidacy. He will have the undivided support of Ohio Republicans. This is as it should be. The San Diego N. A. A. C.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NOTHING NEW--SAME OLD"STORY" NO REFERENCE TO HIS ADMINISTRATION'S SEG- REGATION OF OUR CLERKS Which He Promised, Many Months Ago, to Gradually Wipe Out—Gov. "Al." Smith and the South— Senator Cole Blease Again in the "Limelight" Disfranchisement. Washington, D. D.—Galling upon Florida and the Democracy of the South to support Gov. "Al" Smith of New York, should he become the Democratic nominee for President, next year, John S. Beard, of Pensacola, Fla., former "advance agent" of the late William Jennings Bryan, is quoted as saying that there is not a possible debt but that Smith would be the solid electoral vote of the South, if he is nominated. "Because," continues Beard, "the South has not forgotten the dark days of reconstruction. The South realizes that absolute white rule and supremacy in the South demands a solid white party, and that the Democratic party is now, always has been, and always will be a white man's party." "Nuff sed!" In his annual message to the Congress, the first of the week, President Calvin Coolidge had the following (as usual) of interest to our people: "The Negro" History does not anywhere record so much progress made in the same length of time as that which has been accomplished by the Negro race in the United States since the Emancipation Proclamation. They have come up from slavery to be prominent in education, the professions, art, science, agriculture, and commerce. It is estimated that 550,000 of them are on the government payrolls, drawing about $50,000,000 each year. They have been the recipients of presidential appointments and their professional ability has arisen to a sufficiently high plane so that they have been intrusted with the entire management and control of the great veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, where their conduct has taken high rank. They have shown that they have been worthy of the encouragement they have received. Nevertheless, they are too often subjected to thoughtless and inconsiderate treatment, unworthy alike of the white or colored races. They have especially been made the target of the foul crime of lynching. For several years these acts of unlawful violence had been diminishing. In the last year they have shown an increase. Every principle of order and liberty is opposed to this crime. The Congress should enact any legislation it can under the constitution to provide for its elimination. Misinterprets the Constitution. Mustbereview the U. S. Senator Cole Blease, Democrat of South Carolina, the recently flicked across the spotlight of the Afr-Americ world of by offering to defend in the courts of his state the negligent state officials who permitted the Lowmans, members of the race, to be lynched after the state supreme court had ordered a new trial for the accused, is the latest Democrat to attempt to overturn a conviction for happy pastime which Democratic leaders are relentlessly pursuing, week in and week out. Blease declares that law which cannot be enforced ought to be repealed, because it creates a situation where law is not only disregarded, but where non-enforcement is upheld. That is why South Carolina is concerned, has been amply proven by the Lowman lynching and similar atrocities which have taken place in that state in absolute contravention of the U. S. Constitution. Upon the Senator's theory, those sections of the Constitution which guarantee trial by jury, due process of justice, and the right to be repealed. Thousands upon thousands of our people in Senator Blease's state have long since testified, mutely and otherwise, that non-enforcement reigns supreme in the Palmetto state. The Senator closed his unconstitutional discourse with a follow-up meeting after being addressed at Gov. "Al" Smith of New York, whose nomination, Blease says, means Democratic defeat: "We must let the leaders know that duck hunting and eating the food of galvanized and climatized Yankees and being entertained in homes in New York of agents and employees of Wall Street, drinking water and having a sufficient guarantee to southerners that we will be treated right."

Sift Disfranchisement. One of the 4300 resolutions presented in the House as Congress opened, the first of the week, calls for investigation of disfranchisement of southern voters. Representative G. H. Tinkham, Massachusetts Republican, said such a measure would be a step toward forcing reapportionment of congressional representation on the basis of the 1930 census. The Warren Book Co., of Staten Island, N. Y. City, is selling books of our authors. White physicians have been placed in charge of the Kansas City, Mo., "jim crow" hospital. Jack Johnson has come out for Gov. "Al" Smith for President. That settles his candidacy. "Hannah" Polpus, age 35, cook, was found to be a man when "she" died, last week, at Winchester, Va. Dr. Howard E. Young, pharmacist, has been appointed by the mayor of Baltimore, Md., a member of the jail board of that city. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has given Provident Hospital and Free Dispensary, Chicago, $55,000, toward its drive for $150,000. Marcus Garvey was paroled from Atlanta penitentiary and sent to New Orleans, last week, from whence he was deported to Jamaica, B. W. I., his native home. His first wife says he has $500,000. Relatives of Mrs. Lula Chaney, a servant who died recently, at Kansas City Mo. leaving an estate of $6,000, are suing her employer, Kathleen Fox, (white), for alleged fraud. Mrs. Chaney, they say, did not authorize the will which has been probated leaving her entire estate to her employer. Nearly 175 unmasked white brutes shot Leonard Wood, age 29, to death near Fleming, Ky., last week Tuesday, and then bu nced his eagle-snaked body. Wood had killed Marion Deaton, (white), mine boss, who had insulted two women companions of Woods. The mob had no resistance when they broke into Whitesburg jail, which was guarded by a lone woman. "SOCIAL EQUALITY" As Practiced All Over the South—One of Our Girls Kills the White Dad of Her Child. Wrightsville, Ga.—Leona Rogers, age 30, was arrested, last week Tuesday, and charged with the murder of Fred Daley, prominent business man (white), who was found short to the knee. Front of his hoo, last week Monday morning. The young woman denied the shooting and declared: "I have not seen him in ten days. He promised to give me some money to buy Christmas presents for our child, at that time, and I have not seen him since." In spite of her protest of innocence, the coroner declared she was responsible for the death of Daley and pointed out that the body were identical with hers and that the gloves found underneath the body belonged to her. The shooting and subsequent arrest of Miss Rogers but disclosed another one of the many "inter-racial associations" between white men and colored here, and sanctioned by white folks as long as it is kept under cover. The police also asked the ago he decided to abandon his colored sweetheart to marry a young woman of his own race and the choosing of his family. This caused a decided rift and is thought to have led up to the shooting. FISK GETS $12,000. Nashville, Tenn.—Fisk University, under a final settlement of the estate of Miss Emeline Cushing, (white), of Boston, received $12,000. When she died in 1895 she left $18,000 and expressed a desire to aid our education, but without specifying what schools should receive the money. After allowing the $18,000 to increase by drawing interest until it reached $36,000 three institutions, Fisk, Atlanta University, and Calhoun Ala. School, were approved.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT! FRANK B. WILLIS OF OHIO. What is it “jim crow Negroes,” “lack Klansmen” won't do, to pro- mote their selfish ends or to cater to others with a view to doing that very thing? S| ae Will Assistant Secretary Robert W. Bagnall, of the N. A. A. C. P., please tell the local branch “how to expand" its work here in this city? He fs to be in Cleveland, Sun- day, and the branch sure needs that Information. : ST ‘The bonded indebtedness of the city of Cleveland has been increased nearly thirty million dollars in the last four years under City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and the city man- ager plan of local government, and your taxes have doubled in that pe- vine ob tine: On Nov. 27, '27, the U. 8. su- preme court upheld a lower court decision invaliding University Hets. zoning ordinance and permitting the erection of $1,750,000 JEWISH or- phan home on the Heights. In the foregoing can be seen the same court's “Warley” decision. of 1917 invalidating residential segregation. Our people, the country over, should note this fact for future use. —illli— More jobs for common labor in the elty parks department were made available, Saturday, as a result of City Manager Hopkins’ ordering Park Director Sam Newman to have ail dead trees removed trom clty property throughout the city. ‘Those of our men who need work, and there are many who do, ee make application, at once, at the Park department in the city hall. Counciiman Louis Petrash’s reso- lution asking for improved service on the Broadway line, was adopted In the City Council, Monday evening. Ballon said new cars would be added to this line at anearly date. Has any one ever heard of Councilman ‘Tom Fleming's asking for improved service on the Central Ave. car line where the service is positively the worst in the city? Here is some- thing for Councilmen-elect Gregg and George to do soon after they take ‘office, Jan. 1, 1928. ge City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins’ and Director Barry's efforts to nulll- fy the effect of Councilman Peter Witt’s truthful charges, in his re- cent Hotel Cleveland speech, by rushing into the daily newspapers with “comebacks” and a challenge are really ridiculous, especially so to those who live in “The Roaring Third" and know Witt has not told one-half of the truth about the rot- ten, immoral and unlawful condi- tions existing there. Peter could Uterally “‘skin” William in a debate on that subject. Take him on, Peter! ‘and do the job thoroly. Newell. N. Puckett, a W. R.

Why not say 0, publicly, Professor? In closing he did say, however, that “nine- tenths of the superstitions are of European and white origin.” That helps some, but not enough. erik ‘Once again, we remind our peo- ple of this community that at least once @ year we should give a big benefit entertainment, the proceeds ‘of which should be divided among the local hospitals that do so very ‘much for members of the race un- able to pay anything for services THEM DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER rendered. It, the proceeds, would show some appreciation and be “an earnest of good will." We give en- Urely too ttle for the charity many of our poorest people are daily re- ceiving, especially in the hospitals. We can do this even it we are finan- cially unable and should not try to maintain an institution of the kind. —illi— AGAIN, “THE ROARING THIRD” In a speech before the annual din- ner of the Cleveland Freight raftic Association in Hotel Cleveland, last week Friday. evening, Councilman Peter Witt said: “The vicious and criminal element operates in the “Roaring Third” pre- cinet through the connivance of city authorities. The police department has been built up by political ma- chination, Its methods are obsolete. Beats are patrolled as they were in the days before the telephone. There is one officer to every five privates. The department is not free. “The Roaring Third does not mean that the great majority of people in the district are vicious, but that the criminals are suffered to operate there. “Any vice or erime condition in any city can be eliminated in twenty- four hours if the authorities want The residents ot “The Roaring Third” want to thank Councilman Peter Witt for the foregoing. It is the truth and nothing but the truth. It anything, he has been a little too lenient, especially when he says “peats are patrolled as they were in the days before the telephone.” As a matter of fact there is practically no patrolling of beats in that police precinet, Director Barry saying many months ago that “police patrolling beats was obselete.” And remem- ber, “The Roaring Third” now cov- ers the territory between E. 9th and B, 105th streets and between Wood- land and Cedar avenues. It is there that immoral conditions and pro- tected infractions of law are worse than in any other part of the ‘city, Since Councilman Tom Fleming has for years absolutely refused to say or do anything to help improve the section in which he lives, it is sineerely hoped that Councilmen- elect Gregg and George, who also live in the notorious “Third,” will at least make an effort to do so. That part of the city has for nearly ten years been made an immoral and criminal “dump” by those in con- trol of the city. A WARNING ‘The defunct movement to turn the old and abandoned St. Luke's hospital property in Carnegie Ave. over to certain persons for a “jim crow” hospital/has been revived. This time certain city officials are working thru others, some Afro- Americans. ‘Their excuse is that ad- ditional hospital facilities are need- ed and their “toll,” the statement that this hospital could be placed under the immediate supervision of Afro-American physicians. ‘They know but ignore the very harmful fact that this very thing would close the doors of every other hospital in the city to our people in a local ef- fort to force all of our patients into the “jim crow" affair. A Dr. Stan- ley Brown, it 1s said, has been sent to Washington, D. ©., and other southern cities to study how the “jim crow” hospital idea is “work- ed out” there with a view to aiding City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins to help put a “jim crow” hospital over here and also escape opening up the clty hospital school for nurses and internes to our boys and girls. If that man Hopkins keeps this thing going and continues to refuse to open up all of the city hospital fa- ellities to our people, next Aprit when the Davis Amendment is again to be voted on there will be only one Afro-American voter in the city with him and his city managershfp plan of local government, and the vot- er will not dare to tell it too freely. Again we urge our people to cease fighting the city hospital matter in the newspapers and take it into the courts and force City Manager Hop- kins to open up that public institu- tion to our people in common with al others in this community. Mean- time; will some one furnish “The Old Reliable” Gazette, with a list yot the names of the “Negroes” who are willing tools of Hopkins and others in this revival of the “jim crow” hospital movement?

At the examination all went well until the young man started his audi- ence with the sentence, “We now come to the tragedies of Bophocles.” “Dhe tragedies ot whom?" gasped one of the examiners. “You mean Sophocles!” exclaimed another. For some moments the young man gazed earnestly at the manuscript Then he looked up with a reassured smile, and said, “No, it is distinctly Bophocles here.” Oe Don’t hire a man with light hair and blue eyes for an oflce Job unless you're going to give him a great deal to do and a heup of credit for doing it. ‘Men work harder if they think they are appreciated.

The hat Is also gray velvet and rolls to a point in front. Small hats and big ‘collars are the usual rule of the sea- son. Redfern combines a big hat and ‘a big fur collar. Hats of stitched velvet promise to ‘be among the most popula this win ter, ‘The forms are quite similar-to the stitched taffetas of a season ago, with small brims, tallored crowns and narrow bands of the stitched velvet, which tie in a bow at the side.

In these days of simple and artistic patterns, widespread knowledge of the sewing art, and unusually beautiful materials there are a great many dresses be- ing created in homes. PETER HARRIS Dame Fashion stood the other day and studied for quite a long while some soft beautiful material, and could seem to vision little schoolgirls, and all sorts Grace J. Auclin. vision little school-girls, and all sorts of women wearing it. One reason why Dame Fashion studied it was because it has been practically off the market for a number of years; it is "challile." There were dark, dignified hair-line stripes for the elderly and matronly woman, and figures of all kinds, down to the pretty little blossom-clusters that look so sweet on little girls, especially when there is a sash or hair-bibon of blue or rose somewhere to give color-emphasis. "Hair-ribbons, Dame Fashion!" some one says; "Aren't they as extinct as the dodo?" Ah, but they are coming back. It would be unthinkable to let a whole generation of little girls grow up without the happiness of having a collection of pretty hair-ribbons. For some time now French mothers have begun again to send little daughters to school with gay-colored hair-ribbons, and the fashion has already crossed the water. One bow-maker in a famous New York retail shop has now, for over a month, averaged tying 75 hair-hows a day. Most of them go with a clasp that can cling tightly to a lock of bobbed hair. For long braids and long curls are still rare on school girls. But coming back to these "challies." Where do you suppose they are made? With two guesses you might say Massachusetts or South Carolina. But it is not so. They, too, have traveled in great boxes in a ship's hold, and they, too, are the clever Czechoslovakians. Wouldn't it make quite a tour of travel if we could journey to see the sheep, perhaps of Montenegro, which were sheared to make this cloth, and watch all the individuals who have worked upon it before it came to us? Not but what America makes plenty of beautiful cloth. Dame Fashion lifted exquisite breadths of chiffon velvet, "I suppose this comes from France?" "Not at all," declared the director. "This is a true American product." And nothing could be loveller if it had crossed a dozen oceans. Black velvet, like a popular novel, is a "best seller," and yet there are so many rich and wonderful shades in color. Can you not see "cockcocks red" in your mind; "bishop purple," "wood thrush brown" or "Cleopatra blue"? Satin or satin-faced crepe combines so well with these velvets, and if there proves to be a spot that seems to lack something, that is the place either for a rhinestone ornament or a velvet bow; you may have your choice, for both are equally good. Dame Fashion saw a most modish gown of simple and perfect lines which looked not so hard for the home dressmaker. It was a black velvet dress, really one piece, though it simulated two, and from the flat belt of velvet at the low waistline there frilled out a pretty four-inch wide knife plaiting of satin, while at the side front of the skirt there was a straight panel of the same width plaits, running up and down. And New York is naming now such pretty dresses as "Sunday-Night Frocks." They are long-sleeved, and have such a gracious appearance of adaptation for a time of special pleasure, yet after all, an informal function. Peach Karakul Trimmed With Rich Peach Fox Fur THE FASHION WEEKLY One of the most beautiful coates of the season is made of peach karakul trimmed with peach fox fur collar and cuffs. American Broadtail Is Chic for Afternoon Wear THE FASHION WEEKLY Myrna Loy, charming featured motion picture player, who is soon to be seen in "A Girl From Chicago," has chosen two coats for winter day wear. For the afternoon theater or tea she wears the coat of black American broadtail. The collar is an unusual combination of white ermine and sable. The simplicity of this coat makes it well suited for street wear and the richness of the fur makes it qualified to wear in the evening. Longer Skirts Promise to Be Winter Mode In the sphere of daytime clothes observes a Paris fashion writer in the Louisville Courier-Journal, the changes which have taken place this season have been all in the direction of greater maturity. Thus longer—only slightly, but longer notwithstanding—skirts have already earned a certain niche in the winter's styles. So, too, have the high and marked waistline, the flared hemline, elaborate sleeves, a lower and preferably V-neck decolletage, while among the materials velvet is acknowledged the fabric of the season. How shall these various innovations be regarded by the younger dressers? Shall they be adopted, adapted or discarded? For one thing, the longer skirt, whether in fact through an added inch or two or in effect through the uneven hemline, may be just as well omitted. Paris has been anything but unanimous in preferring it, most of the haute couture also including the knee-length curtailment. Some have suggested the slightly lower hemline for the young matron—youth can be quite as attractive in these skirts which just cover the knees. Of course, not even uninhibited youth need go to ridiculous extremes, and it will be decidedly de mode for winter to disclose the knees. The high and marked waistline should really be the undisputed property of youth, and youth alone. None but the very young can appear smart and happy under the modern flexible silhouette with a normal and sharply defined waist. Indeed, it is because older women have had difficulty in gracefully exploiting the raised waistline that its revival has been so long deferred and so difficult of achievement. At all events the normal line is the badge of the younger set—It need not be exploited to the exclusion of a lower line, but it should be worn wherever it can be attractively included. Youth, in a word, may still roam the modal fields unfettered, unrammeled, irrepressible and fancy free. To it has been delegated the inspiring task of keeping the best in yesterday's mode vividly alive. No better champion is required. Leather Jackets Show Snappiest of Shades Leather jackets in jaunty little hip-length styles are shown in bright red, vivid greens, clear blues, tans and grays and lined with soft kasha in matching shades. The dark browns, navy blues, purples and black, on the other hand, are lined with bright plaids, the backgrounds of each corresponding with the color of the leather. In addition there are some models made in full-length styles; these, however, are mostly in single-breasted, the idea being to eliminate any sense of bulk or undue clumsiness. Evening shoes are following the vogue for rich embellishment, but one pair that is unusually dazzling is made of black satin with tiny little mirrors applauded over the entire surface. On the toe and straps the mirrors are much smaller than those used on the back sections. The heels are made of a composition resembling ebony in their shininess and are studded with clear crystals that glitter brightly because of their fine faceting. An interesting necklace to wear with the metallic blouses or velvet dresses is made of a fine gold fox chain broken up in sections by small stones of imitation jade. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1927. 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 interns) 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 its classes? I don't think 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 you for men who have blossom par children from the city public school, the city hospital school of nursing? There must be no let-up until our boys and girls are taken into the public-school of nursing and interne training at city hospital. No compromise will be permitted that will "railroad" our children off to themselves, segregate them like cattle. Our girls and boys must be put in this public school just as they are put in our other city public schools. All clubs, civic bodies and all the pastors of our churches ought to join hands with us to do an important work in our city school in its of internet 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 interne and nurse training that is denying us our civil rights and privileges as taxpayers and citizens. How long are you going to be blind to this truth? Come! Wake up and write and send the form to Terry T. Walker, M.R. Hopkins; Sir: For the good of the city of Cleveland. I urge you to drop Dudley Blossom from your cabinet, Jan. 1, 1928, and open the City hospital interne and nurses' school to the sons and daughters of ALL tax-payers and citizens and stop barring Afro-Americans. Sign your name here..... House number.... Street..... Cut this out and send it to City Manager, R. R. Hopkins, City Hall, Cleveland, Ohio. Respectfully, Joe T. Thomas, M. D. THE ENTERING WEDGE. We call the attention of our local Federation of Women's clubs and the local N. A. A. C. P. branch to the food 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 younger libraries are 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 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, 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 to 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 institutions. They seem unable to do this, 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 on their own bases used 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. GOOD U.

Pretty Things that are Made at Home MANY A FURRED VELVET COAT IS A SYMPHONY IN BROWN T ```markdown ``` THE calendar reminds us that we cannot afford to procrastinate in the matter of Christmas preparation. All the more reason to "do it now" if we are planning to make rather than buy. Speaking of gifts made at home, of all popular presents it would seem that lampshades head the list. Here's "how to make" a shade which is good looking but not expensive. Buy a plain parchment shade, bind it with gold braid and decorate it with tiny gold paper seals. For a few peninsula one can purchase a package of these little stickers or seals—enough to decorate several shades. It is the simplest, quickest process imaginable to paste these seals on the parchment background. After they are firmly placed, shellac the entire shade with transparent amber sealing wax paint. Prepare this by dissolving the sealing wax in denatured alcohol, letting it stand over night. When completed the effect is that of hand decoration done with gold bronze paint. The effectiveness of gilt crescent seals pasted on parchment is portrayed in the little lamp shown in the picture. A lampshade, also stand or base if you so please to call it, woven of crepe paper rope makes a handsome gift. Weaving with this rope is not difficult as the foundational shapes are bent into the desired shape, after which the MANY A FURRED V IS A SY IF YOU are feeling the urge to own a velvet coat, then you are fashion-wise. At the thought of a velvet wrap, one is prompted to vision black as the proper thing. To be sure, there is no criticism to be made if such be chosen, for the correctness and prestige of black velvet in the winter mode cannot be questioned. However, there is a competitor in the field—brown velvet for the coat, suit or ensemble, if you please, lavished with fur either in matching or blended fur. It is a fact there is nothing newer or smarter on fashion's program than a "symphony in brown" for the winter costume. A definitely prominent brown shade this season is chestnut. The elegant afternoon coat of velvet in this picture is in this very beautiful color and it is richly trimmed with matching fur. In order to insure a perfect blending or matching, furs of every sort are being wondrously dyed this season. In some instances, caracol is toned to accurately match the brown velvet it trims, likewise moleskin. The latter is exceedingly new and effective. Pointed brown furs are the "last word." These, with their sprinkling of white hairs all through the brown, make a handsome and novel appearance. Arriving from Paris are ensembles copy of Thee see wh might crepe rope is handled just like in basketry. Materials for making such a lamp and shade may be obtained at any stationery or department store. The open spaces of the shade are filled in with parchment paper. Pictures cut from illustrative crepe paper or from any magazine may be pasted on the parchment. This scissors painting as it is called can scarcely be detected from handpainting. The entire lamp and shade must be gone over with a coat of sealing wax shellac. The box in the picture portrays sealing-wax craft. A little wooden box pretty shaped may be bought at almost any ten-cent store. Cover the box with daubs of heated bronze-gold sealing wax, allowing it to flow from the end of the stick, leaving the top of the box untouched, as it is to be especially decorated. On this top paste a picture cut from a magazine or else stamp or sketch a flower or modernistic design. The idea is to work this with various colored sticks of heated sealing wax, building up the design and modeling it with the aid of a thin palette knife. It adds greatly to the handsomeness of this work if one encrusts colorful glass jewels. One can get these multi-colored nailheads at any fancy work department. Use them in the center of the flowers or in connection with the conventional designs if such are chosen. After the designing on the cover is completed fill in the uncovered spaces with daubs of the gold-bronze sealing wax. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1827, Western Newspaper Union.) VELVET COAT Symphony IN BROWN with coats three-quarter length. To emphasize their smartness these coats boast the very new stole collars of luxurious brown fur matched to the velvet they trim. Very wide cuffs of the fur are used, because the wider the fur cuff the more fashionable. Speaking of cuffs, some very sensational things are being done with them. One of the fetching new ideas which draws attention to the cuffs, is that on some of the latest velvet coats the only bit of fur that appears on the coat is that which trims the lower part of the sleeve. Huge muff cuffs are the newest thing. They give the impression sometimes of each arm thrust through a muff which extends up to or beyond the elbow. Among unique fur cuffs are those strapped in the center with gilded kilt belts with gold buckles, or of cloth matching the coat. Of course, these fancy strapped effects are used in connection with flat fur, as they yield most gracefully to this handling. Regarding the coat in the picture an outstanding style point which claims attention is that of the flare hemline, achieved by a seton circular ruffle. Note also that the fur trims only at the front, which is a characteristic feature of many of the season's fur placements. JULIA BOTTOMLEY (© 1927, Western Paper Union.)

(93 v. 163 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern 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: **BBS.** ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. just member of mob just another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the community, or privileges therein, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I ventured to separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. What was going on in its own town there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. 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 shame the cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey * * * * * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. ading It a Copy of it
