General Land Office, says Neval H. Thomas. Washington, D. C. — Continued discrimination in the General Land office here, under Secretary of the Interior Dr. Hubert N. Work, is reported by Neval H. Thomas, who says: Miss Gratchen McRae, the brave little girl stenographer who led the men of the department in protest, has been transferred to a position in a room to herself, where white clerks visit her for transcript of work. She is still forbidden identification with the stenographic pool, yet they require her to send her work there. She succeeded a white man in the job, but he did not have to send his there. Our point is that since she has received recognition by the pool and since her white male predecessor did not have to do this, she should have complete divorce from this pool." THE GILPIN PLAYERS To Be at The Little Theater in East Ninth St., All Next Week in The Pulitzer Prize Play. Cleveland's famed Afro-American dramatic group, The Gilpin Players, will make American theater history, next week, when they appear in Paul Green's 1927 Pulitzer prize play. In Abraam's play, with the Little Theater in E. 9th St. For their downtown appearance at a first-class legitimate theater will mark the first time that a local dramatic group of ours has ever been taken from their own amateur theater and placed on the legitimate stage as a legitimate attraction. Those who have 'followed the remission of the Gilpin players regard this step as a logical reward of merit. Some eight years ago, the group was formed for the presentation by members of the race of plays with artistic value. For eight years, they have studied, practiced and rehearsed, learning lines in more than 60 plays. Most of the time they have been under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Jelliffe, whose pauline hops in the limbo, conjoined with the exceptional talents and responses of the members of the group, have made them what they are. Casting about for a play of sufficiently high caliber to follow "Elmer Gantry" into the Little Theater, A.W. Newman managing director, who Gilpin Players in In Abraham's Bookshop in Humphrey's fired with the idea of carrying out a truly artistic ideal in presenting the prize-play in which the Gilpins were appearing. The rest is history, and it is expected that the people of Cleveland, especially ours, will rejoice in the success of a fashion that will be most satisfactory to all concerned. Go to the Little Theater, next week! BOMBED A BAPTIST CHURCH! Causing Twenty Thousand Dollars Damage Underneath the Dirrers Detroit, Mich.—A new segregation terror burst forth here, last week Tuesday morning, when unknown parties bombed Mt. Zion Baptist church, ruining its pipe organ and a church he pastored by Rev. S. Williams, located in an Italian neighborhood and was purchased, May 6, for $60.00. The church is in a "white" neighborhood. This fact caused opposition. Overture of "whites" to buy it were refused by church officials. The bombing was undoubtedly preplanned for the church in their K. K. midst. No clues to the bombers have as yet been found. "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. The problem is that many 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 some 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. LIFE'S DAY. LIFE'S DAY. I ask not strength of arm with which to press my way. But strength of soul to meet the ills of life, each day. Nor power, such that sons of earth shall know my might; But heart and hand and will combined to do the right. Not for a lengthening of life's brief day I ask. But for completeness when I end my earthly task; That life, tho short or long, as God may so decree. Be full and rounded out when it returns to Thee. Ellis Andrews Dale, M. D.

Never Mind Parties, He Says—Some Interesting Political History— Taft, Coolidge, Al Smith and The K. K. K. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 4, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I saw in the good "Old Reliable" Gazette the questions of R. H. McQeen, secretary of the Young Men's Republican club of Cleveland. He asks what excuse can an Afro-American voter make for a party in the North that distrangens people. But people are discriminated against all over the U. S. A. by the Republican party which welcomed the K. K. here in the North. Since Wm. H. Taft started segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., we have had no party. Democrats have fought the K. K. K. in the North and in the South. Has the Republican party done so? Just think of Gary, Ind.! Did the Republicans do that? The old Republican party is rotten. The new No. 1 Republican party is Michigan. Democrats are more loyal to our people than Republicans. Remember the K. K. K is Republican here in the North. Furthermore, Gov. Al Smith has done more for our people in New York state than President Coolidge has done for us in the entire country. I lived there three years. He asked Calvin Coolidge to stop the masked K. K. K. from marching in public in their bedsheet uniforms. Coolidge refused to do so but Al Smith stopped them and gave us work where the K. K. K. had stopped us from working. Tell me where is the state in which the Republicans have done this? I am a Socialist; no Republican party for me. The two old parties have made it hard for our voters to work for years. We can boast of any party when they put all nationalities ahead of ours? *Vote for the man, you want. Never mind party.* Very truly yours, R. E. Luttrell Presbyterian "Color-Line." Tulsa, Okla. — Vigorous protest against segregation was voiced in a resolution adopted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in session here, last week. The resolution was offered when the local committee set aside a section of the gallery in the auditorium for our attendants. While the commissioners sent to the Assembly as delegates were seated, by Presbyteries and voting sections without discrimination, the Aro-Arto Commission required me to go to the gallery. To this arrangement all of our commissioners, as well as a number of the whites, protested, and the resolution was offered by Commissioner Wm. Lloyd Ims, of New York City. Coming to Cleveland.

HOW THE RASCALS DO IT IN THE SOUTH Developed at the Trials of Solvent & Fraternal Savings Bank Officials — Sentenced to the Penitentiary. Memphis, Tenn. — Frenzied finance, check "switching" of large amounts and other irregularities featured the first day's trial of the second group of Solvent and Fraternal Savings Bank officials here, May 28. The first group of three was sentenced to the penitentiary five minutes after being arraigned. Indication that Powers Thornton, teller of the Prosecuted bank, had turned state's evidence developed when he was given a severance at the beginning of the trial. Those who went on trial, May 28, were: Thomas H. Hayes, undertaker, and for many years one of the leading business men of the city; G. W. Atkins, its vice president and an insurance man; J. L. Yancy, assistant cashier and P. W. Thornton, teller. Evidence brought out by the State bank examiner, I. H. Wilson, (white), who was the first witness, revealed an amount of "rottenness" described by the official as the worst he had ever witnessed in banking experience. It was testified that T. H. Hayes, who in 1925 was secretary-treasurer of our Knights of Pythias, had on deposit, or should have had on deposit at the bank, the sum of $36,888.97 to the credit of the lodge. Records at the bank revealed that Hayes had but $15,000 there. Ousted From Lodge About this time the K. P. held a state convention at Nashville and Hayes was voted out of office. To make his account at the bank balance, Hayes and Atkins executed notes for $11,000 and $9,500, respectively, making up the deficit of $21,403. Frenzied Finance. To make the accounts balance Hayes took $21,410 from his account and applied it to the lodge's credit. Hayes then made the audit was made, the sum of $21,410 was immediately switched from the fraternal order's account back to Hayes' account and there was no deposit or debit ticket to trace the account. THE OUTLOOK BAD For Our Delegates and Visitors to the Republican National Con- ference Kansas City, Mo.—It is fairly certain that delegates to the Republican National Convention meeting here, next week, will fall before this city's "jim-crow" policy in hotels. This means that our members of northern delegations will be separated from their white brethren who will have reservations in hotels. Our folk will be shunted to private residences. National Committeeman Perry Howell made a statement to be on the Hoover payroll, was here recently and "fixed everything up." How well he performed, delegates will find out when they reach this city. My guess is that politics will not be able to succeed where religion has failed. Religion certainly failed during the M. E. general conference. Our two M. E. bishops, Clair and Jones, were promised quarters with other prelates in the large hotels. These tavern-keepers and administrators were one of them was sent subsequently to an apartment hotel which turned out to be a "sporting house." Naturally, he left and sought residence with a private family. Delegates with whom I talked not only resented the outrage, but declared that another convention will come to Kansas City over their dead bodies, so to speak. The local committee (white) on entertainment originally planned for separate seating in the meeting place at convention center. All of them were assigned all that and delegates and visitors were seated indiscriminately. Washington conference delegates were seated in front of the Baltimore conference delegates, while those from Chill, Iowa and Central German conferences surrounded the Delaware conference. On the front rows were blacks, whites and reds. The convention dining room was operated by Centennial church and open to all. All of the bishops lodged at all hotels except Bishop R. J. Jones and Bishop Matthew clair. Both stopped at home. Indian and Oriental delegates were quartered at the hotels and Y. M. C. A., the Liberians in private dwellings. New Michigan State Agent.

Prof. De Madariaga, formerly di- rector of the disarmament section of the League of (Notions) Nations, How of Oxford University, England, writing in the London (Eng.) Times, recently, said: “At the very moment when it of- fers Europe and all the nations of the world a pact renouncing war as an instrument of national policy, the American government is engaged in operations in Nicaragua which many people, both in the United States and abroad, consider as a war. “The Nicaraguan case has not led up to an American war because there is no American nation strong enough to stand up to the United States, . . . An identical situation in Burope would have led to a Euro- pean war and almost certainly to a world war.” Prof. De Madariaga’s expose of the inconsistency and duplicity of “the American Government's” war on Nicaragua, and Haiti, too, is most timely and well-placed. Our gov- ernment has no legal right in either country, as it is, It is doing what it is, under the cover of the Monroe Doctrine and because it is the most powerful nation on this side of the Atlantic and east of the Pacific, All for “big business”, in this country. As Prof, De Madariaga says, this is the view held by all of the European countries. All of which shows what “a strangle-hold big business” has upon “the American government.” | ANCESTOR CHIMPANZEE.

When Councilman E. J. Gress (Dem.) went to Mr, Maurice Masch- ke, head of the local Republican or- ganization, one day last week, with Atty. John E. Roundtree, to secure his endorsement of Roundtree’s can- didacy for the legislature, Mr. Ma- schke told them to come back with Councilman Tom Fleming (Rep.). ‘When they asked Tom to accompany them to see Mr. Maschke, he refused to do #0 it ts said, because Gregg, Fleming {s alleged to have said, “showed him up in the Council, Monday night” when the McGinty resolution, granting local Afro- ‘American Democrats a permit to hold a carnival in E. 49th St, was PATRICIA AND | ARE GOING TH DOWN TOWN, CHESTER, | Wish YouD STAY.

Tom opposed it and had it side-tracked by the Republican majority tn the Council. This was Monday evening, June 4— 4 most unfortunate proceeding for local Republicans, to say the least Gregg was right, in scoring ‘Tom for his reprehensible course in opposing the McGinty resolution, even if it did cause Tom to pout and refuse to accompany him and Roundtree to see the “boss.’ The quasi Republi- can organization endorsement finally given both candidates, John Roundtree and Perry B. Jackson, is very apt to result in the defeat of both of them and give our other lo- cal candidates for the legislature a good chance to win. —iili— OUR BANK DIRECTORS. In the organization of our banks, building and loan, and finance com- panies great care should be taken in the selection of the members of the board of directors. It was only a few years ago that a bank charter was refused Afro-Americans of New York on the ground that not enough experienced business men of stand- ing were named as directors. Em- phasizing the importance of sound, ‘intelligent bank management, the vice president of the American Bankers’ Association recently said: “The burden of bank management in the final analysis must rest upon the offfcers and directors of the in- Aividual institution, Too often in the past men unfamiliar with good banking practice have become of cers and directors of banks. Direc: tors should be selected trom people Of broad experience and sound busi- ness judgment, as well as valuable contacts and. a co-operative spirit. Too often the directors have known nothing of banking and haye PAI ED to realize their full responsibili- ties in the supervision of the bank.” ‘As we have recently sustained sev eral disheartening bank failures it might be well for the stockholders o' some of our banks, savings and loan and finance companies now operat. ing, to check up on the membership of the boards of directors and in their business enterprises, The man who has the most money or who 1s the fastest or best talker, sometimes styled an “orator,” may not neces- sarily make the best bank director or official.

Seattle, Wash. —- Wesley Foster, Washington State College's “Afro flash,” of Wenatchee, broke the world’s record for 175 yards in 16.6 seconds at the Pullman athletic meeting, June 1. The former record, held by Charles Paddock, world’s 100-yard champion, was 17.4 sec- onds. Hanserd Stars, George Hanserd, East Tech's flashy speedster, ‘starred at last Saturday afternoon's local _ inter- Scholastic track moet at West Tech field, leading the contestants in points with a total of sixteen. Satur- day week, he won first honors at the Ohio high school track meet in Co- lumbus, May 26, by winning the broad jump with’a leap of 22 ft. At Lakewood he won honors in the 100- yard dash. Hanserd has won five medals this season. He takes the board running at terrific speed, and catapults high through the air while making his record jumps. ean Se acaaa Gade. Sunday’s Cleveland Daily News said: Here is Jim Barnes of Oberlin, the one-man track team. Barnes is a great sprinter and won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes at the Big Six tournament. He is a fine low hurdler and pushed Kane of Ohio Wesleyan to a remarkable new record in the low hurdles at the same meet. He is a great quarter-miler, and his race gave Oberlin a new record of 3 minutes 20 seconds for the re- lay, also on the same day. He is also a great broad jumper, but an injured ankle has prevented him from jumping. | Barnes’ personal performance en- abled Oberlin to take second place in the Big Six. Barnes is scheduled to compete at Chicago in the national collegiate meet June 8 and 9, and hopes to show enough to be admitted to the final Olympic tryouts at Cambridge in July. Granville, A Winner Again. New York City.—The team of Philip, Granville, Hamilton, Ont., and Frank Von Flue, Kerman, Cal., captured C. C. Pyle’s 26-hour team running race, which ended at Madi- son Square Garden at 11 p. m., June 2. Fewer than 500 persons were in “at the death” of the metropdtitan district's first demonstration of in- door cross-country racing. Gran- ville and Von Flue will divide $10,- 000 for their victory. The former is said to have told Chicago “Afros” who sought to honor him, a couple of weeks ago, that he was an “In- dian.” The Tigers’ New Managers. Harry Jeffries, star third baseman, is the new manager of the Tigers, appointed, last week Thursday, to succeed Frank Duncan, released. ‘The Tixers’ opponent, Saturday and Sunday, was the Buffalo Black Sox. Under Jeffries’ leadership, they won 14-9 before a fair crowd, Saturday afternoon. Hot with the stick, they got to Wooden and Hughes for twenty-five safe bingles, mostly for extra bases. The playing of Pete Willet; at short, and Saul Davis at the keystone sack, were the features of the game. ° Both men are new- comers to the local club, Sunday, apparently, was a lucky day for the team for it trimmed “Home Run” Johnson’s Buffalo club, 12-7 and 6-2. in a double-header.' The second game was a pitchers’ battle for seven jnnings between Williams for the Tigers and Brady for Buffalo. With the count 2 and 2 in the seventh and the bases loaded, Man- ager Jeffries benched Williams and sent Dean, pitching ace of the Tig- ers, who retired the visitors in one, two, three order. Sunday's games Were said to be for the benefit of the A. U.K. & D. of A. band. Brana- han, former “Tate” star, pitched the first game for the local’ club. General Manager Williams. L, R, Willlams, the new general manager of the Tigers, is responsible for the many recent changes in the team. He previously was the book- ing and publicity agent for the team. After making good in these capac- ities, he was chosen, last week, as general manager by Owner Barkin (white) of the “Forest City Baseball club.” Williams’ first step, as gen- eral manager, was to release four players who had been playing indif- ferent ball, and he says three more are to go. He claims that in two years he will have fashioned a con- Pullman Porters Strike.

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 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 Johnson, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present 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 laborers. He restricted the white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Democrat, not a Republican. It was begun 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 our Republican president. Some mentions 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 here, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and the seat of 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 put up a plenary session on democracy 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 which has been the most active in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) (Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, congresses are held. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, 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 at the more when their subject that they are capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for 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 regression, 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 very presence of the colored, to the departmental 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 it was to come off, and he ordered the clerks to go to the well as the white. These clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the location 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 the job. The colored clerks have been used to form a union which may regularly and often seem mainly and intelligent appeals to the postmaster, 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 keeps faith with the government's unified scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large caseload in this huge structure, with all of the employees go, but there are in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary rolls and the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the inferior whites pass over 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, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the privilege of 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 right-elected employee. He was a pilot. Right after the dance incident a fire broke 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 the government was no war 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 tasks to be made to a detail that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous treatment is not 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 president and a wife of Senator Robert La Follette (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 moved to 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 neither space nor vigor of utterance. 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 six hundred influential white papers 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 jobs. We have the inevitable result of segregation in the will shopping 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 as the country has never known, devised the national banking system which finance 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 Hoper, a Democrat from Maryland, has promoted several of them. Since the new legislation and the numbering 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 can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our employees as is in the other branch 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, lock rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for other areas. The Negroes are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of a national driveway, where white persons 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 sees is two thousand diners with spouses to not one Negro! His only share is 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 where the claim is 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 action of the division altogether, so they remain in dialogue to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and be 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. A gentle scale of his pen, President Gulch 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.

In addition to its practicality, the silk coat is conceded by fashion seers to be of outstanding significance. And it is not only matrons and dowagers who are calling for black silk coats for the younger set are all enthusiasm. RAYON SATIN A F FOR THE TAILOR PITY the faithful silk worm! After centuries and centuries of silk producing for the world, it wakes up to find a powerful competitor in the field—rayon weavers. What a fickle lot fashion's followers must seem to these creatures.

It is difficult to realize that any satin and brocade as handsome as that used for the making of the negligee in this picture is after all merely a washable rayon fabric. The beauty about this superbly lovely artificial silk is that it launders as exquisitely and as easily, yes, infinitely more easily, than the humble cotton fabric. Oh!

Making up faille satin in reverse that's what many eminent stylists are doing in order to give distinction to the coat. The model in the picture adopts this scheme, inserting a slender point of the luster surface down the back as you see. The dull and the luster side of the faille satin continue to play hide-and-seek throughout the entire styling of this coat.

PETER DEPAOLO ENTERS A CAR Winner of the Big Race in 1925 Will Drive Machine This Year. Peter Defaolo, sun-stained son of Italy, who was the American racing champion in 1925 and 1927, has just entered a car in the International 500 mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. Peter, a nephew of the great Ralph Defaima, in whose speeding tireprints he has followed and surpassed, will pilot a Reo Flying Cloud, marking the entrance of another manufacturer in the most spectacular sport, which not alone provides thrills for thousands of spectators but points the way to the refinements and innovations in passenger car construc His First Appearance. DePaolo made his first appearance at the Indianapolis track eight years ago as a grease ball for Ralph DePalma's immaculate speedsters. He was permitted to join DePalma's stable as reward for an impeccable record in Uncle Sam's army during what has become known as the World war. Soon he was riding beside the canny DePalma, as riding aide, all this being in the days of two seater cars, long before the sleek, projectile type of hurry buggies were in vogue. Many a trick DePaolo learned as he sat beside his skillful uncle, watching Ralph maneuver his car through 125 mile an hour traffic. Peter got the urge to drive, Ralph, with the wisdom of age, declared he wasn't ready for a pilotship. They disagreed and parted. Got a Car. Peter got a car all right. Then he proceeded to smack fences and retaining walls on every track in the country. He couldn't even place in a race—except against a fence. Just as he had about run out of angels to provide cars for his fence-busting act, Fred Duesenberg, the soft hearted creator of a long line of winning cars, gave him one more chance. It was all Pete needed. He won the International 500-mile race at Indianapolis in that start in 1925. He gained fame, wealth and confidence. Ever since he has been one of the foremost contenders and was the American Automobile association champion in 1925 and in 1927. He is married and has a son three years old. Cause of Motor Knocks Explanied by Scientific Motors "knock" because of the very rapid burning of tiny drops of the fuel containing peroxides, formed during compression, believes Prof. E. N. da C. Andrade, whose lectures on engines before the royal institution in London are attracting wide attention. Professor Andrade says there are at least 14 theories as to the causes of the "knock" which is so disconcerting to automobiles. He inclines to the one mentioned and says that regardless of the cause, certain chemicals, among which may be named lead oxide and iron carbonyl, if put into the petrol in quite small quantities, will cause it to occur more easily. As the use of the "anti-knock" substances allows the use of a higher compression, Professor Andrade believes there is a great future for the development of this method of increasing efficiency. Spark Plugs Lose Their Efficiency Explain different causes of spark plug deterioration, H. Hubezmann, research engineer, says in part: "Gasoline has several elements including sulphur that cause plugs to wear away, and when sulphur is present in an excessive amount, it will hasten deterioration of plug electrodes as well as valves. When the electrode wire is eroded through the action of sulphur, the old system of cleaning with no enemy cloth or a scraper, is of no avail. "Another source of deterioration is the iron content in the gasoline which, in time, leaves a brown coating over the insulator. This coating under certain conditions is a good electrical conductor and causes missing of the engine because the spark current travels through the coating instead of jumping the gap. This brown coating cannot be cleaned off the insulator by any available means the car owner has on hand, and when it is a very dark brown, the best thing to do is change plugs. "Carbon is still another trouble. It can be cleaned from the insulator by running the car a few miles at high speed to heat the insulators to a point where they will burn away the oil and carbon which has accumulated from slow driving. If this does not correct the trouble the best thing to do is change plugs." Proper Compression in Good compression in a motor car engine cylinder depends on the fit of the rings in the cylinder and on the fit of the rings in the grooves of the piston. Many amateur auto mechanics fall on a ring fitting job because they fail to realize the importance of piston ring fit in the cylinder grooves and the need for a clean groove that will permit the ring to operate without binding. Before you attempt to fit new rings scrape all SHAPE OF SCRAPER (SHOWING ENDS BENT UNWARD) SCRAPER BEING ROTATED BY HAND SHARPENED ENDS POSITION OF SCRAPER WHEN FURNISHED INTO PISTON GROOVE A carbon scraper fashioned from an old piston ring makes an ideal tool to remove the carbon from the ring grooves in the piston. carbon and gunned oil out of the piston ring grooves.
