Thomas Banquetted—Biggest Affair of the Kind in the History of Our People at the Nation’s Capital—Deserves All and More—Johnson and DuBois! (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—Neval H. Thomas attended the annual banquet of The Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom at the New Willard hotel, last week Friday evening. This is the same group that fostered the Villard dinner, some weeks ago, at The Hotel Washington. The Afro-American readers of The Nation were refused admission when these ladies were arranging the contracts for The Nation dinner at “The Mayflower” hotel and the organization declined to hold the function there, or to make it the headquarters of their national convention here, this week. As a result of this high ground, these women are taking, The Mayflower lost thousands of dollars. At the banquet of the national gathering, Jane Addams spoke and presided. Senator Dill of Washington state, Representative Hamilton, 3rd, and Horace Knowles, former minister to Santo, Domingo, spoke on the Carribean situation. Mr. Knowles, an authority on our relations with South America, paid glowing tribute to the genius of the Haitian republic, and spoke in eloquent and dignified manner to the states of Haiti. When he said: "I have associated with the black statesmen of this black Republic. They are trained in the universities of Europe, and are as able and cultured as the best white statesmen in our own country," the vast ban- PETER H. Dr. Emmett J.

The largest banquet ever given in this city, Thomas, the original was the one held in the large dining hall on the new Technical High school, on a recent Friday night, in honor of Prof. Neval H. Thomas, president and one of the founders of the N. A. A. C. P. branch here, and for years a member of its national board of directors, for his long public service, his daring, and consequent financial loss. Many men and women were present who never attend banquets. Thomas H. Clarke, toastmaster, told why the committee selected Grant's birthday, April 21, 1912, for the great warrior President had opened every door of opportunity to the Afro-American, the very ideal for which Neval H. Thomas has consecrated his life and powers, completely oblivious of his own interests. He introduced Armond W. Scott as the "note" of the evening, and he pitched the note high in fervent and eloquent tribute to Prof. Thomas. Emmett J. Scott told how Mr. Thomas had faced Presidents, cabinets, courts, U. S. senate and House of Representatives, commissioners of the Army, and officers of the ordinates, in the interests of our people, and without fear or fear, Perry W. Howard, and Recorder Arthur Froe paid tribute to Mr. Thomas' powers of leadership in securing the following and service of men in diversified callings, getting some service out of all elements; how he did not lead an organization simply on paper, but one that met monthly, and functions through committees, and against every power in the capital that wrongs our people, and did not cost them one cent. On the other hand, the same organization, and against every organization.

Miss Greta McRae, whom Mr. Thomas calls "the Joan of Arc" of the federal service, paid eloquent tribute to him, and his answer to the call of the clerks when some of them who held office in the association abandoned the cause. She glorified in his courage, and the fine intelligence of the clerks when some of them representedations of cabinet officials. Letters of congratulations came from Oswald Garrison Villard, Rose Conkling Bruce, Editor Wendell P. Dabney of Cincinnati, and many others from various parts of the country, though none came from James Weldon Johnson, or Dr. Wm. E. DuBois of the Crisis. WE GET THE BEST. The Brunswick Construction Co. Rendering Our People Wonderful Service and Affording Us an Exceptional Opportunity. The Plain Dealer of Dec. 5, 1927, announces that Rapid Transit will go into effect about Jan. 1, 1930, on a large scale. The Van Swerings announce the Nickle Plate, New York Central, Wheeling & Lake Erie, "Big 4" and South Moreland will go into Rapid Transit heavily. The Pennsylvania, Erie, B. & O. and Northern Ohio Traction Co. will also start, Jan. 1, 1930. Elyria gets rapid transit over New York Central. Lorain over the Nickel Plate, Solon on the Erie R. R., Brecksville on the B. & O., Wheeling on Wheeling & Lake Erie, Hudson on the Pennsylvania R. R. Shaker Heights on the South Moreland car, Berea gets New York Central and "Big 4". Willoughby gets New York Central and Nickel Plate, while Bedford is the only spot that gets three: to wit, Pennsylvania, Wheeling & Lake Erie R. R., and Northern Ohio Traction Co. The Brunswick Construction Co. people on account of their 100 years' experience in Cleveland real estate, were able to select the only spot in northern Ohio that would have three rapid transit railroads. The Gazette takes off its hat to the Brunswick construction Co. first, for its ability to pick the winning section and second, for turning their Bedford allotment (Brunswick Park) over to our race. The Cleveland Real Estate Board had committees inspecting the lands along rapid transit in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Pittsburg and found that the value of such lands jumped about twenty times as much as other lands. This is the first time that our people have gotten the best real estate in northern Ohio, and The Brunswick Construction Co., Cleveland Trust Building, East 55th St. and Woodland Ave., deserves our thanks for giving the best to our race.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to The Gazette.) Washington D. C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest parks in the state have never troubled President 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. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, white women working white women, and 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 institution and not a non-racial one, because of Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious and on by our Republican President. Some tuition was paid, 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 finally refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Coolidge. He halls from the other favorite, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, the superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he demands his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where 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 great Klan which has found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ( Special to The Gazette ) ((Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for which only where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold lunches from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those 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 are placed, that they are far more 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 whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing more. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The white employees have even passed around invitations to the white employees in the office building, and attended a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general to the office building, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks got 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. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to union which met similarly and often sends letters formally and intelligent postmasters, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette, Washington, D. C.) The government printing office sees with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go. There is a few tables 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 promoters. Here, as elsewhere, the senior officer and our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, Andy McCormick splendidly record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumpet uprising. 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 revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately discharged. The other 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 questions to be met by a demal 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 incident should be prosecuted in 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 result of their protest, and the noble wife of a man named Marion (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter the bureau forged segregation of the races, and a white woman has been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- on intimate terms at the White 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! Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, 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 the public of her appearance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over 40 cities in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. We have their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high 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 segments, the inevitable result of segregation. Our girls are all uping for the issuance of order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. —The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in his extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking term which financed the Civil War and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never know what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are scarce where that they can't be noticed. Where is the same general complaint here, our clerks and other employees as they is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further 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 endure physical inconvenience at home and are forced to travel long distances to describe the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners at a once sparse; but not one Negro! His only concern 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 Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation, and being poor, with no other option, this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so.

This season marks the dawn of a new era in hatology. Once again, after so long a period of watchful waiting and hoping women" are to be allowed to choose hats tuned to their individuality. One evidence of this is the return of brims. Yes, brims, not camouflaged brims, but actual definite brims widening more and more with the approach of summer, are "in" again. Thus is the supremacy of the little molded-to-the head types now challenged. Not that the advent of brims means that "finis" has been written across the pages of the cap-fitting variety of chapeaux. On the contrary, very charming tight hats, especially skull-cap types, continue to grace the millinery picture. For instance, there is the exceedingly smart model shown at the top of this group. It is a "aest-word" creation from Paris. One of THE EVENING SILH EMPHASIS ON RICH fabrics draped to perfection are glorifying the evening mode with their exquisite presence. The better to achieve the intricate folds and drapes now so essential to smart styling designers are inaugurating a vogue for stiffer silks, especially moire and taffeta, likewise a somewhat former satin weave than heretofore. Some of the taffetas and moires are "fearfully and wonderfully" draped, featuring novel bustle effects and large bows and fabric arrangements in one-hip effects. In the presence of these extravagantly simple gowns, if one may so describe them, for fabric manipulation is their only adornment, the frills and furbelows of other gowns lose caste. Especially is this true of the classic white satin gown, which has and still is proving itself a favorite on the evening style program. py of The e who might style of the one shown on the brimmed hat to the right below are playing a cunning part toward "feminizing" the new millinery modes of the day. The three brimmed types shown here bespeak the trend of current millinery styles. That is a very smart brim silhouette achieved by the natural colored band-sewed straw shape to the left, due to the fact that it is widened at the sides, and narrowed at the back. The hat with the velvet bow and veiled so prettily as shown to the right, also confirms the fact that becomingness is assured by the newer models. Note the flower-trimmed bangkok which concludes this group. Is it not charming? And what a "far cry" it is from the snug felts we have been wearing these many seasons past. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1925.

Slippers of white satin with rhinestone beaks a choker collar or a pendant necklace of Chanel cut crystals, perhaps, for the glittering note adds greatly to the loveliness of the white satin gown. Sometimes a handsomely wrought rhinestone ornament is presented as the only trimming item on the frock finding placement in connection with the drape of the fabric, as per the gown here portrayed. This very beautiful model is an exponent of all that is choicest in the way of the white satin gown of classic drape.

SMOOTHER RACING AT INDIANAPOLIS Entry Blanks Are on Their Way to European and American Riders. Entry blanks for the sixteenth international 500-mile automobile sweepstakes to be held, as usual, at the historic Indianapolis motor speedway, Wednesday, May 30, at 10 a. m., are now in the mail on their way to drivers in Europe as well as America. In the list of regulations attached to the entry blank is an advance hint that although the size of the racing motors will remain at $91\frac{1}{2}$ cubic inches piston displacement, there is a stipulation which will prove attractive to foreign racing car creators, and an indication that the speedway is expecting an unusually large group of foreigners to enter the coming event. Additional Resistance. "The Indianapolis Motor Speedway corporation reserves the right to require, if necessary." It reads, "additional head or wind resistance to be added to cars to equalize European body specifications. The size, position and method of installing head resisting parts to be specified not later than May 10." The problem centering around this requirement has been too complex for the foreigners to solve in past events, but this year the speedway has paved the way to an easy solution. When the Indianapolis track, leading the park, reduced the size of motors to the present vest pocket but record-breaking type, the American cars came out of the workshops looking like skyrockets on wheels. The foreigners, following suit in decreasing the motor size, ran their races in cars of two-seater body style, rather than the tailor made projectiles the Yankees were jockeying. The foreigners built bodies that two midgids could ride in—to meet the rules—but only one normal-sized man rode them. It developed an endless controversy in international events. Smooth Relationship. Now Indianapolis has again paved the way for smooth racing relationship of the international variety. The speedway reserves the right to compel American competitors to carry the same-wind resisting area in body design as is required by the Europeans. This will pacify the foreigners and not cause any general howl from the American competitors who will do most anything to get a 500-mile crack at foreign engineering and driving skill. The purse for the Indianapolis event is announced at $50,000 for the first ten places and an additional consolation prize. Other cash prizes and added purses bring the total to approximately $100,000. Only 33 cars may start the race. There is required a qualifying speed of 90 miles an hour for four consecutive laps, a total of ten miles. In case more than 33 cars qualify, the 33 fastest mounts start. Competing cars must weigh not less than 1,400 pounds—a net weight without oil in crankcase or tanks or gasoline. The race is run under the sanction of the American Automobile association, the governing body of the gasoline sport. Jinriksha Seems Doomed by Popular Automobile The picturesque but antiquated diniksha seems doomed to extinction in Malaya with the growing popularity of automobiles. The Singapore municipal council is to reduce the number of 'riksha licenses 15 per cent, beginning July, to make way for the growing motor traffic. Consul General A. E. Southard says it is probable that further reductions will be made thereafter as the ancient streets are too narrow, and the possibilities in the uses of motor vehicles, especially busses, too great to allow dinikshas to hamper modern transportation. Wash Car Carefully Care should be exercised in selecting the time and place to wash the ar. The job never should be done in the sun because, in such a case, the heat will dry the water before the chamois can be used. The result is a fullness and lifelessness that may be worse in appearance than the original dust. The garage is the best place to avoid sun and wind and the most acceptable place to do the job ```markdown ``` U. S. for Gasoline Forty-seven different prices are charged for gasoline throughout the United States, the Detroit Automobile club announces after a recent survey. The lowest figure for straight-run gasoline was 10 cents at Peoria, IL., while the highest was 27 cents at Phoenix, Ariz. The Mississippi valley average is the lowest recorded by the survey, being 19 cents, while the average on the Pacific coast is 20 cents. All of these figures are without special state taxes, which range from 1 cent to 5 cents a gallon. Trees of Paris Being Killed by Gas Fumes Automobiles and elm and chestnut trees can't live in the same streets in Paris, and the trees are moving out. It costs $60 each to replace the dying trees with varities that can breathe the gas-filled air of modern society. As rapidly as money is available the old trees are giving way to hardier planes, cedars and other kinds. There are $8,000 trees along the streets of Paris and in the small green squares, but the number is being reduced as trees die out because often they were too crowded. Once upon a time, before the machine age, the trees were planted 18 feet apart. Now, it has been found, street trees need more space to breathe the vitiated air. They are being put in 28 feet apart. Poverty seems to be the particular trouble with Paris trees for the appropriation for a year's care is only 80 cents each. T Johnny Weismueller, one of the world's greatest swimmers, is not satisfied with the laurels he has through being a "human fish," and has recently given much attention to the racing automobile. It is reported that Johnny will leave soon for the Hawaiian islands. The photograph shows Weismueller doing a little repair work on his new car, and it is said he is a good mechanic. AUTOMOBILE NOTES If this automobile war keeps up they can sell the parts. A pedestrian is a man whose wife has gone with the car. Leaky piston rings cause many thousands of dollars' waste of oil and gasoline. It's just as cheap to raise a large family—a sedan doesn't cost any more than a sport coupe. What could exasperate a man more than hitting a pedestrian with his new car and getting the fender all bent? A new English car has been designed for 220 miles an hour. Just the thing for youth to have its ding with. Eddie Rickenbacker, former auto racer and America's ace of aces in the World war, has taken over the Indianapolis motor speedway and expects to break the existing attendance record of 150,000.
