Modern Service PRACTI Modern Hot Water Service is a Very PRACTICAL Thing One of the many advantages of gas over any other fuel is that gas heat can be easily controlled. By means of a very simple mechanical device (the thermostat) gas heat is controlled automatically. The thermostat turns the gas down when less heat is needed, as well as up when more heat is needed. This principle, applied to water heating, has given people the Automatic Storage Water Heater. You should see them demonstrated at the Gas Office and ask your plumber about the very reasonable cost of having one installed in your home. THE EAST OHIO GAS CO.

Baker Witnesses Duel Paris, France, May 25.—A sword duel was recently fought between a Hungarian cavalry officer, Andrew Czlovovdi, and Count Pepito Di Abatino, French husband and manager of Josephine Baker, the Afro-American dancer, over the persistent attentions of the officer to the stage star. A poem in French addressed by the Hungarian to the star led to the duel. It was fought in St. Stephen's cemetery in Budapest and lasted 10 minutes. The count was scratched on the shoulder by the officer's sword and the seconds decided that this bloodshed was enough. The star was present and devoted herself to screaming. Henry O. Tanner's Suit.

Plattsburg, Mo. — The $8,000 suit of Mrs. Sarah Duncan, aged ex-slave, against the estate of Henry Clay Duncan, banker, has been settled for $5,000. She was reared in the Duncan household, remaining until the death of Henry Clay Duncan. She asked a lifetime's wages. The news of the death of Mrs. Johnson Carter, E. 55th St., after a brief illness, was a shock to her hosts of friends in this city. Mrs. Carter was an active member of the Helping Hand society, Vashi class of St. John's S. S., and secretary of the beginners' department of the school. The funeral, last week Tuesday, from St. John's A. M. E. church, was largely attended. Her mother, Mrs. Robert Peterson, died four months ago. Mr. Carter has the earnest sympathy of the community. BROWN AN ARTIST! His Place Is on the Vaudeville Stage A Janitor Who Really Can Whistle. A whistler who can carry a close harmony duel by himself is George Brown, janitor at 5005 Euclid Ave., where Herman Matzen, the sculptor, has his studio. Strangers around the building are startled when they hear the sound of a far-off train whistling for a crossing, and "Blue Heaven" or "Swane River" whistled with two distinct notes, and see only one man, mopping a floor in time to the music, with his lips pressed tight against his teeth. "How do I do it? Hm—I just tell you—I don't know," says George, with a grin that shows his big white teeth. "I been whistling ever since I can remember. I'm kinda out of practice now." He came four years ago from North Carolina, where he ran a combination tailoring shop, undertaking parlor and insurance office, now and then doing a little whistling as a sideline. He plays the guitar, the auto harp and the "blow harp or mouth organ" he runs at his whistle at meetings here in Cleveland. " says Matzen. "Some day may be he will be in vaudville." He sure ought to be if he can do all that is claimed for him. A REAL COMMUNITY CLUB. The civic mass meeting, under the auspices of the Mt. Pleasant Community club, Monday evening, at Quinn A. M. E. church, was a very enthusiastic success. The editor of The Gazette, the speaker, discussed thoroly "The Roaring Third," at the special request of the organization. Trigg, sec. and Rev. Wm. Todd, pastor of the church, were directly in charge of the meeting. The Mt. Pleasant Community club, which pledged $200 to the new St. Luke's hospital, has already paid $100.34 of the amount. To the P. W. A. the organization pledged $150 and has paid $75. It expects to balance at an early date. This shows the kind of an organization the Mt. Pleasant Community club is. More of our local organizations should follow its lead and contribute something to the local hospitals that care for most of our poor patients. This is a duty that all of our people of the community owe and should bear the responsibility to be a monster benefit entertainment of some kind. FATHER DE PRIEST'S PLAN. The crade of Cleveland's religious life, historic St. John's Episcopal church, W. 26th St. and Church Ave., Rev. Roy E. De Priest, rector, is beginning a determined fight for its existence. It is Rev. De Priest's plan to have the church's well wishers subscribe $10 each annually toward the fund. Eventually, he hopes to have 1,000 names on the list. In the quiet campaign that has been begun for at least several months he has succeeded in raising a total sum of $4,000 for the church. With a steady income assured, Rev. De Priest hopes to make the church a religious shrine and preserve mememtes that have historical significance. Particularly will he take steps to preserve the tower where, before the Civil war, frightened slaves, escaped from the town, gathered for shelter and the food prepared for the sympathetic parishioners. The tower link in the underground chain from the South and is said to have been in use, almost nightly, before the outbreak of hostilities between the North and the South.

"When I left Muskegon, Oklahoma," he writes, "I was filled up of white and 'colored' cars. The white cars were filled with passengers among whom were very rough and tobacco-spitting types. The colored car was nearly empty. Liking to travel comfortably, I entered the colored car but the conductor, who was there looking over some papers, said to me: 'This is for colored people.' Upon the basis of my studies, I learned that the existence of white 'colored' people, I asked him: 'How do you know that I am not colored?' His reply was, 'You do not look like it!' "Do you know that there are colored people lighter than you?" I asked him, looking at his typical Latin type. "That is true," he replied. And without having to trace my ancestors back to five thousand years ago, there was perhaps a Negro among them, I was already passing for colored. Passing For Colored At California Dance. Prof. Moors' first contact with our people was in Los Angeles. When he attended a high-school dance in that city, he noted that there were only two Negro students, young ladies, one of whom was playing the piano for the dance, and the other, her friend, who was waiting to go see the teacher where were all the other colored students, and the teacher replied that they were away because, "a white boy will not dance with a colored girl, and a white girl will not dance with a colored boy." Wishing to show them a better example, he said that he went to the unoccupied girl and asked her for a dance. After that he says, "The principal of the school came to me and said: 'Excuse me, but I wish to inform you that you cannot dance with a colored girl.' However, my response was: 'Did you not see, I can, and she danced very well, too?' No, he said, 'you did not understand me.' 'Yes, I interrupted, and that is the reason, because I understand that it will be instructive for you, your teachers, and pupils, to have seen what my point of view of education is.'" "Social Equality" in Atlanta. "White people had told me, 'You should go to the South to know colored people. They live like pigs. So my stay in different southern cities and plantations brought me in contact with all kinds of colored people. But certainly many white people would be happy to live in such 'pigpigs' (?) as the splendid buildings and homes of many of the color people in the South. Dining with the president of a colored college in Atlanta Prof Moernsa said that the latter informed him "that if some southern white Americans should see this they might lynch me." The Back Door. The professor tells of his studies among colored people in Africa, the West Indies, and Central America, and says that he finally settled down in Washington, D. C., to study the race question, where he had to change his home many times on account of receiving colored friends in the same way he had his white ones. "But this was an illuminating experience. But they were not allowed to enter the front door like white people, but they were not allowed to go into the elevator where the white THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation in Ohio, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published in this or any other country.

Garbage Cans—His Califor- ny City Experiences Book "Doctor Huguet." people went. When they wanted to ride up, there was, in many buildings, a lower elevator under the main cage, this lower elevator being used for garbage cans and colored people. I several times enjoyed the sensation of riding with colored university professors and doctors among these garbage cans, while in the upstairs room, the students and doctors had the privilege of entering. It seemed to me that even in the capital of this democratic (?) country a colored person was still considered less than a dog. Forced to Move "But I had a somewhat similar experience in an apartment hotel in the cosmopolitan city of New York. Here there were no upper and lower elevator sections, but there was a special elevator section in the back for garbage cans and colored people — or perhaps I should say, as New York is not a southern city — for colored people and garbage cans. Prof. Moers, after telling of his experience in New York City, told how he was forced to move from place to place because he had visitors of "all races," the great objection being against Negroes. He then gives a novel manner of getting rid of a lease that one does not like. "That if I insisted on having colored visitors, they would appreciate my leaving and would even release me from the obligations of the lease. So when people wish to be relieved of their house leases, I advise them to give some interracial parties." In the Churches. Prof. Moers also compares the Christianity of the white man with that of the Negro. "In the white churches where the brotherhood of man is supposed to reign it is an unqualified brotherhood of white men. Whereas, in the black churches where all men is practiced, I have gone into several colored churches without being presented, and always have been politely received, conducted to one of the best seats, and even in prayer I was sometimes mentioned as a welcoming host, whose visit was appreciated. How much have the white churches still to learn before they practice the brotherhood of all men." Superiority. "When a race thinks itself superior it should make other races look up to it; but it should never demean its principles by looking down upon the others. The present conditions among some American whites show that the American race has developed."—J. A. Rogers in Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. KROGER'S "JIM CROW" HEALTH CINCINNATI, O.—To help reduce the tuberculosis mortality rate among our children in this city, B. H. Kroger, founder of a chain of grocery stores, has announced that he would finance a farm near this city, on a sixty-five-acre farm near Mount Holly, O. and will build there a dormitory, kitchen, dining room and small hospital building. It will be known as Kroger's No. 2 health camp for children. Fifteen years ago, he established the Kroger Hills camp near here for children of the other group, class or race. En Route to General Conference. Kansas City, Mo.—At noon, April 30, I left Cleveland for the M. E. general conference here. In Chicago I was met by my son, Maceo, who is attending Chicago University law school. Then on to Kansas City, over the Santa Fe R. R., a direct line to this city where I found the fruit trees in bloom. At breakfast on the train, I met my neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. A. Jordan and Mrs. J. Williams. At Chicago, I were en route to Los Angeles, Pasadena and other points in the west, to return by the southern route. The general conference hall holds 18,000.

Cooper of Cincinnati, the "color-line" Republican candidate for Governor our people of Ohio defeated, two years ago, has again entered the race for the nomination, this year. It is hardly necessary to tell Ohio Afro-Americans their duty in his case at this time. He has not changed any in his treatment of our people of his home city and county, so we are informed. Therefore, there is no reason why we should change our attitude of two years ago toward his candidacy for renomination as the Republican candidate for Governor, this year. Pass the word along. PIG-SNOUT POLITICS. The defeat, at Monday evening's meeting of the City Council of Councilman James J. McGinty's resolution, granting local Afro-American Democrats a permit to hold a carnival in E. 49th St., between Central and Scovill Avenue, was a mistake from a political viewpoint that is bound to hurt Councilman Tom Fleming and other Republicans associated with him in the opposition to the resolution. It was very "cheap politics" that bids fair to play a more or less prominent part in the local campaign, this fall. As much as we have criticized Councilmen E. J. Gregg and Claybourne George, in the past, just so much do we praise them at this time for the righteous stand they took in favor of the resolution, even the they did so as Democrats. We would urge Director of Public Safety Edwin D. Barry to give the request, made by the McGinty resolution, the same favorable consideration he has given to similar requests in the past made by our local Elks, Councilman Tom Fleming's wife and others. This would only be fair and just. Councilman McGinty was right when he said to his colleagues in the Council, that such "intolerance" should have no place in this community. A Japanese newspaper makes answer to Secretary Kellog's recent interview in which he stated that he regarded Japan's activities in Manchuria as a violation of the Washington agreement to the inviolability of Chinese territory. "Japan's interests in Manchuria are comparable to those of the United States in Nicaragua," says the editor. Well, what can we say to that?—The Cleveland Daily Press. Nothing, except that both this country and Japan are taking advantage of weaker countries or people. If either country is worse than the other, it is this country because it has not done and is not doing one-tenth the harm in Nicaragua it has done and is doing in Haiti where the outrageous "American Naval Control" has done about all the harm it is possible to do to that country and its suffering people. Secretary Kellogg's "interview" and the Japanese reply is simply a case of "the pot calling the kettle black," in a polite way; and "might" making "right" as far as Japan and this country, and China, Nicaragua and Haiti are concerned. "BOGEY-MAN" NONSENSE. According to Dr. R. R. Moton the South's "bogey-man" is fear of "social equality" and intermarriage. He also says, "the white man (of the South) wants to keep his blood pure." How silly! Thousands of mulattos whose fathers are southern whites, are mute evidence of how great is that desire "to keep the blood pure". Dr. Moton also says and very truly, too, that "there has been a good deal of mixing in the South already and it has not been the fault of the Negro". While this statement, on first reading, does not seem to be wholly true, it is a fact that most of the illicit relations, existing in the past and present be- tween southern white women and our men, are the result of initial advances upon the part of the women. We do not take much stock in this "bogey-man" claim or talk because we believe that all of it is indulged in for another purpose and that is to help promote as far as possible a separation of the two races. If this were not true the southern white man would have to confess to a lack of confidence in southern white women we do not believe they are guilty of. Regardless of their alleged fear and the publicity Dr. Moton and others can give it, the mixing, miscegenation, will continue to increase from year to year just as it has in every other part of the world where the two groups or races mingle as they do throut almost all of the world. You can't keep the white man away from our women nor the white women away from our men unless an inpenetrable wall as high as Heaven separates them. "THE FORLORN THIRD." The editorial, "On Their Honor," in The Cleveland Plain Dealer, one day last week, gave the solution of the alleged "housing problem" in "The Roaring Third," as matters now stand. There are plenty of suites of rooms and houses for rent there. What is needed is to compel landlords to repair and clean up. Nearly all of the rental property in that section is owned by persons who do not live in the district. They refuse to clean up, repair and paint, and have been refusing to do so for many years. That is, the great majority of them. The writer lives and has lived in the heart of that section for more than a half century. Only a little more than half of the residents of "The Roaring Third" precinct are "colored" people and all of the "shacks" (and they are not near so numerous as is generally believed) are NOT occupied by "Negroes." The last sentence of the editorial referred to: "No district in any city was ever cleaned up with gestures" is a gem. For eleven years, ever since 1917, "housing gestures" have been waved at that district and that is all that has been done to date. The "shacks" in "the roaring third" are not as numerous as in some of the other old sections of the city and it is not the only "breeding place for crime and disease" in Cleveland, as all know. It would be interesting to learn just how many surveys, conferences and commissions have been organized in the last ten years on the "housing problem" in "the forlorn third," the heart of our great city. BLATANT BLATHERSKITES "Sore to the core" because of Dr. Mordical W. Johnson's very pertinent reference to our people and Soviet Russia in his speech at the American Peace Society meeting in this city, May 10, U. S. Senator Cole Blease (Dem.) of South Carolina unbosomed himself of a lot of rot, last week, in a speech in the Senate which he hoped would hurt Dr. Johnson. Howard University and our people just as much as possible. Blease, Heflin of Alabama, and their kidney, are a disgrace to the U. S. Senate, their states and the country at large. Their use of contemptibly abusive language, always directed toward our people, stamps them as nothing more nor less than blatant blatherskites. It seems strange that altho there are a number of northern Republican members of that august body, who hold their seats largely as the result of a united support given them by Afro-American constituents, not one of them is there who dares to arise to his feet and utter a single word in behalf of our people. It is sure high time that we were giving more thought to this phase of the matter. ```markdown ``` RACE PREJUDICE!

Slashing seventeen hits off the combined deliveries of four Cleveland Tiger pitchers, the St. Louis Stars made it two (they won Saturday) in a row over the Fifth City club, a member of our National League, with a 20 to 9 win at "color-line" Luna Park Stadium, Sunday. A seven-run rally in the seventh frame blasted all hopes of the Tigers, with Pitcher Johnny Williams holding the local club to four safeties in seven innings. Williams did ease up in the eighth, granting six hits for five counters. S. M. rell, business manager of the Tigers, has resigned and M. C. Barron, president, is now in charge. He has announced that some radical changes in the personnel of the team will be made. It has been a sad disappointment, up to date. Moxley's New World Record. Moxley's New World Record. Columbus, O. — Two world's interscholastic high school records and twelve state marks were shattered here, Saturday, as Columbus Central nosed out Lakewood for the twenty-first annual Ohio interscholastic track and field team championship. 10-0, field team scored 34 points to better Lakewood's 32. Running the mile distance as the last event on the long two-day program, Lakewood's relay team passed the baton four times around the quarter-mile track in 3 minutes 29.5 seconds to break the state record of 3 minutes 31 seconds. The victory was unexpected, with Wise, Lakewood, anchor man, breaking the tape ahead of Herbert Moxley, Columbus Central Afro-American ace. Moxley had broken the world's interscholastic record for the quarter mile earlier in the afternoon, stepping off the 440-yard distance in 48.2 seconds, to better sixteen-year-old record he represented Mercersburg academy. Meredith's record was 48.8 seconds. Moxley out-classed Wise of Lakewood in the fast quarter mile. Wise taking a poor second. Moxley's new record bettered the state mark of 50.4 seconds, which he set, last year, by a wide margin. Barnes Star of Meet. Wooster, O. — Oberlin's Afro-American ace, Jim Barnes, lent vigor, spice and interest to the Big Six track and field championship here. Saturday. Ohio Wesleyan won the meet with a total of 57 1-5 points, but it was Barnes who won the admiration of the crowd. No other athlete, who competed today, was so generously applauded and no other was so deserving of applause. By his all-around activities Barnes pushed Oberlin into second place ahead of Miami in the only real team fight of the day. Specifically he won the Big Six dash in 9.8 seconds to the Big Six record. He was last out of his hole and was still last with a third of the race run, but he closed fast and a leaping finish won him the decision of the judges. Won the 100-yard dash in 9.8 seconds to tie the Big Six record. He finished second to Kane of Ohio Wesleyan in the 220-yard low hurdles, forcing the latter to a new Big Six record of 23 3-5 seconds, almost a full second better than the old mark. Ran his quarter mile in the relay in 48.7 seconds to give his team the lead to win and the start on the record breaking relay of the 200-yard hurdles more than two seconds faster than the former mark. Kane, with firsts in both hurdles and records in both, and Anderson of Ohio Northern, who won the mile and the half-mile, were other double winners but Barnes was ahead of them for individual hon- Angelica Changes Her Mind. ors. In all, six new Big Six records were set. These included Barnes, 21 seconds for the 220-yard dash; Kane, 23 3-5 seconds in the low hurdles; Kane, 14 4-5 seconds in the high hurdles; Scribner of Wesleyan, 132 feet 3 inches in the discus; Gregory of Denison, 43 feet 2% inches in the shot put; Wilder, C. Miller, Barnes and Harrar of Oberlin, 3 minutes 20 seconds in the mile relay. The meet referee, Pat Pasini, permitted the records to stand. Barnes was unquestionably the outstanding star of the day, with firsts in the 220 and 100-yard dash, second in the low hurdles and a fast lap in the winning relay team. Stars, Defeat, Tigers, S'more The Cleveland Tigers dropped both games of a double header to our National League leading St. Louis Stars, Decoration Day, 12 to 7, and 10 to 7. The Stars clinched the first game in the initial inning, when a single and a home run into the bleachers gave them a four-run lead. They simply annihilated the offerings of Dixon for five runs in the first inning of the night cap, until stopped by the relief pitching of Dean. In the fourth the Tigers scored three runs to take the lead and drive Davis to the showers. Trent stopped the ball and the Stars gradually overhaul and then passed the Tigers. The game was called in the seventh to allow the Stars to catch a train. They made a clean sweep of the series. Telephone Personalities The Plant Engineer There is a constant demand for more telephones in Ohio, and therefore a constant growth in telephone lines and equipment. The new plant must be made an integral part of the existing system, and it must be provided in advance of the need for it. The plant engineers are responsible for planning the additions to the outside lines. Basing their extensions on estimates of growth in various parts of a community, they plan to have sufficient lines and cables added to take care of the demand when it is ready, without having a wasteful surplus of plant installed and lying idle. The fact that during 1928 The Ohio Bell Telephone Company is spending $18,000,000 on new construction, all of which must be planned far in advance, gives an idea of the importance of the work done by the plant engineers. The first submarine telephone cable across the Ohio river was laid recently between Cincinnati and Fort Thomas, Ky. The cable is laid five feet below the river bed. The submarine cable was the alternative to stretching seven miles of overhead wire. Of the 13,000 employees of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, more than 1,100 are directly engaged in construction. Much of their work consists of building new lines and cables to add to the exchange and long-distance systems. ```markdown ``` Attention! Readers! Our advertisers want your trade.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, convening in public auditorium, last week, unanimously adopted a resolution asking Mayor Marshall and Police Chief Graul to provide the 880 delegates with more adequate police protection. The resolution asked particularly for a closer police guard in Euclid Ave., between E. 6th and E. 20th St., between the hours of 9 p. m. and midnight, and recited that "several delegates had been held up and robbed" on Euclid Ave., since the opened. "Euclid Ave., between E. 6th and E. 20th St." is on the north end of "The Roaring Third" where there is practically no "police protection." The lowdown on part of the city's gin supply was disclosed in Municipal Court, last week Friday, when Charles Foy, E. 46th St., was arraigned before Judge Mary B. Grossman for violation of the liquor law. "Foy opened the door for us, Sergt John Palecek teeked me. I grabbed him. He had a bottle of gin. I searched the house and didn't find anything. I went to the garage, the door was locked. I asked Foy for the key. He said: 'You've got me now.' In the garage I found five gallons of raisin jack. 'How is it you had gin in the bottle? I asked him. I show you, he said: 'You took glass, took peek and pulled a small bottle of gin flavoring from his vist pocket. He put a few drops of that in the glass. 'See? Now you've got gin, he said.' Judge Grossman fined Foy $500 and costs.

Telephone Bills Are Now Made Out by Machine A Some 400,000 Ohioans who have been receiving telephone bills from The Ohio Bell Telephone Company may have noticed that lately the dainty chirography in which the amounts are shown has been replaced by typed items. This is because the telephone company is now making out its bills entirely by machine, and the girls who formerly filled them in by hand now operate the machines. Formerly the bills went through an addressograph machine, which stamped the name and address. Then the various charges—long-distance calls, extra local messages and other items—were written in by the girls. Frequently a bill showed the handwriting of several girls, as each would fill in the amount for a different kind of service. OUR CIVIL RIGHTS! Attys. Gillespie & Dillard settled for a neat sum of money, last week, the Henry C. Crawford-Ohio theater case, instituted under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law. On Jan. 22, '28, Crawford, over the telephone, reserved three seats in the mezzanine section of the theater which he called for in the afternoon and was refused with the explanation that the management felt pressure toate the "Cool" people. Let others, of our people "go and do likewise," whenever the occasion requires. It is to be regretted that this case was not fought to a finish in court and the result published in all of the local daily papers for the benefit of others who are not familiar with the subject matter of mistreatment of patrons of public places of accommodation, amusement, etc., in this state, is forbidden by the laws of Ohio. All victories of this kind should be widely published in every community in the state where they are won for the reason stated and others. Here is another "virgin field" in which the victim, A. P. Lool branches in Ohio and all such organizations should operate, and promptly, too. THE OTHER SIDE. R. H. McQueen, secretary of the Young Men's Republican club of this city, in a communication to a local daily paper, recently, asks: "What excuse can a Negro give for voting for a party in the north that disfranchises him in the south; a party that will not welcome their Negro delegates at Houston, Tex., but suggests that the Negro Democrats meet in a northern city?" Without attempting to answer the young man's question, but leaving that to "Mr. Peter Boult, vice chairman of the (local) Negro Democrat committee," whom his questions are directed, we would ask him, what excuse can a "Negro" give for voting for a party in the North that has, and has had for many years, the power in the Congress of the United States to stop all disfranchisement in the South and steadfastly refuses to do of the Cleveland Federation of Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Selene Corlett.—Wednesday's Plain Dealer. Ladies, ladies, ladies! "The other half" of Cleveland does not mean only those in "the forlorn third district" but those in all the oldest sections of the city, all of which, except "The Roaring Third," are inhabited MOST LARGELY by poor WHITES, and which are in just as many cases as in the SOME CASES EVEN WORSE. Why give out the impression that "the forlorn third district," largely populated by "Colored people," is the worst, and the only "breeding place for disease and crime"? In some of the other sections, inhabited most largely by foreign elements, black-hand and other crimes, predominate, too. Councilman E. J. Gregg, one of our three Councilmen, ought long ago to have made this phase of the matter known to the general M.D. population, and all others, male and female, would know the truth and stop unwittingly placing a stigma upon our people only of the third district. "I believe the city has the power under existing ordinances to compel landlords to keep their property in repair." Mrs. Griffin said. "When a building is condemned it should be put in proper condition at once or torn down. There are numerous instances of families continuing to live in shacks that have been condemned." All of which is very true. FOR ANALYSIS OF THE OLDEST SECTIONS OF THE CITY and not only for "the forlorn third district." It, too, is ALL that is necessary to be done, AT THIS TIME, to care for the alleged housing question in any section of the city, so very many suites of rooms and houses for rent are there throughout the city these "Coolidge good times."

I'LL SHOW YA WHAT KIND OF A GUY I AM- YOU CAN HAVE THREE LOOKS AT HANK FOR THE NICKEL AN' ILL LOSE A CENT- I'LL SHOW YA IF I AM A TIGHTWAD OR NOT! so: a party that will not secure their Negro delegates at Kansas City, Mo., anything but "jim crow" accommodations and treatment in public places and offers no excuse whatever for it? Continuing, the young man asks: "How can we conscientiously vote for the party that will not allow the Negro to vote in South Carolina unless we can get ten white men (try and get them) to vouch for our character? Other southern states controlled by Democrats have laws that effectually bar the colored man from voting." Again we ask him, how can we consciently vote for the party that has the power to compel South Carolina and every other southern distranchissement state to allow the Negro to vote in the federal elections in those state and stealthily so? No, United States, all of them not only southern states, are amenable to the laws made by the Congress, both branches of which are controlled by Republicans. In the last analysis, which party is really responsible for distranchissement, the one that practices it or refuses to do so (or refuses to and refuses to do so over the score and more years)? The young man also asks: "We can only judge what a party will do for us in the future by what it has done for us in the past and on that theory we are willing to leave the future of our race in the hands of the Republican party and work for its success next November." Right there is undoubtedly where Atty, Peter Boulter and his Afro-American Democratic associates, and young McQueen and his Republican club members, differ and have a perfect right, as American citizens (THEORETICALLY, at least) to do so. Atty, in his young man's parties, and "joy be with you." Your experiences on both sides of the political "fence" will do you, and we sincerely trust our people of this community, too, some good. The young man closes his article with the following: "We firmly believe that a colored Democrat is a greater menace to our progress than even a white Democrat of the Helfin or Blease type." Atty, with a plattitude, a political plattitude, young man, that is all. FORGET IT. AGAIN, HOUSING IN "THE ROARING THIRD." Now come the women! The woman's point of view was brought to bear. Tuesday, on the alleged housing situation when a committee of the Woman's Civic Association "toured the dilapidated streets of the forlorn third district" and resolved to demand a cleanup of City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Commissioner Gary L. Rockwood. Mrs. Eva L. Griffin, association president, declared that never before had she had an adequate conception of how "the other half" of Cleveland lives, and that she expected to appoint a committee to demand action of city officials. What form this action will take was problematical, but at a minimum the Association will demand a strict enforcement of the building and sanitary offices, Mrs. Griffin said. I am an sheeched beard words," she said. "No had idea that such conditions could exist in a supposedly enlightened city. The district is a breeding place for disease and crime." Accompanying Mrs. Griffin were Mrs. Alma Lewis, Mrs. T. R.

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 has ever been since the late 19th century, beginning with 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 of our parks President Wilson had built, the 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, restricting it to black and white, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution. It is not the case. It began by 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 tenaciously held on to by our Republican president. Some unintentionally colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He calls all 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 does not hold civil 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 chief tenets of the "Ku Klux Klan," and he is the swallowed home" here in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((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 whites only; chores are done by the men; 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, 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 unable 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 nother offices. 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 been treated with the white employees, in the way presence of the colored, to attend 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 the day before, 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 them. The colored clerks have been used to form a union which is regularly and often seems many and intelligent projects to the postmaster, and often pays 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 Washington, D.C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and most of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, prefer a 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 promotion to those as elsewhere the inferior whites or other of superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the juvenile aspect of this exclusion of 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 trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after he arrived 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 dismissed. By this severe punishment is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only by being made a denial of that complaint, complaining exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult government to deal with, an environment 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 women who supported the cause (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. She thereafter offered to support the segregation the races, and a white lady who had 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 either space nor vigor of utterance. She used it to lit the 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 six hundred influential white papers that he wrote. 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, toilouses, 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 jobs with high and normal skill in segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an 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 the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such in the country has never known, devised the nation's system which financed the Civil War and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. 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 so scarce there that they general complaint here is the same general complaint here in 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 aware of the physical inconvenience at times and are forced to travel long distances when desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the delightful space they presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group the registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a seperate community when we claim 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; they must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, by every bit of this Coolidge can stop segregation, just as he can condemn lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so.

Witness the evolution of the simple cottonts and tub materials of yore. They are that finely textured and marvelously processed these days one finds it difficult to classify them.

It alternates blue with red in a vivid contrast, the skirt showing interworked plaitings of each color. All the way through from neck to headline these colors exchange courtesies. Many of the jersey frocks play a fascinating color duet, if not a trio. One sees the combination of gray with blue frequently, the two colors trimming each other as they serve for blouse and for skirt. Often the color contrast is achieved rather with accessories than with interworked fabric. Per example, a navy or a mildly blue channel frock is enlivened with white shoes, handbag gloves and chapeau. The newer color is that of the natural oatmeal shade. It is very effective with navy.

AUTO LIGHTS AID TO NIGHT SAFETY Many Motorists Willfully Disregard Legal Requirements of State. Among the worst dangers threatening the motorists who drive at night is the lack of lights on vehicles. Carelessness, neglect and indifference are making night driving dangerous. The willful disregard by many motorists of the legal requirements for lights on automobiles is an open invitation to accidents. Outside the cities apparently little effort is made to enforce the provisions of the state traffic law concerning them. Travelers Invited. Minnesota boasts of its beautiful lakes, fields and forests, proclaims its fine highways, invites travelers to come, provides recreation spots, summer resorts and camp sites for their pleasure and then by negligence exposes both its own citizens and its automobile visitors to accident and injury if they drive on the highways at night. So far as automobiles are concerned, the uniform traffic law adopted by the legislature a year ago is specific in its lighting requirements. Two headlights, not dazzling but strong enough to illuminate the road 200 feet ahead, are required. Every automobile must have a tail light visible 500 feet from the rear. No provision in the law is more essential. An automobile lacking a tail light is particularly dangerous. The most careful motorist cannot protect himself against smashing headlong into some blunderer who is ambling slowly along with no rear light to warn an approaching motorist, or has parked in the road to change a tire. Law Is Defective The law itself is defective. It requires night lights on automobiles, motorcycles, trailers, even bicycles. But because some members of the legislature were more solicitous for the convenience than for the safety of passengers on horse-drawn vehicles, such vehicles were not included in the general provisions concerning lighting. The unlighted wagon or buggy is as difficult to see on the road at night as an automobile. Yet it can be driven anywhere without lights, front or rear. The legislature overlooked the fact that parking regulations in the uniform traffic code cover all vehicles, not merely motor vehicles. The lighting exception therefore does not extend to horse-drawn vehicles that are standing still. It is absurd but it is true that unlighted hayracks, buggies and wagons may be driven lawfully without any light whatsoever on the highways of this state, but once they have ceased moving, the law demands a light. Defective as they are, the automobile lighting regulations are not enforced. Enforcement is left to local police authorities. They are not on the job. Cars with one headlight, cars without tail lights, even cars with no lights at all, are encountered on the most heavily traveled highways in the state. Minnesota needs a state highway patrol force to effectuate these elementary rules.—St. Paul Dispatch. Early Overhauling Car in the Spring Favored Car owners who recognize the wisdom of the modified form of spring overhauling which now prevails should know the advantage of getting into the shop early. Usually, just before the opening of good weather, there is a great rush for this type of work and the service and repair shops are crowded. The car taken in early is assured of the type of service which results from giving the mechanic plenty of time. When the open road calls, it is an excellent idea to have the car ready to give a satisfactory answer. Proper Type Spark Stressing the importance of using the correct type of spark plug, H. Rabezzana, research engineer, says nearly all spark plug sootting trouble can be traced to one of these causes: Wrong plug used. Motor operating at very low temperature. Long runs with carburetor choked, or partly choked. Very rich caburator mixture. Oil pumping. Weather driving conditions when motor is run only short distances and never attains an operating temperature high enough to burn oil and soot before it carbonizes. Sooting and oiling trouble can often be overcome by checking and correcting conditions indicated above. It is of first importance that the correct plug be used because a plug having insulation that is too short on the lower end will foul quickly. This is because the short insulator will not get hot enough to burn soot and oil before carbonization takes place. Mr. Rabezzana added that as motorists change their spark plugs after 10,000 miles, they should be sure that the proper type of plug is installed. Dash Indicator Lights Are a Big Convenience Indicator lights fitted on your dash will tell you whether your tail and stop lights are properly burning.

The theory, of course, is that the indicator light is in series with the light it indicates and when either of the two bulbs in such a circuit burns out, the remaining goes out as well. Instead of 6-8 volt bulbs use $3\frac{1}{2}$ volt bulbs.—Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE HINTS The entire chassis of a car can now be lubricated for a small sum. A nut or bolt is useless to the automobile if not kept fully tightened at all times. When the car suddenly begins to steer hard, lack of lubrication is the first thing to suggest itself. Signals are essential to motoring safety. Don't close all the windows of the car during wet or cold weather. When warm weather arrives it is a good idea, and usually a money-saver, to have the spark plugs changed, the battery tested, and the ignition and lighting system checked. Watch the upper radiator hose connection. It gives out first because it carries hotter water than the lower hose connection and hotter water is more destructive in its effects on hose lining. The Georgia Supreme court holds that a husband cannot be held liable for damages resulting from his wife's auto driving. This does not absolve him when she drives from the back seat.
